 I got a fish! Oh! You're shaking my hand, you're shaking my hand. I think they're fake! I think they're fake! First one, look at that beautiful fish on a drop shot! Guys, I think this is the viral video. I think we got it. Let me show you guys. Luke master. All gassed up. We're ready to get this fishing trip on the way, guys. Today we're actually going out on Lake Lanier. I got a special guest today. It's going to be an awesome trip. I'm going to take you guys along with it, vlog the whole thing. Try to teach you guys a little bit of something about Lake Lanier. It's going to be a great video, so stay tuned. Be sure to turn on post notifications and hit that subscribe button. As you guys can tell, I'm not in the new truck. I'm actually on my old truck, but let me tell you why. I actually don't have a hitch from an old truck. I need a specific drop hitch. I haven't been able to get it yet. So I'm actually towing the old tundra today for one of the last times. So this is actually very, very neat. So we're actually towing this today. We're going to be towing the boat with the old tundra. We're going to be getting out there on the water. Super pumped about it. Let's go ahead and get this video started. Just made it out on the water. Behind the camera, we got our mystery man today, which is a... Let me show you guys. Luke master. Just got on the water, guys. Behind the camera, we got the man, the myth, the legend. Luke master. Let me show you guys. Yeah, it's me. The sun's right behind me. How's that sun for you guys? So we got fluke master right here. We're out on Lake Lanier today. What are we doing today, man? I just want to catch a big spot. I literally have never caught a big spot on Lanier. I've caught more big, large mouth on this lake than I have spotted best. A lake that's known for spotted bass. So I actually took him out here last year. We had a great time. Honestly, it was a blast. We caught a lot of fish, but one thing that we didn't catch was big ones. So I mean, we had what? We had a few that were like three, three and a quarter. But we didn't have nothing massive. We didn't have any four pound spots, five pound spots. So that is our goal today. That's what we're going to go out and do. You guys look at the conditions, as you can tell. Super cloudy outside. Got a little ripple on the water. There's a little bit of wind pushing today and the sun's coming up right now. So we're about to get out there. Hopefully get a little bit of top water action. I have a feeling we're going to be throwing some swim baits today. And the water is crystal clear. That is the truth. I bet it's 20 foot visibility. Crystal clear water. Lanier is supreme clean water. Lanier is amazing. It's awesome. But we're probably going to fade towards the swim bait today. That's probably what we're going to be doing. I know in the last episode we were talking about swim baits, but we're probably going to be throwing some today with this ripple on the water. So let's go ahead and get out there and see what we can throw together. By the way, this guy right here, if you guys aren't subscribed to his channel, FlukeMaster, his name is Gene Jensen, if you guys don't know, but you guys know who this guy is. But go give him. There's still a lot of people that don't. You know what's crazy? So this morning when he was getting his little breakfast burrito, somebody commented on my Instagram story, I took a picture of your truck last night. They're like, is that your new truck? I was like, no, that's FlukeMaster. You got to go check him out on YouTube. So there are some people, but that's why we collab, guys. We're trying to share the love. We're trying to bring people on both of our channels. We're going to have a lot of videos coming soon. But I'm going to stop talking. Let's get this video started. We stopped it right here. Starting this off right now. I actually have a little gunfish on. It's actually chrome. Usually when conditions are like this, when it's super cloudy, I'm not going to throw a chrome. They usually fade towards a foam color or a white. But today I had the chrome on. I'm going to give it a try because I have seen it where some days they eat the chrome better. We're going to start off with this just to see what we can do. Let me see if we can get some to come up. The fish are going to be super scattered today since it's super cloudy. But I'm going to start off with this top water and then I'm going to move over to a swim bait to see if we can call some up. It feels like I'm almost on some fish in line. I got you. Are you starting now? They're not wanting to come up. Throwing a fish head on them. A real dead different water gone. I got a drop shot on them. Twinkie stick. There you go. Is it a big one? You never know with spots. You want me to get a net? It looks like you're getting a good one. Fluke's hooked up. It's a good one too. He keeps getting me in the brush pile. Get him out. Oh yeah. That's a good one. There you go, baby. First one. Look at that beautiful fish on a drop shot. Fluke got his first one. First one of the day. Beautiful spot. Look at that thing. I want you to look inside. You got a gut hooked fish. I'm going to show you guys how to get a hook out of a gut hooked fish without killing it. Okay. Take your pliers. Go in under the back gill. See how I'm going in? I'm finding that back gill. Actually, that was a little too tight. Let's go in between these two. Finally, we can get too high. Go through the gills. I'm going to get in there real good. This one's hard to film, so we're going to do our best we can. Grab a hold of the hook. Flip it over. Another thing is, guys, if you take that plastic out as well, so you can see a little bit better. If I couldn't see the hook, I would take the plastic out. Grab it. Probably not the best pliers to do this with, but rotate it and you see how that hook came out. You rotate it and pull it out like this out of the gut. No blood. And a beautiful fish right there. Good job. Here you go, brother. Good job. Since it's summertime, we ain't putting them in the box. Oh, oh, oh my God. Look at that little school. Holy smokes. Look at that. Look at all the babies. Looks like they're going to get one on the drop shot. Look how small they are. You're still looking at it. All right, guys, I don't know if you guys can see this. We're in about 20 foot right here. There's a brush pile. You got some fish right here. Fluke just dropped down with his drop shot. We're going to see if you can hook one. You got him? You made it happen. He's a little guy, though. He's a little guy. Well, you guys just witnessed it. A little drop shot right down on the fish. Uh-oh. Fluke's hooked up again as I'm rigging up. Is he a gobel, man? He's a metal one. Oh, yeah. How big? I think you have to get the net. Netman cameraman coming at you. Oh, boy. Yes, sir. Little fatty right there. Look. Good job. Let me explain to you why I love spotted bass fishing. They always feel two to three pounds heavier than they really are. That is the truth. That is only the truth right there. That's because of that big old wide tail that they have. Wow. That's a nice fish, man. Let's show my camera. Do it. Fluke's going to get a release on that, pretty guy. Fluke literally just hooked that fish as I was tying my drop shot on. It's going to be one of those days, guys. Slow fishing, drop shot. Let's get it started. To throw a little update at you guys. Three fish so far. Only three fish. It's been really rough. There's a lot of boats out here today. And this guy caught them all. He sucks. This guy literally caught them all. And I just don't understand. I'll get a bite and nothing. But all on a drop shot. All on a purple. Show them the worm that you're throwing. It's a robo worm. All on a purple robo worm right there. A purple worm. Literally every fish he's caught he hasn't. Have you had a bite on anything else? No. And they eat it. And they eat it. And I just, I don't get it. I had a pink robo worm on. I tied a drop shot on. And I had three bites. And some of them just, either they nibbled at it or they bit it in half. I don't know what's going on. Exactly. Right there. That explains it all. But we're about to go try to catch a few more fish. Let's see if we can throw that together. He's going to have to prove that he actually catches big fish. I don't know. I just, honestly, I just, I should give up after this. I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to be, you know, a fishing, a fishing guy anymore. I just might have to go play, you know, baseball or something. He's tugging. Man. You were getting ready to leave this spot. Throw one more cast. Come on, come on, man. All right. I give it to you. I give it to you. And I got his eye, too. No, he ain't getting away. No, it's because I got him. Oh, no, he doesn't. Yeah. He ain't got an eye. Oh, my gosh. I caught a zombie bass. I caught a zombie bass. Oh, man. Guys, I think this is the viral video. I think we got it. We caught a zombie bass. Ah. Literally a zombie spot. I think it's the first ever. It's going to go viral. All right, ladies and gentlemen, there's a little zombie bass. One eye. One eye, Willie. A little tiny dude. Let's get it back in the water. There he goes. I'm bolting eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did see that. What a show. A little baby guy on a blue drop shot. That's five fish on the drop shot. See the bait fish is just spit out. Look at his little stomach on him. Little dude. We are about to throw a big old glide bait. Okay. Nice, man. Nice. Where's the fish, bro? Where's the fish? Oh, I got a fish. Were you dead sticking a drop shot? Yeah. I know how to dead stick it now. I know the secret way. Oh, he's all fricking sludge. Oh, he's not too big. He's a decent one, though. All right, so I know what to do now. I know the secret and everybody's about to be revealed. The secret, all right? On the old drop shot. So what's your secret, though? So the secret is, this is the secret. We're going to have to show you guys up close and personal, but you got to cast out there. You got to let it sink all the way down. You set your rod down, all right? Just wash that line. Just take off, all right? You're throwing it through top water, your swim baits, and voila. That's how you get a fish right there. That's how you do it. Pro tips. Here we go, guys. A little beautiful fish. I'm going to get Flukemaster to get a little release on it. All right. Fluke's trying it, and he's going to win. I told you you had to dead stick him. Beautiful little fish. Nothing really big, but he's got a fat, old, little belly. Drop shot. I think this is what, number seven or eight? On the drop shot. There he goes. There he goes. Let's go, baby. All right, Fluke. So what's happening right now? What are we doing? We're going home. Actually, we're going to go to Bass Pro Shops because I need some split ring pliers. What else are we going to pick up? Split ring pliers. I think that's it. Maybe some tackle. I might pick up some tackle too. Some mystery tackle. So stay tuned for that video. Well, he needs to pick up something he can catch fish with because he couldn't catch fish today. That's true. That's true. All right, people. So we are, we are ending off today. It was, it was fun. You know, it was fun. It wasn't the lake linear that I'm used to. Fluke master kicked my butt. I'll just, I think I'll just take this. You're shaking my hand. You're shaking my hand. Listen. I think they're fake. I think the fish you catch out here are fake. Expose me, man. Expose me. I was telling him in his video, every time we come out here to try to film like a specific video, like if I have him out or I had Norm come out, it's just something always happens. It's just, they're not biting. And then I'll watch, I'll come out tomorrow and catch like 20 pounds. Yeah. That's just fishing for you guys. And when you, when you catch him on a drop shot dead sticking, you know, yeah, it's, it was super tough today. It wasn't something that, you know, it wasn't just a standard day on linear. It was actually really tough out here. It wasn't, it wasn't an easy day once so ever. And once we got out here, you know, it was a lot of clouds. And on Lake linear, on these herring lakes, you got to understand that this fish are Roman hard. It's not, you know, I was telling him, we're on chick right now. It'd be killer. Like how it was in the morning. Yeah. Herring are very nomadic. So they move a lot in the bass following, which is great. Which makes it hard to find fish. To be able to be successful on this lake, you got to be a good fisherman. You got to be a really good fisherman. It's, it's a tough, it's a tough fishery. It's a really tough fishery. But that's perfect. You learn a lot when you come out here. It's different than any place out there. You know, Lake linear is beautiful as well as clear water. As you can tell in the background, it's just an awesome fishery. And I got the river back in Savannah where I actually have my house. That's perfect. I made some two polar offices literally. But if you guys want to go check out foodmasters channel, be sure to do so. Show them a little worm that we're catching them on by the way. It was a robo worm that I had pulled out of a dusty old box in my house. I bought it a couple of years ago when I left linear. I said, this is a linear color. So it's a robo worm. My errands, something or another. It's just purple. So it's purple. Usually I'm using like a morning dawn or like a pink. But today it was totally different. It was like he caught three on that thing. And I was like, I was being so stubborn. I was like, it's time. It's time to switch over. So we had a decent all day. It was all right. Got them all on a drop shot. But go check out his channel. I flew master Gene Jensen. Man, it's a pleasure having you out. We're going to have a lot of videos coming soon guys. And I'll catch you guys in the next one. See you again. Bye. Bye. Bye.
