[pspsrule]

Are there any other tourneys anytime soon in the Chicago area?

[AlexVarela909]

WHat color did you use??

[xialong123]

well my boats been in the shop for the past couple of days so i havent been able to get out but i caught my big fish i talked about previously on a firetiger Little Cleo spoon. small crankbaits in either firetiger or a crayfish pattern and if that doesnt work either a small 3-3.5 inch creature bait or a white curly tail grub with a white or red jighead

[j0j0barz33]

@T3K1000 Totally agree with you man! I think that alot of people get caught up in the equipment and the buying part of fishing. Its hard for me just to bring my camera out because of the fact that I just want to fish...Personally i believe that the harder the bass fishing is the more humble an angler becomes

[xialong123]

ahh braidwood, nice! i live on the kankakee river just caught a 3lb smallie last night! and by the right hand of god i was hooked into a 5-6lber and ANYONE who knows smallies here in illinois THATS big fish. lol

wow nice fish a smallie at braidwood? thats crazy! i go fishing at the south wilmington sportsman club all the time too. good fishin bro!

[j0j0barz33]

@xialong123 6lber??? Man i bet that got your heart going...not alot of smallmouth fisheries around IL....I also was surprised to pull up a smallie at braidwood..its a rare find

[j0j0barz33]

@xialong123 Hey I'm having a tourney soon on the kankakee..do you have any suggestions especially for this time of year?

[gillchaser2008]

[fishingdaybyday]

when u use braid for topwater frogs and for pitching heavy cover with plastics do u use a liter for ur braid ??? when braid and liter do u use

[j0j0barz33]

sometimes i'll use a floro leader if the water is super clear...and i only usually use it when thers heavy weeds not just lily patches

[fishingdaybyday]

[j0j0barz33]

Big lake an alot of tall weeds people were spread out all over the place, thanks for watching

[colbybassmaster]

what about the boat part of the tournament you werent on one?

[j0j0barz33]

nope no this one, April 17th is the boat one on a Resv. not enought people showed up with the boats

[colbybassmaster]

oh that sucks, you hshould i.m me i wanna learn some stuff about audio, facebook, and i will give you a shoutout in my next vid

[colbybassmaster]

but noone finesse fishing huh??? that just gets me maybe becuase of the wind i will telly you about a killer windy finesse technique, for big smallmouth and magnum spotted bass that noone uses and is highly underutilized

[j0j0barz33]

I was fishing a shakey head and some DShots and some wackys but there was nothing biting...smallies had already spawned so i was looking for an aggressive lure

[colbybassmaster]

hey jon great job!!1 i need some video editing tips so call me or i.m me bro about audio and stuff from the master : )

[j0j0barz33]

Ya sure man before 11:30 or somthing

[EvanandGregComedy]

you didnt win but a bad day of fishing beats a day at home in my book

[j0j0barz33]

Thanks I'm only 4 points under 1st so next tournament should be a breeze

[TheCrickHicks]

To bad u didnt win...but good video anyways

[wubwubwubba]

That looks COLD good job for scraping something together though. As for the A/C i say count it. If youve got the official weight 16 inches is right on. but its up to you and Colby i guess

[j0j0barz33]

Thanks man! about 6 people came home empty handed...the smallie hit in about 2ft water...too much fun, thanks for watching

[colbybassmaster]

i wish we coudl do weight dude so bad but inches is ok count it its my division so it helps thanks for trying : )

[wubwubwubba]

@colbybassmaster i meant if he said it was like 20 inches or clearley much bigger than it was
