 Well, the roosters are crowing and the sun's gonna rise soon. It's about time to get on the water and get after those big bass y'all. But first I'm gonna tell you about the sponsor of today's video and that is Dollar Shave Club. Now if you're a traveling guy like me and you're always running around the lodges and cabins and hotels and forgetting your razors can get pretty expensive. If you like paying a ton of money for razors and all these accessories and stuff like that and driving to the store then go right ahead. But if you want to make life easy on yourself and be fresh and clean while you're doing your thing out in the woods and on the water, then sign up for Dollar Shave Club. It's easy. It's cheap. It's delivered right to your door and if you lose a thing or two, no problem. You got more stuff coming in the mail anyways. Now I just got their shower and shave kit. Yes, that is officially what it is called and it is perfect for this trip down here in Mexico because things haven't exactly gone well on the back end if you know what I'm saying. So if y'all want to get signed up for the same box with the trial-sized versions of the shave butter, of the body wash, the executive razor. That's not a trial-size. That's an actual thing. Replacement cartridges and the OneWipe Charlie's. It's all in there for five bucks plus free shipping. And after that replacement razors and refill cartridges are only a couple bucks a month, so it's a heck of a deal. Go sign up. Make your life easier. Link is down in the description. Now that's done. It's starting to rise. It's time to get out on the water and begin the first video of Lake Commandero. Big bass, me and LFD. Let the games begin. Fishing freaks to a very, very special day here. Out on Ron's Beads Fishing Adventures on Lake Commandero. The reason it's so special, I'm back here with LFD. Hoping to break his PB this week. We're gonna be here a few days. So hang on tight. Make sure to go ahead and subscribe here. And thanks for tuning in. If you guys already know the gist of the lake, if you haven't seen the other Commandero videos, make sure you go watch. And we were here about a month and a half ago, and it was good. Very good. Big bass in here. He's looking to break his PB. We'll get into that later. Right now, let's get into some top water action while the light is low. That's awesome. It's 20 feet right here, by the way. Yeah, these banks are very steep. Like right away on the big fish. All right, going with the weightless plastic. Just got first bite of the day. All right, we got a little something happening here. Second bite. They are sitting pretty close to the bank. Of course, it's steep drops here. A little one. First fish of the day. And he's in the boat. I got him. He's a wild one. He might get eaten up there. All right, broke the ice, dad. Don't want to give you the wrong impression with that fish. But I promise you there's some heads in here. The first one I had on, I couldn't even turn. I want to eat it right at the surface. All right, got a little something going here in these little bucks right on the bank. Another little one. Or load it in there. I think it's a big momozer. Got to be a little bit deeper. You done with the fly? No net. First little butter fish of the day. There we go. Now we're getting somewhere. Eat that magic shad. It's a male. A little bit heavier than I thought. There we go. That's pretty fish. Got him right at the top of the mouth there. A little bit deeper. Those little ones reading it right on the bank. This one ate it probably about 10 or 12 feet deep. Good fish right there. See you, baby. All right. All right. There we go. Hey. Yeah. I got to change it. This is when I like this magic shad. A lot of people throw flukes. I throw them a lot too. But the magic shad has got a little diamond tail to it. It has a very slow, wide wobble. And I like it better for pre-spawn and spawn. If you want to fish something like that in the spawn, you can just fish it slower. It's more like a like a Senko wobble. And I'm throwing that on one of these really cool weights that I like from BMC. It's like a just a lightly weighted screw lock elongated hook. Perfect for these style baits. Little backlash. Oh, fish ate it right there. I watched him eat it. Oh, that was cool. Just absolutely. Hello. Welcome to Common Darrow. Man, that fish ate it like right on the bank in the tree and swallowed it. Geez. That's a little bit bigger than I thought. When he first flashed on it, I thought he was like a two pounder. That's not a two pounder. Good pretty fish right there. Good male. Yeah, that's a male here down in Common Darrow. Okay. Hey, I need a fluke. I'm gonna get it. Good thing I brought an entire sack full of these that I've been waiting to use for years. This color seems to be working. When it just starts to sink, it just does this right here. And it's a pretty, pretty dead fire action. They hit it pretty good. The water's unusually clear right now. So top water, flukes, weightless baits. Should be good because they can come a long ways to get it. They can see it coming and that's typically when it's effective. And you see this little ditch right here, a lot of times that brings in debris into the lake and it piles stuff up right there and makes a good spot for fish to hide in. I hear a parrot. Yeah, parrots way up there guys. Pretty cool. Blind and parrots. Got him. First cast with the bait change. First fish on Common Darrow. It's a start baby. It's a start. Just a start is going to be about that big this afternoon. There you go. There he is again. Let's be a little one. See the little boy grow up. Little deeper dead. A little deeper. Yeah, this one needs a net probably. Bigger ones are out deeper. There's a little better one there. Oh yeah. Toadtastic. How about that? That's a short and squatty one. Look at that mouth. Okay guys, there's the first big one of the trip. Look at that big old mouth. Big old eyes. The tail is pretty beat up. That fish was down there and we're sitting in 27. I'm going to guess that fish was probably in like 15. So all the small ones have been on the bank and I was working some brush tops out there in that little deeper water and this one just loaded up on it big time. Pretty fish. Great fight. Followed the typical spawn pattern. Very good. These bigger fish are going to spawn in that little deeper water I think. Typical common narrow fish just taking off like a rocket. Okay man, it was good. That magic shad seems to be just crushing it. Love this bait right here for fishing really slow and just on that. That's a 16th ounce weight. So fishing it pretty slow. 25 pound fluoro on that medium heavy big sexy. Seven foot four. All right, we're going to let this beautiful one go right here down into the depths. Magic shad. A decent one. See if there's any with it. A lot of saw one. Maybe not. Not bad. Oh, there's one. Nope, it's a tiny one. That tiny mate. I didn't double hooked. It is just so calm right now. I switched up rods a little bit. I'm throwing a 20 pound fluoro. This is actually uh, well John's rods. The rigged rod. Seven foot two medium heavy. Um, and I got, that's the first fish on the gold right there. Actually second fish. I just caught one. Didn't have my GoPro rolling. Um, and then I put on my other rod a 25 25 pound fluoro. I got a little quarter ounce swimmer head. Uh, or not a head, but just a weighted hook with a little flasher on it. And I'm going to wait to throw that when we get a little wind, but it's just so calm right now. The stick baits, I think are just going to be the key. I don't know if a Texas rig, we haven't really messed with the Texas rig yet, but this right here is so dirty in the water. I mean, you don't even have to do anything with it. Just throw it out and probably can't see the action here, but it just wobbles so good. There's one right there on the brush line. It had a feeling. Let me get a bite right there. Oh, he broke me off. Yeah, that was a large one. Damn, he took my hook too. He's really digging that hook, but okay. There you go. Dad getting in the game. I thought I had a bunch of weighted hooks. Apparently I do not, which I'm just a little sour about right now. At least when it's calm, you can see your line jump. Start to move. Oh gosh, got it right under the boat. Still got it. Broke me off again. That was a big one. Yeah, that was a big one. You can tell by the way, it's just one thump. Yeah, I probably need to go back to that 25. We're just in the land of giants here. All right, fishing freaks back in the game with my sunglasses. Back to my big sexy with 25 pound test. Broke that 20 off twice. Another good fish the way they thumped it, especially that last one I was working out a little bit deeper. It's in about 16 feet of water and it just went started slowly swimming towards the boat. There was no tapping about it. So if we break off 25, then we're screwed. It's very small. What do you got rigged there? This is Salamander Senko. Might be a better one there. That's a big one. And he's got it down. There's a good size in there. He had a good right in the top of the mouth. Nice fish right there. All right, we're going to let this beautiful one go right here down into the depths. Dad's hooked up on the old Texas rig. Not a giant. Well, they sure do make you set the hook hard out here, don't they? I just watched you catch that eight pounder. I don't think it was quite eight, but it was a good one. Another one? Yeah. Better one? No. Oh yeah. Walla Monday. There is these things. Look at the tails on them. Walla Mondays, I believe is what they're called. They look kind of like a raccoon fox. What do you think about being in Mexico so far, Dad? Deep in the heart of Mexico. I've enjoyed watching you catch big bass and Walla Mondays. You need to catch a Mondo, man. I know. I'm working on it. Right now, they've conquered me. First devil of the trip. Mine's smaller. Dad switched up to a little Ocho, I think. Just going slow. Another small one on the swimmer. We can just tell when it's a little and they just try to eat it. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Time to load up. One big fish out of that hole right there. I'm thinking though that that swimmer is going to be key when it's windy. I really like that I'm able to throw that out and I can slow roll that through the treetops when it's windy. It's super hard to work that weightless bait. If I really need like a one eighth ounce weighted belly hook, that's perfect for what I want. Unfortunately, I can't find them. We're going to move to a different spot. I think Fernando said we were going to move up the river, maybe find some more bluff walls. Definitely when the boat is sitting in 30 feet of water, we're getting bites casting up to those steeper banks around that brush and rock that has been key. I'm glad we've established that pretty much right off the bat within the first hour or two of the trip. That way we can go experiment with other things and at least we have that to fall back on.
