 I hate that thing so light. I never saw him blow up. Never saw anything. He just had it. That was crazy. First commitment on the rat this morning. Not too impressed by that, but it seemed super slow. I don't know if they were going to come up for this. I didn't even see him wake near it. I never saw him blow up on it. I never saw anything. He just had it. You just got to keep on casting. If I get your heart pumping right there, now to get your heart pumping. Let's get back in there. Oh, not this morning. I had a bite, but nothing. Nothing more than that. It's a little cold this morning. There's a lot of people coming over here, though. Yeah? What, that's a rat? Yeah. Yeah. It's not real, no. But yeah, I had one bite over there, but that's about it. No! No! That was actually a good bite. I was waiting for that cast right there. I had a feeling there was one sitting there. Gosh, dang it. That's painful. So the old rat really didn't get the job done this morning. Fishing is really tough. It doesn't help that I don't have my frog rod, which that's a bigger problem. The rod that I'm using is a moderated combo for top water, but it's usually for walking baits or poppers or anything with treble hooks. So that makes sure with a frog or a rat, in this case, isn't the best. I can't really penetrate that hook good, but we're going to be going to some other spots today. See if we can catch the big ones. So let me show you guys the three combos that I brought out today. We have a medium diver right here. It dies from 5 to 8 foot. This is a little natural color. This is by 6 cents. It is a beautiful little crank bait. I don't know how this is going to work today just because of the stuff on the bottom. So I brought some backup rods, but we'll talk about this as well. And then I got an old big jig. You guys know I have to have a big jig. And that's, I mean, that's just a must when you're hunting for them big bass, man. Big bass energy, baby. And then right here, we have a swing crank. OK, this is by 6 cents as well. Let me tell you, this dives 2 to 4 foot. If this is what I think it is, now listen to this, hear that. If this is actually what I think it is, this will be a bank fishing slayer. I mean a slayer. I don't know if it is what I think it is, but we're going to give it a shot. And we're going to actually start off with it. Let's actually see how this, I've never used it before. Oh my gosh. OK. There was no need for that other crank bait I tied on. Dude, dude, there's a game over. This is big bass slayer. I promise you. Dude, we're going to hook it, dude. Guys, yeah, it's on today with this thing. I could totally see a big bass gobbling this thing up. My heart about stopped for a second there. Caught me an old stick pounder. Just get the work down. No way. On the swing that quick. Gosh, dude, I knew it. He's not big. He ain't bad. It's two pounder. Look how fat that thing is. Dude, we just got out of here. I just had a feeling, man. I said, if this thing is what I think it is, then it's going to happen. And it's exactly what I think it is. That is like the bank fishing machine right there. I already know. This is my first time throwing it. You guys are going to see that thing a lot because I haven't seen anything on the market like that. Look at that. Look how fat he is. Beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Look at him wiggling, doing a little dance. Look at that. Big bass energy dance, baby. All right. That's a beautiful little fish. She's about a pound and a half. He ain't quite two pounds. But look at his fat belly. Let's get him back. That's awesome to get the monkey out for back. Beautiful, man. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Starter off just like that. Straight up fatties. I can't believe it, man. I didn't even throw eight casts of this thing. It's already munched. That's exactly what I thought. When I saw this, I was like, man, I've had it for a while, too. And this is exact. Oh, gosh. Especially trying new baits. Got to love that. I had to put the chatter donkey down for a second. I was throwing away too much, man. That's all I was throwing. So I was like, I want to try something new today. And this is perfect. Look at that big thing. Gosh. All right, big jig. It's time to go through. So you guys just saw what I did. I sat there through the crankbait for a bit. And now I'm going to go back with a slower bait. Yet again, with a big profile, this is for a big bass. And we're going to cover the water that we did with the crankbait. Maybe if fish is a little bit more lethargic, he wants something slower. So that's exactly what we're about to do. There he is, big. Let's go. Any of that big is two pounds, though. Gosh. Dude, that bite is awesome, man. I knew this thing was going to get it. I threw so many casts. You got to piss them off. You got to get them to react. And you catch a beautiful bass like that. His eyes are huge. Oh, yeah. On the swank, man. It's just getting it done today. Can't really get them to commit to the jig. Got to show them a reaction bait. There he goes. God, that's awesome, right there. I thought he was a lot bigger. Fish number two on the old swank. This is exactly what I thought it was, man. God. Can't believe it. OK. I love that right there. OK, so I'll show you guys what I'm fishing. Opens up over here into the main water. And this is like a little canal that gets back into a pocket. And the way that this canal sits, let me show you about my hands, is on each side of the bank. We're standing right here. This is the other side of the bank, which is right there. It layers off, and it creates a bowl in the bottom. So it's almost like a little ditch. And that's exactly what I was doing with this crank bait, is tossing it down there to see if I can get any of those fish to trigger off. And today, with how they're acting, I can just tell that they need a reaction to commit. I mean, both this fish I'll be caught are the same way. They need a reaction. The jig fish, he never ate it because it wasn't super aggressive. What we're trying to do is piss those fish off. And the one good thing about this bait that we're using is to listen. Listen to that hard knock, man. It's perfect. And this fish are tearing it up, man. So as you guys know, last time I was right here, I hooked a five pounder. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Digging on the red rattle trap. Oh my gosh. Big, big, he barely hooked. Big, big. Look how barely he's hooked. Look at how he is barely hooked. Oh my gosh. We've got to get a weight on this guy. That's a five pounder. Look at that. Look how fat. All right, zeroed out. Are you kidding me? My weight skills, man. Five pounds, one ounce. We're going to swim back down to the depth. Into the depths, man. So we're going to try the old swank and see if there's another bigging off this boat ramp. Come on, man. I want a bigging. We caught two decent ones, but I want a bigging, man. At least four pounds. I mean, at least. Crave them for a bigging. And this bait is fairly big, man. Look at it compared to my hand. It's like a big, big profile. That's why I really like it. And I think this is going to be something I'm going to start fishing with a lot. Come on. Let's get it, boy. Yep. Oh, he's another. Oh, gosh, gosh, that was not bad. It's about two pounds. Let's go off that tree. Oh, man. Let's go. Dude, this thing is killing him. That is an easy two-pounder. The freaking swank. I think it's going to be the new chatter-donk. I'm not going to lie. We haven't caught any biggings on it yet, but I just know that they'll eat that. Look at that right there. Let's get a weight on him. He's not too. You tricked me, you little turd. I'd say he's a pound and a half to... I'm going to say, all right, this is what I'm going to say. One pound. All right, I'm going to guess one pound, 10 ounces. Oh, my gosh. He's almost two pounds. One pound, 14 ounces. Two ounces away from two pounds. I was pretty accurate there. I thought he was a lot smaller. He's fat, though. See his little belly? These are like healthy fish out here, man. No giants, but good quality fish. And we just don't complain about that when kicking their ass. Look at that. Oh, that's awesome. That swank is killing it, man. That's how to feel him. I tied that sucker on, never thrown it before, and now my confidence is going so... Once I get my confidence up in this bait, that's when I feel like we're going to start catching the big ones. Once I get my big bass energy up, man, hashtag big bass energy all over the internet, baby. We're creating a movement. I caught him right there. See how I threw right past that tree? There's a little bit of shade, and I'm predicting that he was right under that tree right there. And he saw this going by, and he had to react to it. He was either going to eat it or he wasn't, and he decided to come out and swipe at it. He didn't eat it as good as the other ones ate it. Look at that. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. A big fish just ate something under there. Dude. I mean, something destroyed top water. My bait was messed up. I was just twining around, and then far back under that tree, something just nailed something. Oh my gosh, look at this. Look at this. Oh my gosh, I caught a worm. Dude, do I got a fish? What in the heck do I have? All right, where's the other piece of the line? I got us an old Texas rig. Look at that. Basic little old Texas rig. Ew, it's all nasty. All right, what we're going to do, I'm going to throw this away. I might keep that hook. It's not the best hook, but we're going to set this for right now. We're going to set that right here. I never leave trash out guys, but I'm going to come back when I walk back through and pick that up. It's one thing I try to do when fishing is pick up after myself, but not only pick up after myself, but pick up after other people. Oh, oh, oh, oh, guys, guys. I cannot believe I just did that. That was so big. That fish choked it and it broke my line. He choked it all the way in the back of his throat, dude. That was a freaking trophy. I hope the GoPro saw it. Oh my God, that was a freaking trophy. And he ate the swank, he broke me right off. Oh my God, please have another one in the back of my truck Noah. Please haven't, all right, we're leaving our stuff right here. We're going to go back to the truck and throw this away. I don't know, yeah. Now I'm done with that.
