 Alright guys, just got orders to ship out, we got about eight or nine there and those are going to be shipped out today, but let's continue on. Alright guys, so what we're going to be doing today is I'm going to take you guys for a day in the life, but we're pretty much going to go behind the scenes of what we're going to film today. We're going to film a bigger video and that's going to be what we're going to do is we're going to go out with our buddy Mack and we're going to go striper fishing. So Mack pretty much, he guides on the lake and stuff and he texted me and my dad the other day. I was like, hey, I have an open day, how about you guys come and film with me? So we're like, sure, and we never striper fish, so we're like, why not? So today we're not going to be using live bait, we're going to be using big spoons like this big old Ben Parker spoons to catch this big striper. So I'm hoping we're going to get a lot of good footage. Brought the big camera in the back. I have everything ready. It's going to be good. Stay tuned. I just got here. I have a lot of camera gear with me. A lot of camera gear. Right here's my big camera in this bag. Got the big camera. Got the GoPros. Got some drinks and a few snacks. And then I need to get this GoPro mount off of here. And I got this big old mount right here. That's going to go on the boat. That should be good. There's going to be a Captain McFowler here in the water. Really? Yeah, I had to buy 300 bucks. What do you want in the rain? I'll plug that hole in a second. I forgot. I had scuppers out in case it rained last night. What? So guys, I actually brought my Akuma Helios. This is standard Helios. I apologize for the wind. It's pretty bad out here. And I'm back for one of these Akuma water. It's pretty sick. We're ready to go. What's going on team? I'm about to do a little commentary over what we're doing here. It was just so windy guys. It was so bad. So I mean, I'm pretty much... I'm going to have to do a commentary over this and walk you through whatever we're doing. So let's go ahead and start this commentary. So right here, we are pretty much... Hold on. Alright, we're good. Our main plan was to drop these big old Ben Parker spoons down on the fish. They weren't wanting to cooperate. It was hard to find that. So we got an umbrella rig and we were going to troll for those stripers. So right here, he's pretty much explaining what we're doing at the moment. Actually, no, he's got the big spoon on right now. So right now, we got the spoons. What we're doing with the spoons is we would look at the graph. We would read the graph. We would see how deep those fish are. So see, this fish were in 80 foot. He's got one of those little counters on the reel. Drop it down about to 90 foot. Start reeling it up as fast as you can. Like literally pretty fast. All the way back up to 30 foot. Drop it back down again. Really back up again. Trying to just entice those fish. Trying to get those fish to bite that bait and be really aggressive with it. But that was the biggest thing. You know, it's going to key that reaction bite. So you're dropping it down to wherever the fish are. Maybe 10 foot below those fish. Ripping it up. Dropping it back down. Ripping them up. And that should fire those fish off. Should fire the school off if you're a rear school. And we're also dropping this on some timber. I mean, we're dropping this pretty deep. Right here, I believe we're in like 50 foot. Maybe 40 foot. But you can also do this, you know, an 80 foot, 100 foot. Wherever the strippers are going to be located. I mean, those strippers go very deep. But at this point in time, we were around a 50 foot. So he's actually using the combo that I brought, which is just my Helios. And then he's got that. That's his own reel on there. Right here, I actually just hooked up into the first one. And we actually switched over from the spoon to the umbrella rig. And we were trolling that and picked up this first striper right here. As you can tell, the wind in the background is just ridiculous. It is kicking on and it is just bad. So first fish right there. Not too big. Nothing big really. But still a fish. We got something started. We got our first one. And we're hoping we're going to find a good pattern. But really healthy fish out here in this wind. Out here in this current, this fish, you know, they love all that current. They love everything. It's pushing the bait and making those fish eat. Right here. Just kept trying to get like a little thumbnail going. I mean, not the biggest fish guys, but you know, it was still fun. First fish of the day. It's going to get us started. It's right here hooked up into a second one. We're doing the same exact thing, except we're actually at a different spot. And we're trolling with those umbrella rigs. And pretty much what we're doing guys is we'll drop it out there. We'll be trolling at around three miles per hour. So we're trolling at three miles an hour. We will let it go out all the way to where the little thing on there says how far and how much line you have out. All the way to 115 foot. So we'll let this thing coast out 115 foot and troll with it at three miles an hour. So there's a second fish. It's about the same size as the last one. Nothing really big. I was really hoping we were going to get in some like 20, 30 pounds sharpers. But guys, the weather today was just not the best. It actually ended up raining on us. So it was pretty much, I mean, it was just horrible. So we're using the Captain Max umbrella rig right here. We got it on a Captain Max Akuma rod. He started getting his own rods with Akuma. And the Vector Akuma reel. And pretty much what we're doing is we are letting this thing go out. We're going to have like three miles an hour. I'm letting it out about 115 foot. It's got a counter on it so I can tell. And just trolling with it. Like I said, three miles an hour. It's not too fast. The fish are coming up and eating it. We're trying to find those big ones. Hopefully we can find some. Drop that big spoon on them. All right, tell me what happened. I'll tell you what happened. Excuse me, this is what, this is the fish we're catching on the rig. These fish that are spiked up here in that 20, 25 to 40 foot. He's real catchable with a rig. Deeper than that. Of course he's a good one. He bit our fishing line. I don't know if he's going to get caught on that one. Well, I'm going to fix that now. Just worry about the one that's on the line. And one thing we like to do, we like to leave both rigs out. Why is that, you're saying? There's one fish, chances are we get a 10. Usually they won't get a 10. We had to move this one this case. I always like to leave the other rig in the water and try to get the second fish hooked up. That's better. Good looking fish. There you go. All right, well done. There you go. That's a better one, guys. All right. Nice fish. I'll tell you what, go ahead. Go to, yeah, go 50, 30, 50, 30, 50, 30. If you're reeling it up, yeah, he's going to try to pull you over the trance. Now if he bites it on the way down, why don't you do it real subtle? Yeah, if you're reeling it up, you're not. So guys, what pretty much happened is I had some more footage. I vlogged the rest of the day and I actually vlogged some footage of me literally drenched because right after this, this last clip that you just watched the sky was getting really bad and we got drenched. It looked like I jumped in a pool. So we got back to the ramp. We had to leave after that because it was pretty much... I'm here to film and if it's raining and I can't film then really what's the point and we didn't have any of our rain suits on us. So the trip, I mean it wasn't the best but we did still have some fun and we actually got a few tips out of this video and enjoy the video. But Mac, he's a great guy. If you guys are ever around the near, definitely go hit him up. You'll have a great time on the near. But we're actually going out. Me and him are planning. We're like, alright, let's plan again. We're going to go out a few more times in the next couple of weeks and hopefully get some really good striper footage for you guys. But if you guys enjoyed this video, you guys already know what to do. Please hit the thumbs up button. Leave a comment below on what you guys want to see but so much content is coming towards you guys. So stay tuned for all that and I'll catch you guys in the next video.
