 Yo, what's poppin' people, welcome back. I think it's in my teeth. It's literally all over your face. Did it look cool? It's in your teeth, oh my God. Welcome back to another video. Today, we're going to be doing the 1V1 Top Water Only Fishing Challenge today. And I'm actually going up against Tara. We're going to do the 1V1 challenge. Biggest fish wins. So it's not going to be like a five fish or three fish. Biggest fish wins. But we only throw top waters today. So that's the game plan. Also, it is the 4th of July. So this is kind of like a little 4th of July, red, white, and blue edition video. And she bought like this little popper. And I guess we thought it was like confetti. And it was like, it was powder. And it got all over here. But straight blue. Look better now. Like there's a little bit there. It was like all in her teeth and everything. That's hilarious. But we're going to go ahead and hop into this. And dunk the boat in the water. And see if we can catch some really big fish today. It is really windy. So I do apologize about that in advance. Hopefully it won't be too bad on the cameras. But let's go ahead and get this started. If you guys are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button. Hit the notification bell. Also hit the like button. You guys want to see some more 1V1 challenges with Tara. Let me know in the comment section down below. Let's get after it. All right, y'all. Let's get today started. I'm hoping they're going to bite. Last time I was here, I didn't get to post the video, but caught almost 80 fish on a swim bait. So we're about to see what's going to happen. I hope we're just going to slam them on top, buddy. You're good. By the way, I hope you guys like the American flag too. You know, we're all about that red, white, and blue here on Kicking their Bass. We got some new merch dropping very soon. Some America themed, some US themed merch. So stay on the lookout for that. Honestly, I want you to beat me today. But I don't think I can let you. All right, y'all. Just got out to the first spot. I am going to be starting off with the Mock Patroller. And this is by Mock Bates. If you guys want to check them out, you can find them on Mock-nation.com or you can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods. I'll have the link down below. And the Kicking their Bass combos, if you guys want to check these out, only available on Kickingtheirbass.com. I'll have the link down below as well. Thank you guys, everyone who's supported me with Kicking their Bass as far as the combos. Kicking their Bass X-Lews combos go. I really appreciate all y'all. But we're going to get this started. We're going to be fishing this deep grassline out here. We're sitting in about 14 to 15 foot and there's a bunch of thick hydrilla up here. So we're going to start off here with these plopper-style baits and see if we can get some fish to come up. I'm praying that they're going to eat top waters today, guys. It is a little bit later, 11 o'clock right now. We wanted to get out a little bit earlier, but it did start raining. So, but it might rain here in a little bit. So we're really going to have to hustle to catch these fish today. Let's see what we can do. Whoever catches the biggest one wins. So guys, the patroller that I'm using is actually all chrome. The one that Tara's using, let me see what you got. This one's like, I don't even know the name of this color, but it's got like a blue top and a white and chrome belly. So that one looks pretty good too. Are you ready? I'm ready. I am ready. I'm just... I hope that they're going to bite it. I'm praying that they're going to eat it. I'm going to eat the old top water. But how many fish I caught here last time I was here, guys? I would be just mind blowing if we don't end up catching them on this top water, but I don't know, we'll see. I will say the one thing I have seen on the graph is that the bait is a lot deeper than I would like it to be. You know, when you're throwing the top water or jerk bait or something at the top of the water column, you kind of want that bait to be pushed up towards the top. And right now it's not. This is like a shallower. Maybe we do need to go in shallower. That was the first cast up shallower. Oh my God. On the patroller. That was right as you threw it in. That was a nice one. Yeah, he hit it. Right, went out through it down. Okay. Maybe we'll get a few on top of it. That's a good one. He's not quite three, but he's almost three pounds. He's got a big head on him. You said it too. I know, it's like maybe we need to go up shallower. Sure enough, we slammed it. Maybe that's what we need to do. He dove over it like a freaking five pounder. I'm not gonna lie, I saw his big head. But he's bigger. Here's our first top water bass of the day. You want to put him in a liable? We'll get a picture. That was a good one. Two and a half. Can I get it? That's not bad one. We'll call him two and a half. I think he's a little over that, but we'll just call him two. Two and a half. I'm on board now girls. Here's your turn. Maybe they'll eat it. I'm just glad to see one bite. Oh, I got one. You got one? Yeah. Oh, nice. You got one way out there. There you go, girl. Yeah, honestly looks, it might be a little smaller than the one I caught. Might be just a little bit smaller. Good girl. Oh, barely hooked him. Oh yeah, you got him under the mouth too. Here, I'll get it for you. Nice. You choke it. He's not bigger than mine. He's not bigger than yours. Good job. Now you're on board. We book out one. Yeah, let's go. I got a fish. That was good. Now you caught him on that outer grass patch too. You caught him out here, didn't you? Maybe we're fishing a little too close. That was a big one. I'm gonna coast him in. His mouth's huge. His mouth is gigantic. Why do you look so big? Did he not? No, the mouth looks so big. I mean, the mouth is big on him. Maybe that's why. I mean, it's a solid two-pounder, but he looked four-bound. Yeah. Dang. There's our second fish. Yeah, he destroyed it. It sounded huge. There we go, guys. Third fish of the day on the patroller. I've caught two. Tara's got one. Nothing really giant yet, but. This one, I don't think is as big as my last one either. I think my first one was bigger. See, they got big heads and small bodies. Still like a two-pounder. Yeah. Yeah? Nice, girl. I will say he's not big, but he destroyed it. I got him on top of the head, and he ate me way out here. Gosh. That was a bite. Did you hear that? Yeah. This hooks are good, too, guys. That's one thing about the Mark Bates. Really great hooks on him. That's a smaller one. That was just about a pound. I'll throw him back. That was nice. We got four fish total. That ain't too bad, is it? Been out here for what? 30, 40 minutes? Four fish on top, or they're not too bad. I don't know if you guys can see in the distance. The rain is not looking good, guys. It's looking a little... Look at it, a little scary. Y'all, we got rained out, so we're going back out now. We literally parked the boat at the ramp and just ran up in the car for like the last, what, 30 minutes, maybe? And it actually just stopped raining. I mean, it's slight sprinkle. It's fine, though. So we're going to go out and try to play around for a little bit longer. I'm glad we caught the fish that we have. We've caught like four fish already, so that's sweet. But we're going to go out here for a little bit longer and see what we can do. It is looking a little nasty, but maybe we'll be able to come out here for just a little bit. I had a big catastrophe happen, too, which I'll show you. This, uh, this literally broke the... So we're kind of in a situation here. We had to like lay this down to hold the water. Yeah, did we? Oh, that's a big mess. All right, we'll see if we can do a couple. All right, guys, back at it. Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm so ready. All right, let's do it. Hey, maybe they'll bite really good. Sometimes they bite really good, I mean. I don't know how it is in Florida. We are on a Florida lake today, guys. Maybe they'll bite good. Maybe this brain turned them up. Either it turned it up or it turned them off. There's no in-between, so. Let's hope it turned them on and we can get on a few big ones real quick. That last bite we had. Oh, that's the biggest one today. Okay, they might be biting really good. That was what, second cast, Tara? Yeah, that might be bigger than any of them in the box. Nice. Get in there, girl. See, this one's actually filled out. He's a little thicker. I was just saying that last bite that we had was sweet and then that one was kind of the same way. Look at that, man. Maybe these fish are gonna bite because of this rain. That's a good one. Y'all, that is a good sign. All right, Tara, it is your turn. Oh no. I thought I reeled up my line in the trolling there. A bait that works really good in the rain is a buzzbait and it's similar action to this bait. Like it kind of kicks up water like that and that's like a bait that's just known to catch fish when it's raining outside. Like it's a gray bait when there's water on the water. Oh, oh, yes. Look at that. Oh, it's a freaking, that's the biggest one. That's the biggest one. Let's go. Get it, girl. Get it, girl. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's the biggest one. Can I help you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes, I needed him. I don't, oh, they're, they're so funny because their heads are so big. Yeah. And they're just like, their bodies are so skinny but I think he might be the biggest if not he tied the biggest. He's my biggest one today. Okay, job, girl. There's chairs, second fish of the day. Yeah, throw back in there. See if you can get another one. That's a good one too. I can't, I don't know. I can't tell if he's the biggest or if he might be just the second biggest. Or I mean, not second biggest. Tied with the biggest. We just need to come in on the spot a little bit more. That's literally it. He missed it a couple times, didn't he? Yeah. We're gonna change up from the patroller to a striking sexy dog. If you guys want to get a discount on any of the striking baits, I have a discount code in the link down below. But the last time me and Tara went out to have water fishing, not on this lake, it was on a different one but they were killing the sexy dog. Might be able to call up some bigger ones with that. So we're gonna try that. Cloudy out the bone color. So you either wanna go with that black or white or you wanna go with this. This is called bone. It's kind of like a, it's a white kind of tan. This bone color in the clouds. I mean, it's just, it's money. Money. You don't want that reflection. You know, that chrome when the sun's out is killer. When them clouds get out, they get this darker color on. More matte look. They munch it. You're watching it. That's scary. Here we go. First sexy dog bass. And surprisingly, it's smaller than anyone we caught today. I thought he was gonna be bigger. Look how fatty he is though. He got a little belly on him. Pretty fish. Sexy dog bass. He destroyed it though.
