It's extra small line. It's tiny whippy rods It's competition father son. It's all goodness guys. So let's just roll right into it Any fishing day is to go find some fish Let's go get on them because we've been catching these smallmouth this week have been around islands backs of These pockets that have boulders. They have transition banks that have some pea gravel on them some fish are spawning Some are just feeding up, but the main thing is On these top waters, it's a lot of fun But you got to pause them for a little bit and they're kind of territorial to come up and smack it We're using these yamper rivers You basically can't do anything with a one pound smallmouth So a three pound smallmouth is going to be very interesting. You're going to catch bigger fish than I am Wow up until the last one. Oh, well, you only need that one. It's all about the one today I'm giving dad just a fair chance. Maybe everybody gets lucky one time in their lives Could be the key to winning or losing right here. This is a rod can't set the hook too well So looks have got to be sharp Playing on winning this sucker. Yeah, you know, I ate the worm last year and I'm not doing that again How was that can you give us a recall of that worm action? Well, you know, the worm was First of all, it was about that long and it was a big meaty worms the kind of use up here walleye fishing and It was it was kind of muscular, you know, it's it was not, you know, juicy and soft Not something you want to do again. No, no, no, I'm not eating it again I thought about it for about a month and I don't want to do it again. I think dad's a little scared I think dad is scared. He's gonna have to eat that worm again. We're not gonna do the worm guys We did it last year. So we got to come up with something different. What's something very Canadian? Geese here's what we're gonna do cold hard cash 50 bones. I need 50 dollars Because you're in your 50s. That's why we're doing 50. Or are you 60 now? I'm in my 50s It is Father's Day week and I just want to say happy Father's Day to dad before we get into serious competition And I kick your butt. I just want to say happy Father's Day. I'm glad we're here doing this. It's a good tradition It is a good tradition. Thank you. And I'm gonna kick your butt this year and you're gonna give me 50 bucks Okay, let's see what happens This is the other challenge is casting these things. Yeah, have you? I've been practicing my whole life I've been practicing since I was three Just for this moment It's kind of important with four pound test Got him. He's got me in the reeds Come on out of there. It's a little tiny one. The heck you talking about He's not tiny. He hasn't even grown a sack yet. He's look at him I'm gonna catch a 19 Oh came off came off man can't even land a tiny one Just such a promising start. Well, look at these massive hooks. I mean, you know, I just called just called angling You gotta see the angles in attack Get used to it at least I had the Tug of the line get on the scoreboard It's a loser mentality. No, it's not Well, you just get sifted got one. Yep. Come to papa Yeah, literally Yep. Yeah, come to daddy Come on now The problem here is it's another little one. It's yeah, he's a little but They're not easy to get in with these rods. Can he do it? Always got the line on the side of the boat. It's got his line all twisted. This is where angling is key Yeah, you landed one. That's good You got to put it on the board. It might be a good 13 incher Is that your strategy? Just try to go for mediocrity Oh, gosh. Oh, that was a big in there Oh, he's gonna come back and smack it. Tell you what this fish right here is definitely gonna beat that one you got We'll see Time to measure up. Oh, yeah, I got a witness with you because Oh, I got mine He's 14. All right I didn't see it, but I'll I'll just trust you I got a little one. I'll take it though Come on now. Gotta have my first one. It's taking a long time. Oh, sure It's a strategy thing. I'm not just gonna Come up here and lip these suckers Okay, he moved into the lead He is going to be 13 and a half Yeah Got one under it. Good one He's gonna suck it You son of a don't hit me hitting my rod either No, you're not That one just tried to eat my line I'm gonna win this game. You got one on yours It's not as big Oh god, it is a big one. Actually Maybe if I just oh my god, he's got it No Yeah No Yes Did you see how long it took him? Oh god, it's a big one It's a big one. Oh no He came off Oh no Yes, oh, yeah Oh, yeah, that was a that was a toad I thought I had him when he came up and he stayed on Sorry about you Oh my gosh Oh, that one came off too Geez Oh my gosh Yeah, as exciting as that was I mean, it's to be expected when you're throwing this setup It's sitting the hook. It's really the That's the hard part It's like how do you set the hook? Oh, I've got a swearly Maybe it's just sitting there. I'm not doing anything I came off couldn't get a hook set Keep talking had it down like charlie brad That is small Yeah, that's like Think he's a 15 Starting to get into those Nice juicy boulders There's like a certain depth when you see one you just know Oh, that's that's gonna have one be a lead changer Not sure What is it? What's the exact? 14 that sounds like a round up to me ate it like a champion No, he ain't gonna take the lead 13 and a half not gonna do it Had one chasing it. Oh, there's another one right there just saw him Oh, yeah, no, they're all biggings. Oh, he broke me off I had to try to set the hook. Oh, I still got the lure the lure's still there. I was like, I'm tired of Seeing these three pounders eat it and not catching them. I never saw you measure your fish And I know how you like to measure them. So I did measure him now Are you are you calling foul on your dad? Maverick a little smally just just like a 16 What do it's their jaw pressure? That's the problem. They get their chompers on it and then You can't penetrate the hook into it. Watch out This might be the one This could be the one Oh, that's a good one Don't jump. Don't do it Look at it. Look what he's spitting up. That's a doozy Don't you jump. Come here, baby Four pound test This is a crucial moment. You ready for this? See what it is I think it's a 16 It's almost a 17 that is uh 16 and three quarters right there. It's bleeding a little bit so i'll Let it go Okay, you got to beat 16 now See you dude. Oh gosh. I mean that wasn't a big one but on this stuff. Yeah on this it's like, oh man He just had to they just have to eat it. Oh, there's another one on it. Oh my gosh It's been a stiff competition The tables have turned on old LFD 16 and three quarter inches guys. Let me tell you that is not an easy fish to get in on that Yampa river at least a dozen bites good bites I know that are two and a half three pounders That I haven't been able to hook some have been upwards of four that I just cannot get the hook in them They shut their mouths down on it. And so there's that delicate balance. That's why it's a challenge Ultra light challenge. We got to put a time limit on this should we do it when whenever Ted Ted and drake and steve whenever they come over and times up The other thing that's super challenging is the wind The wind trying to throw these micro poppers or little hula poppers Is very difficult. We're going to aluminum boat trying to cast it I was more pumped when I caught that one than I was than any of other other ones here because I just enjoy beating you dad Well, it's good. You haven't beaten me yet Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, no Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Oh gosh Oh, no Oh, that's a good one. No I feel like I should be casting So I might need I might need Oh, I got one. I got one too Oh, yeah, we're doubled We're doubled. I think mine's bigger Mine's bigger Look at mine Oh my gosh It's part of the challenge You have to adapt and overcome Oh Come here I need you little fish. Yes Yes Okay doubled up First of all, awesome that we both got that at the same time Micro poppers mine's definitely bigger. Yours is bigger They choked them too. They did leave that was so fun. I know Did you see my jump jump jump? I mean, it's unbelievable. Okay, put it on the board. Let's see what it is 15.1 I'll give you 15 and a half. You got to pinch the tail That's a great fish It's not going to beat this one That's a 17 17 and a half On the micropops All right, we got to get a release on these guys Yep, dad. I don't think it's going to cut the mustard for you But hey, good job. Let's get back in there I think that might be the game winner right there though See you, baby I'm going to get one. They have to it's not over. That's right. They're by Not over. I thought mine was bigger, but yours was because you like to exaggerate a little bit I had boat shrinkage. You had boat shrinkage. That's right. It's not that I'm trying to tell a story It's I just think they're bigger goodness a prime looking spot. My goodness This is it. They're out here behind me. Just wave them off LFT LFT just got beat That's it. Oh That's it defeat. You were the the ending bail. In other words, when you spoke you were the ending bail We duked it out hard. I must uh pay homage And pay money. I guess that's right. Don't worry about the homage Where about that 50 bucks as a nice father son gesture at when my dad went to pay me I gave him the money right back. Why because he's my dad got me into fishing. He's awesome It was the right thing to do and even though we didn't catch any giant small mouth They were still nice quality small mouth. It was a huge fight on that tiny little rod. That's what made today so fun Such a great challenge. Let me know in the comments what you would want to see in another challenge video What type of tackle louvers, etc It could be anything guys.
