 I think it might have hit the breaker at the house. Hello ladies and gentlemen. Hey, don't worry about these sunglasses. They're temporary. That's Rob Silhouette right there actually. He's waiting patiently. Jump cables. You know what those are good for? Jumping stuff. I swear, every time. Every time I get with this dang guy, something happens. So the boat is out of power right now. It's not working. I gotta lift the trim or the trim. It's dead, so I'm not sure what happened. Just called fun and sun. They said make sure to connect positive, positive, negative, negative on trolling motor battery. Should be able to get a little juice. Once it fires, alternator kicks in, then you're good to go. We were ready to hit the water. Got a nice, calm, smooth day here, and then that happens. So part of it, y'all. Part of it. Well, we're going to get it figured out. Rob, it's time to get in there and get it dirty and not get shocked. Can you see the positive over there? Yeah, this side's positive right here. Well, let's do the easiest one first. Got a little spark there. Don't touch your face with it. What do you want me to do with it? Hang on. Yeah, yeah, just unhook first, because this one's easier. Here's your camera. That's recording. It's recording my face right now. Now to our, hopefully, no explosions. OK, we're connected, so should be getting some power, or we can hopefully get this thing trimmed up, get it in the water, get it started, and continue on. Oh, yeah, baby. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, we're going to leave those hooked up, then we're going to put it in the agua. We're going to get it going eventually. You know, I never quite made it on the tour. This might be why. Wow, we've had a lot of water here in Texas lately. I think it's caused some problems. Moment of truth about to happen. See if we can get this thing to fire. I hope so. That'd be a bad thing. Come on, baby. It's a no-go. Crap. Not getting much out of it. OK, ladies and gents, me and Rob are fishing our way into power. We're literally waiting for the batteries to, what do you call it, transfer the power. We're trying to target some smallmouth today. The water temps haven't turned on the graphs yet, but if they're over 57, that's wonderful. That probably means that they're really doing it and spawning because it's full moon. If not, let's blow that and probably got some ones that are thinking about it. But either way, I know they live here. OK, ladies and gentlemen, we have kind of played around here for an hour or so by a trolley motors seeing some effects. It's going down. It's not looking to have electrical problems today. So we're going to attempt to kick on the old engine here. Oh, we can go somewhere else? Well, we got the motor started, fishing a point here. But the trolley motor now seems to be dying. We're going to have to go to the dam because we're losing power. And I'd kind of like to stay fairly close. This water is about 10 degrees colder than what I thought it was going to be. So that, or we go into one of these creeks so that it's warmer. Well, we've traveled the lake a little bit and discovered that the warmest water we could find are now 49. Just ran up in a creek. Pretty good ways. Water's so muddy back here, though. Just don't think it's good. Or we just fish really slow like that guy in a pocket. Just get snagged on a rock. He's probably just sitting there because it's out of the wind. But honestly, it looks like the worst pocket ever. OK, hello. Hey, how you doing? Oh, I just got hammered. I don't know what this is. Dude, it hammered me. Oh, it's a striper. Oh, my gosh. It's a big one. It just hammered me. Hammered me on a crawl. Oh, my gosh. There he goes. Dude, there's more. There's more down. Oh, my gosh. This thing freaking cranked it. We got one of these fish here. Dude, I'm just cast. Sorry, I was going to make a freaking deposit. How big is he? Dude, look at the graph. I don't know if those are striper or smallmouth, but that is a big striper, buddy. That's not that one. Get him in here. Get him in here. Get him in here. Oh, my gosh, bro. Dude, look at the fri- I've got it on spot lock, so we haven't moved. Dude, are you kidding me? On a freaking crawfish rattletrack? I got 12-pound test. This is extreme fights right here. Oh, man. Getting the old six-dick of workout, bro. I think I got it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. Easy. I think I got it. I mean, this guy's, look how big it is. Come here. Give me your face. Give me your face. Oh, my gosh, bro. Look at the bait. What are we doing here? I'm throwing a lipless bait. I got hit once, and I was like, oh, that's probably a smallmouth, and then it just got freaking stroked by this thing. It's only 20 feet. This fish is cold, man. Cold. Holy cow. I mean, I'll take a daggum. I'll take a fight from one of those things. Nice surprise there. OK, Rob's hooked. Does it feel big? Does it feel big? It could be a smallmouth. No, it's a striper. It's going, dude. They might be together. They could be together. Those head shakes are big, though. Those head shakes are freaking big. Dude, we got to get a double picture. We're going to get a double picture. I can't even fit this in my live well, dude. What are you doing? Dude, we are on the juice. I know. I know. It's got to be a striper. Yeah. Hook fell out and I got him. I knew he was about to come on. Dude, we just got freaking cracked. Cracked with two juice droppers right there. I'm not going to lie. That feels really good. That feels really good. That makes me feel good. I'll take that all day. And you caught him on a lip with 20 foot of water. Yeah. Hey, that's what these smallmouths were doing a couple of years ago. On this rod just gets flung out there. That bait right there is like 10 feet down. It just stops. It just stops. It's like I'm on a rock, but it's moving. And it starts zinging. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo. It's a good idea. There's some below us right now. Guarantee if you had a slab. If you had a slab. I'm going to put a slab on. We do need to put a slab. I don't know if you can get it on that quick, but we need to have it ready. Oh. Oh. Yes. Oh, the drag has slipped. I have no drag. Oh, hey, hey, where are you going? OK. Welcome to the program. OK, I have a big one. OK. Yeah, I threw a kind of out left. Oh, man, it's heavy. It's heavy. Yeah, it's heavy. It's a zinger. Oh, it's not as big as the last one. It's not as big as the last one. I just had my drag kind of loose. I like when you're fishing a crankbait and it just stops. Get crushed. Bosh. Now I'm kind of thinking like, what else would they eat? Because we're literally just throwing bass lures. Oh, I think once they see the boat, it's just over. Nothing like it, baby. This six-stick, this is a 7'4 medium heavy. You can freaking whip a crankbait a mile. And it's just like a shock absorber. Look at him. He's like, I want to get it out of my face, but I can't. There's too much rebound. Oh, yeah. That's fun. I don't care who you are. That's fun. That's probably a, I don't know, six or seven pounder. The old Swirlie. That's what I've been catching him on. Look at that. Just freaking hammered it. Look at it. Dude, you're straight bent. You're just straight bent right now. Power. Wow. No way. This is on that one? Holy cow, dude, first cast. You were getting, you were getting taken. Go to the back of the boat, bro. Yeah, he's going out into deep water. Yeah, you may want to lose it because when they see the boat, it just starts ripping. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Look at him. Dude, that's so fun. That's, Rob got walloped first cast with that crankbait that we pulled up off the bottom. This thing has made a full circle around the boat now. What if he's an absolute mondo of a striker? That wasn't a big crankbait. No, I wasn't. It was just in that six foot range. Yeah, he's making the last one for sure. Oh yeah. Yeah. The fun bites. Dude, it's gone. Crankbait's gone. Look at that. Crankbait is gone. He has all of them gone. What pound test you got on there? Pretty light, huh? 12 or 15, 15. That's good. Yes. Oh, look at him. He wanted it. That is sick. There we go. That is that lure we found. Well, you basically caught it. I caught it. I'm pretty proud of that one. I'm going to go ahead and just clip it and take it out the easy way. All right, I'm going to need some help here holding his mouth open. OK. Mondo. You want to take a photo for me? Heck yeah. Love you, baby. Love you. That's fun. That's more than fun. There's an old dude right here. Thank god I changed out those hooks, huh? Yeah. First cast just gets crushed. And then the slime. No, it was a lipless crank. Oh, oh, yeah. Got him. Yeah. They're back. I don't think it's a showstopper. I just saw the boil out there. See that long cast? Oh, it came off. Yeah, it came off. Got him. Yeah. Well, I think my drag's not set, huh? Jeez. Hello. Got a little weight. Dude, that is a freaking tank. That's a long one, bro. Absolutely. Choke that. That's a freak. That's a freak. Look how gone. Yeah, good thing you changed the hooks. Jeez, dude. Look how long that one is. That is for sure the longest one of the day. Let's get a picture. Dude, look. Oh my god. It's as long as your leg. That is huge. Yeah. Oh, he's so like smallmouth. That is 100% a smallmouth, isn't it? We now have a smallmouth, yep. It's not a striper. It's coming up. It's a good smallmouth, dude. It's a good smallmouth. Yeah, it's Texas smallmouth, baby. There we go. Oh, that is a good smallmouth. I told you, buddy. I told you, buddy. That's a giant smallmouth. Oh, no. Sorry. Sorry. I got excited. You want to grab for me? No slag, tell me. Nice fish. That's a slab, smally on a slab. Smally on a slab. Look at that. Look at that, baby. What about a football? Got to love it. It's a thick, thick smallmouth. It's awesome. When they hammer down, there's just fast. I think he's actually eating it. Like he actually said, I want that in my stomach. Well, you want to stick your hand down there for me again? They got such a ton of mouth. Pliers might be. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, yes. Just another tanker. There's another one, aren't there? Damn. All I really want is a freaking tank on a smallmouth. I'm telling you, this is the way to do it. This is the way to do it. It's like a fly. They hang around these stripers. I don't know. He hit it and just swam under the boat. And I was like, hello. Welcome to the show, definitely striper. So hooked up on a slab right now. I mean, Rob had been throwing slabs on this wall right here, kind of a cool story for you guys while I'm fighting this fish. My biggest smallmouth still to this day has come from this lake fishing slabs or spoons on these big rock ledges like this. Super efficient way to fish deepwater. There's different stair steps coming out. There's like a drop from 10 to 20, 20 to 40. And Rob just caught that smallmouth doing the same thing. And he will catch Motherhurst too, for sure. I'm just getting the old LFG rod bent right now. Wow. Hello. Hello on the drag. Oh, turn to that way. He's coming. He's coming up. That's a good size. Did you hit it right in the top of the head? I might have. Did you see that? Dude, he hit it and he like. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He just, whoo. Fairly. Look at that. I think he's got it. No, no, it's in the top of his head. You're right. Give me your face. Give me your face. It's hard to grab your face when there's no lure in it. It's literally just a slab of lead with a hook on it. Thought is. And as soon as they sit in the bottom, we're jigging it up and we're letting it fall down that edge. And there's the striper. And there's some smallmouth mixed in. Woo. Man, that's woe. You've tackled him back to life. That's just so fun. If you guys take a look right here, take a look at this, you're going to see there's one of those fish like off the ledge. So anyway, ooh, man, we're out. Battery problems. Guys, I apologize. These, it's not me. It's not my look. Trust me. I'm not trying to be a ski reset here. It's just the only ones I could pick up at the MTB house today since Perik broke my other ones. Still got to get another pair. OK, we're out of power. Sound good. Rob's on a drop shot up there. Just trying to send one home. I'm going to try to crank. I just put the deals on, put the old cables on, try to run a little power. If it does, you just want to go on if it cranks. OK, confirmed. We will. OK, there's nothing. Not a single lick of nothing. Huh. Not good. Not good at all. Please. Please start. Yeah. That's a good feeling. I think we end on this good stroke of luck here with the motor starting. And when, OK, there's a spark. When you get a sign, you get a sign. Sometimes that sign is go in and have a sandwich. Thank you, point. Ladies and gentlemen, we have successfully made it back to the boat ramp. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. That is a good feeling. I'm going to take these ridiculous things off. I'm going to bury the sun just for you guys so you don't remember me, your last moments with me for the day aren't like that. I mean, Rob came out today. And we were kind of going for some smallmouth. But then things were getting a little tough. We said, you know what? Let's just start rolling around, trying some different things. And then we found this great point that had these big, big striper feeding on it. And almost always out here on this lake, you got smallmouth mixed in there. I mean, have you ever caught a striper that big? It was like 12 or 13, right over there. Oh, well, it was over here. Same place. I was going to say, that's some of the biggest consistent. That was the longest striper I've ever caught in my life. That one that was like. Long as your leg. That's the longest striper I've ever caught in my life. We were like, let's just stay down with the stripers today because that's maximum fun. And we might end up catching a smallmouth. And you freaking pig. He caught a football, a nice, chunky football. Go check out his channel if you want to see more. Anyways, guys, a lot of fun today. Subscribe right here to this channel if you want to see more. If you like these sunglasses, let me know in the comments. If you don't, I already know that you don't. And one more thing here, if you want to check out these slabs because they are a really good thing to have in your tackle box. We're talking about deep water fishing this time of year. They're like a dollar. You can pick them up at a bunch of different places, search them online. I think those are called Silver Dollars. They'll be the best dollar to you ever spend when you're trying to fish deep water. Strippers, smallmouth, good day.
