 Oh my God, it's a giant. No, no, no. Welcome back to the channel, everybody. Right now I'm going to pick up my buddy, Trey at the boat ramp, and we're going bass fishing, baby. And today's video is sponsored by Carl's. I am stoked about the action in today's video, guys. It's quintessential springtime bass fishing. You're gonna love it. And some of the things that we're using today are what you would think of when the water starts warming up. We're using a frog, we're using square bills, which I haven't used in a while, square bill bites heating up, shad spawns early morning, and we're using a lunker logs, things like that to target shallow bass that are feeding on shad and just getting defensive around their fry, summer spawn, summer post spawn.

He's my buddy, he's my tournament partner, he's also our senior vice president of product. So anytime he gets in the boat with me, he's always got little tasty treats with him, which is fun. I was already on the water in the morning, crappie fishing, you guys saw that in the last video and I kinda had an idea that there was some bass up shallow. So we just started getting after it up in the shallows when I was picking up, get out your moving banks folks. Overcast, windy, we're breaking out spinner baits, square bills, swim baits, all that fun stuff. And I'm seeing a lot of shad up in the shallows getting pushed up against some areas with some rocks and some laydowns and things like that. So it's setting up for a good moving bait bite. Did you fish all the way back over here? No, I haven't fished any of this. Basically stopped at the marina. Got good depth, my God. Perfect. Classic random ramp fish. There you go, there you go. It's like I willed it into existence. You did. That's a good one. What ramp did you bat? Bat. This barge ramp looks like a nice boat ramp. Bass, it's a piece of cake. It's got their goblin shaft and loaded up on it nicely. You've been on that little just plain white saucy here lately, or? It's been a month long program for me out here. Oh, I got one on the square bill, dude. Look at this. This feels weird. I got it on a noodle of a rod. This could be a barge, something here. It's just about to say one's last time you caught one on the square bill. Oh, big bass. Here we go. Here we go, baby. Oh, big cat. I haven't caught a fish on a square bill in a long time. Right there on the corner, it's trying to shake that thing. Look at that thing. This is a rather large robber. Pretty good. Pretty good. Perfect. Oh, he went for the back grab. He got the big hands, bud. Look at the size of that thick girl. Look at that. Shoot. That's what I'm talking about. Look at that. Banger. Banger down the hatch. Maybe this is our lake. Surviving on robber. I don't know what the hell. I haven't caught a fish out here ever. And I get with Trey. Individually, we're not good together. We got a survivor. That's a good one, man. I think that one might be a hair over, bud. There's a juicy one. I'm gonna say maybe six, five and three quarters. Still a healthy looking fish, so let it go. Not that we would keep an ugly fish. Put it in the fryer, but. Back into the shallows. I usually say back into the deeps. Back into the shallows you go. It's great on camera. Doesn't take himself too seriously. Doesn't think he doesn't stay in there. Look at that on the tree. Good. Another tasty one. I mean, our square building, man. Square building into the wood cover, my gosh. Oh no, don't get on that thing. Whatever that is, hold up. He's giving me the old seesaw. There he is. Oh, you tried to do it. You know, just a second sample of that rod will be significantly more effective. Chunky butts. Prespawner, baby. My goodness. Well, this is quite the situation we have here, folks. So far we've got a three, a four and something and maybe a six, like this thing's fat, dude, this thing might even be bigger. Haven't picked up a square bill in a long time. That's just getting her done. Shoot, baby. See ya. Look at that, beautiful. Mind if I go give her the switcherilts? These are some of the old protos. That got a crappie. That tells you how many of them are in here, dude. Cleco? We're seeing those plecos, those armored catfish. Oh, that guy just made himself into a meal. Join the collection. Tasty one. The crappies. They've all been on like key pieces, though. The bigger trees. Eat me. We'll biscuit eater right there. Sir, eat your food, Tina. A little whackfish. Strong. Just looking at some crappie on the scope. What? You know, these pesky bass. They just keep getting in the way today. Got it down. Goodness. Love to see it. You just took it deep. Using that little finesse hook here, guys. Little finesse hook that my buddy Trey fashioned up for these type of situations. I like tackle. Very tackle junky. That's a beautiful fish right there. Nice. I'm going to say it's a three pounder. He's got a nice big belly on him. Awesome. Little screen. Like you said, today's one of those days where a cave troll is going to bite. So you've got to feed the trolls. Big green trolls. Didn't touch it. Trey just had a nice fish on his frog. How are we going to get him? Well, I'm a wacky. I'm doing a little Texas line size here. I've got 15 pound. I do this on lakes that have the cave trolls living in it, just in case. And I'm glad I've got it on here. Just the last couple got just dropped off again, it's 10 foot. Oh, oh, got him. No, the tree. I thought he had it. Yeah, it sucked it down. Getting in the zone with that thing. I'm feeling sort of a jig throw in here. Yeah. Oh, get him. Yes, sir. That is a, oh my god, it's a giant. No, no, no. Get him out. No, no, no, he's there. He's there. You got to pull him out, pull out, pull out. There you go, buddy. Holy s***, what's up, dude? Oh, yes, dude. Holy s***, dude, look at that. Dude, up there in the dirt, baby. That was one of the best frog bites I've ever seen in my life. Oh my god, in the dirt. Drake, you the man, dude. You the man. Look at that thing. That's a monster. I think that's my biggest frogfish ever, man. Oh my god. Do you want to put him in the wild? Yeah, get a weight on him, possible? Yeah. I hate the prototype old eat me frog. Man, I haven't had a big bite in so long, too. Like, I've really been struggling. Got the good ones. That, my friend. We're going to weigh it. I thought, I thought when he got in there, I was like, oh no, don't get up. I just started going straight in. I'm not sure what the hell. He's cracking up front. We still got a 360 note? Oh yeah, we're good. I mean, it looked like a 10. One of those bites, too, were completely shark tip or tail. And I was like, oh no. Oh god, what discipline not to set the hook until it was time. That sound will be in my dreams for a while. You cracked his ass. Just right in the nose, too. Just like that. Back to the bushes. Dude. Major props. Awesome. Major props. That took some skills. Through that thing past the tree right there, up into the crevasse, and then had to steer it around the tree twice. Had a little beef at 65 pound braid. You got to have it when you got cave trolls out there. Just had a goose come up here like he was going to attack us for some reason. I bet that thing would be delicious. Is that the biggest frogfish of your life, baby? Pretty close, man. It's up there. Biggest frog about of the year for sure. Biggest frog I've had in many years. At least five plus years. Captured. Captured on camera. Smash the like button. Yeah, this is frog only. Yeah, back there. Is that even possible? Oh my gosh. That's a giant. Oh my gosh, Ray. Holy moly. That was a big one. Just working that filthy. This is actually a frog that I had when we were testing out the softnesses of the bodies. Trying to get the right softness. And so it doesn't have to eat me on top of it. It has no color. It's just a plain white frog. It tended to be pretty good. Today's one of those white frog days. Just four pounds. What's quite as big as that? Seven or eight? Well, folks, we're here at pretty much the end of our day. We just rolled into like a little pond. Backwater pond. Ray saw a herring land back here. There was a season there. Check it out when it landed. Shad went everywhere. Two frog bites. One was over five. The other one was four. That by far has been the bait of the day to catch the big one. I haven't even picked it up. Ray's been throwing jig and a frog. I've been throwing crankbait, wacky rig, just fishing tight to cover. These bass are tight on stuff. This is the time here where they start to get on that frog. It's beautiful. They got two foot water, two foot high. There's just a bit of water on some of these things. It doesn't take much. There's a lot of willow trees around us. Bugs live in these willow trees. They fall out, bluegill, on those things. A lot of times you hear little pops under the willow trees at the bluegill eating bugs. Big bass will hang out from spawn through May, June, sometimes late summer if they've got cool enough water. If they've got enough water over their head, got enough oxygen, they stay in there where those bluegill are hanging. Just a fun, fantastic, fantastic day out here on the water with my buddy, Ray. This is my best day on the lake. The last video you guys saw was me crappie fishing. That was this morning. And then I picked Ray up in the afternoon. And it's just been, we just switched the bass and started cracking them as well. I think we've, what do we got here? A 25 pound sack. Something like that. 23 to 25. Oh my gosh, another another big one. So much fun today guys. My favorite day on the water this year so far. Slammin' crappies, slammin' bass. Watchin' my buddy crashin' on a frog. I'm gettin' juicy ones on the square bill. Gettin' to pitch to specific objects. It's just fun times. So go ahead and smash that like button. We will see you on another outdoor episode here on LFG Fishing TV. Godspeed, God bless you, and we'll see you on the next one.
