 So we just hopped on this lake. It's been a while since we've been here. Got my boy Chance with me today. It's been forever. It's been a while, yo. Feels good to get back on the water. It's been so long. The first day I actually fished with Chance was on this lake, wasn't it? He almost hooked his dad in the eye. It was a crazy day. We caught like a hundred fish though. Was it that day or was it the next time? We caught like- I think the next time was a hundred fish. Yeah, we caught so many fish in eye. It was just an amazing day overall. This pond is super clear. It's a smaller little lake. I mean, you could kind of call it a lake, right? When you got a boat in here. Yeah, we got a boat in here. It's a lakeish slash pond. It's been a while since I've been here. I filmed one episode here last year where we caught them on bed and we're back at it today and we're gonna be trying to catch some big fish. And if you guys are wondering about the conditions, we got a tiny bit of wind today. In the skies, bloober skies. There's not a cloud to be found. I think we're gonna have to slow down today. And the water clarity in this pond, why don't you show them, Chance? With that red eye shadow right there. How clear the water is in here. On a good day, you can see about 10 foot down, which is just insane. You can almost see the bottom. So we're gonna get at it today. There are a bunch of different baits, which we're gonna talk about here in a moment. Hopefully land us a five plus pounder. Look at this. Was that your first cast? First cast, yeah. On the red eye shadow. No way. And there's an amazing, good one too. I don't even have my GoPro on. Want me to grab him? Yeah, that's a good one. Look how fat he is, right there. Freaking awesome. Go ahead with that. Go ahead and let him go. He's bleeding a little bit. This man, really trying to do it right now. So this is what we're gonna throw. So this is the one that we smacked him on a Lakemare. If you guys haven't seen that episode, highly suggest you go back.

Go check out that Lakemare video. We had a great time, but we were smoking them on that red eye shadow right there. And they were munching it pretty good. The one that you're throwing is like what? A little sexy shed? Yeah, it's like a sexy shed. Short truce? Short truce. He did catch one on his first cast. And if I know anything about that, it's either really good luck or... Most of the time it's really good luck out here. It is, but like the first cast, are you weird about that? First cast? No, not out here. All right, let's see. Chance is already talking a little bit of smack, so hopefully we'll end up smoking them. All right, there we go. Let's see what we can do. All right, guys, we're gonna start this off. Lipless crankbait. See what we can make happen. Chance got one on his first cast. That's a good sign. And we just gotta try to duplicate it. I don't know. Hopefully it was some good luck. This water is so clear. The visibility is insane out here. I'm just really hoping we run into a four to five, maybe six, maybe 14, you know? Maybe 17, just never know. Might be one in here, right? I can't believe he choked it like that. First one. Is that what you're saying that she got two? Oh, no, it's not those, they're really on the ground. He ate it up on the bank. No, it's bone in there, that wasn't me. I can't believe he ate it that good. I'll get the first cast out of the way. So we can end up with a short one and empty it. Yeah. There's no way they're betting already. This is all this cold. All right, so we've been fishing for a minute. Ever since Chance caught that first fish on the first cast, we have yet to have a bite. So I'm gonna switch up to one of these Z twos. You know, we talked about them recently. These are the Elastic Flux and they're very durable. They can catch 10 fish on each one. This is actually a Smokin' Shad color. Let's see what the exact name is. Smoky Shad. We're gonna rig this up. It's a regular three-yacht EWG hook. Start casting it around. I'll tell you the Smokin' Shad right now while the sun is glaring down, it has these little blue and silver glimmers within the bait and the sun bounce off that really well and reflect in the water. But we're gonna throw that around for a bit around these little grass piles and see if we can get something to come out. This fish are a little more finicky today. Hey, I see fish eating bait right there. Chance on the edge of that grass. Kind of where I just casted. I mean, I got that punch in there just in case I need to flip back up in that little puddle. Remember that? Yeah. Shad, try it with the punch rig. I think I should just shoot for the fences for all that. You see all the bait. That is so deep. Good one, it surprised me. Get him. Big one. That's a good one, hey. How in the world do you get it? Pretty good one. Two pounder. There you go. You give him on a curl. A little creature bait. A little creature bait. When you leaned into him, he seems so big. Choked it. Nice. Oh my God. Ho, ho, hold up. Are they gonna do this now? That was insane. He hit me so hard, I literally felt it on my toes. My fish has hammered this. There he is. Got a whole bucket of salad with him. Let's go. Or that's how you wanna catch him. I don't even know if I want that weighed anymore. That's fun. That's so much fun. Oh man, I haven't caught him punching in a very long time. Not a big bass, but hey, he's a pretty one. Just get a little nice shot. Look at that one. That's my first fish today. Three fish total, right? Yes. And that is awesome to catch one punching like that, flipping the edge of this grass. He actually bit me the cast before and I got him that second time. Let's get him back in the water. Just have pretty markings on these fish and this clear water. She just flashed me all over my face. All right, let's get back in there. You should have felt the way that fish hit it the first time. It was like, dude, the whole rod bounced. So guys, this is also, you know, I went down to Florida. I got these new super duty combos by Luz. Big shout out to David for getting these over to me before my Florida trip. This is my second time using them rather than the Florida trip. And let me tell you, they're actually very sensitive. The way that that fish just hit the bait was insane. Like I could feel the whole vibration all the way down to my toes. That was crazy. But we actually had a little rage crawl on there. We're gonna have to change that out. And we're gonna get back in there. Hopefully we can catch them on the edge like that because if we can catch them punching, I'm probably not gonna stop throwing it. And the crawl that we're gonna throw is actually my favorite color of all time. This is a summer crawl by Striking, the rage crawl. I bought, I used to buy like 10 packs of these at a time for some of the high school tournaments back in the day. This color smokes, have you used this much? This color? It's a juice. You know, we've always talked about punching this place and we never did. We never did. We always talked about it though. One day I came out here, I was gonna punch. I brought my punch in there and everything. Yeah. I was catching them so good on the trap, I didn't even pick it up. That's where the big ones are, dude. They have to, yeah, they have to. Oh, he came off, dude, no way. I saw him. He had a big head on him, didn't he? I got a little, I got a little nervous, man. I get so nervous punching like this with people on the boat. Like if I was by myself, I would, I rip the fish's head off like, but when I have people in the boat with me and you have a two ounce weight, the last thing I want is smack Cody in the side of the shoulder with it. That would not be good. So I gotta be a little careful. If I would have hooked that right when he bit it, I probably would have caught him, but that was cool. He was deep in that stuff, dude. Just a big boy. Oh my God, you backlash my reel. Oh, you see him right there? Did he come off? Look, he has my bait. Or no, no, no, wait, he's still on. Oh God, he's a good big one, dude. I thought he was off. That's a four pounder. Get him, Chance. That's what we need right there, brother. Get him, boy. He's three pounds, not four. They look big in that clear water. That's a good one though. Nice. Oh yeah. That's the ones that we're looking for today. The punching rig, that's a good fish. This is just a mean looking guy. Gosh, that is a good bass right there. Look at his nose, it's a little messed up. Best fish today so far. Still punching the edge of this grass. That one is actually a little further up in there. It's funny because I leaned back, hooks at him. Next thing you know, I thought he came off and I just had the grass and I saw him swimming down there and the bait was still in his mouth. So, that's a pretty fish right there. Let me see if we can keep on catching some and upgrading. Yeah, God, I'm gonna, dude, I'm already getting my workout. He's in that stuff, dude. Oh yeah, he's right there. That's a dang good one too. Look out. Look at that. Look at that. Gotta love it. Rage crawl on the back of his mouth. Stuck him good, dude. I'm telling you, I'm getting a workout early today. I still haven't gone to the gym but hey, we getting it with these fish. Pulled him out of this slop. It's another little nice one. So, we actually went down this bank and we were talking earlier, you know, you can have all these straight grass banks but then you have these little tiny spots to have. Little divots, little tiny pockets in the grass, little nipples that come out and that's where those bigger fish are sitting. And right here on this back bank, this is where I actually caught the first one, has a lot deeper water. I think that's where some of those bigger fish are and these fish are fat and healthy. We need to get back in there and see if we can catch another one but that's, it's all a little two pounder. Nice, that's a big. He's right there, he's right there. Hey, go in, go in, go in, go in. Go in, I'm gonna grab him. He's like right here. Let me see if he jumps. Might've went back in. Might've gone back in. Guys, that sucks right there. That was a good fish. I was, I pitched all the way back. You almost got like this little tiny puddle right here behind the grass and I was working that puncher. Usually I like flip it in there and I go up about three, four times and then I really back in but I for some reason started doing it a little bit longer probably on like the sixth pump that fish hammered it and I saw his belly. It looked like he was about four pounds and he just came off right there. This two ounce weight just has so much momentum and it can sling it out of their mouth so easy. Just as easy as you can hook them. We're gonna get back in there. There might be another one. There on that fluke. Ate it like a topwater. Probably my smallest fish of the day but that was fun. I'll tell you that. After catching all those on that punching rig, throw in there at the fluke. That's a Z2 right there. Skinny little bass but he ate it just like a topwater. So much fun. Right there on the edge of this grass we noticed that this bank was a lot shallower and I couldn't really get that punching rig down in there. You know, I wanted some deeper water to flip into. So I picked up that fluke started casting across this grass and that's a pretty old bass. That's a good one too. Dude, that is fat as can be dog. Look at that fish. That's the fattest fish we caught out of here dude. Look at that thing. He ate it right in front of the boat. That's insane dude. I think God he didn't come off. Look at that fat belly. You got them black markings all over him. Look at that one right there guys. I don't know if that's the biggest one but I can definitely say that's the fattest fish of the day. You look on his tail you can only see these black markings on this bass. And it's crazy because we were so close to that patch right there right in that corner. It had a lot of deep water on it. That fish is over three pounds right there. Fat belly, it's chunky. Get him back in the water. That's a football. That's the ones we've been looking for today. He ate that punching rig right in front of us. There she goes. So we just got off the water. We got off the water about an hour ago. We kind of had a situation where Chance's truck got stuck and kind of show you guys. Wait till you see how much dirt is in his boat. This is a situation but we got it taken care of. Stayed out here for a while, got us a good change I'll tow them out of here. I feel so bad, look at this. But we got the situation taken care of and if you guys enjoyed this video, if you could, please hit the like button. We've got some more amazing content coming soon.
