 I'll be very surprised man, we caught two right here. I don't know. Oh my God. That's a good one. Oh that's a good one. Oh that's a big one. Yo what's poppin' people, welcome back to another episode of Kicking Their Bass TV. Today we're gonna be doing some pond fishing. I'm excited about it, having filmed a video like this in a good second. Actually got my boy Fletcher with me today. We're gonna be hunting for those giants. Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here. What's going on guys? I got a Fletcher today, crazy story. Fletcher I apologize man, I was super late today. Yeah, Noah we hung out for the Super Bowl last night and he goes yeah I'll be over there at eight o'clock in the morning, let's go get it, let's get a bunch of fishing done. I call him at eight, doesn't answer. I call him at 10, doesn't answer. Shoot him a text, doesn't answer. Finally get a call from this guy at like 11 o'clock. He didn't get over here till like 12, 30 today so we're getting a light start but. But yeah, I messed up there, I told him, I was like, dude I'm sorry, like it was just unfortunate but guess what? We have that positive vibe going, we got that positive energy and we're gonna kill it today. We're gonna knock out two videos, it's gonna be an awesome day, it's actually beautiful outside and I'm ready to rock and roll. But yeah, I'm kinda irritated I slept in today but it is what it is we live when we learn and next time we're not gonna do that. So if you guys are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, also hit the like button, I hope you guys have been enjoying the content. We're gonna go ahead and rig up some rods, get out to these ponds, hopefully catch a big one today, I'm excited about it but yeah, drop some comments down below on the videos you guys wanna see and let's hop into it. All right, so we got our setups for today, let me show you guys exactly what I got. This is my Custom Pro on a Mach 2 and then I have one of these Strike King Skipping Jigs on here. This is my first time trying it out today so I'm gonna give you guys an honest review, hopefully this jig is awesome, they make a ton of different jigs but I'll fill you guys in on this one, it's just a green pumpkin, blue swirl in it and then I have a little rage crawl in the back of it, this is on 17 pound line. Then right here I have a Chatterdonk aka the Thunder Cricket by Strike King, then we got this on my Mock Crush rod, I know you guys love this rod and you wanna see more videos with it so we're gonna be chucking it today and this thing casts like a dream so hopefully we'll get a big fish on this. Then I also brought a Dropshot box, I don't know if I'm gonna be using that in this specific video but maybe later today and then we have some of the KVD Perfect Plastics and these are the caffeine sheds, pretty much like a little fluke and then we have some more rage crawls. But I hope you guys are having a great day, more importantly, I hope you guys are having a great week. 2021 has been an awesome year so far, we're one month in already which is just crazy, I traveled in the RV, it was a long journey and I'm just excited to be out here today. But we're gonna go ahead and walk out to the first pond, there's two ponds that we're gonna hit, there's a smaller one over there that we've caught a lot of big fish before and then we have this one behind me which is ultra clear that I'll probably end up tying like one of the flukes on and working this thing very well. Yeah, I'm excited about it today, hopefully the fish aren't really stubborn but I think we're gonna catch them, I think it's gonna be an awesome day and we're gonna kill it, let's go ahead and hop into it. All right, so I kinda wanna walk right here real quick, my fletcher's rigging up. So like I said, I've never thrown this jig yet, I actually made a TikTok about it, if you guys wanna go check me out on TikTok, go to TikTok, type and kick in their best TV, I've been posting some Skip the Catches over there but yeah, I caught one fish on it, it was at the end of the day, it was actually like my third cast so I really didn't get to throw this thing a good bit. There's a lot of grass on the bottom but I kinda wanna see, this is like the clearest pond I've ever fished, like I'm literally watching my bait, it's crazy. I kinda wanna see how this jig's gonna act in the grass and I wanna get too much on it. Just wanna make sure it's gonna be able to go through this stuff, there's actually a little bit of slop on the bottom and this is a skipping jig so I kinda wanna skip it around a little bit, see how it glides across the surface. If you could watch that TikTok, I'll actually play it right now. Nice little fish, at the end of the day, it's like a catch one right there. That was like my first couple casts with it so it seemed like it glides pretty good. Let's get a good little cast, that's horrible. It's so weird when I go to, like if I'm trying to skip without actually knowing what I'm skipping on it, okay, let's give it one more. One more good skip and that's a horrible skip. And this is my first couple casts of the day too. Let's see. Okay, skipped about six, seven times right there. Not bad at all. You know, if we're fishing cover lay-downs and I actually had a target to throw at, you know, I'd be a lot more accurate and skip a lot better. But let's go ahead and start fishing guys. I'm gonna let you guys know how this jig is. I haven't gone jig fishing in a minute so I'm actually, I'm pumped about it. I think we're gonna catch a good one today. So let's hop into the video. Yes, look at that. I literally watched her to meet it. This water is so clear. Yo, that is awesome. Oh my gosh, she came out of nowhere like a rocket right towards that jig. Look at that beautiful fish. Oh man, you gotta love that. This clear water is so much fun. Pretty little guy, nothing big but hey, to start off the day, I will not complain. Fletcher's still rigging up, that was like instant. That was instant. Maybe they're gonna bite good today. That's a good sign. And with it being clear, I kinda wanna throw a lot further than I would normally throw on this bank. And I'm actually like watching my jig. Oh gosh, there's one right there. Just swim and watch this guys, watch this, watch this. He sees me. He's gonna eat it. Let me just play with him. Yeah, he sees me. He's a little spooked. I'ma really right past his face. Oh man, I wish you guys could see this. This is like the clearest pond. Oh my God, I have another one on it. I think he just ate it. He came off, this is insane. Dude, it's so clear Fletcher. Just like a pound. Dude, it is so cool. I've never seen a pond this clear in my life dude. One, fish are biting. And two, it's just really cool sight fishing them. I don't know if you guys can see it though. I was hoping the GoPro would capture that on camera. We're about to have some, oh yes. One just ate it. There he is. Oh my God, this is crazy. Look how beautiful this is. Let's go. Hey, they're not big, but when you're actually watching the fish eat your bait, I literally watched them from the other side of the pond. That's how crystal clear this water is. Oh man, this is so much fun. Haven't thrown a jig in a while. We get out today just pretty day outside. And we're just sitting here smacking them. That is so much fun. What is good, brother? Hey buddy, look at my new merch buddy. Can I feature your new merch in the video? Check this out, there's a little sneak peek right here. Oh nice. Does it look really good? I like it. I'm glad you got them. Well stay tuned for Adub's merch coming soon. I got one. Always got it again. What? I got a stretch in my line. They might be loaded on that bank. Just a long cast to hook a fish on. Oh, he's following it out. I could see him. Holy cow, he's out here in the middle. He's got it. Oh, that's a good one. Oh yeah, that's a good one. Look at that. I ain't no little one pounder. Looks like he's two. Nice, look at that. Pretty clear water. Look at that, it's crystal clear. So pretty. Let's go. He ain't quite two, but he's a solid probably one and a half. Bigger than the last two I caught. Get out there in the middle, pretty fish. Little thick, chunky guy. Thank you so much for biting, buddy. We're gonna get a little nice release since we're by the water. Enjoying life, catching fish. That's what it's about. There he goes. Let's throw it back in there. We're gonna go right back over there. I know there's some more fish. I pulled off a ton of fish off that spot. There's probably five over there. So making that long cast. They don't know I'm here all the way up. I got one. Oh yeah, he's running with it. Yep. They're stacked on that bank. Making that long cast. Oh, look how clear that water is. He's a really small one. Look at that. You cannot beat that, guys. You cannot beat that. Look at that. It's just so cool to watch these fish swim in this water. Look at that right there. There's right there on the other side of the bank. There's a lot of fish stacked up around there. And as we were just talking about these fish get a little more spooked in clear water. They know you're here. But making that long cast to this other side of the bank is getting a lot of bites just because we're way far away from over there. See if we can get another one. Bites actually really soft too. Oh, there he is. Yes. Guys, this is so much fun. Oh man, they're not big, but let me tell you catching these fish in this crystal clear water right here watching them fight when they come back in catching them on a jig. It's just a lot of fun, man. It's a lot of fun. Hopefully we'll get on some bigger ones here in a bit but we're just enjoying life. Enjoying fishing, having a good time, beautiful day outside. It's been raining recently. So gotta think of it that way. It's just pretty, pretty day, pretty best. And I'm liking the jig so far. Not gonna lie, it is smoking then. I believe if I had a black and blue one on it probably wouldn't be catching them as good. But since I got this little natural color they're smoking it. That was a bad right there. No way. That was a fish on bed. Who's about to eat it? He's about to eat it. I can't want him. Is this TikTok content? That's a TikTok video. I'm sorry guys. If you guys want to see some clips like that and me catching them on bed, look you took one of my crawls. Go head over to my TikTok because I'm gonna go catch this fish and put it out there. So we just came back to the golf cart. I wanted to show you the pack of bait so I was gonna grab. These are the rage crawls. They're just green pumpkin. Smell like coffee. Smells amazing. I used to use these all the time. Like if you go back in my videos and go to my tournament fishing days, like if I threw a crawl it was a rage crawl. And I have a lot of confidence in the bait. One of my favorite crawls out there that's ever been made in the fishing market. So it's just awesome to be partnered up with this company guys. Awesome people over there. And I'm looking forward to the big things that we're gonna be dropping soon. Follow me on TikTok as well. We're gonna go over there and catch a few fish on bed. Go follow me over at TikTok, kickin' the bass TV. We're about to hit a million. Oh, that's a good one. That's the biggest one yet. Yep, that's a two pounder. Easy two pounder. Look at that. Yes, we're upgrading. Let's go. A little two pound action. Thump the crap out of it too. Pretty guy, chunky guy. He's probably pushing too. He's high one. I'm looking through the goper right now and this fish literally looks like it's a pound. So weird. I don't know why the goper does that. Maybe it's the wide angle. I don't know. I promise you this fish is a high one. On the camera, he looks like he's about half a pound, but hey, we're having fun. Look at that. That is so cool. That is so cool. That bite was so good too. Dude, they're stacked on that bank. They're good ones too. That's a two pounder. It's tossin' that jig, bro. They're freaking smoking it. Like they are crushing this jig. If you throw it over here, bro, they're stacked here if you wanna catch some. That's a pretty one. Give him a little tiny toss. Nice. That was two casts in a row on this spot. Oh, he's just ate me. I watched it. Not a bad one. I watched him eat it. There was another fish with him. Look at that pretty bass. Guys, they were crushing this jig. I know at the beginning I was like, yeah, I'm gonna give him a little review on this jig. Well, let me tell you, I got nothing but positive things to say about this thing right now. The hookup ratio is good. It's catchin' fish and it's just a pretty natural color and these bass are loving it in this clear water. When you're fishin' clear water, I like to throw your green pumpkins, your watermelons. This color is like a green pumpkin. Let me show you. A green pumpkin with blue swirl in the skirt. And then this crawled-down throwing is just a green pumpkin rage crawl. So it's very natural. When you're fishin' this clear water, I like to throw green pumpkins and watermelons. If I'm fishin' dirty water, I like to throw black and blue, your red and blacks. And that's kind of what I'll live by when it comes to bottom baits. He's right there in that little cubby. I think there's another one. Yep. Dude, that's a good one. Fletcher, look how big this one is. That's like a three pounder. Oh, nice. Is he? No, he's not. He's like a high two. He came off. Let him just roll back in the water. Dude, he rolled back in the water. I still grabbed him. That fish is close to two pounds. They look big in the clear water. But, that's a fat guy, bro. They look like they're a half a pound on a GoPro, but, we were just talking, I was talking to the GoPro. I'm like, they look so small, but I promise you they're a little bigger. Honestly, yeah. Like it's an awesome, sorry. No, Florida is such a, that's actually a good one, isn't it? Is that a three pounder? Dude, it's so hard to tell in the clear water, they look a lot bigger. Don't they look like, it's so cool. Oh, it's so cool watching them swim in this stuff, dude. Oh yeah, that's probably the best one yet. Solid two pounder. Pretty colors on them. He thumped that thing good, guys. I was talking to Suzanne and all of a sudden, I felt my rod like about to come off, pull out of my hand. Pretty fish right there. Just enjoying it, guys. They're smoking this jig and fishing clear water with that jig is just a lot of fun. All right, so we're walking down to this other side. I'm gonna stay far off the bank. So watch this. I'm gonna stay like kind of like this and I'm just gonna watch. Okay. I'm just gonna walk down the bank. Normally I'd be fan casting, but since the water's so clear, I don't wanna spook those fish by being up close to that shore. And two, I can just sight fish them. If I could, like, I haven't done sight fishing in a while, so I'm kind of enjoying every second of it. So we're gonna stay far off the bank, look in the water. These Walmart sunglasses are not the best. By the way, everybody asked me where I get my sunglasses. I literally buy $10 Walmart sunglasses, like. I'm very basic, man. Oh, I usually have a pair of Ray-Bans here and there, but I just kept breaking them or losing them. And I was like, you know what? Walmart is the move for my sunglasses for the time being until I come out with some kickin' the bass ones, which will be soon. Stay tuned for that. Oh yes, multiple, multiple. Watch those guys. I kind of spooked them. Just being so finicky, always looking at it. There's so many, holy cow. You just ate it. I don't wanna walk up, there's so many fish. We're gonna, so this is what we're gonna do. We don't wanna spook those fish, we wanna catch them, right? So I just caught this one. We're gonna throw it right here in the water. I apologize, I probably shouldn't have done that. Whatever, next time we'll release them down by the water. I'm sorry. I don't like promoting throwing fish like that. But we're keeping it raw, man. Unless I'm a better person every day, so if we live and we learn. We might just have a crazy little time in this little pocket. Like I said, you find one fish, you find five. Oh, gosh, that's a good one. Oh yeah, that's the best one today, isn't it? You're close to it. Oh man, dude, we're doing it, we're doing it. You just pay attention to what I'm doing here. I'm not throwing the fish back where those fish are. You know, I don't wanna spook them, I don't want them, they don't even know I'm here. I'm standing up on this hill, flipping in front of them. I'll be very surprised if we get another one to bite, but what a good little fish right there. Almost two pounds, get him back in the water. There she goes. I just caught Fletcher over here. I want him to catch a few. I'll be very surprised, man, we caught two right here. I don't know. Oh my gosh, that's a good one. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that's a big one. Oh, look at that one. That is a stud, that is a stud. That's what we've been waiting on all day. Oh man, that's a stud, bro. Yeah, that's a good, that's the best one today. Look how fatty he is. They're going that corner, oh God, I got ants on me. They up in there? I got fire ants on me. Yeah, there's more Fletcher that you guys can catch. I'll let you kind of play with it. Guys, look at that, that is a stud. It's a solid two and a half pounder. Maybe a little bigger, that's just a freaking football. Give him a little toss back in this water. That's the ones we're looking for today. We haven't really caught any good ones, but that is a good fish, a little tiny bass swimming all. Thank you, buddy, for biting. God, that's a stud. Let's go, let's try to get another one.
