 Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to phase one of the tour. Been talking about this for a long time, gotta go get Lunkers right now. He is getting his vessel worked on, wrapped, getting some special looking stuff for you guys and we're taking my vessel and we are gonna begin the tour of east Texas. Bass fishing extravaganza, it begins now. I know you got some special stuff already kicking it off, things that we've never even seen on this channel. I like it. Y'all will figure more about all that weirdness as we go along but we're gonna be probably doing a lot of sight fishing so we're trying to give ourselves some helpful tools and hopefully give you guys some helpful tips and tools along the way. So today's kind of a travel day but we do have one lake in particular that we're thinking about stopping at this afternoon. So this is what the back of the truck is looking like here. Ready for the bears, the bears, the tigers, and the mandos. Rob's just getting some last-minute terminal selections ready to rock. I wonder if those things of tungsten fall out. I hope not. Alrighty, oh we've been on the road for a little while now. We're getting close though. All the pine trees, the greenery you can tell, we're deep in the E. It's looking pretty fresh, pretty good. The main thing we were concerned about was water clarity. They've obviously had a bunch of rain out here but this lake has enough grass modules in it that help keep it clean. Bass like to spawn in clear water. They can see each other, it makes things a lot easier. So finding clear water on the lake definitely helps. Got grass in there, that's a huge help. Down here in the south we got hydrilla, millfoil, things like that. And I think we're just gonna go straight after looking for site fish. It's just the exciting, we know what's gonna happen. The water's 66, there's no way they're not up dense. If they aren't, then Rob is, can't come up with anything exciting right there. Stay tuned. Okay, got a little stomp action. Don't really know anything about this lake, so we're just kind of idling around. We're gonna put the trolling bar down, see what happens. All right, let's go. Put my little jacket on. Oh my god. Is that a fish? What is that? That's a alligator. He's got an alligator on. What in the world? That's an alligator. That's not a bass, no. That thing was like four feet long. Whoa, two bass just freaking chasing each other right there. There's one under that bush right there. See that tail there? Yeah, there's another one over here too behind that bush. Oh, okay. I see his tail barely. Yeah, he's like right in there. Stick him with the program. I like you. There's a bigger one. I just saw that fish come out. It's going in there now. I got one here. There's one over here. It's just sitting off. Oh, just rolled. Just rolled and whipped. Oh, you got him. Nice, bro. This one at first was nothing to do. Now I think I've got a little chemistry figure down on this guy. You got him. Yes. Came over and slapped it right on the kitchen mat. All right, we have not moved. Me and Rob just stuck two fish right here, and there's a few more about. So that was fun. At first, that fish was not going anywhere, guys. I mean, it wasn't locked. It was just swimming around, which is not in the zone. And then this was a fish that I had to literally just like, I had to pitch and pitch and kind of surprise it. And then it started kind of getting tighter circles and eventually just honed in. Go back and do your business. Boy there. He's over here to the left hand side. He's like looking right at you. He's like, hey, you trying to film my house? It's going, oh man. He's hard charging in. Oh, sorry about that. He came hard. Am I at the wrong side, you think? No, that's fine. That's what you need right there. All right, good. As soon as you got off that ladder, he goes back. He comes in there and like, I'm speeding in Zollis. Okay, there we go. Nice fresh one. I'm turning in the ladder part of the evening here. Just saw a Mondo boil action in here after a bluegill, I'm assuming. I'm just going to take a moment and throw a few things in here. Oh my gosh, she's still up there. Oh gosh. Oh, there's a boil right there. Do you see that? On the backside? No, right there on the side. Left side. There's got to be a fish there. That's the dock though. I don't know if this fish is residing to the dock. There's definitely a bad there. Definitely a fish there. There's a bed right there. Yeah, we got a turn. Do you see the fish? Yeah, I've camouflaged myself in here. There might be a chance. Oh, got it. Oh, going under the dock. Come here. Sneaky little one there. That was pretty neat. I actually saw that fish. Just saw the boil in the pollen. We snuck up there and I could see him. All fresh. Cool. See you, baby. We did a lot of cruising trying to see, trying to see the fish on this last little bank just turned to mud. We've got boils around the bank. You can see like they're chasing bluegill around. All of the fish we've caught have been fresh. Great sign. We're definitely going to come back here tomorrow. This is just a little scouting day, but wow. Thumbs up. Thumbs up for good fishing. All right, got another fish located and it's a dandy. I'm going to say this is a back boater. Rob, go ahead and send her home, dude. We don't have much light left. Oh, yeah, that's a good fish. Oh my God. She's literally like trying to get a look at us. Okay, we've got another one here. We are just, I can't believe how many beds we're seeing. And there's fish like eating a little bit off the bank, but just so many up here. Okay, here's what's going on here. This male, he is locked, like about to eat it. Female is hanging back. She's just like, what are you doing? Why won't you just guard the bed? Meanwhile, I'm just trying to get in this action. Just trying to get all up in this action. Come on, eat it. Oh, sorry, Rob. Sorry, I bet it was moving. Took a tail off. Very common right there to see that, guys. Just pick up a pencher and go. Just going to flip it in as is. And I'm just trying to look for that white to move through this pollen. Oh, I gave him a little scoop out of the water there. Maybe it's up to hook a little too hard, but all right, there we go. Fresh fish. And it's female, so I'm somewhere around here, but she just, she's not ready. Maybe later tonight. And the night is dark and the moon is high. We're on a new moon, so that probably won't happen. All right, ladies and Gentiles, we are cruising another bank right now. Just end of the day. We're just literally just looking, just scouting to see. I cannot wait to get back here tomorrow. This water clarity over here, way better. We haven't seen any on beds, but we just know if we look, if you look hard enough, we're going to see one up here in the shallows. Um, I believe that's a fish. Longer fish? No, there never was. No, I just think we got a little bit of shadow issue. Okay, we got a little excited. Happens. I think it's taco time. Go find our home for tonight. Get back after it in the AM. I am so pumped. I haven't been so pumped for fishing like this in a long time. I'll tell you guys right now, we just had a godsend. The lady at the front desk is allowing us to park the boat up front at this hotel. So just to catch you guys up, me and Rob came to the hotel here. It's always a little worry, you know, when you're pulling up to this place like, huh, you know, I wonder if they even have places to park and plug and all that stuff when you got the boat trailer. We didn't have a spot. We literally just parked over here on the side and then I just politely isolated. I was like, sir, we got one of those boats that you got a charge and she was like, oh sweet, just pull it right up front. Heck yes. Shout out to the best Western for hooking us up on that. We're going to be right up front. We just walk out of the hotel room in the morning, charging ready to go fired up and head to the lake. This is all about being on the this is all just stuff that happens. Stuff you got to think about. It's not just, you know, going out there and catching them. We're going to settle in in our room and get ready for the next day. Yep. Yes. Oh, and by the way, there are some fishing freaks. You guys are making the video right now. Guess you caught us at the boat ramp. Got some good little graffiti here on the back of the truck. It's so dirty. Oh, Garrett, Garrett was here. Thanks for the vids. Something extra down there. Love vids and something over there. I'm not quite sure, but thank you guys for riding on all the old truck here. Give us a little inspiration for tomorrow. Hope you guys caught some big ones today too. All right. As you can tell, Rob's really excited singing the doo wop. You know, bass around beds when he's singing the doo wop. Was it last time? Oh, yeah. I think he said doo wop, but it's a mix of old school and new school. Whatever. It means he's excited. I'm excited. We're here at a hotel. Can I just say something bad there? I apologize. We're at a hotel OSG and Sarah, don't worry about it. We're going to do our normal thing that you guys probably don't see behind the scenes, but we're going to start downloading footage, get things ready for the next day. Make sure to subscribe to the channels here, and we will see you on the next day at the tour. Big day tomorrow. Looking forward to it. See you then. There's another buff in there. Hey, can you remind me? No, it's being idiot tomorrow. I got two buffs on the boat. I kind of had two on. One for my neck, one for my face.
