Right here, I got my boy, first state fishing. How's it going dude? Finally got him down here. I'm telling you, we've been trying to plan a trip for so long. Oh my God, several hurricanes, and just so much crazy stuff, but we're out here today man, we're gonna catch it. We're making it happen. We got my boy Fletcher the fisherman. I know you guys don't know him. He's only been in a hundred episodes the last couple months. Haven't been in any kick in their catfish TV. We got my boy Aida, man. I'm the coolest out of everybody. That's why I'm last, you know what I'm saying? You haven't seen my boy Aida. I'm about to go out here, I'm about to catch him. I'm about to catch him. I'm about to catch him. Actually, no, I'm not gonna catch him. I'm gonna kill him, honestly. You're gonna kill him? Yeah, I'm gonna smoke these boys. We got a little competition. We're actually gonna like smoke both of you. Like you better have brought your A game, and probably like better than your A game because... Bro, you're crazy. Yeah, you're crazy. Like it's gonna happen. This is perfect. All right, all right. If the bite is like we think it's gonna be. By the way, pressure's dropping, storm's coming in. It's windy. It's windy. They should be eating. It's so windy. Like they should be eating. I mean, look at the clouds. I mean, it's like... Overcast today. So what do you think, bro? 40 fish? You think it's like a 40 fish day? A 40 fish day, I think. I don't know. Between everybody? Between everybody? I don't know about each now. You're getting a little too crazy. I'll be getting 40 for myself. I don't know. Okay, what do you think? At least like 60. We're gonna have some fun guys. Thank you for clicking on this video. More importantly, thank you guys for the support recently. I'm gonna get your butt, bro. It's gonna be a good video, man. We're gonna try to catch some bass and just have a good time overall. So we're gonna hop into this one. Hit that like button. If you guys wanna see some more collab videos, we're gonna be filming a ton. They're gonna be down here for probably like five more days. Fletcher's gonna be down here too. And then we got a mystery guest coming very shortly. So it's gonna be fun, man. Let's go ahead, hop on the boat, try to catch some fish. More importantly, smoke these fools. Let's get it. All right, so we're out here today. We're gonna be trying some top water fishing. You guys know I love top water fishing. Pressure's dropping right now and a big storm coming in. So I'm thinking it's gonna be good. We got a ton of wind today. I do apologize about that. It's ridiculous. But I got this speed wake right here. So A-dub has been throwing the heck out of this. I have tried it two different days and I haven't had any luck. But I just think it was the day, you know, the fish weren't eating top. So we're gonna try it today. The movement of this thing is disgusting, which I'll show you guys on the GoPro. If you guys do wanna get 10% off, I'll pop up my code on the screen. But we're gonna try it out today and see if we can catch some bass on it. If we don't, we're gonna adjust and see if we can catch some more fish on different baits. But for the most part, we're gonna stick with some top waters, try to cover some water and hopefully catch a giant today. So let's get it. Let's get it, Mike. By the way, I got Mike on the boat right there behind the camera. Got a fletcher over there. It's gonna be a good day. Let's go ahead and get it started. All right, so we got this mock smash on a mock crush, not the sexiest thing in the world, but that has been my top water combo for about a month now and it's worked perfectly fine and I haven't really wanted to change it. So this I believe is called ShadSense. That's the color. It's a beautiful natural color. I'm gonna be honest, this color right here, I'd rather throw in a sunny day, not cloudy conditions like right now. But I think it's gonna work either way. If I had to pick and I had multiple colors, I would throw more of a bone and a white color on a cloudy day, that would get munched. On the sunny days, when it comes to baits like this, even big swim baits or wake baits, top waters, for the most part, I like throwing the most translucent natural colors on sunny days and that's exactly what I'm throwing. But like I said, I think it's gonna be fine. We're just gonna have to get out here and try it. I'm gonna go ahead and throw this thing in the water see if we can get the cool shot of this thing running. It does have a little bit of a ripple, so let's go ahead and get today started. Look what it's saying. You guys can tell this is like a freaking giant. This is a nine inch. Oh, oh, dude, no way. He bit it three times, dude. You already got bit it? Yeah, bro, just, he bit it three different times. I don't know how I didn't hook him. That was crazy. All right, guys, I'm gonna throw this in the water right here. Let's see how this thing moves. Oh, look at that. That is disgusting. I don't know how well you guys can see that. I know there's a little bit of chop on the water, but pretty much what a wake bait is, normally if you throw a normal wake bait, you wanna throw it when it's dead calm outside, but this one's actually designed to reel at the maximum speed so you can reel this thing a lot faster and I'm able to throw it in this wind today. So I'm excited to see if we smoke some on it. So let's go ahead and get it started and see if we can catch a big bass. I don't hook pine straw the whole time. Should be one around this duck. I've had two hit this, but they're not getting pinned. This actually is the wrong rod. I shouldn't be throwing it on this rod. I thought this was my medium heavy, not my heavy. Switch up if I keep missing fish. All right, guys, so I'm actually gonna switch this rod. Like I said, it's a heavy rod. I didn't think it was my heavy and I'm not gonna allow myself to miss more fish. There's no point and even waiting. I was like, if I miss one more, there's no point in that. I already know it's gonna be better off if I switch over to my other combo. So we're gonna go ahead and do that right now. We're gonna take this smash reel off. We're gonna put it on this other crushed rod which is a medium heavy and we should be good. All right, guys, we're good now. We got my good rod on, so we should be set. Now we can hook some fish. Oh, look at that. First cast just had one destroy it. Wow, why did he not eat it? It's crazy. Throw it back in there. The problem is the guys on this side of the bank, all this wind's pushing up in it. Pine straw everywhere. Every time I cast out there, I got a piece of pine straw on which obviously that fish isn't gonna bite it with pine straw on it. So, look at that, right there, dude. That was insane. So small. I threw it in there, dude. The moment it hit the water, I didn't even reel it. Okay, calm down, bud. We got our first fish. First fish on the Speedwake ever, actually. My first fish ever on this thing. I threw it under those trees. That's the sad part, guys. I wish I was throwing like a frog and something I can get under there, just a little bass. But look how fat that thing is. A little fatty. It's a small one. Thing is, guys, if I had like a frog or something I could skip under these trees, it would be unreal. But I'm gonna keep trying the Speedwake. We might switch up to a frog. We can play around with it. If I can get a frog under there, guys, you're gonna see some crazy footage. We'll try the Speedwake for a little bit longer because we've had some bites on it. And if we have to, we'll switch up to that frog. See, I just keep getting that pine straw. All right, guys, I gotta do it. There's so much pine straw. I can't even throw this. We're gonna tie it back on in a little bit. But for right now, I'm gonna put on a frog. Since this is just a topwater video, we're just topwater fishing with whatever. Now you guys are about to see some insane footage, so stay tuned. We're gonna skip this frog way up in them trees and it's gonna be dirty. Now we got the Vega frog on. I guess they're about to watch it happen. Wait, chatter bait or jig? Um, you put a chatter bait on, I think, a munch. All right, this should be it. Horrible. Horrible cast. Oh, look at this. That was weird. It just like pulled it under and didn't eat it. Oh my gosh. Disgusting. Look at that. Tell me how that's possible, bro. Did a perfect skip in between them fillers and somehow stuck on some wood. That is not coming off. That's a good one. Look how big his head is, dude. It should be like a three pound fish, like two pounds. Oh, wow. Look at that thing. Okay, bud. Okay, bud. Come on, come on. Look at that one. It's not a bad fish. It's a giant head. His head's like a solid three pound head and a two pound body. Look how skinny he is. That's funny. Right there on the frog of coming down this bank game at the pine straw so I can get this frog up under the trees. Look at what it mikes are on. Show them what you're throwing, dude. That's just dumb. It's like a giant goldfish just picking up a bunch of nasty stuff. That's a good fish right there. Good little fish. That one ate the frog. That one wasn't playing. So weird, you either haven't just not eaten it or that one just choked it. It's weird. Oh, oh, dude, there's a big bass. Dude, that was the dangle bite. That was so cool. Oh, man. He was roaming the edge, dude. And I saw him and I, he just saw my frog dangling from that tree. Look how he ate it that time. I love how the fish can't eat it when it's in the water. But when it's in the tree, they just like demolish it. That's funny. It's a pretty fish right there, guys. Man, that was cool. See, on cloudy conditions like today is, you know, these bass are gonna be roaming a little bit more. I'm not throwing the right baits today. I'm just being stubborn. But, you know, I'm getting bites here and there on the top waters. So, beautiful little guy. Nothing big, still haven't found them giants, but we're gonna keep hunting. That was so cool. I like saw him there and I saw him turn his head when he saw my frog hanging there. Really? Yeah, that was crazy. I thought he was big, dude. I thought he was like four pounds. He looked huge when he flashed. Another reason to not throw topwater guys when you're not supposed to. Dude, that was a good bite. Throw it in there, Mike. I'll let you have that one. All right, guys, I'm actually going to, I know it's topwater video, but, you know, I'm gonna tell him to chatter, don't I? Just to see, I want to show you guys some catches and, like I said, today's not the best day for top. You know, you got to adjust to the fishing conditions. I don't care what the video is. You know, if I don't want to adjust, then I'm not going to have the fish that you guys want to see in the video. There's somebody talking to him. Oh, gosh, that's a good one. Choke that chatter bait. Yeah, dude, right at the boat. He's just loaded up on it. Not a bad one. Not a bad one, boys, on the chatter dunk. Oh, yeah. I miss the old chatter dunk, boys. Dude, their heads are so big and their bodies are skinny. Actually, that's probably the best one. It's easy, two and a half. Look how he ate it. Oh, he didn't check it too bad. There we go, guys. We had to put the topwater down for a minute, pick up a old chatter dunk, old reliable, and that is almost a three pounder. That is awesome right there. That fish is way more filled out than the other ones. It's a pretty fish. Thank you, buddy. Thank you so much for biting. Eat me right at the boat. There we go, guys. That was our first fish on normal bait today, non-topwater, just to try to get some fish in the boat because they acting a little weird. He ate that thing a little further off the bank, which makes sense. Like I said, on cloudy days, fish roam a little bit more, rather than roaming the grass edge, roaming the edge of them lay-downs. You know, this fish, when them clouds get up like that, they start roaming a lot more. So, there's something to think about and that fish ate me at the boat. So, you know, with that being said, we might need to be off the bank a little bit more. Got another one. That was crazy, guys. Pretty fish. He's actually a really light bite, very light bite, pound and a halfer, chatter dunk. Beautiful guy. That's wind is cooking. He choked it, though. It's crazy how I barely felt him bite it and he ate it the best out of any fish today. Pretty guy. Beautiful markings on that bass, nothing big, but got a love catching him. You got you one? Oh, oh. Oh my God. No. What is our luck, dude? We almost had a double up there. Mike spit the jig, of course. That's our luck. Man, I have been reeling this thing a lot slower, too. It's just one thing I realized. That might've been why they weren't eating that trap. You know, it might've been a little, yeah, they weren't eating that top four either. They're just, you know, I thought they'd be biting a little better today. That pressure dropping, storm blowing in. There he is, right there. That's a good one. Yeah, baby. Chatter dunk, guys. You can't put this thing, that's a good one. Wow. Best fish today. That one's over three pounds, I'm pretty sure. Does he only have a three pound head? Is it the only? Yeah, it's a three pound head. You tricked me. He's almost three pounds. He might be three pounds. That's a big head, dude. Look at that. That's a three pound fish. I'm going down here. All right, look at the head. Look at the head on that. Like, that is just, that might be a three pound, or it's probably two and three quarters. I wouldn't even, look at the head. That's a three and a half, four pound head right there. That's a good fish right there, though. Beautiful bass, man. Crunch that chatter bait. I just love it, guys. I love throwing the chatter dunk. I've taken long breaks from that thing, because last year, that's literally all I threw for like 10 months straight, so. Catch one like that, man. Brings me back to the good old days. That's a solid, that's a three pounder all day. Now we just need that four number. That one ate it off the dock, too. I just think they're Roman, and I think us staying off the bank like this is what's going to give us a bit. All right, guys. Since this was going to be a top order video, I kind of want to talk about fish behavior in certain conditions, and why the fish are acting the way that they're acting today. So a couple things that I've picked up on today and that I've already known I've just been really stubborn about is today is an overcast day, okay? And right now, when it's overcast, this is one thing to think about. When you got a ton of clouds in the sky, especially heavy winds, how it is now, what that's going to trigger in my brain on a bunch of other fishermen's brains is this fish are roaming one, because the clouds are out, and two, they're going to be chasing a moving bait, therefore, because they're roaming. If it was a sunny day, we might want to pick up that jig, that worm, something on the bottom that they're going to be positioned under those trees. They're going to be positioned under some of these smaller docks, and they're going to eat something that's slower that you can get under there and just shake in front of their face. So today, the thing is, they want a moving bait. Cloud covers up, the wind's up, the pressure's low, the fish are roaming, the fish are eating baitfish. So they're going to eat these little shad baits, just like this chatter bait right here. Another thing with that top water, oh my gosh, I just had one right there, actually watched them eat it. So this is the thing, when it goes down to the top water today, usually when you had these 100 degree days, which right now it isn't, we have a storm pushing in, but with how consistent the summer's been with these 100 degree days, you're either going to catch them in the morning or the late afternoon on the top water, at least that's when you're going to get a really good top water bite. You know, the conditions weren't setting up for me to catch them on these top waters today. You could already tell, another thing I was paying attention to is how the fish were eating the bait. You know, they were just coming up and they weren't eating it. And there's two different scenarios to that. They're either coming up and not eating it because they don't want top water, or they're coming up and not eating it because it's the wrong color, which in my last episode, I talked about how I like to use a black frog on cloudy days and a white frog on sunny days. Well, if you guys saw what I was doing, I was throwing that white frog on a cloudy day. They weren't eating it. So that could have been one of the reasons. So it's just a couple of things I wanted to talk about. And the reason I switched up to this, and I think it's a great example, you know, when it's cloudy out, you got the wind moving, pick you up a chatter bait, pick you up a spinner bait, pick you up a jerk bait, pick you up a bait that you can cover water with. And another important thing is stay off the bank a little bit more because this bass could be roaming. So next time you go out, if you're having trouble, you know, throwing the normal bait that you do, if you're in cloudy conditions, pick you up a moving bait, pick you up something that you can throw around and go try it. Especially with this fall bite that's gonna be picking up very soon, which we're gonna have a bunch of videos about. We're gonna go in depth with it, but let's keep on fishing, it's enough talking. Oh gosh. Yeah, that's the biggest one today. That is the biggest one today. Maybe. Yeah. That's definitely. Yeah, that's a freaking nice thing. Dude, you choked it. Eat that thing good. Guys, look at how that one ate the chatter bait. Look at that, you can't even see it from the side. That's insane. That's one of the biggest fish today. Easy three pounder. That is a good one, man. His fish have been so skinny with big heads on him, but this is one of the more balanced fish. It doesn't have a huge belly, but he's not as skinny as the other ones. And that is a beautiful fish right there. You just choke that chatter bait. It's crazy because I've had three bites before this that weren't eating it. And then this one just chokes it right in the back of his throat. But that's a beautiful fish right there. Get him back in the water. It's been a beautiful day outside. And that's why you gotta love fishing right there. Here she goes. There we go, guys. That is, I'd say the biggest fish today. We've had two pretty dang good ones. It's funny how these big ones are biting. One thing I didn't say earlier either is working this bait really slow. I'm having to really reel it in patiently. And all of a sudden, you know, they're not hammering it. They're just loading up on it. So all of a sudden you just, you don't feel that blade vibrating anymore, or you just feel, you know, one hard load up. And that's when you get that fish. You know, they're not really clocking it. You know, some days it'll come out and they'll just be hammering that thing. But that's not how they are today. And having the realest thing slow, be patient with it. Big ones are loading up.
