 Today we're fishing a trophy pond that's loaded with giant bass. We've caught multiple trophy bass out of here before, so we had to come back out and hunt for these giants. And boy, did we find what we were looking for. Oh, she's choking, oh, that's a monster. Oh, my gosh, there's another one, oh my gosh, dude. We made it out at the beautiful trophy pond. It's been a while since we've been here. It's probably been a year. I've been out here many of times, caught a ton of trophy bass out of here, including a 10 pounder. And today we're gonna be on the hunt for these trophy bass. I'm actually starting off with a poppin' frog. It's a little windy for it right now, but I'm gonna see if I can catch one on top or right off the rip. I got it paired up on my Kicking Their Bass TV X-Lews baitcaster combo. If you guys wanna check out any of the baitcasters or spinning combos by Kicking Their Bass, you can check them out, KickingTheBass.com. It'll be linked down below. Well, let's go ahead and get this started and see if we can catch some trophy fish. I think today's gonna be insane. Before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed. So if you could, take the time. Hit the subscribe button. Really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. Look at all the grass in that corner. That's money for a frog, dude. Guys, it is extremely windy. You can almost see, or you can see, some of the old beds that are sitting here on this bank. It's probably not gonna be the best for this frog, but I just wanna see if we can catch one on it. Off the rip, you know, frog fishing is just so much fun. There's actually a lot of grass up within this corner. It's so perfect for this frog. It's a little protected, too. Oh, look at that. That slop is so thick. Not the best for a poppin' frog. If I had a normal frog on it, it would go a little easier through it. I could see a giant just exploding through this grass. Looks so good. Come on, Big Bass. Let's give this video started, man. Let's get started with the big and some big bass in here. We just gotta catch them. This grass is so thick, that bass is gonna go insane to get through this. It is way too windy for this frog. We need to put some of those on, way too windy. So as bad as I wanna put a chatterdunk on, I think I'm gonna throw a jerk bait. So this frog's gonna retire for right now. Maybe as it gets later in the day, it might get a little less windy. We got this Strike King jerk bait on. I'm gonna give this a shot. Jerk bait in the wind is money. We know that. Might get on a nasty bite with this thing. I was feeling it when I was leaving the house. I'm like, I kinda wanna bring a jerk bait up. Come on, Big Bass. Crazy story, the biggest fish I've caught out of this pond was on this same exact Strike King jerk bait. Ten yonder pounders, same one. That's the river one I usually use. So I have a little love for this jerk bait out of this pond. We catch a dang, that one that big. Again, I'm gonna be flipping out, boys. We got a scale with us today. We're all prepared and ready. All right guys, I had to go back to the chatterdunk. Just confidence bait, big fish bait. We're gonna see what happens with this. I feel like it's gonna be a little quick on the bites. I would hope so. There's a hole right there. That blade is not wanting to cut through any of these mats. So we're actually gonna tie on a metal-bladed one. Noah is throwing, I think it's chartreuse colors. I'm actually gonna tie on this black and blue and see what kind of damage we can do with this thing. It's usually a really good spot right by this pipe. I got one on my first cast. Oh, oh, he's in the grass, I got him. Heck yeah, boys. All right, calm down, buddy. I wanna get you back in the water. Let's freaking go, boys. First fish of the day, not a big one, about a two pounder. We'll take them. Heck yeah, what a start. Took us a second to get a bite. Came over here by the pipe, first cast. Got on board, baby. Thank you, buddy. He's wanting to jump up. There we go. I'm about to say, he's jumping all over the place. I'll put him in the water, he stays still. That's a start, guys. Let's get it. All right, guys, we got started off with something, not the big one that we're looking for, but we got something. Let's see if we can get us another one. That was our first cast right in front of this pipe. It's a good little sign. Oh, there's another one out here that a bite. Somehow get the ball moving, get the ball rolling. Start catching a lot of fish. It is your time to bite. I'm just hitting my line, dude. What in the world? I just got hit right after that, too. Something came up literally to hit my line at the top of the water. This is not the good grass you wanna fish, too. This is just nasty slop. Lot of stuff you definitely want on your bait. We're fishing like high-drillers on this chatter, baby. Popping all through that. I think it's that nasty gook on it, just will not cut through that slime. Oh, ooh, giant, giant, giant. Giant. Oh my gosh, here we go, boys. I can't tell how big she is. I know she's freaking big. Oh, she ain't even freaking that. I mean, she's a three and a half pounder, but I thought she was at least four. Look at that, baby. Good three pounder. I'll take her. She felt freaking massive, but that's a pretty fish, nonetheless, beautiful one. Caught her right here in this wind, bunch of grass right here. Pretty bass. All right, we're getting a step closer, boys. Getting a step in the right direction. Caught us a little one, two pounder to start off, then got us one about three. I just wanna keep climbing the ranks and see if we can get us a four or five pounder that may be upgrade all the way up to 10. Just imagine. This grass is just freaking toxic. This is not grass that your chatterbait can even cut through. Like once you hit it, it's done. It's kind of annoying, to be honest. Oh my gosh, that bite. That bite was crazy, dude. That actually spooked me. That was the weirdest little chatterdunk bite. I don't know, it didn't like feel big. I felt like a small one was biting her, even like a bluegill was just going crazy on the tail. That was so weird, man. This was going crazy. Why? Oh, fish. That might be a good one, I can't tell. Come on, we're locked in. Oh, get up here, get up here. Yeah, let's go. Might've taken me a minute there, but hey, we're getting them figured out. All right guys, we got us a beautiful little bash right there. Working that chatterbait kinda slowly and a little bit more towards the bottom. Finally got this guy to come eat. Thank you, buddy. What was that? Oh my gosh, back to back, that's a giant. Oh, oh my gosh, back to back. They're out there in the middle. Guys, I think Connor has a freaking bag up. We're gonna go help him out. That is a giant. Oh my gosh, get up here. Oh, it's in the corner of his mouth. Look at that fish. Look at this, guys. I had to flip him. Dude, that's a mega, that's at least a five. Dude, that's a freaking tank. I had that small one eat me, and then I threw it right back in that same spot, and this guy was out there. Oh, we're over five. Yeah, 5.18, almost a 5.2. All right, dude. Thank you, bro. Maybe they're stacked out there, bro. I know, dude, I think they are. I've been thinking about it this whole time. Thank you, buddy. Other friends to come eat. There he goes. All right, dude. Yeah, dude, that's slick. Well, there we go. We got a five, a 5.2. Can we beat that today? Can we get another big one? Guess there's only one way to find out. Let's get back in the water. So, guys, Connor found the little spot out there that's deep. I've been thinking about it all day. I gotta go try it. Getting the liquid crankbait out there in the middle. All that drop off and ripping it up. I think we can catch some freaking monsters. Interesting enough, I'm feeling this. I'm feeling the red one. If they're not biting the red, I can always put on a natural, but I don't know. I'm kind of feeling, I'm feeling that red two-tap I'm striking. I kind of go with my gut, man. Sometimes I'm like, you know what? This red, this water's a little more stained out here. This should get smoked out there in the middle, especially with that deeper water. So I'm gonna rip this up that edge and we should be in good use. All right, guys, I got this two-tap on. Let's try it out here. So, the way I'm gonna work is I'm gonna throw it out as far as I can. Straight beam. We're gonna let it sink to the bottom. Now I'm gonna reel it up and kind of rip it a couple of times. Let it sink back to the bottom, reel my slack back up, rip it a couple of times. And keep repeating the process. Oh, and you'll get smoked just like that. We should have a, oh, he messed my bait up. Oh, dude. Yeah, he absolutely cranked it up. Oh, man. Yeah, this is about to be dangerous on that drop off. Golly. It's about to be a sleigh fest, boys. Just like what I said before, letting it sink, ripping it. What's that? Bro, bro, bro, bro, Conner, Conner. Oh, I couldn't even move that fish, bro. I literally couldn't even move it. He's just running at me. Dude, second cast on the two-tap on the drop off. Oh, God. Oh, yeah, baby. Not as big as Conner's Giant, but definitely our biggest today, solid three pounder. It's a great fish. He straight up clobbered this bait. That was actually a sick bite. But then being that trap on the fall, it feels so good. I leaned up, I couldn't even move this fish. He felt a lot bigger than what he actually is, but that's still a solid close, three and a quarter. Holy cow. Give her a little toss right here in the water. We're on a steep, full drop. Thank you, baby. There she goes. Heck yeah. Wait, that might be a maggot. What is that? What do I have? They got foul hooked him. I don't know. I must be getting like a little prematurely excited because these fish have been barely hooked. There's another really good bass for us. So I'm pretty excited about that. Let's get this guy back in the water. Thank you, buddy. All right guys, we're meeting business. The dang red two-tap. We didn't know if this color was going to work, but two casts in, we're getting destroyed, or three casts in. My second cast, I got hit. So like I said, again, just throwing out, letting it sink, letting it hit that bottom, and then we're going to rip it up this drop off. There's going to be so many guys out there. I'm hoping we hook a dang 10 guys. I know there's some biggings out there. The most satisfying bite, ripping this trap. Someone just freaking load up on it. Come on, biggings. Oh, what's up, man? I can't even move them. I can't even move them. Oh my God. Oh yeah, it's a biggin. Oh dude, he had it right on the fall. I beamed it way out there. Can't tell how big this fish is. This is definitely a biggin. I might have them hooked weird. Oh, it's a nice one, over 30 pounds. Come on, 30 pounder. I'll take them all freaking day. This fish smoked it for the bait. He even hit the bottom. Look at that two tap hanging out of the side of his face. You, sir, bit it so aggressively. Thank you for the bite. Freakin' awesome, guys. We're finally getting them on the trap here. This is something that's working for us, not a giant. Nice fish. Still not the big one we're after. Grunt back out there. I could beat this freaking trap a country mile, guys. This is insane. I'm getting my bait way out there. I like reeled up. I already felt them on there. That was insane. Right on the fall. That's why it's so good to work this trap, how I'm working it, where I'm ripping it and letting it fall. It'll usually just crush it right when that thing starts falling. So actually where I caught that dang double digit, it's right here. I was beaming out in the middle except I had a jerk bait on. So this trap straight up freak of nature. I couldn't imagine with how these dang three pounders are feeling when you lean up into them out there on this trap. I couldn't even imagine one over a dang seven, eight pounds. We talk about pulling. I can't even pull these dang three pounders with how far I'm hooking them. I'm hooking them way out there in the middle. Just feels like you're hooked into a stump that's moving. That's all it feels like. It's crazy. This fish feels crazy, but I don't know if it feels big. But these fish have been deceiving today. Oh my gosh. You won't believe it. I caught a dang catfish. I just caught a freaking catfish on the two tap. Look at the colors on that puppy. Oh, on that kitty. My bad, dude, my bad. Oh my goodness. We might need pliers to dish them. Well, I guess this is the first for everything. I thought that thing felt so weird. I didn't know if he was big or small or what. Just felt kind of awkward. Let's see Connor's reaction. Sick, big catfish? Yeah. On the trap? What in the world? Isn't that crazy? I have never seen that before. Yeah, I did not think I was going to be touching a catfish today on a rattle trap. Oh, dang it. Okay. Go buddy, go. You're almost to the water. Go. Go. A little bit more horsepower. I need help with you. Well, guys, that was interesting. What I never thought I was going to catch a dang catfish on the two-tap today. Good thing Connor brought my pliers over because that puppy or that kitty cat bent out my dang hook. I'm talking like pretty bad, man. I don't even know that it's fixable. That should be good. Just definitely not perfect. Better than nothing. All right. See if we can get some proficient biting. Preferably not a catfish. That is not what we're fishing for either. What in the world did I just catch? I caught a rope. I have caught just about everything you can catch between tree pounders, between some nice bass, between a catfish, and now a rope with, I don't even know what that is on the end of it. Now we got to figure this out. Oop, that was easy. We're going to leave that right there. I definitely don't want to put that back in the water. All right, guys, this lipless right here was putting in some work, but some's just telling me to throw more of like a natural sexy shag color. And I got this sexy shag one with a little bit of chrome on it. It's not that it's super sunny today. It's just one of the only naturals I have. And it does have a little sun peeking through. So maybe that's the go. We're going to tie this up and see if we can get more bites and get them choking this thing. And that would be like, oh, we know they eat that color better. Here goes nothing. Chrome sexy shag. Two tap on a kicking combo. Maybe we'll eat this color better. Come on, big bass, just slam this thing. I want to see a dang 10 pounder. I know they're in here. Come on. Ooh, I just got hit. Totally slapped it. That was a bite. Come on, baby. Come on, baby, eat it. They're just slapping it. I don't know that red color, guys. Might have been it. Maybe the red was the go. If we get a couple more bites on this, I might need to switch back to that red. So to determine pretty much if they're going to eat a color better than another, one thing I pay attention to is pretty much the swings and misses, you know. Sometimes if they don't really want a color, they might just kind of swipe at it. They won't really eat it. And you can still catch them on it. You know, they just might not be smoking it. That red might have been the go. I mean, if I get one or two more bites that they're just not eating it, we're definitely going to switch back. Dude, he was at the top of the water. He came all. My bait hit the water. And I guess he just ate it instantly. When I hook said, dude, he was already at the top of the water. You see that? What in the world? Well, that's another swing and a miss. I mean, maybe that was just a freak accident. He ate it. I mean, my bait hit the water. He must have just had it right away. The weirdest thing is like 10 foot out there, guys. I hook said he's already just jumping. All right, what? Got to be a stack of them. I'm just waiting on the angle, dude. I'm changing up my angle. I'm just waiting. Dude, he about took the rod. He messed up my trap, bro. Oh, look, it's not even vibrated. He knocked it so hard. Oh man, guys, I don't know. Should we switch to the red? Let me throw back in here. Oh dude. I mean, they're just not eating this color. I'm getting bites. I'm just, I don't know. I'm feeling frisky. I'm going to try this one. Totally different color. I have an odd feeling this is the bait. This is the one. I'm hoping this wind's just going to calm down a little bit over the next 30 minutes. It's definitely calmed down a fraction of what it was. Dude, that dang crush pile again. Yeah, it snapped. I have tied on so many traps, I'm about to get sick. So guys, we're going to walk down to this corner. The wind's kind of calming down a little bit. I've been on the other side just for y'all's sake because, and that wind is super ridiculous. It just sounds horrible. So I've been trying to hide from the wind, but I'm going to go fish this corner. We got all this wind blowing up in here. It's going to blow all the bait fish, all these bass are going to be staged up. This is the money spot to be fishing right now. Like I said, I was just kind of ignoring it because the dang wind was brutal. It's about half of what it was before, if that. So I'll see if we can get some bites over here. It makes sense that they would be in this corner. Pretty sure I saw a dang bass fricking twirl right here. I'm not seeing things. What did I just witness? Oh, I just got absolutely fricking swamped. Haven't had a bite in like 45 minutes. We come to the side where it's pushing wind up in this corner and an instant bite. Crazy how you got to pay attention to them little details while fishing guys, it'll change your day. So it makes fishing, fishing though. Always different, it's changing by the conditions, changing by the hour. It's got to pay attention and adjust when you're not getting bites. I just got drilled again. There we go. We're on right away, didn't even move it. Oh, that's a giant, giant. Oh my gosh. Here we go. Here we go, boys. That bait didn't even fricking hit the bottom. This fish is big. I don't know how big, but I can barely turn it, we're gonna walk down. Oh, that's a monster. That's a fricking tank, guys. Here we go, this is my big fish. This is my big fish. I don't know if she's bigger than Connor's. Oh, she choked it. Oh, that's a five pounder all day. Let's fricking go, dude. Me and Connor both got one. And I want you to look at how she choked the Strike King two tap. Look at how she choked that fricking thing. Oh my goodness. Boys, that is an absolute brute. Dang, she's gonna be close. She, I think she's four or something. I don't think she's five. I'm getting a good solid look at her. She's a fricking good one now. What a fricking bass. At least we got a big one, boys. And this might be the start of a fricking slave fast. I thought Connor was grabbing the scale, but I guess he's not. We'll just get a release on her. That's definitely a four and a half pounder right there. How thick that belly is. Thank you for biting, baby. That was just an awesome bite too. And to see how she ate that trap was so promising. I think they're gonna eat that color pretty good once we get in front of them. Fingers crossed, guys. We might've just found the stack of them. It's insane because Connor's big fish had it before his bait even hit the bottom. My big fish had it before my bait even hit the bottom. And I also lost that one fish that he had it before the bait even hit the bottom. So maybe we're on to some. Even big ones are hanging up closer, which is very interesting. There's gotta be more than one out there. Let's make some cast out in this zone and see if we can get them fired up. So I think there's a flat right out here. And right on the left side is when it tends to start dropping off. I wanna say I hook that fish right there. And I feel like that's about where that flat is starting to drop off. And I think that's where they're sitting. Let's see if we're correct here. Should get swamped. Definitely more than just that four pounder sitting out there. I can tell you that. Just get them to eat. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I thought it was a tree, Connor. I got a monster. Connor, I need you. I need you, dude. This is a frickin... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, okay. Okay. That is a freaking freak. I have never seen that. Bro, look at that. Hold that joker up. Oh my gosh, dude. That is a frickin' mega. Dude, I can't believe how far you ate this trap. Let's see what we got. Five, six, four. Oh my God. Not quite six, but she was up there, man. Oh my goodness. Boys, that's a certified freak. That is a frickin' giant. And I'm just blessed to be out here catching her. Thank you, baby. There she goes. Freakin' beautiful, man. That's just amazing, guys. I thought that dang fish was every bit of eight to 10 pounds jumping with that big head. But I will take a five and a half, pushing six pound fish any frickin' day of the week. I really thought she was a stump at first. I mean, I hooked that and I was like, wait, I'm moving this thing. And I want to say I was reeling the bait, guys. I wasn't, you know how the whole day I've been doing this? I went ripping the bait. I want to say I wasn't even ripping it. I want to say I just threw it out. I was just steadily retrieving that thing. I could be wrong, but I want to say I was just reeling it. What a fish. Well, that's a good start. We just got to break that six, seven pound range. I know we can do it out here. Freakin' trophy pond, man. It has some of them big trophy bass in here. You just got to get lucky enough to hook one of these jokers and keep them on. Oh, so I can't move them, guys. This feels like another monster of a bass. Oh my gosh, I can't even move her. These fish are fightin' like something else. Come on, baby. Stay pinned. Oh, she runnin' to the left, have you? This fish is big, man. Oh my gosh, there's another one. This one might be bigger. This one I think is bigger than the last one. Oh, I got her in the side of the face. Oh, come on, baby. Oh, yeah, that's another freakin' tank. Oh, dude, that fish is way fatter than the last. Oh my gosh, come on. Oh, she barely hooked. That's a six, all freakin' day, man. Wet, freaking, go. Oh my God. Look at that fish. That's got to be bigger than the last one, man. Let's see what we got. Oh my gosh, what is she gonna hit? Oh, she fell down the six, nine, eight. She was seven, oh, one. She was at seven, oh, one. She fell down the six, nine, eight. We're just gonna call that a dang seven pounder. Can't even fit her in the dang picture. I don't wanna keep this fish out of the water, dang seven pounder. I just hooked that dang five and a half a second ago and then just caught this freakin' beast. All right, baby, I got her. Oh, she was ready. Oh my God, this is insanity, guys.
