 I hope y'all are ready for a doozy of a video today. Yes, I am wearing the same shirt as I did in the last video. I shot that one in the morning, I'm shooting this in the evening, because I'm extra hard working and I like to make fishing videos. Welcome back to the channel y'all, I'm glad y'all have subscribed and decided to hang out here for the next little while. One of the challenging things about making fishing videos of this style is that the fish don't always cooperate. But I like to show the successes and the failures because I feel like you learn a lot on failure days. That's pretty much with anything in life, fishing or anything else. It may not come into play on the next round, but eventually down the road that failure you can learn from will help you out. But in today's video we are going on a ride of successes and failures. Have y'all ever been to three different lakes in one day to try to find bass? That's right, me and Rob have gone on many fishing adventures, but never ever on this channel have I been to three different lakes in one day. I'm moving back up to a different region so I'm trying to figure out these places, fish as many lakes as I can and gather as much information as I can, so this is a very valuable day that I took good notes on. It's me and LunkersTV, had our finest, the adventures, the laughs, the everything you have come to expect and love about the combos of us fishing and I'm holding a jig in my hand. That means it's a good day. Nice and juicy. What are your thoughts about life today? Oh, you just hit me with a camera, I don't have to get up. Give me three words to describe what's going on right now. Uncertainty. That's a good one, that's a good word, because I have no idea what we're going to face today. Alright, let's come up with the other two while we're on the water. Okay, because I can just give you a job. I'm going to give you guys my first impressions. Water clarity is kind of dingy. Our shoreline veg, right there, robbed with another full send into the water. You guys know I like to smell, I like to smell my outdoor surroundings and right now we're experiencing a shad smell. It's kind of a sweet smell. If you're ever out on the lake and it's kind of calm, you'll smell the oils off the shad if there's a lot of them and it smells sweet, kind of like watermelon. If you're ever wondering what that smell is, that's what it is. Anyway, hitting you with that weird random fact right off the bat. Oh my gosh guys, there's a giant snake. Now if Flair were here, he would tell you that this is a... Cottonmouth? Oklahoma... Rattler? Yeah. That's a lot of snake right there. This is how you know it's going to be a good sinko day. Right there. Oh, the boat's floating away. Okay, let's wrangle that back in. Wow, that was really delicate and nice. All right, we have got some little shoreline veg. We're in 1.6 feet of water, black and blue, probably for this water. I have a fish. You have a fish? Yep, right on the bank, starting it out as on rock. On rock? It was on rock. A little guy. He had something happen to him. Oh yeah, he just started. Something tried to get him. Okay, first clue, 1.8, ooh, saw a shad out in front of the dock there. Okay. Noted. Got him. First fish. First fish. Feels half decent. Really? I don't feel bad. For second cast. Wow. Oh my God, that's why it doesn't feel half decent, because it's a freaking turtle. Is that your first turtle of 2018? That's my first turtle of 2018. Nakes and turtles. Feels good. They look like a good fit. Hey, reptiles. My back's really killing me today. That's a fish. Yep. Oh yeah. Shallow. So two fish right on the bank. Right on the bank. Hey, now we're on the right species. Good job, bud. Look at this snake. Look at this snake coming at us. Snake? Yeah, another one. Get out of here, snake. This one is not as big as the last one. It's out for a morning cruise. Dude, they're shad. They're shad. What's this here? Shad being crawled. I wonder how good the dam is. I totally forgot. Did you see that? Yeah. He hit it swimming in. I was turning around to look at the dam. And then my line was going whoop. He was swimming with it. I was kind of like bouncing it back in. It's actually pretty lucky that I have swimming in. He's on. Yep. Good? Big? No. Just like hooked in the weird side mode? That was so weird. How'd that happen? It's fat. That fish is fat. The fish looks healthy. I don't know how that happened. I don't know how that happened. But that is one, for sure. Our pattern that we figured out in three casts is happening. First fish on the jig. All right. 25 pound test is good for squirming. Always. We are going to look at our watch we don't have on. Where is I going with this? We've been fishing about 30 to 40 minutes. That turtle set it off. I mean that got the pattern going. Realized that the chatter bait was going to be up shallow. The deal straight away. But we've captured how many bass so far? Four. Two piece and a turtle. Up shallow. And they've been around points and a little hard bottom nearby. That always helps. The reeds when we first saw the reeds were like, oh man, it's going to be reed flipping all day. Not the case. What happened? I think it's the guy that points things out. That is a little, yeah. Yeah. I don't know what I told you. Yeah, you're probably right. Usually do. You're like, hey, I just spilled dip and glow all over your carpet. Just FYI. I just spilled coffee all over your console. FYI. Appreciate it. We're going to switch it up. Do a little green pumpkin blue swim jig here. Hadn't broken out yet this year. Have not thrown a swim jig hardly. Thinking this is good swim jig waters. We're out on the point. I just got pumped too. You see my face? Oh, he smokes. He got that swim jig. Oh, it's good. You know, when you got a lawn mower next to about 30 mile an hour winds. It's a real doozy. Yeah, I like when there's sprayed grass all over the area. Boy, if you like fishing shallow, you're in the right place. We've been out to the middle of the lake and it's like 20 feet deep out there. It looks like a very soft bottom. I don't think these fish have any reason to be out there. I think they're just going to be shallow. They seem to be liking this grassy stuff right here. I don't know what this is called. Let us know in the comments down below. Is it Gator Grass? I think I've heard it called that before. I'm just not sure, but they seem to like it. You think about getting the big Costco membership? I think about getting the sample. It's only 45 bucks. Just going in there and getting bulk? Yes, yeah. Bulk mayonnaise and chicken strips. You thinking? Do you think there's any big fish on this lake? No. The real question is, is there any food up here? Because we're in the middle of nowhere. That's a good question. I'm a very patient person. I think that's why I can fish with Lunkers so well, because we have two different thought processes going on. Sometimes being very patient hurts me though, because in a lot of these videos that we do for you guys, we got to figure out patterns quick, especially on new lakes that we've never been to. I've also fished with Lunkers enough to know when he's getting bored and tired and possibly ready to go. Despite all the exciting reptilian activity on the lake, so why not just go send it to another lake that you know nothing about? Another one that you've never been to at all. Just get on the old Google on your phone and start looking at any type of water and just send your dagum new bass boat into it. Nothing can go wrong. 74 and a half. Muddy water gets hotter way faster. You think this is muddy? I don't know. Just a second look here. My video. So we're here at the new spot. It looks like it's just been dumped by the giant helicopters of Yuhu. The Nestlequik Corporation has decided to dump all their leftover quick into the lake. Why would this place be this dirty? Yuck. There she goes. You guys ever have those days kind of wondering what you're doing with your life? I think we're there. I'm now going to ask you for your second word of the day for description. Oh, confused. Yeah, confused. How did we get here? Okay, let's begin. Do you want to know the actual visibility? 0.4 inches? Look at that. Nice green mill foil. That is very strange. I'm telling you, you probably won't be throwing anything here. This place got cancer. I don't think it's survivable. I've never been that baffled on a body of water in my life. In that short of time, my mind was racing. I was going, wait, there's like four different kinds of vegetation here. This always means clean water. Let me break this down for you. A little educational moment. Grass types like coontail, mill foil, even hydrilla. They're like little green combs. They are your friends if you like clean water. Bass love it, puts off oxygen in the water, and then it cleans the water. All those dirt particles that are coming down through the column, they get swept in by the grass, they get trapped on the leaves, they hold that, and then your left will just clean water. It's a natural filter. And it still irks my biscuits to see Texas Lake's stock carp in there, and then all the hydrilla is gone within like a year or two, and then the bass have nowhere to go. Y'all have ever seen a grass carp eat? You know that they're basically like a Pac-Man with fins? You know what I'm talking about, but I digress. We're throwing the brightest things in the boat that we can. It's super windy, and this water is just chocolate doo-doo. What is going on with this lake? Why is this water so muddy? There's zero reason why it should be this muddy. Man, I got a question. What's that? Is this lake always as dirty? No. What happened? It's been dirty for two months. Two months? Do you know what happened? I have no idea. Well, we got seven inches of rain. We'd never been here, and we saw all the grass, and oh man, this lake's probably clear at times because all the grass that's in it, good size crappie in here. I figure the bass probably aren't going to bite if it's normally clear and now it's muddy. Well, I'm glad y'all caught them. Yeah, you might try them. I think we will. Yes, sir. Still kind of baffled by how dirty that water was. Why not just trust the crappie man and his old gal friends and head to the third lake he was talking about? I think y'all know what's about to happen. Got to play the wind on this one. Yep. Good. Third lake, ladies and gentlemen. Have you ever seen a sin this full? Full blown effort right here. I think there might be a frog bite out here at some point. 4.8 feet right here. This looks awesome. Bright green grass. I like it. I think there is. What do you think? I think there is fish. How about that, dude? Yes. Oh, God. I got the jig back but it broke. I think there is fish in here. It only took three lakes. Sometimes you just got to sit down and contemplate what's going on. This has been such an adventurous exploration. Explorational. Kind of day. First spot we go to, I think Rob called it which I flip in and slug it in. It broke off. I thought it had it. I don't know. I think there is fish in here. Hopefully it's not one of those things where that's the only fish we catch. This is going to be an incredible day of exploring and then finishing it off not giving up on chocolate yuhu. We could have taken home on that last lake when they ate corn dogs. We chose to power through for you guys. Okay. I think we are doing something here now. I think we figured something out. He was chewing on it too. He's got it. Oh yeah. That's juicy. I enjoyed your bite. I enjoyed your fight. Have a good day. This is my favorite thing to do in fishing y'all. It's taking a jig. This half ounce jig right here. I got a craw trailer on it. This is a bluegill color to match all the bluegill that are up in the shallows right now. The post spawn delectables that are up there for those big bass to munch on. Putting you some thick line on there. I got the LFG rod right here but just your good old medium heavy to heavy action rod and getting in there and busting some jaws up. Sometimes that's bushes. Sometimes it's dock as it. Sometimes it's standing timber. In this case it was grass edge or a reed line. The technique is a simple pitch right towards the reeds. Let it fall straight down. It was about four feet deep right there. Let it hit the bottom, bounce it a couple of times and then pick it up and go to the next thing. What you're really looking for if you pay attention to where we're throwing are those little cracks and crevices. The areas that have shadows. Those big bass love to hide in the shadows in the heat of the day and they're just in there deep. It doesn't work out so good but today we were crushing them. It's like we couldn't do any wrong. We were getting out just about every single fish. I think we caught about 98% of them and this is why I love jigs. It produces big bass. God, I thought I had a horse. Oh, you got him in the tree. Did you see that? I did. Got me wrapped. Fun fight though. Might be a good fish. That's a good fish. Big, yeah. Oh my gosh, look at them. Wow. I got a zombie fish. That felt good. He's just running with it. Eating the steak and potatoes. Love it. I might lose him though. I'm gonna get him. We're on fire. Did you really just pop off that right there? Dude, it's like we can't lose a fish right now. We should. How good did that last one eat it? Pretty good. Had it down. That's what you want. I know a lot of you have said you don't like to throw jigs. Never had a bass bite on a jig? Throw one right now. They start eating that big stuff after the spawn and they get hungry. See his sugar. Oh, jeez. Oh, God. Carob. I thought she was about to bust you off. What do you think, sling it? Yeah. That fish dunked it, swam out. I had to get a second hook set on it and then got it. Look at that black on the fin right there. Dude, these are chunks. I mean, we're catching 20 pounds easily right now. That's what you want to see. A little black spot, kind of like a red fish Oh, yeah. That smells extra good after the day that me and Rob have had. This has been good. Oh, yeah, baby. Yeah. That's fun. I don't think a jig and a frog I mean, ladies and gentlemen, that's good times. What if it was like that around the whole lake? Just getting one like every 10 to 20 minutes just toad all day. But it's the whole lake. Oh my God, you had a fish on. What? I don't know what to say. I started pulling back and I was like, moving. Wow, okay. Wow. Yeah, these last three we have not really felt. Just been kind of going. You got to go with what brought you to the dance. Yeah, it's a good there you go. Toad. See ya. I thought there might be one in there. Oh, he's running. Oh, deep. Love you. Love you so much. At this point in the video, I'm not even sure if it's even worse showing more fish catches. I think you guys get the idea. Well, I mean, other fish catches are always nice. But we have just hammered the jigs until the paint's about to fall off. We've got a nice little back pocket that could possibly have some frog fish. You know we got to send it back there. May is usually when the frog starts to come into play. Send it in. All right, ladies and gentlemen. I just caught that one. I've exhausted my GoPro memories. I tried to get a frog bite here at the end of the day. There's two jigs in that mouth. In this video, we've just jigged them up. Jigged them up in bucket mouths. It's been incredible, hasn't it, Rob? Oh, I probably look really good. You look like the sun. Good, good. I think we've had a good time. We're going to let this fish go. We're good. Fish. I love you. I love all of you. I love your friends. I love your family. I do no wrong. Grab the line. Almost you like that. I call that the... There we go. Oh, no. I'm in an awkward position. Oh, my... So good. I don't even know what to say. I feel good. It's so amazing. What a good day. It's one of those days where you just go on it. This is in George W. type stuff. I have to ask you now, your third word of the day. Satisfied. Satisfied. Perfect. So I think I'd have to put a W next to a day. This is showing the failures and the accomplishments, but today we had more accomplishments than failures. And you got to love that. And I hope you guys learned something too. But if nothing else, hopefully you found it entertaining. You know I like making these longer form videos like this where I can kind of sit back and talk about it a little more and reflect on the exciting things that happened and give a little bit more insight. But you let me know in the comments what you think. Do you like this or do you like just random, random, vloggy style? I don't know if that's really a style. I feel like I'm getting old. I'm telling stories about fish. Yeah. That's when you know you're getting old. If y'all are interested in the technicals of the things inside of today's video I will describe those things in the description box. Because that's what it's used for. The lures, the line, the rod, etc. Overall, just a good day on the water. Subscribe right here for more action. Speaking of action, see these poles? I can make those things do that. It's kind of like magic. You don't see that every day. Last I'll see you coming either.
