 Today, we're having a $50 versus $500 top water only budget fishing challenge. Each contestant must use their budget on a rod, a reel, and top water baits. Then, we're gonna head out to some ponds and get to fishing. The winner of the budget fishing challenge will be determined by the biggest fish. Here goes the $50 budget versus the $500 top water only fishing challenge, but guess what? We got a twist. Connor showed up out of nowhere. He actually, we didn't even know he was coming. He just randomly pulled up and he was like, yo, we're going fishing, so. I didn't even ask for permission. I just showed up and said, I'm fishing today. He said, I'm baiting. He said, we're making it happen. So anyways, guys, it's gonna be the $50 versus $250 versus $500 fishing challenge, top water only. Here we go, guys. This is for the first draw for Connor, since he randomly showed up. I don't know what's gonna happen, man. Maybe he's just gonna draw the $50 budget. Go for it. Don't look at me. I'm feeling so extremely lucky right now. Let's see what happens. You're feeling very lucky. Is that gonna be the $500? $250! $250! Look at that $250 bill. Never seen before right there. First ever $250 bill. Okay. You know what that means, Fletcher? It's coming down between me and you, top of the budget or bottom of the budget. If we know anything in the past, Fletcher has just had some history repeats. History repeats. Before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed. So if you could, take the time, hit the subscribe button. Really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. But what we're gonna do before me and Fletcher draw, and you're gonna decide who gets the 50 or the 500, we're gonna go ahead and let you pick out your baits. So he's gonna be able to pick out a rod, a reel, and whatever top water baits he wants that fits a $250 budget. Let's go ahead and hop into it right now. Welcome to my garage tackle shop here, Connor. And you're gonna have to take yourself out $250 worth of stuff. And today's objective is to catch the biggest fish. So make sure you keep that in mind when you're going through the tackle. Biggest fish. Biggest fish. That's the only thing you gotta do is catch the biggest one. Biggest fish? I'm feeling dangerous. That means we're going to the biggest bait. So, actually, we should start with the rod and reel. Just so I know what we're getting into, but we've got two. What a smart guy. So let's see, should we go with a cake and combo? I don't even think there's a cake and combo with brain out here. I don't even think we have a cake and combo with brain. Is that with brain or floral? That one's got floral. What is that, a Mock 2? Yeah, the Mock 2. That's in price range. This one's got some braid on it. We're gonna go with that. You can't go wrong with a Mock 2. So we're gonna pick that out. That's had about 150. Biggest fish. Biggest bait. I don't even know what this thing cost. What is it? So I picked this thing up maybe seven years ago for $40, so account for inflation. We're looking at about 50. About 50, let's call it 50. All right, we're gonna put this one into the inventory. So to explain that, that's actually a top water swim bait. It's like a week bait, I believe. Yeah, it looks like a swim bait, but this thing is actually like a top water wake bait swim bait. It's pretty much a floating swim bait. It's like a floating swim bait. It's pretty cool. I've actually caught some really, really big fish on this. Yeah, okay. Well, I like it. We're gonna put that one in there. We got about, what, 50 bucks. I mean, Con, I don't think I've ever seen you go out and fish with anything besides a wake bait. See, all right, I was gonna shave the best for lash, but all right, we'll just get straight into it, guys. I actually eat these things for breakfast. This is my go-to bait. If you guys have ever seen me on the channel, I've always got one of these things tied on. So that's gonna be part of the inventory as well. Gotta have the wake bait. Boom. I think Noah's definitely gonna go for that. Oh dude, it's glorious. No, I might not be able to afford that. I feel like today's Noah's day to get the 50. Okay, he does have one hidden in here. So a black poppin' pickle. I like that. We're gonna take that, and then we're also going to do a patroller. Black frog, black patroller. We're ambitious. All right, so now that Conner picked, it is time to determine, Fletcher, if I'm gonna get the $50, or if he's gonna get the $50, whoever's gonna get the $500. Do you want me to pick first, or do you want me to pick? Yeah, just get out and do it. I can't even look at it. I can't even look. All right, I need your assistance. Secure it in the middle. Do a little shaky wiggle. I think that's fair, if Noah goes first. Let's do it. All right, no looking. No looking. No looking. Please, please, please, please, if y'all are just for now. There's only two slips. Should I go for the top one or the top one? Should I go with the top one? Oh, dude. I feel like you're gonna get lucky this time. Okay. What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? I see it. Oh! Dude, you know what's funny. I've really thought that I had the 50, because the- I solidified zero, like it looks like the 50, but I happen to get the $500 again. You always get the bottom budget, Fletch. With that being said, I think we should say 500 for last. Let's go ahead and let you pick out what you're gonna need. All right. We'll go ahead and get it done. Because you're only picking out like one bait, bro. Fletch, you wanna show this thing off to the camera? Yeah, you know what, guys? I feel like it's survival right now. You know, the survival show showed into the camera. I need to write, like, you know, voting Noah off the island, picking their bass TV. All right, guys. I'm a man on the mission with a limited budget, so we're gonna have to figure out something with the $50 that we have. I don't have a lot of low-budget reels and rods, or just low-budget anything for the most part. You got Barbie rods. We got Barbie rods, you know that? That's always an option. If I wanna dangle and just show both of these boys up, I could cop this Barbie rod for like a solid $19.99, but- Out of his own garage. Out of my own garage. I mean, I could do it, but I don't wanna embarrass y'all like that on your own channel, so. That rod doesn't fit you pretty well, though. You know? It's looking, it's licking back at you. Considering we're not gonna go with the Barbie rod, that's basically gonna leave us with like two options. We have a lot of low-budget spinning rods and push buttons, like all of those are under 50. This is under 50. I think this might be our only baitcaster, and then like my second favorite sub 50 rod is this bad boy right here, and that's the Zebco Rome push button. And this thing is fire. I don't know if y'all saw the episode where I was just freaking beaming this thing. I mean, I was beaming some topwater buzz baits up under some trees. I don't think anyone's ever seen someone skip like that. Noah, like, honestly, he wishes he could skip like that with a $500 baitcaster, but you know, he just doesn't have anything on his $50 push button action. But as much as I like that, I think we're gonna have to go with this for the sake of topwater here today. It's got the braid on it. It's all rigged and ready to go, and coming in at 40 bucks, that's gonna leave us with- One bait. We're about a bait, so about one bait. There's only one option when it comes to only having one bait to pick from. That's a- Oh, you love that. That's a sexy dog, hard knock. You hear that, baby? That's the sound of victory. That's the sound of victory right there. We got our Zebco baitcaster, and we got our sexy dog, and that's all we're gonna need to get it done today. Okay, Noah. All right, son. What you gonna pick out? $500. $500 budget. I think I want this boat, bro. I'm gonna be a smart man, just like Connor, I'm gonna pick out my rod of reel first, even though I can probably pick just about anything I would like. I can probably go with two rods and reels, can I? Oh, sure. $500, bro. Without a doubt. $500. Let's see what we got here. Let's go over to the rod rack. A bunch of spinning combos. Definitely an option. I think the ones that are green, I like a little bit better, but that could be an option. Does this have braid? What is this? That does not have braid. See what we got over here. Okay, we got a crush that is definitely an option. And how much are the crushes? $200. $200, I think I can spend $200 on this puppy. Oh, without a doubt. $200. I mean, maybe I'll just get three, man. Okay, we're gonna go with the crush. There we go. That's $200. That is our first choice. I feel like that's looking pretty spicy. I already got braid on it. That's the one thing is we're kind of limited. We're limited today with rods that have braid on them. A lot of them have floral. So let's see what else. I wanna get one more rod. Should I get this one, Fletch? Oh yeah, dude. Maybe just that one? I feel like I need something with green on it today, bro. Just like a part of me. If you want a taste of the low budget, you can vibe with that. Ooh, we got a snake lure on a kicking combo. Does it come with the snake lure for free? I mean, you can easily afford it. To be fair, man, that's got floral on it. I don't really want to use it as much as I would love to use a kicking combo. What is that, bro? It's a hitting kicking combo. What is this, Fletch? Let me tell you, man, these kicking combos, especially the spinning ones, catch anything. We've caught big redfish. We've caught massive catfish. What else have I caught on it, man? I've got a lot of different fish. Really big bass. I love the green braid on there, too. That is just spicy. Woo! And by the way, if you guys want to check out any of the kicking combos, whether it's from spinning reels, the bait casters, the kicking their bass TV, ex lose combos, you can check them out on kickingthevass.com. It'll be linked down below. Thank you to all for everyone that supports me with that. So that's gonna give me a hundred more bucks. I mean, it sounds like you're about to go on a spending spree. So pretty much I can get whatever I want now, right? All right, let's see what we got. Let's see, let's go behind the desk. You know, I'm just gonna do you a favor since I already know you're about to grab a lot of tackle and I'll just give you a whole tackle box. I like it. Here you go. But that's gonna cost you 10 to five bucks. Five dollars. Five dollars for the box. Not a discount for your boy? No. We're just gonna start grabbing, man. This puppy right here, I've actually caught a lot of fish on this. Do you think you like that color culture? I feel like you have about 12 of these. I have a couple of those. Tara actually caught her PB on this exact one. That's the one that she caught that seven, almost seven pounder on. That same color and everything. So we're definitely gonna go with a popper. This is gonna be money to throw on the kick and spinning combo. We're gonna go with that. We got a standard frog, just gotta go with that. You're just plopping them in there, that's right. Just plopping the plop, speaking of plop. Where's it at? I know we got a, we have a controller. What you looking for? There we go, look at that. That's a spicy, ooh. That's a nice controller. You know what, dude? I'm gonna grab this whole box. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on. You're definitely going over budget, my guy. You want me to take the bad out? I mean, what do you think? I mean, these are hundreds of year old lures. You know, back in the day, though. These got, I mean, they were antiques, dude. These would go for at least 33.99 a pop. 3.99, car, man. I would just, I would take all the wake baits up to $500 and then Lee, I'd go home. I'd be out of here. All the wake baits. We just buy them and go. No fishing part today. All right, that's really what I was gonna get. I was gonna get the controller, man. That thing is spicy. By the way, any discount on the mock baits, we'll pop up the code on the screen. Link down below. Bro, come on, man. Is this a challenge without the poppin' pickle? Is this even a fishing video without a poppin' pickle, bro? Money spot, brand new in the package. Looking good. Looking spicy. What in the world is this? Is that a rat or a beaver or a chick monkey or a squirrel? What is this thing, bro? I guess we're picking that puppy up too. We're gonna do that one. These are like 30 bucks. Yeah, it's 33.99. All right, we'll do some of those. Whoa, whoa, you're taking, you're taking, I mean, how much budget you got? You got, you got 200. You got 120, I mean, 200 bucks. I mean, $200. You're telling me this ain't worth 200 bucks. The type of budget is five bucks. I mean, you know what, Plutch? We'll do this. This one's got sentimental value. This one, just not that one. Not this one. We'll cut that one out. This one, this one right here. All right, you can have it. Yeah, I can have it. Okay, that's fine. This is actually the last lure that I'm gonna pick. I could probably, this is roughly the budget. Yeah, the dog, bro. What a bait. What a freaking guy. All right. What a dude. What do you think, man? That's my tackle box. There we go, we're good to go, guys. We got our tackle box full of baits and then we have our Mock Crush and just the beautiful, majestic, glossy. Insane fish catching. Insane fish catching pond monster machine that's gonna win the big fish today. Okay, can come up. Well, let's go ahead and get out to the pond, guys. We're gonna see who's gonna catch the biggest fish. We've got about two hours of daylight. We're gonna be pond hopping a bunch of different places. Let's go ahead and hop into it. All right, let's get it, boys. Are you ready, Plutch? I'm ready, Plutch. Are you ready, Connor? I'm not ready. Oh, now it's reversed. Let's go forward. Oh, oh, oh, no. Oh, not the, not the flow. What is our luck? All right, boys, you ready? I'm ready. We have limited time. We got a limited budget, but we're full of passion and hope and we're for sure securing the dope. Full of passionate hope. Yes, you heard it here. I like it. Oh, boy. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. All right, boys, let's get it. Here we go. Oh, my gosh. We got a hook in the shorts. We got a hook in the shorts. Yeah, it's gonna buy me time, dude. We're off to a good start here. We had a hook in the camera and then we got a hook in the shorts. You have hooked yourself three times since we left the house. And that's perfect because I'm not tied on. One of y'all just do me a favor and hand me some pliers. They're right there next to you, Connor. Should we? I got the cheapest budget, man. Come on. Get out of there. All right, we're out of the shorts. Good to go. I feel like I just got karma for doing that. And all my line just fell right out of my spinning rod. These boys tied up before the challenge. I don't know how I feel about it, but I can't complain, man. I got the big money. All right, boys, we gotta tie up real quick. Little behind them. It's all good, though. Just gotta stay confident, stay positive. Be patient today. I think I'm gonna go with this popper. So I'm rigging up the spinning rod first. This has been tear as a good luck charm is putting literally this exact colored popper by striking on with the cake and combo. So maybe this is gonna be my juice. I'm gonna start off with this and then we might come back and tie up something on the baitcaster. But I just wanna get in the water before these boys start smoking them. You already know, we got that weak bait. Rockin' and rollin', baby. See what we can do with this thing. Oh, where was that blow up? Oh, that's a fish. 100%. Whoa! I knew it. I knew it. Get in here, baby. Get in here, baby. Second cast on the weak bait. You already know what's up. Let's go. Let's go. We're gonna go get this fish weighed real quick. But we're on the board. One four. One four. We'll take it. We'll take it. Ow, he's biting me. Don't, no biting. No biting. Let's get this fish back in the water. Thank you, buddy. Okay. Let's give this a fling down the bank. Oh, we're on. Oh no. Oh no. Oh, it seems like the fish are poppin' off here, guys. You better catch up, Noah. That $500 budget ain't gonna catch a fish itself. I don't know where Connor had that bite, but we're just gonna go right over here. It sounds like they're biting good in this pond. Oh! Mistake on my part. I got bit right away, you got it. Oh dude, we're on, we're on. It's a nice one. Right away. Oh, he came off. He came off. I'm gonna lose my mind, dude. That was a dang three pounder. Definitely bigger than the one Connor's going away. No! Dude, I can't believe that, man. I had a pretty nice one on. I haven't been spending around a minute. Yeah, it's like a three pounder. It's such a good bite, too, man. By the way, guys, like I said earlier, if you wanna check out the kick in their bass TVX lose combos, check them out, kickinthebass.com. This rod is glistening in the sun right now. Oh, dude, that's a nice one. Look at this one, bro. Straight destroyed it. Oh my gosh. Oh, dude, it's a big one. Look at the mouth on this puppy, bro. Look at the mouth on this puppy. Straight choked it, bro. Look at that one. See, that's a three pounder all day. And he just has it in the back of his dang throat. How big was Connor's? Oh, let's go. We're on. We're on. It's a good one. It's a good one. Get on in here, son. Get on in here. Boom by the beam. Boom by the beam. I don't know if this is bigger than Noah's or not. I didn't get a good look at his before he darted off to the cart. We're gonna run over here to throw her on the scale. Cause I need to at least weigh one in here, guys. Got the scale. Look at these fish, bro. Oh, it's gonna be close. Connor, what's yours way? One four. One four. Let's see what the damage is. Two pounds, five ounces. We on the board, boys. Two pounds, five ounces. Two pounds, five ounces. We'll see what you get. Let's clear it out. See what we got, boys. I think we can beat that. Yes. Yes. Two pounds, eight ounces. Yes, sir. All right, boys. Let's get this fish back in the water. Actually, I need my rod. And the plush. Heck yeah, boys. That's a good start. I don't know how big Connor's was. I forgot to ask him. Pretty sure this fish is bigger than his. All right, baby. Thank you for biting, man. Oh, that made the weirdest sound. That's it right there. That's it, that's it. Ah! Got another one? Beep, beep! Oh, okay. Oh my gosh. That fish just annihilated this thing. Dude, they're on fire. We've never seen him this crazy. Might be just the timing, you know? Sun going down. Sun's coming down. The fish are firing up. No, I think you, I think you stuck some tungsten weights down that fish's gullet before you weighed it. You were fumbling around over there awfully long. That's all I had to say. Hey, man, yours was longer, but it didn't have the girthy. She didn't have the girthy. Dude, I could beam this popper on this thing. Slinging. Good thing I lost that other three pounder, because that means he's probably not going to bite y'all's baits, you know? Uh-oh. We're in the snake territory over here. And we caught that whole tree. It's at least 30 pounds. Hey Connor, adult fish for squirrels, dude. All right guys, we're going to put down the popper for just a moment, and we're going to go tie on possibly a patroller on the crush. I think a patroller could just mash it right now. And neither of them boys have thrown it. Maybe show these fish something different. All right, got our crush. Tie this puppy on dang the poppin' piccolo boys or the duck. Those would be some killer options. I don't know, I'm just fillin' the patroller. This thing seems like the sauce right now. I feel like we're going to catch a big one on it. Boys, look at this Connor, look at that. Oh, that feels like a nice, oh yeah, that's a nice one. I don't know if he's going to beat mine. It's going to be close. Ah yeah, he won't beat it. That's a good one though, that's probably a two five. We had a two eight, I'm assuming he's a little, he's definitely a little smaller, definitely thick. But he crushed that dang patroller boys. He cranked that puppy. Thank you for biting, gee. There we go, what a frickin' bite man. First cast on that bank, but I had my reel come off if he was twerking down on me so good. That's a good two and a half pounder, but or close to two and a half pounds. I don't think he's the biggest I want to caught. All right guys, oh, oh dude. So guys, we're about to move ponds. In next cast, I just get hammered. Maybe we should stay here. But I think we're about to move locations and go somewhere else. Here we go. Banks definitely loaded. Dude, he literally went full blown out of the water for his bro. Oh my gosh. Dude, they're hammering this thing. Oh, the patroller's redonkulous, bro. That is not a big one, but he literally went full airborne. What you doing, dude? I'm just, I'm not taking any of this. What are you doing? Oh, you're about to get cranked. You know, good to see you, dude. You're about to get cranked. I know it's been a minute. I don't know how I feel about you taking a spot, man. Sometimes you gotta just take what you need, you know? Okay, thank you, buddy. All right guys, I'm gonna throw like maybe one more cast and then we're probably just gonna keep moving ponds. Try to hit as many places as we can. I think Fletcher's definitely ready to go. He is not liking us catching fish right now. He's like, he said, we gotta go. All right guys, I don't know about y'all, but I've about had it with this pond. I'm thinking it's only, you know, the smart move to move ponds and I'm gonna hop in this golf cart and head that way. And I'm gonna offer the boys an opportunity to get in the golf cart if they want to come to the next pond. If they wanna stay, they can stay. There we go. Let's keep a move on. All right boys, give me the option to come to the 10 pounder pond. You can either accept or deny. Okay, I will happily take your Uber ride. Okay, this pond was insane though. I'm not gonna lie, that was fun, but let's go take our little quick Uber onto the next spot. Let's get it. Uber for Noah? It's gonna cost each of y'all one lure. One lure for the ride. Actually, one lure for the ride. That's fair. Let me see what I got here. One more ride, boys. Okay, here you go. That's a pretty good one. You know, sometimes you gotta put a little work in to make some more money. These Ubers are getting expensive nowadays, so I'm actually gonna give Fletcher my most expensive bait. Oh, ooh, okay. Fletcher, I hope you enjoy it, man. Thank you. How are you feeling? Dude, spirits are up right now. We're in second place by three ounces, but you know, we put in the overtime work. You know, we had to get some tips from the boys, offer our services as an Uber driver to the next pond, and we acquired a frog and we acquired a $50 tip from my man. Very generous. The legend. You know, like on Ubers where we could stop, can we get a McDonald's or something fair, some more on here? Yeah, I'm actually getting hungry for that. I mean, that's gonna cost a ride at least. By the way, if you guys wanna see a McDonald's fast food fishing challenge, let us know down below. We might have to put the McNuggies to work. All right, guys. We're going with the patroller again. If we're feeling crazy, we might just tie on one another bait or two, go back to the popper. We pretty much have a ton of options that we can do other than my regular frog that I gave the fletcher. Maybe the poppin' pickle, man. Water clarity is ridiculous right now. It's so dirty in here. This is usually a very clear pond. All right, we're gonna go mess with fletcher. He's on the juice spot, man. I don't know if he knows what he's doing, so we're gonna try to hit the patroller action right next to fletcher. I just thought you might need some help out over here, man. No, I'm doing this. You sure? You can go help out Conor over here. You sure you don't need help? Is that a gator? Oh my God, that's a fat gator. Yeah, he is. It's like this water dirtying up. He's either gonna make him bite really good because they can't see us or they just won't bite at all. All right, Uber. All right. We're just gonna do a quick little spin around the pond here. There you go. He freaking destroyed it. Oh, he freaking destroyed it. That's a good one too, boys. I don't think he's gonna beat mine, but he totally went completely airborne. Oh no. Oh no. Okay. I got him under. That's why he felt so dang big, but you didn't bite one, man. Just freaking fat. Thank you, buddy. You are the chunkiest little brute. Well, there's our, I believe, first fish. I don't think the boys have caught anymore. Definitely not gonna cut the two eight. Not even close. That was probably a two pounder and a one pounder body if he's even two pounds. Still a decent fish. He was fat. Okay. Well, the fish will bite in here. That's what I was worried about. I'm like this. Freaking water is so stained. I just didn't know if we'd get any bites, but that fish literally went airborne after this top water. You about ready, boys? Let's get it. Uber, Fletch, come get, come get. You know what? I'll be a good boy today. I'll just walk to the Uber. Can't afford to give up another bait. Fletcher, I beat you to the Uber, so I think I'm the Uber driver now. Are you the driver now? I think I just might be the driver. Do I have to pay a fee? You do have to pay a fee. All right. Well, since I got my sexy dog tied on, I'm going to keep that on. And I think I'm going to pay you with a frog. Frog. So you paid me back. We're even now. We're even. I like that. All right, Connor. You got to pay a fee. You got to pay a fee, boy. I've never even met you guys before. What's going on here? Huh? Exactly. And you got to pay us. There's no free rides. So cough it up, dude. Cough it up. Okay. What else you got? Yeah, just give me one sec. That was my fee. I just burned some calories for you. Where's the bills, bro? Or where's the lures? We only hustle around here, man. Actually, I have cash at the other pond. We can eat a treat. Hold on, hold on, hold on. There ain't no trades out here. Hold on, hold on, boy. I kind of want that wake bait. Kind of want that wake bait. Let me see. I got to look at something in my trunk. Let me see that wake bait. That's a fair trade. I don't know if I just robbed you or you paid me. But I like it either way. I just got a new wake bait. All right, Fletch. You get to decide. Next pond. Next pond. Let me pull out the maps. We're going to have to make a decision here. See, I'm the Uber driver. Like, I don't pick the directions, you know? You got to supply me with the location. Yeah, okay. That's fair. That's fair. Let me give you a drop off point here. Can we hit McDonald's? Matter of fact, I'm the Uber driver. We're hitting McDonald's. Do I have double cheese? Hooters. I'm down for some Hooters wings, man. Hold on. Oh, I got to pull up my Uber app here. All right, now I think this is the pond. We're going to go ahead and select this location. Add stop. Okay. Are we good to go? Time to go. Let's rock and roll. Finally, these boys paid and picked the location. So we good. It's my first time Uber and boys. Sorry. Oh, God. Oh, man. I'm sorry, boys. I mean, it's my first time driving. Sorry. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Easy. Can we go this way? You got to go left. Whoa, whoa, God, dude. Half star. Bro, easy. Come on. No, kind of bad. Come on. You know, sorry, dude. Yeah, I'm going to need that frog bag. No, I'll pay. I'll give you back the tip. I'm going to need that frog bag. Come on, Lee, dude. That broke a hip. All right. Thanks for the ride, Noah. Yes, sir. Even though you threw me out of the golf cart, I appreciate it. Hey, I'm still leading, boys. You're still leading. I have to do something here. You know, I would be leading, but unfortunately, Noah took away my secret weapon of a beat. We got the old patroller on there, dude. He's been using his brain today, hasn't he? He was like, let me buy the rod first. And now you tie it on while we're driving. Let's see what we can do. Oh, wait. That's a gator? Oh, why you got to ruin it for me? I might put him on a leash and take him for a walk. I think it's time for a game switch here. Or I don't know, what am I trying to say? It's time to change the game plan. That's what I was looking for. We're going to cut this off. We acquired some new stuff through UberDriving. Let me go ahead and get this frog tied on. I think we're going to go frogging. We got our frog. We got our rod. So we're going to go ahead and venture on over to the far side of this pond. All right, boys. We don't have much more time. I kind of want to use some other baits out of our budget. So I'm going to actually break out the pop and pickle, man. Nobody's caught one on a frog yet. Or do you fucking just tie on a frog? I think he possibly did. Who cares, man? I want to throw a dang frog right now. Right now. Pop and pickle. You guys know definitely my favorite bait of all time. So let's go ahead and tie this up. And I think we can get a big one on it. Hopefully not that gator. That gator is furious. Noah's actually golfing right now. He's got a pretty big lead on us. So he's just going to the range to hit some balls. So maybe being Fletcher can catch back up. Connor's sprinting over there. Look at him. Look at him do this thing. All right, Connor. I'm going to let you have that spot right there. That spot to actually fire. I'm not going to lie. Okay. Thank you, Fletcher. I appreciate it. This black color should do the trick for us. Should that sun going down a little. Oh, and it did. It did. Oh, come on. Oh, I knew it. He's running right at me, but he's tiny. Oh man. Oh, dude. Oh, first cast on the frog, man. Oh my gosh. Dude, let's go. Look at him choke that thing. Connor, I'll give you some payback, dude. You walked up on me earlier. I was like, I want to come see what's going on with Connor. And that bass just choked that pickle. Dude, that gator, I ain't gonna lie, man. He's big and he is mean. There we go. Gosh, that was pretty crazy. We need a lot. Dude, that gator, look at his wake coming over here. That was pretty crazy, guys. I cut that thing, popping pickle fish right out of that tree. We have a couple more casts and we're gonna have to run from this gator again. Oh, dude. Next cast. I've only thrown two casts with the pickle guys. Connor, the gator's coming. Oh, he's fast, dude. I didn't even get to throw a cast down that bank right there. Oh my gosh. The gator's coming to check us out. Dude, look at this thing, bro. I'm painting where to go because I do not want to mess with him. We just need to secure a two pound, nine ounce large mouth and we'll be in the lead. Okay. We need to set our drag way up. We got a noodle. Maybe I shouldn't have gone with the frog. Maybe that was a bad move. It's supposed to be very mossy over here and there's like no grass, moss or anything right now which is why I chose the frog and right now I'm regretting it. Oh, yes. Just getting, just getting, not regretting, regretting. We lost them because we're trying to hook set with the noodle. They end in life, guys. That's gotta be one. It was fish. It was fish, but we missed them. Gosh, diggity dang. What are y'all doing over there? What are y'all doing over there? We are hiding from a gator. He is ferocious. All right, guys. We don't have much daylight left. We're going to make what we can count. I want to get a big one on this pickle. I know if I am to get a big one on anything today, it would either be that patroller or the pickle. Heck, the Poppers got the biggest one though and it has proven to work for some big ones. I mean, Terracotta PV last week. That's why I would like to catch my PV on the pickle preferably. Oh my gosh. Another bite on the pickle. Completely missed them. Here we go. That was right where Fletcher was at. He's going to be so mad if I catch this fish. Dude, I was just letting that thing sit and he just swamped it. No way, bro. He took off every little hair of my thing except for that. He's probably not going to bite again. He's got all that plastic in his mouth. How the heck did he get every, I've never, I have thrown plenty of poppin' pickles guys or poppin' purses, whatever you want to call it. And I have yet to have one, like literally disparate new out of the package and have almost every leg bit off this. Pretty impressive. That thing razor blade, dude. Definitely not a gator. I would have saw him. Some slop back here. So I got to kind of be careful where I'm throwing this patroller here. But man. Oh my gosh. Come on. Little better one. He's not two. Oh my gosh. We're getting so close. Dude, that was such a good cast. Guys, I don't know about this pond, man. I really don't. We haven't really seen any big ones. I'm going to keep on walking down though. What are you doing? Stop it. I had to sprint back to the golf cart to get some pliers to get this fish off. But we're going to get him back in the water. Think we got to throw over here for good measure just since that gator's gone. I mean, this thing should get smacked. He missed it. He missed it. I wasn't looking. I wasn't paying attention at all. The boys are not catching any big fish here. So I am actually stealing the golf cart. You want to hop on? They're going to have to pay a fee. All right. We've got an expensive fee today. You guys, you guys need a ride or something? Yeah, we're looking for a ride. What are you guys going to pay me with? I got a good deal. What do you got? You're going to give me the crush? The whole rod. Okay. All right, that's fair. All right. I'll take it. He has no more money. No, no, no. I want Fletcher's too. No, no, no, no. Connor. Come on, buddy. Hop in. I don't like, you know, I don't like handouts. We're going to, we're going to pay you with the walking bait, the sexy dog. Okay. Okay. I like it. Remember what I said? That's the sound of the victory. How are you feeling about this? Do you think you can, uh... Oh, there's a tree! Come on! Go! I have a rally car driving. You guys are in good hands. Oh, dude, this is going to be... I should have gave away my frog, bro. So Fletcher, what are you thinking? I got a 2.8. Can you beat it? Oh, yeah. We're about to rip out a tree. I'm not going to lie. This is the pond to do it at. Juice. Just about to get it done. And I just gave away my frog, bro. What do you think? What do you think is about to happen? I think I'm feeling pretty good about the, uh, the old trade now. Let's see if we can do some damage to this tree. You're going to end up winning the challenge now, aren't you? All right, guys. So we have just our cake and combo. We're just going to have to go with the popper. Yes! Yes! Yes! Right out the gate. Right out the gate. She's a contender. She is a contender. Oh, that's a stupid one, dude. What just happened? Sorry, bud. Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax. Okay, thanks. She got probably about an ounce of dirt on there. We'll take it. That's where I don't think she's going to go, but we can't leave it up to chance. Two pounds, three ounces. Not going to do it. Noah's still got the lead. I know. She's so thick. Thanks, baby. All right, guys. Three minutes, boys, on the timer. Three minutes. Three minutes. All right, boys. We can always widen the gap. We can always upgrade. We can always upgrade. Big fish came on the popper. I'm feeling pretty good about it. Might be able to snag us up another big one. I think we need to be patient. Work this thing pretty slow. We got to dodge all this grass. So it's just ridiculous how much slop's in the water right now. Come on, Fletch. I want to see it. I want to see the 50 budget make it come back. Dude, I'm trying to edit show dangerous. Dude, the slop is horrible. I am literally dodging all the slop. All right, we're running out of time. I'm going back to where I had that big bite at. Will the boys catch up? I'm not sure. We happen to get off to a good start on the big fish. Oh, boy. OK, OK, hold on. Slow down. Work your cast in, boys. You're working every centimeter of that cast. Dude, just imagine. Come on. Keep on working that around there, Connor. We're getting somewhere. Oh, God. I thought I got a hammer. All right, boys. Good challenge. That was a fun one. That was a good one.
