When Cole Menker posted this short YouTube video in spring 2024, he wrote this about his son: “Luke is a 2-year-old avid fisherman! He specializes in catching saugeye, walleye and bass.”
As you’ll see below, Luke has some serious skill with a spinning rod and reel. He’s fishing from shore with his dad on the Little Miami River in Ohio.
Listen closely to many of Luke’s comments while fighting the fish. I love the grunts — classic! And kudos to Cole for letting his son fight the fish solo.
P.S. Luke — now 4 years old — recently caught his first muskie, again on spinning gear. Click here to check out the intense Facebook clip. (Be sure to turn up the volume for best viewing.)
Congrats, Luke!
