 Things have taken a turn that I really didn't want them to do. Here are the smallest. I got a hook in me. I got a hook in me. I got two hooks in me. Another video. Today we're going to be searching for giant bass with top waters, crankbaits, big jigs, anything you can really think about and we're going to make it happen. Got this beautiful first fish today on the old six cents topwater. All links will be down below. If you guys want to get a discount, I'll leave my discount code below as well if you're interested. But today we're going to try to put a hurting on these fish. And this is a good sign to catch one early on an old topwater. Whipped out my six cents bag. This thing's perfect when I carry it around to all these little bank fishing spots because you never know, especially when using treble hook baits like this. You guys want to make sure that you're prepared with obviously some pliers. I think everybody should always bring that and we'll be good to go from there. But that just pumps me up to catch a bass on topwater. It's been a while. That thing's beautiful right there. Let's get him back in the water. Beautiful fish. Beautiful colors. Pretty good. Let's see if we can get some more on this topwater. That's a really good sign that we got that early this morning. I was not expecting to get... I was really not expecting to get destroyed that quick right off the bat. But it sure happened, man. These fish during this fall pattern right now are pushing bait up shallow. And I was hoping to get on a little topwater bite. See if there'd be any aggressive ones and sure enough there was. It's about that time that we switch over from the topwater. We're going down the line. We got a topwater. We got a regular moving bait. And we have a slow moving bait. Now, next up on the menu for these bass is this old square bill. About a six cents. It's just a little natural shag color. We're going to give it a try. See if they're going to munch on something that's just moving below the surface. And maybe they don't want something all the way up on top, even though we did have some blow-up. So we know they're somewhat actively feeding. So we're going to throw around the square bill, see if we can hook us a big one. You guys are wondering what I'm doing with the square bill. This whole bank right here is filled with a bunch of boulders. I'm throwing the square bill. If you notice, I'm throwing it parallel with the bank. All I'm doing is I'm right here, right on the water. I'm walking down the bank, casting this thing parallel. There's a bunch of boulders. It goes all the way to about 15 foot off the bank. And I'm throwing the square bill around, knocking it on top of the boulders to hopefully see if there's a bass down there that's wanting to munch. So this can be a great way to catch a lot of fish. I'm fishing this very productively. I don't know why she had me right there. See, that one right there just short-struck it. But I'm fishing it very productively because I'm going down parallel. You don't see me just casting out in the middle of this place because at the end of the day, I want this square bill bumping off stuff. And mainly what I'm fishing are these boulders. So I'm not going to want to throw out there in the middle where there's no boulders. You know, I'm wanting to throw a parallel where my bait's in the strike zone the whole time. All right, we gave that square bill. It's fair to run. Now we're going to switch over to the sixth sense hybrid jig, the stroker crawl on the back of it. Now this is where everything really comes into play. So we covered a lot of this water, top water, standard moving baits. We didn't really have too much activity. You know, these fish might be slow today. So that's why, you know, I'm resorting over to this jig, a slower approach to see if those fish are actually in these rocks right now. But they're just super slow and they don't really want to chase anything. Once we do this, I'm going to show you guys another little trick that I'm going to do. If they don't bite this jig, that's okay. You know, I already have something else up my sleeve that may possibly work. But we're going to check this around for a little bit, see if we can get something out of slow. What? He didn't eat it all the way. He hammered it. You guys probably heard it in my rod, to be honest with you. Dude, you slapped the heck out of that jig right there. Mmm. All I heard is donk in my rod. Just never had it. It's a little weird. He's right on them rocks though. So they're acting a little weird. I had one slap that crank bait too. There he is. Dude! I pulled it out of his mouth the first time. That was actually a good fish. That was actually a good fish. I felt his weight behind him right there. Son. Well, I'm getting the bites on the jig right there. He's on that big old boulder pile. Just throw back in there. Gosh dang it. I think when I first lifted, I thought, Oh, there he is. He broke me off. Dude, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? God. That's why you gotta be careful with them rocks right there. Gosh dang it, man. That was a big fish. That was a freaking big fish. I felt him even better that second time. It's another learning lesson, man. This always happens to me. I swear this has happened to me so many times that I came out here. My line is so frayed. Look at all those frays in the line. These rocks are brutal. Even when you make 5, 10 casts, you probably got to retie. That was my mistake right there. I got something else in my little bait bag over here. Now we're going to pull out. That was a good fish, too, guys. That's probably the worst feeling you can ever get, especially when it seems to be a little tough. I think it's safe to say that as of right now, I think we're going to be doing a topwater only video. I'm about to cover a bunch of water, cover a bunch of ponds with this old walking bait by 6-10. See if we can catch some fish. That's the one fish that we had today. He's actually really aggressive. It happened very quick. With these over-gas conditions and these fish, you know, chasing bait up shallow right now, I think it's going to work. Hold up. I got to do a shout-out for clothing right now. Shout-out to Tracy for purchasing a KTV TV Jericho. If you guys want to check out other clothing, please do so, man. I really want to see a lot of people repping the merch. You can check it out. I'll leave a link down below. It really supports me, and I cannot thank you guys enough for that. But anyways, let's go ahead and get out here. Let's catch some fish on topwater.

Hit the notification bell, more importantly, and drop some comments down below for some killer video ideas. All right, boys. Got our topwater right here. Let's get it started. I actually saw a lot of bait on the bank walking down here. I came right here. We're about to make a crazy pair of little casts. I saw a bunch of bait fish right here. This should be money. We should get slammed. If you see bait, there's fish nearby. Oh, they're chasing bait right there. Watch this. Oh, my God. I landed literally right on them. But are you kidding me? Oh, my God. It landed in the water. Watch this. Let's get it back over there. Should get slammed. Big. Hammered it. This is actually a really big one. Gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Look at him. Oh, he choked it. He freaking choked it. He's not that big. What? I guess because I had him so down the throat right there. Look at that. Six-inch dogma right there. Freaking gets choked. That's exactly what you want to see. Oh, my gosh. Solid two-pounder. That's exactly how you want them to eat it right there. Oh, man. He's getting me pumped up. I mean, I'm been here long. Saw some fish chasing some bait up on the bank. Through the top water in there. This guy crushed it. Look at that right there. Beautiful fish. I don't know if he's quite two pounds. He's pushing it, though, with that thick body of his. That is awesome right there. He hammered that top water. I thought he was a lot bigger. He just had it down in his throat. Thank you for buying, buddy. Let's catch some more. Oh, dude, top water action. There's something about top water that there's nothing more. There's not another bait I'd rather be throwing. This is the one that I'm throwing. It's like a little natural color. It's got a chartreuse stripe down the middle, some blue on top, black head, and white body on the bottom. And for today, this is a really great color. Got a bunch of clouds in the sky, and I like to throw, you know, something that's white or like a bone color. This one is perfect. At the end of the day, you know the bottom of the top water is what the fish are seeing. You know, the top can look really cool, but at the end of the day, it's whatever the color on the bottom is for the most part, almost what they're going to see. So this one is perfect for these cloudy conditions that we got today. Let's see if there's fish feeding around this bridge. So I just changed my GoPro battery, and I actually saw one right here slam something on top, telling you there's some big fish from nearby right here. Here we go. Here goes nothing. We should get slammed. Oh my God, look at that big one right there. There's a huge one right there in front of me. I'm actually looking at his back. Oh my God. Oh my God. That was a mega. Hammered it. Hammered it. Oh my God. You have been munching, man. You have been just eating. I know you have. You ain't fooling nobody here. Oh my gosh, that feels amazing. I casted it in the perfect spot. Freaking, let me tell you, these hooks got them. Oh gosh, that was awesome. Perfect precision cast right there in that little cubby hole, and right when I casted there is a bunch of bait fish. Look how good and healthy that one is. It's just two pounder all day in a one pound body. Oh my God. So good. Look, he's going right back. Look right back to where he was. He's in that shallow cubby hole. It's only about six inches of water right there. That is how you want it. All right, folks. Here we go. Let's catch us a good one. Did he come off? No, he didn't. He's still on. Dude, he hammered that thing. He ain't even big. Oh my gosh, did you? You have been the most aggressive fighter all day. Congratulations. You're the smallest. I got a hook in me. I got a hook in me. I got two hooks in me. Yep. Pass the barb. Okay. On one of them it looks like it's passed the barb. Other one it doesn't. This is the first time I've ever got a hook in me. See, that one's fine. See, that one's in there good. Look at that. I mean, he's straight in my hand. I don't know what I'm going to do. That sucker hurts, too. It's my first time I got hooked. Some of them got hooked last episode. This was my turn. I'm shaking, man. First things first. Staying calm. Cut that sucker off. Things have taken a turn that I really didn't want them to do. I'm kind of stuck with a hook in my hand. If I can get it, I can't. It's aggravating. As you guys can tell right there, I'm trying to get it focused. It is straight in my finger. This is the first time I've ever got hooked. I'm by myself right now. I actually ended up having two in my hand on this top water. By the way, it's by six cents if you guys want to check it out. Yeah, so I'm by myself. I don't have anybody with me. I've never done this before. I guess it's time for me to drive home right now. I'm going to research some videos and figure out how the heck to get this thing out because it's not like it's an easy one where I can push it through the other side. This thing is dead in the middle of my thumb and it's pretty far in there. Like I said, I'll pull one of them out. Let's go ahead and get to my house and figure out how we're going to do this. No, no, no. Your dog's not out. I was seeing if you're home. Yeah. Can you come outside real quick? I got something I need your help with real quick. Okay. Call my neighbor. I'm going to see if he has any cutters where I can at least get this hook off my hand and then we can figure out how to get it out. That's a lesson learned. You know, you should always have some wire steps, snips or cutters nearby. So boys, that hook is out. That is it right there. It's in my finger. My neighbor's going to get some peroxide and a Band-Aid. I'm lightheaded. This is all it can be. Let me tell you. I don't know. It didn't hurt that bad. I'm just... I feel like I'm about to freaking pass out. That's my only problem. I'm fine. Well, people, thank you so much for watching this video. If you could freaking smash that subscribe button and hit the like button for this one right here. That is the first time I've ever been hooked in the finger. And to explain the pain, to be honest with you, it wasn't that bad when it was coming out. I just told him to yank it. You know, I actually called my dad. Surprisingly, Big Steve knew how to take a hook out when he's never been hooked himself. But he was watching a video and he was telling me through the phone, he's never taken a hook out before either. That was interesting, man. That was really interesting. But when he yanked it, you know, I told him, I was like, just do it. It didn't hurt. You know, it was done. But the problem was getting it off that bait and I just got like lightheaded. I feel like I'm about to die. I was going to go back out and go fishing. But I'll just say, I feel drunk, okay? I'm a little tipsy right now. So I'm going to go lay down for a little bit. Maybe I'll get back out later. But thank you guys so much for watching. I love you guys so much. I'll catch you guys in the next video.
