 As you all can see behind me, we got a small pond and we're gonna be trying to fish for some big bass today. Been a minute since we've been out on this beautiful little pond. I mean it's not big at all, but there's some really big fish in here and I'm just super excited to see if we can catch some because it's been months since we've been out here. We got a few special guests on the channel today. So we're gonna go over here, we're gonna rig up, introduce them and then we're gonna hop right into it and see if we can catch some big fish. That's the plan on today's video. We're just trying to hunt for some really big ones. We actually went out fishing yesterday. You guys can go check out the video on my channel. It's fishing a 100 year old pond and I ended up missing like a 10 pounder. So we gotta get revenge today, guys. We have to catch some big ones. If you guys are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell. Also hit the like button. Share this video with a friend. Let's go ahead and hop into it. So we got cold dub. Let's get it, dawg. Let's go, baby. And then we got Fletcher. Let's get it, man. How are you? What's up? Today, I make up for the last time we went fishing, okay, yesterday, where you just smoked. The fish were not having it and then you missed that giant there at the end, but today we're out here at this little small pond and we actually have caught quite a few. A lot of big ones. I mean, a lot of quality sized fish out here. And I know we missed one that was like pushing like probably eight or nine pounds. So the potential is here. It grows big ones for some reason, but we're just gonna get in here see if we can't find ourselves a nice one. We're gonna try a variety of things, see what they're munching on. And once we're dialed in, hopefully we find that big one. All right, y'all, we are rigging up so cold dub over here. He's got a chattered donk on the kicking combo. I think I'm gonna probably do the same. I mean, this thing just catches really big fish. And yesterday, this is a key bait, wasn't it Flush? Yeah, that thing was getting smoked. Yeah, this bait was just getting torn up. So he's got that paired up on the kicking combo. I got mine down here as well. If you guys wanna check them out, they're only available on kickinthebast.com. We're gonna tie this up and get started. I'm hoping, what's our goal today, boys? My what, like big fish goal? I think we need a five pounder. Five pounder? At least a five pounder. I feel like that's the gold standard. You know, one five pounder. I feel like, you know, we're in the big fish club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, I'm gonna be real though. I think we can get a six. For some reason around this time of year, like November, I just end up getting a lot of big bites. Oh yeah? Usually ridiculous bites. Like I'm talking eight to 12 pounders. I don't know why, but this time of year, for some reason produces some big fish. So if you guys are wondering about the chattered onk, this is actually a ThunderCricket by Striking. Check them out down below of a discount code. But this is the White and Chartreuse, regular chrome blade. And on the back of this, we're gonna pair it up with just a standard little rib tail swim bait. So we're pairing it up. This is a standard rage swimmer. I don't have a white one, but it's just like. That's like a smoke. Yeah, the smoke translucent one, it should be. Should be fine. I think it's the same one you got, right? Yeah. Oh yeah, it looks sexy right there. I'm telling you, this is a big fish bait, guys. Still put them in the water, see if we can do it. Okay guys, we're going with the Net-Ocho, little finesse style bait, and we got a Monk Shad tied on, and then I threw a ThunderCricket in my pocket, but a different color than those guys. Noah said the water was looking a little bit murky, so I grabbed a black and blue, but it ain't that murky. Well, we're gonna start out with the Monk Shad. See if we can't get something going with this. I haven't thrown this in here yet, so I just wanted to give it a shot. See if I can get some spicy bass to come up and crush this thing. I love how this Monk Shad suspends. Like when you pause it, that's a really nice flutter and suspension to it. Just a very slow sink. I feel like it has a good action for this kind of like finicky weather. So boys, this pond has some biggings lurking. Usually every time we come out here, we end up hooking into a really solid one. I believe the last time I was out here, I lost one that bleeds around seven, eight pounds. So hopefully we'll get onto a few of them today. My plan with this chatter bait is to throw it out there, let it hit the bottom, and just slow crank this thing. I'm talking just really slow. We had a big cold front blow in. It's been 35 to 45 degrees every day today. It's about 55, which is a little warmer than it's been. I'm hoping these fish are gonna turn up, but they were so finicky yesterday, but we ended up catching them on this really good. But we had to work it a certain way. You can't just throw it out there and just reel it in. We had to throw it out there. I got to be into to cross that pond. Let it sink to the bottom and just slow crank this puppy. Nothing crazy. And it was load up on it, we'll eat it. One thing we got to be careful with in this one is the grass, there's a good bit of slop. Oh, there we go. First fish, not the giant we're after, but we're on the board. That's refreshing. It took me two hours to get a bite yesterday when we went fishing. So I'm glad I got one in the first two minutes instead of the first two hours. Right in front of that pipe? Yeah, I mean, kind of like right, yeah, kind of right in front of that for the most part. Thanks for the munch there, little pipsqueak. Get you back right on in there. All right, Mark, shout out, I see you. I see you. Let's just find something bigger, man. Something big, something girthy, come out and crush this thing. All right, let's see who's gonna get on the big one, boys. I don't know, boys. I just have a feeling I'm gonna be the guy. I'm going to be him. I'm himmyneutron today. First challenge didn't go so well, but we just battle. We just continue to battle, focus on the task at hand and never ever lose faith. We're gonna move around left. I'm gonna move around right. They might notice something I don't know, but you know what? Maybe once in a while, your boy gets real lucky. Oh my gosh, right there's a bang, man. Holy smokes. There you go, watch that. Goodness gracious, man. Is that a fat, small fish? That thing is chunky. Get these hooks out of here. The hooks on these mock baits are just insanely sharp. Thank you for the bite there, fella. Yeah, I just had a bite right there. All right, I'm gonna spread it up and slow it down and hit it. So weird. Bro, I've had three bites right here. You nibbling at it? Like three casts in a row. He's just not eating it all the way. Might be small. All right, guys. I think we are going to move spots. It's just not, you know, caught a couple of fish here, but they're not the size that we want. Purpose of today's video is to find the big ones. And if they're not biting too well in here, it's probably the best bet that we just pick up and go somewhere else. So I will catch y'all at the next pond. We getting it, boy? So boys, this pond is very clear. It's got some really big ones in it too, so. I'm hoping we'll just walk up on a little wolf pack right here. I think we will. We're gonna crush them. So we were just talking about it. There's usually some fish. You can kind of spy on them. Yeah. Oh, yep. See, see, there's three. So how do you guys want to do this? Hold on. One person catch one and then throw in. All right. Here, I'll hook one and then get ready. Watch. So they are finicky. They saw us kind of walk up on them. This one's like in my net, babe. Is he? Yeah, they should do that pretty good. You see that one? I see him swimming up the way you were. You're gonna catch that one. That one in that corner there. Yeah, go for it. He's going towards my bait now, shoot. Oh, I got a big one on me. Oh, dude, they're all weirded out, bro. That's that big one I caught yesterday, literally. We still not here yesterday, guys, for Fletcher's video. And they were eating really good. And now I just think they're a little spooked. They know what's going on here. See him running away from my bait? You see him right there? It's like a three and a half with batty. Dude, you can catch one on your net bait. Look at him looking at it. I think I'm on time on a jig. I just feel like that chatter donk would be good in certain areas, but in this pond in particular, I just feel like the water clarity is so bright. That vibration and the chartreuse is a little much. I think you're kind of overdoing it with that. What's on this green pumpkin jig? That big one's nose up on me, see that? Look at him. He's coming up to just smell me. He don't even care. He don't even turn his head. There's a nice one right here, dude. Just runs away from the jig. These fish are so finicky. It's crazy. You're fishing that clear water too. Probably they can see you. Like you're standing up on like a hill right here. I don't think they can just see you. There's a nice one right there. Oh, he might eat it. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's only eating it. He's only eating it. He's coming up to me right here. Yeah. He's fired up. That fish actually showed some emotion. Trying to just walk in the banks guys. Trying to see if I spot anything. Just kind of sight fishing right now about breaking an ankle. If I can get this like high ground on this hill right here, I can kind of see we're gonna walk this way. I have an idea. There's like a little spot. I think there would be a few sitting. I don't see one, but I feel like there's one over here. There might be right there. Let's see if one comes out of the blue. Yeah, fishy. Oh, he ate it. Oh my gosh, he ate it right there. He came out of the grass. Did I have him hooked? I don't think I have him on there anymore. And I'm stuck. I am stuck, Chuck. Is there actually the, I don't know if the fish is on there or not. Oh my God, there's another one that's big. Pulling up. You don't see anything here, buddy. He's gone right up to the grass. He's gonna see his friends stuck there. Oh yeah, yeah, he's not on there. Maybe I can catch this other fish. That sucks. Oh my gosh. I was like hopping and I'm like, yeah, there's no fish here. He came right out of the grass. I was up on the bank. I still got hope though. The other fish just pulled up. I don't know where he went. Dang it, dude. I have no, oh, he's right there. He's right there. He's coming up on me. No way. He's on to eat it, guys. He's on to eat it. I don't know if you guys can see him right there. Look, he's right on my jig. I don't know how much I have. Yes, I caught him. That was so cool. I don't know if you guys can see that on the GoPro. I mean, that's a good two and a half pounder. Wow, that was such a cool catch. I was trying to show you all. I don't know if you can see him pulling up on the jig. But that is so cool right there. Look at that. Beautiful bass, nothing big, but just a good sized fish. I'm going to eat that jig. Thank you, buddy. Thank you so much for eating. I'm going to get you right back in the water so you can swim, swim off. I had your buddy a second ago, but he did not want to stay on. Little fat dude, a little two pounder. Okay, I'm going to have to go put you in the water over here, because I do not want to chuck you like 15 foot. At least I can toss you right over here. At least I can kind of give him just a friendly toss right here. Thank you, buddy. Wow, that was awesome. Well, we missed one. Got redemption on the second one. See if there's some more fish. I'll tell you, it's so hard to fish this bank, but it's also good at the same time because you're kind of getting blocked by the grass here. There might be another one up on this bank. Let's see. It's so shallow and so clear. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see a good fish. It's like, I don't know if you saw me or saw my bait. Here, I can't see him anymore. The weird sungler. He's somewhere right there. Oh, there's one out here. Oh, he just swam away. That had to have been the one that I hooked. He already knows. He's like, I'm not messing with that bait. That's funny. I only threw out there. I was probably 10 foot from him. And he was like, I'm not. He turned his head right around. Whoa, that was just my bait. Dude, my bait looks crazy on the bottom. The little one was chasing. Oh, there is one. There's a little tiny one behind me. Well, he ate it. I think he just ate it. He's tiny. Oh, I just spooked two right there. They were right there. Oh, wait. He's not gonna eat me. Actually, yep, he ate it. That is so cool. Sight fishing is fast. Oh my gosh. Like, I thought I didn't have a chance with this fish. And as quick as it goes right there. That is awesome. Beautiful markings on this bass. Not a big one. Still have yet to find a really good fish. Oh my God, your teeth are so sharp. Yeah, no wonder you ate that easy. This fish right here has been chomping, man. These little teeth are brutal. Thank you, Bubba. Oh, there's another one there. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Watch this. One hand cast. Watch. Oh my God, I got a good one. Oh, I missed him. Oh no. What am I doing? I need help. Plotcher, come here. I got a bass right there. I gotta grab him. What the heck? Hey, chill out, dude. Because I had him in my hand and I was about to release him, but I saw a fish. And I was like, I'm gonna try to cast. And then he's flopped out. Huh? Yeah, I just told him, hey, sit. And then he started flopping. So, you know, he wasn't wanting to listen. I don't have any trailer anymore though. The other one just literally slurped my trailer right off. Yeah, that one did. I, well, I spooked him. I walked up on the bank and they like darted off and I was like, ah, that sucks. And then all of a sudden I was like, wait. So there's, hey, hey, hey, school of fish, school of fish. Cast right next to me. Right next to me. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's three. He said I'm on Roman. It's crazy how you can see all that. I can't tell if they're honest or not. One just went, the one I was trying to go for was in the middle. I think there's one looking at you. One I casted that's way out there. It's so crazy that you can see that far. I know. Next spot, you gotta find some biggings. I don't know, no biggings. It's just supposed to be a biggings episode. We trying for y'all. Oh, I, he spit it out. There's two, third bait in there. My jig's literally on the tree. You see him right there? I can't see him. He went right down for it. He's right there. He's turning, he's turning. You see that? Oh yeah, see him now. He's gonna eat you. He's very, very aggressive. I'm gonna grab this jig. But he wasn't hesitant at all. That fish was right on it. What a mess I got going on. I mean, you see how hard I'm hitting it. Oh, I think I got it there. I think it was stuck on something. That fish is still under there. Oh, I had it undone in it. Wait a minute. Here we go. You're about to see the craziest flip, Fletch. I'm gonna get this on high. I'm gonna flip and catch that fish. Why won't it come? All right, all right. That fish comes out. Watch. I hate that thing, I'll be shook. No, you're about to watch it. Watch. That's all I'm saying to you. All right, y'all. Pond number, I'm pretty sure for. This is what we're working with. Beautiful pond. It's not really small, but it's got some really big fish in it. So we wanted to stop by because today is just not a honest plan. I mean, it's cold as can be out here. It's getting colder because the sun's gone and the fish just have not been biting that well, especially the big one. So I'm gonna go back. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna keep continuing the fish with the jig and see if we can get a big bite, but there's a bunch of brush out here in the middle. And I think there could be a tank hidden up down there. So let's go ahead and rig up and hook us into a tow. Okay, guys, we are pulling up to a pond that I have caught some enormous bass out of. This pond has produced quite a few giants. Four or five fish between seven and eight pounds. I caught a 10 pound hybrid bass. My dad caught a 10 pound hybrid bass in here and a nine pound. So there's some potential. There is definitely a lot of wiggle room for a nice size fish in here. Do what we can do. This place is so hit or miss. It's like they're either catching them pretty decent or it's like hard to get bites, but they're so fat. Probably the fattest bass I've ever caught in my life has came out of here. I'm gonna get a couple of these, the bite. They're just biting so weird. Usually on a cold front, you'll have a lot of bites, but we have not had a ton. I think I got one. Oh, that's a good one, dude. First cast. Yeah, it's actually a good one. Yeah, baby. You had a feeling. Look at that. Oh yeah. He ain't even big, dude. He felt freaking large. I think I was pulling him out of that tree. Yeah, it is. It's pretty fish. Not giant by any means, but hey, first cast at this place. And it's a pleasure. I was telling him, it's like not easy to catch them here. So that's a great, that's a great side. They're usually fat, like huge. I just don't know the weather, the conditions today. Yesterday, I felt like the big ones were biting. Today it seems a little different, you know? We just haven't really had many big ones. I did too. When the sun came out, now the clouds are back out. Who knows, maybe the big ones will start munching. I mean, if there's one, there's definitely more, right? There's one. Get a bubble. Got him. Got him. Got your ass, boy. How, how do you bite it? Just barely picked it up. A little shniffle. I saw it, I saw him moving with it. You know, before I realized he had it. That's how that fish was. He just kind of loaded up on it. Yeah. And you didn't have to film a ticket. That's about the same size. About the same size, just a, just a little guy. Interesting, interesting. Cause usually when we get a bite in here, they just tend to be bigger. So this is not a pond, but it's a little stop on this lake that we can hit the bridge. We can flip around real slow. Couple lay downs. Got these pylons. Might be able to catch a few here. That'd be awesome if we could. So the biggest fish I've actually caught out here was right here on a frog. That's the craziest thing. We did the same thing. We kind of stopped here. We were frog fishing. It's kind of the same deal. Wanted to catch another fish and ended up catching like an eight pounder. Oh, oh, oh. He's running at me. Wait, wait, wait. What? Fletcher, I got drilled. I'm talking like this might be the honey hole. Is that your first cast? Yeah. Yeah. Smoked it. Dude, that, that. Yeah, there we go. Got him. He's running at me. It's a crappie. Oh my God. It's a huge crappie. Hey, he's slaving. Golly. Look at that slab. There might be multiple. That is a small. That is a slab and a half, man. He hit this big jig. Golly, boy. That is, that is a certified slab right there. If I've ever seen one. Wait, that's crazy. Absolutely. Yeah, that's a thing. No, a lot of y'all would love to take that home with you. No, I got three. Ha ha ha. Yeah, it's definitely not. Oh. Oh, but I break off on, on fish, you know? Yeah. But I can literally just torque on this stick. Well, that is a nice one, guys. If you enjoyed this video, hit the like button. Subscribe to the channel. Share, share the channel with a friend.
