So anyway, they're linked down below and Now it's time to go bass fishing We're gonna do some bassin and also probably snatched some crappies I've got I've got some stuff. I'm experimenting with for crappie as well It's coming down the pipe. Maybe a little early that I can say that but coming down the pipe Just had my first bite After throwing them on or switch to a rattling net, which is about oh 10 inches shorter I go pro just Died so I'm gonna fish Push this little little drop off here a little bit more Yeah, I can at it. Oh, I'm just picked it up right here The drop on little buddy. What's bad when they're dropping a net a lot of times though if you're fishing around some sort of brush or cover with with a plastic worm and you're getting these Little nips and then nothing's there. I mean feel or it feels like a thump and You go to set the hook and nothing's there. It's a attack. It's actually a crappie Good rock right there. That's where we should get bit I'm gonna switch my color on a crank to something flagrant Crank around a little bit with it With it. Good. Here that's at the egg. Oh, I come on man Big cast on that point crappie little crappies twerking on my tail Well, bam, sorry, buddy. I have tried and tried There's like two bass that were swimming around this deal. I had to get them to fire on my Bass lures. I just didn't want to do it Crack them get them right in that schnooter too. They're slurping this one They are slurping it deep. They look familiar to some of you May look a little familiar Little boy. I'm noticing when I catch those crappie the bass little outer globs right here You're a little excited. I was thinking maybe I just need to Got another one on need to put on like a swim bait or something Contender tied on see if I can get one of these blobs to react to this thing Down there shouldn't have any problem getting it on the scope Something falling it. Okay. I just been a big curious crappie. Oh Look at that Huh interesting little lure there wonder who gave me those Hmm boy something just came over there and just gave it the old smack smack It happens to be one of the largest crappie in that pile Could not stand that swimming action over the top of it Fun times. Come on big Bertha. Oh Oh boy Bertha done tapped it. That was a bass strike. Just spit it spit it quick See a thick Blob right in the middle of this pile You guys look closely That pile there's a bass just right in the thick of it right in the midst of everything I'm trying to work this mondo worm through there and give him the bite. I Don't know if that's what hit me the first time. It could have been a crappie But that that fish is just buried in that pile Getting crappies Loose mouth Big boy big boy. Oh, that's the biggest of the day right there now Just Smacking it. I can't believe I'm letting him go What does that look like Very interesting. Oh y'all I am going to Make another move here. Just having fun giving her a dangle Really like to get me a bass. I don't want these piles though Watts I don't know how I'm supposed to not go catch this fish when I see them like that The idea is to have fun and get a tug. I'm gonna have some fun and get a tug micro swim baits Over the piles little tasty units Imagine five of these on an A-Rig What that would look like They're coming way off the pile. Look at this thing Way off the biggest ones in the pile will come get that swim bait first off The other ones you got a You got a dabble with That's a big juicy eater there fell right out Another one right there my goodness About 30 or 40 more But I'm gonna move on so at this point in the day y'all You know, it's probably about noon Yeah, 1158 You know, if you if you were shallow fishing in the morning that would most likely be done when you got bright skies The fish are just gonna they're gonna do three things. They're gonna go deep to find cooler water They're gonna go to the shade Because that'll be cooler and the sun won't be in their eyes or they're gonna find some sort of current So those see those are the three things you need to look for in the summer and right now I'm looking for a deep and cover basically brush Rock some of these Deeper rock stuff right now and I've got my big worm my big summer meal big worm like this is the Mondo is Good Really starting in May when they get postponed all the way through the fall. I like it through November You know, you can fish the fish a big old straight tail worm as well Something about worms in jelly colors So I like red bug. I like june bug. I like plum Saw a little crappie come up right there all those jelly and jam type colors Don't know what it is, but they seem to really like it blue fleck Stick with those purples and reds Really seems to do well Chesty dead We're gonna take that off Oh, it feels good. They don't have a bra on You thinking about it. I have spent Probably a good Decade of my life with a chesty on Not a GoPro ever since the hero one when I started this channel crank jig worm Dirty there's just not a spot. I can't catch them at my gosh Oh my gosh, it's a big one flight line croppy jig and this is gonna be the first sizable bass caught prototype. Oh my gosh, man That's so fun y'all so fun. I swear when you're summertime croppy fishing This just it just happens. It's one of the reasons. I love it. You just get around both things Just more stoked and what I'm catching it on right now Noodle a noodle rod It's unreal. Sometimes you throw up throw the kitchen sink at them You know big worms big cranks big jigs whip out a croppy jig and a little little minnow style bait you're just so You're just so big and nice. I love you Look at that That is something cool right there So cool, you know, that's like a four pounder right there really nice fish I'm actually gonna throw it in the box real quick for a pic. There's that a little bitty bait Fat bellied fish ready to go. I put them in the live well recovered And now we're gonna put them back in the water and release them get going get going Get back down there. There you go You might have noticed right there that A fish was slow to swim off and that's because you know, it was a long fight on the spinning rig Got it in but I put it in the live well immediately I let it sit in there on the re-circ For, you know, a couple minutes then when the fish look recovered, you know, stabilized on the bottom What flipping over anything got it out took a quick photo actually didn't take photo I just rolled on the camera and then let it go and then one of the things that I don't do anymore. I'm guilty of and I'm sure some of us are guilty of is We'll ride around in the boat Uh all day on a hot summer day like this, you know catching them Deep and then we'll get a nice sack of fish and we'll take a big photo and it looks great Looks great on on instagram and all that stuff, but Some of those fish will end up Not doing well, you know, just rubbing against other fish in a packed spot with With unless you're putting ice on them and taking extremely good care of them Some of them just end up dying as I get older. I just realized fish care is super important So just make sure that fish is going to recover Also catching it out of 20 feet of water that fish needs to swim back down and swim bladder is adjusted For deeper conditions and you catch them in shallow water in the summer. It doesn't matter as much but Sometimes if you just let them go right away after a long fight, they they won't do so well So, um, I just like to make sure the live well is full put on the aerator Let them recover and give them a couple minutes and then release them back in the water So don't take take too long on your photos for the grams And i'm just so excited about the baits that i'm holding in my hands right now I've been working since the spring Panfish stuff y'all panfish stuff is specifically croppy Something i'm passionate about. I know everyone's really getting into it and We're trying to design some really good Croppy baits that are just as good as bass lures that you would throw so same same type quality And what do you know they catch bass to might as well keep the croppy jig in my hand. I'm gonna catch an eight pounder It is a toasty roasty out here Think I just found a few more bass awesome rock So i'm gonna throw that worm out there, man Trying to get that that one last big one Save these croppy for another day. I don't have time right now to go back to the house Clean them do a fish fry because we were in like the final hours of uh, a baby coming Got honeydews got things to do for little baby ben gets here. Just hoping that all goes well This is my last dangle Before uh before he gets here. So just enjoying it, man. I can't wait to come out here with them And emi too. And in fact, we did some of these new baits testing them out on some other pan fish bluegill Last night. Check this out. Wow. Wow emi You're doing so good Okay, you want me to unhook it Reeling them in Amy rackly catching them on some prototype googen baits Love to see it. You are smiling You almost got em in. There he is Good job. Okay. Now we gotta take him off the hook Is that new? Is that face new? Yeah, and what color is that? That's right You want to let him go or do you want daddy to Me? Say bye-bye Bye-bye Good job Catching release So she can always say she was the first person to catch fish on those little teeny micros Of the uh little saucies. We're we're trying to narrow down sizes and things like that But those little tiny ones for for bluegill are just perfect. Anyway, I'm gonna grab Not something tiny something big 15-ish just crappie all over this Offshore stuff Y'all are gonna make me do it, aren't you? Get out my crappie jig Big boy. Come on out Yeah, you got him on that swimmer the racing stripe It's a good one to end on right there y'all. I don't know if y'all can see this but there's a little racing stripe down his back It's pretty cool. It's over My last dangle before baby is here and if y'all Mothers and fathers out there, you know how it is. It's gonna be a lot of Babies crying taking care of mama All that fun stuff But I actually had a really good dangle today and enjoyed it ended up catching a A big fish a monstrous fish for the setup I was using Uh, but really fun. I just wanted to quickly Show you guys some stuff that we've been working on We actually brought on an engineer this year that is a really smart young guy graded CAD designs and He likes to work on swim baits and things So he has uh, he already has a knowledge of what is going to work in the water A pretty good working knowledge of what's going to work in the water. So We already had some some molds Some they work quite the soft plastic and I'd already looked at some things But this was actually these last two days was my first time actually getting to fish These baits that are in the high quality plastic The one I was catching the most fish on was really just a modified Dart, so it was made Reducing the hooks hook slot reducing the size. I've actually got three different sizes in here These don't have official names yet That'll have something to do with with the dart. I'm sure And it thickened up the body made it squadier to to really conform to that jighead style of fishing And these aren't just shrunken down. It's not like you just put it in the program and shrink it down You have to uh, modify the bait with length Thinness in certain areas. The amazing thing about the swim baits even the really tiny ones That I noticed when I was blue go fishing with emmy that tail actually kicks the other one That I got bites on but I wasn't able to to get them to fully inhale was basically a modified Grub with a with a mondo worm style tail It'd be a great little trailer on some things Look how tiny that is y'all and the other thing is Then I was I was worried about was If the crappie we're gonna like nip the tails off because you know, you can have things that are too skinny and plastic that are Uh, the fish will rip off. Um, I caught 20 It's probably around 20 fish on uh on one single plastic on the jighead between Going out last last night last evening and then today Of the bass that I caught actually tore it up and um the bluegill You know they after catching like five or six of them Uh, they ripped the tail off the tiniest Of the saucy so the tiniest thinnest plastic that did but um, I like the soft consistency I feel like it just it gets bites I even think some of this stuff can be used in northern applications where you've got like a lot of small Minnows little glass minnows Things of that nature, but man, I'm just excited to fish this stuff y'all. Um, I'm impressed with it already And uh, we're gonna be catching them for the grease here shortly So I'm gonna take all this info that I got on it now and take it to the office and uh, and then we'll go from there And keep building and guys. I may be Out of commish for a little while On on the vids. I'm gonna do some short form content on instagram and tiktok, but Um, I'm excited to bring baby ben into the world. I'm gonna spend some good quality time with him Um, probably not gonna do too much fishing Uh while he's here and just just enjoy his presence. So, uh, thank you guys again for for uh for praying for us and um Just being here on this channel for so many years Two kids later can't believe it Have a good time. Have a good dangle. May god bless you and your outdoor adventures and I will see you That's a big one Okay, throw them back. Good job Okay, good job time for bed Give it a dangle right for a bedtime. Oh man, are you gonna have fishy dreams? You dream about catching fish
