You know what I'm saying? So today, we're gonna do the dad challenge. I'm gonna go in and pick a bait and I know that my son's never fished before to take the challenge to the next level because he's always spanking my butt. Now we're gonna do this dad's way. Daddy Van Dam, let's get it. Yo, what's poppin' people? Welcome to another video. Daddy Van Dam today. Hashtags bring dad back. Back in the comment section. Big tattoo boy. You right. Boom baby. Get you some, man. Get you some. Boom baby. See that? See the shirt too? Hashtag the real deal. Yes sir, yes sir. We're going into Bass Pro Shop today. It's been a long time since I've actually filmed in this Bass Pro. I didn't really have an idea for today's video, so we're gonna walk in here and see what they got and he's gonna pick out my baits. I'm gonna wreck this fool. Alright, we're in the outdoor world. What are you doing? What you looking at? I thought you started that way here. You remember this? Yeah dude, that's the old days. First time you ever fished a little boat this size right here. Yeah. Small, old nitro. Little tiny nitro. Guys, we, like, people think differently. Like, oh no, it started off in a ranger. Guys, we worked our way up. But yeah, we started off in a tracker, ended up working up to a nitro, and then working up to a ranger, then another ranger, and then another ranger, so it's been a little process. But yeah. You remember how small it was? You had a slam pool of tackle in the first month. We could not squeeze another thing in there. Yeah, but tell them why we got rid of this to go get a nitro. We got beat up, bro. Noah would run me all around that lake all day long, sweating, hot, beating the death on Lake Lanier. Have you ever been to Lake Lanier? Do you see this little-sized boat? It's a party lake. Riding a toothpick through the lake. And he would run me all over the lake to where I couldn't take it anymore. He'd drop me off at the dock and call Grandpa. And then he'd run Grandpa all over the lake till he couldn't take it anymore. So finally, we upgraded boats to try to get out of this lake. And one day we got caught in the middle of Saturday afternoon traffic. And by the time we got back to the dock, we had ripped the trolling motor completely off the boat. Yeah, that was about that time. We didn't have the nitro too long, just like, that's when me and him start fishing tournaments a lot on Lake Lanier. The nitro was good. It was a decent boat, you know? But the Ranger, man, it was so nice. We ended up getting a good deal on it from somebody that we knew. And so, yeah, let's go ahead and get this video started, though. So, Dad, what the heck are you going to pick out for me today? I am going to scour this place inch by inch to find something that I know Noah's never fished before to level the playing field between me and him. Daddy Van Dam, fixing to put the weapon on him. I'm looking for something crazy bizarro, like, I don't know, something that we saw. I saw it one time, like, either a spider or a dragonfly. Oh, gosh. Or you already fished a snake, so that's out. So I want to do something totally oddball just to make this even, so we both have to learn it at the same time, the same speed, so you can catch the most fish. You're in the crappie section, man. I ain't fishing for no crops. If I was a dragonfly and I was in bass pro shot, where would I be? If I was a spider and I was in bass pro shot, where would I be? So as you guys know, I've been throwing mag drafts in the past. This is called a, how do you even say that, dude? What the heck is that? I've never seen that before. It's got a feather hook. It's got a feather hook on a sponge bait. I'm just going to say this mag draft, you need to change this to mag swole. That's what I should say. So you guys are not going to believe this. What's going on around here? I'm going to have to send strike king. This is ridiculous. They're going to have to put me on the payroll, bro. Do you see what I see in the distance here? You will not believe what they're advertising. They're literally advertising the poppin perch on a poster. This is ridiculous. I hate to say it, bro, but you have to admit, dude, I had to have sold out of them. I would get so many DMs every day. The poppin pickle is right there. Come on, guys. That is the wackiest color. I did not see anybody fishing that before this. Come on. And the reason I found it out is because I did a weird lure fishing challenge. Like I was calling it a weird lure. I didn't think it was going to slay. Now everybody's throwing them, man. It's the juice. I got a DM the other day of a guy, like over 20 pound bags, smoked them on the poppin pickle. That thing catches the giants. I got to say that. She's looking at big Steve. Look at that. Come on, this is a bil. Oh, it's a bilzer. That's the juice. We've caught a ton of fish on those. Look at that one. What are you saying? Dude, look at that one. God almighty. Dude, what the heck? You thought the last one was big. You know how Isaac's obsessed with the S-Wavers? Yes. So you see how the S-Waver looks right there? Look at this. No, no, no. Look at Basper's house version. That's literally the S-Waver. 2.0. Savage Gear Rat. I got a few of them. I was having them film the video. You already fished with this, too? Yeah. No, I haven't fished with it, but I have a few of them. That's a video to come. If you guys want to see me take out that rat right there, I got a few. Let me know in the comment section below. I still have a bat. I got to make a video over a bat. I got to make a video over a duck. A bat? A rat? A duck? Yeah, and I just did a turtle. Last episode was a turtle. Looks like you're going to have to just pick me out of chatterbait, man. Okay, this is probably the biggest plot twist I've seen all day. See that tiny? Look how small it is compared to my hand. But look at the rod. Wow. That's interesting right there. Bill Dance. I want to know the secrets behind this bad boy. So, since my dad is deciding to pick me out of Dragonfly, look at this. They've been looking over there. I'd have to say probably about 20 minutes. This man, he's a trooper to be honest with hunting a dragonfly in best pro shops. I don't even think they carry lunk around here, so that's a problem. If my dad, you know, I'm going to tell him, you know, he has to pick me out of chatterbait, if not, but maybe we can find like a dragonfly on Walmart or something? I don't know. We want something crazy like this. Something giant. Yeah, well, I got one that's got warts on it and everything else. Looks like a frog. Dad, no way I can cast a fly lure on a baitcaster. I'm sorry, but that is not happening. This guy is a very, very kind gentleman. But man, there is no way we're casting supply fishing lures on a baitcaster. No way. There's a big plot twist in this video. I'm about to show you. We got to go pay. I cannot believe what he picked out. This is honestly one of those things where I would have never expected him to do what he just did, but I guess we're going to have to see. So we're going to go ahead and go check out and then we're going to be fishing. Hopefully we're going to catch some fish on this. This is definitely the weirdest fishing lure I have ever used, hands down. 100%. And I promise him as well. So, let's get outside and then I want to show you. So we just got out of Bass Purr shops right now. He's got the secret juice. I'm sorry, but he said I can't show you guys yet. And he's getting busted. You're fishing with it too. So, you know, we're both busted on this one. I guess we're going to find out. I'm going to catch you guys at the pond. Stay tuned. This is a big reveal. I've got no on the ropes. He has no idea how we're even going to fish this stuff. The first part is this adjustable. Why are you whispering? Thank you. First part is this adjustable clear bobber. You actually run your line through it and you can fill it up with different lengths of water. Supposedly they won't see the clear bobber and help keep our bait on top because what we bought was we actually went to the fly fishing section and we got some dragon flies. They're super lightweight. They're super cool. They're super awesome. Never fished anything like this before in our life. So, we're going to see what we can do. Hopefully, this is the key to daddy Van Dam's smoking Noah. Is that the weirdest lure you've ever used? This is the weirdest thing I've ever even thought about using. It's made out of some kind of foam. It's got little jiggly eyes on it. It's got wings. It's actually pretty cool. The fly fisherman can use it. We're going to have to rig it up with this bobber, giving it enough weight we can actually cast it out. And we're throwing it on bait caster combos. On bait caster combos. It's a little windy today. This is a super lightweight. So, I'm a little worried about it, but fixing to pull this off and send Noah packing. So, one thing I want you guys to think about, the pond that we're at today, I fished for a very long time. Every time we usually come out here, right out here is a big grass flat. And there's a ton of dragonflies that just cruise around there, hang around that tall grass on that side. And we've seen both of us. I know you've seen it when you came here. Bass come up and eat dragonflies. So, I actually think that the bait he picked today is going to be the juice. Is that a bee? Nope. It's a bug on my hand. Definitely my weirdest, the weirdest lure I've ever used. One of the weirdest lure he's ever used, too. So, let's get it popping. So, supposedly put your line through the bobber. I'm trying to get the line through the bobber. I'm not knowing. You're what? I'm not knowing. So, I'm not very coordinated here about doing this. Ah, mighty. Okay, so you see this bobber is clear. It's got a hole all the way through it. So, supposedly you put your line through the bobber and we're going to do the small end forward because, of course, we're going to be pulling it back to us and forward. So, once the line goes through the bobber, if I can get it through there, it's not going to go. What are you doing? Whoa! You did that? You got to turn up the suction. Kid-friendly now, come on. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to give it, I don't know, what is that, about three foot? Yeah. We'll give it about three foot of distance. Are you going to be able to cast? Yeah, that's about good. You pull the bobber apart and you twist this. What that does is there's a rubber band in there and it's locking it down on your line so the rubber band is twisting and I don't know if you can see that on the camera, but that's what holds onto your line and then it snaps back into place. Now the bobber won't move on the line because the rubber band's twisting around it and holding onto it. Professional. Pretty awesome deal. And it has some weight to it so maybe we can get a good cast out of this. What I have basically here is a three foot leader and I'm going to mount my dragonfly on that. If you can see this, it's a pretty trick bait. I'm assuming this thing floats because it's made out of foam so I'm sure it floats. Then the bobber is going to give me the weight that it takes to cast out there. And the guy did say, this bobber, if we're having trouble casting it we can actually fill that with water so it's going to add more weight onto it. We might have to do that depending on how this goes. Especially with the wind today. I'm going to do the old famous Noah Pescatelli knot. The uni. Always remember, you have to kiss your line. There you go. That's the setup. We're going to try it. We might have to adjust the leader depending on how far it works. Let's see how this works. I'm using him as a test monkey so he's going to give it a cast. It's not going to work. It's not going to adjust mine, you know what I'm saying? It's a little light. We're going to put some water in there. A little big Steve up before a rig mine. Oh gosh. You're going to want a little more than that. It's about half. You'll give that a try and I can let some out if you want me to. I'm going to get out of your way before you go cast. Oh, that's perfect, ain't it? I mean, that's a pretty good cast. I'm pretty sure the bass is going to go for the bobber or whatever. I don't know. It's a clear bobber. He's probably going to have his eye on that. Dude, that thing looks so freaking good. Watch it. You better watch out, dude. I'm going to give this a shot. Oh yeah. I like it. I don't know about that front piece. I wasn't even recording. The guy's my first cast. I almost ruined it all. Dude, I can't even. What the heck, bro? And then casting this in the trees, there ain't no way. This is a real challenge. We've done some challenges in the past, but this is a real challenge. Using a fly. Are you kidding me? No bass fishing lures. Bass fishing challenge on a bait caster with a three-foot leader. Should be interesting. Oh yeah. That was the cast. What? He ate your bobber? I had a feeling that was going to happen, man. He actually, like, took the bobber under. He's going to eat it. Dude, there's dragonflies hovering over this stuff right now. As we speak. Oh my gosh, he's under it, dude. He's under it. Oh, I spooked him. This would be a lot easier in a spinning combo, but guess what? We like challenges here. I'm kicking the best TV boys. I swear Snake just fell from that tree. Ooh. Ooh, he ate my bobber. He ate my bobber. Oh my gosh. I knew that was going to happen, man. He destroyed the bobber. Oh. Oh, what the heck? I got too excited. I just lifted up. He took it under. It might have been a pan fish. Two hours later. I have an idea, dude. I think I'm going to set my dragonfly in that hole. Just hover it over the top. Like a real dragonfly. I'm getting soaked in the making. Muddy and soaked. Oh, I can't get it out there. The weight of my, trying my best. Now I got crap on my dragonfly. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I landed it perfect. I landed it perfect. There's a little bit of crap on my dragonfly, but that could be natural, right? The dragon bob. Wait. The dragon bob is more. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. I'll layer these whenever best is said. Oh my God. Oh my God. He's looking at it. Two of them looking at it. I think you want it. That's perfect cast. Perfect cast. Come on fish. Destroyed my bobber dragonfly. Oh my God. I'm on his nose. I'm on his nose. He's getting pissed. I'm not moving at all. Just listen with your ears right now. I got about four bass looking at it. My bait is about less than a half a foot from the bank floating. It's a good one too. Why did I stand up? Why did I stand up? Why did I stand up? This is insane. Like we're finally getting something. There's so many bass. Eat it. There's three on it. You got one? Oh my God. He's just got one. He's just coming on the dragonfly. All right. Achievement unlocked. Next level. Level up, baby. I can't believe it. All right, Noah. What do you got to say about the old man here getting one up on you so far? You really want to... You really... That fish wasn't even. Wait. He wasn't hooked. I just carried him halfway around the lake. He was just holding on. You really wanted to know my opinion? He was just holding on for me to smoke you. I do not care. Honestly. I'd let you catch 20 more to be fair with me. This has been the hardest challenge I've ever done. Out of 800 videos. I thought I was literally going to have to let this video just like zero. Like this is my first video where I had zero. That's what I thought that was coming to. Like you caught the baby dragonfly bass. Holy cow. I can't believe it. I've never... I'm going to say this. I saw you move your bobber and I'm like, oh, he must be on to something. Because I hit the bobber like three or four times. So I stole your idea, but... What? Did you do it like this? Yeah. That's how I caught it. Just like that. I gave it a little slack. I was just literally looking at five or six of them the whole time. I was like, going with it. They were following it. They would look at it, but they just weren't coming in.
