 Lookin' out here in E.T. now, these Texas y'all. It is a blooming big time. Everything's green. I think we're gonna have to send it on some bass fishing adventures out here for the next few days just because when you start seeing that, you know the bass. They are just, they are up there doing it. Interesting fact, did you know that Turkey's pretty much will gobble at any kind of noise? They're coming off the roost, you shut your car door, give them a honk, give them a hee hee, and they'll just gobble back at you just because. Welcome back to the tailgate everybody and the channel and the BK Ranch. That's where I'm at right now y'all. Today is a little, it's an interesting day. You know, I got word that there was a charity event out here at the BK Ranch. I just decided to come check it out. There's a lot of ponds out here, subsequently though, that need to be dangled. And specifically, there is a a dedicated crappie bluegill pond that I have heard about that doesn't get touched a whole lot and could be I have to have some just monster crappies in it. And every species, every time a year is a different thing to figure out and crappie in the spring is another thing to figure out. You guys can come out here and fish if you want to. I know some of you that have and caught big fish. But also, they have beef. They have the beef. Not just regular beef, they have very good wagyu style beef. Delicious, delicious cows that, you know, it's an expensive beef but very fatty, delicious marbleization cow. So they raise those out here and they have the big bass. They have a nice facility and they're having all these events out here as well just to help people out because they're great people. I watched Gary's speech at his induction at the Bass Hall of Fame. I was able to see that last year two years ago and I don't think he talked about himself at all. All he talked about was all of his employees and his family and just how great everyone else was. He's just a very humble guy. Anyway, great human being. Plus he's got these great ponds. Wagyu! Yeah, you don't even know. You don't even know. You want to go dangle? Alright, come on, you can carry it. I'll hold the hook. Yep, watch the dip. Avery's going off to catch her first fish. First bluegill, y'all. I don't know what channel it's going to be on. It might be on their new family channel. But anyways, we got Avery rigged up with a little pink jig head. Actually one that you guys sent in. A little pink jig head right there and some crappie nibbles, y'all. So you just never know when the crappie, you might need some crappie stuff. Circle of life here at the BK Ranch. Got some great fertilization of the waters, making some good grasses. These fisheries are managed here. There's multiple ponds. There's bass that are spawning that have already spawned. We've got massive bluegill out here and massive crappies. And I know some of these crappies. They've got to be on the spawn. I've got a golden opportunity here to get, maybe get a PB crappie. The thing is, the thing I'm trying to learn is like, where do they spawn? And I would think they would like a hard bottom as well, like the bass. Nice protected cove. Little eighth ounce road runner with a LFT lure sickle tail micro shad. I think that's what it's called. We'll walk around the bank here. See if we can stir up. Oh yeah, baby. Docked angler. Look at all these fry, dude. Lost fry here, too? Up in the fry. Oh, gosh. Didn't even go out of the fry here. This crappie might be done. Okay, crappie, y'all. They like, they like them some reeds. They do like to spawn up around reeds. I got one. I got one. I got one. Oh, shoot now. Yeah, it's a bass though. Dagger. Okay, that was a large mouth. Oh, gosh. I just had another one. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm just getting a couple bites from there. Alrighty, y'all. We got ourselves a party tune here. Ready to dangle. This is a the dangle express. Get that, get that trill motor out for me, so we don't... This is a dangle. Avery, it's your first time on a boat. Are you excited? Look, you're floating. Is it going? Is it turned on? No. There we go. There we go. We're going to turn that down. Okay, it's just straight on. We are just stuck on right now. I don't know what is happening. This should be interesting. This is interesting. Okay. I'm confused. Is it turned? Turned is momentary on is what it should be. Right? And then here's the power. But there's no cut off. The pedal is stuck. There it goes. Maybe? No, it's locked now. Okay. It's a motor guide is the issue. Well, here's the... It has no medium. It's just straight high bypass. So we fried a circuit on the motor midget here. Now we're just in full blown high speed mode. Can I turn it though? Don't turn it too hard now. Don't want to whip us around. Good family times. Can you imagine the googentune? That would be like... The googentune. The googentune. Who's that telling me drugs to even behind a boat? Don't worry, dad's going to lose his mind now. The troll motor doesn't work. Oh yeah, there goes one. Oh baby, yeah. Okay, hold on, dad. Dad's really got a lot going on here. This is not a normal contraption we got here. There's a stump. Easy, easy. Don't even hit it. Brace yourselves. Oh, there we go. No, it's a bass. Oh my gosh. Hey boy. Oh gosh, I lost him. I thought it was a big crappie first. Oh, I got something. Oh, it came off. Dude, it felt good. Got him. Hooked up on something. Could be a bluegie. Looks like a monster bluegie. Oh my goodness. Look at that fatty. That's a big one. Wow, and there's three hooks in that little mouth. Anybody got some pliers? We got crappies and some bluegills. Wow. That was a pretty one there. Absolute pretty one. Avery, you want to give it a kiss? Avery. You want to kiss it? Not yet? Okay. Something big just moved underneath. What are we going to do if we hook into an actual large bass? I don't know. Got no troll motor control. I don't know, but I just farted. We had to really turn on his engine. Okay. Oh, I got another one. Oh my gosh, that's a bass. It's a big one. Oh my gosh. Dude, I couldn't move it. I'm stuck there. Throw you on a number one, Matt. Or a little crappie spinner. Something will get on. Tell me you got another one. No. No, not even close. I'm hooked on a lily pad. Oh, got one. Got one. Largie. Oh, I had another one chase it. You did? By the stump? Huge stump here. Largie going in the stump. Come here, baby. Oh, got you on that googin' mile now. Well, y'all, little meps. Getting her done. Got some other bites on this flat, too. This is fun. I don't know what you're going to catch. Monster crappies. Oh, got something. Crappie time. No, it's a bluegill. Big, beautiful bluegill. Dang, I thought it was a crappie at first. I need to give him one of them one, dude. Dude, I got two more. Rooster tails, man. I could feel more hitting it. Oh, what is it? Avery. Want to reel it in? Oh, that's a purdy one. That's a purdy one. There you go. Lift it up, lift it up, lift it up. Yeah! Look what you got. Look at that purdy one there. We just had ourselves some delicious Texas BBQ up at the BK Lodge and in. Hanging out with a couple of the families here at this organization is called United Heroes. So what they do is they... It's a charity. Military families. But it's all about the kids. United Heroes, that is the organization. And there are some fishing freaks in the group. So, you know, they're good peeps. And one of them told me that they caught a over 2-pound black crappie. I got to come back here another time. I'm sure I will. As a father of a daughter, I also understand that there comes a point in time during the day where it's time for a nap. It's just time. It's just time to move on. Fishing is over for the day and I have got to get back to my wife and daughter. You know them as a WSG enemy. Made it back to the treehouse. How we doing, little girl? How we doing, little girl? How's that starfish doing? You look just like a starfish. Look at your eyeballs. Hey, you look just like... All right, Amy, I got a question for you. You look ready for the... You look ready for the camera! My gosh! Amy, how old do you think you're going to be when you catch your first fish? Okay. Give me a response for two years old. Just give me something. You're not sure when you're going to get your dangling on? Well, you're already getting a little practice here with your fish. I know you thoroughly enjoy putting your soft chewy gums on the little yellow fish there. The little starfish that doesn't really count for a fish. She's three years old and she caught her first fish. So, you got some work to do. You got to get the motor skills ready. Don't worry, Dad. Dad's going to have you prepped. Don't worry, Amy. You're going to be eating your first white bass pretty soon. I guarantee you, Mom's eating some so you've already got some in your system. Speaking of Dad's taking kids fishing, LFD, he has been gracious enough to bring over some cedar trees for the garden. You don't want me to leave? Take our little tree down to our hole. So, this is kind of gross, but I've got this septic tank uphill and the overflow pipe that runs downhill kind of settles around where I am right now. And it's always marshy and it is just fertile. The grass is super green. This is where the hogs always come through. They're getting grubs and stuff. The ground is super aerated. Honestly, could probably go Cypress Street pretty good. But, we've got some cedars. Dad had some extra ones, so I'm going to plant them here. This is like one of the only places that doesn't have trees. It's super fertile. I figured why not. Got a little extra nutrients going down there if you know what I'm saying. The peachy sun is going down beautiful day. Check out this new bird feeder I got y'all. Cardinals have been loving that sucker. Just springing life is springing up. Check out my cedars. Young cedars going to come to life. It's getting so dark out here now. So, hopefully when Emmy's like 10 years old, they'll be nice and beautiful and really add something to the yard. But, till then, they're pretty much just little twigs. Before I let you go, I just want to say shout out to the BK Ranch. They're doing great things over there. They're growing delicious beef. They have amazing lake management with huge bass. Huge bluegills, obviously, as you saw today. And big crappie, which I did not get today, but I will be back. And if you guys want to go check that out, I'll leave a link down below where you can go check out BK Ranch for yourself. And also, they're supporting good causes like they just did today and they continue to do. Don't forget to subscribe right here to the channel, because we are about to do some serious dangling coming in the next few videos. I've got an exciting announcement to make also next week. Something that I've been wanting to do for a while and involves you guys as well. So, stay tuned for that. Hit the ding dongs for all the notifications and I will see you.
