 Hey yo what's poppin' people, welcome to another video. Thank you guys so much for clicking on this one. The first thing I would like to say, we are about to drop a lot of clothing, a lot of new merch, sweatshirts, hats, shirts, beanies, literally the whole deal around 10 different designs and pretty much everything. I'm about to release a lot of stuff. So you guys need to stay tuned for that. If you guys haven't followed my Instagram, be sure to go follow it. But anyways, if you guys are wondering what we are doing today, I'm gonna be showing you guys how to catch 10 to 15 times more bass or more fish in general. I wanted to just say bass. I wanted to say like 10 to 15 times more fish. I actually filmed the video the other day. You guys wanna go check it out, I'll actually link it right here or I'll link it below. But I was using little tiny micro baits which you catch crappie, bluegill, bass. You pretty much catch everything on it, like literally everything. So right now we all know, this time of year is pretty tough, it's hard to catch the fish. It might be super cold outside. Today actually feels pretty good, but the fishing's been kind of rough in the ponds lately. So this is one technique you can take to pretty much any pond, where you go, wherever you go and catch fish on it. I mean, you can catch anything. That's why this bait's so good. But let me take you over there, show you what we're gonna be using, and then we're gonna go catch the fish. So this time of year, it can really beat your head against the wall to catch fish. I mean, it can be really hard and it can be aggravating and it'll make you guys literally not wanna fish. And that's why I'm showing you guys this video is because you guys are gonna be able to just hook stuff. So if you guys wanna go out there and catch fish, doesn't matter the size, it can be big, small. I mean, you will catch literally anything we'll bite this bait. And let me show you guys. So this is actually called the old electric chicken. All right, the electric chicken, that's a juicy electric chicken right there. As you guys can tell, just a little tiny, small, croppy bait. And this is on a 1-16th ounce little jighead right here. So very light. All right, so we're pretty much targeting croppy, bluegill, sunfish, bass, whatever's big enough to pretty much eat this bait. We're gonna be catching today. So you're gonna experiment with micro bass, you're gonna catch bigger bass as well. I actually caught a four pounder the other day on it and they were just tearing it up. But we're gonna work this a few different ways today and I'm gonna see how they're biting it and how they're buying it best. Maybe you can take it or take a little croppy bait to your pond and see if you can catch some fish. But let's go ahead and throw it into the water and see if we can catch some. All right, so this is the first little cast or flip. So flip right out there. Let's see if we can get some. Notice I'm throwing this on some light spinning gear. I would normally throw it on like a croppy rod, but I'm having to throw it just on my regular spinning combo. If you guys are wondering what this is, it's just a little fate black on a Kree GT spinning reel. I have just a parade of fluorocarbon leader. We are about to see if we can catch some fish, y'all. It's gonna be fun. We're gonna catch a lot of everything and I'm curious to see if we can hook a big bass today. Oh man. Oh man, what we got here? This one feels decent. Oh, it's a bass. There we go. He is not a bad one. He is not a bad one. Ah, we'll take him for the first fish of the day. Look at that. Right there, guys. How's that guys can tell? Just a little baby. Woo, woo. A baby croppy jig right there. This guy is the squirmiest thing. I swear, hold on. That is the first fish of the day right there, just a little baby guy. But that was pretty quick. What I did is I did have the electric chicken on. I switched it to this little shad profile. Look at his lips right there. Look at that. Gosh, that's awesome. That is crazy. But I switched that little shad profile one. I did break off the other one. Right there, caught him right away. Just a few casts. He slammed that thing. It's so fun on those little white baits like that and light tackle. These fish just fight so hard even when they're small. But that's awesome for the first one today. We're gonna catch a few more of these and I'm gonna show you what I'm doing and how I'm getting the bites on this. There it goes. There he is. There we go, baby. They fight so hard on these though. They aren't even big. I'm telling you, it catches fish right there. Look at that. Perfect. Another little bass. Crazy right here. I'm hoping to get like a little crappier. Bluegill catch something a little bit different, but this just shows, you know, the micro baits, they catch bass. I mean, a lot of people say, you know, don't throw small baits. You know, they only catch small fish. This isn't that. I'm gonna tell you a majority of the fish in this pond are around this size. If I was on a fish, or if I was out of pond with, you know, a lot more bigger fish, then I'd promise you this thing will catch them. Like, it just will. But I wanna show you guys a little bit of how I'm working this, and pretty much how I'm doing it right now. I haven't really dialed in these fish yet. Like, I've caught two, but I haven't really dialed them in yet to really figure out, you know, how they really wanna eat this thing. So this is how I'm working this thing. I'm just throwing, that was a close one. I'm just throwing this bait out there. And there is a lot of grass on the bottom of this pond, even right now in the wintertime. There's still a good bit of grass on the bottom. There's just a bunch of crap, really. A bunch of leaves, because all the leaves are gone from the trees, and just a bunch of stuff that, there we go. Another batch. I was trying to explain, matter of, speaking of weeds, I mean, you could tell by the bait right there, just a bunch of nasty stuff on the bottom. And I know a lot of people are gonna comment about that because a lot of ponds, you know, have a bunch of nasty stuff, and it's hard to throw certain baits there without getting a bunch of crap on your bait. So that's pretty much how I'm working this thing right now, is I'm throwing it out, and I'm really popping it hard. Like I said, I'll try it again. I throw it out, and I'm really popping this thing off the bottom, not really letting it sit too long. In some areas where I know there's not a lot of grass, and I know it's kind of, you know, sandy bottom, there's not really much down there, I'm gonna really slow this thing down and barely wiggle it. But for right now, and how I've caught those three fish, is I'm pretty much popping this thing off the bottom, and it's just shooting right, holy, I had another bite right there. It's just popping right off the bottom, and it's such a quick little, you know, the bait's just popping right off. It looks like a little bait fish on the bottom, just popping up. And there's one thing that's very important when throwing these little micro jig heads like this for these little crappie baits, and the most important, speaking of it, you just bit my tail off right there, but the most important thing is the movement of your rod, and obviously I'm just using a little bass setup right here. I'm sure to be a little bit different with a little crappie rod, or you know, a little smaller rod, but you guys gotta understand with that tiny, tiny bait, that the slight motion with your rod, like just a little bit like this, is making that bait really come up about three to four inches off the bottom. So just jerking it like this, I'm popping it pretty hard and aggressive, just because there's a lot of crap on the bottom, and if it's all my lure, I kinda wanna pop it off. You gotta understand when I pop my rod like that, that bait's coming at least the solid six to seven inches off the bottom, which could be a really productive way to catch those fish as well, just because it's a reaction bite. Say he's looking at it, and you pop your rod, just like I was showing you guys with a jig in that one video, where you're really popping your rod hard, and that bait's shooting up, and it just causes a reaction bite. A little reaction strike for this fish to just commit to it. But that's something just to keep in note, you know, if the fish are a little more lethargic today, or whatever it is, I'm gonna barely take that rod. Like I mean, just like this, just barely to where that thing's just barely moving. Just keep that in note, it's not like a regular jig, like a half ounce jig, or a shaky head, or even a drop shot. This is a lot smaller of a bait, so just be careful when you're working that thing. And if you're not getting bites, slow down. Especially this time of year, that's the biggest word, is to slow down. And I promise you, you'll catch some more fish. But let's go down to the bank. I don't know if that's exactly how they're eating it. I mean, you have caught three fish, but who knows, I might be able to slow this thing down even more, instead of really popping it and getting that reaction bite, and I'll probably catch more fish. But we're gonna experiment with that today. Let's keep going down to this bank and see what we can catch. Hey man, these little guys bite. I'm telling you, they don't play my games. This is why this is so much fun, guys. You will catch, listen. If I was out here with a drop shot or a Sanko, I don't know if you guys remember the last time I came out here, but it was horrible. Like it was horrible. I had to painfully soak. I think it was a Sanko I was using. And I had to painfully soak it. I only had two bites all day and it was horrible. And when you downsize to something like that, that they can just eat, it's smaller. You know, it doesn't take a lot of effort. It's so small it can fit in their mouth. You'll just catch so many fish. I promise you the big ones bite it, but another little bass. It's number four already. I mean, we haven't even been fishing that long. That is just, oh, that's awesome. They're so fun to catch too. It's just, they fight so well on this little tiny bait like this on a light rig. Oh man, did they fight good. It just feels awesome. It's like every single time. Doesn't matter if it's big or small. It feels like you got a big fish on. So that's always a bonus. But man, they're tearing this thing up so far. I'm excited. We haven't even hit the good side of the pond yet. I don't know if you guys can see over there, but there's a lot of wind way back in that corner. And that's where they're gonna be. I promise you that's where a lot of the fish are in this pond. And I'm super excited to go back there. The only reason why I started over here is because the wind's not as bad and the audio. You know, I don't really wanna mess with the audio. We are gonna go over there and I promise you they'll be stacked up in that corner. It's gonna be good. Little baby bass. I've yet to catch anything but a bass. Look how dark that fish is. It's crazy, he has a little spot on him like something to try to get him. Well, baby. There should be every cast right there because then narrows down. Uh-oh. There he is, right where he should have been. Oh! Fish number two in the same spot. That is another dark fish. So let me tell you a little bit of something right here. So, all right. Let me put my pole down so I can spot him. You see that fish right there? Just like the last one he was caught in the same spot and that is a stubby one, ain't it? Little baby. But you see the colors on him, he's so dark. This is the one spot on the pond where grass really keeps around this time of year. What he's doing is sitting around the edge of that grass. So what you have here, you have all this wind, as you guys can tell, it's talking about it on the other side. Pushing up against his bank and more importantly, pushing right up in this cove right here. And this is important to note. I mean, this is something that you can take wherever you fish, don't care if it's a lake or pond, wherever. Wherever that wind's positioned and pushing back in, especially when you find like a little pocket like this, where it's just pushing in, that is key right there. It's just gonna push all that bait fish, push all that stuff right back to where those fish are. And those bass are gonna be sitting here to ambush. But this time of year, especially in the winter, I actually have a video coming out soon. I don't know if I already posted it or not, but I talk about, you know, this fishing and the deepest part of the ponds and in the lakes and how I really figured that out in ponds. And say I see all this little cove goes back here. So you've got each side of this bank. And what it does is it's pretty shallow on the banks. So envision this. So we're sitting on this side of the bank. Then you have this side of the bank, which is over there. Say they're both coming down and you're gonna create a deep point right here on the bottom. And those is pretty much like a little ditch, I would call it in a pond. I just say it's just a little ditch. This fish are gonna tuck up in that, especially when there's grass. So they have cover down there. They have that ditch. They're gonna cradle up in that, especially when it's cold like this during the winter. And then you have all this wind pushing back in here. That is just perfect for a bass to sit down in. And that's really what I've been trying to figure out in this pond, because it's very shallow throughout the whole thing. But when you have these two necks, banking like that, it's gonna create just a little ditch. And say this pond's around five foot, even if in the middle right there is about seven, just a two foot drop off, and a shallow pond that is very, very important. And they will stack up in there. And that just shows I just proved it because I caught two fish in the same spot. And guess what? I'm about to pick up my bait right now. And we're gonna see if we can catch a third, maybe even fourth, maybe even fifth fish, right in that same spot. So I'm gonna throw right in the middle at the mouth of this thing, just right out there, where obviously it would be the deepest point to where they both neck together. And that's where those fish should all be stacked up. And that's where those two were. But when you find these fish stacked up like this, I'm telling you, it can be a slug fest. I mean, you can almost every cast sometimes. And you can really put a hurting on them. I'm telling you, just next time you go to one of your ponds, try to figure out where that deep area is, where it drops off and it has like a little ditch. That's what I'm calling them as a ditch. And go fish that out. And if you catch one, keep making that cast because there's gonna be more down there with them. So I'll just move back more in this cove where the wind's pushing in. And there's a problem that I had back here with this little bait is that there's a lot of grass. And this hook's so exposed, you know, it's just like a little jig head, like a little swim bait head, I mean, whatever. And the thing is the hook's exposed and it's gonna hook all that grass. So what I've been doing is I've been keeping it right above that grass and kind of just jerk in the top of my rod, trying to get a reaction bite. Just kind of swimming that thing. And this is a great time to tie on like a little, he had just a little white grub, a little curly tail on it. So to give it a little bit more movement, see this one just got that little twitch tail right there on the end of it, which is not bad. It really is. It looks like a little shad darting through the water. But if you had the little curly tail, I think it'll look a lot better. It'll give it a little bit more vibration, especially in those ponds that are a little bit dirtier. But it's just a little thing I wanted to show you guys, just in case, you know, running into that problem where there's a lot of grass and you don't really know what to do from there. Just by keeping that bait, moving your rod and reeling in and using it as more of a reaction bait, that's how you can get through that stuff and still cover a lot of water and try to at least catch those aggressive fish that live in there. All right, everybody, I think I'm about to sign off this video, but a few quick things to sum up this video and why I made it is because a lot of comments, a lot of people commenting like, no, I cannot catch fish, no, I cannot get bites. I filmed a video the other day with this little micro bait right here and it just was catching them, you know, it was catching everything, pretty much anything I bite. So if you guys are really having a hard time with the ponds, the lakes, wherever you're going to, I highly suggest you just whip out this little, you know, crappie bait, this little crappie jig and go to town. I mean, you got, you can get these at Walmart. I mean, really simple stuff. You just put a little soft plastic on a little crappie jig head just like this. I mean, this is probably like a couple dollars right here and it'll catch you whatever you want. So if you want to, even if it's, this is a good thing if you're wanting to take some friends out that have like never caught a fish or whatever it is, this would be the perfect bait for them to throw. You will catch a lot of fish. I promise you, if I came out here with a bass lure with how tough it is, I probably wouldn't catch them. You know, I probably wouldn't have caught as many. So I promise you, you will get more bites while throwing this. If you guys think I should do a challenge where I actually compare this bait right here, to like a bass lure and see which one catches more fish, let me know in the comments section below.

I love you guys so much. And I catch you guys in the next video. Get it up, get it up. Give it up, give it up. They gon' try it, they can't stop it. Eat it up, eat it up. Backman, backman, backman, they can't stop it.
