Also, hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. Today we're bringing out the big boat. The big boat is back. It's been a minute since I've been on it. I actually left it at my parents' house in Atlanta so I was kind of stranded without it for a moment. And I actually got my parents with me today. So we got a mom right here. Then we got- The big boat and the big Steve. The big Steve, let's go over to this trash talker real quick, I know he's gonna talk so much trash. You gotta get an up-close shot on this trash talker. Y'all know how I roll like this, you know what I'm saying? What's going down today, man? What's going down today is kicking their bass, is getting his bass whooped. I'm on a bike that he can't touch. He's fixing to get smacked. You've been out here recently. You've been out with ol' Perry Murphy. Y'all go watch my episodes of fishing with Perry. We have some fun. We laugh, we giggle, we raise a little cane. It's fun. All right, so we're gonna go ahead and hop into it. I'm gonna drop big Steve in the water. He wants to back the boat, he wants to be in the boat because he can't get in my truck. Mr. Olympia over here, tell him what you did too. He actually injured himself like moments before. What'd you do, man? Pure stupidity, just stepped off the curb and wrecked my calf somehow. I don't know, but I can't climb in that big truck. I'm too old for that stuff. By the way, if you guys wanna check out some of the merch, go ahead and hop on kickinthebass.com. Join the fam, join the nation. Support your boy with big bass energy and go out and catch some big fish. Join the nation. I actually have something that's dropping today. This is the first time you guys are seeing these. And these aren't beanies. These are, always forget the freaking name. What's it called? What's the fancy name for these? Pom Pom Ball. It's a pom pom ball. It's a pom pom beanie. What are these called? What's the name of them? They're called baklava's? No, beanies. Not a baklava, it's a... What's it called? That's not a... Beanie, is it? This is actually not on it. This is gonna be a separate beanie that we're gonna drop here soon. This is a sample. It's gonna be big bass energy on it. You can go on the website right now and go copy one. See, this is about a six. This is a 10, so you better lock up your mama's assistance. You know what I'm saying? Cause it just went down. I kind of dig it. I think it'll keep you warm too. Like, this is actually some really thick material. We had some samples of some normal beanies come out and they were just, they wouldn't cover your ears perfectly. But this, I mean, look at this big melon on this guy. It can still fit them on him perfectly. Look, it makes the ladies go crazy. Pom pom toboggan? Toboggan. So go get your big bass toboggan on the website. I don't even know. Toboggan, don't worry. Toboggan. Go get your a toboggan today. Down below. I thought this would do it down here on the flow and this is a toboggan. I don't know. But I'm gonna drop big Steve in the water. We're gonna rig up our poles. I'm gonna show you guys exactly what we're throwing. We're gonna be catching some big fish today. I'm excited about it. By the way, we're on Lake Lanier, if you didn't know. Lake Lanier is known for big spotted bass. So I'm hoping we're gonna go catch some big spots. This brings me back to my roots. I actually grew up fishing on this lake. And I just love fishing for these big spots. So let's go ahead and back, big Steven. Oh yeah, I just like the good old days. At least he's walking down here like a man to take his butt open. Whoop, whoop, whoop. I didn't know if I was just filling the water before all of this. That would have been great. All right, so we just made it to our first spot. We're at a place right next to the ramp. And I have all my like bank fishing stuff on recently just because, like I said, I haven't been on the boat. So we're gonna cut this off. This is the chatter donkey that I've had a lot of good luck on recently. I've been throwing this thing, I think, for four or five weeks without breaking it off. I actually bent off the hook in everything multiple times. I have no idea how I have not lost this chatter bait, but it's my little lucky white and chartreuse chatter donkey. We're gonna start off with a underspin today. This is one of my favorite baits to throw of all time. I do apologize for the yard work in the background. But I haven't thrown one of these in a while. And this was one of my confidence baits back in, I'd say 2014 through 2016. This was like my favorite bait of all time was an underspin or a fish head. It just catches the fish, especially the spotted bass. I mean, you can just crush them on it. If you guys watched one of my winter linear videos from last year, I caught that like four and a half pound spot in like 65 foot of water, I think it was. I'm on an underspin. So hopefully we'll get on some deep bass today. Hold into this creek. We scanned out here at the mouth of it right down the ditch in the middle. And there was a ton of bait. So I'm actually gonna go right back over that. Just make sure we're not fishing dead water. Chuck this underspin. And we'll talk about how I'm throwing it here in a moment. We're just gonna put a little tiny paddle tail on the end. This is like a white ice color. It's not a straight pearl. So we're just taking a basic little paddle tail. I believe this is like 3.75 inch. Yeah, it's about a four inch paddle tail. This one's like a white ice. It's got pearl and a clear translucent with sparkles. My bait's not perfect that I ain't fishing it. There we go, right there. Boom. Got some beautiful little underspin. The paddle tail, see how you can tell? There's like a pearl, just a basic white on top. Then you got this translucent color on the bottom. Half the bait with sparkles in it. And it's got a regular pearl head underspin. So that's perfect. We're gonna start fishing. We're gonna scan right here and see if we can find some more bait. See if we can find some fish stacked up on the bottom and go from there. Hopefully we'll have a awesome day. All righty. Go ahead. I saw this, I saw all that bait out there and I was just putting two and two together. Figured we would try it. I'll see. It was weird. Like you wouldn't ever scan them in that bait, but you drop it in there and you can see them come out of it. Just fish to the left. See that? Uh-oh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Uh-oh. If I hold you. Yeah, I'm about to get one. Right here. Watch this. It'll bite it. It has to have like five fish falling down right away. Watch this. Whoa. What are you doing? Look at it. Look at them all. There's one on me right now. Look, he's following me up. You see that? Watch, I'm gonna stop it. You see him following me down? See, these are catchable. If you guys are wondering what I'm doing right now, I'll show you on my graph. We have all this bait. It's all slick of bait. That's my line going down right there with the spoon. These are all bass. One, two, three, four, five, six. Those are all bass that followed me down. They just weren't interested. We got to fire them up. All right, spot number two. See how it treats us. Oh my gosh. Start off with this fish head and then we'll, as we start. Really, I'm 30 foot, man. Oh, oh. I ain't gonna be able to hook that thing. Friggin' launch me right there. He hit it twice. Just went thunk thunk. Or this man about to hit. Or this man about to hit. You good? Just gonna pull it through. I was talking to the camera and I'm like, this guy's about to hit. Like, he's literally about to hit. And I didn't know if I should say something. Like, he looked back at his, at his boat and he looked at the bridge. I'm like, dude, you are not fitting that. And so we like started to put it in reverse. I'm like, all right, he's gonna back up. And he just went right through, dude. His poles were like bent over his whole roof and his boat was scraping across. Yeah, I got it on camera. I was like, oh my gosh, what's this guy doing? All right, little update. We haven't caught anything yet. Big Steve got a trip. Not really getting my money's worth right now. He said he's gonna take us to his honey hole. He said he has one honey hole that we haven't hit yet. What do you think? So if his honey hole doesn't work, then I might hop in and we might go try to find some deeper fish. Cause I think these fish moved off. This last week got really cold and I think these fish are all in a weird, you know, they're, they're moving. It's a lot different than last week. When did you go? It's been about a week, right? Yeah, these fish have changed a lot, but we're gonna go to this spot, see what's going on. And if they're not there, we're gonna try something completely different and try to find some big fish. Get him. Biggin. Big Steve got him one at the juice hole. Not a bad one. Big real guy. Little spot. He loaded up like a big one. That's a large mouth, I mean. That is crazy. If you guys didn't know, I mean, you don't catch large mouth on the other area. That's a pretty little large mouth. You weren't recording. It's not. Come on, YouTuber. Dang it. It was off? Dang it. Yeah. What's it doing? I got a blue thing in it. You're taking photos, aren't you? Yeah, it's a little large mouth. That's some big bass energy right there. Dude, when you loaded up on him, he seemed big. He didn't seem like that small. That's crazy. He's a little large. He can't catch his mama. A little largey. Where's your mama at, bo-off? Guys, as I always say, it's just good to get a fish in the boat. You know, it doesn't matter the size for the first ones. There he is. You got another one? He just whacked the heck out of me. Really? Oh, he just hit me again, huh? He's on there. Get him. Bigging? Dude, they're down there. That's another large mouth, isn't it? Yo, that's insane actually. That's another large mouth. Oh my God. Dude, that's crazy. Look at that. That is crazy, man. Yeah. Look at that. Steve got him another one like next cast right there. Look what he's got. He don't have a underspin. He doesn't have a fish head. He's got literally just a swim bait head. That's it. You got two of them. That's a little fat, chunky dude. Nice. Oh, gosh. Dude. His teeth marks are on it too. I'm just letting it sit. I didn't even move it. I just threw it in there and kind of let it sink to the bottom. I'm throwing a fluke. I don't know if I ever talked about this. It's the only other bait I tied on. You know, I have that underspin and then a little fluke. Oh, there he is. There he is. I got him. Yep. Oh, he ain't big. Another large mouth. Look how he choked it, dude. That's crazy. That's good stuff, man. Choked that fluke. So far today, and they've all been largemouth. Really small. You know, that's not a big deal at all, but we just got on some fish right here. We caught, what, three and five minutes, and they've all been largemouth, and I've probably caught 20, maybe 15 largemouth in my lifetime fishing Lake Lanier. So to catch three right now is just kind of bizarre. They're not big, but still pretty little fish and got him on a fluke. My dad's got those last two on a swim bait, so get him back in the water. We've still got to hunt for those big ones. The big bass that we're going to catch today probably not going to be largemouth. It's probably going to be some big spot. So let's keep on covering some water. I think right here we're going to continue to fish. What is going on? And, because there's a lot of fish in this area, but a big Steve's taking the boat over the fish right now. So I guess we'll see what happens. What are you doing, man? I'm still, what? He's going to run over the fish. He keeps nipping at it. He was nipping at it right there. Where are you at? Next to the Jotsky dog. Can't get this thing to sink. I don't know. Oh! I watched it. Dude, he missed it. I don't know. I watched that. How big was that fish, dude? Look, you got it. Got it. Oh, it's a big one. Oh, it's a big spot. I haven't caught one of these in a minute. These things fight so good. It's a big spot. About three pounds. I thought he was four. That was a good one. He ain't three pounds. What do you say, high two? High two pounder, maybe? I just say he picked it. Look at that right there. Dude, I was like, dude, he had to missed it. You know what I mean? He hit it. He missed it. He came back, hit it again, missed it. Then he came back swirled on it again. The third time he got way laid. I'll tell you, his lips are very sharp too. He's been eating baitfish. Look at that flute hanging out of his mouth right there. Pretty little spot. He's only about two and a half pounds. I thought he was, first I thought he was like a four pounder. Then I thought he was like a three pounder. And now he's like a two and a half. They shrink when they come to the boat. Hey, I ain't complaining. If I had a scale, I'd actually put him on the scale, but I bet you use like about two and a half. These are hefty, hefty spots. This is the one thing I love about spots, guys. The beautiful markings on these fish. You just look at their lateral line right there. It's got these beautiful black markings and there's overall really pretty bass. Like there's largemouth that we caught a second ago. They're not as pretty as these spots, you know? That's not a big spot by any means. I mean, on some lakes it is, but you know, I know we can catch a bigger one today, but that's a great start. You know, we caught four fish on this corner. I'm big Steve's juice hole. I guess the guide trip paid off and my money was well spent, but it's a pretty fish right there. Let's get a release back here. Should I? What? Should I live while it? You know what? Let's do it. Let's do it. We were in largemouth territory. We could get like a crazy largey and I would want to take a picture of the spot next to him. Big dinosaur. Well, there we go guys. That is our fourth fish of the day. The day has changed very quickly, which we haven't been out here long, but then we did pull up and catch four fish right there. I guess we're going to work our way back right here, throw around and we'll probably work our way back towards that mouth, because there's just so many fish right there. So that fish just came up. We actually saw him roll on it and he just never had it. I popped it a couple more times. The fish came up, rolled on it again, he had it that time. And it was a good little spot, not a giant, but you know, it was a good little spot of bass right there. I hope we can find us a good three and a half to five pounder today, which is very possible. This guy covered water. We only got a couple of hours of fish. So I was talking about a spot, but it could get a mass of large amounts. Yeah. And that'd be crazy. I don't know, just missed out on fish bites and I guess I know exactly where to go. We're going to catch one real quick. We're about to catch one. There he is. Get him. That's a biggie. He's a biggie boy. Yeah. That's a good one. Oh yeah. What'd I say? So I know we're coming to catch one here. You got you a good spot. You caught it. That's a good one. That's bigger than, might be bigger than the one I caught. You gonna grab him? Yeah, I can grab him. You want a boat, flip him. I don't want a boat, but I want you to be trying to get him. Oh yeah. That's a nice one. He ate it good too. Look at that. Big Steve just got him about a two pounder. He ain't as big as that last one. He's a good one. They're so thick and chunky. Look at them beautiful markings on them spots. He just pulled up to this spot. This first spot that I looked at on the graph. I just sat down and drove over here and it's a good fish. There should be some more here. It's a pretty spot. What you want to say? You want to show it to your camera? I got that big bass in it, baby. That's a good one. No suck. He ain't a mega, but he's a good one. What's up? Yeah, I'm putting a lot of them. Might as well. There's gonna be one on there. That's a good one, ain't it? Oh, don't be out there. Just get it. You can not push me in the water. He's in the same spot, wasn't he? Yeah. Another spot. Another good size. One, two and a half, maybe? Right there, brother. Oh, he's beautiful. Don't spit it. That's a good one. A little fat one. Oh yeah. That's crazy. Look at that one's got pretty colors on them, dude. Daddy Van Dan is getting it done. Look at this. He just, was that your next cast? No, two guys after. They're on the spot. We're gonna catch some here. I'm excited. That's a good one. I might need to put me a little swim bait back on. That fishhead that I got on so big, big profile, but it's a pretty spot. Just fat. Got one? Yeah, I got one. It's tiny. You good? Now that is what I'm calling big bass energy right there on this. That's a largemouth too. That's serious some big bass energy right there. That's a freaking toad. No. Look at that one. You hope it, that's still on the board. You're complaining earlier. You're like, we're not counting size. Oh. We're not counting size. Yeah, but we're talking about fish, not minnow. We're gonna go to a new spot. We don't have much daylight left. And pretty much what I'm looking at, we're in, I'm not even gonna say the name of this creek actually. I've never fished up here before. Him and Perry come up here all the time. This is like largemouth territory. If you guys, you know, fish Lakeland New, you probably know what creek I'm talking about. This is the first time I've fished up here and it does fish a lot different. You know, you fish, if we were on the south end of the lake right now, we would be fishing a lot different stuff. There's actually a lot of bait up there. What I'm looking for is pretty much these banks that have that steeper drop off. So, you know, when we came back in here, that first spot that we hit, it had a steep drop off. You could tell it was a big bluff bank with rock and clay. And there's fish on it. We pulled up and got a bit instantly. Even this one was the same way. We pulled up, got a bit instantly. So when you find a pattern like that, when you find one of those fish you're sitting on, you just duplicate it. So, you know, I found that first spot. I looked at the second spot that looked most similar to it. When I came over to it, it looked totally different, but there was still fish on it the way it sets up on the ground. So, we're gonna hit one or two more spots. There's a couple of good rocky spots over here that I think we can catch some fish on. There it is. There we go. You know. Nope. That ties me up right here. No. Yes, it does. No. What am I doing? It's another largemouth. Dude, we caught more largemouth than spots today. How many is that? That's five largemouth out of eight fish. That's crazy. Spots have been the bigger ones, but it's a little fat guy. Look at that. A little fat, largey. That's four to four. All right, sucka. All right, guys, we're gonna release these good couple of spotted bass that we caught earlier. I had a couple other decent ones as well, but we didn't put them in the well. Those are some pretty fish. Took a little picture for the Instagram because I just never take any pictures anymore. So, I was like, you know what? Today's a good day. Get a good picture of some spotted bass. Get them back in the water. That's a good little fat one. That was the one I caught on the flu. It goes a good fish. Get, oh, all right. Well, we had a good day today. Got Daddy Vandam behind the camera. And he had a little competition going on today. We each caught four fish. And I had the biggest one. I'm just saying, just throwing it out. And the smallest one, though. And the smallest, that's what I'm saying. I think we're tied. I think today was a good, even tie. I'll take a draw. I'll take a draw on today, because I caught that minnow, and then you caught those two small ones in the beginning, so. It's fair enough. I just had fun hanging out with my boy. Yeah, we had a good time, and we're only out here for what, three hours? Three hours, eight fish. You can't complain. I mean, we're on a whole different part of the lake that I've never been to before, so it was fun. If you guys wanna go check out to do toboggins. Go down below, kickintheirvast.com.
