 Today, we're going to be fishing these swim baits for some giant bass. We're at this beautiful clear lake, super clear water. The visibility is unreal and it's just overall a beautiful day outside. I got a couple different poles down here and then we have a ton of swim baits in the boat today, boys. We have small swim baits, we have big swim baits, we have glide baits, we have mag drafts. I mean, anything that you could think of, we have. And I want to show you guys a few options that we're going to go through and then we're going to get into fishing and catch some of these big bass. I actually got the boy, Fletcher, meet today. What's going on, son? What's going on, son? I'm getting rigged up here, going to put on a little paddle tail. What sizes you got for me? Yeah, we got the 3.75 and then we have this one, which is a 4.75. These are just the Rage Swimmers. We got some whites down here and then these other ones are Green Pumpkin with white on the bottom. I'm actually going to start off with this little underspin with one of the Rage Swimmers on the back of it. And then I'm actually going to tie this mag draft on my bait caster. So that is the game plan, guys. Let's go ahead and rig up and get to catching these fish. The last time we were out here was the same. All right, dude, we had the best day of fishing in a long time. So you guys better stay tuned. It's going to be a banger. Let's hop into it. 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 at the subscribe button really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. All right, guys, we're going to get this mag draft and we're actually going to move this onto my bait caster here. And if you guys are wondering, I got it on my Kickin' The Bass TV Exluse bait caster. If you guys want to check them out, check them out on KickinTheBass.com. It'll be linked down below. We're going to tie this puppy on here and then we're going to put the underspin on the second bait caster. Here we got this second rod. That's what we're going to put the underspin on. It's another kicking combo. And I also have my Mach Jack spinning combo. I can put like a smaller swim bait on that, but I'm probably going to wait just a little bit. I got a drop shot on right now. Maybe we'll just get a random niche and throw that. This is what I'm rocking with here, guys. We just have a little itsy-bitsy swim bait. And we're going to try this and we're going to try the opposite end of the spectrum today. Go with one of the big boys, but we're going to get the party started with this. And in addition to this, I also got the live scope rolling. So we're going to be looking around, see if we can't find any fish stacked up. But I'm hoping the bite should go well. I was out here a few days ago. And we saw some big ones rolling around to zealies. We saw a lot of threes, a lot of fours, a five. And then I saw one that was just up sunbathing. That was an easy seven plus. So we're hoping that we can get into them today. I'm more excited for the big swim baits up shallow, which we're going to fish off this point real quick, boys. We got a lot of wind whipping today. And we're going to see what we can scavenge up here at the start. And then when we get up in this pocket, just know it might get a little crazy. OK. It's a big bass. And that is not the only pocket that we're excited to fish today. So, you know, we just got to pay attention and make sure we capitalize on these opportunities. The last time we were out, we doled up six times, seven times. I don't think I have enough fingers to count the amount of times we doubled up. Yeah, we would have got slammed there if they were on that good. Oh, yeah, I was shallow on the point, though. There we go, baby. Come on. Yeah, they were all sure on that point. I feel like we would have got at least a nibble and came off right there. Dang, boy. He's just running at me so hard. I feel like I was just huffing him in, but I had to just catch up to him and couldn't do it. Yeah, he was right up there shallow on that point, though, five foot off. See, see one chilling on the live skip here. We'll see if we can't snipe them. Filling on the bottom. Dude, what? Listen, guys, I wanted to kind of add some suspense on the big swim bait, but we have so many options and I just want to go ahead and throw this big, big mag here. You see this little flutch? Is that mag? That is money, bro. There isn't a better, a better looking swim bait right there. Oh, oh, oh, oh, dude. That's got me that, dude. Hey, brother. I've been throwing this mag guy for about six casts and you get hit like that. There's an issue. And that's promising real quick on the mag. Always behind it. Dude, you literally I'm just talking. Oh, my God, he's freaking nice, dude. Is on his head, Fletcher. Oh, I saw that. I got I got way too excited. He didn't have that trouble. And I usually never slow it down, but we were so close to the boat there. I think he's still he's still under it. Is he? Yeah, he's really interesting. He's ate it. Oh, my goodness gracious. That was a freaking shark, Fletcher. That was a freaking shark. It was like a four pounder, too, dude. My thing is, I can see this bait and I probably want to slow it down if I didn't see that fish behind it. And usually that's something that I don't do. I like to keep it a good steady running. Another issue that I had was it was so close to the boat, to the point to where she didn't start falling in until I was 10 foot away. That just kind of makes it difficult on you and also the fish commit. And that little pocket that I threw in, let's think five pounder zone or something. Call her out, call her out. Oh, yeah, dude, straight up freaking slam. Oh, it's a big in two, boy. Dude, I think they want the big bait. That's a good three plus right there. I tossed in that spot two or three times. Look at that freaking shark, boy. Oh, gosh, look at that swim bait hanging out her face. Bro, they want to eat something that's worth their their energy this time of year. Let's go, baby. Come on now. Look at that mag hanging out of her mouth. And that is a beautiful three and a half pounder. Look at that, bro. That is picture perfect, boy. I love to see it getting the potty started. First fish today isn't an absolute giant, but it's a dang good one. Beautiful bass and just beautiful markings. Thank you, baby. Here we go, boys. We are on board. The big bait bite might be the move today. I'm not going to lie to you. I am inching closer and closer to picking up that glide. I'm going to stick this out just a little bit just to see if we can find some like bass out of the middle that might be a little bit more inclined to bite it. There's one. Yeah, I was letting that baby sit on the bottom. Good one. Yeah, she got some girls. She got a little little extra junk in the trunk. She said he's got to get into the boom party. Oh, yeah, dude, that's like a three. Oh, look at the size, man. We might put up a bag today, son. That's an easy three and a half. When the water gets clear like this, they can't just beat a chunk like that. Right, ready to do nature's work here in a month or two. I appreciate the nipple, lady. Stop, dude. We're on board, both of us. We're getting after them now, boy. It's taking us a little second to get dialed in, but that's the start to a great day, guys. And I promise you, those are not going to be the biggest. I'm expecting a couple twice that size. Today might be a little more of a, I'm not going to say force feed because we're throwing sweet swimming baits today. If we're throwing drop shots in net rigs, it'd be more of a force feed. But I definitely think we're going to have to work a little harder to get some of these fish to bite. Oh, come on, Fletch. There you go. No squirrels today, dude. Only bass. I don't think that slithers around. Not slithers. We don't need it. We don't need any slithers, dude. I catch a slithering, boy, if I want. No slithers. Yeah, dude, they are freaking hitting it and running, dude. I can't even touch up. Look at this. Yes, I can't even catch up with this fish. Oh, man, this might be a good one. Oh my gosh. Hello. Hey, baby. Dude, same way, bro. I throw it in there. You already had it, and I couldn't catch up with the fish. Yeah, couldn't even catch up with the fish. Look at that. It's a beautiful bro. Look at how you ate it, though. See, that one ate it how it's supposed to be. Come on, baby. Yes. Look, brother, we've got three fish that are three and a half pounds. Thank you, pretty girl, for biting. Good three pounder. That's three fish in the three pound range. And we haven't upgraded yet, but I am not complaining with three fish that are all above three. Come on, now. That's a good average size. It's crazy, guys, how in a month's worth of time, I really don't think it was two months. I think it was more. It's been two months. I promise. I guess it's been two months, guys, but in two months of time, how much these fish have changed, all these fish were all sure on these little swimming baits, and we were just crushing it. And now it's looking like more of a shallow bite. Bigger swimming bait action, which is more fun. But we're still testing out some of these holes just to make sure we're not skipping over fish. We can find a stack of them out here before we go into some of these other pockets. That would be killer. You see the water temp on that? 56. Okay, that's not bad at all. Dude, I cannot believe how far you're fricking running, dude. I hope set them like 10 minutes ago. Oh, gosh, brother, they're running so far. I can't even, dude, this is a giant. This is a giant. Oh, no, she's good. I mean, another three and a half. I thought she was like over four. Yeah, she barely hooked. We're just gonna have for the biscuit, boys. Oh my goodness, dude. Got one, double up. Shut up. Double up. We're starting that now. Yeah. Come on, boy. Here we go. That's more like it. They had to judge both our tides, dude. Come on, now. The first smaller one of the day. Yeah, that's the first small fish. Another good three pounder for me, guys. Fletcher's doubled up. That's our first small one, Fletcher, you got it. Surprisingly. Got them. Yeah, got them back to back. Good, oh. Back to back. Got a better one. Oh, about the same size as the one I just caught. Nothing special, but she's a fish. I just can't believe how they're eating this thing. Can't even set it up good for my little side hook set because they're already 20 foot to the left. It's like I just lean and I have zero pressure. I had to hook set that fish three times before I could start moving them. That's why I didn't even say anything to you. I'm like, really, dude? I thought he was gonna come off. I really did. There we go. Got him again. Guess what? Got him again. Oh, we doubled up. Yeah, and that feels like a nice one. Come on. Two double ups. No way that we're gonna go just like the other day. I love it, man. Does yours have some size? Yeah, this one actually does. Yeah, this one's a little better. Better than those last two. It's another dang three pounder for that. I mean, I just can't even believe this. Look at this. I think that's three casts in a row. That's, that's, oh, I don't know. That's another three pounder. We're getting some big ones now. High two to three. Maybe a three even. How fat she is. Golly, boy. I'm gonna switch gears here, folks. We're going with the glide bait, busting this puppy out. Love to throw this thing nice and slow and methodical. Gets these fish wound up. The way they've been eating that mag trath, I feel like they should be hammering this thing. Did you see that? That's all that. These fish have got me way too excited on this glide, man. Or this mag. I hooked it too early twice. Some about that just major thump and seen it at the same time, just kind of makes you just want to go crazy, dude. Oh, yes. Right away on the glide, it took all of two casts. Let's go. Let's go. Crushing it. Hey, they're liking it big today. She clobbered that thing. Get out of there. Boom. Another nice fish. Nice and chunky, just like they should be this time of year. Get that glide bait back in, see if we can't call up a bigger one. Hey, it was fun throwing the smaller swim baits, but this is what we all want to see. Like that. Oh, boom. Like that. That was a big one. That was a big one, dude. Is that the best one yet? Yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah. Come on, now. Yeah. Hello. Dude, they're on, Fletch. They're on. Look at how beautiful this fish is. Probably one of the prettiest ones we've caught out of here in a long time. Oh, boys, let's your line. What are you doing to me? What are you doing to me? I'm trying to lay on a freaking toad. Yeah. Get her in. Get her in. Yeah. That's a four pounder all freaking day, baby. Come on, now. Oh, dude, the prettiest fish and the biggest fish today. Look at the markings on that bass. Dude, that is a straight beauty. Fletcher, we just might have another record day out here, dude. This might be our record day, that swim bait fishing. That's the biggest one today, four pounder. Oh, that's a brute. Dude, I watched it. See, that one didn't hesitate. So, boys, we were talking earlier about trying to figure out a pattern. These fish were positioned everywhere. And we couldn't really figure out anything. But I'll tell you, I think we can go in the middle. Definitely catch a ton of good fish. And a lot of those three pound, two pound fish out in the middle. But I think if we're really wanting to go for those five plus pounders, throwing these bigger swim baits up under these trees and up on the bank, we're going to have one, that fun reaction bite. Two, we're catching them on a big swim bait. I just think they're going to be overall bigger fish. Yeah, the big ones move up first. Oh my gosh, Fletch. I skipped that mag. Oh, dude, I don't know if she wasn't home, but I got that thing right where I needed to. This isn't even the big eight inch throw, guys. But honestly, we don't need the eight inch for what we're doing. We only want the six inch. That's what she said. We're throwing an eight inch swim bait up by these trees. You're talking about more weight, just a heavier profile, hard to get in these spots. And it would kind of be a mess. All right, get yourself tied on, Fletch, because I feel it big. And somewhere in this zone, it's going to happen. Somewhere along this tree or that corner. You watch her eat that glide. Oh, I just got slammed. Oh, it's. So look, I already know what happened there. I usually hook set to the right, dude. And I just kind of had to do that awkward left. Yeah, one, we're trying to avoid the wing, guys. In two, I didn't want to smack Fletcher in the nose. But I want to take in one for the team. Hey, you saw her there, though. That was a four all day long. It definitely has been more notably on the points than any other area we fish. Oh, dude, that's another four. I had the risk going your side, Fletch. I promise I kept you in mind. I wasn't going to snipe you. Did you see me? I kind of half-cocked my hook set. Dude, that's a big one. That might be bigger than the other one. My last one. Oh, yeah, dude. That's a freaking mega. Small mouth on it. Huge body. Should feel like a Mack Truck. Golly, that's actually not even a four. That's just like a three pounder that's on the freaking verge of popping. You can't get better than this one, guys. You really can. I don't think I've ever. Oh, yes. Hello. I don't think I've seen them this pushed up so early, man. Crazy. Almost the best. Crazy. They're pushed up so shallow and these are all fat, pre-spawn bass, eating big baits. We've already seen some beds, which is unreal. I mean, it's so early. You wouldn't expect that. Another chunk. Still hunting for that bite the right home about. Yeah, that big one's going to come, dude. Kind of got to weave through some of these. Send one down that bank line right here while I get this. Actually, I'm going to do a little short cast first. And I'm going to go up. So I don't want to spook if there's a fish here. Oh, yes. Throw in that other zone. You'll get it. You're about to get, you're about to double up, dude. I feel it. I felt that cast. Yes. Oh, no, it's a snack. It's a snack. That zone that Fletcher's in, we've had a lot of luck in. It's just like right on the tip of a point. It's always been a pretty good spot. But what I didn't want to do, so this was a little strategic cast here. I wanted to hit this little rock here where this tree connects. So we prioritized that cast first, therefore we could go in on the deeper cast. So we wanted to caught this fish if I would have thrown over and hooked one there. I would have spooked them. Just kind of a way to be able to maximize your catches and catch even more fish without spooking them off. That's a good two and three quarter pounder. Thank you, baby. That's actually. Oh, man. All right. All right, I think we found the pattern. Pattern is secured. That is a pretty good one, my friends. They're all good fish. I mean, you've caught two tiny ones. Not too bad. Every one of them is a unit. We'll skip up in there. Just like that. Right on the skip. I mean, dude, come on. They're freaking nice too, dude. We didn't even catch. Oh, God. That's a really good one. Yeah. That's four pounder. Oh, look how pretty. Dude, these big ones are so beautiful. That was on a skip right under that tree. You can't make this up, man. This one's got a beautiful outer line. Look how good she's coked it, dude. Yeah. That's how you like to see it. Yeah. That's how you like it. Unreal, yes, four pounder. That is a brute, bro. Look at how just like beautiful, super short body. Certified unit. Certified freak, baby. That was my first official, I'd say, like straight skip to catch. The trick with this mag draft, I'm kind of getting it dialed in now. I throw this up there. I'll let it sink for like a couple seconds there. That starts just slowly, really. We ain't moving it much. You're going to feel a hard slam and you just count the two and you can kind of lean into them. Yeah, look at them. Big and dude. Oh, yeah. Another freaking big. And my last three have been huge, dude. They're getting bigger, guys. Oh, that's the biggest one. All right? I don't want a mag draft. Yeah, yeah. We might flop her on the scale just for it. Just for it? Just get a bait for it? Me and Fletcher are like, maybe they're not back here and then this happens. Cali ate it. Oh my God. I can't even fit my hand around here. Oh, yeah. Dude. Straight donkey. Is she thick? Should be a four pounder. Oh, dang, dude. I could have. Yeah, she didn't break off, but she smoked it. I could have hooked that because I didn't want to smack you in the face, but she came up. She rocketed at that thing, too, man. Oh, yeah, four and a half, dude. A little over four to four and nine. Hey. Getting close to that five pounder. What's crazy is that is in a three and a half pound fish's body. And it's a total freaking freak. Almost a five pound, I mean, four and a half pounder. Straight brute. Wow. We are getting the size now, guys. Maybe this back pocket we just came in is going to be the zone. Fletcher just missed a good one. I caught that one. Oh, look at that one. Follow those two. There you go. There are two or three following me. That's a big one, dude. Yes. Yes, the other one's a big one. Look. No, no, no. Follow that out. Oh, Fletcher, Fletcher. Dude, she's so interested. They're just too close to the boat. I know, they're so close. God, this thing is a magnet. Don't smack. Dude, in my head, that thing was coming right from my nuts. It's funny because one of the last one of my videos is when I got that dang thing in my leg. Oh, yeah. Can you remember that? Mockshad wanted to get some revenge on me for some reason. Oh, that's it. Yep. Oh, he came off. And it was a dang good one. I saw him flash. Ah. I knew you had a big one up there. All right, guys, there's a pocket back in here. And usually this mouth can be a good zone and just how they've been positioning. Like anything in this little area here, any openings that we can get in with these trees. Oh, dude, pull out straight there. Yeah. You want to try to get it? There you go. Come out, come out wherever you are. Oh, I thought. Yeah, you did. Oh. Oh, he flashed away. Dang, dude. Yeah, he was right on it. Oh, he's still on it. He's still on it. He's right under it. He needs it. Oh, you got three. Oh, there's three. There's three. I want to bring mine. You just kind of put yours there. Oh, yeah, you got them. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, let's go. Get that double. Get that double. Come on, baby. Get on with it. She's under me right now, dude. She is on it, Fletch. She won't eat it, dude. Oh, yes. Come here, darling. Finally, broke a little drought for me. We've been waiting boys to fish this pocket good, and it just hasn't. I mean, it's probably been a year and a half since we really caught them good in this one. They're in here somewhere. You know, we were talking about kind of a dry spot, and then we hit them. Maybe it's the. Oh. Yeah, I felt that. Yeah. I watched her put it in her mouth. Maybe this is one of those spots that's like, back there, they weren't on. You come up right here, and this is where they're at. If you think about it, it would make sense. That's the bank that rides down where we just caught this fish. Maybe it's just the certain sod. That's it. That's it. Catch of the day right here. Yep. Yeah. I can get her out of that tree. Yeah. Textbook. Textbook, baby. Textbook, little skipperoo up in that. I mean, they're so predictable, dude. So predictable. So predictable now. Now that we caught all these fish on these big ones, this is the most big swim bait fish we've caught in a long time. If not in this pond, probably ever. Oh, yeah. Nice one. That wasn't even a hard thumb. She just came up and ate it. That's felt weight. That's a beauty right there, guys. Mid three pounder, maybe even high three pounder. That was a beautiful eat, man. Little skip up in that pocket. Almost was afraid I wasn't going to get her around that tree branch. She was kind of worrying me there. Oh, dear, like money. Money's out. Yes, and let's go. Oh, I threw over a branch there, guys. I tried to work it slow. Oh, really? I was trying to work it slow up until where it was stuck on the branch, and she hit it on my last little flutter there before I had to go up over that tree. I was like a half-dingle-meister there. The schlingel-dingle. I call me Professor Dingle. Hello. There's got to be one in that. Oh, gosh. Oh, yeah, another one. A big one, too, dude. The big ones like that, man. Dude, they are freaking crushing it. I can't even get them all off. I was even working that one a little faster just because the boat was kind of tipping it, too. I mean, come on, man. Come on, double up with me. I just can't believe that they're all big. I think it's unreal. Trying to get me messed up, aren't you? Let me just get you off the hook, maybe. Let me just get you. She's pulling. She's angry with me. That's another three and a half pounder. Oh, not really. Oh, my God, that might be a four. Oh, yeah, that's a four. That's definitely a four. I can't believe this. Well, let's throw in there again. That's where the money zone was. I mean, these fishers, this is the best day of fishing we've had in 10 months. There ain't many bites out of beat this. Obviously, we love a good topwater bite. We love a good frog bite, but this bite's pretty sick. I'm not going to lie. Well, if you throw in a bait this size, you're looking for a handful of bites, not to fill the whole boat. Hey, usually when we fill in these swimbait videos, we're looking for five at most. And we have been blessed today with over 20. Oh, hello. God, why do the smaller ones want to eat this thing? It's making no sense. If we were doing a straight bait comparison, because you're fishing in front of me too. Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying. The bigger ones are definitely wanting the mag. Definitely have some good quality ones, by all means, but. Yeah, that's almost everyone I hook on this. I feel like it's been, if it's not three and a half, it's four, four and a half. Crazy. There's definitely going to be one on this point right here. Got to be. All right, guys. I'm feeling it. Big ones coming here. Put them in the bank and I got one. Oh, hello. That's the smallest one to eat that mag all day. Right off the main lake point. Oh, I got two. Wait. You got two? No way. Sorry, dude. My swimbait's just a little too big. And I saw it's tail swing. I was like, how's that even possible? I couldn't tell you, man, but I've seen some crazy stuff. I ain't got a lot. Like, my mind, hey, it happened one of the other times we were swimming bait fishing in here. I caught two on one swimbait. There we go. That's two and a half, man. Ain't bad. Like any other given day, that's a dang good fish, but right now it's nutty, man. I figured to have three good days of weather and the fish were like, oh my gosh, it's spring. It's just beyond me. What? Maybe that's how they are over here. All right, flesh. We've gone down this whole bank and I had one bite right at the point. It was the first cast. So they got to be, I mean, they have to be on this bank. Tirely pause. Oh, hello. Crushed it. I think they're here. Dude, the first cast on this side. Yeah. They're liking this, this wind blend side. Let me see if I can double up with you. Okay. That's a better one. That is a better one for me. There she is guys. Solid high three. Oh no. She's definitely a three pounder, by all means. Say on the higher end of a three. Little bigger size on the glide. Yeah. I love it. I love to see it. My bad dude, I totally lost control of that. A swim bait sometimes wants to go wherever the swim bait wants to go. Oh, look at that, look at that. Dude, if you just sing to them, you just got to serenade them. You had two absolute donkey Kongs. When we've seen them today, they've been in groups, but usually you just see like a male and a female. That was two freaking big juicy mamas. That's the one thing with the glide bait. Like if you can get them to eat like a swim bait, like this mag draft, you might as well throw it. Cause those glide baits call in so many fish. Which is cool to see, but it just also breaks your heart. Especially if you're like, today's just been unreal for us. But if it was a day that we're having three to five bites max, it really can get in your head. Do you see that? She went up pretty subtle and just. Mm-hmm. Go right in that pocket. And that's a boom, she'll plow right there, boy. Right there. Oh, dude, she spit it out. Did you see that? Never felt that bite either. Go for it. You can get it. You got it. I believe in you. And that's a fish catch watch. Come on. Oh, I got rolled on. Oh, oh yes. Yes. Got her. Got her. I was like, come on baby. That whole bank was a box. You didn't get that one. Oh, she willacures. Get in here. Another one. B-J-K-L-E.
