 Derby videos do pretty good. Derby videos? Yeah, all mine have been pretty good. I hear Derby videos do pretty good, John tells me. And that's exactly what you're going to... That's exactly what you're going to get today. Welcome back to the channel, y'all. That's right, me and JB, himself, right here, Derb. It's been a minute. I'm glad to be back in the presence of Rackley. We just said, hey, if we're going to fish together, we might as well, you know, just fish a Derb. I guess that's what we're doing, going all in, man. Actually, Fun & Son is putting on a termin out here today. A little charity Derb, and we are on a place formally known. He told me it was formally known as Squaw Creek. I just think might be considered a derogatory term now. So what is it? It's now Comanche. Comanche. You're one of your favorites. Which, dude, I vibe. I vibe with the Comanche. Right here in central Texas, where they used to dominate the plains, the prairies, the creek bottoms, making their bowdark sticks, riding on horseback. Just dominating the plains from Mexico all the way up to the Dakotas. But we're not here to talk about Indians today. We're here to catch some largemouth bass, at least 14 inches, and hopefully have a sack to weigh in for you guys. What are your predictions? What do you think will be at, come way in time? I'm hoping to sit around eight or nine pounds. Cool. Setting the expectations real freaking low. There are a lot of small fishing here, but there have been some decent ones caught out of here. We're in wintertime, but it's a power plant. So fish could be anywhere from pre-spawn to spawn. We don't know. It's kind of a mystery. You've fished out of here before. What are you thinking? So I fished here, I think maybe two times. Both times have been incredible. It's one of those places where you're going to catch arguably triple digits, potentially. You're going to catch a lot of fish. Yeah, you're going to catch maybe like 50 fish. But like Rack, they mentioned they're all going to be tiny. The last time I was out here, they were eating fun stuff. Buzz baits, big 2.5 inch, googing cranks. I mean, it's a lot of boats, a lot of competition on tiny body water, but I have high hopes. I think we'll get 18 pounds. I think we'll get 18 pounds. I think it's probably going to take like 25 to 20. I mean, mid-20s, high-20s. But it's not one of those places where it's like fork. You're not going to fish it for like eight or nine powder. It's a weird time of the year, and it's a hot water discharge. So you have no freaking clue what they're going to be chewing on. But that's why we're here. Finger or ma'am. Buddy. Hell yeah. Glad to be fishing with you either way. Absolutely. It's been a hot minute. John has been on a tear. By the way, go check out his adventurous videos. Recently, you just got a camper. You got a camper video coming up. You inspired me. I had to get one. We got to do it together one day. Yes. We need to get salty, start farting in some clothespaces, drink some brown water, eat some broths. Some good stuff happens. Maybe catch bass. I don't know. It's just good times. So you guys are in for a little treat today, the duo. And we got the Guggen Squad videos coming up. We're actually, you're leading the charge here on a little southern border trip. Yes, which we're doing on the border challenge. It's something we have yet to... We've always talked about it, but... I know. I haven't done it. It's insane that we haven't pulled the trigger on a lot of the ideas that we have. We've got good ideas. We just suck at execution, honestly. Sorry. I just blew you out. No, it's fine. All right. So you guys stay tuned for that. GuggenSquad.com, if you want to pick up any wintertime fishing gear, we just drop the spoons and the shad wagons. And the a-rigs, yeah. Yep. So those are available now. It's time. It's time to get those. You can use my promo code, LFGSafe10. I think John has one, too, floating around out there. Yeah, I think it's somewhere. I don't know. I gotta go find it. Anyway, you can save an extra 10 at checkout. Plus get some of the fresh hoodies. Stay as looking fresh out there. Stay stiff in Mondos. We got to get to business, tie some stuff on. There are, I think, 128 boats out here. So it's going to be an interesting launch. Thanks for funding us on putting this derby on. Poker tournament was last night also, which I am... You won big. Here's part of the deal. It's poker plus fishing. Your combined score is a win. Unfortunately, John, I was the first person out of the poker tournament out of 128 people. I was the first one out. Went a little aggressive. So we're not starting out on the great foot. That means we got to catch about 28 pounds to win this thing. Yep. Let's get after it. Oh, plus Zaldane's here. This is floating around here somewhere. We'll probably see him out here somewhere anyway. I ran into him last night. Smell the coffee if there's a black rifle coffee set in the air. Let's crank up the national anthem and let's get this derp started. I don't know. I think we're close to tie for Titus fitting life vets today. Yeah, that is. I'm not sick, you know. Yeah, I think we got here and I was like, I hope I have a life jacket in my boat. Yeah, that's a life jacket. Yeah, we had to. Straight from the Titanic, honestly. You put a side bet, you guys. What's that? $100 side bet. I'm down. Yes, sir. It's time to party. He's time to party. Time to party. Look at John. Looks like he's safe. He's ready to go. He's not sinking today. Oh, dude. I got a boy Zaldane over there. And I've known him for a long time. Matt Pangrax, his partner. Got a little side bet going on with him today. $2,000. $200. Oh, no, $100. No. I think it was 20 packs as in or $100, whichever one comes first. What do you say? Boat number what? 8. We're at. Boat number 12. Thank you, 13. Wave at me, guys. 13. Boat number 14. Thank you. We're real close. We're docking at the next 10 boats because you're holding yourself up, guys. 13, 14. Thank you. 13. 13. 13. What time's the way in? 1.30? 1.30. 1.30. Look at the fast master. Music playing. Don't forget about your camera, too. Oh, yeah. Man, we're legal. Ready to go. Let's kick it off. Not going to hammer down full strength there. Derp time. This is the life. Oh. Is this our first derby together? Yeah. I think so. First official here. Wow, dude. We competed against each other. We're not much of a competition, though. Drop that power pole for a second, and then we're going to commence dangling. Oh, I see a good one on the scope. A pie. Jerky. Jerkable. Get them fired up with the aquatic sounder. Oh, my gosh. Look at this tree. It's full of tilapias or something. Shad balls. You're going to like this out here, John. You're going to like what's happening. This is the longest pee in my life. Water is 73 thus far. That's pretty warm. OK, guys. So John is throwing a large wake bait to start. He's just said, you know what? I'm here. I've got a small life jacket, and I've got a big lure. I'm starting out with a scout. Just doing a little hunting. Me and John are not really dialed into anything. We just really needed to pee. This looked like an open spot to urinate. I was like, yeah, do anything. You know you probably haven't, but you don't know where it is. That's where we're at. I'm just thinking of blazing our arms to see what they're doing. Oh, God, something big just swirled up in there. To the left. Oh, there's one. There, boys. Here we got a boy. Yeah. That's a keeper. Blazing more of a strikes. Oh, John's got the... We're going to get dialed here. Never mind. It's not working. No, I don't think this is going to get us to 28 pounds. No, but it's not a system. 2-5. 2-5. I'll do the calling. Yeah, buddy. That's two bites. Got them on the blazer. Yes, sir. That is me and John's first boated bath and a derp together. Yeah, he was out a little bit. The other one was too. Just kind of picked it up where it started dropping. A little subtle guy. A little blazing worm, guys. You know what it'd be doing. You know what it'd do. You hit him, dude. That's the Gregmatics of scoping these things. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's like, hello. Here I am. I don't know. You were there. You moved one. We're on that freaking edge again. All right, fishing freaks. We got one keeper. We actually had a few bites on that bank, but only came up with one solid little keeper though. You know, probably need four of those and then like a 12 pounder and we'll be fine. 12 pounder sounds about right. I've never caught one before, but we are together and magic tends to happen. You've caught a 12. You've caught a 14. 14, yeah. You can't say that without smiling. A 12 pounder caught a 12 pounder. I mean, I haven't caught a 12. I've caught a 14 though. All right, we're going to try another hole, guys. Fisher kind of everywhere. Some are suspended. Some are on the bottom. I liked what we were fishing there. It was kind of a transition area. That would be good for pre-spawn, going from deep channel with points, starting to flatten out. And there's a group of fish on it. Let's see if we can find some similar stuff. Yeah. That's what eateries kind of found there. I was kind of watching your fish, but then I saw a group in the tree that I was coming through and I just kind of worked it through there. Just kind of general area and then felt a good doinked. Seeing that from five feet away. It's another truck and drum. Spending 20 feet of water. It's my third non-bass species on this tree. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Go wherever you... I wasn't... Yeah, I wasn't in. Get it. Log into the matrix. So I got a sign in real quick. All right, JB. What do we got right now? What are we rocking? Oh my God, dude, I suck. We got some bass finally. Starting to find something. I'm getting bit. You're getting bit. We got two in the box. That's not bad. It's not great though. I had a couple of biggies on the scope. Yeah, missed a couple big bites, no doubt. I'm in a tree. That's the way she goes. All right, so what we got going on here, guys, is there are some little bassoids hanging around the trees. There's some shad. Got one on the slurping spoon. I actually had one good one come off on the slurping spoon, and John has had a couple on the swim jig. Yeah, I just forget to set the hook. That's my only issue. It's my only pitfall. Oh, he's got it. Yeah, that is a big one. I saw her turn. She's almost shad, dude. Should I get the net? Should I go ahead and get the net? They're not eating it well. That one I had earlier freaking choked it. I had one that absolutely swalled, but I don't know how you didn't get hooked. Nets out. No more fish would be caught. Yeah, literally. All right, made a little move. Did some scope, and we're going to try to worm a couple bad boys up here. Shake your head into blazing to see if we can kind of fill out. Fill out the rest of the box on. John B is on. Keeper-ish. My guy. My guy. I could not, but it would be a great time for it. Mid-day update, folks. There are thousands of fish in this lake, and we have two little decents. We got a couple hours of fish. It's coming in hot, y'all. 130 weigh-in. We got to get something going here. I'm itching. I'm itching for another bite, but it's a lot of boats moving around. People just... I don't think anybody's doing great. Somebody's got 25 pounds, but... It ain't us. Yeah, it ain't us. I think the majority of guys are... I haven't seen another fish boated. Usually, I think on this lake, you would see a lot of fish boated. It seems like now that the sun's coming out, they're kind of locking on in the trees a little bit more. I'm just hoping for, like, just a rando. A rogue four or five would be mint. One up for a sec. High seas of squaw. I'm gonna have to throw this jerky real quick. All the two of them. There's none of them with it. It's too thick. It's crazy. I was like, what is going on? Yeah, the other one looked a little bigger. I'm gonna do it. No. I'm not gonna do it. Back from the point. I don't think it was the deal this morning. It made me with the wind. Oh, God, that's a good one. Net me up. Net you up? Yeah. Smashed it. Hang on, it might be a drum. Yeah. Shut the f**k and clobbered it. I thought a boat would re-buck somebody drunk bastard. Oh, man. I thought that was gonna be three pounder. Be a caper. Doesn't feel like a bass. Be a caper. Need the net? Sure. No, don't need the net. Drum me up. Sat tilapia. It's tilapia. It's nice. Wow. Nice one, John. Salt to the moon, brother. Dude, if we were fishing a drum and tilapia term today. Yeah, let's hurt. It's a bass, dude. It's sizable. Fight him out. This could be a wayable. Perfectly calm spot. It was looking right at me. There's no shaking. No shaking. Of course he did. Yeah, this one has literally every hook possible. This one feels good. It's gotta be a drum. It's either a drum or a big one. It's a drum, baby. And then a good 20 pound sack of these today. Good drum. Good keep. Good keep, bro. Good keep. Keeps it down. Play him down. No, he ain't gonna make it. He's a short, squatty one. Baddest bass I've caught all day and he's short. It'll be tight. Smallest pliers ever right there. Come on, baby. Squeak out. Squeak out one time. Hey, what do you got on this? What do you got on this? Hey, is that touching? I think he's legal. Damn, dude. Get some. Did he come off? Dude, this is the second back of a pocket that they've been in. Oh, there we go, Johnny. Boy, that's a good one, bro. Get in that net, guys. Dude, we might squeak out a last minute. We might squeak out, man. Despite all the failures, that's a good one. That's my boy. That's my boy coming in clutch. Here we are, guys. The last GoPro battering, the last 15 minutes of the derp trying to finish out a limit. Just had a fish a minute ago that was a keeper. Would have finished it off. That would have given us five, but I lost it at the boat. Then we come up here in this stupid little pocket. I have no idea why. We were at the other wits end. The last few fish, they've come in the back pocket. We could get a limit. That's the goal right now. Try to get a limit. John just caught a nice one. I'll feel accomplished if we get a limit. Fish number five, baby. Me and John B, we're not getting skunked out here. Yeah, buddy. Five fish with like 12 minutes to go. Let's see if we can call one real quick. Final fish came on the old scout. One of my favorite colors that is the perch. I don't know why they like it, but they tend to get on it a little bit. What? It's all right, buddy. We'll get another one. We got a limit. Last minute, cold one time. And I just caught another drum. We got five minutes left. We're going to take it to the ramp. We ain't going to do well this dirt, but I'm anxious to see what Zaldane and Pangrack have. Let's see if we can get our little side bet. Key today. Last minute, limit. Never give up, baby. Never give up. One time for Ike and Ellie. Never give up. Never give up. 13. 13 with 30 seconds left. John Beazy. That's it. Strong finish, my guy. All five of us strong finish. Let's go see what we got. All right, going to the bump board. 13. John and Justin. One of our valiant finish. We could have two fish right now. It's not great, but we scrapped out. Justin Rackley and John Barzikini. Nailed it. Harder than to say. We got a photographer. 12.62 on the way. All right. Thank you. Legal. How the hell was that 12? I don't know, dude. Those are generous. I think the one you caught was actually pretty good. Really? Yeah. That could have been like three or something. I would just need to find out what Zaldane had. He played it right before. I know. Where'd he go? It's squirming. Steve Sinekoff. All right, we placed a little bet this morning. $100 bet with the boys here. I hope you beat us. We weighed 14.08. No, they did. They did. What did you guys have? We miraculously had 12 pounds. 12.62. Yeah. That's the only winning we did this week. 100 bucks. Tech gun. Well, we thought we were going to come up with two. Really? And then last like 30 minutes, we had like limited up. Wow. The drum were steady on the carpet. It's tough. Drum, huh? Really? It's all like 22-pound sack of drum. All right. All right. You got it moving, dude. It's time to get out. Celebrity. You got to get out of here. We'll see you guys later. All right. All right. Well, we lost. We lost our side dirt. Dude, we lost. We lost. Yeah. We lost poker. We lost the fishing tournament. We lost as I did. Pay Greg. Not good. Not good all around. Didn't do so well today. But we had a strong comeback. I'm still waiting for the results to come in. And I had not fished a tournament with John ever. And I'm glad we had a strong finish. And shout out to Fun & Sound for putting it on. This fishing rod can glow. It's a fishing lure. It's a slurpin' spoon. This one's actually not available yet. It's a little special run there. So I actually did catch some fish on slurpin' spoons.
