 As you can tell from the last few episodes, springtime is here and the big bass are biting. This is my record day of bass fishing. Our best five bass weighed well over 30 lbs. I can't even describe the insanity of this video, so just sit back and enjoy this episode of Kicking Their Bass TV. Yeah, he did. Yeah, there he is. I got him. Really? It's your PB? Oh, I forgot. Connor caught his PB and we got it on scale, so make sure you stick around for that. Alright guys, we just got out here and I've seen a ridiculous amount of fish on the graph, like even more than the other day when I had my best day out here. So I think we're in for a treat today. This isn't after a cold front. It's just if they're going to bite, but I see the fish. I see the fish stacking up better than they were. So we're going to keep scanning and see what we can do here. I'm going to probably start off with this 6xD right here. This is what I was cranking them on pretty good the other day. There's so many teeth marks on that bait. I caught like 70 fish on this thing. Also the spoon right here, killer bait. Underspin killer bait. We also have a chatter-donk on the Kicking Combo. And if you guys are wanting to check out some of the Kicking Their Bass TV, 6x lose combos, you can check them out on KickingTheBass.com. I'll leave the link down below. And any of the other lose combos, you can check those out on the news. We're going to get started with this. I'm probably going to crank. These fish are moving really fast today, surprisingly. 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, hit the subscribe button. Really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. I know there's a school of fish out here that are between 8 to 10 pounds. If we can find that, we might sack up a 50 pound sack today. Also, if we can get them fired up, that's another thing with it. Once you catch one or two on this crank bait, I feel like it tends to fire them up. So have you thrown one this deep? I have. You're going to crank as fast as you can until you hit bottom. Once you hit bottom, you can slow it down. I was burning it that day. Like, they were eating it either way. That's a big one on the bottom right here. Call him. You see him? Look, I'm coming up on him. See that? Hopefully he fires up right here. Look at him behind me. See, he didn't want to eat it. Did you see that? Yep. Yeah, he did. He frickin' followed it up to the boat. Four pounder. Get it started. I choked it, too, guys. I didn't even have any eat it like that the other day. Well, we got to start. I was going to put him in the box to take a cool picture at the end of the day of us. But since he's bleeding, I'm just going to put him back in the water. Ain't that something? He totally didn't want to eat it, dude. And just, I was pulling my crankbait up. On Lake Lanier, I've caught some big spots doing that. Wow. Well, guys, we are six minutes into today's video. And we got us a solid three of these fire jets, guys. Boy, they ran by Bass Pro the other day and got some hair jigs. Probably something that you guys haven't even seen on the channel in at least five years. So, yeah, we're going to tie this on my kick-in-the-bass combo. It's a half-ounce hair jig. It's got, like, white and chartreuse. It's a nice little colorway. We're tying this on, guys, with a uni knot, too. Simple and basic. 17-pound fluoro. We ain't going any lighter than that, especially with the fish we've been hooking. Jeez. Kick-in combo of Rip Boys. Ain't no joke. See, this is what I should be throwing my crank on. They might be deeper today, man. That cold front. I might have pushed them off more. All right, guys, we didn't find really what we wanted to find on this flat. We're going to come back to it because we did pluck a, you know, three and a half pounder off of it. So there's definitely still some fish in the area. One thing I've noticed is there's a big group of loons out here. When I mean a big group, I mean at least 80 of them. They were in this corner over here, and I've been wanting to check this. So we're going to try some new areas and just kind of scan and graph and see if we can find some big fish. All right, Connor, tell the people what you've tying on. We are attempting to rig up an umbrella rig here. Yeah, umbrella rig. Put some swim base on it. If we get on a big school of five pounders, you might hook you a 25 pound bag on one cast. I would lose my mind. I think we all would. But I scanned some fish out here, guys. They're not really loaded up. But I've seen a lot of them. These fish are big, dude. I don't even know what to think about this. I haven't seen one that big on the graph yet. He's in a ball of bait right now. You notice he completely disappeared there. That bird tried to get my... You're not allowed to get my bait. That bird tried, man. Dude, this 8XD, a whole different story. I can get down on that 16, but it's nothing. So guys, we scanned a lot here. And one thing we've noticed is these fish are moving so fast. We haven't really found any just sitting there. Oh, there's some right there to the left. Look, Connor. Look. He's small. Hey, first A-rig bass. I got him hooked in two different places. He ate me, though. He swiped at me. I got him in the eye. There we go, guys. Second bass of the day on an A-rig. We haven't really seen too much. It's been... These fish are being weird. They're roaming so much that if you're not exactly on these fish and on your cast, you know, you're not catching them. These fish are moving a lot today, which is surprising because on sunny days, usually they're not moving a lot. Usually they're tucked to the bottom. Then again, we haven't really tried any bottom baits. We're still trying to hunt. I'm just really trying to find the ultimate school to get us on a crazy day. I'm not trying to have an average day. Fire them up. Once I get them fired up, I think we're going to... have to slice us. There's a big one down there, guys. It's about a 5, 6 pounder. I'm going to get my bait down there. There's two of them. There he is. Yeah, that's a big one. Yeah, a 6 pounder, dude. Oh! Gosh, dude. Oh my goodness. Let me just call him back, dude. Hang on, hang on. Woo! Dude, she's heavy, Connor. I can't even explain to you how heavy she feels. I'm going to put her in the box, guys, for a cool picture later. We'll release them back. There's our first giant. I mean, we had that good 3 1⁄2, but that was a good fish. That's a giant. Here we go, guys. We went back to what we thought we should be doing the whole time. Got all of us a solid 5, 6 pounder there. It's crazy because I saw one on the graph. I'm like, yep, it's a 5, 6 pounder. There's another one down here right here. Get ready. One of us are about to catch it. Dude, is he not on there? What was that? So, boys, what we're fishing right here is there's a big flat. It's got a nice little drop off. These fish are just sitting right on the edge of it. So what we're doing is we're throwing out there on the flat, letting it drop off on the edge, and that's when we're getting hammered. I'm trying this A-Rig out right now just to see if I can fire them up. I'm trying anything. I feel like a crankbait would be the better option to fire them up, but I'm going to let him throw that for a second. I want him to get one of these 6, 7 pounders. There's one right here. I'm just going to snipe. Geez, I got slim. How is that fish that small? It's a striper, dude. It's a striper. Nothing. It looked tiny on the graph. That bite was something else, man. That was cool. I messed up my dang rig. It honestly caught me off guard, dude, because everything's been so picky today, like nothing's going to eat. No world. I never saw him on the graph at all. Pretty little bass. There you go, guys. I mean, it's been a little slower recently. We see a ton of fish on the graph. We're skinning a lot. We're marking a lot. We're going to a bunch of different spots, but we haven't been able to catch any more fish. I will say one thing that's different is when the wind picked up. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I caught two back-to-back on an A-rig. One was a striper, though. I didn't even know those were in here, guys, until last week. Do you guys think that that's a good thing or a bad thing? Because I just don't know. A little update. We have not caught any more since those A-rig fish. We don't have too much longer, so we're going to go skin this flat again. I want to see if I can get Connor on one of these big crank fish. Dude, that's a mega. So cast right out. By the time your bait's down, you should be right in front of them. That's a really big one, Connor. There's two with them. Mom bought them. Oh. They go down after you. I think they did, right? Yeah. The sad part is, dude, we're sitting on like a 25-pound bag that we just can't get to bite. Try for that one. That was suspended. You got him. Biggin? Yep. Thank you. Thank. Really? What's your PB? Oh, my gosh. He's a monster. Get him up, buddy. Get him up to me, buddy. That's why you don't give up. That's exactly why you don't give up. Oh, my gosh. Let's go, dude. What's up, baby? Let's freaking go, dude. Hold that fish up. Hold that fish up. Let's go, baby. Let's go. That was amazing, dude. Check out his eye. See his eye? Don't put him in the box. We'll get a picture. Yeah, yeah. We've got to get one more big one there. Oh, I got another big one in there. I got sick powder in there. Look. Ooh. See if we got two. That's a freaking monster. Oh, we got him in the bite. Thank the Lord, man. I really wanted Connor to get one of those guys. Mission's complete, but I would like to get a couple more. Good job, dude. Really? There's something out here. I'll try to get back in here. I got him. Yeah. Don't worry about throwing them. I don't care how big he is. Unless he's over seven. Oh, my God. Nah. It's like a four. Oh, my God. All right, look. We had to power him up, baby. Look how fat he is. Beautiful fish, guys. Beautiful. Fatty. I was right after Connor's after we're getting these fish to sniff our bait the last three hours. Oh. Oh, he slapped me, dude. Oh, I had two giants right behind me. The adrenaline is pumping. Hi, dude. How's it going? Cast to the left of me. Yeah, your money, your money. Oh, oh, dude. They're there. Yep. Oh, Mike, you got one. You're kidding me, dude. Oh, you're kidding me, dude. We fired them up. You want me to get the net? Yeah. How big? How big? Oh, that's a mega, dude. All right, I'm getting in there, Connor. Here it goes. Keep going. I knew you were down there, brother. You got it. Oh, my gosh. Oh, dude, it's a giant. This is what it is. Oh, my God. Can you get him without the net, though? Yeah, I can get him without it. It might be like a five. Oh, dude, they're all under the boat. Oh, he ain't even that big. Look at that compared to mine. Mine's tiny. I put this one in there, too. It's up to you, man. If you think we're about to stack something crazy. Keep going out there. I think they're tugging. I think they're hugging the bottom. Yeah. That's a big one. I don't know if I need the net. Just play you, bro. Play you. Oh, guys, that's the bite we want again. You got one? What? You can't move them? Oh, my gosh. How big? Oh, my God. Oh, he's barely. Oh, my gosh. You can't move. OK. Yeah. So it's just a little four? I don't know if that, though. Yeah. Dude, Connor went from not having a fish to what? Four freaking four pluses? Those are under the boat. You should. No way, dude. He's a giant. Dude, get him past my line. I'm on your line. Oh, my God. Biggin? Oh, yeah. He took my line. He's out there, baby. He was still left, right? Yep. Yeah, I see him down there. No one should get him fired up. We're getting fired up. Let's go. They were one sitting perfect. There's actually two with it. Or they literally scattered when I hooked him. They're gone. There was like six on the graph and when I hooked him, they just are right there. He said, oh. Well, that was a big one. I just leaned into it. It felt like I leaned into a tree. That's a big one. Four pounder. Look at how they're eating it, though. See? That's how yours was, too. Yep. There's something down there. Throw it through right out. Do this. Back us up a little bit, cause there was something under the boat. I see a big one on my left. I'm gonna go for it. What could be down there? I have no idea what you like doing, though. Dude. Are you sure you weren't on a fish? No, no. Bro, call her. That was a big one. Did you see those three big ones, though? You think it was? If it was, I really didn't see anything. Big one? Keep them down. A big head to drop. How big is that? I didn't even see him in the sun so bad. I think this one's over five, right? It should be. That's my PB. That fish? Dude, that's a nine pounder. Connor, that is... Oh my God. Look at that fish, dude. That's your PB, 100%. No, when he turned, though... That is football, right? Dude, that's still a nine pounder, bro. I got one. Let me flip this up and get this off. Oh my God. That's like a four. Connor, that's a fish, bro. Are you kidding me? Connor, that's a fish, buddy. I was calling him the other day. I'm like, casual. Stomach on that thing. It's unreal. Look at it compared to your shoe. He feels every bit. Oh. Oh my God. Look at his belly, dude. Dude, that's got to be the... I think that's the fattest fish I've ever caught in my life. Connor, that is ridiculous, buddy. Let's get back in there, guys. Connor just caught his PB. Unbelievable. Last time I was out here, when I put that random guy on the boat, he caught his PB. Unreal, man. For how slow it was the first four hours today, would you have ever expected this to happen? Not a chance. But that right there is why you don't give up. You're right. Connor, I'm going to throw this eight real quick. All right, we picked up Connor's 8XD. I truly think, like, one, the 8XD just gets deeper, but two, it's just a bigger bait. Geez, this thing beams so much further. So they're letting you pick it up later? Yeah, now they'll do it, but I asked them earlier, and they said absolutely not. Oh my God. I'm glad you did that. We're supposed to leave right now to go get Connor's car. It's like getting worked on. He just called him. The circumstance has changed, so we're not picking up the car yet. Bro, like, would you want to leave 10 pounders to go get your car? No, I'm not going to lie. I'm sorry, but I was going to leave the car there and make Noah drive me all the way back to my school. And listen, I would be completely fine with it, bro. Dude, they're down there still, Connor. I just can't get them to bite. Oh, shoot, I picked up yours by accident. Dude, it feels so much better on mine for some reason. This? No, this on the kicking rod. No, it does, dude. Like, it's way more comfortable and it's easier to... Dude. Oh my gosh. Dude. Like, I have no emotion right now. I don't know how to feel about this. He has a massive gizzard in the back of his throat. Look at the gizzard. Oh my God. Look at the belly, Connor. We just dropped another dirty 30, dude. Is that your first dirty 30? Dude, this kicking on the beans was bad. Dude, I don't even know why I was throwing it on the other one. I want to go towards the right, dude. Dude, it feels big in. Oh! Oh my gosh, dude. Bro, this is the loosest. Oh, the fishing eye. Bro, hold on. Let me show this to the camera. Let's just show how fat that bit. I don't know how big that fish is, but it's fucking big. Connor's at school with me over here. You got the magic touch, Connor. Dude, the fish didn't want to bite all day until it was so crazy. This would probably go back, right? I mean, you got to throw back. I don't know what else we're going to do. God, good job, man. I can't even give you a fist bump right now until you hook another nine, you know? Seriously, dude. We were out here for probably five hours, and I really didn't even have a single bite. So Noah was like working on the bottom, working on the bottom, and I would crank down until I'm there. Then I would slow down so much that the bait was coming right back up, no fish. Now I'm keeping it constant on the bottom and they're shaking it, so. I'm learning it now, brother. All right, guys. We're out of the graph right now. My batteries are just going dead and it's not able to even scan anymore, but I still think we can get on them really good. That sucks, though. How did that big one hit it, dude? I haven't caught one that big on it. Yeah, right at the boat, man. Right there, right? It's taking me on the other side of the boat. Net him. I can get him, I can get him, I can get him. Was that like five? Yeah. He was taking me all the way on the other side. Dude, they're all eating it the same way. There's another brute, guys. Another baruti. Look at this belly, man. That's crazy. These fish are chewing on gizzards, yeah, bro. So these gizzards are, I don't know if I told you about that. They're like 12 to 15 inches. Oh, they're that big. Yeah, I've seen gizzards right in here that are like bigger than some of the bass, I guess. Like, that's why they're so fat. Dude, that sucks, man. I wish I could see under the boat to know if they're down there. Guys, this has been just an insane day. That's all I can say. I had a crazy day last week. Found some fish out here all deep like this and we're back at it again today. It was really tough at the beginning. I thought this cold front kind of had the best of us. We found the fish. We just couldn't get them to bite. And finally Connor ended up hooking one and it just turned them on. They were on fire. And that's what you got to do when you're doing this crank bait fishing. You just got to get them turned up and get them to fire up and start eating. See, now it's cold. Now we're not catching any. But it can be back to back to back to back if you get them fired up and going crazy. Also, see the live well has been on. I think that's, yeah, bigging. You got one, right? Yep. Big. You want to just handle them? Yeah. Maybe just grab them. Yeah, he's good. Yeah. Still a nice three pounder. That's fat. Good job, bro. Pretty fish. Man, what a day, dude. What a freaking day. I was just talking to the people in the back. You ever heard you're the sum of the people you hang around? Yep. Like the five people you hang around the most you're the sum of them. It must be true if the fish are all three to ten pounds and they're just there's like no one to two pounders in sight. She's gone. That's a fool. Well, this gentleman thankfully at a scale so we're going to weigh this thing real quick and see where she's at. I think it's my PB but it's got to be the moment of truth. It does look like. I can't tell if it's nine or ten. Eight, thirteen. That's a monster, though. I thought she was going to hit nine. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Let me grab one of these for you. What is that? It goes with fifteen foot or something? Yeah, I'd say thirteen to fifteen. You know, max. Right? You really got to get your rod down to get it on the bottom good. No, go for it. You can have it. Are you sure? Yeah, you can have it. Well, good luck, man. We'll be right here if you need anything. All right, I appreciate it. All right. You have a good day. Is that how it was the other day when people were like legit and really coming right up to your boat? Like without using talent? Uh-oh. Dude. That's a big one. Yeah, she ain't. Oh, yeah. That's why I had the urge to... Oh. I don't know how big she is, dude, but she's big. She was right on that deep edge. Is she big? Oh, how big is she, dude? How big is she? Oh! How big? Dude, how big is that one? I mean, look at that one, dude. How big is that? She ain't lower than six. Ain't no way. She just felt like a Mack truck, dude. Just straight up, just straight 18-wheeler. Because you threw out your next cast, and then you had one, then I threw one, had one. All right, it was like all back to back to back. You see where I just cast it? That's where I caught it. Yeah, all of the outlet there, bro. No, I'm getting slammed. I got one. You might be on me, too, probably. I might be on your line. No, I mean, I got one. Yeah. How much I have around that? Another football. I mean, that's like close to a four-pounder. Crankbait's just huge. I'm in the nose. Right in the nose. I ain't even... No, that's like a three-pounder, though. Hey, there must be out there. I feel like I'm almost on a cranking ride. It just feels like so much more relief. Like, I'm not even wearing myself out. Yeah. I have bigger crankbait. Oh, I got hit. There he is. Bro, it feels like a break. He's coming up. Look, look. This is huge. Oh, my God. Wait till you see this thing. I don't know if you're going to believe it. I don't know if you're going to believe it. He ain't even that. I mean, he's big. Don't get me wrong. That's a shot, dude. I had him in the side of the face. See that? Yeah. So he just felt twice inside. I had him by his gill plate. Sorry, buddy. I'm going to get you off. Yeah, look. That's why he felt so big. Yeah. I thought that was the biggest one all day. I thought it might have been as big as yours. Like a brick. You see where I cast it? That was it, dude. All right, guys. We're going to release these fish. I want to get them keeping healthy. Fish number two. These are tanks, guys. Straight breams. I don't believe we just dropped another mega bag. Connor, I got to let you release your big girl. You're probably going to have to nurse her for a second. She's a big one. Oh, my God. Almost a nine, eight, 13. She was close. Too close. Grab her tail, Connor. Yep. And do it like a swimming motion. I'll keep her. I'll get her kind of in the mood. Just keep doing that for a minute. She's already kicking, isn't she? Yep. Oh, my goodness, dude. I cannot believe it.
