 Welcome back to Nashville, Tennessee fishing freaks. We got a different video for you here today Me and OSG are traveling Beautiful lady right over there. So we're doing a little sightseeing in here in Nashville And I'm visiting with the music city bass fishing team and last night we went and we Sat down with those guys and we talked about industry and tournament fishing and and the you know The future what what these guys want to do. I'm trying to help help them out Answer questions and we're gonna be hitting the water with a few of them here today We've got one more stop before we hit the lake today. We're gonna be going to a little distillery Taste in a little brown water before we hit that beautiful Tennessee green water. So let's head over there Let's get a little taste Tennessee and let's keep this ball rolling guys. So come along All right guys, we have made it to the lake The Nelson's green briar distillery was a really cool story I got to learn what a real Tennessee whiskey is give you a hint It's got to be filtered through charcoal to be official Tennessee whiskey. I'm about to jump in the boat with One of the teams from the music city bass fishing team This is Cade and Harrison right here. This is Cade. What's up? What's up, my brother? How we doing? We got Harrison right here He's our captain We got the old birch fired up We got pop back there Say goodbye to dad. All right, let's crack the beers boys. He's gone Just kidding. We got to get five fish. How do we catch five fish? We're gonna go hit some drops. Then we're gonna Yeah, we're gonna fish much top water today Okay, water's a really big player on this lake in the summertime conditions It has actually been cooler here that I ever would imagined the last yesterday was Mid-80s just kind of cool the nights. I think last night was 68 pretty incredible a lot of rain So top water might be a player You guys mentioned some grass grassy type things Okay, I have actually not fished this lake in over 10 years I really do not remember much about it except I did a lot of ledge fishing in the hot summer time All right blazing worm tied on ready to go Here we go By 40 in the afternoon right now. So we're in a little let's call it an imaginary micro derp All right, there was there's a lot of boats out here right now. I think there actually is a derby going on We're gonna do a little worm chunking I'm seeing some grass around the shoreline Maybe an evening bite swim jig something like that Water's kind of dingy. I'm here to observe learn and Reap these boys on all right boys. Here we go. All right throw towards that big log. I Said that a lot in my guiding days Get him Yes, sir. Oh No Look like he had a little meat on him Wait a minute boys. Are we are we swinging and missing over here? We can't be missing doinks What do you got? Let me see I've never seen a brush pile that big on this lake in my life on a live scope Yeah, that that deserves a cast or two Yep, I got me it's either a bluegill or a little bass. Oh Could be a gill or a crappie I was just using the forest boys. No live scope Yeah, if you get those taps and you keep swinging and missing and choose the crappie You definitely had a basket Time to clock in here can't have three misses Some of us needs a top water one of us needs to flow Yeah, I don't know if they're shallow yet, but they might let's get that skunk out All right, I'm seeing a but oh was baiting worm like you guys's combo like the method you're working here Thinking I might have to get on a swim jig if we're gonna be doing this This is what we're gonna be doing grass and shade or good summertime deals Get that follow-up Harrison just had a blow up on a buzzbait do yeah, I'll swim it weightless And it's real thick Yeah Just looks like a buzz bait All right guys, we got about four bites right now. I just missed one on blazing worm just Spit it right there at the boat. We got Probably two hours of solid sunlight. Let's do it Lady grass. I like it Get him this just busted right here in the grass We've got to go grass hero on them Like a thing down there like when you're reeling your finger through the grass you're like Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I I do that sometimes I didn't know it was called the Alabama shakes, but No, I I usually stroke mine. I'm a stroker. I'm a Texas stroker. That's what I'll call it Oh, I just had him just stroked him right there as soon as they hit the water yet You like my Texas stroke man, not the best setup here with the Flurro usually go braid, but we got a bite About a two-pounder hooked up. How we go get him out? Let's go. Oh, no tree pounder He's back there in that juice juice, huh get him you got him you hooked up come on What the heck Okay boys, we have had seven bites and No landings and you had braid on there, right? No Yeah, it's it's the salt Content usually so there's a fish just blew up right here. Oh, I lost him What is it? What's with this boys? We have hooks on our base or what? All right, what's the move? What are we thinking? What's in your heads right now? You're in a derb What are you doing? I think we're gonna flip on them Fish and worms and marinas and maybe a few chatter baits or spinner baits or something they're gonna go hit a point and Ride it dark. We're gonna fish one of my favorite grass beds on the whole lake. Okay. You got a little milk around set up All right, okay, do you like the plan? I like it. I prove. Yep. Okay. All right So one of the questions the boys were asking me was about plastics You may have this question too Like how come some of the Guggen baits you only you catch one fish and the plastics done So we have taken note of that and on some of the baits we've increased the amount of salt content and then also reduced the plasticity so that's it's softer or It's stiffer, but some of them you want it to be really soft like lunker log Some some of those baits you want maximum action on so we keep the original recipe But some of these we are tuning so if you go get a newer bag off the shelf You may notice Bandita Bugs are a little stiffer. Go ahead and crank her up crank her up. I know you're ready to roll We're rolling the next hole, but this is one of the questions they were asking so I just want to tell you guys too so Some baits you want softer some baits you want a little stiffer for flipping But anyway, that's something we've taken note of and just in the recipe on some baits How far are we going? Little run back where we came from. All right Are the Nike dry fit socks or those like a team you gotta have them or what's the deal? So you guys are your teammates, so what's your typical strategy when you're fishing at Derb? How do you guys play off of each other's Strengths and weaknesses are what one of us will throw one your practice. We'll throw different baits and find what works So unless we're like on them, you know, you know, unless we're just Catching them left and right on one bait We try to like kind of go in different paths and see if we can't pick them off off different things Smart smart or even at the start of a tournament like down in Florida We're fishing some offshore grass. This was what got us to the national championship And so I was throwing a crank bait over the grass and he was throwing a Texas We we had been catching them all week on a Texas rig But I picked up my crank bait because I knew it would work and I caught two of our keepers that day on that crank bait Until then he switched And we grinded out the rest of the day. We caught two more in a Texas rig at the end Secure the spot and This national championship was humongous. I mean a big deal and this was that heart will So what did you guys think about fishing that event? Like how did that feel walking up on stage at a bit that big? Honestly Didn't feel that different you just there's more people but you're so all it is is weighing in fish But it I mean it's an experience to see that many boats and compete We struggled day one, but day two We kind of like went fishing and we caught three really nice ones and we pulled up with a really big bag We jumped up 46 spots. I'd say that that day too was it was rewarding. That was memorable for sure Yeah, I was on Cade's birthday to the hand that is cool and how many boats were there in our tournament almost 200 in the high school almost 500 so it was What would you say is the biggest thing you're trying to learn when you go to these lakes like what's the biggest questions That you typically have well on the way there I'm reading topo and watching YouTube videos usually in weeks and months before I like it See when I when I was in high school, we didn't have high school Tournaments I would read a lot bass master magazine and watch a lot of Saturday morning TV Sometimes I didn't compute to my exact lake that I was going to but it seems like now on YouTube There's so many creators or so many videos. You could pretty much learn Exactly what you want to like if you want to learn about Skipping jigs under docks and clear water, you know wintertime spooning for suspended bass or you know exact jerk bait Whatever, whatever you can learn exactly what you want to do and take it to your body of water So it's really cool really cool to see it evolve fourth quarter of the of the derb Gonna make it happen got a got a marina right here. Actually, this is crazy you guys because 10 years ago 10 years ago, I do believe this is where I launched out of for my practice And I ended up finding a pretty decent spot out here on this ledge Fishing a spoon and some crankbaits. This is an area where actually something crazy happened this year very dangerous So I'll just show you a pretty cool product if you guys have not seen this thought about getting one for my crispy collector He's raising it up right here. So you guys can see it There's a there's a cable and a rope right here It goes all the way around and as he's lifting it up and it's getting tighter So this will prevent this motor from flipping up and becoming a basically a blender So an unfortunate thing that happened This past season was someone was running up in this creek and hit a random tree and the motor flipped up He was pretty much hit bottom on plane and his motor flipped up and it chopped like his arms up his whole like torso and everything and so then He recovered he came and gave a speech at one of our tournaments trying to convince us to buy the leash Which you all just saw on the motor mm-hmm Yeah, pretty good salesman for that. Yeah, the leash is literally what it's called So if you guys are You know on a lake that's got some crazy stumps random floaters any of that stuff Probably a good thing to look into. All right boys fourth quarter moves. What are we doing? Oh, well, we're gonna put her on inside the back of this marina Wow, I can't believe nothing's touched that frog Yeah No, it was grass. I Wouldn't gonna not set the hook though. Yeah And got it boys. Got him. Wait lady. Hey, whoo. Oh, I'm gonna sniff this one good You know you're the old Yig fish man Yeah, all right boys. We out here. Hey Grinding but we got one we got one giving a deep sniff. Oh Put a little extra sauce on that one Let him go Tennessee sniff the old jig bite right at dark I thought we were gonna have skunker for a second. We were like Can't have that. Come on man. You got one more spot in mind Little sundowner One more sniff See my goodness. I got me a bass sniff out here The weather's been phenomenal 107 back in Texas. It's like 72 right now.
