 What's going on guys welcome to another video if you guys are wondering I'm in the hotel gym if you guys are wondering why I'm in The hotel gym because there's really not too many areas of film. I'm sorry Yeah, I can turn this off hopefully hotel don't sue me on Yeah, that's perfect. I just don't want to sound to be crazy So if you guys are wondering why I'm actually in the hotel gym because there is nowhere to actually film That's a decent outside is so loud. We're like in the middle of the city It is just super bad. So for today's video guys, it is super late at night It's actually late when I'm filming this you guys are watching this literally an hour after I film this so I would like to Say thank you guys for clicking on this video, you know, right when I upload this thing and if you guys are watching it tomorrow This is just a little update video on what went down today on day number one of FLW College Fishing national championship on the Red River in Louisiana, so Today honestly went fairly well. I'm not gonna say it went good It did because it didn't go amazing But it wasn't bad, you know, it was a moderate day and it was a little less than I was expecting You know, I really wanted to eight to ten pound range I have not made a video on the Red River yet where we're actually fishing. It's a super tough fisher I'm gonna be honest with you guys. This is the toughest lake I've ever fished For many of reasons, I'm gonna make a video on the Red River like talking about it because there's a lot and then the reason Why the fish are so small the reason why they're so hard to catch Reason why there's just not as many bass and it's just hard to get in the bite in general I'm gonna make a video over that and explain myself because guys this place is rough. It's a really rough Fishery so pretty much I have some crazy stories for today that I can tell you guys So if you guys are wondering We had about seven pounds today And guess what that with four fish we could not complete. We did not get our fifth fish It's we worked our butts off for that. We had like a limit. We have a limit We had four fish by like ten o'clock or is like 945 we had four fish and just could not execute on one more fish The rest of the day didn't really miss any fish, you know, we fish fairly clean caught a lot of drum And they really tricked us, you know, I really thought we had a big bass on most of the time but We we executed on all the opportunities we had I believe Sean lost the fish, but I believe it was a drum. I don't think it was a bass I don't know if I lost any fish. I did catch a lot of drum No, Sean cut a lot of drum and I'm gonna be posting updates because I have another video coming out Friday It's probably gonna be over the day to update So I just want to talk about what went down today and obviously I'm not gonna spill all the information on what we're doing Just because this is the middle of the tournament. I am uploading this the day That this took place Because day two is tomorrow and we have to bust a big bag tomorrow. So how this works is day one was today Day two is tomorrow and day three is Friday. The only way you can fish day three is if you're in top ten So we are three and a half pounds out of top ten So it's not like it's a fall like we're far from that 14 pounds is leading and then I believe it drops at 13 and then there's like a 12 pound bag and We're just few pounds out of top 10 like it can happen, but we have to get those big bites That's that is literally the only thing we have to get those big bites and we can't you know miss any fish We can't miss any opportunities. We're not to grind it out We're gonna have to make it happen We're gonna put this fish in the boat and we have to have five more like we have to have five unless We just catch a mega bag and once we catch all five pounders We're gonna have to put them all in the boat like we can't play no games and we really need to shoot for I'd say a Minimal ten pounds. I don't even know if that will probably not get us in the top ten Who knows it might I'd say 11 11 and a half would probably get us in top ten if people choke But I can't judge that you know tomorrow's a whole new day You know, I don't know if these people are gonna be consistent I don't even know we're gonna be consistent. So it's one of those deals in this lake is just so rough So I believe you know ideally minimal. I would love to get 10 pounds, which is honestly a really good bag on this lake I know that sounds crazy, but that is a very good bag on this lake 12 pounds would be amazing and I would really like 14 pounds, which is what's leading today. So that's really shooting high But I totally believe it's possible. It's just about finding this big fish And we have yet to catch a fish over two and a half pounds or two and three quarters here So that's that's the only hard part. I have lost officials about three pounds in practice But our two is probably two and a half, but two and three quarters rather than that. I haven't really seen any big fish I haven't seen like any fours any like three and a half's any of that But we're gonna we're gonna grind out tomorrow guys this key story I do want to talk about today because it's pretty interesting. I'm just gonna say this We're locking in to another pool on the river, which I'm gonna explain to more videos about the Red River so we're locking Through the dam and to another side of the river If you guys don't know what that that means I know it's gonna probably be confusing for a lot of you guys We have the dam and then you lock through So what the lock is is you pull your boat in it has a door on each side that closes the water fills up And then you go into the other side or the water goes down to go vice versa Well, we were locking back to head back to the ramp today because we were going to win and We tied up to these guys from UGA really cool dudes. We're talking to them and So the water started to raise so is it gonna raise about rise raise raise rise about 15 foot So as the water is coming up the gates close the water is coming up they're tied to this hydraulic I Honestly don't even know if you call it guys. I've never locked before until I came here But what happens is you tie this little thing and it goes up with the water Well, there's a big old wall and when the wall there's these little cubby holes I don't know what they're for but there's these little cubby holes But I'd say it's about you know four foot wide and it's about three foot deep Well Those cubby holes don't move. It's just part of the wall. It's part of the lock Well, these guys they had their boat tied up to this thing and we were tied to them and With all the current in there it started to shift their boat So their boat kind of started pointing towards the wall as the water is coming up Well in that cubby hole the front of their boat actually pointed into the cubby hole But it actually went in it like they we were talking to them. They weren't paying attention. We weren't paying attention like We're just like doing our thing. Well one of them when they noticed it They're like hey push push the boat off. Well, what was happening was when this water goes up guys It goes up by the foot. I mean the gallons of water skin poured in so it's like coming up Well, it like came up in a heart I mean like a heartbeat you're talking two or three seconds It shot up when it shot up the guys boat because the point of it was in that cubby hole And we're the water's filling up that cubby hole don't move. It's just it's a rock wall and he's already tied to this thing When it shot up his boat got stuck in the cubby hole and it went And so it's already like this his motor is almost out of the water his whole front of his boats locked into this cubby hole and at that point in time I literally thought that these guys were I hate to say it. I really thought these guys were gonna sink the boat a hundred percent or you know even worse they could End up sinking their boat and they could fall into you know the lock and they could get sucked under walk Like this could have led to Some tragic things so like this is very serious like this is it happened so quick it happened in the matter of seconds What happened was the water came up Whole half the boat flooded right away Hold back the boat the prop was barely in the water like I would say halfway and the guy by the driver She was like not knowing what to do and like Instantly like I thought you know crank up the motor Throw that thing in reverse and forward as hard as you can cuz I mean you're going by seconds here Like this is like literally two seconds later like their boat probably would have been something I'm not kidding. I'm not over exaggerating this like I saw this if I had this on GoPro It would have been insane because I was like two foot away from them. I was actually tied up to their boat So he throws it in reverse ramps that thing It shoots out from under it and the boat just floats back up and all this water just pours inside rips the trolling motor like I mean cracks it like when the water went up and he got stuck in that and it shifted the boat like this All you hear just like you could hear the trolling motor literally cracking or it was the front of his bow I don't know what it was, but it all cracked. Well, when that happened when he shot out Like you're supposed to be tied when the lot when the water's filling up because all of this current and all this water moving So literally I told Sean to throw the ropes so Sean threw the rope back in their boat And I had to back up and I was just kind of like Moving around in the lock why all these guys are all tied up You know, I was moving around in the lock kind of freely while this current's pushing me around because because of that whole situation Which was scary like that was probably I'm not gonna lie This is probably one of the top five scariest things that I've ever seen happen with my own two eyes like in front of me Probably top three like I literally thought that I don't like to say it But I literally thought they could I mean they could have died like it was scary And I talked to a few of my buddies that were actually there in the block like when it happened they saw it from a distance and Like they they were saying like my hair is standing up on my back Like it was just crazy like yeah, I can't visually explain it unless you see it And then unless you really know what locking in and going into a lock actually is But geez guys, I'm telling you they were literally probably about two seconds away from sinking their boat And if they sank their boat, you know, they could have you know felt Obviously fell in the water and it could have sucked them underneath because you know The whole thing with it flooding up in the water and all the current I mean there it could have been a lot of bad things that could have happened I really wasn't even concerned about the boat. I was concerned about them I was really getting to the point where I was about telling them to hop on my boat because I was like screw the boat Like who cares about the boat at this point like you guys are about to drown like this boat is gonna go down And I really thought it was gonna happen But it was just a matter of milliseconds that saved it and somehow they got the boat out there yet destroyed a little bit But Jesus guys that that was the highlight of the day That was insane, and I totally wish I had that thing on GoPro If I don't go pro you guys would probably be biting like your teeth like I can't I trust me guys I can't explain it is just a weird crazy feeling, but that was pretty much day one guys So we're sitting pretty solid right now. We need a good bag tomorrow to make top 10 I mean we really need a good bag Overall, I would love to make a top 20, but I really want to make a top 10 Heck I really want to win this thing and for us to win it We're gonna have to bust two big old 15 pound bags So I don't know if that's gonna happen, but we're gonna go out there.
