 Yo, what's poppin', people welcome back to another video kickin' their vest TV. If you guys are new to the channel, please hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, and also hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. We got a banging frog fishing video for you guys today. Bank fishing video, more importantly, it feels like it's been about 75 years since I filmed my last bank fishing video. But today, if you guys haven't found out the new Vega Frogs release, if you guys want to get a discount, I'll pop my coat up on the screen, the freaking bad boys. But anyways, I filmed this video yesterday and I totally forgot the frog at my house. I drove an hour away from home. I left it on the counter, I was kinda mad, but if you're wondering what we were throwing, I was throwing a black poppin' pickle and Fletcher was throwing a white poppin' pickle. Caught some good fish, there was also a really big fish in the video, so stay tuned and a bonus catch. So this is gonna be a good video, hope you guys enjoy it, let's hop right into it. All right, guys, we are gonna try fishing in the rain right now, okay. Off to a great start. Off to an amazing start. It's gonna make it so easy on us today. I don't even know where I'm at. Oh, there he is. What, oh! Yeah! The day thing went, phew! Where'd it go? Dude, he's right there, but I ain't messing with him. Where's the other one? I don't know dude, I just saw him go, This one? I think he's in that little bush, bro, yeah. Oh, I don't know. He might've went down by the water, but he's a little tiny black snake, he wasn't nothing huge, but he was right next to me. All right, I didn't know where my frog was and I was actually working it on the rocks right there, that was pretty embarrassing. You know what would be amazing right now is the dang buzz bait. There's one, I got one tied on it for a grab. This is the worst place for slippery little snakes. I'm gonna duplicate what I did that time, Fletch. Seven hundred from up here. What would you think? I've tried it a few times. I'm gonna try it multiple times, I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna try a buzz bait real quick. Did I? If you guys don't know, probably the best bait to throw in the rain is a buzz bait, at least from my experience. They will eat a buzz bait in the rain. Let me tell you, so. We can catch one on a buzz bait, man. I will not complain. Wanted to catch them on a frog today, but the conditions are just not allowing us to. Should be one up in this corner. All right, guys, go into a new spot. See if we can catch one on this pickle papa. Look at this grass, man. Oh my gosh. They're gonna be roaming a little bit more. It's cloudy, this rain. They're not gonna be up in this grass how they should be, but they would roam the edge. They might get smoked, I ain't gonna lie. This looks juicy. Throw in a poppin' pickler. Dude, my hand feels so good right now. Oh my gosh. Dude, that was a big bite, bro. That was actually a good fish. Oh my God. You just like tried to suck it down, and I just. You got one? Oh. Oh, you got a cow tail? Look out, that was legit. That seemed like a good little bite I had here. I wonder if there's some more. So usually in cloudy conditions, they like the black a little bit better, but I always kind of rule of thumb if you guys were wondering, like through the black and the cloudy days and the white and more of the sunny days, these fishes aren't under the stuff how they should be. If it was like a sunny day, these fish would get up under these little mats and we'd be able to catch them really good on these frogs, but right now with this cloud cover in the rain, these fish probably rumble a little bit. It seems like they're kind of shut off, I'm gonna be honest with you. Sometimes in the rain, you know, to turn them on or sometimes they kind of shut them off. It just depends on the day. Oh, that was a good one, bro. No, I'll jerk the freaking rod out of my hand. I'm like hook set and weird because of my. I'm not stealing from you. My hands, you should eat. Dog, yeah. The two good bites, they're not small ones either. I don't think that fish was small. Uh-uh, I mean, I felt like weight, but I definitely didn't stick. There we go. Oh, why are they eating? That was a smaller one. It might have been different fish. Just hurting my thumb. It's kind of hard for me to reel in. It's gonna be interesting when I look at fish. I've been fine casting. Just kind of hurts even. Try to keep my thumb in the air. Man, it's like an old man. You have another bite? That grass gets all out there. Is that grass usually out there? Is that grass usually out there? Oh, that was awesome. That was freaking such a cool bite. All the way out of the water. That's a decent fish. Dude, that was a really cool bite. He hammered it, bro. Oh, man. He came all the way. You're like, I'm interested to see if we get a bite out there. He wasn't even hooked. Really? Like I literally wasn't hooked. Just like pressure? Look, there's zero hook marks on them, too. Not even a hook got it. It must have just been pressed up against them. Wow. That's my first fish today. Pretty little guy. That was a cool bite, though. He wasn't even hooked. Did you hear my drag slip? I think that helped out with my hand. I was thinking about that. I was like, I'm gonna loosen my drag on braid, which I never do. Money a tighten it a little bit, though. It slipped a dang good bit. That's probably why I didn't get the hook in them. I watched him. I watched him come and eat it. He came from the left-hand side at the base of the tree. No, I haven't. He actually got a hook in this one. Yeah, these are the things that hurt my hand. Be easy with me, bud. I'll get you back in the water, and you can be swimming. Pretty little golden fish. These fish have pretty... Dude, look at that. It's like the most golden bass. He does got a lot of gold on them. It's a pretty fish. Walk him down a little bit, give him a toss. Thank you, buddy. All right, guys, just got out to another spot. I'm gonna pick up one of my rods right here. I have the frog in that. I have a little popper tied on, so we're gonna try a popper, but we're at the second place today, and we're gonna go down there and try to catch one. There's a little pipe over here. This is a pretty clear pond, but right now it's not clear. They're like cut some of the trees off the bank, so it kind of dirty up the water. We're gonna try it out for a minute. We just want to stop by. Today's one of those days where we're just kind of trying to fish since it's raining, you know, we're just trying to put together something. So we're gonna go down there real quick. See if we can catch one. Let's see if we can give this a shot. Got a little pop. And what was that? Was that a snake? I'm doing to me some snakes. It's a little grassy flesh. I ain't gonna lie. We're gonna try this little popper. And it's a frog bit, but when you have top water, you gotta throw top water. We're in a new little spot. I'm quickly gonna switch over to this little creature bait just to give this a shot. There's a pipe right here that I want to toss this thing in front of and see if I can't get something to come out of this thing and hammer it. Oh, I got one. There we go. Yeah, nice one. That's a fat one right there, guys. Oh my, oh goodness gracious. Yeah. Yeah, look at that. Oh, bro, bro. Oh my God. Dude, that is the fattest fish I've ever seen. Oh my God. Oh my gosh, look at that. Barely in the top of the mountain. Dude, I did nothing. Barely in the top. They didn't look that big. I didn't think it was that big. Look at that. That's like a six pounders and a four pounders body. It's probably a five. Oh, I don't think it's six, but I'm throwing her on the scale. Oh my goodness, guys. That was unexpected. Let me grab this scale. Like I really did not think that fish was that big until I set the hook. I was sitting there like having a conversation with Noah and I like just felt my line moving. I wasn't hardly paying attention. Like. You're getting a five pounder all day. Oh, yeah. Five even. Oh, yeah. Five even. Yeah. Yes, sir. You're kicking him. That is a freaking toad. Look at his stomach. You see that little tiny spot on her? You see that right there? Yeah, I do see that. Look at that tiny, that fish is so fat. What? Well, I know this is a frog video, but I kind of want to put on something on the bottom on this rod right here. A little Mach 1 combo. We're gonna dig through Fletcher's box real quick and grab a hook and a weight. They're just not wanting the top order in here. I casted over that a good bit. He flipped out that worm probably like five times and had that fish bite it. That's a solid five pounder. That was a good fish. Let's see. Grab a little basic Texas root. Just a little tiny bullet weight, little three-eyed EWG. I don't know what kind of soft plastics he has, but honestly, I think just about anything would work for the most part. My thumb. My hands have been feeling a lot better today, by the way. That's why I was able to get out and go fishing today. My course is wet and rainy, but you know, we're salvaging up the day. We're getting a little bit of something going. It could be a lot worse, so. I'm gonna tie this up real quick, see what soft plastics he has, and then go down there and see if we can catch one. Put the bullet weight, three-eyed EWG. We're tying together with a uni knot. Cleaning basic. I've seen a lot of comments that you guys say, I know I'll make a video on that knot. I already have a video on my channel. If you just type in, like, kicking their best TV fishing knot, or kicking their best TV best fishing knot, the video will pop up. It's a simple basic knot, though. Really strong, best knot out there. I tied the polymer for years, and I retired the polymer for the uni, so if that says anything, it's not about everybody and their mom throws a polymer knot. Did you get another one? He's got another one. We're just gonna put one of these little crawls. I don't know if this is what he's using, but something basic, something too crazy. All right, so that's what we're working with. Let's give it a shot. What kind of, what do you have on? I put on one of them little, like, crawls looking. Mostly? Yeah, that's what I got. Yeah, that's what I got on. They're smelliest things I've ever... Thank you, boys. Yeah, they're pretty dang smelly. I ain't gonna lie. Halfway between the pipe and the tree. Surprise, they're biting in here, they're gonna... It might be biting good today. We're just, we were throwing the wrong bait, the whole, which, I mean, we kinda knew. Yeah. Oh my God, I got one. Oh, he came off. Really? First cast, he took it off. Look. Huh? Did he take it? Yep, look. He destroyed that thing. I'm gonna throw... Did he rip off your... He ripped off both the crawls, this was my first cast on it. I'm gonna throw it in there like that. I'm gonna cast it down that, like, four or five times. Kinda know how to wiggle your horn now. Look at what that fish freaking... We literally just put that on the last one he had. He just destroys it, first cast, you gotta love it. Get him. Oh! Whoa, boy. My condom! Right there. You think it was a little small one? I think that might have been a bluegill, honestly. It was big. That's kinda how that bite over there was. These are really... Okay, that's gonna be a fish. Got it. That's a beautiful cast. What about that brush? Yep. There he is. That's a decent one. Couging? Yeah. Oh, there he goes. That's a good one. Oh, gosh! Look at that. Not the bad fish! Not the bad fish! He's a lot skinnier than I thought he was. Ooh, look at that. Barely. Dude, that's how my big one was. That's a solid one, what? Two pound, two number? Yeah. Look at his eye on this side. Huh? Look at both of his eyes. See how his eyes are like in his head? Yeah, do you see that like gold flake on that other eye? Yeah, there's a little tiny gold mark on it. Yeah, that's interesting. Look at his right there by his gill plate. See how he's tore up? I do see that. That's interesting. That fish is all beat up, really skinny guy too. That's a pretty fish. I thought he was a lot bigger. That's a nice one though. Get him back in. Give him a little toss. There he goes. Look at that. Oh my God. Look at that tangle from goodness. Gotta love it. That's like my favorite part about fishing. It's just tangling my lineup a million times. I love it. I know dude, it's just so much fun. We are ready to flip on the end of this tree and catch a dog. Oh my God, what do I do? A dangler? Nope. But what I will say, right there, you see how I was just dangling my bait? If you guys don't know what a dangler is, is where you dangle it above a branch. Well, I went out fishing the other day on the Ogichi with Brad and I could only fish for about 20 minutes. I was winning like my hand was really starting to, it was pretty bad. And I actually caught a dangle fish. So I will play that clip right now. Oh my God. Oh my God, it was a dangler bro. No way. Yeah. I mean a decent one. Like a two pounder. I was dangling it from the tree. Oh my gosh, there's no way. Bradley, I dangled that from the tree bro. It's been like probably six years since I've actually got one to commit. That is freaking cool. That's a decent little fish. Guys, that was one of the coolest bites this year. That'll probably be in like a 2020 like collage at the end, or montage at the end of the year. My hand's so bad. I'm sorry for like just casting bad today and just my hand's destroyed. It's a good fish. That's a good little fish. So this is the coolest thing is I was dangling. If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, I threw my, the little bait there. It was dangling above the tree. I started dangling it from the tree. Just came up and ate it. I would hold them up for you, but I can't use my thumb on this hand. So I'm just gonna, Bradley can show you. Good guy. All right. That was freaking cool. Let's keep on fishing. That's pretty crazy, wasn't it? That was one of the coolest little fish catches all year. They go in like a 2020 montage at the end of the year with a bunch of cool catches. You ever ledge fish on the frog? Do I always ledge fish? Ledge fish, yeah, yeah. You know, my favorite way to fish it is you put it, not a one ounce weight, but a two ounce tungsten. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, all you gotta do is just put that two ounce weight on the frog and you're golden. Rown, you know, 35 foot, 35 foot of water, you just peg a two ounce weight, you know, it's golden. And I put about 12 bullet weight pegs. Do you? Do you? Oh no, I was more of a 13 type of guy. Yeah. You know, I'm 13 inches from my unlucky, it's all unlucky now. Oh yeah, I feel that. God, I wasn't even recording, bro. The whole time? I don't think so. That is dumb. Oh, God, I'm so mad. I was actually like, really dude? That's so annoying. I just caught one guys on. It was actually a really cool catch too. I was like, surprised we haven't got a bite. Okay. But sadly, didn't get them on camera. He's the skinniest fish of the year too. Yeah. Okay. Just came up and scooped. Dude, they're choking it in here. The last one guys, you know, they haven't been eating it. The one I didn't catch on camera, he ate it the same, he actually ate it further than this one, but calm down, buddy. You're a little feisty, you got a pretty little dude. Nothing big, but second fish in this pond. Technically first fish on a can. That's annoying. Got him. Got one? Yep. Can't tell how big he is. He's only about a pound. You got a double? Yes. Oh, no. No. Decent little like pound and a half. Well, I did not get the release, but he's just about a pound and a pound and a half. My camera died, of course. Didn't get the other clip and then the camera dies. At least we got the catch on camera. See if we can catch another.
