 Today we're doing the $100 versus $10,000 budget fishing challenge. I'm out here with my boy Fletcher today. One of us is going to get the $100 and another one is going to get 10 grand. We are out here today at Fletcher's Tackle Garage and we're going to be picking out some baits, rods, reels, and any other accessories to fill out our budget. The first person to catch a fish on five different lures wins the challenge. Now it's time to decide who gets the $100 and who gets the $10,000, baby. Alright guys, this is how this is going to work. Now I'm going to need you to step right over here, young lad, I'm going to put a number behind my back. It's either going to be one or two. You're going to have to guess which one it is and if you do, you get the $10,000 budget. Okay, before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed, so if you could, take the time and hit the subscribe button. It really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. I got the number behind my back now. What do you think it is? My lucky number is two. Okay. Your face sounds like you're holding up a one. I'm going to go with two. I'm going to go with two. It was two. I was like changing the number behind my back. Like why you said two. Like you said two. I had it two. I had it two. I changed it to one. Guys, it looks like your boy is coming in with the 10 grand and we're going to be spinning that today at Fletcher's Tackle Garage. So what that means Fletcher is you got the $100 budget. You're actually going to be picking your tackle out first and then I get to spin 10 grand in the Fletcher Tackle Garage and whatever I buy today, I get to take home. We can rethink that at the end. If you beat me, you can keep the $100 budget stuff. Boys. $100? Come on Fletcher. Come here. You're taking your hand. What am I getting paid to be in this video? That is a little ballsy. That is a little ballsy. We're going to go ahead and start off Fletcher. You get $100. Let's go ahead and hop into it. All right guys. We're going to have to pick out a rod, reel, line, tackle and we need to get at least five lures but I might get more just in case we need to make some like adjustments. I'd rather have more than five lures so I'm having trouble with one. I can at least switch to something else that these fish might be more enticed by. What if I donated $50 to you? Dude, I was totally kidding in the first place. Hey, don't get your hopes up. I don't need any handouts, man. All right. Okay. So this is what I'm thinking. We got a very small selection of rods that are under $100 that are going to leave us room for five lures at least. We have this guy. This is like the push button combo. This is $44.99 so $45 that give us like $55 to get some stuff. I could definitely make that work. We also have the Zebco Rome bait caster and I think this is like similar price. It looks like it says $59.99 so that would give us $40. I'm not really like thrilled with the amount of money I have left over for either of those so that's going to leave us probably with this bucket here. We have some push buttons. These are like 20 bucks up top. We got a docked demon that's like another $20 but we do have this guy right here. This combo, rod, reel, line, the whole nine yards is only $20. $19.99 I believe is what this thing costs. We actually addicted earlier and I know that's exactly what it costs. So I think we're going to go with this. I'm just going to leave this little T-Rig on here. I think that's just, you know, that's just coming. That's a little bonus. You know? Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What are you charging me for? This T-Rig. I'm thinking about $12.50. $12.50 dude? What is this bullet weight made out of? Freakin' diamonds. This is tungsten. This is tungsten. All right. You can have it for free. Now that we got a rod, a reel, and our line taken care of, we got to get the tackle. So let me go ahead and grab this tackle box and bring it over here so we can take a look at this bad boy. So we're going to need to make a few selections here. Right now, I'm thinking our $20 combo, not a lot of backbone, a lot of noodling going on. This thing is definitely more noodle-like than rod-like. So we're going to need some stuff that is just going to kind of do all the work for me. Treble Hooks is going to be the move if the fish will bite them. So I'm going to get a wide range of Treble Hook baits. We're going to go right to some of my favorites. We got the Mach Bouncer, boom by the bean. This thing's about $15. That thing always gets the job done for me. I've been catching some really good fish with that recently. We also have a Mach Workbait. I'm kind of liking this sexy shad color. This one is also $15. So we're making a little bit of a dent, but I wanted to have a lot of room for lures here. One of my all-time favorite baits. You just can't beat it. The Strike King Two Tap, fabulous. Honestly, if you have not thrown this bait, you are missing out. This thing does nothing but catch giant fish. I promise you, this is going to get the job done for me today. Outside of that, I'm thinking we're good for this box for now. We might come back to it, but let's take a peek into some of these other ones. We got another crank bait box here, and this one has a little bit of different stuff. I was hoping that I would have a Chick Magna and a sexy shad, but I think we can make it work with the chartreuse, and I guess it's not black. It's kind of like a crimson red. We got 15, 30, 40. I think this is 10, so 50, 20, 70. We got 30 more dollars to spend on lures. We're looking good right now. I'm not going to lie, guys. So I'm thinking a few topwater options. Let's bust into this box. Nothing like throwing a little topwater. I get my favorite topwater of all time, the Strike King Sexy Dog. Whoa, dude, that was crazy. What, dude? That was crazy. Yeah, that took a second. We're also going to go with this little Strike King Popper. That'll probably be good for the topwater. Actually there's one more treble hook topwater in here, and that is this little wake bait. Let's go ahead and grab that too. We're looking at like mid-nineties there. We got our T-Rig set up already, so we have that stuff with our rods, so maybe just like a few more soft plastics. Let's get a Rage Crawl, a Rage Menace, one of those in a different color each, just so we have options, or if we lose one. Outside of that, I think we have a few more crawls and another bag, unless Noah stole them. Maybe I did. Maybe you did. Maybe you did. Maybe you did. Maybe I did. Maybe you did. Maybe you did. Maybe I did. You'll never know. You okay? I know it's kind of depressing having only $100. We're good over here. We got that. We got... It comes down to you taking one crawl out of each pack. We need colors. We need colors. I don't know what the water clarity looks like, dude, and I'm on a budget. We got to make do. That's six baits. We need two more, and that'll put us at $5, which is roughly $100. If we're like 50 cents over, and you got a problem with that, I don't care. Let's grab a worm, and another worm, and a black and blue, and a green. I think that completes our thing. We got four different soft plastic selections. We got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different treble hook baits. We got our rod set up, and that comes in all at around right $100, and we're going to be able to make adjustments on the water when we need to, when we want to, and whatever we need to do to beat Noah's butt. So Fletcher, what do you think about your $100 budget? I promise I won't bring it. I promise my finger trigger is perfectly placed. I'm thinking that this $100 budget is going to get the job done. We have a wide range of selections. We got probably 10 different lures to go through, and we're going to be able to make adjustments on the water as needed. Okay, boys, you know what time it is, baby? This is a fun prop. You know what I mean? We just whip this thing out every video, and we would have a lot of fun with it. So now we get to go to the $10,000 budget. We haven't spent this much money or had this much money given to us from Daddy Fletcher on the channel before, so we're going to go ahead and hop into it. I'm going to set our torch down, and the first thing that I'm going to pick out today is obviously going to be the most hefty on our budget. So if we have $10,000 to spend, you're really looking in this garage at, like, what can we buy? I mean, over here, we got a beautiful flat boat that we could possibly take out, but I do not think. Yeah, this one is going to run you a little over 10K. So what are you thinking? Like, let's bargain here. Are you trying to bargain? I mean, maybe I could. Like, you know, throw out a number. 9,000. I'm thinking, like, $9,999. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to work. So boys, we could always get a kayak, but do you have any kayaks here? Yeah, man. I actually have the perfect kayak for you, dude. This is, like, child size and everything. You're crazy. $250, the Quest Mino does not disappoint. You know, I actually really like it, but the problem I have with this is I actually saw what Fletcher did on it last time, and you almost sink the boat, bro. Well, dude, it's okay, because you're, you know, 4'9", and, like, we're balling on a budget, Fletcher. The max capacity is, like, you know, five foot, 150 pounds. I mean, that works. I mean, I'm, like, 4'7", so it might, it might work, you know? We actually have this twin-troller boat, which we use on the channel a lot when we come over to Fletcher's. Would you be willing to sell this to me, sir? Yeah, we can, we can bargain for this thing. Retails at about five grand for the boat. Okay. So you get about five Gs in the boat. Then we got about $3,000 worth of electronics. That's going to put you at about eight grand. And this full tackle system, if you want the whole thing, ballparking, I'm thinking like $800 to $1,200. What if I give you a grand, bro? That'll make you feel better. What you thinking about a grand? A grand and $100 percent of the value. So that literally gives you... $1,100. It's got at least $100. Okay, $1,100. So that means I have $900 to spend in your tackle shop if I purchase this whole boat how it sits. Yeah. That's about... I think we got a deal, sir. I think we got a deal. I'm going to find the papers after the video. Not on camera. We don't need the information out. All right, boys. So since we just bought a brand new boat, we are going to go into Daddy Fletch's garage and pick out whatever tackle we want. With $900, we can pick out just about whatever. I already have a lot of tackle in the boat, but I think I'm going to pick out some other baits. But before we do that, let's go ahead and take a look at combos. Okay, Fletcher. That's definitely... You got way more money than that. Way more money than that. But I was like actually really thinking this, like I didn't know if I was going to have to spend like way too much money on the boat, you know? Dude, this will set you back a whopping $7.99. Yeah, I don't know. Where's your expensive stuff, Fletcher? I think I got a little bit of money to spend. We got a bunch of spinning combos. There's some nice spinning combos here. You got the kicking. I actually really like this one. Where did you buy this thing, bro? Dude, kickingthebatstv.com. It can be down below. You haven't already clicked on it, bro. They need to click on it like right now. We haven't clicked on the link already. What are you doing? Kickingthebats.com, baby. Link can be down below. I think I got to go with the kicking combo. This is only $100. That doesn't even put a damper in our budget. I think we need to spend in combos. So we're going to go ahead and lay this in the boat. Can I buy my own? Yeah, you can buy your own combos. What if I buy it? Okay, $150, $150, $300, $500. Okay, we're buying all three. All three combos. Yeah, because... Now let me tell you why. So we got a mock crush right here, right? Beautiful mock crush. This has better line than my other kicking combo. That line on there is old, so I really want to have a reliable one. So we're going to buy this. $250. We're also going to have another fluoro kicking combo just to have it. You jealous? And then we have a kicking braid setup, which we can throw any top orders on. So that leads us to our next objective. We got fishing poles. We picked out four. I think we have more than enough. Let's go ahead and get over to the baits. Have you hit $900, man? You got a lot of fishing rods. So $250 on that one, $150 on each kicking combo. So that's $550 plus $100 kicking combo. It's only $650 out of my $900 budget, so I got $250 to sit on baits. I could definitely use some more of this, man. Does this work? Yeah, that might just load the back of the boat. Hope that we don't sink. Yeah, that's what I should have bought and just sunk your boat. So boys, I love traps. I think we're going to go with this two tap right here. Got to make it happen. I'm a junkie for rage crawls. It's got to go in the box. You know, do you want any of my tackle boxes? These are like $100 pop. $100 pop. We got about $7 plus $5. You got my $12 bucks. $100 levis. Okay. Let's see what we're working on. Why am I picking out individual baits? This one's got a wide... You have a full body. You have literally a full tackle system. I'm going to buy both of these. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me double check on something. Hold on, sir. I'm running an extremely low on hooks and terminal tackle. Okay. Well, it looks like I got a couple wide gap hooks. That's what I need. You got bullet weights. Yeah, that's pretty good, dude. I think I'm going to call it there. I think we were about at $9,950. Just about if I got those two tackle boxes. You sure you don't want to spend that extra $50? What you got for me, man? Nothing. What about the torch, bro? You're going to get a discount on that. Dude, I got just the thing. $50. Follow me. Follow me. What you got for me, man? No peeking. No peeking. No peeking. Hold on, dude. Hold on. Fletcher, how much is this electric motor, bro? Like two grand. Dude, I probably could have bought it on the back of it. We can't get back on it, man. Maybe next video. If you guys want to see that, let me know. Fletcher, are you done over there, man? You know, we're just... I'm giving you a little variety pack, a little flare for your fishing adventure. And, you know, if I'm going to get... give you these special baits, I can use these at least one time. And if you don't, you know, my things are going to be hurt. What'd you say? I couldn't hear you. We got a few things. We got a few things. This is a nice little $50 package. What? $50 for all of that. For all of these? That's a steal, bro. We got a lizard. Topwater lizard. A topwater turtle. Bro, the lizard's brought in. It's a thought that counts. Okay, it is. It is. Thank you, Fletcher. A crab. This thing actually kind of looks funny. That thing would probably be smart. And a bat. Why not add some weird lures to the challenge? I don't know if I will fish with them today. That's why you guys got to stay tuned and find out. Fletcher, I got way too much tackle. Like the boat might sink. Sucks to suck, man. You got your own problems to deal with. I'm just going to do my thing with my $100 budget. And you can figure out how you want to manage all this. I'm a simple man with simple things. And we got one mission. Catch five fish on five different lures. And we're going to get the job done. All right, boys. Just got the boat in the water. Got a little Fletcher up there. Are you ready to make it happen? I'm ready, man. Dude, I got my little bucket of goodies right here. Check that out, y'all. We got all the stuff we need to kick this guy's butt. You know, he's got all the fancy stuff. He's got $10,000 worth of stuff. The boat, the electronics, all the rods, all the gear. But it doesn't have the heart and the desire that I have. You can't put a price on that. And you know, that's going to be the difference maker today. All right, brother. Well, best of luck. You're going to be on the bank. I'm going to be on the boat. And the challenge starts now, baby. All right, guys. Let's get into it. Let me skedaddle this way. We have a good little bank to work with at this pond. So let me go ahead and get down to the good stuff. This spot has delivered for me time and time again. I've got a lot of fish off this bridge. There's only one move to make right now. And that's the two tap. If I can't catch a fish on this, then I'm just giving up on the challenge. All right, boys. It is time to get it started. I think I'm going to spice it up here and throw this frog in this pocket. Just for a minute. You know, the sun's coming down tonight. Some of these fish might be a little more active than they should be at this hour. We might could get us a topwater bite here. So I'm going to start in this little pocket and throw around some of this grass of this frog and see if we can get a fish real quick. I can kind of skip this frog up under some of these laydowns and up in some of this grass. And it'd be nice to go ahead and start one off on a topwater. Rigged and ready to go. I'm going to start fan casting this thing across this back area over here. We got a lot of shade. These fish are probably starting to come out from those trees, starting to roam around a little bit. This bird is stalking my frog. If I catch a bird on topwater, okay, that definitely doesn't count. If I caught a random species, that definitely counts because it's a fish, but I don't think a flying creature would count. With me saying that this is probably going to throw this frog. There might be a little telling sign right now, which I thought we'd figure that out pretty quick. They just might not want topwater. So we're actually going to put this rod down. I actually have another bait rigged up that we used previously that I've had so much fun with, which is a lizard. Texas Rig Lizard. We have been killing it on that recently and I have a lot of confidence in it. So let's give it a shot. Nothing on the first cast. First cast with the two tap. Then that's all it's going to take. Oh, two casts. Two casts. That's all it took. Oh man. And my gut instinct was right. Come on in here, baby. Come on in here. We got one, Noah. That is not good. Fudge is already on board, bro. Yes, sir. Get your booty on the bank. Boom by the bank. She's stuck in the grass. I do not come off here. We need you on the bank in my hands account. Got her in the hands. Fish number one. Bait number one. Four more to go. I haven't heard any ruckus from Noah. So I think we're in the lead right now. $100 budget going to work. So I'm talking about that heart grit and determination that Noah just doesn't have. I got it. And it's going to be the difference maker here today. There's actually a really big fish. That's the glorious part about us spending this money on the boat and the graphs. I can try to target some of these fish out deeper if Fletcher won't be able to see. That could either haunt us or it could help us. Give her a snip of the snip. Boom by the bank. Crank bite seems to be kind of fire. Not going to lie, guys. Not going to lie. A little mug bouncer. Never hurt nobody besides Noah's feelings from dominating them in every challenge that I've used this bait in. Big mistake. I just caught this fish but I didn't have my GoPro rolling and I hate to say it but I don't think that counts. That's going to set us back big time. Oh my gosh. What a huge mistake on my part. I just don't think it's fair if you guys didn't see me catch it. And I actually targeted some of these fish down on the bottom with this active target and I reeled that chatter dog right by him and he just freaking destroyed it. There's a little hole in the area that we can get the bite. They were right off his steep bank here. That's the one that's steepest banks in the pond. See if we can get another one to bite. That sucks, boys. I just want to play ethical here. Oh, and I just got bit. That's why you play ethical. Because next cast you're just going to get slammed. Let's go, baby. Here we go. First bait checked off the list pretty much twice and that's a freaking nice one. Look at how he ate that. Dude, that's a good three pounder. Let's go, baby. Here we go, boys. First fish done. Almost a three pounder. It's probably two and a half, but we will take him and that is our first bait knocked off the list. My old confidence bait. Let's get this puppy back in the water. Thank you, baby. Thank you. Beautiful. Oh, no, it was on the board. Shucks. Shucks. Okay, let's fire this thing in there. It looks like he's the life scoping fish out there if I had to guess. You know, I don't need $3,000 worth of electronics. Well, we got the heart and the determination that I have. That's all you need in a life, baby. All right, boys. I'm targeting in a few more. Right off this bank. There's actually a good bit of fish up there. See if we can catch one on this lizard real quick. Knock out two baits really fast. That would be very productive for us. We got to play to our shrinks, guys. We got a flimsy noodle. Rod and some fluorocarbon and some treble hook baits. A good combination for the dub. Come on. One more fish off of this bridge. Was that just some two tap magic or is there more fish to be caught on the cranks around here? Are you scoping them out there? Yeah. You dirty dog. Hey, I got to scope them with the $10,000 budget, boy. You dirty dog. You dirty dog. You're going to find them stacked somewhere. Well, I got some work to do, dude. I already knocked out my favorite lure, so hopefully some fish are enticed to buy some other things besides the two tap. All right, boys. I think I'd feel a little better off tying on a two tap. I feel like I have more confidence. These fish are actually moving a good bit, too. They're not, like, staying to the bottom. So I'm just going to move and bait here and see if we can get one on that. Tied this beautiful straight king two tap. There he is. Oh, my gosh. I had him right away. That is insane, man. I had a fish on my first cast on this thing two tap. See if we can get him to bite again. God, Lee, boys. It's only about four foot out here. I really feel like we could find some fish stacked up if we just move around. All this bank stuff has really grown up around here. This used to all be super fishable. My $100 budget with a lack of watercraft right now is really hindering my ability to get the job done. We're going to be careful with the gators here again. Approach this slow methodically. I'm wasting too much time looking at my graph guys. I can't get distracted here tonight. We just got to put Fletcher to the dust. Make sure we don't give him a chance to catch up here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Fish number two. Fish number two. All right. Let's get you up here. Let's get you up here. Mach Bouncer going to work. Oh, yeah. That is what I'm talking about. Another healthy chunk. Probably about two and a half. Maybe three. I think she's just shy. High two. His number is here today. On five different lures, we got two knocked out. Three to go. We're doing pretty solid considering the difference in budget here. Come on, baby. Get out of there. Oh, sorry. Oh, my gosh. There's a reason they call me Butterfingers back in the day. Sorry about that, baby. Let's get you back in. Next on the list, we got the chick magnet. And that is actually our last current bait, unfortunately. Let's hope we can get him to bite something besides a crankbait. Oh, oh, oh, my gosh. I was running the boat so fast. I was paying attention to that gator. Okay. We got to be very careful. That is our second fish, but that gator is somewhere very close. Because I just went over him. Okay. We're just going to flock you up, Bubba. All right, boys. That is second fish. You're on board almost lost him because I was going dang 10 miles an hour. Did you catch him trolling? I wasn't trolling, but I was really an ultra fast. All right, boys. Let's see what else we got. So it was a little iffy on the whole crankbait action or just throwing a lipless in general. But something's telling me to tie another one on and just get a reaction bite. So we're actually going to tie on this little crankbait right here for our third bait of choice and see if we can get one to commit. Come on. Eat the chick magnet. Is that what you're throwing? Yes, sir. That's what I got on. Won't just double up. So you got two. I got two. We're tied, baby. And we are both throwing a chick magnet. Who will catch one on the chick magnet first? That's the real question. I guess we're about to find out. No, it doesn't got the Riz like I do with the with the chick magnet. I'm going to Riz them up. Yes, not happening over here. These flies are absolutely driving me crazy. So we're going to get out of that spot and keep the train moving. They're parallel with this tree line right here. I'll be some fish just roaming this edge. Just eat me. I just want to get a bait above flush. And then just be patient and get a couple more bites and win this challenge. Oh, oh, no. Oh, no, he came off. Dang it. Oh, that's not what we needed. I mean, one of these lay-downs have to have a fish, right? That's all I see. This is a good bank. Got some lay-downs. There we go, boys. There we go. Fish number three. Speak it into existence, baby. Speak it into existence. Third fish, that means third bait complete. And we're here on to the fourth, baby. Just two more fish and we get this dub. I'm impressed. Watch your house, two fish. He's keeping up with me. Even with having a $100 budget versus having a boat with $10,000. That just shows you guys that even though you don't have a boat, you still have a good chance of still catching fish. And that's why it's good. If you guys don't have a boat, I totally understand bank fishing still can be just as good as being on the boat. I believe I can cast. I believe I can catch a bass. I believe no get last. Oh! Boys, we found the rage crawls. They were hidden back there. The action on this bait is spectacular. My confidence with this bait is through the roof. One of my favorite baits of all time. And I think we'll catch one pretty quick on this. There we go, boys. Let's get after it. All right. Oh my gosh. The bird just went jumping. I don't know what just happened. Dude, I think we just got hit right away, boys. Oh, things just nibbling at the tail. That was like instantly, guys. I just tied on this rage crawls first cast. Oh, I just pulled it. Oh, dude, he bit it again. Oh, he's got it. There we go, boys. There we go. Oh my goodness. Amazing. We were only fishing with that rage crawl for minutes. That's why we got to have our confidence, Bates. Let's go, baby. That is four fish right there. Not a big one, but he's fat. And now we just need one more fish, guys, to complete this challenge. I have no idea where Fletcher went. I saw him earlier. I don't know how many fish he's at. So we still need to hustle here. There we go. Thank you, baby. Beautiful one. Little gold glow on that fish. Number four, one more to go. All I know right this second is I've been throwing the chic magnet for a hot minute and absolutely has nothing come of it besides a possible bite. So let's go ahead and put that back in our little container here and switch gears to something else. Let's go with this little mock work bait. All right, boys. I'm debating to switch it up. I threw some crawls there. I threw a lizard and then I threw a crawl. I wonder if there is a stick bait, like a little Sanko somewhere, but I just don't seem to have any out of our $10,000 budget, which is just crazy. Oh, actually, we do got a Sanko. And that's a very smelly one. These baits, guys, freaking stink. Oh, they're kind of dried up. Oh, that one ain't. I don't even think that one's one of the stinky ones. That's why it's not dried up. I think we're just going to put this thing on our Texas for you guys. I wish I could keep throwing the rage crawl, but that is not how this challenge works. The catch has to be on all different baits. So for our final bait, we're going to try out the Sanko. We might end up switching up if we don't get bites, so stay tuned. Let's work our way right back down to where all the action is through the tree. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Yep, there goes the shoes. That was a hole in the bank. All right. Now that my feet are soaking wet, and I've been absolutely sworn by no seams in every other South Carolina insect that exists, better catch a dang fish. I literally just heard a crazy blow up right under that tree, and I just skipped right in there. Come on, baby. That was a good sound now. There he is, boys. There he is. Let's go. That is the fifth fish of the challenge. Switched up from the Sanko. Tied on the Chick Mag... Let's see if we can land this fish. He is barely hooked. Come on, boy. Let's go, boys. Let's go. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, hit the like button, and we'll catch you all in the next one.
