 Yo what's poppin' people, welcome back to another video. Thank you guys so much for the support. Man, I'm ready to kick it off with a good video right here. We have some amazing fishing. This was actually my birthday day that we went fishing. Ended up catching a really big fish. It was me and Katie, we went out on some John boats. Had a good time, but before we even hop into that, if you guys are new to the channel, please hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, also hit the like button on the video. As you guys know, we had some big announcements in last video. I'm excited to finally release that to the public. It's gonna be a great year, guys. We're gonna work together as a team and it's gonna be awesome. One of the topics in that video I'm actually going to handle off YouTube. I think that's the professional thing to do. We're never gonna talk about this again. All this stuff and personal things, they're gonna be handled off YouTube and in person. I think that's the bigger man thing to do. And we're working to be a better person every single day and I want everybody watching this to do that as well. You know, we grow as humans, we grow as individuals. We learn from our mistakes and we learn from certain things every single day. You know, I'm a better person than I was last week and last week I was a better person than I was six months ago. As long as we can all take accountability on our actions and learn every single day and become a better person from that, that's what's gonna make this world go around. That's what's gonna make the world a better place and make it a more positive environment. So I just wanted to put that out there. All that type of stuff is gonna be handled off of YouTube. I think that's the right thing to do. So let's talk about the positive here. You know, we're partnered up with Striking now. It's an amazing opportunity. I'm very blessed to have this opportunity. Very grateful. More importantly, I wanna put something out there. I really wouldn't be in that position to have an opportunity like that without you guys. Like that would not be possible. And I just would like to say thank you guys so much. Everybody who supports the brand, supports the channel, supports my journey. I'm very thankful and very blessed for that. And I'm so happy to just call you guys family and call us a unit and call us a team. You know, you guys aren't just viewers or fans, whatever you wanna call you guys. You guys are my family. I feel like all of you watching right now, you're my brothers and sisters. And we're all working to better ourselves throughout life and learn things and push ourselves in the right direction. So I'm just so excited. This is gonna be the best year of our life and we're gonna kill it. So let's go ahead and hop into this video. Like I said, we have some fun fishing. I think you guys are gonna enjoy it. Hit the like button if you guys wanna see some more content like this. Let's hop right into it. All right guys, we just got on the water today. We are going to try to catch some big fish. I'm excited about it. And this is my birthday fishing day. So I'm hoping that I will receive a present from the old fishies and maybe a 10 pound bass. You guys are wondering what we're starting off with today. We got a Luz Custom Pro on a Moktu rod and then I actually have a blade bait on this. I've been running the fish head on this spot recently. There's so much fish loaded in this pocket right here. And so we're gonna start here, work out towards the main lake and work out towards the mouth. But there is so many fish are stacked up in here. All the bait is up in this pocket. And it's just gonna be one of those crazy winter fishing days. All right, let's get started in there popping right there. What if I caught one first cast? Actually got Katie with me, by the way, she's back there. Hopefully we can get her PV today. I think we're gonna catch one of this cast. They're blowing up out there. Imagine like first cast double up five pounders. That's how one hit me. So I just slapped it. Yeah. Slapped it again. He's right under the boat. All right guys, well Katie's gonna keep throwing this blade bait, but I know this can be a good bait today, but something's telling me to throw some different while we're starting just to figure these fish out. And I actually have some fish heads, some underspins. And we're gonna try this out. You guys know that underspin by the other day was just spectacular. So it's just hard for me not to throw one on. This is actually a one fourth ounce. We were using a half the other day, but the one fourth should be fine. Might be even better. It's not too deep. Well, there we go guys. There's that fish head, quarter ounce. Now we need a swim bait. We're just gonna put one of these small swim baits. It's gonna be perfect for this thing. Look at that. Tell me that won't catch them. It should. It's going to. It's not that it should or shouldn't. It's going to catch them. Oh no, we're gonna work our way to the mouth. They might be out of the mouth with all that wind up there too. Last thing they could be right out here on this wind. There's still fish under me. I mean, they're down there. There he is. That's a good one. That's a big one. That's a really good one for the first fish, ain't it? Look at that one. That's three and a half pounder. Might be a four pounder. Oh, I'll grab. Look at that one. That's over three pounds. Look at that. First fish, and that is a birthday fish right there. My first birthday fish. Oh, I jacked him good too on that little hook. That's a good one, ain't it? That's a three pounder. Ah. Birthday fish, come on. I guess you can take a pictures. Little small one to take a picture. All right, guys. Well, we just worked right out towards the mouth, caught our first fish of the day. About a three pounder in this belly. Look how fat he is. Yeah, it's really good. It's crazy, ain't it? He was right there under the boat. This is where they were stacked up the other day. If we get on this bite again, I'm gonna go berserk. Like, I don't know what I could do to catch another 50 fish in one day. If we fire him up, they might do it. He ate it good, though. He didn't play with it. I mean, they're just down there. They're just not. If you get a crankbait and fire him up, they'll eat every cast. All right, you want to? Yeah. All right, guys. So, we just can't get these fish to fire up. Like, they're here. These fish are in the area, the bait's in the area, but the baits that we're throwing, the fish head and the blade bait, they just, they're not eating it. So, what I want to do is I was tying a little crankbait right here and we're gonna throw it down there. This, you know, the thing about a crankbait is you can really fire them up with it. So, that's kind of my goal right here. Once we have them fired up, I think they'll eat that fish head and everything else, but we just gotta get them active and chewing. And something about a crankbait just really triggers bass to bites. So, let's see if we can not fire him up real quick. There he is, first cast. You can't make this, oh, it's all bigging. Bigging. I need a net. Get ready. It's a giant. I mean, giant. Oh my God. Oh! Is that not the craziest thing in the world? Cast. That's a three and a half pounder. What did we just say though? We can't get them to bite the fish head and another thing, you pick up a crankbait, something about a crankbait, first cast, three and a half pounder. Look at that, we're catching bigs today. I think these are the big ones down there. We're gonna fire him up on this crank. That's a three and a half pound bass. You can just set it down, I'll get in and see. All right guys, there we go. Third or second fish of the day, solid three pounder. The first one's a three pounder. This one's a little hefty or maybe a half a pound bigger. And you know, we're throwing the blade baits. We're throwing the fish heads. We weren't getting bites. We murdered them on those baits the other day. And you wanna show them something different. That's exactly what I showed them. I showed them a crankbait, something he can react to. And something about a crankbait, bass just love the bites. So what we're gonna do is throw multiple casts down there with crankbaits. See if we can fire this big school of bass up because these are large ones. These aren't nothing small. And I think we could possibly hook into like a 10 pounder. Get him back in the water. Uh-oh, uh-oh, there he goes. That's a beast. All right, we're gonna throw back in there some crankbaits. See if we can catch another big one. What's the key to success right here? So the key to success is getting the bait on the bottom. Does that mean reel any faster? So what I like to do is when I throw the crankbait here, I'll show you, this'll be good for the video too. I'll throw it out there, right? And to get that crankbait down, you have to reel it. So I like to reel it fast at the beginning. And then once I get it on the bottom, I slow it down. And then it's good every once in a while, you know, just give it like, if you just wanna stop it and kill it, or if you wanna speed it up, like that can trigger the fish to the bite. I keep it down, cause it's gonna help it dig deeper. You shouldn't have a problem. I mean, we're not too deep, we're only in 12 foot. Remember, they were stacked out in the middle. I thought I've hooked one a few times. That's got slapped. God, I'll take the rod out of my hand. There's another good one. I don't need the net. That's another three pounder. But why are they so big? He about jerked it out of my hand. That guy's cracked. Look at that, he's going, no, it's a crank. Keep throwing it down there. Look at how he ate. Look, he's not even hooked. The bill is holding it. Look at that. He ate it that much. You can't tell me that fish isn't cracked out. He ate it head first. That is the most aggressive bass I've caught all day. Look at his lip, his lips ripped. He's been caught a few times. It's not a three pounder, but that's a two. That's a two all day. Three fish for eight and a half pounds. That's a good little start. Geez, that's a dang good one. I think, I might have them hooked weird. Look how I'm running sideways. I haven't hooked weird. Oh, I thought that was a really big one. Get a cast back up in there. Where were you? I was just right out there in the middle. Look how I hooked him. That's why he felt so big. See, he slapped at it. Got him right under the chin. Nice. There we go, guys. You can tell where I scraped him on the head too. That's the fish just slapping at it. It's only like a pound, pound and a half, but super fat guy. We're getting somewhere. Crankbait bites doing the job. Big one. Is it big? Oh, it looks like a good one. Were you just trolling? How big is he? Is he big or is he? Oh, it's like. You got him in the eyeball. Oh no. Eye ballio. You want me to get it? Ballio. You want to hold him? Yeah, I'll take a picture. Oh, you got a giant. The KDSRPV right there. 100%. Is he actually on there? Oh, you got a freaking giant. You got like a freaking horse. This is the biggest fish you've ever hooked. Am I okay? Yeah, you're good. Am I in the right things? Oh my gosh. Oh my God. That's like a 12 pounder or it's a catfish. Is that a bass? It is so big. What is that? What is that? That is no way that's a bass. You got something so dang big. I haven't ever seen anything like it. I want to see it, please. Oh, you snagged something. I don't know. This is not a bass, I don't think. That's too big. Should I let it off? No, don't let it off. Look at it fighting. This is crazy. It's letting out so much. This is crazy. This is huge, whatever it is. You got it snagged. I don't know if it's a catfish or a turtle or a tempel. Should I keep fighting it? Yeah, look at how hard it's tugging. This is crazy. I risked yours. Don't let pressure off though. This is huge. What is that? Is it, what is it? I haven't been able to get an eye on it. Is it a gator? It's a carp. You have a giant. They have a 30, 40 pound carp on. Or can you take it? You want me to finish it? This is a huge carp. Yeah, I'm hooking the tail. It's in the tail. Yeah, it's huge, guys. This rod feels like it's gonna dang snap. It is huge. I thought you had a 10 pound bass. It won't give up. I broke a reel on a carp like this because they're so strong. You haven't hooked in the tail. That's why he's fighting so hard. I didn't believe he hasn't came off. This is crazy. Are you sure it's a carp? Yeah, it's a carp. You saw it? Look, you're about to see it. You ready? Yeah. It's right here. I'm gonna try to show. It's a carp. Where is he? Oh yeah. What do we do? I don't know. It's so big, though. I really want to get it in the net, but I don't know if it'll fit in the net. Look at how big it is. Ew, no. That's 40 pounds. Look at this tail. Get that on camera. I want to show the people. All right. That's a 40 pound. This is the biggest carp I've ever seen. I'm trying to see if it... Should I get off on the bank? Yeah. You got to fight in today. We both got to fight. Look how big it is. Look, look, look. Oh, gross. You want me to just knock them off? Oh, it looks like a tarpon. He gave up. Look at him. It's a huge carp. I don't know what to do. He's wore out now, though. That thing is so big. That's a 30, 40 footer, or a 30, 40 pounder. Well, at least I know how to catch a big fish if I need to. I'll tell you when you put it down, that's your day in PB. This is crazy. I seriously thought you had like a 12 pound bass. Look at that thing. Huge. It's tail is bigger than my face. Come on, buddy. I just want to get you off now. Holy crap. They wrapped around three of my fingers. I just like held my tension. I was like, just snap. Well, that sucks. I tried. It was a... That was crazy, but how did I get in with what? What? How did I get in with what? That was like a 40 pound carp. I think it was huge. It was like a dang shark. A little cubby. Yep. Oh my gosh, five pounder. I'ma land them. Oh my God, never mind, never mind, never mind. Yeah, I need them that. You want to do it right now? Snap. Like a lun. Here, come on this, son. He's like a six, seven pounder. Get him in that net. Oh! I'm about to fell in the water. That's a six pounder. Look at that. A dang six pounder. Guys, we just, oh man, I just hooked up the toad. I just called my shot too. That's freaking every bit of five, six pounds. When he jumped, I thought he was like seven. When he first jumped, I thought he was five. And then he just looked, he just looked so big. Oh my God, he's a man with freaking toad. That's five pounder. You're awake? Yeah. All right, let's hear it out. Slimey. Guys, look at that right there. That is a solid five plus. That is a big, and I just called my shot here. What are you doing back there? I just called my shot here. It was right there on that point. We're gonna get a weight on this girl. I promise you she's over five. It's impossible not to be. That's not zero, huh? What'd you get? Five pounds, three ounces, five and a quarter. Nice. It's a freaking big one right there, guys. That's a good fish. Been hunting for these big ones today and we've honestly, the best that we have caught, have been freaking toads. And we've caught some good three pounders today, but to catch a five minute, it's a good fish right there. That's a big one. Not only is she long, but she's just thick and healthy. We're gonna get her back in the water, but I'll probably get a picture real quick. Sure. All right, guys, here we go. Five and a quarter. We're gonna get back in there and try to catch another one. We gotta get Katie on one of these. I probably would have, would this been your PV? Oh yeah, probably. Like official, all right? Definitely. That's a freaking big one. When he jumped, I did not expect him to be that big. It's a beautiful fish, though. Gotta love catching those big girls. There she goes. All right, Katie. It's your turn now. Now we know the big ones are biting, so just gotta make it happen. Feels so good down there. Right here. Hey, they're here on this side. All right, guys, we just pulled up on the spot and we've been trying to figure out where they're stacked up. And one thing I noticed there was a herring on that bank, a loon out here eating bait, and I saw some bait flicker a second ago. Sure enough, threw a cast down there, was digging into this good stuff on the bottom and he just loaded up on it. You got one? Big one? Oh, you got a big. Oh, yeah, that's a big one. Yeah, that's a big one. It's a three pounder. Or a two pounder. Two pounder. Got a two number. It's a big one. It's the biggest one you caught all day. It's a good, fat one. Throw in there. I don't know if he feels big, but I don't think he's too big. It's a two pounder. I've seen those minnows. They're not big. I was feeling there was a couple big ones with them. Fires? Ah, nah. Oh, yeah.
