But let's go ahead and hop into today's video. So I have a few baits tied on today. And this is what we're gonna be going with. We're gonna be hunting Big Bass today. Searching for Giants, man, is back and running. And let me show you guys a new bait, okay? I took this out yesterday. I don't know if the video's gonna be out or even if I'm posting it yet. I didn't fish too long, but this is actually called the Swank. We're calling it the old Swanky, okay? Let me tell you, I think this is a new Big Bass bait. I've been using the chatter bait for a while. And, you know, I was like, I kinda wanna switch it up and try some new stuff. This is actually by 6 cents. And this is a crankbait. Actually, we'll talk about it more on the water. But this thing is a killer, man. It really is a killer. And I am so excited to bring it on the channel and start using it. I used it for the first time yesterday and boy was I impressed. Like, very impressed. And as you guys can tell right here, we got a big jig. That is, you know, a great Big Bass bait as well that we're gonna be throwing today to catch some giants. If you guys do wanna get 10% off on any 6 cents products, I will leave the code in the description. You don't have to, it's just down there if you wanna use it. But yeah, these are the combos that we're gonna be going with today. Let's go ahead and get down to the pond and see how we're gonna break it down today to catch a Big Bass. All right guys, we're at this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place. If you guys are wondering about the conditions, totally cloudy out, overcast, super windy. The conditions are just looking so great right now. I'm hoping it's not gonna rain on me. I don't think it is, but you know, hopefully it's not. As you guys can tell, but the place that we're at, I like the look at everything so I can figure out how to catch the Big Bass. So as you can tell when you look at this, we have like a little pipe right here. More than likely a fish on it. That's just like a general location you guys wanna look at is stuff like that. Okay, we also have a bunch of vegetation on the bank. We got grass that comes out about 10 to 15 foot off the bank and it starts to drop off, okay? There's gonna be a bunch of fish that stage up on the edge of this and also inside of this, okay? And then there's gonna be, as you guys can tell, there's a little curve and it goes back into that pocket. There's a bunch of wind. There should be fish back there. So we're gonna be targeting around here. There's also a drop off in the middle in this bend. So fish are gonna sit down in that. So let's go ahead and get started. Start casting out and figure out what we're gonna do to catch these Big Fish. All right, here are two options. We're gonna start off with the jig. I usually start off with a moving bait but I wanna flip around this pipe real quick to make sure there's not a fish creeping along right here that we could possibly catch, okay? First thing I'm gonna do, check my drag. Okay, it's a little loose. We're gonna tighten that down a little bit. We don't wanna make any mistakes here. And we're gonna start flipping, man. We're gonna flip right here in front of this pipe. Like I said, there could be a fish here. That's not a guarantee but there could be a bass that's lurking around right here. Okay, make a few flips. Make sure there's not one sitting here. All right, we didn't get hit. We're gonna cast out. Ooh, fish just hit right there on the edge of, what did I say, on the edge of the grass. What these fish are doing is they're pushing the bait up towards the grass and they're feeding on it. As you guys can tell, I just casted my jig right out here and I'm gonna be working the grass edge, okay? There should be some fish stacked up on it and that's always something you wanna look at. All right, guys, we got the old swanker out, man. You guys haven't seen this yet but you guys are about to see, you guys are about to see. That was a horrible cast to throw the swanker but it's gonna be hard to actually fish this here because of the grass edge. Like it's gonna be hard to get the bait back but I'm gonna still give it a shot today. If not, we might have to switch over to the chatter bait just because of how, it's not of how grassy it is. It's just of me getting it back. Look at the seat, look at that, that's annoying. It's because there's so much grass on the edge. See, that's the annoying part. We're gonna throw this parallel to the grass, boom. Oh, I saw a fish chasing bait, we might get slim, man. I feel like it'll eat the Schwanky. It's gonna be a pain in the butt to get this thing back in but we're gonna whip it out there. I've been seeing fish come up chasing bait. There's a bunch of wind right here. Might be able to get one on the Schwanky. The old Schwanky 5000, man. I wanna show you guys what this thing can do. Yep, big one. Come on, come on, don't come off, don't come off, don't come off. Yep. Dude, what did I say to the Schwanky, dude? The Schwanky. You guys don't know the Schwanky lifestyle yet. I had so much fun yesterday. You guys are about to see what I mean by the Schwanky. He ate that sucker too. He didn't just wipe at it, he ate it. Already calling the pliers out. Look how he ate that sucker, man. We've only been here for a few minutes. Couldn't get him to commit on that jig right off the bat. So we pulled out the old Schwanky by six cents. And I crawled that in a red pattern. We got the fish. What did I say? I said they were chasing bait up on that grass line. We threw the Schwank out there. And he tackled it, man. Straight up tackled it. That was a solid two, two to two and a quarter. We'll get a weight on them just to say, since it's the first fish today, he's not a bad one. He's so long. I'd say he's about two and a quarter. If we're super lucky, he's two and a half. But I just don't think that's the case. Exactly two and a quarter, like 2.4. Yeah, I was about to say, I did not think he's two and a half. Okay, our first fish today is two and a quarter on the Schwanky. That is beautiful, man. That is awesome. Great start on a moving bait. I love to see that. Especially in overcast conditions and a little bit of wind. Throw a moving bait in there. There it goes. That is awesome, baby. Hit the like button for that one. One thing I would like to say, I mean, this is a big profile. Like, that's what I really like about it. Cause you guys know I love to fish for a big bass. If you guys are wondering like the original name for this, it's called the Swank Crank. I always call it the Swanky, man. This one deserves the name. You know how the Chatterdonk's a Chatterdonk? And then we got the trap, which is a trapperoo. This is the Swanky, man. This one deserves this name because I know how good it's gonna be. Look at that, there's fish chasing bait. I can like see their backs come up throughout the water. Well guys, I really don't wanna do this but I think I'm gonna cut off the Swank. This isn't the best location for me to fish it just because of how the bank is going to treat me. But we are gonna put a Chatterdonk on and I go at it as much as I have been fishing the Chatterdonk so much lately. I just, I don't know. Like I said, man, if we were at a different place, then this would work. This actually works at this place but just bringing the bait in is kinda irritating because of how much grass there is on the edge and I know we can get it done on the Chatterdonk. We can rip it through the grass on the edge and it's gonna be perfect though. My line was ripping out of my reel right there. It was about right there where I just casted. Oh, gosh, there he is. Stay down. I can't tell if he's big or not. Look at him running. Two pounder. Look at him, look how wore out he is. I just got you, buddy. He already gave up. Solid two pounder. Are you the one who was toying with me? Are you the guy that was messing with me? Look how he ate that thing. Dude, that is the stubby, his little two pounder I've ever seen. Oh, yeah. Dude, something about the Chatterdonk, man. I love it. My confidence bait, man. You guys know me and the Chatter. I'm pretty sure this might have been the same one but they're feeding so much. Like there's schools of these fish everywhere and everything's just laying out really great as in condition wise today. It's a beautiful fish. There it goes. All right guys, we're moving to a new spot right now. That spot that we were at was pretty decent, man. We got a few good solid fish but that little pocket where all the wind was blowing, that's actually where we're gonna go right now. It just makes too much sense. We see that fish are chasing bait right now. Not only are fish chasing bait, but it's overcast. You can just tell if they're roaming around a good bit and all that wind is just caking in this pocket. And if you guys know anything, fish chasing bait, wind caking in a pocket, it's gonna be pushing all those bait fish in that pocket and those fish are going to be chomping. So we're about to park right now, get out and try to catch a giant. I mean a giant, boys. We gotta have that big bass energy. All right, boys. Here is the pocket that we made it to. That's where we were fishing before. All this wind pushing in, this wind is whipping right now. If I didn't have a mic on my GoPro, it would be a struggle. Got my jig right here. We're gonna start off with the Chatter Donk. We're gonna see if we can get some fish. I know there's gonna be a bunch of fish stacked on this grass line just because of all the wind that's pushing by all this. So there's gonna be fish all along the edge. There should be some fish in the middle as well. More importantly, all the way in back of the pocket where all the wind is leading to. We're gonna start casting our Chatter Bait around and we're gonna try to catch a big one. Big one, let's get it. Okay, I might've got a bit, I might've had one eating me. Both of my tails are gone. I had one tail gone from the start. I just ran with it, both tails are gone on that thing now. Oh my gosh. My heart stopped. My heart stopped right there. Oh, freaking big bass. Freaking giant bass. What the heck? He followed it in, dude. I saw his mouth come open like right in front of me. That was scary, dude. Why? See, they're acting weird now. I feel like they just switched from when we first got here. We're making it out to a different area that that last one did not produce. And I'm really confused over that because when you see an area like that, like with the wind blowing in, especially on how the conditions were, but then again, the conditions have changed a lot. It's actually sunny out now. There's still, oh my gosh, look at that boil. That was the biggest boil I've ever seen. That was the biggest boil I have ever seen from a fish. Dude, that was a massive, massive boil. Holy cow. Wow, okay. What I was saying is the conditions have changed a good bit. And it seemed like it just turned the fish off. So I'm starting to throw this jig a little bit more, trying to throw something slower to see if they want that. You know, when they were feeding really hard, I don't see any fish really chasing bait anymore. When they're feeding really hard, you know, they wouldn't even touch this jig. So, but now they're not even touching any of the moving bait. So I'm trying to see if they'll eat, you know, an old big jig off the bottom, see if we can get a big bass. There he is. Oh, on the swank, first cast. Oh yeah, don't spit it. Dude, that's a big one, on the swank, bro. On the swank, bro. Look at that guys, picked up the swank, first cast, got it done. I think they want that reaction. Dude, he hammered that sucker. That's a three pounder all day. We'll weigh him, just to confirm, because a lot of you guys think I'm just crapping on you all the time, but that is a three pounder all day. I think he's about right at three. Might be three and a quarter. Nah, he's right at three. He is a three pounder, boge. Come on, buddy, let me get the weight on you and I'll get you back in the water. Oh my God, dude. Three pounds, one ounce. Okay, I almost called him exactly. I thought I was gonna lay on three pounds, but three pound bass right there on the swank, man. The swank might be the thing to get it done today. He slammed it. They don't want, you gotta piss him off with a moving bait, that's exactly what we gotta do. And I'm glad to hear that right there and figure this out, because we're about to get it done now. These fish need something to react to. Three pounder, three pound, one ounce. Beautiful, beautiful fish. I'm not gonna, I'm gonna throw you out, buddy. This is so, fish just hit right there. Oh gosh, my bad, dude, geez. This is like super thick, so it's hard for them to swim through. I've released plenty of fish right here. Okay, had to throw them out. Three pounds, one ounce. I will take that, man. That's our first good fish today. The other two were pretty good. They weren't giants, but they were pretty solid, okay? Cannot complain with the two pounder. But three pounder on the swank, man. Swank's getting it done. Chatter donkey just wasn't happening. Jig wasn't happening. Switched to the swank and got slapped. And I'm pretty sure that was my first cast. I have to go watch the GoPro clip back. Heck, you guys are watching it now. Pretty sure that was my first cast. Oh, that's so big. On the swank, three pounder. Oh, that must be bigger, that's almost a four. That's almost a four right there. Oh, holy cow. Almost a four pounder on the swank. What did I say, man? They want that reaction, you gotta piss them off. That's a big one, dude. That's a good fish right there, man. Look how fat he is. That's about a three and a half. Dude, I'd say three and three quarters. I'm going with it. I think he's about three and three quarters. He's a hefty guy. No, three six. So he's almost a pound and a half. Almost a pound and a, or a pound and a half. What am I saying? Almost three and a half pounds. And that is awesome right there. We are upgrading guys, catching big bass now on the swank. And that's what I was saying at the beginning of this video. I'm excited to start throwing the swank because I know it's gonna be a super, super, super valuable weapon in my arsenal. Gosh. Like they won't eat the chatter dunk or the big jig. And that's usually what I throw. And now I just switched it up to something that they're gonna have to react to. And big ins, man. Almost a three and a half pounder. There he goes. Ooh, there he goes. Whoa! Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. I'm down with all your shit, all you wanted was my prey. Got me messed up in it.
