 What's going on guys welcome to another video, so we're actually about to go out on my pond in my backyard So today's challenge that I'm gonna be taking as you guys know a few vlogs back I went out there fish out there for like five hours, and I literally just could not I only got one fish And I tried so hard to catch them So today we're gonna try to redeem herself go out there because the fishing is just been rough And it's just the month It's just really rough the hurricane just came through so it's just not doing the best out there The challenge for today is to try to beat what I did last time which I only caught one little fish So I'm hoping I've been going here and actually put a hurt on these fish So I'm actually going to be throwing two different baits today nothing moving I'm gonna be throwing just a standard shaky head with a with a worm on it and also a little drop shot with a little tiny Worm on it so that's what we're gonna be throwing today very slow because these fish are not active once So whatever and we're gonna hope to catch some big one. All right guys got this little drop shot on right now I just saw some activity right here by the bank. I'm not gonna open my gate yet I'm just gonna pitch this right out there. I saw some activity so some something keep coming up to the top of the water right there So I'll be crazy if I just caught one right off the bed That should be a fish right there That should be it There we go. I ain't too bad. Ah He's kind of small Don't even look like a bass, but it is Gosh get on the bank, baby Haven't even been out here long. It's a good sign How did I hook him? Oh? My god, that's why he felt so big look how tiny he is. I Hooked him right here in the gill Look at that. That's hilarious round this outer plate right there Look how tiny that guy is. He actually felt kind of good. That's hilarious. It's good release on it Well, dude So I haven't beat my last time yet because that fish is smaller But that is a good sign and that was right off the bat So let's go through and hopefully catch some more fish. I'm thinking we will I was about to switch from this drop shot To that shaky head, but I think I'm gonna throw this a little bit longer since I just got that bite I was working that bait a little bit slower that time. I Was just kind of dragging it wasn't hopping it at all I do feel a little bit of structure out there It's almost like there's some rocks on the bottom Right out there. I'm dragging it. I kind of feel him See normally with the drop shot, I'd be hopping it like crazy like this I'm just kind of shaking it Kind of just lowering my tip and just going like this and letting that thing kind of bounce But lately with how slowly these fish have been I've just been having to pretty much drag it just like this And when that line is tight on that drop shot when the pressure is on that line that bait is going to want to elevate So it's going to stay up But when you let slack in your line just like I am now that bait flutters down So once I tighten up my line again and start dragging a bait elevates Then when I leave slack it slowly drifts down and that's really what triggers this fish the bite So especially when you're being slowly just slowly drag that bad boy and just let it sink Usually when this fish are shoot, I mean when it's so rough outside. I'm most of the time you should be able to catch them. Oh Oh, we broke me off. Oh My god, I'm pretty I'm pretty positive. That was a gar. I know exactly what that feels like Exactly, let's see if it's like a razor blade It's not like a razor blade though. It sure felt like someone's just gnawing on it. It didn't feel like a bass at all Gosh Well, we're gonna run inside real quick and retie this. I can't believe that Maybe that's a good sign that we're getting bites gosh, I Could have had I remember dimsion on the other day just right there Alrighty, so Got my weight. That's just a cheap Walmart drop show away. That's actually all I've I'm having. That's all I have right now. I don't know. I can't talk. It's a cheap little drop shot weight This is a true car hook. I actually only have one more of each of those so I actually need to pick some more up Some of the hooks I might have in my truck. I haven't really checked yet Gosh, I can't believe I missed that fish I might be re-spooling the spinning rod, but just for a little quick tip right here. This is how you tie a drop shot So you're gonna put the line through the hook make sure the hook is pointing up towards the line I tie a uni knot in specific so I'm gonna make sure my tag ends very long by giving it more leader line right here Once you do that just tie your standard knot Like I said, I prefer a uni knot After that, you're gonna cinch your knot down There's a very important step so you have your tag end right here You're gonna go back through the eyelid What that's gonna do is gonna cause the point of this hook To face straight up So as you can see holding that like that that hook is literally straight parallel with your line That is a very important So when you lift up to hook set that fish It's gonna go right into the top of his mouth and you're not really gonna have a problem I've rarely hooked up with a drop shot. I mean most of the time you can just reel it right into their mouth I had to grab some scissors with these drop shot weights. I'm just gonna standard tie it on I'm not gonna have my leader too long. Maybe a 10 to 11 inches now I'm gonna tie This bad boy on Already so we got this tied on It's actually about a foot long leader. Maybe a little bit longer than that and now Going to just nose hook The type of hooks that I have it's just regular octopus hooks Just gonna nose hook that bait. This one is not weedless If you guys want to know more about drop shots, drop a like on this video Leave a comment below and I can actually make one of the tackle Tuesdays over a drop shot I can show you how to rig it where it's weedless how to rig it where it's not weedless Where you just want to nose hook it and all the key tips about a drop shot But that was just a quick little demonstration on how to tie one now. Let's get out here and catch some more fish Gosh, I hope these fish are turning back on I got that bite about right there. Let's I'm pitch it right in there See if I possibly trigger that thing. I really don't think it was a bass My god Yeah, it is a good one too. Oh my god. He threw my worm There we go first flip in there guys redeeming. Oh My gosh Yes He took my worm, but honestly, I don't care. That was worth it. Oh This is obviously not the guy who broke me off. So there's more fish out here, but pretty fish Look at that guy right there Nothing wrong With that pretty fish right there. I thought he was a lot bigger. I thought he's about three pounds. What is that? That's a piece of grass pretty fish. Let's get a release on it. All right, that drop shot. It's been doing pretty good So far that's crazy. I just flipped in where I got that bite. There might be more He actually just threw up my worm and so before I walk inside and go grab another one How about I just flip the shaky head out here with the speed worm on it and hop it around a little bit right there That is insane guys didn't even move my bait. He just already had it in his mouth. So I'm gonna hop this Off this little shaky head right here Hopefully catch another one because one broke me off a minute ago And I know that's not that one because the hook was not in his mouth That would have been insane if that was the same fish though. Like I said, I truly don't think it was a bass That fish felt pretty good when I hooked said it not gonna lie. I thought he was way bigger than that. Oh My gosh, there's my worm. I know I can get Yeah, here's my worm. I'm gonna throw this drop shot again. I mean I had I had both my bites on this drop shot working in a certain way Three bites matter of fact That was awesome. Oh guys. I actually got off the water because there's getting a little too dark I did I did be my little challenge because I did better than the last time That's all I really wanted to do to be honest with you that fish that I lost That was pretty crazy because I really don't think it was a bass Because I pitched in there and what the way he was biting it Just did not seem like a basses biting it and it just broke right away I was expecting it to be like razor sharp. I got the end like teeth cut it, but it wasn't But yeah, I caught those two fish. It's just been rough. It's just been so bad And I I did the the bait profiles. There was a lot smaller I was working in a little bit more finesse, you know, I had a lot more bites I know I've had a lot more time to fish. I really only had I even have an hour to out there to fish So I'm not complaining too much I've been so packed today was actually my second day of school the first day I Actually have a few stories I want to tell you but right now it's actually 11 o'clock I just got home from the gym and I'm gonna cook me some food and Then go upstairs edit this video get ready for you ready for you guys do some homework And I hopefully get up at around 6 37 tomorrow and I hit the gym again I'm getting my routine back just grinding, you know putting in the work Of all aspects being well rounded through everything And I can't be more blessed and I've just been so happy lately Just knowing that I'm doing fishing.

I've only had one ticket in my lifetime I got pulled over probably 20 times, but it's for dumb stuff like lights my light bar green light just stupid stuff and I only got one ticket and then that was I want to see Jennifer mark probably around March or April this this year And it was for an illegal U-turn So this cop he pulls me over and I noticed the same guy. I'm like, oh my god He like remembered me and we were just talking and he ended up being pretty nice He did give me a ticket, but he did lower the speed. So when any points on my license, I could just pay it off Just always stupid stuff happening. I don't know. I told him I was being honest with almost like dude I'm like trying to make it class and times first day of school. I was being honest with you, but uh That was crazy.
