 I think maybe they were the bandit. We had the bandit at one time. Oh, no That was your first of your dad had a Skeeter Yeah, so they're in the Skeeter and we were in yours up. Hey bigger than this and your dad scared Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the channel into the great outdoors we got a special video for you here today It is me and my best friend big and we've got our dads out here for a father-son Fishing competition out of kayaks. It is spring. We have bass moving around in the shallows We are on a small lake perfect for kayak fishing. Here's the deal little background story me and Craig How we really started our fishing bond together many years ago probably 15 16 years old our dads booked us a guide trip out to Lake Fork It was both of our first times out there I ended up catching the biggest fish of my life at that time of nine pounds We had an amazing time and we both became hooked on bass fishing Several years later. We are all together again going out bass fishing and we've never all fished in kayaks together So we all have them. We all have these hobbies 12 or 14 nice fishing kayaks a lot of a lot of history A lot of a lot of trash talking that's taking place right now and here's here's gonna be the team for the day It's going to be me and Craig versus the dads Craig's this is his first time out on the water this year. I have been Fishing a lot guys, so I'm I'm sort of dialed in Craig's fish here before I never have so we have that going for us our dads they just have you know 150 years of combined knowledge basically, so See what they can put together. I think this is what we landed on We're gonna go most fish number of lures used caught and then big fish is three points There are the rules we're gonna weigh in at 12 30 and see Do the dads still got it or do the Suns dominate? I got my lucky hat on too. Oh, he's got his big fish lucky hat Gentlemen start your engines commence dangling All right dad, I wish you luck, but I Don't think there's a lot of hope, but we'll see All right, y'all we were probably dealing with spawn and some post spawn out here This is typically One of my favorite things to throw right here in the the spring and Honestly, you know all through the post spawn nice little saucy swimmer there. It's the 4.8 Got it on a little quarter ounce Hook and I'm throwing this on a setup. I really really wanted to fish this setup today This is one of our new two-piece traveling rods And it's a go-to spinning rod. It's a 7-2 medium heavy So it makes it really good for throwing some of these bigger baits on a spinning setup I could throw a lot of different stuff on it. So I thought it'd be good for the yak Craig's on all the way up there Is home got him on my pistol grip you dragging me around a little bit to pounder Now we have three Looks like a better one. All right, we got three on two Gotta keep count on that's taking me around the back here. Where's that scale at upper twos? All right, we got four on two and we're gonna get away on this one 262 Hey, buddy not hearing a whole lot from the dads right now as we're throwing that blazing worm on a brush pile I think it's a little posties nice little posties Blazing worm is an absolute shallow-grass killer, but You can throw it on a Texas rig like this Fishing in brush too and that little tail It's good for coming through stuff. So it doesn't get caught on the twigs and all that See if I can get another one. I feel like there should be a big one in here Can't tell if I still have this fish on or not. I still feel him See sawing him through here. I don't want to break him off Me down in there pretty good Seven on four lures. All right, here's where the challenge of kayak fishing comes in There's ten thinking he wants to fish back here behind this grass yet. Oh My gosh, look at that one right there That one just ate eat it like a frog. That was sweet. Yes, sir Whoo, man, that's a fun bite y'all. I'm actually enjoying throwing this on the spinning combo It's pretty slick Fish on my gotta be garters because they're coming back and tagging it It's just a really good way to fish fast for these things instead of Working that weightless bait really slow I'm working a weightless bait, but I'm reeling it my slender profile to get through this grass This worm is just it's the tits. Oh God seems to hit the water. Yeah, that's a better one. I think that's 13 I just had one. I wasn't looking That could be a big one because it just sucked it. Yeah, I think that was a nice one. There he was dad It was a nice one too. Oh my god. He ate it. That's a biggin. You got your scale He swallowed it 2-6 2-6 Be a good decent Fish out. All right guys, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make an emergency stop at the truck for more lunker logs That is going to be I think I can get a bigger bite just working on the outside. These are mostly Aggressive males up shallow brought my big bag of everything Just a hot pod bag of course We're gonna get innovative here Take the tail off of the blazing worm. This plastic is not as Salty as the blazing. It's not gonna sink as well But it's something To go weightless style here weightless on the grass lines Here's one main wacky style Pretty unbelievable. Not sure where we're at Catch wise I got to check him with crag. I'm heading that way The area which just came from that little Cove I Got one I would say on the outer edge of that is a really good spot to throw that popper It's got me in some brush or something. This might be the brush. No, I got him. It's just grass 17 bass I'm gonna get a lipless out here and they're pecking at it little peckers. Oh, there we go first cast Good call. Yeah, I'm telling you they're not that big though No, I thought they were big too, and then I ended up catching them and they're like two pounders Oh, there's one come here, baby. There we go. We're almost legal. I used to swimbait fish finally 25 25 and that's our sixth lure Seventh lure right there, baby. It's a little better fish a lot of that. Oh a lot of this too Lot of this to be had Look, we got a tune on now. Yeah To 42 here we go Justin probably about to seven All right guys, we got the numbers Where's old Mondo? We got about an hour left of competition guys me and Craig have 31 fish right now And we've got seven different lures that we've got fish on so my dad Craig's dad. They're over there dabbling. I Don't think they have the numbers and I think they're probably right around the same same lures I don't know. It's it's actually pretty close. We've been going punch for punch here up in the shallows the wacky rigs absolutely crushing it and Probably the most fat a fun I've had all day so far is throwing the blaze and worm like up in the stuff and getting those fish come up on top Eat it even though they're not huge just a lot a lot of fun Throw it on that spinning rod is really cool too. You skip it and get a lot a lot of distance with it Craig is on fire 33 oh this looks like a better one. Oh gosh. It's a better one. Come here. Oh, yeah Double up no He got me really excited though. It was a fun bite Smash that like button for that bite y'all that is some fun stuff Like I said, this is the this is the funnest Bite out here in my opinion. I think we got it done, but let's see. I feel super cool Throwing out your way in back Is that your back a fish? Pretty nice It's time for weigh in that's pretty small right there. All right, so what do you guys have a team name? Old dad dad the grumpy. We're the grumpies the grumpies. Okay team grumpies versus team prime I think is uh is appropriate. This is what team grumpy was catching today. We were instructed on this lake to Extract fish that were under 14 14 like that Me and Craig got on a little tear There at the end, but the rules were big fish basically takes the cake, right? So did did anyone catch a fish over three pounds? Nope, so that leaves it up to the number of lures Two for you. I hit three. So five. We'll give you four or five. We hit five. Whatever. We hit five So uh last fish of the day that I caught swim jig that is eight Uh eight different lures for us. So we've got a point there Now uh, so we're one up on you know, how many fish do you think you caught total? Eight 13 eight and 13. Well Craig and I I believe we caught 41 41 bass. Hey do we have to we have to keep going here? Often we sat in here and I think I heard somebody getting on a conference call or something and that point I was like, well We got this in the bag It's turning All right, fishing freaks good dangle today The funnest part of the day for me throwing up shallow with the blazing worm and fishing it like a buzzbait That bite should get better and better for Postspawn fish and if you guys fish shallow grass you already know throwing thrown buzz style worms is really good But if you have not tried that Give that a shot Through the post spawn It's a really good technique up there on the shallow fish if you don't want to throw it like a frog Or uh, you know, it's a little too thick to throw like a buzzbait or any other top water through try that And it was good to get out with the dad today We haven't all four fish together in a really long time Our dad's got us into fishing And it is so cool to be able to reconnect with him now doing fishing and it's it's almost like we're teaching them things Most of the time so it's a different angle on it and it's the circle of life man It's cool.
