 Colonel Sanders getting after them ladies this morning. Good day y'all and welcome on back to the channel hmm We're doing some bass fishing today By the way before I forget New hoodies are available goonsquad.com use my promo code LFG save 10% of check out. I Gotta tell you what? I'm about to take this hoodie off. I came out this morning thinking. Oh, yeah My coffee's gonna be steaming. I'm gonna have that hoodie on. It's gonna be hoodie weather It's hot. I think it's like 75 out here right now and the reason I wanted to go bass fishing today Things are starting to change up in the lakes. I like that It's not super cold. Otherwise. I probably be hunting this morning. It's just too hot to hunt I don't want to be sitting up in a saddle mosquitoes attacking me I actually have not focused on bass in a little while. I've been feeling the freezer I've been focusing on on honey. So I love me a good bass challenge We're gonna head out to a local lake and see how the conditions have changed a little bit And see how can we can adapt and catch some fish with some fall tactics Take you look at this dukey right here y'all Wow Like a dagum turkey bruised it up there took a big old armster on my truck last night You know this this really is one of the best times to get out on the water a Lot of people are not fishing they're hunting So there's that aspect of it. There's less pressure and it's the transition time So they've been out in deep water in the summer For the most part you get you always got fish that are shallow that will kind of stay individually those lone wolves But in the fall those they'll start to transition back to the creeks And that's what we got to figure out. What are they doing water temperatures? It's coming up, you know, it's 68 coming up to 69 right now. Probably end up being low 70s I'm gonna start off looking at points throwing top waters and crankbaits Shad are pretty scattered out throughout the water column. It's a great time to look for birds that are Diving on shad you see that Get over there get your top water get your get your crankbaits get your shad looking things out It'd be a crime to Not start out with a top water. So we're gonna tie on two-step It's a top water walking bait This has some draw power. This is definitely something I would leave tied on all day The focus is shad. Shad are very oily Helps them build up some fat For the winter and they just start to hone in on those things. I mean look look at the shad ball That's just sitting there in like 12 foot. There's one spotted bass very Very big fall schoolers right there with the old spotted bass Just a little steady walking over a point Looks like that water temperature is gonna land right around 70 degrees Oh, that's a better one there Right on the point I mean he did not explode on it, but it's a better fish Oh, yeah, that's a good fish Take it easy with this braid right here Got him on that reaction glass So this thing's a good shock absorber with the braid We'll get down here Get down here in the seat barely hooked Not sure if I can land this guy if I sling him We're just gonna back land him There we go guys. That's a toad That's a toad largey Kind of had him hooked under the chin right there That is beautiful fish Beautiful fish. Oh, look at that. He's blind in one eye He's got one little spot right there. So cool See my dude enjoyed it That is what we came here for guys That is that seriously just made the day. That's exactly what I wanted to hope Have happened right there Little spotted bass and then boom Four pound largemouth Click-clack, click-clack, click-clack This is a really easy topwater to walk. All right, what am I gonna do now? I got my a couple topwater bites got the fill What I'm gonna do. I'm definitely keep this tied on. This is like an all day thing I want to keep I'm gonna go out to this little ridge here I'm gonna throw a jerk bait And I'm also gonna switch up I'm gonna throw a crankbait as well Might drag a worm it's a little early But just from what I saw the way the bait was Positioned up on this ridge. It looks like the fish are kind of they're pushing them up there Out here. They're kind of all scattered The bass needs something to position on and points in the fall are just paramount Paramount Paramount can't say that enough points points points Whether it's main lake going in the creeks Points are always valuable in the fall And if you're seeing the topwater kind of fade off you're still seeing little splashes. I don't think that was a bass, but If they won't fully commit coming up for topwater Jerk bait always a great alternative I just watched two little Shadbusters Up there shallow. There's one There we go. Oh, it came off. It's not feel big, but he was a fish So I'm gonna pick that topwater up again because Saw a top swirl Saw shad get busted way up there If you're seeing that even if it's noon Pick up that topwater. Don't be scared. Oh golly That one just he just missed it Oh, I actually wasn't even looking at my bait Just usually a good thing Okay, you know what I'm going to throw on a new color Crankbait right here. This is one of our new ones for the summer and fall in the in the banger It's a simple little square bill like that. We're touching bottom there. There's one right there. Oh my gosh It came off that one felt good too Felt very good It was a good thump. He thumped it like a jig I lost him Hit a rock and then it just And we are home I think that was some line or something Crankbaits typically don't run that well with 10 feet of line attached to them A little amateur tip of the day So if you're feeling that crankbait really digging the bottom You feel a good thud just stop for a second Just let it float back It'll give a fish an opportunity. They're hearing that constant banging on the rocks They're interested. They may be following it. They may hear it coming If you just pause it, it'll help you from getting hung but it'll also help you get bites So we've got a 10 pound line and we got our Our glass hybrid rod and that black series fantastic Cranker so I can get some distance on this thing Sometimes I like to go with that jam knot Double san diego jam or you'd be Eugene bend on Lighter line like eight to ten pound But those jam knots they really hold up the brake strength right at the At the connection And it'll just give you a little more leeway. You can fish a little bit longer for having to retie So I'm gonna Throw this recon. I'm gonna crank that a little bit Let's start a little milk run journey. Shall we? Take some moon baits and we're gonna hit Banks we're banking it. I'm gonna look for points with shad similar types scenarios Hell I might even go fish the dam. It's usually a good fall cranking spot It's like as soon as I came around the point. I stopped seeing shad Now if I go out into deeper water, I'm gonna see him, but I want to see him up shallow That means they're getting pinned and fed on Oh, there's a fish Oh, yeah, there's a fish right there. That feels weird Oh, it was a small mouth. That's why dad gum weirdos Weirdos. I think I was actually hung for a second and then it uh As soon as I came off the fish grabbed it a little small mouth that would have uh Actually completed the species right. I think I got I think I got something else That's a stick tree pounder trickery That would have completed the the trio. I don't know if I've ever done that out here. Maybe I have I'll catch a spot a large mouth and a small mouth the same day. Not vibing. We're gonna move Man, we've lost some fish today Keep pulling off a slack line. That's sucker. Gee whiz How many fish like that today four head shakes and then just pulled off launching it What is this? Oh my gosh. This is something gigantic This is something huge It's just wait There's no way this could be bass Oh my gosh guys This is a giant This is a bass It's going to be an absolute megalodon My goodness It feels like I have the earth It's got to be a giant catfish or something What do we have here guys? Oh my yeah, it's wanting to stay on the bottom I didn't feel a thump. So I could have snagged something but I don't know This is a giant whatever it is I can't I can't even get it up. I feel like we're about to see it. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. There it goes This is either a 12 pound bass or it is something with whiskers Giant drum This is the fabbiest thing about fishing you just never know Every time I gain on it. It just goes back down Oh my gosh big flathead Good size flathead This thing is this thing is going In the box for me Wow Big flathead and he's hooked right on the outside of the face Wow, that's a good one That is a good one there guys I'm gonna try to clasp it into the mouth Oh wow Look at that beast right there. Oh the crankbait just fell out. Oh my goodness That is a PB crankbait for that was a PB Flathead out here for me They get a lot bigger than that. Let's just let's get a weight on this guy Eight 8.8. Oh my goodness That is a delicious eater right there. Let's take a look at that hammer What a pretty fish Now some people call these apollousus because of the color But you know, they're flathead catfish and you can see why Got that big flathead and they just sit on the bottom like a rock And they're active feeders. So they will hit crankbaits. They will hit bass lures And I'll catch them every once in a while on bass lures I actually catch more of these on bass lures than I do when I'm jug lining So just incredible we are going to slap the sides off of that baby. Stay tuned for that Man cannot wait cannot wait to put that thing With some spices a little better rice. Whoo, son That's gonna feed the family for a couple meals The silver bullet and I We threw in the towel guys after that catfish No bites nothing was happening But I actually got the amount of bites that I wanted to Today the two I actually landed were on top water And then I got bites on jerk baits and crankbaits And they were just pulling off pulling off perfect data crank I felt good about it and I had the bites that I wanted to but We did not put together a big sack.
