 Well boys and girls I have a treat for y'all today we have been waiting on the river to drop for over two months and we're finally getting out on the river we're actually up river today we're gonna be dropping the big boat in as you guys can tell behind me and we're gonna be trying to catch some big bass but if you guys are new to the channel hit that subscribe button hit the notification bell also hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content we're gonna have a good day today come on man Cody Yo Cody yo that Cody in the back and we've got the boat already let me show you guys this real quick so I didn't have the cover on the boat and look how much pollen got on this thing and this is in a day right Cody yeah one day one day look how much pollen even the pollen on my rod and reels from driving over here it is horrible we're gonna be searching for some big bass and I'm hoping that we're just gonna make it happen I'm so excited to be out here on the river we got Cody with the drone shots too we're gonna be putting the drone up some today it's just gonna be all in out a really fun day on the water it's actually like 2 30 right now it gets dark now around 7 38 o'clock so we got about five hours of fishing five hours to catch five big bass that weigh about 30 pounds that's the goal here but yeah let's go ahead and drop the boat in the water and start fishing we're gonna go up river might have to head back down but I think for throughout the beginning we'll head up got a few spots marked off I haven't been here in a very long time so we're gonna go up here check this way you guys look along the bank the river has dropped so much the water is very murky too I think it's gonna be good we're gonna head up river a little bit fish around some little lakes up there see if we can find some fish we're gonna move very fast today you guys are wondering about the conditions it's very cloudy out you got barely any sun peeking through right now almost looks like it's about the rain but there's no rain nearby these bass are gonna be roaming a lot more on the Savannah river like prime conditions at least for me I love when it's sunny out bluebird skies if I was on any other lake I wouldn't say that but here out on the river bass really relate to cover and when the sun's out you know they're gonna be more predictable they're gonna tug up on that covered tighter today with it being very cloudy these bass are gonna be roaming a little bit more they're gonna be a little bit harder to find it's gonna be more of the right place at the right time covering a lot of water with the moving bait we're still gonna pick up a Texas rig toss around a bit but for today I think we're gonna put on like a thunder cricket by striking cover a ton of water with the chatter dog and see if we can catch a big one we're about to get it started we have a white thunder cricket tied on right now I was using this at Lake Mayor by the way if you guys need to go check out that video we caught some really good fish you guys want to go check out that Lake Mayor video I highly suggest you go do it it was a tough day of fishing but we pulled through we caught a lot of fish caught some good ones the last upload on the channel and tie this thunder cricket on I think we're gonna start off just covering water I got a Texas rig tied on as well which is I mean you you got to have that when you come out on the river that's that's just a bait that you need to have in the boat we're just gonna start fishing we're starting a little oxbow right now we're not really in one of the lakes that ends in the back and a creek flows in it just a straight oxbow off the main river and we caught some good fish here in the past and I'm curious to see how these fish are acting today conditions are totally different I saw some people catch them out here in a few few tournaments on Saturday and Sunday but the conditions were totally different than today so I'm curious to see if these fish are gonna bite the temperature has dropped the last few days so I guess we'll see we're gonna throw that thunder cricket bunch of this cover on the bank just kind of cover water here at the beginning and see what these fish are doing so while we're at it I'm gonna go ahead and put the Texas rig on and this is the rage crawl this is in black and blue different color than what we've been using you know we've been using some of these natural colors out in Lake Mayer and some of the other areas that we that we fish recently have no idea what that was but coming out here on the river you know your colors are gonna change you're gonna start using some black and blues you can still use some natural green pumpkins I've caught them on out here but with how dirty this water is we're gonna need more of a black and blue black and red Junebug that's gonna be the trick today so I'm actually gonna tie another rod this is a 3xd that's from 10 to 12 foot this bluff bank right here is a little steeper I kind of want to get more back in this oxbow I'm just gonna put this on kind of just cover water something to kind of cast around see if there's any bass roaming around it's an interesting little color too I think it'd be good in this dirty water I just kind of saw it and I was feeling it so I'm like you know what let's just try it go with our gut 90% of time out here you'll see at some point you got to be accurate that's a freaking tank I think it's a mud yeah it is a mud it looks like there should have been a bit of bass in there we got all the mud docking to get the monkey off our bed that's what we do with those you don't want to bring them stinky slimy fish in the boat but hey the that's a start a little confidence booster let's need these fish to bite that's it oh go I don't know if that was a branch or one hit me there it is it's a bass too a decent one ate it right off that grass uh-huh first little bass today just about to pick up my spinner bait and have this little guy bite the crawl look at these little spots on them it's all beat up but hey it's the first bass today caught a few muds pretty little chunky guy got some black marks on his fin thank you for biting buddy let's get him back in the water see if we can catch some more oh my gosh dude I just had a kodi I had a massive one I think he was on bed duty he hammered it and I can't get any closer because of how shallow we are but that was a giant bass huge one dude he like spooked off that was that was actually crazy I never experienced anything like that I thought I was about to just have to I can't believe he spooked like I would have sworn he would have bit again he like went to the right it's like I can't get any closer even if I do I got to kick up water it's going to make too much noise I was going to sworn he would have bit again I'm going to try one more time dude I can't get that on my head all right it's all good probably freaked him out dude landed on his head he's like what is this probably just scared him oh gosh oh gosh there's a giant giant giant giant we got a monster do this like six six pounder got a monster on might be bigger than that oh gosh oh gosh I gotta get him on this side of the boat he's barely hooked I gotta I gotta get him right here look how big that fish is let's go waiting so long on that bite baby it's a five pounder let's go baby first day back on the river in a while just missed the big fish and just caught a freaking massive one right there five pounder let's go oh man dude dude give me a freaking five baby let's go dude that's a tank dude sorry guys don't have a scale today what in the world and we had it in the truck yeah but there ain't no mistake in that that's five pounder freaking five pounder I want to show you guys exactly what I was throwing but I'm going to put this baby in the box because I want a picture with her that's a freaking tank look at that belly that's a moose that's what you call a river giant dude guys we have been hunting today we put in up river I've only fished here like two times fish or maybe three times last year and I've never fished here this time of year I had a hard time at the beginning just finding spots the fish in general there wasn't many lakes around me I didn't want to make any long runs up or down because we were on the time crunch today caught one bass caught a few mudfish started working the back here had a really good bite super shallow and like inches of water and then all of a sudden five minutes later we catch us a river giant that is a big fish out here so pumped about that if you guys are wondering what I'm throwing this is the same rage crawl that we had black and blue just on a one fourth ounce bullet weight three-odd extra wide gap hook got it paired up custom pro on a mock two combo man I can't believe that that's how we make it happen oh this big girl that's a good one man what a fish what a river bass right there these are the fish that you dream about out here on the savannah river to come out and catch there's some good ones right there super fat belly this is just a filled out fish let's go ahead and get a release on her I want to get her right back in the water go back where she came from not the best release but hey I was trying to switch hands with her and she's a little squirmy girl little squirmy but man that's our second fish today we're gonna keep on hunting but man does it feel good to hook one like that out here on the river you don't catch many of that size it's gonna be that time of year finally the river dropped just blessed to be able to get out here today very nice day but let's keep on hunting around so you can catch some more you notice the only times I've got bites is when I slowed down today like ultra slow and I really threw it's because they're on bed dude that's exactly why like that fish has just hit me like there's no other thing unless it wasn't a bass and it was just something messing with it but there it is this a dang big one no it's not it's a decent one oh nice closing off on the day trying to get a few extra bites these fish I am having to tap my rod on the edge of these trees to get these fish to bite just a little beautiful little chunky guy just a little tiny grunt nice little bass see if we can catch another one I want to get one more come on right here one more please one more fish come on come on come on come on that's a good one no it's not it's a little fat red breath a warm out holy cow what a fat dude oh my gosh look at that chunky guy wow what a stud there's a fish that's a stud that's a stud right there what a stud man he bit that finger let me tell you nice so we got like probably five minutes of fishing we're gonna see if we can catch one more bass we are a good bits away from the ramp I'd say probably probably 10 15 minute drive but we're gonna try to catch one more before the sun goes down should be one right there dude that's a giant oh am I hoaxing the tree did you see how big that was what was he four pounds oh my dude that fish was so big and we have to drive back guys we needed that fish we needed that fish so bad dude I can't leave off that Cody we're gonna be driving in the dark bro I'm sorry we got like guys we're like 10 15 minutes from the ramp we're gonna be driving in the dark but hey I mean I just lost a dang four pounder right there I swear I'm gonna spank this next fish that I catched him I'm gonna give him like a legit spanking they should not be doing that they have been the most naughty fish I swear dude like he deserves a little spanking dude get off you let's go you deserve a spanking boy let's go oh man we're gonna be driving back in the dark but just oh I know the lighting is really bad guys but man I'm just so pumped we get the gump come out on the river it's been flooded for so long that's a good little fish right there maybe a good one in the tournament nice keeper oh I know we could catch like 10 more but I think we're off the head back but uh I'll catch you guys at the ramp or I'll catch you guys in the car dude that was an ex-cast dude I know I said we were leaving but I actually lied look how fat that warm mouth is mm-hmm deserves a spanking been naughty today dude he deserves a spanking dude yeah dude I'm freaking smoking them I can't stop catching them like I'm terrified to drive the river at night but I'm just it's like every cast guys those two cast after the warm mouth what is going on he is hammering me mm dude that's a dang good one that's a fat dude that's one of the fattest river bass I've seen man can you see it on the can I can see it guys I am that that thing about the last cast is I've said I'm gonna make one more cast like 12 times and I just keep catching them that's a good one that's like a two pounder and a one pounder body nice wow what a day on the water we just got off finally head back we were out there for a little over four hours we made it happen let me tell you guys I was starting to get nervous there for a minute we fished a bunch of water that I just didn't think were the best places to fish we finally got out to one of the lakes started hunting her out a little bit caught a little bass um then we ended up missing a really big fish saw that they were up shallow went and caught like a five plus pounder which was just awesome and towards the end you know we really put a hurt on this fish figured out that you had to throw that bait up there and just give it some little taps that was the only way that they were eating it's just crazy to see how the smallest adjustment will help you catch a lot more fish but I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did be sure to hit that like button stay tuned for some more river videos coming up soon because we're gonna have to get out there film some bangers but thank you guys so much for the support thank you guys so much for watching this video I'll catch you guys
