 Gank him again. There you go. Oh, it's a big one buddy. Just a giant buddy. Welcome back to the adventure wagon hooked up to the Silver Bullet right now. We're going on a bass fishing adventure y'all. We're about 30 minutes away from a little private lake that my best friend Craig wanted to go to with me. He's been telling me about this spot and he said, man, I've been out there a couple of times. Haven't really caught him. It's deep though. It's like a quarry. You think you can bring your bass boat out there to catch him? I was like, yeah, dude, we can go do that. But it is nasty, rainy conditions today. It is going to be a drizzly episode y'all, but I think we're going to catch a big bass today. Bucky's, to be honest with you, that house blend could use an upgrade. Hey, buddy. Hey, drop you good doos in there. All right. You feel good? Only free stall at Bucky's? Seriously? Wow. Dang, bro. Never seen that. Never seen that at Bucky's. Phenomenal. Let's go smash some Giants. You heard the man. Craig's pumps. Still get some big green ones on the line y'all. It's my best friend, Craig. From Bumbler of a Day. But I'm telling you, this is the kind of days where the Begans eat. It's like the trolls come out of their cave and they start to feed. So I've got a box full of frogs. Got a lot of grass edges here. And I've got a couple of new top waters to show you guys. Fall, a frog bite gets really good if you got grass. But if you don't have grass, you have more open clear water, a top water walking style bait, like the old spook style baits that they just bring them up. We're going to have some lightning bag conditions. We only have about a three hour window to really fish. So it's going to be fast and furious, I hope. New bait also, wake banger guys. Waking. I'm hoping to be quaking on a waking. A bone killer. It's going to be a hasty one there. Give a little field test cast here. That's going to get crushed. Shallow grass killer right there. Look at these rock piles, all right. Let's get to the grass. We can mess around with this if we don't catch anything there. I just feel like today is the day where we're going to pick some. Oh yeah. Good place for them to hunt. You know, it just gives the spot a shadow to hide, but they can kind of weave in a fat tail. That fish feels like moderately chilled. That's nice. Water 66, bro. Yeah. That's freaking good. Frog city, dude. Just saw a swirly back in there, behind the grass. That guy's, he's deep in there. Oh, explosion. Oh, get it. That's a good one, Craig. Oh, around the pole. That was a good one. I saw it's back. It was like five. Yeah, dude, there's. You got to, you got to get a frog on there, buddy. You're going to bring that diesel heat on him? Got to put on a filthy. Come on, baby. Love to see it. You got him. You got him. You got a clearing. There you go. Oh, there's a tasty one. There's the old grass dweller. No, baby. Noice. That fish was hungry. Well, look at this. I, when I saw the big mouth, I was like, okay, this is going to be. Definitely had a five pounder mouth. Yeah. Five pounder mouth with a one pounder body. He needs to get on that in ploppy of schools. Hey, we'll find you some bait, big boy. Oh, yeah. Captain A had breathing in the whales, baby. They probably flipped this, huh? 40 pounds. That's not big. Yeah. Swallowed it though. Look at that. Absolutely crushed it. Nicely done. Down his mouth. Saw it's back. That looked like a nice one. Yeah. It was a, I kind of like surprised it. Oh my God. He's had it. That's why. No, get in there. No, that's yours. I really want you to. I really want you to because I'm tangled. See, there's no way I can get a fish right now. Caught myself. Absolute goog and move. You had a little poppin drop. Those little ones get in between those pads. That's better. It gives it more of a target. Just stuff right here though. I'm just, it's too good. You got 20 mile an hour winds. I mean, big frog. Oh, I got one behind it. You see him like it? Yep. Just tucked it. You see him? Yep. What is that? Call it a topwater bite. Like that is pathetic, bro. That's probably eight pounder too. Literally just. Well, that's not even my small one. Maybe one of them. That little skinny one back in the woods that murdered a big one. I trimmed my tails. I gave it a haircut. You showed yourself. I don't see any big ones. These look like two pounders. They're following my spoon. They're on it. Like seven under the boat right now. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's a toad. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Come here, baby. Get him, bud. Get him out of that grass. He's in something bad. It's not good. Get him out. It's more than grass. Oh, no. Get him out. It's a log or something. Oh, you got him. It's grass. Is he on? Oh, probably not. Look at that. That's him. I lost him. No. That was a big one, dude. That was a good one. Golly. That was a good one. I did not. I just didn't get the penetration, bro. Wasn't using the right rod today. Who's pocket I'm about to hit? You are in the juice, son. The juice. All right, guys. Just lost my biggest fish of the day. So when I was leaving this morning, I was like, I was looking at a rod. There was a muscle XL rod in my office and I was like, should I grab this? Maybe Craig needs one. Maybe throw some swim base or something like that. And I thought I had a lot of muscles in my box. I have none. I don't know where they went. Maybe last Guggen week, something happened. I don't know, but I don't have them in there. So throwing a go to with a 40 pound braid. It's not the correct setup for the giants up in the shallow grass, but we've had enough bites where it's fun to keep going at it. We've also got this deep bite going on. First thing when we got out here, I lulled over. It was just out in the middle and there's like a big rock pile, lots of stuff going on down there. It's shad or out deep. It looks like a fall, like a typical fall situation. This little lake is like 40 foot deep, surprisingly. We're going to continue doing this, hit the bank, hit the spots we haven't hit yet. It seems like they want the frog paused. They're not doing what I was expecting them to and just hammering it with these conditions, having to pause it. It's not explosive. Like I was expecting. So having to do some finagling, but we've got a lot of open water fish to be had as well. Topwater is a little tough with the wind. So I'm thinking spoon, swim baits, maybe some worms even out deep. I just haven't seen any big fish on bait yet. I've seen small fish caught, some small fish, but right now all the big ones have been shallow grass. But I know somewhere out here there's going to be a school of heads that are a little bit deeper. And we just got to find it. So we'll keep frogging for now. I mean, it's not a bad time. Frogging is not a bad time. I'll throw it all day. All right. My bestie has got a feeling about a little smaller action. And he also said popping. And I said, buddy, I got you. Many popping filthy right here. Now this one's got a white belly. You're feeling that? Yeah, because this one's white. That size is fantastic. Yeah, I think that's a little center profile. Got a little pop of action. Yeah, it's thinner though. You think you got it? Yeah. Flipping buddy. There you go. That's a good one. There she is. On the old filthy popping. There she is, dude. There she is. Second the frog, baby. On the edge? Yeah, on the edge. Came out. That's a nice one. Nice one right there. On the filthy, little filthy, baby. Right on the edge there. 15 feet out in front of us. But there was like a group of five that were out in front of the brush. Oh, he's got it. Oh, little guy. This is what you mean. This is how you find them. Otherwise, there's no way you find them. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's no way you see the grass. This is a couple of sticks. There's a lay down. I don't have a water plopper in this kind of calm stuff. What do you think? Oh, good one. Need help? I got it. Get him. Get him, son. There's that one you're waiting for. Good call switching to worm. He just had it, dude. Steady blazing. There he is. Just sucked it in. Man, he's skinny too, dude. Skinny, but he wanted it. This is a very similar solution to where I caught that other. Let's do it. Recording. That textbook should be no problem. It should be a fish. Step to the edge. Oh my gosh. Get him, Craig. Yank him again. There you go. That's a good one. Oh, it's a big one, buddy. Just a giant, buddy. I think he's got it. I think he's got it. Oh my God. Hang on, hang on. Hit that spot line real quick. It's healthy down there. Look at that filmy in there. You called it. What I just said, you want this for the filthy reel? Oh my gosh. That fish was not coming off, dude. Look at this fish, bud. How big is this? Take that. You call it. I don't mean to say skinny, but we'll put them on the scale. My boy coming out of the bullpen, throwing some heat right on the point. You nailed it, bro. Perfect casts. Awesome fish. That is what I expect today. An explosion. Explosion. Absolutely explosion. Get the fish in there. No problem. That's a fister. All right, let's get that nice, slow swim off at least. All right, you ready? Let's see what it does. Beautiful. Beautifully done. An artist. Put that on the filthy frog reel right there. Craig was right. He was like, man, I think they're feeling a little bit smaller. Maybe you want that little pop. I said, dude, I got just bait for you. I'm going to go over this side and see what's out here. Oh my God. It ate it like almost at the boat. He's going up pretty fast. Yeah, he's really into making another cast. Grabbed it. Did you see that fish grab it? No, he got it. Look at him. Look at him. There's a couple of them. What are they doing? Oh, let it fall. Let it fall. They're coming up. They're coming up. They're getting excited. Dude, there's so many fish down there. Yeah, they're just like glued on the bottom. You see where I'll trap it all? That guy freaking chased it, almost ate it. Oh, here he comes. He got it. Be a good one. Come on, baby. Oh my gosh. You worked hard for that one. Dude, but you know what? There is an eight there. There was a big one. There's an eight there. Look, he's got mud on his belly. Yeah, there's a big toe at the bottom. Oh my God. Dang, that was crazy. I've never seen a man work so hard. Absolutely slurp this freaking spoon. I might turn him on, huh? Get the two powders activated. Maybe get mama and wall. Do you see my worm? Call it out. A lot of times you'll see him come up for it and turn away. Always another one coming. He's excited. Oh, you got it. This one's better. Definitely not a two. Be a good one. Oh, come on, baby. Boon. A little boog and spoon. A big rock pylor. You got a salarie cast. You got a light way on. There's a tungsten. Salarie cast. Do you see my worm? That's like a three-sixteenths. You need a big honker on there. Dude, no. That's definitely not a three-eighths. It's down there. They kind of like that little pop up and down. Let go all the way to the bottom and then give it to the pops. Oh, I see. This is neat. See how you get addicted? This is neat. Yeah, video games. I'm like right here coming up on an old big boy. Oh, there goes your worm. You're riding on him too. You son of a ****. Here's that 14. He's got the choice to make now. Which one do I want? Red or blue? Are you throwing a spoon? Oh my gosh. Saw him eat it. Where's my worm? A fish has it. It's like a five-pounder. Fish has it. Is that a Junebug Monday worm? Yeah. You son of a dick. That's the one you reckoned you said was a big one down there? It probably was, yeah. Daddy had to show you where it was. That's a healthy one, dude. He's got mud on his belly though. No, but that's a clean. That's what we thought right there. That's a health school of those babies. I love to see it. So that fish was actually not on the screen when he casted. It came from back here. I saw it come in. It came in late to the game. I was taking notes. I was taking notes. Did you get the big camera? It's such a good hit. Yep. No, sir. Good fight. Good fight. Oh, yeah. Just weighed one four-pound six ounces. Rain coming in hot. Double up of the day. Boom. Let's go, buddy. That's fun. That's fun. We got to get a good... I just said I got to throw on a spinnerbait. I've got to buy something to have with my GoPro. We got to get a good double up. Let's get a double up pick, man. Let's do it. Put a little timer on the can. We'll set it right here. Yours was four-six. Four-six, yeah. Let's let them go. All right, ready? Just like the old times. See you, dudes. Dude, I feel that cold air. All right, no. Hey, look at the sky, man. We're about to get hammered, I think. We are. This is not a great film day. I apologize, but this is a fun fishing day. I know when my back deck chime is dingin', when it's making noise, it is really blowing outside. My gosh, what a front that came in. We got absolutely poured on after that double. It was a great way to end the day, but man, it was some nasty weather. And because that weather was coming in, I thought we were going to crush fish on topwater. I really wanted to throw our two newer topwater baits that are coming, that Wakebanger and our walking bait, you have to be named. And it was just different than what I thought it was going to be. Ended up being an okay frog bite, some fish on the edges of the grass, which are always fish that live in the grass when you have a decent grass lake. But it was unfortunate that the fish were just kind of roaming and scattered. Still an awesome day with Craig. Hadn't fished with my best buddy in a long time. And he caught a sick, good, lowered turtle. I mean, every time I start talking out here, he goes crazy. Another bait that I really thought I was going to smash him on to was stolen swim bait. And I saw one of the bass spit up like tiny shad, and then I saw the schools of shad in there. And it just, you know, I just clicked with me. I was like, yeah, they're just not going to hit that. The spoon was decent, you know, typical fall thing. But without them being really positioned on that offshore cover, it just wasn't the program. It was kind of here and there. But I'm glad we got enough time to hit those grass lines and get some great bites. And I think we had four, five, four pounders. And Craig had that one six pounder. So awesome day. Awesome day. I wish we would have had more, more time without the rain coming in, but still really fun. And as this weather starts to get colder and colder in the fall, you're going to see those shad balls start grouping up more and more and getting those creek channels. And you can really catch a lot of fish at one time when you get the right conditions. When you get a good school of fish and they're all balled up, it's one of my favorite times to fish. It's always a toss up. It's just like, oh my gosh, I want to be in the Deer Woods today, but it's going to be a good bass fishing day. And you kind of have to pick and choose, but it's an awesome time to be an outdoorsman. So hope you're out there in the great outdoors hunting or fishing. I'm going to be back in the Deer Woods very soon. I really want to get a deer out of a saddle. Let's spend one of my archery goals, secondary archery goals, after the Trad, Trad bow this year. So we're going to go after that. And I have yet to get a pig close range. So anyway, you guys stay tuned for all of that. And I will see you on the next one.
