 Alright guys, this is open. Are you ready for this? This is gonna surprise you guys so much because this is not me at all. This is not me at all, but I'm gonna explain it. You ready? You ready? You ready? What's going on guys? Welcome to another vlog. Today is the day guys, so let me explain what's going on. So today we're actually going out of town and we're going to be going to Lake Chickamaugua. So I just got out of class. I believe what time is it? I have no idea what time it is. I'm actually recording on my phone. I'm not using my vlog camera. I've been recording on my phone recently because it's very, very easy just to pull out my phone and record. It's easier than whipping out the vlog camera and everything. So today I was actually in class and my class, I had to do a lot of homework. If you guys haven't watched the last vlog, you guys need to go watch the last vlog that was uploaded Thursday, Thursday, which is today, but you guys are watching this probably Sunday. The vlogs are all crazy, guys. So if you guys haven't watched that vlog, be sure to go check it out. I was grinding it all day, literally all day. So I woke up at five and I ran all these errands. I was grinding hard, guys. I was getting everything done for this trip and I actually didn't end up going to bed till I would say about roughly 445. So I was literally, that is the definition of a grinder there, guys. When you go from the hour, like that hour to that hour, the exact hour, that's called grinding, guys. 24 hour grind is what I did. I got a lot of stuff done. I've had like three neighbors, four neighbors look at me right now while I'm talking to the camera. So I'm just like, you know what? I'm not going to sit there and feel super awkward while holding my phone. Especially one of my neighbors that's the copy. He's just looking at me like, what's this kid doing? He's holding up a phone. Like, what's he doing? He's doing something to get you. But guys, I went to class today and went better than expected. I hate this class. Listen, I hate this class. My teacher's watching. That's going to be hilarious, but I hate this class. I've been putting some time in this class for real. And we're doing like an ad, an ad script over Duke's mayonnaise. So it's like the whole thing where it's Southern. It's like a Southern mayonnaise brand, like the Southern vibe to it. So we had to act out today or people had to present their scripts. We had to act out. And I literally, there's like four guys in my class. And when people would go up and read their scripts, they would call out. I mean, they're most likely a dude in their script. And every single time, literally people would call me. So I literally had to act out like 25 times today, you know, acting all Southern in the whole scripts. It was just all crazy guys. But we're going to get on with today. We're going to be vlogging this whole trip all the way to Lake Chickamaugh. We're probably going to get there pretty late. But I have a lot of packing to do. I have to pack up. I did laundry last night. I have to pack up. I have to clean out my truck, the inside. You guys watched the last vlog. We cleaned the outside. Got to clean the inside today and get a few more things done. But let's go ahead and hop into it. Holy smokes, guys. Look at this right here. Oh man. I'm going to show you what's in this box. All right. Let's open this real quick, guys. Because I wonder why I'm doing this on the floor. It's because there's stuff all over my table. And I got to clean before I leave. So I want to do this right here. Let's see if I can do this with one hand. Let's see. Ooh. Come on. Come on, I'll get that for you. All right, guys. This is open. Are you ready for this? This is going to surprise you guys so much because this is not me at all. This is not me at all. But I'm going to explain it. You ready? You ready? You ready? All right. Look at that now. I only got three dates in here. I got a six inch MagDrafts one bait. I got two eight inches. Guys, these things are sick. I was looking them up online. This is like so not me too. I don't throw big swim baits often. So this is like something definitely new for me. But Jesus, guys, let me explain why I'm doing this. So guys, let me debrief on why I actually bought these. So I got two eight inches and a six inch MagDrafts swim bait by Megan Bass. Look at that bad boy. Oh, that's a crazy looking bait, guys. If you guys don't know anything about these, it actually has a magnet to hold the trouble right there on. If you guys can see, you can see the magnets in there. It's a kind of translucent, whitish color. Guys, this bait right here. I'm going to be throwing this a lot this weekend. Let me explain why. So pretty much I haven't qualified for FLW National Championship. We came ounces short and then last event, which really sucks. But honestly, I'm not too hurt about it. How I pretty much see this is I'm going for burp. Chickamauga has some big fish, guys. I mean monster fish. And I know that there's so many fish out there that are going to choke this thing. I know there's so many fish I can eat that. Am I going to solely throw that thing 100% of the time? No, I'm going to switch up. But I am going to throw that majority of the time because how I see it is I don't want to just try to get by. I don't want to just try to get by and qualify. Like if I'm going to do it, I want to try to win the tournament and qualify or at least get a top three finish. And that's what I want to go do this weekend. And Chickamauga, it's a lake where there's so many big fish. It can be anyone's game. Like Bryan College, they live out there. There's some sticks on that team. I'm sure they're going to catch them really good. It's going to be hard to beat them out there. But then again, when these fish are pushed up shallow like that, it's going to, I mean, there's going to be some that have already pushed out onto those ledges. I know that sounds crazy. There's going to be some that have already pushed out. But for the most part, there's going to be some big fish up shallow. And it can be anyone's game at that point. You know, anyone can pull up and catch a 10 pounder. It can happen. So I want to be throwing this bad boy. And I'm excited for it. I actually had to overnight ship these because I was looking at my, where I don't have my swim bait box. I asked my dad to send me a picture because I have my swim bait box back home. Some of the ones in there I might try to throw, but I was looking up a lot of stuff on big swim baits. And supposedly this is the juice. So guys, you got the swim bait right here. Look how juicy that thing looks. That is a good looking swim bait. That color and everything. You got the translucent. You got that blueish white back on it. Kind of gray as well. And you've got that hook right here. So I want to show you like what you can do with this thing. So as you can tell, there's magnets in there. So it just, it holds it slightly like that. Or you can also put that hook up in that bait like that. That's probably how I'll be throwing. That's more of a weedless approach. And you got that like that, especially if you're going to be trying to skip this on it. That sounds crazy. If you're trying to skip this big swim bait, it's going to be better if the hook's up in there like that, rather than the magnet holding it down. Because if you slightly hit the water, I mean, I'm sure they really thought this through with the magnet. But then again, I mean, I'm sure it's going to come off a lot of the time when you're, when you're throwing out there. But look at that sexy thing right there. Loading up everything in the car right now, guys. I got people calling me like crazy, but I have to get all this done. So about to hook up to the boat. Loading everything up right now. And then I'm going to be on my way to boat storage to meet the whole crew. All right, guys, I actually just got the boat. All packed up in the back. We got everything, guys. We're, we're ready to hit the road. So now I just got to meet at boat storage and we're all going to start traveling. So it's almost this 435 right now. I should be at boat storage in about 15 minutes. And yeah, that is what we are going to do, guys. We're going to have to, it's going to be a long drive. I just don't know how long it's going to take us. I mean, we need to get on the road and go. I mean, no messing around. Maybe stop any once if that, just grab snacks and gas up. But rather than that, we just, we just got to get this done. But I'll catch you guys at boat storage. We made our first stop at the gas station. We got the rig right here. We got about three hours and 50 minutes left before we were, before we were at Lake Chickamauga. Super pumped. I almost threw my frog in that puddle right there because I know there's a big one in there. I'm ready. I'm ready to be there. I'm tired, exhausted, ready to shut down this night, get after it tomorrow and go kill it. Because we're going to be grinding. We got one day of practice and we're going to make it happen. The wind 500, 500 grand. Yo, what's going on people? I'm not even vlogging because this trip is crazy. Honestly, it's good vlog content, but I'm to the point now. I just want to be there. It's already 1230. We're probably not going to show up to like 330. And get about an hour's worth of sleep and then go out on the water because I'm going to get out there bright and early because I only have a day of practice. So we're going to make that happen. We literally had a truck breakdown, sending people out to auto parts stores, all the way to car batteries dying, all the way to get in more chicken sandwiches, all the way to getting more gas. This trip has been crazy. All the way to drive in 40 miles an hour right now because we're trying to get everyone to catch up. And just once everyone catches up, booking it all the way. We're just going to book it there. Because this has been a crazy trip, guys. This has been wonderful for the books. Yeah, this has been a trip. It's been crazy. So I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit. I just need to start vlogging the whole thing to be honest with you because you guys would get a lot of entertainment of what's been going down. But I'm running on a few hours of sleep and I'm going to be running on an hour of sleep tonight. And then we got the tournament. So it should be good. Let's get it. Just finally got to the hotel. Let's leave the past couple of days have been crazy, guys. I'll show you guys where the boat's all positioned here. That's what we're working with right here. At the boat. As I can tell, a lot of people are already here. So we just plug this bad boy up, grabbing the rods, grabbing all our tackle out. Then we're hitting the sack for about an hour. I was in it off the night right there. It's like 4.30 right now. I'm going to go hop in the bed. Wake up in about an hour, a little over an hour. It's going to be crazy, guys. It's going to be grinding all day tomorrow, all the way till dark. I want to try to get everything done with the rods and everything. And hit the sack tomorrow because I do need some sleep. This means I'm pretty much getting four hours of sleep in the past 72 hours, which is rough. So I want to close it up for tonight, guys.
