Today we're going to be doing some pond hopping. We're going to stop off at this first pond, which is actually like a swamp. There's more of a swamp than a pond. It's got this natural water flow that pours into it from the swamp in the woods. And there's a lot of big fish in there. I've actually caught two seven pounders over the last few years in that pond. So I know they're in there. We're going to go hunt for them. And then after that, we're probably going to pond hop. Had a bunch of different places. And hopefully we can get on some big fish today. We're going to go ahead and hop right into it. I hope you guys enjoy. Let's get it. We're walking out to the first pond this morning. If you guys are wondering what I'm throwing, I got a chatter bait on my bait caster combo. I got a fluke on my spinning combo. And that's what we're rocking with. If you guys want to check out any of the KickinTheBassTVXLOOSE combos, they're only available on my website at kickinthebasstv.com. We got right hand bait casters and left hand and also the spinning combos. All these combos are seven foot medium heavy fast action. So they're very versatile. You can throw just about anything on them. But yeah guys, let's go ahead and get out to the pond and see if we can get us some fish. Alright y'all, we're getting this video started off with the old chatter don't. We're going to go ahead and hop right into it. See if we can get on some big fish today. And see what happens y'all. See what freaking happens. I'm hoping to catch some big old Shalabra donkeys today. That is the plan man. Fishing couple last couple weeks has been a little tough. I'm back in Georgia now. Florida was alright. It was alright. It wasn't none crazy. Did catch some biggings. Not any biggings biggings. Did catch some biggings. But yeah, we're going to see if we can get some in one of these old Georgia ponds right here. This is that one that gets naturally fed by one of these swamps. And there's some big ones in here guys. I've caught two seven pounders here in the past. So let's see if we can get on a big one today. Ooh, had a boil on me right there. That's why I need that fluke to follow that up right there. Nice. Not a biggin, but a nice one. Freaking slam that Chatterby guys. These fish are biting today boys. Not a biggin, but not a bad one. Look at the lipstick on that bass right there. Look at that. Pretty fish right there. Beautiful colors in this tannic water right here. Well there we go. We just started guys. Usually this place is not easy to catch them. This pond in particular. Sometimes come out here. I don't get one fish. They come out here and I'll get three or four. There's only been one other time I've got over five out here. So they catch one that quick. That's a good little sign man. I had a boil before that. I don't know if that's the same fish or not, but we're going to keep on going. That was a good bite man. It seems like these fish are going to be eating. That was a good looking boil right there. You just went under my bait. Going on here chief. Going on here fishes. Fishies. Oh baby. Guys look at this stuff on top of the water. And I'll tell you I got this fluke on now. I can almost reel that thing at the top and see if I can get one to blow up on like a top water man. Just imagine. Freaking slouched daddy destroys it on top. I don't know if it's, the water tends to warm enough and then they do that. But I can clearly see one doing it. I have one hit behind me guys. He doesn't really know where it's at. I hope he can locate it. I'm going to throw it back in there. Oh gosh. Dude he's right under it. Oh my gosh. Oh. Wait. I'll just let it sink. Did he grab it? Two different hits. The second one kind of had a big boil. Alright. We're going to get this on camera guys. Let's get it. He's got to hit it again right? Brog. That would be ideal. He's right under me. Please look at that boil guys. I want to say he's under me right now. Hopefully he's going to fall it out to the edge. See if that fish was smart he would literally go to the edge of the grass right? I'm going to drop it in that little hole that he made. If I have another one bull on me guys I might. Oh my gosh. Holy crap guys. That was a freaking tank. That was a freaking tank. Oh my god. Please, please. Oh yes. He's going to eat it. He just boiled so hard. How did he not eat it guys? He just boiled on it. How did he not eat that? Even the second time I threw it in he was there. He might have boiled away but Oh my gosh. What in the world man? I can't believe that that fish didn't eat it. We're going to keep trying this because that was crazy man. That was crazy. That was a freaking tank. I can't believe he just totally missed it and didn't eat it that second time. I want to see one go airborne on it. I know they'll hit it like a top order now. I had them guys. I freaking had them. They're just not getting a good eat on it. I think I stuck that one. I throw back in there. I don't know. I might have hooked him. There's a lot of fish under here though. So I think we could do this for a second. Boil. Big boil under me. He might be licking right up at my blade. Yep. Yep. Eat it. Oh my god. He's knocked it out of the water guys. These fish don't know what to do. Oh. Oh my god. He's right under me. That might be a mud fish. This is exciting. This is so exciting right here. This is the type of fish I want to be doing. What? How do you... Look at that. Guys that was so freaking cool. Look at that. That's a swamp donkey of a bastard. They're not a big one but you could tell he's been living in that stuff right there. Oh man. Yes. It took us a minute to give us one guys. But we did. There's a lot more fish under this. We won't try them but you can tell how dark that bass was being up in that grass and in this tannic water. Wow. Thank you buddy. Gosh. It took us a second man but we finally got one. That is so cool. Look at that freaking bait. There's so much bait around that tree right there. So much bait. Gotta be a bass on the edge of that tree right? Gotta get the spinning combo down. I haven't been spinning combo in a second. Freaking beans. Let's sink on the edge of that tree. I'm not even gonna move it. Sometimes it's a great way of getting these fish to eat. Like throwing it out there. Kinda letting it sit for a second. Flutter down. And then starting to retrieve it. Especially when you're in the strike zone. Like on the edge of that tree. Should be a fish sitting there. Realistically. Little boy right there. Oh he's got me. Not big by any means. We're gonna get him back in the water. Thank you buddy. Chunky guy. This was not big at all. But let me tell you right when I caught him. I wish I wouldn't have caught him. Cause there's a huge boil right here. I think there's a lot of fish in this corner. Hope I didn't spook him. That was a good freaking boil. That was a load in this corner. That was a freaking boil. I'm over here talking about boils. That's what I just had on me. There's a lot of fish right here. Not a cast. Another small one. Okay we're getting somewhere guys. I'm not big. But we're catching them. And that's what matters. We're actually really fat for the size of them. I know there's some bigger ones in here though. I've actually caught a few really good fish in here. I mean they're fat man. They're just a little tiny pointies. Just get a nice little release on him. That is not the size that we're looking for. But we gotta start somewhere like I said. Gotta always start somewhere. I cannot complain. I mean the fishing has been tough this last month. So to know that we haven't been fishing that long. I've already caught a few. That's a good little sign. Should catch another one over there. They're loaded. I just hope they're not all that big. That corner in this lay down. I think it's gonna be loaded. That corner should have a big one. I'm just upset about that fish. It's not small like that. That one actually had some shoulders on him. From the boil like that. That's a better one. Oh my gosh. Yeah they're loaded on that tree. He's a little better than those last ones. But not much. He's got a little better belly on him. The fish felt so big for some reason. When I first hooked him. We just run him with it. It's just so small. I don't understand. I'm just smoking him. That fish was really nice and hooked. I mean I'm not complaining. We're gonna go find some bigger fish if they keep biting like this size. But we'll go somewhere else. But heck I'm not really complaining man. These fish are freaking stacked over there. Another not big but dude. It's fun catching them. Look at this fish running at me. He's putting up a good fight. He ain't even big. Oh my gosh. Maybe we can do it. We're still gonna toss around this fluke. There should be some fish stacked right in the middle here in this ditch. Me and Adam fished out here recently. And we actually had some really good bites. He ended up losing like a four pounder. Right here. Like stands in this exact spot. So maybe we'll get a few of those big ones to fire up right here. This fluke is actually a great bait to be thrown in here right now too. I don't know if you guys see there's a lot of slop. There's pretty shallow water right here. And this fluke is one of those baits that you can work fast. You can work slow. You can let it just sit. You can do just about anything with it. I'm just gonna put on a standard white one right here. The main reason is because that one's a little tore up. Another reason it was cloudy out but now the sun's out. I like throwing the disco color in the sun and I like throwing this color. You can throw this color in the sun or when it's cloudy out. But the sun did just peek through the clouds. So everything I'm saying doesn't really make sense. But we're gonna try to this one. See if we can do this. Wind is picking up boys. Alright, let's see if we can get one to eat this. I know they're out there. Honestly it looks like there's freaking beds out there in the middle. Alright, not a big one. He's fighting good though. Super clear water here. He's definitely the biggest one yet. Still not big but he... Yeah, he's a little bigger than those other ones. That was a cool bite though. So we got like these boulders out here guys. It's a bunch of like rocks. I'm throwing that fluke and I'm popping it about three times over and this fish will come out of those rocks. You can't really see them even though this water is really clear. But I know they're down in those rocks. They kind of get in those little tiny crevices. So we're gonna keep on casting across these. We might get lucky and get a big one. I will say today too this wind is definitely helping out with these bites. It's not too much wind. It's bright for fish. I love for filming too. And it's too windy. I hate it because with the film it's so dang loud. But you do need a little bit of wind to really get on a good bite sometimes. Oh my gosh. See that one came up like a top already. See this fish are active today man. It feels good to see some good weather pull up in these fish. I actually eat like that. Yep. That was a good one. That was a good boil too. I don't understand what's going on here. I should get eating right here. That was a good little boil. He was right so Ooh. That's a better one. Yep. Not a big one but that's a better one. Let's go. He's skinny for what he is. The long fish though. I watched him come up and eat that. Luke in his mouth. We still haven't found any of these big ones guys but I'm just enjoying it man. Catching them. So kind of what we have here. Big sand bar out there. You got a drop off that's about a 20 foot stretch before it comes back up. So pretty much what you have is a shallow flat then it drops off and comes back up on a shallow flat. This fish are hanging out right where that drop off is. Right when I started coming up with the full shallow flat in front of me that's when that fish bit it. So what that tells me those fish are hanging right off on that dip. I also think there's some fish hanging on that flat because there's a lot of boulders and stuff that they could be hanging in. Ooh. That's a better one. Oh yeah best fish today. Is it? He's fighting the best. I'll give him that. He ate it good too. These fish are loaded guys. Look how he ate that. He ate it today. It's been a minute since I've seen the fish biting this good guys. There's a good little sign here. I'm enjoying it. Look at that. That's a beautiful bass. Pretty markings on him. Look at that. I mean it's like almost every cast guys. We didn't have a bite on that other end and now we came down here I had a feeling that these fish might be in this corner and started catching them. I got a few. Just some small ones. Thank you. You guys have a good one. Oh my God. That fish was running. That's the best one yet guys. Oh no. That fish was running dude. This is where they're at guys. I could like keep making casts here. I know there's some better ones here man. Look at those teeth marks on that dang food. It's about the time for another one. So I think the trick is to throw it out there. Let it sit for a second obviously. You know I thought about that the first time. And then give it about two or three pops. Pop, pop, pop. And then let it pause. Watch. I'm going to do it. I threw it out there. I'm going to let it sit for a second. Let it simmer down. Boom, boom, boom, boom. All right. Now I'm going to give it a pause. Just let that bait flutter. Sometimes you'll pick up on it and they'll have it. A couple more twitches. He just ate it. Look at that. Literally right there guys. We just talking about it. That's exactly how they want it. This is a tiny guy. That's how they want it. So if you guys are having a rough time catching some fish right now. Especially if you guys are fishing some ponds. And it's got a bunch of like nasty stuff in it. Like this pond. Switch yourself up to a fluke. And try out what I'm talking about. So I'm going to do it one more time. There's a lot of fish loaded in this area. I'm going to throw it out there. Let it sit. It's really shallow so I won't let it sit too long. Pop that thing three times. Give it that sporadic movement. Let it sit again. Boom, boom, boom. I'll let it sit. Boom, boom, boom, boom. He's on it. Look at that. Look at that boys. They're sitting right there. In that drop off. And this is the difference between catching 10 fish and catching 30. Is figuring out what those fish want. And once you figure out what those fish want. You kind of hunker down. And you start catching them. If you guys have been watching some of the recent episodes. I had a video over a chatter and I figured out how they wanted it. And yeah, we're fishing a pond. But at the end of the day, a lot of these ponds, they play out like a lake would. Just this one right here. It's got these two little flats. And it's got this drop off. So these fish are going to act similar. You just got to figure out how to catch them. And you guys saw this retrieve right here. We're getting bites every cast now. We weren't getting bites a second ago. Now that I've figured this out. Boom, boom, boom. Come on, fishy. I know you're out there. Dang it. It's crazy you figure them out that good. I mean, they're not big. They're tiny, tiny. But it is kind of cool seeing how you can change your retrieve and figure out where you're putting that bait. And just seeing bite. That's the coolest thing. All right, this next pop, right when I'm going to get bit. It's kind of crazy. Oh my gosh. I don't even know how many are down there guys. It's not like we're sitting deep at all either. These fish aren't deep. They're pretty big and shallow. But they can't resist this thing. I think what's happening is I'm popping that thing. They kind of get hunkered in on it. And then I stop it. And so they're just kind of nose down on it. They're just looking at the bait. It's pretty crazy. Oh, you got it. You got it. Look at that black tail on that bass. It's pretty crazy. Well guys, I'm going to have to close out today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. We didn't catch any big ones, matter of fact. We did catch a lot of small ones today. But I still had a lot of fun. And we got on a killer bite. And then that top water bite at the beginning of the video was just so much fun. Like, oh my gosh, that was just so cool. If you guys enjoyed it, please hit the like button. Hit the subscribe button if you guys haven't already.
