You guess so it's been a long day Brad Brad's been in class. So we're gonna go ahead and get this started We're gonna be chucking around the top order a good bit and if they're not wanting to come up for that I won't be throwing that swim bait So let's go ahead and get started get on our first spot and hopefully just catch some mega spots today guys I'm excited about it hit that freaking like button. It's gonna be an amazing episode and we're about to kill it I already see bait on fish chasing bait. Holy smokes On my side scan Right to our right about 15 foot to our right. We got some two toes That's our left boy. My bad wrong side guys Huh No subtle by boy, they're gonna eat it you go You might you might see a five-pound spot go airborne. Oh Right there. You see that? Oh Oh, oh Brad oh Why are you moving yours? How do you miss it? He missed it like three times Well the first spot already got some top order It's a good little son. That was actually you see that last bite. That was about a three and a half pounder I'll take a three and a half Just hit me again. Yeah, they're not like coming out for it. I Cannot believe that fish didn't commit right there. I thought we better have one right away I'm like all right. So me and Bradley are on a tight time crunch today. He's got to get back to class He's got to drive an hour and a half back to school and I got to actually edit this video for you guys tonight So I'm gonna be leaving when he's leaving plus I got to drive him back to his car. So We we got a few hours to work today. So We are pretty much going to be covering some water really fast today We already fish this spot longer than I want to fish it. Hey, sir. Yeah, I'm fishing way too long Let's go ahead and go We're gonna try to just like real quick and then we'll go to this next spot I'm praying that they're gonna be on this spot. I don't see one bet they eat this This spot would be good for this person Little win that there's got all that bait on the sides. Oh Bradley you gotta calm down. I was about a five pound And you gotta let You got a lot of meat never witness anything you got a lot of meat Don't don't stop walking it until you till they actually Till they actually got it. Trust me. I'm probably gonna do it on my first couple too. That was about a five pounder When I glance back, I saw half of his tail out We sneezed the monkey offer by this where Quavo caught his catfish Where they just want that swim bait Why did he not eat it tell me why he didn't eat it They should eat the crumb today, but when they when they're missing it like that the rule and thumb is to switch your color, but Like that fish should have ate it. I mean that fish went airborne What is going on dude? All right guys? I've had so many bites and they're just not committing. I mean we've had around 10 bites today and they're just not Eating it correctly. I'm gonna try something totally different So this is the bait. This is actually a saltwater bait huge wait till you see how I'm gonna work this So the plan with this we haven't really seen any schooling action We've seen a couple fish come up, but we haven't seen anything crazy Just fish coming up and hitting our baits for the most part and fish boiling and on some baitfish We haven't seen really any like hardcore schooling action. So I like to fish this when somebody's with me I don't usually catch a ton of fish on it just because it's obnoxious What you're gonna see in a second that this bait is great for calling up the fish to the top of the water column And firing them up. I'm gonna throw it in there and create a bunch of an obnoxious noise In hopes of calling those fish up to my bait You want to see how I throw this? Watch watch your rod just like that Hammered me right there Hammered me right there guys my GoPro just messed up, but first cast on this spot I got hammered and Bradley's like you didn't get hammered. There's a dang fluke in there I was like your rods don't get taken out of your hand and Sure enough. I mean Really, I saw your line All right, Bradley, I'm gonna do it dude. I don't think there's I think that tells us everything All right, so we're gonna switch up to this fluke They're just not eating the swim bait in top order We're gonna put a fluke on Bradley has a pearl white on and then I have this one called Glimmer blue It's not the disco, but we're gonna put this fluke on hopefully just start smacking them We got to adjust and we were really one. We're really stubborn on that swim bait top order bite Just because I mean that's that's prime content guys I think I could have caught him Yeah, oh My god, dude Throw that fluke in there There's a lot of fish here. Oh, yes, Brad. Oh, it's a biggin. It's a biggin, dude You want me to get that net for you? Yeah, it's gonna be safe Good job, Brad Good job, Brad. Oh, yeah, it's a good little one. That's a monkey off guys. It's about two two and a half pounder That's a good one. Is there a fatty, Brad? We got the monkey off. Good job This was a gut instinct to come here, dude. I'll turn to your last second. All right guys Just call this spot right here I'm doing a quarter. I'd say shouldn't there stomach me. Look at the look Slabs on the top water. I'm excited. Maybe we'll get a couple more Put this one in the well. We're gonna keep our vests for today or four or five We can come upward. That's a fatty man. Good job. Finally got it. We after like what how many bites on that top water? 10 15 these fish are everywhere. We've had a lot of bites here. So let's uh, let's keep fishing. Get back in there I'm waiting on it. I know it's gonna happen today. I got about two and a half hours to make it happen We'll know what make it happen. Got him He's on there. What are you doing? He hit me twice and didn't eat it. They even move it No, he's on that He's tiny he's fat though. No one's hooked up on a don't know a spot Look at that boys first fish today for me says to fish over all he hit that thing like three different times If I had to guess there's probably Multiple fish, but look at that. Uh, this is the one thing that I love about the spots guys Look how beautiful those fish are. I mean look at the markings on them. They're just pretty fish Fat belly even on that small fish one thing to think about about the spots I want you to show that to him. See that Mm-hmm spot on his tongue and have you ever felt that no feel that brother. Oh See doesn't it feel like a tooth? Yeah, it's like a it feels the same as their lip It's like sandpaper. It's the best way to describe it. That's a pretty little spot. Nothing big on that fluke Look at his fat little belly beautiful markings. You want to get him back and get him back in the water Look at that belly on that thing man. That's why I love fall-efficient catching that fat. You can't beat it But let's go ahead and get back in there Thank the lord first cast on this spot Think it's a good one too. Oh, there's one behind you behind you. Oh, dude. You reeled it away from one I don't want to net. Oh, that's a good one That's a good one. That's three pounder. You actually had one behind when you were reeling it in there's a fish Literally right behind your flute. That's a good one. It's a good spot. Look at that boys Show them that fish These saltwater hooks They don't play around that right there guys and the ones that we want That's almost a three pound spot right there. Look how fat his belly is. They've been eating bait We just hit this one spot by the main lake. Look how small these mouths are on the spot It's so weird. I haven't been spot fishing in a while The beautiful spot right there on that big chug bug that saltwater bait I was talking about calling those fish up first cast out there ripping it Started hitting it Bradley started reeling in his fluke to grab the camera And there was literally a bass right behind it. It wasn't big but it was about to eat his fluke, which is crazy So we're gonna go ahead and throw him in the libel real quick because we might get a cool picture We're gonna get back in here. See if we can catch some more. You got a heads up penny just sitting right there Literally there's a heads up penny just chilling. Oh, thank the lord, man. Let's go guys Just pulled up on this spot. I was just thinking to myself. I said, I'm gonna try it We're right next to it Sure enough first cast slamming that chug bug and the bite's been so slow. It's like We did have that morning bite, but they weren't committing We got into the afternoon right here The bite just cut off completely the fluke bite everything cut off We pulled up to this spot and it's good and that boat going through right there. Remember how we talked about it That's gonna help and uh, what I mean by that It's gonna stir up the bait fish That boat's not really running but then again that water could move up a little bit I cannot believe there's a fish behind your fluke dude. That just I was unfortunate I might need to throw them flukes out there. I don't know if they Oh, let's go brad. Let's go brad. You need the net or you're good Let's go brad. He ain't fighting at all. Is he? Hey little guy Oh, it's a largemouth. Yo, get him in here Dude, I can't believe you just got a largemouth That's insane, bro. I can see you got a largey in 30 foot of water on the top water But that's crazy, brad got you a largey You okay, maybe careful All right, we're gonna throw that fluke out there See if we can get us another one, man I'd love to catch more than two fish on this one spot. That'd be awesome We might let it sit for a second. Go try a couple more though. You don't have much time All right, I got it. You got her. I got it. Let me see you got you a dang large I can't believe it. All right guys, no one said he's only caught like five of these That's crazy, bro. I got me a largey That was awesome. I want to throw him back You ate that top water. It's her There you go, brad not what you come to linear for but you're on the track brad's on the track Brad, we're gonna we're gonna stay here for another three minutes max and if they're not But then again, they got just blew through look at this Perfect. You got that water pushing up in here You might fire these fish back up Every hook was stuck in that fish It was kind of dangerous. He barely hit it too. I know. Oh, dude, that's a huge spot. Did you see him come out of the water? Throw in there brad. I stuck him barely. I don't know if he's on bite it Oh, dude, that was about a four pounder brad Did you see him come out of the water? Yeah, that was about a four pound spot Dude, there are stacks here, man Dude, I paused it. Are you kidding me? Is there one on you? Dude, I paused it guys to shut off the camera and I and I turned it back on and he ate it We're on him now This happening this spot is heating up and I think it's because all these boats going by right here I really do. Was there one behind you really? This fish is mean boys That was a mean one. Look at that Right there Got us an old spot of Potamus. We've had better luck on this spot than we've had all day The fish seem to be committing right here, which is awesome. They're eating this chuck. Look at that brad. I thought you said one Little small fish for that chug bug, ain't it? You hit you? Dude, what in the world? There's a lot of fish here guys. We might have a good time Look at that fat tummy about a pound and a half spot. Beautiful. Let's get her back in All I got to say guys is wow man. It's been a tough day Pulled up on this spot and the fish were just munching man. They're just munching We had all this boat traffic going by pushing all the bait fish in here and we've been catching them right now I'm hoping we're gonna catch a couple more before we leave today But man, what a good time. That's why you never give up. That's why you keep on fishing no matter What happens? Me and Bradley thought that we were going in today with a with a rough one I'm not gonna lie. We thought we were going in. I was like, I can't believe it man Came back to my home body of water was having a rough time More importantly, I mean the fishes weren't eating our baits We had a ton of bites all the spots that we hit had fish on them They were just not committing even on the flu queer missing a ton of fish, which was just awkward Yeah, it was just it was weird and we kept her positivity high kept trying out some new stuff We came in here Brad remember when we came in here were like we it could still happen We literally said that before we hit that spot before this one and it ended up happening So it's the best feeling in the world. Why is that got that big bass energy, man? So go copy yourself a big bass energy hat down below. Let's keep on fishing. Let's see if we're gonna catch some more Thank you guys so much for the support. Let's make it happen. We're just fishing this little hump right here guys and The difference between this spot and a lot of spots that we fished today Is this spot's got a lot of moving water pushing in there And that's a key player for these bait fish and to turn these fish on and the bait that i'm throwing Is going to fire these fish up. It's got it's very aggressive if I throw it right here You guys can tell look how much water this thing's kicking out This is a salt water lure if you guys didn't know that i'm fishing for spotted bass for It's calling those big girls up. I had a four pounder roll on in a second ago I literally shut off my camera. I was clicking the button I wasn't even moving my bait and that fish came up and ate it I might tell us something too these fish might be a A tad bit slower than we think So I might need to slow slow the poppiness down on this but these fish keep on Feeding right here, which you don't see too often But the reason being is because all all this water being pushed. There's all these yachts going by behind us and I Pushing all this water in here at stirring up the bait fish This bass are active feeding on these herring. They seem to keep biting So we're gonna throw here another five minutes each fish will add five minutes on to it if they're gonna keep biting But if they're not biting, we're gonna move to another spot We'll come back here and see if it's replenished And I keep trying to catch these big fish because there's some big ones out here Like I said, I had that four pounder blow up and then we caught that one that was about three pounds earlier. So Let's keep on casting I wasn't even going to hit this spot Bradley The only reason I hit it is because it was right next to that one. You what? What's up? Oh That's no we came off Dude, they're here Brad. They're here That was a big one. Why are the big ones missing it? God I'm not doing different. I'm throwing this honking chug buck Because you notice the water's crazy over here. It's not calm how it's been everywhere else. That was a big fish It's like that. You throw me on a honker chug buck is getting it done. We've had so many bites here Nice. Oh, that's a big one, dude I don't I don't see him, but he feels freaking huge unless I have him hooked weird Even that No, not really You see that? Yeah, I saw it. Look at his belly, bro Some of the fattest fish You'll ever catch and this is the most fun bite You can ever get on and they are smoking this chug buck the cast before I actually had one hammer it I'm not gonna lie, man. I I haven't fished a spot on linear where it just keeps repunishing a little bit in a long time Look at that belly. That's just unnatural Spot opotamus, baby. That's a good fish Small mouth fat belly Beautiful markings. Let's get back in there Let me put him on this side Let's go guys. Let's go. I thought he was big Bradley I think it was the way I had him hooked. I mean he was fat He's not quite three. He's a two number. I don't know if you guys saw that As I was flipping that fish in the boat, he spit up a huge herring These fish are feeding man I don't know what we just did right here We caught it at the right time Through that cast before had a big one come up and then that one just Destroyed it and listen, man. I'm not gonna stop casting They don't keep biting I'm gonna keep giving it to them throwing that fluke is your best bet right now I'm just letting it sink Alright guys, I'm gonna switch off to the fluke for the last few minutes of the day In hopes of getting an absolute head There he is, got him! Began Good call right there. You need the net or are you good? Nice one Is this one? Good job Got one guys There you go You got Brad? Oh yeah First cast on the fluke Guys, this is some of the brush that we were throwing at earlier when we initially first pulled up on this spot We caught about three of the fish off this pile the rest of them were up on this hump Just some to think about that's what we're fishing right there If you come to linear, this is a brush pile fishery. Let me tell you My GoPro is off. You threw a little to the right Brad. Oh, do no! Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad Brad! My bag guys! There's such a big fish Please eat this. Come on. Let's double up right here, Brad. This is it. This is it, Brad We're just not gonna talk about that Did you see that fish dive on this bait? I called him up. That's what it was. You don't see that? Called him up Oh my god! Oh my god! That's a huge one Oh my god! Get the net! Did you see that? Bro, please be a four or five pounder It's not a largey. Are you sure? Bro, this thing is massive.
