 what's going on guys welcome to another video today we're just gonna go have some fun I'm gonna go fish the old pond behind me and hopefully catch some big fish as you guys could tell in the recent video I did a video on this bad boy on how to fish rattle traps well I want to see if I can go catch me a good one on this today because I went out there that other day and caught one first cast on this bad boy and I also hooked one that I said in the video is about four pounds but me personally I think it was bigger I really I got a glimpse of it and then when I rewatched the video I mean that thing was big personally I think it was over five we're gonna go out there and hopefully catch us a big one I'm gonna be throwing this bad boy I'm also gonna have like a drop shot on just to slow down if I have to and we're gonna cover a lot of water today I'm not gonna really stay just in my backyard we're gonna walk around but we're just gonna have some fun overall you know I've been working you know just on everything so much and today really hit me and last night it really hit me and I've been getting to the point where I'm so exhausted that it's ridiculous I've been just a few hours of sleep every night for the past couple weeks just because I'm trying to be the best that I can be at everything and not just one thing um I'm striving to be the best at everything so which with that being said that means you gotta put in the work you know there's no overnight success so that means I gotta go put in the work put in as many hours as I can to strive you know I just got out of class um been in class all day and I got a few hours until sunset so I'm gonna come out here I'm gonna try and make a video for you guys you know as you guys know I mean I post three videos a week I've been doing that consistently and even though I'm exhausted right now I've been at class all day I got a lot of homework I gotta go hit a two hour gym session I gotta do all this stuff that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop so let's go ahead and get out there we're gonna have some fun today and hopefully hook into a giant. Alrighty first cast see what we can do that would just be insane if I caught another one on my first cast I wish we had some wind out here today it is very icy right here super slick I'm gonna start by working this bait a little bit fast figure out what this fish are doing you know it's about to slow down they might be eating it more aggressive today you never know these fish you just gotta figure out it's one of those things when you go out in the water you can't just assume they're gonna buy a jerk bait when you're jerking it you know it's yeah go out there you gotta figure them out figure out how they want that bait for that day oh he came off oh my god he murdered that thing I was just thinking about I was about to get a bite right there well jerk the rod out of my hand I hate having to go for a chest mount on when I'm fishing can get aggravating because when I go to hooks at the bait and cameras in the way that's a good sign I'm gonna pick up this drop shot I've been thrown around that rattle trap had that one bite I'm gonna pick up this drop shot and move this slow bait that's what I love to do you know throw my moving baits see if I can get a reaction bite if that doesn't work you know switch up throw something slow see if I can go in follow that rattle trap up with this moment slow moving bait all right guys just walked over to this other side of the pond the reason I walked over here and what's really key me off towards this part is the sun's right there and it is 97 degrees outside right now it is hot and there's these trees and the sun's coming this way so this is perfect cover right here and there should be some fish stacked up in this corner and uh tucked up underneath these trees and all in the shade right here just makes the most sense especially on a hot day like this for the fish to be sitting in this corner and see if we can catch a few right here I didn't bring any more worms or camera batteries or anything so I will have to walk back here in a minute let's see if we can catch one I know there's one sitting in this corner there he is oh no he's pretty small yeah he came off that was a small one but the way I was working that was pretty crazy I was throwing it out there jerking it like this kind of ripping it god he smashed it these fish are so hard to keep hooked on this rattle trap it's ridiculousness fairly annoying I mean yeah that one caught me off-guard but still uh I've lost so many fish on a rattle trap it's ridiculous but at least they're biting it it's just a reaction at least I wasn't a monster that I just lost like the other day there he is I don't think it's a bass gosh he's a decent one there we go that was the next cast right after I said that same spot he ate it on the fall I didn't even jerk it yet and here he had it in his mouth that's not a bad fish at all guys very pretty nothing huge but gosh he felt monstrous he wasn't tugging at all it's just the way I had him hooked but what a pretty fish it was literally right when I hit the start button on the record like reel down my slack he was already on there this little bad boy this rattle trap this might be a really productive way to catch him out here you see I've never tried it out here that's the thing you gotta just experiment with new baits and when I go pond fishing I kind of get in the zone where I don't really want to throw many baits that's kind of want to stick to one that's just not in lake fishing don't get me wrong but pond fishing that's usually what I do it's a bad habit I need to start switching up more but I literally decided to make a tackle Tuesday over this video I found out that these fish are really liking this rattle trap and it is coming around I mean that time of year where they're gonna start eating this rattle trap but god I didn't expect them to start eating it this good maybe we'll start just whacking them on it here's just the way I was working out that fall and then jerk up on it and just grabs it that was two fish in the same spot right over there people spraying chemicals you see that guys that's chemicals getting dropped in the water I'm getting out I can smell it coming back out here I just went in the house for a second I don't know if those chemicals are harmful towards us or what they are so I just want to go inside I could I mean I could smell it was strong and I could see the stuff hitting in the water so we're bubbling and popping you can see just a little few spots now but I don't know just better to be safe than sorry plus I was getting super hot like I said it was 97 degrees out here it's getting a little cooler out and I'm hoping I'm thinking this is going to be the prime time for these fish you know that sun just kind of tucked down behind the trees I'm hoping these fish are just going to start chewing usually get a little feeding frenzy you know and I'm hoping these fish are going to just start munching go I don't know what's right there in the water but I'm feeling it's about to eat my rattle trap that's for sure god it's an expensive rattle trap too yep go that sucks right there well I'm gonna go tie a different colored one on I guess we'll just keep on trying catch some I actually tied on this sexy shad um Sarchu's red eye shad try this bad boy out maybe they'll even eat this one even better this isn't a one knock or so who knows they might want this even better we might end up whacking them with this color even even more you never know gotta switch it up try something new every once in a while there we go destroyed that thing that's what I'm talking about look at that choke that bad boy that's how you know they want it so hard to get those hooks out without pliers look at that that's a little thick guy that one's not as big as the last one but gosh he's he's got a thick body pretty little fish he slammed that thing whoo that was tough I'm like so hot just got dark I'm giving the best so I can give you guys I literally don't have any time anymore and I'm just trying my best I don't give that much time to go out there and fish and when I do I have a few hours before dark because of class and I mean it sucks gosh it sucks but I want to show you guys a few things before I even start to sign off this video I got a few things uh yesterday installed and it's just sick I just want to show you

the Super Bowl what else that's about it don't watch TV I haven't had time to and all you know I got these TVs because I really don't have time only time I want to be watching this is like when I'm cooking my food and waiting for it to cook or if I'm doing homework I can sit here and watch a little bit like I don't know but the TVs are sick I mean I don't know if I'm just going crazy because I haven't watched TV in like five six years these TVs are sick but like I can search anything on YouTube I can search anything or Netflix already had Netflix and you watch whatever on Netflix you have
