 There he is. Oh my God, it's big. Yes, you know. No way. You got it. Oh my God. Flipped right there guys. I'm giving it some good little pop. Monster. He's a Mongoose though. There's boils on underneath here. I can't tell if it's been curdled or what. Oh my God. Today we're gonna be fishing with some big jigs for some big bass. This is actually a half ounce striking black and blue jig with a little rage chunk on the back of it. If you guys wanna check out any of the baits that I use, the link can be in the description box and I'll pop the code up on the screen. I have this paired up on my Kicking Their Bass TV X Lose combo. If you guys wanna check these out, they're only available on my website, KickingTheirBass.com. I'll have the link in the description box down below. Actually have this on 20 pound test and we're gonna go ahead and get it started guys to see if we can catch the wind's whipping. A good bit today. I actually haven't been to this pond in a very long time. So we're gonna get after and see what we can do. If they're not biting here, we're gonna move to some different ponds, but let's go ahead and get after it. We're gonna see if there's any fish on these little pylons under this bridge. I'm gonna call a ton on this, but I will say a lot of those fish just stack up on the edge of these little pylons. Also getting the shade right here. I've caught a few good ones here. Missed a couple really big ones previously, but I don't know, I'm gonna see. I know there's at least one fish under there. There's gotta be. This water is so stained too. Good thing I tied on this black and blue jig. You know, when you're fishing dirtier water, you're gonna want more of a black, black and blue, black and red type jig. It'll be a lot better than that dirty water. If you're fishing clear water, I would go with like a green pumpkin. Maybe like a watermelon red or some sort of a green pumpkin color with some chartreuse action. That's usually what I'll go with in some of the cleaner water, but for today it's like that black and blue. Any of your darker colors would be your best bet. Dude, that bite was insane. And I promise you that fish was on bed. Yes, sir. I didn't catch it guys, but that's exactly what I wanted to see. That bite was insane. That was not a small fish. I promise you I was up on the bed. He hammered it three different times and took it to the right. This is where it gets sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. I want to be careful with some slippery little sneaky snakes too. We need to be careful with that today. See, this is weird, right? Like you literally have a little opening. We're gonna flip them up here on the edges of grass and figure out what these fish are doing. I'm just gonna go flip this stuff guys until something, until boom, we get something. But I believe these fish are on bed, I really do. With how that fish ate it, it's too similar to how a bad fish would eat it. One, he didn't hold on to it. Two, he grabbed it and he took it to the right about three or four foot. That kind of is a telling sign to me, hey, that fish was on bed. He saw this little jigger out here eating down on his bed and he didn't like that. I want to say I just saw a dang snake but I'm gonna act like I didn't. I think this is where that fish blew up in a second. Let's go, baby. Look at that one. Look at that for the first fish of today, baby. I thought there was one on bed right there. I can knew it. No teat, no hook marks on that bass. He hasn't been caught. That is a pretty three pounder. Start off the video guys, look at that beautiful bass right there. Wow, what a good, chunky dude. That is a nice fish. There, I'm a striking jig. A nice close to three pounder right there. Let him go. Wow, what a catch right there, guys. Wow, we were just walking over here. I said, I got a good feeling about this and then we just, boom, we get one of them. He ate it just like a good one too. He did a perfect job with eating that thing. Sometimes this big one's on a jig. They'll thump that thing once or twice, thump, thump, and they'll just be walking off with it and that's exactly what happened. So when I first walked up on the spot right here, I was standing here and I kept seeing something flicker. I'm like, what's flickering? And I was like, it might be some fry right there. So I threw like three casts right in that same spot. Didn't get a bite, but I noticed I was also coming across something which was there was a little twig, a little tree sitting there. And sure enough, by my fourth cast, he finally pulled and ate it. I drug right over that branch. The moment I got off that branch, I felt thump and he started running to the right. Oh my gosh, dude, no way. Another good one. That's like a high two pounder, two and a half pounder. Oh, look at how they're eating this jig, bro. They're slamming it. They're slamming it in the same spot, guys. I'm literally standing in the same spot and I was like, you know, why not start flipping on this edge? I flipped one time right there, flipped on that other one and boom. Two flips after that other fish. Look at that striking jig hanging out of his mouth. Perfect hook set. Wow. Let's go, baby. That was a good bite. Solid two and a half pounder. Man, you gotta love it, guys. You gotta love it. We're making it happen today. We haven't been fishing too long. We got two nice bass. There he goes. Thank you, baby. I literally flipped right there, guys. Right there. And I'm actually hopping this thing pretty aggressively. Like I'm giving it some good little pop. Monster. Monster. Oh my God. Dude, she was going crazy, bro. Backlash my reel a little bit from that somehow. I mean, I don't know what I did wrong there other than I am in a weird position. I try to keep as much pressure as possible on that girl. It's just literally, one, I was demonstrating something for y'all. I wasn't expecting to get another bite in that same spot. And of course it was the female that I just lost. That fish was every bit of six plus. I don't know if you guys saw her when she jumped, but that was a monster. No doubt that was a monster. I mean, I just can't believe she bit it second flip. I'm glad these fish are positioned the way they are. Cause we're going to spend some time doing this. You know, it's unfortunate that we lost that fish. And sometimes that, you know, that happens guys. That's a part of fishing. And as mad as that can make me right now, I still have to understand that it happens. You know, I think I could have had a little bit better pressure on that fish. So part of the blame's on me. And thirdly, you know, we're just in a weird spot, man. We're in a weird spot. Don't get me wrong, that's so unfortunate. The fact that the fish was that big and, you know, the sad part about it is that fish is not going to bite again. If she did, it would probably be days from now, which I don't think I'm going to even be in town anyways, to come back for. Pretty hard breaking. I know. What is going on? Three pounder. Dude, okay. What is going on? I mean, guys, what is happening? Wow, this is crazy, man. What a day of big jig fishing. It's been such a long time since I've gone big jig fishing. And we're just catching some really good fish right now. I'm more confused. So there's not another hook mark in that mouth, which that one I hooked previously was way bigger than that. But I'm having a hard time understanding what's happened because so, all right, let's go back a little bit. When you're bad fishing, there's two bass on bed, okay? Well, I made a flip. I caught a two pounder. I made another flip, missed a six plus, made another flip, caught a three pounder. What is going on here? I don't know. I do not understand what is happening. But I like it. I don't like that I lost a six pounder, but I like it. When I was coming out of this pond today, I was like, yeah, I might get on a few fish. Maybe one or two bites. Man, I did not expect this. This pond don't produce that much. I guess today it is. We got hunkered down. And I don't know what's going on with that spot right there, but there was three freaking good fish. Maybe we can come back later and she'll bite. I don't know. Usually, once you stick fish like that, she ain't biting again, but with how that just happened, I guess you never know. There are boils all underneath here. I can't tell if it's been turtles or what. Oh my God. Wait, oh my God. Oh my God. I just broke it off. I just broke it off and got it back. How can this video get any crazier? By the way, I don't know what you guys are doing, but if you haven't already hit the like button on this video, if you're enjoying it this far in, I'm having a great time. I hope you guys are having a great time watching it. This has been a very eventful day so far, and I feel like we've only been out here for about an hour. Yeah, it's very interesting how today's going about, but I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying every second of it. We've caught some good fish. We've lost some good fish. We just had probably the weirdest moment I've ever captured on film. I've never hooked set of fish and broke off and then happened to see my jig sitting on the bank. Very confused by that, but we're just gonna go with it and be happy about it because I believe this is my only jig, guys. I would have been upset. Let's just say I would have been very upset. Tying this on with a uni knot. I don't know if you guys saw it too. It didn't break my knot. It broke about half an inch above my knot. And there was a fish on that. We fished this bridge at the beginning, but we know what we're doing now. You understand how hard I have to pop this jig and this fish gets so mad, guys. It gets so angry. I want you to pay attention to what I'm doing here. They don't, I'm aggressive with it. They get so angry with me. Like I'm pitching it up there. I'm going pop, pop, pop. And all of a sudden you thunk, then you hook set. All right, boys and girls, the thing we gotta do, we gotta backtrack real quick before we continue going forward because these fish are on frickin' bed. They own like Donkey Kong, they gotta be. What I just witnessed is some crazy stuff. And secondly, I'm glad I'm throwing this jig. I'm in the tightest, tightest of spots too, guys. I mean, this is not an easy task. This is so, so interesting. I just know there's more, guys. I know there's more on this grass edge. We still have a lot of water to cover too. I can't imagine what we're gonna get into today. Mama mia, give me more to life than getting stuck in a tree, you know? It's the biggest mess. All right, all right, I think we gotta retop. I stepped in most disgusting fire ant hole I've ever seen. That is way too many fire ants. These are big ones too. I did not mean to mess y'all up, guys. I'm not the plan. I did not expect old bass to mess me up. That was a fricking big one, guys. Another big one. That's happened to, that was all my fault, you know, unless I wanna sit here and blame it on the dang trees and grass. But I put myself in that position anyways. I did, I don't think I stuck them that well though. Like I really don't think I had that fish good. I had to do like a left side hook set, which is really awkward for me. And two, my pole went up and like hit that tree. I was in the tightest of spots. Like that was really weird. We might be able to flip back in there and catch that one. I know that there's some more bass on the other side of that grass patch. I'm just glad we figured out exactly what these fish are wanting. Like this is just crazy to me. I mean, they're loaded, they're loaded on this. We just gotta keep it going, guys. Let's keep it, let's put our heads down, do what we do best, stay positive. Yeah, we lost some fish, but it's all right. You know, we're gonna catch some more and catch some even bigger than what we lost. So, should be one right there. Guys, oh my goodness. Oh, you're not that big. He's a Mongoose hook. I'll take a five pounder all day. Look. Now that's a giant, man. Oh my goodness. What a fish. Get him out of that sun. That's a freaking monster, guys. Can you see how I'm working this thing? Look how it barely had her in the corner of the mouth. Wow. That little tip that I'm doing, guys, with a jig, something not many people do, not many people know about. And that right there is how we're catching these big ones. I haven't done that in a minute. Let's get this big girl back in the water. She looks so big, but I'll take her, man. That's a freaking giant. Gosh, that's so sweet. And just how I was working that bait, just to see that's crazy. I'm lucky I got that fish, guys. She stole my last one. I know they're still on that other pincher. But I guess it's a great little time to talk about it. You know, I call her right on this little point right here, right there. What I'm doing is the jig hits the bottom and I'm just boom, boom, boom, boom. And then all of a sudden you'll pop up one time and you'll feel the pull bag down and you need to go right up. That time I didn't go right up. I kind of sat there and felt it because I didn't know what I was really feeling there. But you'll feel the bass just load right up on it. So what's happening? When I pop that jig, it goes boom, and then it falls. Now pop it again, boom, it falls. Now pop it again, boom, and it falls. This is a half ounce jig. I'm fishing about two to three foot of water, very shallow. So I can get away with this half ounce. You know, I've done this a lot ledge fishing. Pickwick Lake, Kentucky Lake. I had a bunch of tournaments up there, college fishing, high school fishing, all of the above out there on those lakes. And I'll tell you, one of the best ways to fish out there, one of my favorite ways is to throw a big one ounce jig and you work it very similar on those ledges. And you know, we're doing it today for some very shallow water spawning desk, which I don't tend to do often, but I saw this jig in my car and I was like, you know what, I think today's the day that we whip it out and make it happen. And that is exactly what we're doing today guys. And you guys are witnessing it with this crazy technique that you probably don't see many people do. And it's very aggressive. And you know, these big fish are firing off. You know, these might be fish that I'd normally sit here and fish for for 30 minutes, but I'm not having to. You know, I'm getting an instant reaction out of these bass. They're getting so mad about this jig being worked past and super aggressive and they're just crushing. So let's keep on going guys and see if we can hook some more. Dude, is that a turtle or a fish? I looked away for two seconds. Oh my gosh, I guess it was a fish. Wow, that was cool. That's the male. Can we get the female? Smoke that jig though. That's our smallest one today. All right baby, growing get bigger for me. Oh my gosh, he was all up in that grass. I didn't, he pulled back on me. Oh my gosh. I'm so mad right now. Dude, the way that that fish is eating it, I'm never in my life. I think there's another fish there guys. Look at that though. Wow, I love it. Thank you, baby. I've never seen fish eat this thing so dang weird when they're on bed like that. Just get all types of weird. He ate it through that grass. I don't know if it was him or a different one. That was so odd. Then when I hooked it, I just totally like, I might have had him for a second. I don't think my hook got in him. I think he just had it in his mouth. I like pulled all that grass off. It did create like a little point. All of a sudden I threw back in there and just kept thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. So weird. There he is. Oh my God, that's a big one. Yes, you know. Stay on baby, stay on. Three pounder. Thought it looked about four when it jumped. Oh yes. Gosh, he ate it good too. Gosh, he ate it all the way in the back of her throat. Look at that, that quick. I hooked that right away too. That's a nice fish. It's like a three and a half pounder right there, baby. I couldn't tell you if this was the same baby that was biting a second ago. It could be. There's some good fishing here guys. Just good solid, healthy bass. Like, man, like you're catching an average of a three pounder. You're having a pretty good day. No way. I got her. Oh my God, please stay pinned. This is a huge one guys. This might be the big one. I had her. That was a big one, dude. That way twice today. Oh my God. She stole my worm too. That boil, you can't make that up. That's a boil that you see in your dreams, man. Oh my goodness. I had her, dude. I forget how to.
