 That's a four footer, should be right here on that edge of this fairness. Let's see that's another thing. It should be just deeper over there and it has another. There he is baby, right there on the edge of that grass. Oh it's a big one. Oh yeah it's a big one. Oh that's a nice one. Hey bring the net, bring the net. Oh god, oh god that's a big one. He ate it right at the boat. That's a six pounder baby. That's a huge fish. That's a freaking tank. Yo what's poppin people, welcome back to another episode of kicking the bass TV. If you guys are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell. Also hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. Today we're actually taking out a few supporters of the channel. They came out to the fan meet up last weekend and we got PJ right here and we got Ethan. We're gonna put them on the camera some more here in a little bit but they invited us out to come out to this lake that's right down the road from my house and we put the bass boat in. We can't run the big motor in here but we can run the trolling motor and we're gonna hunt for some big fish today. I think it's gonna be a good time. Little funny story, they sent Cody the dress last night and Cody texted it to me and I put it in my navigation and I ended up driving 30 minutes in the opposite direction to the same address in a whole different spot. So we ended up getting out here a little bit later but I think it's gonna be good. We're gonna have fun, there's a fish just jumping right there in the background. So let's go ahead and hop into it, see what we can do today and get on some really big fish. Let's get it. I think one of the first baits that we're gonna rock with, water visibility. It's pretty clear out here, it's slightly murky but you got that green water tint so we're gonna go with more of a natural color. I'm gonna tie on a 6XD and I don't know exactly what color this is but it's got some green on top, purple right on the top, green on the top side. It's got some white on the bottom, it's a nice little natural color. So we're gonna put a 6XD on, I think we're gonna put on a lipless crankbait too, rattle trap and then maybe a jig. So we're gonna try out here first, see if we can find some fish out deeper in some of these little holes that are tucked on the bottom. There's a lot of bait out here. If that doesn't work, there's also a bank on this other side. It's got a bunch of laydowns and shades so yeah, that's kind of the game plan. So let's go ahead and get tied up and get to fishing. See that color? I only have one of these, Cody. And it's so saucy, like this is one of the sauciest colors that I got. The only reason I haven't thrown it is because I only have one but today I feel like we need to throw it, you know what I mean? That color right there is gonna be good. By the way, if you guys want to get a discount on any of the striking baits, I'll have my discount codes and links down below. You guys can go get them down there. Y'all comfortable, y'all good? Once I get all this on, we'll be... Chilling? Just chilling. What are you throwing? I'm throwing a rattle trap, blue and yellow. Try to get those deeper fish. What do you got tied on there? I got a little rattle trap going. I think I'll get some big fish today. You got a rattle trap? You got a rattle trap? You got like a natural one on? Yeah, like a blue and yellow. You got a crawled egg color on. So I'll probably throw that natural. By the way, I pulled out this, too. It's a little jig. Green pumpkin with a little bit of chartreuse in it. We'll put a summer crawl, rage crawl on the back of this. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna be honest, boys. I'm just kinda... I'm literally just kind of idle around and just see, like, watch my graph. That's the thing, when you come to places like this, there's not contour lines. So you can't really tell, you know, where the drop-offs or anything's at. That's the thing I was worried about. Feel that grass? It's about a brand-new one. I gotta set it up. What's that? Whenever, before you came out with your rods, why would you always use the Pro-Ti reel but on the Mach Smash rod? You want to know the true story behind that one? Yeah. So I had, you know, I ended up buying a Pro-Ti combo. I had the rod in the reel. And I went to my parents' house. And we were fishing, because they live on, like, a little pond. And we were fishing the pond. And I was using one of my other rods. I had it down in the grass. And my mom was helping film. It was just me and my dad messing around. And my mom walks around the corner and steps on the rod. It breaks the rod, yeah. The most expensive rod you can have. I know the most expensive rod I got. No, I never broke it on, like, just doing anything. It was just her stepping on it. I was like, oh, man. You feel so bad, too. I'm like, it's fine. But yeah, that's why. Oh, he came off. OK. Oh, are you filming me? I thought you were turning around. First cast on the jig, bro. First cast. So we were just talking about it every time. They're like, hey, you want to skip over in this hole? Or they put the camera on me? I just can't skip. So we're going to see if we can do it. See that little crevice? OK. Not bad. I wish I could have got further in there. There should be a fish in there. I can't believe we haven't. I pull up, guys. I'll put that rage-crawl on this jig. First cast. I get a good bite. We haven't even had another. I mean, he had a couple of nibbles, but it's weird. What we might need to do is back off and fish the drop-off, but we're trying to get up in there these trees right now. That's where I'm going. Really? You got them? Get them, kid. Nice, buddy. Nice, buddy. There you go. A little fat guy. This is the dead. You guys saw somewhere, right? Yeah. He's a little fella. He smoked it. There you go. A little fella. I was just running that little ribbon tail on the bottom, and he just picked it up right off the bottom. Smoked it. That one? Yeah. Cool. Perfect. I'm going to let him back. There he goes. You see that grass? Look. That's some four-foot. Should be right here on the edge of this. See, that's another thing. It's deeper over there, and it has another. There he is, baby, right there on the edge of that grass. Oh, it's a big one. Oh, yeah. That's a big one. Yeah. I'll get him. Oh, look how he choked it, dude. Whoo, baby. Look at that. Hey, he's about three in a two-pounder body. Oh, my God. Dude, I haven't caught a fish that fat in a minute. Look at that belly. Look at that. Dude, that's a freaking. I'm going to tell you, we just found the spot. Remember how I was saying it might drop off? But if you look on your left, you see all that grass? Yeah. So you got the shallow, flatty point, and they're hanging right on the edge of that grass, and they'll pull up and ambush that bait. Right here, this is the spot. That's what I've been waiting on. I ate that thing head-first, too, baby. Look at that. KVD trap. Yes, sir. Well, there we go, guys. That's my first fish today, second fish overall, and that's a solid three-pound chunk. I mean, what would you guys say, three pounds? We can put them on the scale here in a little bit, but, man, that's a good fish. Just the belly on him is crazy. You know, that should be a two-and-a-half-pound fish, but he's just a brute. We're actually going to put him in a live one and take a picture later. We'll always get the fish back in the water, but it's pretty good. He's definitely three, dude. Yeah. If not, he's a height, too. Nice. Give me some, boys. Yes, sir. How's your turn, buddy? All right, boys. Got our first or my first fish today. I'm going to really hone in on this spot. I think this is where these big ones are going to be sitting. Might be able to give him to react on this trap some more. Right out there. That's the drop-off. But if you start casting up there, you have where that grass is. Yeah. He was right on the edge. I kind of threw parallel with it. He was coming up on it. That sucker slapped it, bro. It wasn't like a lazy bite. He was there to eat it. There he is right there. That's a big one, dude. That's a big one. Oh, that's a freaking tank, buddy. Grab that net? Yeah. Yeah, grab that net. I haven't seen him yet. He's pulling good. I think he choked it. I think it's in the back of his throat. Oh, yeah, this is a big fish, buddy. Have you seen him? Oh, yeah. I mean, he's about a four-pounder. We'll get him on the net. Come on, this sucker. No, this sucker. Here, buddy. Nice little lift. You got one? Double up, baby. Look at that. Dude, they're freaking brutes, bro. Give me some. Give me some. Hey, you got another big one? Here, net it for him. Hey, I'm right here. I'll bring him to you. Oh, that's a nice fish. Oh, that's a big one. Oh, that might be a PB. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's a big one. Dude, that's on my rod. I know. Ethan, that wasn't... You weren't stuck. That was a fish. Dude, that's some big ones. Oh, my gosh. That's a fish. Couple four-pounders. That's about a four. I'm so stoked. Dude, good job, bro. Mine's bleeding a little bit. Ethan thought he was snagged. He thought he was stuck. Wait, that was his rod? He was like, pull my rod, I'm going to get the net. I see it swimming. I'm like, dude, you're not stuck. Are you kidding? Oh, my God. I don't know what his fish that is. What would you say that is? I'd say it's... I think it's half of yours. I think half. Well, I think I got on. Ethan. I'd say he's almost... There was a four-pounder. I'll break your boat. Yeah, you got to go that way. You can put them on this side. Here we go, buddy. Hey. That's sweet. Hey, it's all you now. Hey, you're a part... He felt so big because I had it in his throat, but I thought that was probably a six, dude. He didn't feel like a four-pounder. And I would go with my dad. We used to go out on the boat a lot. They had, like, pontoons and stuff like that we could chill out on. And, um... Yeah, I started fishing, like, off the docks and stuff, catching little bluegill. And that kind of led to my granddad taking me out. I started off with cat fishing. Oh, gosh, dude. He's running at me. I mean, he about took the rod out of my hand. Yeah, I think it's another good one. He didn't feel... Oh, gosh, that's the biggest one. He's barely hooked, too. He's a brute. Yeah, buddy. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That sucker bit it, boys. Look at these fish, man. He ain't the biggest one, is he? No. They're all, like, twins, I swear. This one's, like, the size of that first one I got. Dude, they are hammering this trap. I mean, I... Oh, this color. Yeah. I don't know if you got one on that red one, though. There we go, guys. Another tank. We got about... This is our fourth one, right? We probably got about 12, 13 pounds. We might have more than that. I don't know. It makes you good. I mean, it's consistent, like, three, three-and-a-half pound, four-pound fish. These things are slamming it. We see some bigger ones now. We got them can... There's good three and four-pounders. We need a seven or an eight, maybe a six. You got one? Big one? That would go on anybody. Uh-oh. Cody's hooked up. With a fifth big in today. We got a three-pounder. Look at it. Brute, dude. We're on you, buddy. Cameraman and Cody on board. That's a stubby, fat guy. Yeah, he's not quite... I don't know, dude. That's a two-pound fish. Pushing three pounds, you know? I'm the white rattletrump. Biden, like Noah was saying earlier, and just slamming it. They're not scared of these things. That's fun. We're bringing us out here. I really want like a five-plus. Got a couple fours. A couple threes. When we got about... How big is that one that you caught? Almost three, maybe, Cody? That's our smallest one in there? Yeah. I'll say we got six. He's 14. We got about 16 to 17 pounds right now. I mean... Yo, matter of fact, I was talking about how it's bad grass. That is good stuff right there. You see how it's green? See how it's not brown? If it was brown, I'd say to not fish it. That's fresh. What was that on? That was right out where he just casted. That's why the fish are there. See, that puts off oxygen. That's sloppy, don't... See, what happened is it puts off oxygen, then all the beta compile, you know, get up in it. Oh, there you go, boy. That's a big one. Keep that... Yeah, keep that up. Pressure. Dude, that was sweet. I'm going to get the net for you. That's a big one. I think it's the biggest one today. Good job, buddy. The worm? No, that was on the chatter. Was it? Oh, God. Oh, yeah. That was not the biggest today. I don't know, dude. That's a good one. That's my fish. That's a good fish. Yes. That might be a four, dude. That's close. That's close. It's a high three, if not... Good job, buddy. You jacked him, too. I was watching that. That was... That was neat. Yeah. There you go. Good job, man. Give me some. Let's get it. That was a good fish. Nice one. Yeah, he slammed that sucker, didn't he? Right out there in that nice grass you were talking about. Yeah. That's cool. Did you fish it all? You ever take it? We take it. She loves saltwater fish. I don't know if I cast your worm, buddy. You can't... What? Oh, God. Oh, God. That's a big one, Cody. He ate it right at the boat? Right at the boat. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's a six-pounder, baby. That's a huge fish. That's a freaking tank. Oh, my God. That's a freaking tank, boy. Dude, that's a huge fish. Yeah, that's a meatball. I don't know if he's quite six. He's a five. He's a five, though. Want me to pull him out? Look what Cody just caught, just reeling out of the boat. Yeah. Gosh, he looked a lot bigger than that. His tail's small, but, dude, he's a freaking thick. That might be a five-pounder, dude. I just don't know. Dude, that's a tank, buddy. That's a meatball. All right. What do you think? I'm saying, at least. I'm going to be the bummer here. I'm going to go 4.75. Actually... I haven't got a good look at it. He's heavy, dude. I don't know. I'm going to say five on the dock. I'm going to say 4.80. All right. So y'all are about at five. Five and a quarter. I'm going to say four and a quarter. Or a high five. Or a high four. You're not even going to believe it. What? What's your guess? Five-seven. Five on the money, bro. That was my guess. What? That was my guess. That was his guess, too. How was it? Literally five on the money, dog. Wow. Five times. That was a meatball. You got me nervous. I'm so nervous. That's because you introduced yourself as a pescatelian. Oh, my God. I got a fish. I did not think I had a fish. I was actually playing with you. And he choked. He was right about where he should have been on the end of that point. He's a heavy boy. He's our smallest. Oh, my God. Maybe not. Oh, my gosh. It's just a lot bigger than I thought. Just like a fat three-pounder. Nah, I'll flip him. Yeah. Yeah. Choked it. Old three-pounder yanda. I was actually just playing. You were next to me, Cody? Yeah. And I didn't want to slap you. So I was like, I'm just going to kind of lift up. And all of a sudden I felt him go tug-tug on the back of me. All right, y'all. Another nice three-pounder. You know, we got a couple of them in the box. You know, we got three fours and a five. And then I think we got another three. But we're going to throw him back. But he's a nice healthy guy. Choked on that trap. This big grass flight comes out to a point and he was right off the end of the point. But that's just a brute. Them fish have been so healthy. They're the smallest ones today. And that's crazy. There he goes. Give me some, Cody Bob. There you go. Let's get it. There we go. I'm going to put mine back first. Look at that. Yes, sir. What a day. I'm going to stick this right in there. Beautiful. He's gone. Some nice fish, man. Beautiful bass. Give her a little kick. She goes. You got to revive him. He's going there, guys. There we go, boys. High five, Ethan. That was a lot of fun. Dude, we had a blast today. I really appreciate you guys inviting us out, man. That was a good time. You know, we met them at the meetup this Saturday. Really cool guys, really good kids. And man, I appreciate it, man. This is a fun day. We're going to have to do it again. I hate that you stole Ethan's fish. That's all right.
