 Let's come here on the Savannah River. Let me start off with a frog. Daddy Van Dam's using a chatter-donk. We're gonna see what we can get into. We were on the beach here earlier. It wasn't it. I think we could have caught them good, but we'd have to wait like three to four hours for that water to get right. Now this wasn't wanting to wait that long. It's like you're just killing time, kind of hitting random stuff and we're not really fishing productive. I'd rather come out here on the Savannah River, which I haven't been to in a while. Like the Ogichi, it's been about five to six months. I've only gone one time and then out here it's been, it's been a few longer than that. It's probably been seven months. So we're gonna see what we can get going today. See if we can get a few fish. The weather's actually really nice. The sun's finally peeking through the clouds. I was tied on a frog just to kind of play around and get a frog fish would be fun. We're mainly gonna be fishing a lot of this cover. Especially this tide being out going tide. We're about halfway through it. Some of these fish just are moving out to this main river. What was that? Turtles? Dude, I couldn't tell you the last time if there's pads on this thing. That would be cool to catch a frog fish. All this is really good, yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I'm gonna throw a spinner rig guys, give it a little shot, bump it off some of these lay-downs. You guys are wondering about the Watertemp 72. Down in Florida last week, it was between 80 and 85. Really? That's probably a mosque is getting on it. That bite was insane. Don't come off as a good one too. That distracted me, do whatever to the left. It hit it at the same time. That's a freaking good one, dude. That's a good bass on the frog guys, look how fat. That's a fat, dude. Look at that. Wow, I didn't mean to splash you, you all right? Bro, look at that fish. That's a stubby guy, ain't it? Look at that, guys. On a frog, I tied it on. Just to kind of play around today, and I don't know, first fish of the day on the Savannah River, we've been out here for what, 10 minutes? And a freaking good one on a frog, that's exciting. We're gonna put him in the box, that's a little fat guy, maybe get a cool picture at the end. That is literally a two and a half pound fish in a one pounders body, that's insane. Whatever, I did the same thing you did. You heard that blow up on the left, and I looked at you, but as I was looking, dude, he just, I was afraid I was gonna lose him. That looks monty. What's going up there that deep? Do you think there that deep up there? Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying you gotta be that deep, but those fish are hooked up on that, especially the cypress trees. I didn't even cut the legs on the same dude, I was gonna cut them, neither would I. Let's see if we can get one of these pads, guys. I would be so happy to get on a frog bite. Honestly, like the pads don't even look good to me, like in my opinion. Up on that, where that wood meets, the bank is better in my opinion. We'll hit this left side a little bit, and then we'll go in the back and hit just a few spots. We'll go to a good spot. Look how that skirt flared out. Guys, I probably shouldn't be throwing this frog, but I think I could catch a fish or two on it. I just think I can definitely have already had some more fish in the boat last time, so I'm fishing. But it was a good fish that ate it. And I think I could definitely get another bite, man, it's just a lot of fun. Love frog fishing. Broke, nose though, there's like a steel cable, and it just came off, just completely. Right where he should have been. He's about to pull all my rod out of my hand. I had to lean up on him, he was stuck in those trees. Look at how fat they are, dude. Oh my goodness. I'll tell you, they're eat. Little tiny one, second fish of today. Kinda had some trolling motor problems, trolling motor is broken, but that guy is fat. He's fat, dude. All right, big C, your turn. This is what we're having to do right now to steer. Not the best way to get to spots, but we're doing what we gotta do. Trying to get big Steve on a fish before we fix this trolling motor. Oh, that was a big mud fish. He hammered the heck out of me, broke me right off, guys. First cast on this new spot. See how clean that is, dude? He went one hard time, he felt huge. Oh, gosh, he hammered the mess out of it. Throw in there, dad. That was the craziest bite he should've used. Oh, oh, throw in there, throw in there. Reedudy must've been looking at it because right when I reeled it, yeah, yeah, you're money. I don't think I stuck him either, dude, you didn't. Yeah, look, look at his teeth marks behind my bait. That was a good bite, dude. Come on, get this fish. I was working on the bottom all of a sudden, I reeled it, dude, and he just went, dunh, so I was just kind of dragging him. Oh, yeah, yeah, he did. Bro, what is going on here? Guys, I don't know what happened in the last 15 minutes, but we've had probably six, seven bites. But we're in the right spot, we just gotta capitalize here. They're not eating it right there, they're just slamming it and then they just don't hold on to it for something. Oh, big one, oh my gosh, it's just a mudfish. That scared me, dude. I thought you had like a six, seven pounder. Oh my gosh, when the mouth came up, I was not expecting that. I haven't fished out in so long. Hey, you got your first fish. Well, big Steve, you got your first fish, he's a big one too. Look how fat he is, gosh, that's a thick boy. And these guys I do not bring in the boat, no mudfish in the boat. I thought you had a big bass for a second there. My thing's nasty. I'll fix your bait for you, so I'm not touching it. I'll pinch your hook a little bit. You want a lease of fish? But hey, listen, we've had a tough little day, just the trolling motor and everything, but we're still getting some fish. We're still getting some bites. We had a lot of bites down that other bank and I don't know what happened. We're gonna move here in a second. There are a couple more. Probably go off on this other side or a bend. Yeah, this is the stuff I'm doing right now. I'm trying to get my bait on, how I'm gonna, you got one? Oh, he's running at you, catch up on him. Oh, he's a war mouth. That was a huge war mouth. I was like, what are you? Yeah, we're doing a bunch of bass today. Hey, you're doing a Savannah River slam. You're gonna catch every fish and then you're gonna catch a bass. Look how pretty that fish is. Yeah, isn't that crazy? Look at that. See how chunky he is? Yeah. I bet that'd be good eating. You see like the red on his fins too? He's pretty. Every fish that we've caught today, like the bass, the mudfish, look at the belly on that thing. Like that's just, that was insane. Whatever a war mouth is. Look at that one in the distance, dude. Look how I'm coming. I'm calling him in, you see that? Look how I'm swimming. You like that? Look at how fast he's going. It's all something proper. Look at him, he's coming along. You see that? Dude, what in the world? I got a freaking nice one. I don't know, he's running. No, it ain't. What is that? That's a bass. Oh, it's a freaking big one, dude. Watch out, watch out, watch out. Dude, I'm talking giant. Oh! That's five pounds. I can't even believe that just happened. Dude! Can't even believe that just happened. Playing around. Dude, the frog is what's on. Wow. What's a big one, dude? I was looking at the gator and you were like, whoa, when I looked up, my frog was gone. Well, I saw something chase bait, so I was like, I'm gonna throw that. That's a freaking giant, guys. Freaking giant. That's Savannah River toad. Geez. When he came up next to the boat, it looked like a mudfish, but the colors of them were green. Yeah, the color was just weird, like walked out. Maybe I need to throw that frog more. I literally threw it out there, I was just... I wasn't even watching, I was looking at the gator. The gator was starting to come over because he saw my frog and I was just popping it and then you said something, I looked up and there was a huge splash. That was crazy. Holy cow, guys. That was crazy, guys. Maybe we need to throw the frog a little bit more. It's something that I won't throw on the Savannah River often. And I've caught two fish on it today, one being like a solid two and a half pounder and the other one being like a five. Like, that's some big Savannah River fish. And they're eating the top water, I mean, shoot. I mean, they won't eat anything else even. Nah, they won't. I mean, we threw in the, we threw a bunch of Texas rigs and we got a ton of bites, but nothing that would like really hold on to it much. You know, I only caught that one on it and then he had had some mudfish and... But I don't know, we're not really able to fish how we really want to. The trolling motor, like, I didn't really shoot y'all, but the cable snapped. So I literally just gotta, I gotta manually do it. So that's what him, I was like a little crank bait or a square bill would be money down this bay. But I didn't want to throw it because it's like, I'm always reaching down and trying to throw it. I want to throw a little bit more. I want big Steve to catch a few. I'm just gonna kind of mess around with this. Don't get him. Pulled him out of the slot. Pulled him out of the forest. You know what I'm throwing up there, I don't care. Hey, that's the risk you gotta take to get the bites. A little fat one. Wow, that took all day. Just think, you got your first bass of the day. That's the four hour fish, y'all. Hey, but you caught a warm mouth and your first warm mouth and he caught a mud fish. It's pretty fish. He's not big, but they're just thick out here, man. Chunky. He's big, he must be at least six pounds. When I saw your line pop, I was like, oh my God. You gotta be thick, you know what I'm saying? I don't know why I just looked at that tree and said, you know what, I got so in there. Another warm mouth. Big Steve somehow figured out how to catch another warm mouth. I can't get away from these things. Little brutes, they're cool looking. That one's not as pretty as the other one, but. It's not as big, is it? Mm-mm. Little twinkie. Little twinkie. Oh gosh, not missing you that time, buddy. It's a mud fish. That's the one that bit me earlier. He's going crazy. Y'all, this guy's huge, dude. You ready? I can't even turn him. He's big. Oh no. Oh no. It's a catfish. No wonder he's fine like that. That's what hit me earlier. That hard was a catfish. Look at how he's circling. See how he's circling? I'm about to say that's a little weird. Got a warm mouth, mud fish, caddies. Freaking big, dude. That's a big bass, dude. Let me see you, about four? Three and a half? Three and a half, yeah. It's crazy. The big ones are biting, dude. We got almost 12 pounds of three fish. We got a bag. I gotta do this, man. Look at those fish, man. That's crazy. Big Steve's catching all the species. Your boy's catching the thaddies. All right, it's your turn, Big Steve. Dude, he was running. He ran to the right so hard. He had me wrapped around that stump. Let's freaking go. I got three good ones in there, guys. If we like had a working trolling motor, a full day of fishing, and just like putting our heads down and moving, we'd have a bag today, guys. I'm talking a bag. Oh, oh, oh. What happened? What happened? We've had a day, guys. I really, all we have to do is catch like another, like a two-pound fish, and we, one or two two-pound fish would easily have 15 pounds. That's crazy, but I mean, I know if we like fish hard, and we gotta have 17, we might be able to put a 20-pound bag together. I mean, we got three really good ones in there. I was surprised by that one. I threw up right here, if you guys look, at these laydowns. I threw right up there. All of a sudden, I started like reeling it and kind of popped it over a stump, and I still thumped, and I saw a swirl, and he was running off to the right with it. That was a good one. This is all, like, territory that we fished earlier today. We're just coming back through, kind of cleaning up, because last time we didn't fish clean, so there's big ones. All right, guys, here we go. There's some good fish, man. Good river bass. We're actually about to get rained on, trying to release these real quick so we can haul butt back. Those are our two biggest ones today. About a three and a half and a four, five, four to five pounder. Beautiful fish. Easy four pounder. There she goes.
