 We are again, fishing freaks, soaking in the morning birds right now. Calm winds up here in beautiful Ontario, and we are going after the mighty Bronzeback Smallmouth today. I have been waiting years to come back up here and experience these smallmouth. Now I've caught bigger smallmouth and the Great Lakes, and gone to some really special smallmouth fisheries. But this place, this place is so chock-full of good-sized two-and-a-half, three-and-a-half pound smallmouth, it's unbelievable. And our goal today in my boat is to try to catch 100 smallmouth bass out of Rainy Lake. Something that makes this really exciting for me personally is that a few years ago when I came up here, we didn't really have a whole lot of specific baits and tackle for up here in these northern fisheries. These really northern fisheries. But now we have got some really awesome northern-style baits, and we're going to be utilizing those today. I think it'll be cool to really smash some fish on all these baits we've been working on for the last year or so. So let's hit the water and let's try to get 100 brownsbacks. He's in. We've got him in. Brett? Yes, sir? This is going to be your best day ever so far. Probably bass fishing ever, but let's not jinx anything. Definitely smallmouth. So he got a little taste yesterday, all right? Caught his first couple smallmouth. We were focusing on those walleye, had to get the meats. They were delicious. All right, but today, today it's going down with the brownsbacks. We're breaking out all the stops if we can get out there. Yes, sir. Can't stop the old Yammy. All right, let's rip it, beautiful, glassy day on Rainy Lake. We have made it to the first hole, y'all. So this first little stop is the mouth of a bay. It's got a lot of good little chunky boulders in it. I'm going to do a little finesse tactic to start off here. And that is throwing a hair jig, a black hair jig, to be specific. I'm going to throw it on my micro pole that I use for crappie fishing. The tube is probably going to be the key player here today, but this is something that I don't get to do that often. So I'm going to break out one of these hair jigs. It's a black Guggen Squad hair jig, all right? Yeah, I know. Plus, you know, I just feel at home with a crappie rod in my hand. The fight's going to be pretty awesome on that. Oh, look at this boulder out in front of me. This should be juicy fruit McGee right here. This water is really dark in here. There's a smally. Oh, he smoked it by that boulder. You just knew he was going to be there. God, he smoked that hair jig. This is a good one, too. First one of the day, and it is a dandy, dandy, rainy Lake Smallmouth, pegged up on a big boulder. Let's get this guy in the net. There we go. That's a beautiful one. Gorgeous guys. He's a little beat up on his tail, but still pretty healthy. That's number one. Number one, he smoked that jig. He came from a ways away to grab it. All right, see you, buddy. See you, buddy. There's number one. I'm not fishing it like a typical jig. The idea is I want this thing to look like a leech. A little leech in the water. Smallmouth like clear water. They like good visibility. And there's one. Oh, yeah. Woo, good jump. That's fun. That's not. That does not suck. Does not suck. That's just a good average size one. He gave us a good jump for number two. Number two in the first five minutes, we'll take it. It's the pace. We've got to keep up that pace. Cawdly, man. This on this micro rod is so awesome. See that thing just bent over the whole time? They just don't quit up here. Pretty red eyes. It's awesome. There we go. See that bloody tail right there, Brett? That's from the spawn. So they use their tail to fan out. Keeping it. Exactly. Can you get it in there? We'll pick up a jerk bait. Put the smack down here. This thing's going to get bit off that pike. There we go. There's number three. That's a good one. That is a good one on the jerk bait now. Definitely net this guy right here on the point coming out of the bay. Look at that. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh, he does not want to come with me. Take a ride. Take a ride on the YouTube internet way. There you go, bud. Nice fish. All right, let him go. See you, my friend. That's number three. How are you guys doing over here? What's up? What's the deal? Exciting. Yeah, exciting times. Captain Ted is here. And he's going to take us to some areas that he has found, some smallmouth that I fished in the past years ago. I don't even remember where it's at. So he's going to take us back there. And he said recently they came out here and they were crawling. We got about a 30-minute boat ride. Once we get up there, we'll start whacking. Good-sized boulders. The thing that I like to look for that seems to be successful is like basketball-sized rock. And then if you mix in some of those bigger boulders, that's really good. But it seems like that is something they really like to hang around. So isn't that hair big? There we go. On top of the rock. Got him on the scout. Look at that tasty one there. Oh, yeah. Look how they are just all amazing. These are all good fish. There we go. All right, guys. There we go. That is number four. Number four through the door. Get this beautiful fish back. It's sitting right on top of a boulder, right where it should be. There you go, Dad. There's number five. Dad's hooked up on the Guggenherd jig. There we go. There you go, Brent. Oh, good. Nice. There we go. Number six. It's still right there. That's going to be a big one. There we go. Oh, come on. That's another boat. Little guy. Count him. Here's a tasty one. Woo, baby. Number eight, my lucky number, is a good one. Tasty ones out here on this point. Come on up, baby. There you go, Lee. They just keep fighting. There we go. Good one, 18 inches. Hooked up on a solid one. Scout, nice fish. Little beat up. Nice fish. Number 10, he's beat up. Man, look at that. It's been a bit. Oh, man. Went over up and been fighting. Fighting for the genetics. Number 11 on the line. Almost a double up. Dad's hooked up. Got the dirty dozen. Oh, there's one. Double up, me and Dad are doubled up. There we go. There we go, boys. Look at that jump. Chunk wads. These are chunky. They've been feeding up. Hey, now we're working. Now we're working, look at that. They're all beat up from the spawn, but that thing is gorged. Gorged. That's what I'm talking about. Here we go, pop. On the dub tube. Ooh, there's another one. Now we're working, boys. That's 14. There's a solid one. Oh, yeah. Oh, my hair's sally. Keep it in jumps and count it. There's some feeding them between those boulders. Just big old hawkers out here. Look at that baby just wallowing around. That's tasty, huh? Both flipping in. Yes, sir. That is a chunk. I usually don't even weigh them out here, guys, because this lake is not known for giants. They're chunked up like that, just bunches of them. There you go, Brett. Brett's hooked up. Come on. Oh, come on. Yes. They're good at that. There you go, Brett. Woo, baby, look at them jumps now. Look at them jumps. We'll count that one as 18. Oh, dad's got a good one. Another one on the scout. Elegy bone, that's a tasty one there. Woo-hoo, sally. Got a little net here. There we go. That's 19. Now we're getting into them. These are post-bond feeders, too. He's a hunk, really. There's one. There we go. That's number 20, boys. Oh, man. That's number 20, unless it's a pike. It is a pike. I think we're going to have to stay around those rocks. There we go. Quick release. I'll just put on a wake banger. This is a topwater bay. And it's a craig that just stays at the surface. And I keep seeing these smallmouth oil in between these shallow rocks. And I think this will get them to come up. Little buddy. Oh, there you go, pop. Oh, God, this had one invited at the top. Oh, my God, that was awesome. Woo. Oh, my God, that was a huge one. Holy, did you see that one? God, dog. That was a big one. That's the biggest one we've seen. Got another one. There he is. Oh, that was awesome. Saw him coming. There's another one with him, too. A bigger one. Yep, he wants it. That's a big one. That's a big one. Oh, I guess we can't drop it in there. That one's big. Yeah, it can happen. You can double up like that out here. That was pretty sweet. Yep, a chunk. I was thinking about that bite when I was building up my tackle box. Oh, just had one. Pulled on it, right over a boulder. Oh, my God, just right over the boulder, and you smashed it. Dude, that's bad ass. Oh, man. That does not get old. 25? Oh, yeah, heck, yeah, that's a big one, too. I'm sure I can both flip you, dude. You're dense, very dense. You trying to pick out a crank bait? You just dump them out on the floor and kind of go through? You see, you should get to them like that. Yeah, they get some untangled pastries. Dump them out. Oh, my God. Yeah, what a mess. Oh, it came back and got it. Oh, my gosh, it came right off that boulder. Hit it twice. Sheila is angry. Oh, my gosh, that was amazing. Golly, you got to love it. You got to smash that like button right over the top of that boulder and whop I am. Got to love it, baby. Oh, yeah, this one's been fighting, too. We're seeing a lot of sores on these fish. And it's from the fighting of these smallmouth dude during the spawn. They're so aggressive. See, he's got a bit in the face. This is not the most effective lure for getting the fish in the boat, but it is effective. They're getting it from 6th to midnight. Oh, God, another one. Oh, God, came back and got it. I lost him. Oh, man. I lost him. I lost him. Barely kissed it right over the top of that boulder. Came back twice. Break out that hair jig for a second. Just got to go. Another one on the hair. Oh, there's another one just swirled up there, Brett. Probably his mate. 28, feeling great. Yes, sir. Here we go. This has been a good stop here, boys. It's that dirty 30. Woo, man, that's a fun fight on that microlead. Look at that. Just bent right over. We're working. We're getting there. Beautiful. Beautiful. Let's move behind that island over there. 32 and look down that mouth. I'm scared to even put my hand in there. Look at that. Big old pitcher in there. Good, man. I give him a hard burn with it. Can it come in and not hurt anything? 33. That's a netter. He escaped. I respect it. Yeah, I respect it. Hair jig out. 33. Number 35 right here, LFD, bringing it in before the short launch. Coming to papa. I got you. I got you, pop. This is a good one. There she is. Yeah. There we go. Oh, you got it on the little blade bay. Look at you go. All right, guys. We are going to do our traditional short launch. Not going to show this part. This is part of a walleye video, but we will reconvene when we're done. And we're going to try to get that 100. We're over a third. It can't be done. This is a good short launch, y'all. If you missed that video, go back and watch it. Pretty special. And dad caught number 36. 36 from the short line. Almost had 37. I know. And then it broke you off. I mean, technically, we had counted. We saw it. Yeah, it was a good fish. I saw it from as high above. We'll count it. 37. Oh, gosh, what a bite right over the boulders. Got a great stretch of boulders right here, guys. Yeah, when I get one on this, it's a good one. Front side of the island. The jerk base has been great. Got a little wind working. These real tricky boulder spots. We're going to put on a stupid tube. Stupid tube rig. OK. This is how you rig it. This is a specialized jig head. We don't make it, but this is a tube jig head with a poke that bends back so you can text expose it. So we're going to go up in here and through about right there, flip the tube through. We're going to flip it, bring that plastic out of the top. And we'll come up through the tube body, whole tube body, and then text expose it right there. That's going to keep us out of the rocks. Doob-tuber, 59 on the doob-tube. There we go. Get this tube game on. It's a little slower, but I do enjoy putting it in your face. This whole pocket's pretty flat. It's very good. Oh, he broke me off. That was a pike. That was a pike. What are you getting them on there, pop? Scout. Come on, boys. All right. Pretty decent feeling of fish, too. This is a good one. Brad had one right there. God, this is a strong fish, man. He's not even big, just full of piss and vinegar. There we go on that doob-tube again. Now, that guy looks fresh. That looks like a fresh female, just hunting crawls. God, I'm just perfect on that little jighead. Woo. Yeah, that was a healthy one there. Pike. Are you serious? Yeah. There's some pike here for sure. Small jaw captured. 65, is it? 65, 64. Might be 64. Yeah, boys, let's go. Let's go on this point. Yeah, the pike, it's just done. There's smally, baby. Let's go. Little guy, doob-tubing him up, right on the point. Oh my gosh, right away. They're crushing it. Here we go, boys. Now we're catching up. Got one too. Yeah, they're so dense. They're so dense. 67, let's go. Good one. There's a full ground one. That's a beautiful small one. You need me to net it? There's another one with it. Another one with two more with it. They're gone now. That's a beaut. Hey now, we're working. That's a beauty. Holy shmoly, that beat up tail, too. Let's go. 69, that's a special one there. Smash that like button for 69. Wind is kicking up. We got the smoke. The Canadian smoke is coming in hot. We're going to get hot on this little point, windy point, jerking. Skips are flying. There's a fish on, boys. That's how we do it. Been a strong, boys. Sounds like it. Chance it could come out. There we go, boys. We're on. Oh, I'm counting him. That's me, counting him. This feels nice. Good one, boys. Good. That's a Betty Crocker special right there now. That's 78. Look at the beef on it. 78 had some shoulders now. There we go. Ah, came unpinned. Oh, I got pikes. I got pikes. Those pikes over there, 82. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're in the fourth quarter. We are at the two minute warning, in fact, and it is go time. We're in the mid-80s. We've got to get about 15 more to get to 100. This is actually where Dad caught the monster walleye the other day. We ended up catching a few smallmouth in here, so we figured we'd give it a shot and had some really good shallow boulders. Wind's picking up. You can see the smoke coming out of the east. All those eastern fires is blowing over here right now. Hopefully it's going to keep the mosquitoes off and the smallmouth on. Let's get it. Ah, there we go. 85, feel it alive. Look at it. It's fins. This fish has been fighting a bit. It's a good smaller. Come on. We're out here on an island, guys. There's some sort of baitfish that is on top of it. And the scout is just, he's getting crushed right now. Oh, my gosh, I just had another one. Let's go. These aren't little either. I mean, somebody needs to be. Look at that one. Oh, my gosh, man. Woo! That's a hell-bitch right there. Yeah, that's a good one. Almost into the 90s. And that's a big, big sucker. We're all ready. It's a bigger one. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Everything's up there feeding on that bait. Lobbery bulldogs. Let's go. We're at 90, 91. 91 and having fun, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a, this is something big. It's a pike. Yep, it is. Oh, dang it. Oh, I hate these things. They scared me. One, yes, sir, it is. Dad's on 91. Yeah, buddy. That looks long, dad. Whatever that is. Whatever you got. Smallmouth. 92, let's finish it, boys. Come on, 93. Good good and two. Chunky butts. Come on now. Fun to get us there for those pliers, dad. Oh gosh, dad's hooked up. 96. 96 is on. We got it. We're gonna finish it around this corner. Come on. Stay clocked in. There you go, Brett. It's gonna be special whoever gets 100. There's the 100 fish. Just had one. We have to break out the tube to finish this thing. Slight little break in the wind right here. Some decent boulders. Yep, 99. Little old 99. This is it, boys. This is it. 90 or 100, 100, boys, on the dupe tube. Let's freaking go. And it's a good one too. Oh, Mr. 100. Yeah, I'll net him. Ladies and gentlemen, 100 bass in a day. You know what you gotta give that one a sniff. Oh, that was a double take right there. 100 bass in a day. Smashing, y'all. Yeah, that feels good. And the craziest conditions too. All this smoke rolled in. Crazy orange sun hanging over us. And to finish it on a tube. The scout, though, crushed it. Absolutely crushed it today when that wind picked up. Boys, it's time for a cold cooers. It's time for a sickle. Time to lie. I think you had a run of about 13 fish and 15 cast. I mean, it was nuclear. Awesome fishing day. There's nothing really much we can say now. Made it back to the cavern. We're going to celebrate with the boys. If you guys want to pick up on some of the baits that I was using today, the new dupe tubes, coarsed the scouts, crushed it, even the new wakebanger. Really cool topwater bait. You can go to googinsquad.com. Use my code, LFGSafe10, and check out. And we're going after another adventure tomorrow. So stay tuned and we'll see you there.
