 Yo what's poppin' people, welcome back to another video. Thank you guys so much for the support. If you're new to the channel, please hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, and also hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. I'm with my boy Fletcher. You guys have not seen Fletcher. He's just going on, guys. A hot second. If you guys wanna check out his channel, be sure to do so. I know we got together when my parents came down and we had a good time, went fishing, so we're back out there to get in today. He's in town and we're gonna go do some fun fishing. We actually got the John boat on deck today and we're gonna be trying to catch some big bass on some big jigs today. That's always fun. Let me tell you guys, these fish have been munching. Let me show you what Noah's gonna be throwing over here today. Where'd you tie that bad boy up? That's right there. This jig right here, this black and blue jig, as you can see, the water here behind us is really stained right now. So what you wanna do is throw something that has some contrast in the water so that dark black and blue jig, those fish can really hone in on it when the water's really murky. And all these fish right now are positioned on some offshore structures. It's blazing hot. It's the heat of the summer right now. Those dog days, you know how hot it gets and those fish get dormant. So right now they are locked out on this deep structure. And the other day, I was just plucking off three and four pounders like it was nothing. I'm gonna tell you, bro, with this sun today too, you know there's gonna be a good lay down bite too. Skipping over those overhills. You know, that jig's gonna be a freaking key player. This is actually a hybrid jig by six cents. If you guys wanna get a discount, you can use my code. I'll pop it up on the screen. We're gonna have some fun today. It's gonna be a good day. This spot literally right here, let's see if I can get one on this cast. There's these blue gill beds right here. And I casted here the other day and this fish was just staged off the edge of this, waiting for these blue gills to come off bed for an easy little munch. Let's see if we can get them today. Maybe not. Look at all this blue gill, man. There's a ton on the mountain. I don't know if you guys can see it in the water. Yeah, dude, if we can get on that skip bite, we've filmed a good couple of videos of that skip bite. And that is some of the most fun you'll have. Yes, sir. Well, we're gonna go ahead and hop into this video and go catch some big fish. I'm excited about it. We're gonna have a good day today. Super hot, but it's gonna be fun. You guys better stay tuned. Hit that like button. Go check out Fletcher's channel. Let's hop right into it. Well, Fletcher is talking to the camera rigging up some stuff. I'm actually gonna walk down this bank, do a little bit of bank fishing for a minute and see maybe if we can hook one over here. There's been a bunch of fish that usually stack up on the side. So we might end up hooking a big one before we even get out on the water. Like I said, just a little basic hybrid jig, black and blue. I think it's really gonna, oh man. It's gonna get it done today. Conditions, like I said, really sunny. There's really no, really no cloud, or there is some clouds over there, but for the most part, this sun is beating down. So I'm gonna tell you, man, this bottom bite today is gonna be really good. And I'm excited about that. There's overhangs and there's laydowns like skipping up under those trees. That's gonna be a lot of fun today. So I'm excited about that. The all shore bite, that's what we're gonna start off on. And then we're gonna go, you know, probably pitch some laydowns and try to find some of those holes that those fish are sitting in. I think some will be really good. That's the thing. In these hot summer days, it can be tough, but if you get the right bait and you fish some of the right cover, it could be deadly this time of year. Let's see if we can hook one real quick. Alrighty, didn't get a bite. I think it's done. No, I thought I was gonna catch one as you were rigging up, but I tried. I tried. I think the offshore, a little bit of offshore bite right now is gonna be gonna be good. Whoa, hold up. Got us a little laydown right here. Maybe, maybe a big, stinky girl at the end of it. Maybe not. Oh no. I think there's a, like you were saying, that offshore bite right off the beginnings and be really good. Yeah, I think they're gonna eat it really good. Yes. Let's get started, Fletch. Tired of talking. Okay. You ready? Look at these bluebills, guys. I don't know if you guys can see it on the GoPro. There's a bunch of will guys. Yeah, it's gonna be a, it's actually gonna be a full moon tomorrow. All right, it's time to hit it, guys. I'm ready. Water's actually not that bad. What did you say? It's not that bad. The heat? No, the water. Not too bad, is it? That's pretty green. Yeah, it is. It is a little, it's not as clear as it usually is. Not snap that off today. I know, dude. I can't hook set how I usually do. By the way, guys, I was a dingleberry this morning and I somehow forgot my rods and reels. I was the first, but I actually literally think that's the first. I don't think I've ever forgotten my rods and reels. There's always something you forget. Yeah, dude. That was just the dumb one. I fished a tournament yesterday and I like put them inside. They're usually in my truck and I got about 10 minutes from Fletcher's house and I was like, I called him. I said, we got a problem here. I totally forgot my rods and reels. So I am using a mock crush on a mock smash. Very interesting, Fletcher. Very interesting. You know, I wouldn't have that problem if it wasn't for somebody snapping my rods. What rod? Oh, oh. I wonder who could have snapped my rod. What rod are you talking about, man? I think a couple million people remember that one. I think of things I like five million views. Oh my God. All right. Well, we're gonna start off right now, guys. Fishing some offshore really big chunky pipes. Big chunky. Well, this one's a brush pile. There's big chunky pipes over there and over there and that's what's probably gonna be some sauce. It's right there, correct? Like, we're literally cash straight out. It's time to fire this bad bully out here. Noah's throwing a big old black and blue jig. Oh, no. You're really knitting? It snapped me off. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I don't know what snapped right there. I checked that not really good. Just grabbed me coming right up to the boat right there. Must've been following it up off the bottom. I told you not to eat that dang banana, Fletcher. We're in the gas station, got a banana. I was like, oh, here's a bad luck banana. Got a fish. Yes, sir. You saw one? Oh man. Oh, yeah. That is a tank. That's a nice one. Dude, you just loaded up on it. Don't jump, baby. You even feel it bite it? No, just load it up. Don't jump, baby. Oh my gosh. What a fish to start off the day right here. Oh, baby. He was just wearing her out. Got her on this lighter rod. I knew she was going to do it. I knew she was going to do it. That was a good fish, though. That was a solid, what, three pounder? That was a solid three. That was a solid three pounder. It was weird, because usually, you know, they thump it. Just load it up, because you know how it was like. I was like, I was like, she had it a good second before I hooked it. In my head, I was like, this has to be a fish. But at the same time, I was like, I might be going over that stuff, but just solid weight. That was interesting. That was a weird bite. Never felt her hit it. I'm in it right now. Oh, oh, he just got me. Oh no, dude. That one I felt right when I brought it over the branch, dude. Yeah, right when I was creeping over the branch, she grabbed it. She just didn't have it all the way. I got a little too excited. And you guys give me on a jig bite. I just get the nerves go through the roof. Look at that. Oh my God, pulled the whole thing down. Look at that. Just a little piece of that craw left. Little tiny piece. She must have just had it like munched on the tail end of it, just no hook in her mouth. I ain't gonna lie. I need to retire already. Really? And this is the last jig, by the way. This is, Fletcher's little hybrid jig. It's the only one we got today. I ran out of my black and blues. So I got one in the boat, I'm pretty sure. And that's it. So I've really got to play careful on this. I did hook set that fish a little, Noah hooks Eddie. I need to slow that one down a little bit. Okay, we're gonna, this is the ain't the first time I've been in Fletcher's crawl bin. A million different crawls. Only a million different flavors. Did you ever, when you were younger? Go to the candy shop and just- Throw everything in a bag? Or like, you ever do a suicide drink where you take a cup like at a, there's like a fountain drink and just a little bit of every- Bro, bro, the McDonald's high sea, bro. I don't remember. I think I would mix the McDonald's high seas, bro. That was some good- Here we go. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh no, that's a good one, Fletcher. Come on, get right up underneath us. Oh, that's a really good one. You want me to help you? You got it. I think I got her good. I think I definitely got a good hook in her. It's almost a three pounder. That might be it. That is a three pounder. What am I saying? Oh, I don't know. Check that out, guys. She inhaled that thing. As you can see right there, got a nice hook set in her. Right in the thick part of her mouth too, that sucker was not going anywhere. But she munched it right underneath the boat. Both of my bites so far have come like right up underneath us. Might need to back off a little bit. I know, for real. Like, I don't know if they're following us. I know, they're just positioned off of it. Yeah, I'm not really sure because both of yours kind of came on the far end of it and mine came on this side of it but I don't think it comes out this far. Could be wrong, but that is a great fish. Probably a high two. Yeah. High two. A little skinny for a three. A little skinny. I thought she was when you flopped her in. Yeah, she got it. They always shrink, don't they? They always do that. When they come up and they flop, they always look a little bit bigger than they actually are. But definitely a quality fish. Great one to start today. Let's go ahead and get this beautiful girl back in. Always appreciate the bite. Did I retie this? No, I did not. I remember. All I remember is a hook set and a fish. So guys, we're gonna tie a basic. Well, you're gonna need to know it. You guys already know. The old basics. It's had a little fray. And you guys know, I always say, you need to retie. And then most of the time I just ignore it and break it off and then tell you guys that you should retie when no one ever reties. But we are retying today. Especially on this thin line because 15 pound with Noah. Just let me tell you, it's like two pound. I don't know. It's weird. There's two pounds really make a difference when you fall up to 17. Oh my God. It really does though. All right, let's see if we can get us another one. For every inch you have on your arms, you gotta go up a pound. Shoo, shoo. Well, I've lost a good bit of inches. So maybe we in a safe zone right now. It's a trailer and just broke. I'm gonna hang my meat. Hanging your meat. That's what I call the hang my meat special. I wish I had my rods because I would have brought out my big flipping rig, dude. We could have, oh my God, that would have been so much fun. What, punching that stuff? Punching all these, like they, like getting up in the thick of it. What were you saying? You mean position us on this side? Yeah, that's fine, come on. Might double up. No. All right, all right. That is a good one too, ain't it? Double up. How's a good fish? Yes, sir. Oh gosh, Fletcher, that's a really good one. You want me to help you? No, no, no, I got her. I think she's pinned good. She's pinned good. Oh, that's a really healthy fish. Hey, Fletcher. Double up? Yes. Yes. How's your spiel? It feels pretty good. I ain't gonna lie. It's hard to tell. I don't know. I really don't, he's running at me now. Oh. Oh. Let's see what Noah's got. He's pulling the drag. What you think? It's about the same. About the same? Yeah. He's just tugging, dude. I was letting him fight on this rod. It's fun. Let me pluck this guy out of here. We're trying to stay off the cover out here. Noah's got himself a nice one. Thank you. I think you might have me beat. Or we got a pair of twins. Let's take a look at these guys. Oh. I don't know. Mine might be a little bigger. I think yours is a little longer, but I think mine's a tad bit fatter. They're close. They're very close. You want to throw them on the skin? Yeah, we should. That would actually be kind of cool. Heck yeah, we got the double up that we were wanting. Yes, sir. Fish ball. Fish ball? Boom. All right guys, look at that one. These are both, this one's three, I know. They're close to it. I'm not gonna lie, bro. I think I got you. I think you got me. I think you got me. I don't think mine's quite three. I'm saying like mid twos, high twos. This is a three pounder. Two eleven. Yeah, this one might be dead on in three. There you go. All right, zero it out. You said two eleven on that one. Let's see what this one is. It's either gonna be like a high two, like a two fourteen, two fifteen, or a three pounder. Three pounds even, baby. Even, oh. Look at that, three. He got me beat by just like five ounces. Five ounces. But that is a solid little double up. I'll take that all day. That was good. And he's going to roll. That was awesome. Look at that fish right there. That's a beautiful one. Three pounder. Three pounder. Baby, let's go. Got a good double up. We might get another one. He was in the same spot years as that too. Yeah, I threw it on that left hand side. That's a beautiful fish. There he goes. Heck yeah. First double up of the day. Give me something on that. You got to sort of angle me a last. I promise you that. Told you, man. He's got to hang your meat. All right. You come off the chunk? Yeah. No, you got. You on? Hey, that's a big one. I ain't going to lie. That's a big one. Oh, can we get another one? Yo, that's that. I'm going to tell you right now, he's fighting twice. If not more as hard as that last one. Really? Yeah. I don't know. He's running at me now. Dude, he fills. It might be this rod. Look at that. Dude, that thing is tugging. If that thing hasn't come up yet. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Four pounder. That's a freaking stud. He hit it on the fall. I felt him. Is that a four? It's going to be close. Oh my god, this rod, dude. It's actually fun, but it worries the mess out of me. I'm sure we could get another treble, but I'm going to get the camera for you, bud. I'm wearing them out. I'm playing with the fish today. That's a good fish, bro. This rod, dude, bended on this jig. It's a bendy boy. It's a bendy boy. I'm just wearing them out. I think he just came off. No, he didn't. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a three and a half. He ain't, I don't know if he's quiet for it. We'll weigh him. He's fat. He's a filled out fish, man. Look at that, man. That's a beautiful one right there. That's just bigger than the last one. She's more filled out. Three eight. What's your guess? I'm thinking. You got your hands on her. Three seven, three eight. Three seven, three eight. Three seven, three eight. Three seven, three eight. Oh, oh. Three, three ten. Three ten. Oh. Three ten. There you go. That's a good fish. I was about to say, for ten more ounces, let me tell you, that fish was fighting. I mean, that thing was tugging. The last one was pulling drag. That was a good freaking bass. Now we're going to get back in there, see if we can double up again. It was a lot of fun. That was the next cast. Hit the bottom. When you find them stacked on this offshore stuff in the summer, it's unbeatable. You can't beat it. You can flip these trees all day and you can catch them. But these spots were plenished. So many bass down there. Good three and a half. She's ready to get up. Good three and a half down there. These fish are strong, dude. These fish are strong. Well guys, that was a back to back cast. Now Fletcher's going to get in there and hook him. I'll see if we can double up. They are stacked on this, guys. I mean, they've got these big pipes on the spot. And then right where I just cast it, it was like, I wouldn't call it pea gravel, but it's really small gravel. It's a little bit smaller. We were catching them on these thick pipes a second ago. I actually felt that one hitting on the fall. I threw it in there and I felt a little thump. Before it even hit the bottom? Before it hit. I was about right there. About where you're at. I would tell you guys how I'm working it, but that last one just hit the bottom. I'm giving it a... Uh-uh. Yes, sir. Hold each other. Oh, yeah. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, Fletcher. You going to get a look at them? You want me to help you land it or film? Uh, take the camera. Fletcher's on with a freaking giant. Oh, this offshore bite. Stay down, baby. Stay down. That's a good one, too. They're trying to keep us off the stuff so we can keep catching fish and don't scare them off. She's hooked pretty good, though. Right there in the corner. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Let's go. They are loaded on that stuff. That is dumb. Oh, it's just automatic, man. That's another solid... This one's three pounds all day. Thank you for biting, Franks. Okay. She's just vibing. She's just vibing. Let's go, buddy. Oh, God, it feels good down there. Uh-oh. Throw in there. Yeah, throw in there. Oh, gosh. Gooding? It's a pretty good one. Just double up. Oh, yeah. It's a three-gawdly. These fish are fighting, dude, today. Which I'm surprised on a summer day like today. It's a three-pounder. Come on, Fletch. These fish are strong. It's about a three-pounder. A little shorter, three pounds. They're in that same range, man. They're all footballs. They're just freaking fat and healthy, beautiful markings on this one. It's like a golden color. Barely had it in the corner of her mouth, but I guess I had her good. Yeah, about two and a half. Look at that beautiful color. Man, she's got some beautiful markings. Beautiful colors. Pretty one. Got to eat munch in that jig right there. Yeah. Oh, I got him. I got him in the tree. I got him out. Oh, man. Feel like a good one? Yeah, he's trying to get in that tree. Oh, he's still in there. This line's tough. Yeah, I got him. He's out. Oh. Oh, you dirty boy. Oh, yeah, he spit it out. A little quick release. Woo! Super high head on this spot. Yes. Oh, my God. Did it really snap? Oh, no, he's cold. Uh-oh. He's like you. You got him? Oh, my God. All right, he's stuck in there, but he feels actually really big. He's still on. Oh, gosh, is that him? That is him. Wait. Did he come off? Wait. Yes. Oh, gosh, what? That's a nice one, bro. Look at the head on that. That's a beautiful fish right there. That's a good one. All right, let's bring you around this side, girl. That's a good one. Look at that one. That was awesome, guys. We almost had to double up. We were so close. That's actually a really big one. That might be the biggest today. Is it? I can't tell. She's a girthy one, man. Oh, my God. Did she hook good? I sure hope so, because that was the fattest fish. Do you think she's four? Do you think we broke into the four-pound range? She's fat, man. I don't know if she's long enough, man. Ah, nah. I think they're on a scale. We'll throw her on the scale just to do it, but she's a solid three-and-three-quarters, maybe. There's something that... Oh, you're running the camera. I didn't even know. I didn't even know you were running the camera. Now, me and Bradley have this thing where when I telephish to sit, it will sit. Sit. I'm being serious. Three-eleven. So three-and-three-quarters pretty much. One ounce away. That was a beautiful bass right there. That was a big girl. That is a big girl. All, baby. Yeah, we'll give you some on that one. Almost had another double up. That was a close one. Had this girl wrapped up all in there. She felt really good. That's a pancake. I haven't used that term in a while. That's a pan. That's a pancake. There we go. Uh-uh. Yes, sir. Yo, that was like the same time. Oh, yes, sir. There's another one. Oh, is it really? Dude, he's right there. Do you have another bait? Do you have another bait? Oh, I got the frog. There's a crank bait. I don't know what I'm doing. Wait, do you actually? Do you think we can make this happen? See if you can get it. This is getting a little crazy. Yo, there was two fit. I'm pretty sure there was two of them. Right in there. Dude, they were right under the bass. I don't know where they went. My bad. My bad. If we had another... If we had another jig or a soft plastic to put it in there, oh my gosh. Let's go ahead and get these two suckers up. I think I got to beat this time. Dude, what happened is my jig was sitting in front of the boat and all of a sudden it shot to the right. Like five foot and I'm like, hold on. You probably heard me just stop talking. I was like, wait, this is crazy. Fish bump it. Oh, nice bass. I think Mike's probably pushing about probably closest to me. Two and a half.
