 Yo what's poppin people welcome back to another episode of kicking their bass TV If you guys are new to the channel hit that subscribe button hit the notification bell Also with the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content today We got a crazy video for y'all You know we film all these fishing videos where we go out just catch some big fish throw some cool top waters They're big swim baits. They're big jigs worms, but today we're throwing something a lot different We're actually fishing with a bird. We fish with snakes rats Turtles go pros iPhones we fish with a ton of crazy stuff But today is gonna be the first day that we've ever fished with the bird So let me show you guys this lure real quick and we're gonna hop on the water see if we can catch some big fish We're actually bank fishing today, and I think they're gonna end up smunching it. So let's go ahead and get it started So this is the bird lure that we're using today. It has some black on it Also has a little bit of red and orange and this bait just looks kind of crazy It's got a little Mohawk action going on at the top of his head and I've never thrown anything like this I'm kind of excited about you know when we film these weird lure videos They can either be a lot of fun or they can be a pain in the butt, and you know you're throwing them for hours You don't really have any bites and it can be crazy But you know we're gonna give it a shot today tire on a rod and try to catch some fish by the way I got my boy Fletcher out here today. Let's go on guys trying to make it happen and another thing I wanted to say we're actually heading out to the Bassmaster Classic We leave tomorrow morning, and we're gonna be there in Fort Worth, Texas So make sure you come see us Friday through Sunday. We'll be at the expo. I want to come meet you guys I also have some merch I'm gonna be giving out And I would just love to meet a lot of you and shake your hand and talk some fishing So let's go ahead and hop into today's video got my rod and reel over here Let's tire up try to catch a big bass with old birdie So the rod and reel that we're using today. This is the Mach 2 rod on a Mach 2 reel I did that totally backwards Mach 2 rod on the Mach 2 reel We got some braid on this bad boy today, you know you got up through your top water on braids That's my favorite if you guys are wondering about this rod. This is actually the jerk bait Slash top water rod by Luz. It's a 6'8 medium power moderate fast action And I'm gonna be honest. I love this rod for top waters You can throw like smaller walking baits like poppers even some of these lures like this crazy crazy bird right here Which is not too heavy and I was gonna tell you guys too if you want to check out any of the lures I use in the videos or any of the rods and you want to get a discount I actually had the links in the description box down below with my codes I can also pop it up here on the screen Luz discount and strike king discount So if you guys are looking for the stuff that I'm using we have links for you now We're gonna tie this lure up real quick and get it started I'm just hoping we get a really good one on it today because we're wondering about the conditions It's actually overcast and a lot of clouds in the sky. It was raining a little bit this morning I think these fish are going to be roaming really good, you know, we filmed A top water episode out here last week, which if you haven't checked it out I highly suggest you go check it out. It was wild, but we had similar conditions So I'm hoping today is very similar to that day. We just end up getting a couple really good fish on this bird But that's her tied up. She's ready to go. I'm not too proud of real. Let's get it started All right. So this is the pond that we're out at today. Very clear water Beautiful little spot. They're not super easy to catch out here So I'm hoping we can get them on this bird. It's just one of those lures. That's like I would never go out of my way to throw. I'm gonna be honest with you But today, you know, we're gonna get a little crazy with it and give her a shot So how this pond lays out? It's really shallow super shallow across the whole thing I think these bass are gonna be roaming a good bit But one spot I really wanted to try is right over here in this corner. You got this tiny corner There's a few trees out here in the middle Then you also got this bank line right here with all these lay downs They used to be more lay downs along that bank, but they ended up cutting them down But we still have this corner. So we're gonna go over here toss this thing around See if we can get our first fish. I have no idea how to work this bait. I don't even know how it I don't even know what it does. So let's throw it in the water real quick Give her a little toss Oh, look at that Okay, I like that. So it looks like when this thing gets in the water I didn't know if you like kind of walked it or if you just reeled it But if you slowly reel this bait, if you reel it too fast, it's not gonna work What happens is it kind of like jitters like this across the top of the water These little flaps right here. They start digging in the water like that So you got to reel it a little slow and that's what gives it all the action Yeah, that thing kind of looks crazy It's like I can't cat. It's like it doesn't cast accurately at all Yeah, there we go. Ah, that's what I'm talking about Oh my gosh, I got one hit it right away And it's messed up Ah, look at that That's not what you want It's kind of funny watching this thing come in. It's like it's swimming in the water. It's got some big strokes It's really hard to cast. Let's see if he eats it this time The bird's butt is literally in the air and it's still swimming somehow What is going on? All right. Well One thing I've learned very quick it's hard to cast and the hooks keep getting tangled up There we go. That's what I'm talking about. I'm just ready to get bite We had one kind of swirl on it, but I just want to see one just boom demolish it Look at that gator. Oh my god. That was a bass Dude, they're scoring. No braid Dude Oh my gosh, that was so cool Oh, that was so cool On the bird lure. Are you kidding me? And I had to work it a lot different right there So we just saw this gator on the bank I was like kind of looking at the gator all of a sudden like Five foot next to the gator. There was these bass chasing up some baitfish I threw that bird right there all of a sudden my braid like kind of messed up Pulled my braid out a few pumps And popped this thing one time and he just demolished it not a big fish By any means, but to catch our first fish on the bird lure. That is just awesome right there Little fat dude pretty colors on them too Thank you, buddy. You're our first burger fish. Here he is. Let him swim another day There he goes Wow, what do you think about that? Cody? I've never seen a fish caught on a bird before dude. That was that was the first That was the whole situation dude when we saw that blow up over there It was and we've been talking about you know, I've been reeling that thing slow I didn't even do that right there. I threw it up there. I had to mess with my reel Just give it a little pop So today with the clouds out, you know these bass are roaming a good bit We're gonna walk down this bank be very stealthy and see if we see anything with their eyes Old gator old gator wants some some bird wants an old bird Oh my god, he's right there. He's right there. Dang it He's right there in front of me. Oh, he was right there No Not today. You're not getting my birdie Not my birdie I'm gonna get a cast in this corner alligator before he gets over here That gator is bound and determined No Go over there trying to distract this gator. Stop it you weirdo I think we're gonna end up heading to a new spot that gator. He's just so angry He really wants to eat the bird So we're gonna move ponds here in a moment and see if we can go catch some over there We just can't do anything with that gator There's no point in me casting because he just runs right over to the bait So let's go ahead and head out to the new spot. So we were at pond number two We're fueled up by our uh chocolate chip muffins. So we're good to go By the way, we're leaving out tomorrow morning. So kody you got to remind me You got to stock up on at least 20 packs of those muffins. All right I'll call them later and make sure the only way we're going to be hyped for the classic Yeah, it's that muffin energy dude last time we were here The frog fishing was unreal. This is actually a little golf course pond The last one wasn't but this is a golf course pond. It's pretty good. There's a lot of fishing here But then again, there can't be days where you come out here and they're just not biting So I'm hoping they eat really good. We got a little bit of wind When we walked down in this corner last time there were so many fish and we started smoking them So we're going to start right here They're a little bit along this bank then we're going to walk to the back And I think that's where we're going to put a herding on by the way I don't have the best shoes on today. I busted my butt last time kody if you want to roll that clip It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun when gators aren't trying to eat your fish Dude, I They lubed up this grass, bro We can't be doing that today. I don't want to hurt my booze. Oh my gosh money Money Oh, that's a good one too, dude. That's not a bad fish Not a bad fish at all came open slam that sucker Oh Oh man, that's such a pretty fish too. Look at this fish's markings on that bird lure. Look at that You got to love it. You cannot beat that right there catching a bass on a bird I woke up this morning and I'm going to tell you guys I was not thinking about throwing a bird lure But flutcher had one laying around and I was like, you know what? Let's try something out of the norm today. And let me tell you that's a lot of fun right there beautiful fish It's a little bit of something hanging out of his booty But rather than that his markings are beautiful on this bass pretty colors on them awesome lateral line Nice little fish trying not to fall this time. Oh my gosh. My knee is actually hurt too about just way ahead first That's a pretty fish Second fish today on the bird that's surprising. So we're going to keep on heading down here And I think we're going to get a couple more bites in the back This fish might be stacked up today. Oh my gosh Yes Should be one in this corner. It looks so good. Oh my gosh. You destroyed it. That was such a cool bite Not big Not big, but he freaking demolished that thing Wow, that was the best bite yet You've got to love topwater fishing even when you're fishing with a bird. You got to love it You know, it's crazy. The last two fish were hooked in the same spot right there The hookup ratio seems to be pretty good I'm impressed because when you throw like weird baits like that, the biggest thing is, you know Yeah, you can get bites But can you actually get the hook in them? And I think so far we've had three good bites And I caught all the fish hooked them pretty good Not a big one, but that's something else Thank you, bub Come on big bass Destroy it cute They are munching this thing It's honestly so crazy to me. You're not going to believe this too third fish in a row He's hooked in the same spot That's so weird. The front hook just ends up getting them right there in that bottom lip and look how fat that dude is. Holy cow I can't believe how Good they're eating this thing to be honest with you. They're eating it better than the frog when I came out that day That's not a big one at all, but he's super fat. Well fat dude get a fat belly See you later, buddy All right bird lure you're catching a lot of fish for me But you need to catch me a big one So I like pulled my bait in it wasn't working right and one of the legs were gone So I just had to pluck the other one off It's just a little a little tiny leg. It just wasn't it wasn't shaking anymore It was just kind of gliding across the top. I'm telling you just because that one leg on that side It wasn't balanced out. So hopefully to ride. Okay now that I took both those off You know that one leg came off. I took the other one off I thought it was going to ride right because technically, you know I thought it was because it might have been way to heavier on that one side But I took both those legs off and it won't even ride anymore It's pretty much just gliding across the water like this You know before it was kind of shaking like that in the water now. It's just gliding across So what we're going to have to do we only have one of those legs The other one's probably in the pond somewhere or in the fish's belly So what we're going to have to do is kind of pop this thing like a little popping frog kind of twitch it a little bit That's the only way we're going to be able to get any more bites. So That sucks, but when you film these challenges, you know things happen. You got to adjust So let's see if we can catch some down here popping it Try to eat it Man, I know there's got to be some schooled up back here They usually are Oh, that was awesome. That's a good one too. That's the best one yet Oh my gosh Not a bad one I guess we can still catch them without it wobbling like that I just popped that bait. I'm gonna tell you it's really helping us today because I'm gonna be honest if we were at On any normal day today I don't think they would be eating this bird as well as they are I think this wind in this pond is really helping these fish Eat this bait because you know, let's let's be honest here That bait right there isn't gonna catch. Oh my god Look what happened, bro The wing the wing came off Oh my gosh His other flapper came off all right They're just making it harder and harder on us Well, there is the fifth fish today And that was just popping the bait now. We're in for a whole another herding. We've lost the leg I had to amputate a leg and then we lost the wing. So I'm not taking the wing off though. I don't think that's a good idea, but that's a nice fish We're gonna figure out what we're gonna have to do with that There he is. Thank you bud. Even though you messed up my bait a little twinkie Maybe my wing is over here Let me see if my wing Is my wing over here? I do not see my wing. Oh my gosh Cody, what do I do? I just gotta keep throwing it. I think I gotta keep throwing it the way it is Oh Yeah, dude, I saw it. I was like looking at the bait and I'm like, dude, that thing looks a little weird I'm like, what happened to it now and the whole wing's gone I didn't notice the wing being going up fresh. I thought you were gonna be like, look what happened the other leg's back I wish Oh man, dude, that stinks. It can't be just destroying this bait like that, man You know, this is kind of like a review too. I mean Fletcher, this is Fletcher's bird and he's filmed a video on this before so You know, I can't give it too much of a hurting but I mean, I haven't been throwing it that long. We've caught five fish on it and it's already It's just getting busted up by the minute I don't know. Let's keep on working in this corner. I think there's some more fish where that one was You know, when we find these fish in this pond, especially on cloudy days today, they tend to stack up There's usually a lot of fish in this corner because you have all this wind pushing up in here So we might be able to get a few more bites. Oh, yeah, there we go Finally There we go Finally got one on the one-winged wonder. Look at that Not a bad fish Took us a second. I'm telling you this is like Not looking good as far as the bait going through the water. It just does not look natural at all Which I mean, it's not really specific natural depending on depending on what you're trying to imitate You know, really when you're throwing like a fluke or even a frog or any other top water You're trying to imitate like an injured bait fish. So We're imitating an injured bird. That's all we're doing Pretty bass We're gonna see if we can catch one more on this bad boy Nice Thank you bud. Thank you so much Took us a second to get one to bite that one-winged bird There goes. You never fish with a chicken pover? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about Oh Yes That's what we're talking about. That's a good fish too Demolished that bird we got that perfect cast on that thing right there on that little point Then she got me All right, buddy, let me just get you off the hook I'm gonna get this bird out of your face Look at that One-winged wonder Yay you That's a good fish really long Skinny but a long fish. He's right there on that little tiny grassy point And he smunched that thing Pretty guy Well, there we go. Nice little blow up. That's our second fish on the injured bird It's taking us a minute to get those bites, but we're still catching some fish on it. So you can't complain Thank you, buddy There goes. Well guys, we are ending off the day But before we end this video one, I want to ask you guys something What do you guys want to see me fish with next? I kind of want to start a series on the channel where we just go fishing with weird lures Drop a comment down below if you guys want me to do some more crazy videos like this Just fishing with some weird baits and trying to go catch fish on them Let me know down below on what bait I should use next, you know, you've done the snake We've done the rat. We've done the turtle, but that was like two or three years ago So if you guys want to see like a newly updated version of this video Let me know down below as well hit the like button Let your boy know and secondly, I kind of want to talk about this bait right here. Give my honest opinion You know, this is my first time ever fishing with the bird lure As far as the action before we started breaking everything on it It actually was pretty good, man It had this nice little tight wobble and right here these little wings were banging off of this little metal piece It was making this nice little clacking noise in the water and it attracted those fish over But all of a sudden, you know, this bait ended up breaking, you know We ended up breaking one of the legs off had to pluck the other one off And then we ended up breaking another one of the wings So I wanted to say it's the most durable bait ever But I was actually impressed with the action and more importantly I was impressed that it caught so many fish on this bait. I'm gonna be honest I did not expect to come out on the water today and catch over five fish on this bait I think we ended up catching seven or eight, which is just honestly crazy on a bird lure Especially a lure that color. It's just a weird color to throw. I mean black with some orange on it I mean, yeah, it makes a little bit of sense for the bird with the orange But as far as fishing lures go usually don't throw those colors But if you guys enjoyed this video hit that like button drop your comments down below Let me know what you guys want to see next and I will catch you guys in the next episode of kicking their best
