In the boat behind me right here, we've got Mr. Trey and old buddy of mine, Brandon. Call him B-Dick, B-Dick and Stick. And our last Derby series, him and his partner, they actually finished second. So really cool to see that. My partner's currently coming down the hill here. Trey's my tournament partner, but Matt is my fishing partner for the weekend. Looks like a solid good time heading my way. We're gonna go to do some, what is fall fishing that feels like summer? So we've already got a report that the fishing's terrible. First guy I ran into said, leave the poles at home, you need to stick dynamite. And we're gonna put a smile on our face, have a good time and hopefully learn some things while we're out here. So let's get after it. Big Sam, as they call it, one of the biggest lakes in the country. Got marks, 15 to 20. That one was in like brush piles on the points. That one was deep though. Yeah, you need to go back there. Yeah. That one had shadows. That one was deep, deep. Had the shadows on it. Yeah, it's like a saltwater bait. Tuna popper or something. I'm gonna get out here on this point. Spoon one up, dude. All right. So we just rolled up on a spot, marked a few brush piles and saw one bust the top. So we got a little, got a little activity going. Just feel like this lake's probably gonna fish like September because it's 95 degrees right now. And it has been in the 70s all nice and comfy. It's not in that zone, so I think these fish are having a harder time figuring out what season it is. We're gonna throw these big shad type things at them and then I'm gonna get a worm going. They're coming up, little afternoon feed. Oh yeah, they're doing that weird, shad chasing on the points. This is, I've done this before, man. You get lost. Chasing them? You get lost, chasing. Fall bass fishing on points. It's a real common, real common thing. Spot of bass? No, it's not. Brush pile? No, it hit it. I saw it. Not slacking the line and then it's on there. Keep in mind, we were just told at the boat room, dynamite is necessary to catch these fish right now. So if we catch one, I'm gonna be excited. If we catch like one four pounder. So it was just the random dude that told you that? Yeah, he just came, he was coming off the water. He's like, he don't need them poles, man. You need a stick of dynamite. I was like, oh, that's always good to hear, right? Love to hear that, man. What he didn't know is legally, like my fishing hands are basically dynamite. I've registered them as explosive fish catching devices. With the state of Texas. So anytime I go out, I'm on the line to get the ticket. There he is, brush pile, freaking A. They're on the point feeding right now. They're out of the brush piles. We pushed up on this point. We were in like 15 to 20, came up five to eight. We saw them coming up here and sure enough, they'd be chomping. Problem is they're just moving around a giant point. Got a topwater on, just walking. And got bit twice. They didn't connect. Matt had one hooked on a jerk bait, pulled off. These are good ones. These are like three or four pounders, you know? We're not even in the magic zone yet. The tree left his friend. There was one right there. There's a couple of boils. Look at them, smacking the shad. That's a big fish too. Got him hooked up, smacked it. It's a big one, dude. That looks like a five pounder. Dude, I'm telling you, there are like three, four pounders that were schooling out here. I can tell by the wake on that one, it's a good one. That's a good fish. Nice. You know, our buddies have been out here struggling, this is too good. Okay, we're gonna put that back in because there's tournament guys watching. That's a nice four and a half pounder, guys. Got him on a vibe jig with a little swimmer. Oh gosh, he's got hammered. Woo, he tickled me. I could see a glide bait doing all right. Yeah, just something big that a big one can kind of zone in on. Hooked up. Spot of bass. Found the spots. Mix of spots. That might've been what just hit me. Spot of bass on the line. Here you go. Two fish within 30 minutes for about five pounds. We just sent a photo to our buddy, Trey, my tournament partner for this next tournament. I caught a bigger fish than they've caught all practice for this tournament. They're fishing right now for tomorrow. And I caught it on his rod. So, sorry, Trey. Oh, here's another one. Oh my gosh, dude. Dude, right next to the boat. It's like every time a boat comes over here, they get excited. Problem is, I can't, I have to be secretive about these fish I catch. When the skeeter swarms start buzzing around, can't really be hooping in hollering over five pounders just like I want to. Like you're just gonna be chasing them in the middle of the day, though. There's one. He is not big. This is probably a spot. I think I'm off. It's all right. I didn't want him to see him anyway. Some type of wood. Audio might've been a little dull right there, I apologize. Turn this, forget this dial. Okay, here we go, here we go. So far, we've got some spotted bass. We've got that big, large mouth. And it just came randomly on a point where shad were pushed up. That was the big key, is like shad were pushed up in five to eight feet of water and there were fish, fish busting on them. You know, not being on the lake and we were here exactly a year ago. And the grass is basically gone. A lot has changed. I'm just going off like typical fall stuff that I think is good. It's like fall to bait. Look for long extended points and then also look for fish to be hanging around creek channels. And then don't forget your like, you know, early morning, evening, top water, bank fish. Throw your walking baits, throw your buzz baits, everything like that. Throw a frog, you got good shallow vegetation. We're just out of grass out here right now. It's a weird time for ravers. We've seen some big fish in brush piles. I haven't been able to get them to bite. Someone in our tournament a month from now will definitely be weighing in a bag over 30 pounds. Probably, I would not be surprised if 35 pound bag was weighed in. So I've never caught them out here like that, but it definitely exists, y'all. Mega boys. Baggins. Juicy, they're pumpkins. Big October pumpkins down there. They're flushing out. Can you show me that again? Sorry, dude. There we go. Look at that guy. There's a hog hammer caught on a sea rig. E.T. special. I just got hit on my spoon here. And this, you know, we saw a bald eagle on this point. We're like, just gotta fish this thing. This feels right. MK, oh, got him. Oh, we on him, boy. Go the way. Giant. Dag um, giant. Oh, I shoot, dude. Well, we found the spot, huh? Well, we found them. They out there deep. I believe in a 13 right here. 30 foot deep on the biggest point on the lake. Come on now. You know how you're going to catch one, right? Can I get a... Oh, yeah. There it is. Pretty shocked. Straight to get it. God, I just got bing-bonged. I just, I just got to believe in a giant. Big giant roaming the deeps. I'm 30 foot on one of the biggest lakes in the United States. With giants in it. And there's some fish on it. Keep fishing until that 10 latch is on. Come on, big girl. That sounds like a good move. Going with the double-clacking half-hounters. You told me it was 30 feet. I was like, no. Yeah, there's only one thing. You got to go deep. I just had another tap-a-rooski here. Might be getting fired up. Yeah, I think especially in the fall when they get, they both, well, spotted bass are always hard on shad, but largemouth get more on shad in the fall, so I think they'll intermingle more in the fall and winter. Baby Mandito. The bug is the drug. I don't have a rock for the baby Mandito right now. Sun going down. We're going to give it one last little dangle here. I honestly think, what we found when we first got out here, just bass eating shad. Probably the program. I've personally been caught up in tournaments where that's a losing strategy because you catch a good fish like that and then you end up chasing them for hours and hours and hours. You're on the trolling motor chasing fish. Not any grass. This is a shallow. This is the timing year where grass should be prolific. It should be thick. It should be annoying in the very shallows, and this lake doesn't have it. We had a bad freeze. I think it killed a lot of the grass out here. That's normally just a haven for shad and bluegill. So we're going to end the day up shallow. Just kind of eliminate some things, check some boxes. This is known for winning tournaments. What type of vegetation? We got some veg. We're not seeing the busters like we did when we first rolled up, so I think that was really happenstance that we came across, but was probably pretty telling how the lake is fishing right now. Tomorrow's a whole different day. We're going to try morning patterns and everything like that, but it's warming up. The patterns are changing. We've got a full moon. I think the mornings are going to be terrible. I really do, unfortunately. But tomorrow just might be a junk fishing day. And we're going to dig into past patterns that have worked for the fall. So anyways, stay tuned. We're going to try to catch up here. We'll see you in the morning. Got him. Right away. Literally saw him on live scope. That's a good fish. Wow. I was thinking these were like one-pounders. It's just a group of rogue. Oh my gosh. Big group, dude. I need to put this down. Look at this. Oh my gosh.
