 Today, we're having a 1V1V1 Walmart Budget Fishing Challenge, which includes a rod, reel, and bait. One person is gonna get $25, another person is gonna get $100, and the last person is going to get $250. Whoever catches the biggest fish wins. Now, let's go into Walmart to pick out the gear and then head to the pond and catch some fish. $25 goes to drum roll please. Fletcher the fish. Oh, dang it. We just filled a challenge with him and I had to do the $25, so this works perfect. All right. There we go. The $100 goes to drum roll please. Let's go and call it. All right, we'll take it. We'll take it. Of course, no, it gets. $250, baby, yo! What you think? Huh? What you think? You got the $25, you're ballin' on a budget today. Not no one, no more. All right, guys. We're gonna get into the store. I got $250 to spend. We might just buy the whole shop, man. Fletcher gets $25, which is gonna be interesting. I'm curious to see if you can actually get a rod and baits for $25. I think we can do it at Walmart for sure. We're not gonna get the greatest tackle in the world, but I'm gonna have something. You can probably do it. Let's just pray that they have a good section because some Walmart's, the fishing section just sucks. Or just clear it out. Yeah, or just clear it out. So we're gonna figure it out and then calling you, you got the $100. The challenge today, which we'll talk about it here later on in the video, but the challenge today when we get on the water is the biggest fish. So whoever catches the biggest fish today wins the challenge. So with the whole $250 thing, we can't go through whoever catches a fish on every bait because obviously comparing 250 to 25, you would probably win. You've got two baits versus like 20. So yeah, let's go ahead and get inside, see what they have, stack up on the cash, baby. Oh, what you got there? It's not wheelchair, dude. You're gonna have to push me around all day in this if I finally get $25. My man's really on a budget. All right, just made it into the Walmart. We haven't been in this Walmart, I'd say and probably was like a year. So we just got to figure out if they're gonna have the tackle that we need, if I know anything about the Walmart's last couple of years, the section has been horrible. But I guess we're gonna see. And if I have to spend $250 on this puppy, then maybe I just will. All right, oh man. What do we have for options here? There's a decent amount. It's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. And there's a ton of poles if you're paying over there, Connor. You're like, I mean, there's a good bit of stuff. There's a good bit of options. So this is what I think we're gonna do, Fletcher. Since you're at $25, we're gonna let you go first and then we're gonna go to Connor. You're at $100 and then I'm gonna go to $250. 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. Okay, all right. So whatever you wanna pick, this is all you, $25 budget. Whatever you want, anything. Okay, we got some options. You can definitely go with a rod though. Yeah. It's a real combo. It's paying off. Blue, blue. This is $10. Ooh. Oh, that's so timpty, dude. 10 bucks for that? 10 bucks? That's a punty noodle. I don't know, it's kind of a noodle, man. I don't know. I think I might need something with a little bit more backbone than that. I was looking the push buttons and you know, you can't go wrong with a classic Zepka. This rod actually looks like it has some backbone to it which is nice and it comes with some tackle as well. So we got some bobbers. We got some grubs and things like that. So I actually have a little bit of tackle to work with. Yeah, this one. You're gonna do the push button. I'm going for the push button, dude. Okay. I'm going for the push button. I'll take it. So what else are you gonna get? So that leaves you at, you're at what? $19? $19 bucks. Okay. So now I got like $6 to spend. And you don't have to count a hook. So you can get a pack of baits. Pack of baits. So I guess you get that combo in a pack of baits, right? Yeah, let's see, let's see. The weather's like kind of iffy right now. I feel like the bites could be a little bit slow so I'm thinking I'm gonna need to like crawl something on the bottoms. Everything's like three, like 50 to like four bucks. If I got two, I technically would be like 50 cents over. You're giving me a 50 cents grace? I love your 50 cent break. I'm giving the break. I'll give you a 50 cent break. Not a dollar break, I'll give you a 50 cent break. 50 cent break? Okay. I think I can work with that. We're gonna go with this crawl, this little small crawl, and we're gonna go with the lizard. So this is what I got guys. We got the Zepco combo and we got the little crawl and the lizard. I like it dude. I think it's gonna put up for your challenge. All right Connor. 100 bucks. 100 bucks? Whatever you want. Let's see what we can do. Daddy knows it's gonna pay for it. Whatever you want, 100 bucks. We've been spending some money on Walmart today, $500. So we could do like a rod and a reel separate. But they have the reels. Let's see if they have reels. Hmm, all right. There you go, okay. I'm doing one of these. I'm doing that one or that one. We gotta see the rods. But if I can find like a $25 to $40 rod, we might go with this one. If the rods are a little more expensive, we're gonna go with that one. Let's see. Ooh, we can work with that. This one had a $30 sticker on it, so that's good. 30 bucks. We had room to work with. 30 bucks. That's not bad. Feel the tip on that one. This is pretty good. I like it. Yeah, that's kind of slick for 30 bucks. That's a good option. So you really could go with the $50 reel. We'll go with the $50 reel. We'll give it a try. So we have to have somebody open this, but we're gonna go with that Shimano reel and we gotta get some bait show. We're gonna do one of these. That's three. What do you think about these guys here? We're gonna do both of these. So that's six. You didn't do any other baits, did you? Just soft plastics? Yeah, I just got soft plastics. Okay. So the thing today is we're going for big fish. We're going for big fish. Yeah, so chatter down, bro. So this might be, that would be my option. We're gonna do this color and we're gonna rock some of these trailers. Dude, that one looks really good. That looks really good. Look at that color. That is the money. We're getting a big one on those today. All right, so I'm getting this rod. The reel's still in the case. We gotta get that out. I did these two colors, which I think will be the money. You might throw this wacky rig and then we got the chatter donk here. Going for the big guy. We'll see what we can do. Now what you all have been waiting for, $250. Gonna start now. Do you think I can spend that much? I think I can. I think you can. It's gonna be a challenge, honestly. Okay, let's go ahead and do it. I know if I had $250, I'd make sure I spent every last dime of it. It's your money. Yeah. Shoot, dude. I mean, I can get like the top of the line. These are $50. So this is a Luz Xfinity XJ. I can literally come out with a whole five set of rods. Right now. No one's ready to line the deck of his boat. I literally buy no base today. It's just all rods. Okay. This puppy, how much did you say? This is $30 bucks, because that's just steel. So we're gonna go with this. Oh! What about the ping pong table for $80, bro? Yeah, I think that's essential to the win today. Let's get serious here. So what are my baitcaster options? Okay, we have a Shakespeare up here, $43. Do you see that? That's not even putting a damper in my money. That's $70. How many combos am I gonna buy today, bro? I mean, I think at least two. I'm not buying a boat. So I think we're gonna do a Shakespeare. So that's $43 plus 30. That's only 75 bucks. We're gonna keep the rod right here at the moment. Do you think I should get more than one combo? I feel like you have to. I mean, 250 bucks. I mean, might as well take advantage of your budget. That's what I'm saying. So since we got a baitcaster, let's try to get a spinning combo. What about this one, dude? Dude. Yeah, I think that's the thickest rod I've ever seen. Guys, so last year we did some surf fishing. If you wanna see the same challenge but with surf fishing, dude, that would be a banger. Now it'd not be great. Hit the like button. Load this thing up to 10K likes we'll do it for you. I'm definitely not using this. That's why I'm not even talking about it now. We got a couple more options over here. Dude, oh, this is what I was looking for. This is an Xfinity inch short. Very high quality reel for the price. This is a fire combo, especially for 70 bucks. It's like a hundred dollars to spare in baits. Yep. Holy cow, we got a shopping spree, boys. We got a spinning rod and a baitcaster. This one's slick. I've used it before, so I know it's good. We're just gonna set that right there until we gotta get the reels out. I'm just gonna go crazy. Can I do that? Yes. Absolutely insane. Listen, so flukes, killer bait, anytime of the year. So we're gonna go with some flukes. I know Connor already did it, but I'm gonna do it too. Striking, sankos, pretty clean and basic. You gotta go with them. You guys can pick whatever you want to. If you guys have suggestions, let me know. No one shouldn't be allowed to get the chatter dog today. Dude, oh, no, no, no. Then he's gonna be catching the big one. Oh, no, no, no. That one's off limits. I gotta get the chatter dog. Oh, snap. Okay, give me all of them. We're gonna have white chartreuse with a gold blade. We're gonna get a white, we're gonna get a black and blue. We're actually gonna go with another white. I'm just ballin' over here, bro. I'm ballin', straight ballin'. Just think about those, bro. Some like seven and a half inch, like curly tail worms. Those are in June bug. They look pretty good, lookin' pretty solid. You can't go wrong with June bug. Another bait I really want is a lifeless crank bait. Do they have a red eye shad? That would be money. I feel like they gotta have a red eye shad. That doesn't look bad. He's thinkin' about the conditions, man. We got a cold front. Let's you don't help him out. Bro, how did I not see him, bro? I saw I had not seen him, bro. Which color do you guys think? I don't know what place we're fishing yet. We haven't really discussed that. But to be fair, I think I'm gonna go with the natural. The natural? Yeah, that beautiful and natty color. Bro, they got- Do you have two taps? Yeah, look, look, look. You want a little shimmer or you want a little- I want a little shimmy shimmy. We're gonna get one of them, too. Okay, we probably should have got a cart for this. I think I do want some hooks. Y'all can have some of mine, you know. I understand, you guys. Shared of the level of- We're ballin' on a budget, but your boy, you know, he's got the dough right now. Four extra wide gap hooks. This thing's broke, because you know I'd be packin' it, you know what I mean? Connor, look at this, dude. Oh! Look at that. Got in my holster, dude. This is what we're goin' with for the baits. I really don't think there's anything else I can- I can opt to buy. One thing I could buy, but it just doesn't make sense right now is top water. But I mean it's cold as heck outside. Actually, no, go get some top water, Lures, man. I think you should start top water all day. I cannot find these poppin' pickles anywhere, and they have them here. Dude, this is a great weather for poppin' pickles. Actually, my personal preference, the best time to throw a frog is like, actually, when the lake's iced over. I don't know if you've tried it, but it just glides perfectly. Well, dude, the bass loved the crash through the ice, man. Dude, they love it, man. Our last step, we gotta pick up my reel, and your reel. We got in the counter, so we got the Shakespeare, Connor got these. You got a Shimano. Spinning rod, and then I got all the rods. Fletcher's got, show them what you got. We got the Zepco, baby. That's all you need. I like it, honestly. That's all you need, classic. We got all the baits that we could pick. So let's go ahead and check out, hopefully not hurt the wallet too much, and then go catch some fish. Here we go. Fastest bagger in the East. Okay, we're good. Yeah, as you guys can tell right there, $358. Not too shabby. All right. All right, let's go load her up. All right, boys. We're gonna catch y'all at Fletcher's place, and we're gonna be catching these big bass today. Let's get it. All right, guys, next day, 35 degrees. Heavy winds. We're about to go catch some fish now. Yesterday, we went to Walmart, picked up all the tackle, and we decided to come out today. We did not realize how cold it is. It's freezing. It is so cold today, guys. So we're gonna try our best to catch some fish. The place we picked out to come fish is kinda hidden, so the wind's not as bad over where we're at. But yeah, we're gonna hop in the water and see what we can do. Fletcher's got his old combo right there. He's gonna give y'all- We got the Zepco, and we got our two bags of soft plastics in the boat. You know, basically, all we can really focus on now right now are my diamond hard nipples, because it's so cold. But we're about to hop in the boat and get started with this, so let's go ahead and move on down here. Good luck, Fletcher. Peace out. He's gonna be on that boat by himself. Me and Connor are gonna be on this boat. So we're about to back this puppy in, get on the water, see if we can catch some. Y'all boys ready? Y'all ready? I'm ready, boy. All right, guys, we get the boats in. We are ready. Let's get it. All right? Dude, this water is crazy cool. Yeah, it is freaking insanely clear. Look at that, guys. You can literally see everything on the bottom. Well, guys, we're gonna go ahead and get started. It is chilly, this big cold front blew in yesterday. We couldn't even have time to film mine. You know, it was just so nasty and tough, so. I don't know, I have high hopes for today, though. I think we're gonna catch them pretty good, hopefully we'll get some big ones. See who's crowned the champion of the ultimate budget Walmart challenge. I got my two rods right here. Pretty slick, man. I'm excited to use them today. So we've got the Luz Xfinity Ensure, and then we have a Laser HS Speed Stick. This is actually by Luz as well, and then we have the Shake Spear Reel that we got. So yeah, this is the combos that I'm gonna be working with. We're gonna go ahead and rig up some baits on here. I think I'm gonna start off with the bait caster. I'm actually not gonna rig them up both at the same time, because I really don't know what the fish are gonna be biting. You guys, I think we're gonna go out with this red eye shad. This is a nice little natural color. It's honestly gonna be money for this clear water. And I'll tell you, this time of year, when it gets cold here in the wintertime, these fish tend to position out deeper and they kind of stack up. So I think this might be a good bait to fish throughout the ditches, and we might be able to get some fired up. I don't know, I could be wrong. I could be just speaking nonsense right now, but I think we might be able to find some fish stacked up in the middle. So we can try this. All right, guys, here's the setup. You get to lose speed stick with this reel on there. We're gonna go ahead and try a wacky rig. Two we can do with it. It's time to dive into this, guys. I'm gonna crack this thing open. The odds are really stacked against me here. I got very limited stuff to work with here. We have terrible conditions. Tim's dropped like 30 degrees in the last like 48 hours. So I can only expect that these fish are gonna be a little finicky. Only time will tell. Let's put together this little combo here and see what we're working with. Pop this sucker in, spin this down, and we should be ready to rock and roll there. That is what I'm talking about, guys. We're gonna go over to our soft plastic section, throw on a little Texas rig. Let's pop into the Super Salt Plus Ultra Vive Speed Crawl Green Pumpkin. That is a mouthful for a name there. Let's get this thing popped right on here. See if these fish are all about it. All right, boys, two hours on the clock. Let's get it. Here we go, guys. Got a red eye shed. Let's give our first cast on the Shakespeare combo here. Oh, okay. That wasn't bad, honestly. That really wasn't bad. I like that. This bait might be a little too much for today. This is a great color for clear water. It's just with how freaking cold it got last night. I mean, it literally dropped 30 degrees in a day and a half. Guys, we are gonna cut this off. We're gonna rig up a Texas rig. I think we gotta slow down here. There we go. We got a little Texas rig right here. We're gonna start throwing this on there. Some of these lay down, so hopefully we'll get on them pretty good. It's kind of hard to flip this. Now, let's go. Let's go. Striking first, boys. No! I lost them. That was a big one, dude. That was huge, it right there. How big was that? That was like a three pounder. Dude, that was a dang good one. All right, guys, we're on to the right thing. We got something going for us here. We're just lacking a little back bend on our $20 combo. That just means we're gonna have to set the hook harder. It was just kind of hanging out right on the edge of these bushes. Maybe that's a ticket. Just gonna kind of fish those. Oh, I think we got it. We got another one. Yes! Yeah! We got a little juicy spot right here. And we're on the board. Striking first with the $20 combo and the $25 budget. Now that $250 ain't gonna do you no good the day I can already tell you. We're gonna put this one on the scale just to get something as an official weight. 1.45. 1.45, guys. We are looking good. Like in what we're seeing, I wish we could have got that first fish. That fish was definitely better, but we'll take that one. There's usually a fish back there. I could not. Dude, first cast. First cast on the worm, baby. Let's go, dude. He ain't big. I ain't even gonna weigh him, but literally first cast on the worm. If that doesn't tell us something, I don't know what it does. No way, bro. Oh, he's got a good one, dude. No way, he's a nice one. Oh my gosh. What's your unit? I'm waiting against you so I can't help you. They just doubled up over there. That one looked good. Oh, Connor's got a nice one. Shoot, shoot, shoot. All right, we got a... Triple up. Let's go. Hey, 35 degrees, I don't care. We're smoking them. This one is tiny, so we're gonna just pop her right back in the water. But I'm glad they're biting. What'd you say? How much did yours weigh? 1.45. You might have, either. All right, I'm gonna grab the scale for me. Well, I think we're close. Oh my gosh, dude. I'm getting frickin' hammering right there. I'm getting loaded, dude. I wanna lose my mind. Look at this, he's messing up my wire. Guys, I did not expect it for the fish. We haven't been out here long. We just switched it up to a bottom bait and he starts... Connor, Connor, Connor, Connor, look. Connor, look. Connor, look. Is he right there? Yeah. That was a nice one right below. Dude, I got a whole school of them on me. Dude, he's right there. Dude, I got a whole school of Fletcher. Fletcher, I'm gonna side fish them, dude. Throw right there, Fletcher, throw right there. Hey, wait, I'm helping Noah. I'm not supposed to be helping him out. What am I doing? All right, you can throw that one back. Fletcher, drop right there. Look with your eyes, bro. You see him swimming around. What else am I supposed to look with, my butt? Let's see where we're at here. Oh, Fletcher, I got you. What you got? I'm at two pounds, two pounds. Two pounds even. Okay, stay down, stay down, stay down. Oh, man. Come on in here, boy. Come on in here, boy. This one's not gonna cut it. I'm gonna put her back. We got a new leader. I think Noah's in last place, which is good. I have yet to weigh a fish. Oh my goodness. There we go, look at the desert. Why are they biting so well, boys? Aren't you glad we came out now? I guess, yeah. Hey, this is keeping me a little warm. You know what I mean? I know. I ain't got a lot of my hands are cold, but it's like, at least, bro, it's a lot better than not getting bites. You know what I mean? I'm being frustrated. Watch this, Fletcher. I'm on. I can't see him right now. Gosh. God, this one is so hard to set the hook on. Bro, what is going on, dude? Why is there that many up there? Dude, it's way clearer than usual, Fletcher. Yeah. Maybe that's why they were biting so good. Hey, you got your gut feeling to come here? This will be good in this corner, kind of. Yeah. There we go. Come on, Twinkies. I got to have a fish away. Connor's over here with a two pound lanker. I'm pulling up freaking Twinkies. Oh my God. Why is this an occurring theme today? I swear, I never dropped bass like that. Well, I have caught probably four fish guys, but I just have not had size yet. But we're weaving through them. We're going to catch a big one. I feel it. Look how cold it is. I'll be fine, just catching some fish. Yeah, this one. Uh-oh, that's a good one. Oh, I don't know. She's skinny. She's long as heck, but she's skinny. Dude, you might be close, actually. Dude, yeah, I don't know. I might need to try that one. Oh, that's you. Look, that's a pretty good one, dude. She's probably one and a half, if that. Yeah. Okay, yeah, one and a half. One and a half. 1.54. 1.54? Yeah. Butcher's in last place. If you ain't first, you last. Here, good bye. Oh, that's a nice one. Oh. Surprising. Oh, here we go. Oh, that's a good one, dude. That's a good one. Oh, I don't know. Why did he look so big, didn't he? Shit. It was his mouth open. Connor, did that all look like a tree? It was the sun. When the sun hit it, it looked like a tree. Why did it look so big right there? Come on, fishy, fishy, fishy, big, fishy. Oh, that's a decent one. Bigger than my last. Dude, they're so hyper, too, bro. Okay, I might have something going on with this worm, dude. I don't know. That was what, three cast, three fish? This might be bigger than my last, but I don't even want to weigh it, because it's not too. That's about a one and a half, probably. They'll take his body. Oh, we were smoking them, but we're just having to weave through a lot of small ones. I think we're going to find some big ones here. We just got to keep weaving through those guys. It's nice. It's making a very interesting noise right now. Dude, I am getting, I just, I can't not throw a cast without getting a bite. Ah, man, you're balling on a budget. We're getting dialed in here, guys. I'm feeling pretty confident, I'm feeling pretty good with this. Oh, there's one. There's one. Ew, boy! Almost fell out of the boat. Almost fell out of the boat. We're good. We're good. Holy, cuddly. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yo, boy. I don't think she's two. Yeah, I don't know. She might be better than Noah, but I'm not going to weigh her unless she's, you know, I really feel like a two pounder. Thanks for the munch there, baby. So guys, we've caught a lot of fish. That worm is working so well. I'm not going to retire it for the whole day, but I do want to put on this chatter dog. Just because if we're going to try to win this tournament or win this challenge, we have to go for bigger fish. With that being said, this has to be my big fish confidence bait. I don't know if this is a little too much for them today, but with how they were just biting that worm and how actively seemed, this could be a killer bait to catch a couple of good ones. You can kind of weave through this small bass and get right to the big ones. That's what I'm thinking. So we're going to tie this puppy on and see what we can do. And I'm actually going to do something very interesting. And Fletcher and Connor are going to think I'm crazy for it, but I think there's something to it. I'm actually going to throw this chatter bait without a trailer. I'm literally just going to throw it like that. No trailer. No trailer. And watch, I'm on a freaking crushing. Y'all about to see. I want you to want to bet on creaming on this puppy. Oh, no way. I think there's one. Yeah, he's behind it. Maybe. Oh, Connor, that was a good one. Oh, here he goes. Here he goes. Here he goes. Is he behind it? No, he's going to the right. He's interested though. Oh, dude, he's a good one. He's 100% the biggest one. Oh, there's a smaller one behind me. Where'd the big one go? Oh my God, Connor, look at that one. That's like a five pounder. I just had the wind and fish hit me on my first gas. So boys, you know, we ended up getting two combos. So I'm going to use this one and try it out. This is the lose inshore. I've actually used this one before. So I noticed a really great combo. This is actually what we're going to put our slow movement bait on. So I'm going to actually rig up this Texas rig that I had on here. Put our little bullet weight on. We're actually going to go with the same curly tail worm just because this worm is catching them guys. That thing is killing it. If you guys are wondering what knot I'm tying, it's just a standard uni knot. Very simple, strong knot. Cut our tag in. I'm going to get one of these worms and I'll show you all how I'm rigging it up. I know you all already know, but we're just going through the head of the bait here all the way until right where it bends. Then we break it through, slide this all the way up onto the front of the hook. Then we're going to lay this here in weedless hook. Boom, boom. Here goes nothing guys. This is our spinning combo. Make sure it drags set. That's important. All right, first cast. Let's see what we got. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful. No, he came off. Come on. Oh, he's not. No, dude. I'm struggling with these hook sets. What am I doing? Yeah, I think I'm going to enjoy this combo a lot. You got one? I got one too, dude. Wait, that might be better. Oh, that's a good one. Oh my God. Come on. He's long, dude. He is long. All right, guys, there's one more. A little too skinny, so we're not going to be able to get that one on the board, but we're putting that. Oh, there's a carp, dude. Look at them all. Look at them all. Oh my. There's a huge carp. See that carp right there, guys? Look at him swimming. So to give you all a little update. Oh, Connor's got one. Nice. I was about to say, I had a bite in a minute, and we're traveling to the other side of the lake, but Connor's just got a minute left. I'm going to get that hook in there. Get that hook in there. It's a small one. Magnetic. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Yeah, buddy. You already know. Still looking for that quality. Small, small. Not what we want, man. That's probably the smallest one so far. You got to do better than that. Oh, dude, that fish was flying with it. Took me right to the right in that tree and came off. Oh, that was another good one. Dude, that one had weighed onto it, dude. I might be messing up. There's a smaller one. Just follow me in. I might be messing up. Watch, you're going to eat this, Connor, look. That's a big one. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. What? Dude, that? Dude, that fish is huge. Oh, that's the small one ate me. Dude, I think we're on some big ones here, Connor. Did you see the other one that pulled up? That one would have been through the right corner. I don't know, dude. I'm pretty sure I had a big one on like two times. And then I saw a big shadow underneath my bait right there, but here we go, boys. If I miss another one, it's definitely because of spinning around. I might need to move this over to the bait caster. Dude, I'm missing them every time. I got to do it. I can't afford that. We got to put this Texas rig on the bait caster guys because having that on that spinning rod, I miss like three good bites, and I can't afford to miss good bites if we're going to win this challenge today. I got to cut this off, put it on the bait caster, my hookup ratio would be a lot better. With that spinning combo, I feel like it's good with finesse baits, but as far as the Texas rig, it might be better on a bait caster. You got to give a little more oomph to a Texas rig to get that hook penetrated. Here goes nothing. I'm going to throw back in there, see if we can get one. You hear that? That was him. Dude, that was a nuke. That was a nuke. Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? That was it. It's this rod. I'm telling you it's the Texas rig on a spinning rod. I'm telling you. I literally, we just did the same thing next to each other. We missed how many fish, like three or four on it. I mean, that has nothing to like bad talk of spinning rod. It's just when you're throwing the Texas rig, you're more off throwing on a bait caster. That's how it is, man. You could do a different rig, bro. You probably hook up your, your hook up ratio would be a lot better. Dude, that was slick. I don't know, dude. Oh, he's skinny, dude. That's the problem. These fish had the length. Some of these bass are just skinny. Like he, he has the body of a two pounder. He's just skinny. Look at this guy. He's got all these little speckles on him. We've seen something like that before. You see that? Oh yeah. All over him. Let's see what we got here, boys. One, four. That's what we want. I feel like I need to work on my hook set here, like adapt my strategy a little bit. Like maybe like put my hand up on the rod a little bit to get a little bit more backbone behind it. Ah, shucks, man. You know what? I'm just going to expose the hook. I think that's going to be my best strat here, just to leave that hook exposed. Dude, that's him. That's him. Look at him running. Dude, yeah. Dude, that might be him. That might be him. I don't know, it's close, dude. That's him. I had him in the head. I don't know, it's close. See what we got here, Forest Boys. We might have the leading fish. We might not. See what we got? Oh my gosh. No. 175. Yep. One and three quarters. Not quite the two pounder we need. But a pretty bass. Nice same. I can honestly get behind Connor too. But I just don't want you to win. Because if Fletcher wins with the Zebco, I'd feel devastated. I just throw that in the tree. Right here. Do you see him? Do you see him right there? Guys, we got a whole school of bass right on here. I don't know where they went. Right here. Right here. Watch this. You ready? Throw it in there. Throw it in there. We just saw a whole school. See if they were fatter, dude. Hey, do you have any big tungsten weights? Like one ounce weights? Dang it. Okay. I was gonna like actually stuff them down the fish's mouth and maybe be able to pull off the wind. You know? I actually got some inspiration. I actually got some inspiration to shove those blades down. Yeah, dude, I got some inspiration online a couple of weeks ago, you know? I don't know. I heard some guys want a bunch of money doing that. So I just thought it would be a good idea. Okay, here we go. Uh-oh. What do you think? Yeah, I did. Oh, that's bigger than my biggest, definitely. I don't know if that's two, but... Ooh. Yeah, that is pretty close. I don't think he's fat enough, but he's kind of got a... Ooh. Dude, I think you might have it. I don't know, I might have it. I'm not gonna lie. I really think this is a one eight or a one nine, though. I just have a feeling. I don't know his body's so thick. Two even. Is it two or eight, bro? Or a one eight, one eight. Dang it. Dude, I'm barely hanging out of that lead. I know. Almost the two found it. Holy... Man, I thought I had it there for a second. All right, boys. I think we're gonna close it off. I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Congrats to Connor. Oh, we did, man. Good job, bud. Good job, man. Finally did it.
