 Today we're doing the 1v1 no-budget fishing challenge. Me and my boy Adub are going head-to-head to see who the no-budget champion is. We're on my bass boat that's loaded with thousands of dollars of fishing tackle. We can use whatever we want in the boat to get the job done, but there's a twist. This fishing challenge will be split up into three different contests. Contest number one is whoever catches the first fish of the day. Contest number two is whoever catches the most fish of the day. And contest number three is whoever catches the biggest fish of the day. Whoever wins two out of the three contests in three hours is the champion. We are back on the boat boys. It has been a while you guys have been waiting for it and today is the day. I'm out with my boy Adub. If you guys want to check out this boys channel, link it be down below. But we have a little tournament action going on today Adub. Before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of y'all watching these videos are actually subscribed. So if you could take the time hit the subscribe button. It really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. So there's three sections of this tournament. Whoever catches the first fish gets a point. Whoever catches the most fish gets a point. And whoever catches the biggest bass gets a point Adub. And that's how we're going to run it. Three hours on the clock and it's going to start now. So let's hop into it boys. It is such a blessing guys to be out here on the boat. It has been a while since we've been on the boat. We had a lot of issues and we have what seems to have them all fixed now. So we're just going to be kicking it on the boat today. Super pumped man. I've been excited. I could barely sleep last night. And it's one of those days today that's just cloudy and nasty. And I think these big fish are going to be biting. At least that's or hoping. So the whole deal with this $100,000 budget is that we can use anything in this ding bass boat. We got a bunch of rods and reels. We got Adub with some mock combos down there. We got some kick in their bass TV, ex-luse combos up here. If you guys want to check them out kick in their bass.com. And then I got a bunch of different very nice loose setups up here. So anything in this bass boat is included in our budget to try to catch these big bass today. All right boys before we get this time of rolling me and Adub are just rigging up a few things. And I got mock jack spinning combo here that we're about to rig up just a little drop shot. You know, we're in the springtime right now and we're heading into the springtime. I'm expecting to see some fish pushed up shallow and I'm also expecting to see some fish out deep. I'm going to expect a little mixture here. We're going to be fishing some flats today. We're going to fish up on the flat. We're going to be fishing some laydowns and some trees. And we're also going to be fishing out deep. So that's the game plan. And I noticed I broke my leader off the other day. The only fluorocarbon I have in my boat is dang. Look at this. 17 pound, man. So I guess we're fishing 17 pound leader line today. Very finesse approach. Yeah, very finesse. Hey, it's more finesse than that braid now. So that's just what we're going out of the rock, man. Not ideal, but listen. And something happens like that. You just got to, you got to figure out a way. So we're going to have a little leader. I'm not going to make it big because if I do, it's going to be going through my eyelids like a mad man. Did you say your eyelids? I always say that. My eyelids. All right, y'all. I am rigged up. I've got a soft jerk bait on my mock jack combo. We've also got a little minnow style bait on my spinning rod if we do get on the fish out deep. And then I've got another rod right here set up for cranking just in case we need to catch them cranking. But I'm thinking that for the shallow bite, just fluke right here is going to get the job done. All right, boys. We're going to grab us a little crawl too. Let's see what we got. That's a good nice color like a green pumpkin and purple. This is the new little secret crawl and throwing it up on a Texas rig. So we're going to have a drop shot for how deep we could throw a shallow to. We got a Texas rig for up shallow. We're going to have a deep crank bait just in case we spot some of this fish on the edge of that drop off. And then I have a lipless crank here right now. Might change that to a trap, but we'll see. And that is what we're starting with. So let's go ahead and get into this. All righty, Doug, you ready? Ready. Three hours on the clock starts now. Let's get it, boys. So whoever catches the first fish gets a point. That's going to be the call and call on who gets the head start because say I catch the first fish, you have to win the other two, which is biggest and most even win the challenge. So we're going to get after you guys and see what happens. We haven't been up to this lake in about a year and last year I caught a lot of big bags out of here. So I'm, I'm pretty pumped to just be out here. I think it could be pretty crazy. I'm starting off with a little red eyeshadow. Just kind of throwing up shallow so we can catch any that are roaming up on the bank, heavy clouds today. Some fancast for a little bit. Now I kind of want to scan out deep and see if we can catch some of those fish that are more offshore. By the way, I don't know if I told you guys, you can get these on KickingTheBast.com. You can be linked down below. When I was fishing this last year, guys, there was a lot of fish, you know, up shallow, up on the bank bedding. And while they were bedding, I wasn't even fishing up shallow. I was fishing out offshore still. There's still some other stages of fish that were still pushed off. That might be our chance today to catch a couple of double digits. I think are going to be pretty deep. And I don't think it's far fetched at all what we can hook into. It just looks like one of those days for double digit fish. There are a couple in front of me. Oh, those are some nice ones too. You know, one thing I didn't do, that probably should have been prepared for. Dang drop shot, dude. I didn't put my bait on it. I probably could have sniped one of them puppies. Just thinking about my 17 pound Linder line, boy. I think it's going to work if they're hungry. If they're not hungry, I don't know. Oh, boy. I just got slammed, Adub. On the dropy? Oh, yeah. Don't make me have to come up there and show you how it's done. You're more than welcome. I knew I was going to do that. Thank God it didn't. It broke my dang bait though. Oh my gosh. You all good over there? I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Holy cow. Broke my dang bill right off, boy. At least we didn't lose the gopher, guys. I actually had a gopher up on the dash like that before and I flung the whole thing in the water. All right. We good. Thoughts along. Oh, I got bit. Did you? I was about to say one of us were on it. 100%. Oh, I saw them eat it again. I don't know if it's a bass. Was he slamming the heck out of it? Not good. I mean, they feel like they're just like nibbling it like it's crappy or something. That's what it almost feels like. You got one. You got one. Dang it. Oh, you can't be kidding me. Hey, I caught the first fish. That's the first point. Dude. There's no way. Talking about 10 pounders today. Look what I just caught. Dude, you gotta be jocin' a cast, man. You're jocin' a cast. Dude, I couldn't even tell I even had a fish. He was so small. Well, eight of us got the first point, boys. He got the first fish. Dang it, man. Especially when it's one that's small. Like, at least give me something to look at, you know? But hey, you did get the first fish. So that means I got to catch the most fish today, guys, and the biggest fish. Pretty much what that means. I got a big fish right now. You got big fish and you got the most fish at the very moment. And I got the first fish. That means I win. Challenge over. So we've fished for a good bit now and just we're just scouting, trying to find these fish and just playing around. And we were searching out deep for a long, a good while there. We just decided to come up a little bit shallower and then he done gets dumped by a dang solid five-incher. He was a solid one, though. I can't believe you did. Damn, deal with that, dude. You know, I might have been a little excited. It was like a big even though you got the first fish, but five-incher ain't. I ain't acceptable, dude. Hopefully we're going to stay shallow for a little bit. So I'm rigging up a wacky rig. I don't see if it's going to work, but I will say that this lake has a lot of grass on the bottom. So I don't want to fish a bottom bait. This is what I'm going to do. You're going to put on a shallow bait, then I'm going to take us out deep. I know, and I'm going to be mad. And then you're going to put on your deep bait and I'm going to take us back shallow, you know? That's exactly how you're going to do me. So then for the next three hours, you'll just be tying on. Makes sense. Guys, I'm not going to go with a dang chatter dogs. I'm going to go with a black and blue. It's kind of feeling it. See what's happening? He's tying up, so he takes me off the bank. That way I can't cast up there. Yeah, man. The sabotage is what it is. It's just being a good strategist, brother. You know? Tell me that won't give much for. It was good. No way, bro. That's what you get for sabotaging me. Calm down back there, I get thrown in the back of the boat, came and cast, and I'm still winning. So with a wunker too, man, you got a big fish. I can't believe it. There's some fish up there, Adam. I know if I could only cast one. If you can't make it to the bank from where you're at, we got a bigger issue. Well, we have a bigger issue because I can't make it. Oh, I just have one pick me up. Dude, shut up. I swear. Dude, I'm not playing this game. You're jacking my leg. He didn't eat it, but he hit it. I caught it. I think that's bigger than yours, Adam. Come on, dude. If we would have flopped it on the scale, you know? Honestly, it might have broke my scale though. Dude, that is 100% bass out there. Oh, it's dang something. Anything but a fish is what it is. Dude, there is so many fish on here. Adam, look at this, bro. Come here. I don't know what these fish are. Dude, I just got... Yes, sir. Oh, that's bigger than yours, boy. Oh, it's a nice one, boy. Come on, Adam. That might be a little bigger than yours. Oh, you barely bit that thing too. I had to sit it down there. There's a lot, a lot of fish right here. Dude, that fish is nice, boy. All right, boys. We just got laying this puppy. It's a good fish. Oh, yeah. Easy three. Easy three. You see this, Adam? Oh, yeah, baby. Here we go, boys. Adam might have got the first fish, but we got the biggest and we're tied them with the most at the moment. Not an absolute giant, but that's a dang good fish. Three pounder. Yes, sir. Three point two, boy. Three point two. And that is the first fish for me today. That's a nice one. Thank you, baby. There we go. Come on, now. Come on, now. We on board. A lot of fish down there, man. No way. Oh, no way. Dang it, tall. Here, I'll catch him. You son of a gun. You're going literally right to a one that just bit me. Look at my hook. You stupid. I know you are on it. You stupid bass. Oh my goodness. Actually, you're not stupid. I love you, but please, can you bite mine and not his? I'm glad we found a little stack of them finally. You get these fish to eat here. There's no way. No. Oh my God. Dude, that thing's crazy. I ain't gonna lie. I didn't break her all bent my hook out again. Got him. Yeah, it's decent. Oh, he's not that good. Oh, that's a dang three pounder though. No, I think he's a two. Oh, no. Hey. He's fighting good though. That's a three pounder though. No. Let me see. You better hope he's not. That's a three pounder. You better hope he's not because he might beat you. Yep. Yep. Noah lies about the weight in all his videos. Noah says it's an eight and it's really a four. Just so you guys know, he says this was a five pounder and look at it. It's a solid, probably 12 ounces. No, that really is a two pounder though. You should have weighed him so you got your big. Well, he wasn't gonna beat it. He's not gonna beat yours. All right, guys. Well, eight of just took the lead, man. I like this, though. I like the little back and forth action. At least not one of us are putting a spanking on each other right now. I'm about to spank you good boy. We're throwing the same bait, but we got two different rigs, guys. I got the drop shot. He just has a little jighead. I guess we're gonna find out what they eat the best, man. We're gonna tie on some different baits and be throwing some other things, but I guess we'll see. There's a lot more fish down there, Adam. Oh yeah. There's so many. Oh no. There's so many fish down there. I broke my dang leader. You know what? I'm gonna try it real quick. Let me try this thing. I know it's a dang Texas rig. Oh dude, it just came up out. Baby. Give him something different here. I'm going right up in that puppy. Big and big and grab the net. For real? Grab the net. Grab the net. Oh, that is a monster, dude. Oh my God, Adam. Get the net, dude. That is a giant. He ate the freaking crawl. Look. You hang a lot. I think I might have just stepped on your muffin. That's okay. Screw the muffin, Adam. Net the fish. Let go, baby. Come on. Give me some now. Yeah, he got me so wet. I know we aren't on the same team, but come on now. Oh my goodness, boys. Look at that. That's a freaking tank. Dude, first cast on the crawl. See, we don't need no shaky head, man. Look at that dang Texas rig in there. He smoked it. I had a weird, like, left-handed hook set, too. Oh my goodness. That's a high four. It might be five. We have the same amount of fish, but this is upgrading my big fish and I feel good. Anything can happen out here, though, guys. I'm telling you, there's some big ones. 4.78 a dub. Almost a five pounder yonder. And that is a beautiful fish, man. Get a nice little release on that puppy. Throw in the drop shot. They weren't eating it. Pick up that crawl five pounder. All right. It's anybody's ball game. I'm feeling good. I'll bet you are. Catch a five pounder. You know what? I said I ain't tying that drop shot back on. I'm just gonna whip my dang Texas rig. That was the best decision I've ever had. That little green pumpkin purple flake. A little juice secret. Oh, look at that secret crawl. It looks good. Well, guys, it has been, it hasn't been the fastest day of fishing. We're putting together something here and we're getting some bites. 8 of S2 fish. I have two. I've only caught two, but I have a three pounder and almost a five. So I'll take the size. We're gonna put on another one of these crawls. And you know, this is normally something I wouldn't throw down in a brush pile. If I'm throwing a Texas rig, I'm mainly throwing up on some laydowns and shallower cover. But with me breaking off that drop shot, I was like, you know what? Let's pick up this Texas rig and see if we can make something happen with it. I was telling Adub, she grabbed that thing and I had to do this awkward left handed hook set. I was scared I wasn't going to land her, but get to that. Get to that. You never know. I hear you know it. I didn't know if she was doing four pounds, five pounds or eight pounds. So I was just like, I just knew she was hefty. Step on the muffin and everything. You see, this is some of the sabotage and stuff we're talking about earlier. He's just doing it in a different manner. I'm gonna be real. There's one thing you don't do. You don't mess with a man's muffin. Okay. Well, I'm about to steal all your fish. I'm putting on the mighty shaky head. Oh no, you can't do that. Yes, I can. That's not, that's illegal. Did you not read the tournament handbook? I did. Everything's allowed, but no shaky heads. Well guys, we're gonna rig up another drop shot. We got a little bit of rain pushing in here. Hopefully it's just going to stay like this and not dump on us. That'd be a little upset. Not even gonna lie. Right, when we start to figure something out, if it starts raining, I'd be, I'd be a little irritated. I'm just gonna tell the same nose hook on. I would usually put like a little straight shank drop shot hook, but Adam's got these dang extra wide gas back here. I ain't every time one on again. Adam, Adam said, that's the best jar shot hook in the game. I never said that. I've never lost somebody fish on a big drop shot in my life. Never tying that on. You know, we're tied right down the middle right now. You got the first fish. So you got a point. I got big fish currently. I got a point and then we both have two fish. So we're straight up tied in the tournament right now. All right guys, old dropper shot. It's tied on. Adam actually gonna put a worm on this time. A little nose hook, regular finesse worm. What? Is that a fish? I don't even want to talk about it, Adam. How did that just snap me off like that? I've never snapped a crankbait off like that in my career. Dude, I just had a massive follower. Oh my gosh, please come up here and eat it. Dude, what is he doing? He chased me all the way to the boat. What was that noise? There's your crankbait. He didn't break it off in eight minutes. Hey, there you are, bro. Look at this. Hey, come here, boy. I knew you would snap it, bro. I was just joshing your tots, you know? Does that count as a catch? Bro. I got three. Shut up. Yo, he just came up and said hello. I've never seen that in my life. Thank God, man. I didn't want to lose that crankbait. I really didn't. That's funny. Well, now you know it wasn't eight pounders. Do you think I need to put that dang swim bait, that flute back on? Adam had two fish on the stank thing. I had one, so says something. I thought he ate you and he ate me. Boy, Adam right here. That's another good one. On the way. Yep. It is. On the crawl. Yo, I need a tie on the drop shot so I can break it again. Golly. There we go, boys. Fish number three. Dang crawl. And I fed it to him, boy. Look at that. Right in the nose. Like a two and a half pounder. We'll take them though. I don't know. The crawl might be the move, dude. Actually, two pounder. Let's get it. Fish number three for me. All right, boys. We're sitting in the lead. Oh my God, almost hit that bird, dude. No way. It's crappy. Dude, that is a mega, dude. Mega crappy. Yeah, what in the world? That's a slab, son. Oh my goodness. Look at that. Tied for fish. Hey, you tied. That counts, man. Oh my goodness. I would have never thought that was a crabby. This is a dang slab, dude. This is a monster, man. All right. Well, that's 338. Gosh, dang it. What's up, man? I was thinking about you earlier and then I was like, that can't be William. How you been? I've been awesome. Yeah, no, it's been great. I wish the weather was a little better, but at least we're not getting rained on bad, you know? You caught any big ones recently? There you go. It's good to see you, man. I'm glad you're doing well. Guys, I don't know if you remember. That was William and I was out here one day smoking him and he was fishing. He was on his John Boop, but I went up and I was catching him so good and he pulled up to me and he was wondering what I was doing and I just told him to hop on the boat and he ended up catching his biggest bass of his life. Let's roll that clip real quick. Did you get him? Yeah. Oh my gosh, brother, that's a big one. That's a big one. That is a monster. Oh my gosh. Look at that one. That was just a sick moment and it's crazy because I haven't been out here in forever and Adam was joking. He's like, that's William over there and I'm like, that's not William. He's not on the John Boop. Sure enough, it was William and William can catch him now. All right, boys, this time three to three, we're going over to this spot where I caught dang five pounder and my first fish. We don't see if we can dangle this dang crawl in front of his face. This fish has been just, I don't know, we're having the force feed them today. They're not really eating that well. That is okay. We're still catching fish and I feel like we're cast away from a 10 pounder and anything can happen. This GoPro going to come off today. You all okay back there? Dude, I got a little tiny. You know what that is? That's the lead. That's the lead, brother. And guess what? I did it in fashion just like your first day. Right there, boys. Listen, that ain't a big one. That's fish number four and that takes AW's lead. All I felt was just a little tiny. I didn't even have a lead. We were tied. You're right, you're right. We were dead tied, but guess what? Now I'm winning, brother. So you better catch something. Guys, a little update. These fish have shut down. I caught that little tiny squirt and other than that, Adam caught a crappy probably about 30 minutes ago and we haven't had a lick. So we're just hunting around, trying to hit some more of these piles and hopes that we can get a couple more big bites before the time's up. But it has been an interesting day. You know, we have these storms rolled in and this weather's just been dark and nasty and those fish don't seem to like it besides when we caught like three fish in the span of 20 minutes. We're going to keep on hunting and hopefully we'll catch another big one or two. No, dude. All right, guys, I had this idea of putting on a little crappy jig. You're a fool, man. What did I hit? I got hit. What else would I have hit? Dude, I was rolling in all of a sudden, he was like, watch your chicken. Bro, he bopped it, dude. Coming down to the electric chicken. Man, if we don't run out of time, I come around the dang rock paper scissors and catch another fish. Oh, no, dude. I'm not full of it. He actually hammered it. Bro, I told you, I had to start singing to him. All right, guys, we are fishing shallow now. I spent the whole day out deep, probably regretting it. I threw my second cast up there and got popped. I guess we're going to see. Still throwing this little tiny Texas rig, put it on a stenco, green pump can. We only got 20 minutes, guys. The time's ticking. I'm hoping to get another fish on board here. I'm already leading. If I could get another fish, kind of make sure we slick in and make sure we hold that fish count. We'll be looking pretty. Yes. Good one. There is no way. Yeah. On the stenco? Stenco. No, put your crawled down. What are you doing here? Oh my god. She choked that puppy. Dude, gone. I can't believe I just caught a bass. So what does that mean? That means we're tied. Four to four, a little bit of time remaining. I got to lock in here, guys. I got to lock in. Beautiful fish. I pulled it out of her mouth, dude. I pulled it out of her mouth. Oh, literally, dude. She ate it and I just like, oh, she might be able to bite it, bite it again. Dude, I'm telling, what is going on? She ate my dang skirt, boy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It don't end this way. It don't end. I can't believe it, guys. We got to lock in here. That was a good dang bite and I just, I don't know. Please, fish. That was actually a big one, Adam. That was actually a big one. They're not, you know what they might be, isn't that weird pre-spawn? That was a big one. I felt her too. I stuck her. Gosh. Yes. Yes. Good fish, too. Dude, I am stuck. Listen, it ain't over. It ain't over yet. I got to get this one in the boat, though. Yes, we're doing it. Yes, sir. Maybe I need a wacky rig to hook them in. Dude, I ain't going to lie. That fish, that one, the first one, I think was small. That second one had some weight on her, dude. Dude, look at that boil. No, just look at the boil. It just like boiled on my line or something. Oh my gosh. Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Dude, we should have been shallow all day, Adam. What are we doing? Oh my gosh. Listen, that ain't big, but that is five to five. Let's go. We're back in the game. Somehow, Adam just was making a comeback. It's been back and forth all day. We got like a couple minutes of that. Next bite. Come on. I'm throwing back in there. I happened to catch another one. Oh, that's it, Adam. That's the time? Yeah. So what do we do? Should we do a 30 minute like, I mean, we're tied? I'm not tied. All right, guys. That's what we're going to do. We're going to set another 30 minutes and we're just going to keep on fishing for the last 30 because at the end of the day, he got the first fish, which was one point. I have big fish currently. That's two points. That's a point for me. And we're tied on the fish numbers. All right, guys, we're probably going to run to this other pocket real quick and just see. We got 30 minutes, whatever happens, happens. All I know is they were up shallow and we caught. We could have had five or six fish right there. That was insane. We've been killing ourselves out deep all morning. We probably could have went up shallow and just spanked them, but I don't know. All right, boys. We made it to the other side. We're going to fish back in this pocket. We're going to fish the mouth here and see what we can do. Dude. What? You didn't think grass? No, one ate it. No, he didn't. Grass bite sometimes feels really good. That's it. He's going to be on that cast right there. Dude, I saw your lime running. These look like it. I don't know, dude. Might have just been a tree bass. Oh, oh, he grabbed his feather. Oh, that's crazy. Just watching Duke it out, dude. All right, guys, we did not get any bites in this backcove. So what we're going to do is we're going to go over to the bow ram, throw a few of the pocket, and then we're calling it there. All right, man. Who's going to do it? Oh, Adam. What? There's a big boy on the sun. Hey, man, calm down. Calm down. You called my name. So that was a free invitation to cast. Calm down. All right, what's going to happen, boys? I did not think this challenge was going to be as close as it is. Oh, yeah. And I got him. Oh, I got him. What you going to say about that, son? Hey, we got five minutes, boys. So guess what? That's fish number 60. You're five, son. Son, let me see what you got. I can't believe it. Dude, that is a fat boy. He's fat, yeah. This pocket has been crazy. We drove all the way across the lake, went into the other pocket. Didn't have a bite. Pull right back up to where we were before. Pop one. Oh, my. Oh, Adam, they're batting so bad, dude. I'm talking the craziest butt. Dude, he hit me so bad that my line almost touched my nose. I'm telling you, dude. What the heck? That was the craziest. When I'm in a bite like, dude, craziest bite this year yet, for sure. I got to catch this fish. That one that I hooked there, guys, that came off that I actually got a piece of, that one felt like a monster. There he is. Yeah, decent. Wait, though, it's small. Dude, why did it feel so good? Pink worm told you. Told you. Pink worm. Pink worm. Let's go. I can't believe this. Pink worm. Thank you, baby. Give you a little kiss. Pink worm. Let's go. They're down there, bro. Yeah. One's falling here right now. Yeah, he's like on your bait. He just hit me again. Yeah, they're down there, dude. What's up, man? Thank you, brother. That's a cool guy right there, man. He's balling out the windows here. All right, let's just do this. Whoever catches the next fish is it. Hang on. Oh, I hate that. It's scary. I ain't going to lie, because this is anybody's ball game right here, but eight of us got that pink sand coat, man. We've gone over our time limit at this point. We were just going back and forth. We're going crazy. I got to trick up my sleeve if I can hurry up before he gets another bite. Let's go. See if I can catch one on a bait caster. See if I still remember how to do that. I just want that bite back. I want that one just like slobber of a bite. Dude, you get real? No. What the freak? Is that a bird? Look, see this stuff moving? Yeah, dude, that's not a bird. Dude, shut up. I don't know. You saw my bait moving, right? No. It might have just been because it was on that little twig, but it went from there all the way to there. Yeah, it might have been. I was not taking any chances. He elated that thing like it was 20 pounds. Oh, John, that's it. Dude, he was tugging on it too. I thought it was on a stick. Look, you took my ding with my pinchers. I'm going to catch this fish, dude. He was all the way up on the bank, right there. I'm going to catch it. No. Yes. There we go, boy. There we go, boy. Oh my gosh, Adam. What a freaking tournament, dude. Oh my gosh. Unless you catch one on that same cast. Oh, dude. You did not miss one. Oh my gosh, what a tournament.
