 Fish and Freaks, welcome back to the channel. Got something interesting for you here today. Me and Pops are back here out on the water at Old Commodero. It's kind of midday. We just pushed back here in this creek. And I thought, you know what? I'm just gonna take a couple of hours here and try to complete a slam, MTB slam. You guys know about Mystery Taco Box. They've been helping us out on this channel for a while now. If you want to get $10 off your first box, link down in the description. You can go ahead and do that and get rolling with it. And we got the February box right now. So I figured since I'm down in Mexico, I'd take it at some point, I'd do a challenge. We are at that point. I don't know how many lures we got in here, but I'm gonna say, I think we're gonna do two fish for each lure on this slam. And then we're gonna do two hours. Dad's hooked up right away. You're trying to sabotage my, you're trying to sabotage my slam, dude. That's right, trying to get the, that's all right. You're trying to get the slam all before you get to them. Now I already know there's a bunch of small male bass in this creek pushing up. Females are out a little bit deeper, but I thought, you know what, let's try to get up there close to the bank and just see how, if we can catch a lot of those buck bass in two hours. So that's a good challenge. Let's get to it. All right, first lure we're gonna start out with, one that's always good. Basically pre-spawn through spawn is a jerk bait. This is a Berkeley cutter. This is the 110 right here. So actually what we've got going on here, I've seen some shad. We've got trees in here. I'm gonna have to avoid, but I think we'll be able to get it done right here. I've had some bites on a like weightless jerk baits, like plastic versions. The hard version should get it done too. A lot of structure in here. This is gonna be a big challenge trying to, trying to get a fish on all of these baits and get them through here. Plus a lot of these are designed to fish, boom, gosh, I mean, right away, right away. First freaking cast, boom. Now we can handle fish that size. If we get one that's pretty big, we're gonna be in trouble. Cause I mean, I'm fishing this on 20 pound test. I wouldn't normally fish this on 20 pound test. I'd normally fish it on like 12. When a big one hits it and goes down in those bushes, like pretty much what you see on the banks, what we got under the water. So it's gonna make this one a pretty good challenge. Oh man, right on the bank. Like, well, bam, oh my gosh, that's a tilapia. What? I don't know if we should count this one. Maybe. Tilapia. See? Oh, it's bonita. Yeah, we'll just keep that at one. Not gonna throw the tilapia into the mix this quick. These fish are like spawn, pre-spawn, post-spawn. Everything is going on right now. So this is a great time to be fishing. Jerk baits are also pretty effective on spawning fish. They'll come up, topwater and jerk baits can be effective on them if they got clear enough water. All right, we've encountered our first snag. Second fish, little guy. Doesn't matter though, we'll take him. Okay, time to switch it up. 10 minutes in right now. Hmm, man. Feeling like this is gonna be really good. Texas rig is gonna be really good. Probably gonna Texas rig the Exo-Stick and this. This is gonna be the biggest challenge right here. All right, we're gonna Texas rig this. Got a five-out hook in here. Right over to the tail. Drop that down. This bait changes colors. Look at that, just changed colors. Crazy, just had a bite. Fish came back, got it, got him. Over the limb, bonus points. Yes, we need a little wind. The bite is tough right now because we don't have any wind. I'm really having to make some good casts here. Not sure what they think this is, they're probably like, why are there goblies in here? Number two, batteries are down on the GoPro so I gotta change them out. But that one's done. Smart bait, color changing. See if chartreuse, right there. It's red and purple right there. Okay, we're gonna take that Bio-Spawn Exo-Stick. Should be a phenomenal bait for right now. We're gonna put that on, but since the water's so clear, we're gonna call an audible right here. Put a little chartreuse on the tail. Same, gotta make that a half-ounce weight there I'm gonna give it a good, healthy dip there. We're back in the game. Time check is now 105. So we're just past 30 minutes into the competition. Need two fish on this thing, quick. Goals to get this thing done, less than two hours. This is kind of like middle of the day, it's pretty tough. Typically the bite's tough during the middle of the day, but why not, why not add to the challenge, baby? Oh, there's another one, it's got it. Yes, oh, dang it, didn't land him freaking Exo-Stick. It's just perfect for right now. It's a stick bait, stick baits. We're just amazing this time of year. Oh, yeah, all right, Exo-Stick is done. New of those, those two are gonna be pretty easy. Three down. Take those out. We got the Vennrig, we got the Swimjig, we got this. It's pretty much it, pretty much all we got. Okay, I think I'm gonna go get the jig with the Swimjig. Gonna cut the skirt down, put a little customization here. Really cut that skirt down so it'll move a little quicker. There we go, take this crawl right here. Match the chartreuse and the skirt. I'm gonna rig that tail down, see here, right there. Think that'll do it. Oh, there he is. Some shad come through here in this pocket. I've seen him get busted, so thing to throw right on the bank. Took my, tore me up. Well, taco, taco, necesito taco, por favor. This is gonna cut it in my time, but it's absolutely crucial. I think I'm gonna take a five minute little break here, just get refueled, I'm getting low on blood sugar, energy, and I'm not fishing my bait effective enough. Ah, muchas gracias. Okay. There we go, I'm not even sure what's in this thing, but it's gonna give me the fuel I need. Pops, you better fuel up too. I think I will. Hey, Tom, bike's fucked right now. I've had one come up on that little Zoro Swimjig, put my tail off. There's these little minnows swimming around here. And that's where these little bats are eating, they're eating the little minnows, like right on the shoreline. Every once in a while, when they screw up, they swim right by the shoreline, boom, they get popped. So that's what I'm trying to imitate there with that Swimjig. So we gotta catch two on the Zoro jig. Then we gotta go to that little Nedrick thing. That's gonna be the biggest challenge, I think. And then we gotta lipple this in there as well. We got a lot of work to do. Let's get to it. Okay, fueled up to lunch. Spot looks pretty good. Precise cast. Yes, yes. Get out of the net. Oh yes, avoided the net. Landed. There's one, baby. Going on the Swimjig, and that was actually swimming it. There's one. Come on, get out of the tree. Yes. Yes, there we go. All right, they're just eating those little minnows right on the bank. Got him, got him. Okay, that one's done. We're gonna move on. So we got a little wind right here. We're gonna move on to this bad boy. Hooked up. Got yourself one. Oh yeah. There you go. The left tee's hooked up. I got my lure back. James, get it done. Okay, here we go. Come on. Oh, gosh, came off. Gosh, freaking inhaled that. Look at that. Oh, good. Okay, should have been number two, but I lost the other one, so still trucking. This is a typical, look at this crankbait spot right here. A little, some wind blowing on it in the middle of the creek. This is actually how I love to fish them in the fall. There he is. This is going to be the biggest challenge of the day. I saved it for last. We have got windy conditions now, of course. It wasn't like that calm before, which I wanted for this. But this is essentially a very small jig head with these little leachy-looking things. I know they're going to eat this right on the rocks. It's just, you don't really necessarily think 20-pound test when you're going to throw one of these. You're thinking like six, eight, finesse type fishing. I don't have that down here in Mexico, but these fish are starting to bite a little bit better. I just gotta, this is going to be more angling rather than the fish actually wanting to eat this. I know that they'll eat this. We have got, I think it's about 30 minutes left to complete my goal for the day of catching two on everything under two hours. So we're approaching that. I think we're going to get it done, though, folks. That is just, that's ridiculous. Let's put it on, let's get it done. Here's the move. I'm going to go right on this rocky edge where there's a minimal amount of trees. Get this thing right on the rocks. Oh, because it's windy. Nice for you guys, you go for a jacket. Okay, should be better, 15 minutes. This is when you start thinking about those lunch breaks. I got a cast over here. How does he not eat the hook? Are you kidding me? One fish landed uno mas. Thanks, dad. Right on the bank. Last one, baby. Get in the boat. Get in the boat! Right into my bag. Got it done. Yes, let's do a time check right now. 218, 12 minutes to spare. Booyah! Fanito! Ladies and gentlemen, we've just completed the two hour Mexican edition MTB slan for the February box. Man, I didn't think I was going to be able to get it done on that last one. It was getting kind of down to the wire. 20 pound test on that little thing. Are you kidding me? I had to really take my drag down and it was super hard to cast. We got wind now. We didn't catch any mandos back here. I knew there was going to be a lot of small fish around the bank, but just key you guys in on a pattern and what's coming because this is ahead of the game down here in Mexico. These fish are, some are moving up to spawn, some are done spawning. We're approaching a full moon. So these fish are going to be, the small buck bass are going to be moving on the bank. And during this time of day, midday, they'll start to get up on the bank and the afternoons, usually when the water warms up more, they'll just flood the banks. The females are always farther behind, they're always in that deeper water. But I thought it'd be fun to get it done now here with the February box.
