 Yes, that's when we need buddy. It's when we need buddy. What is popping people? Welcome back to another episode today. We got a big day because it is Cody Mr. Camera and Cody behind the camera. It's his first tournament today fishing just a little night tournament You know, we went out on the lake with my boy Clint. He puts on a bunch of tournaments and they had these little Thursday nighters They're from like 545 to 9 o'clock. You got three hours to try to catch fish So we're gonna go out here today on the Ogichi River See what we can do and we were out there yesterday just for a little bit You know, we took out monster Mike Todd, you know, big boy and we arm wrestled him afterwards But we were only out there for like an hour and then we spent a little bit more time later Just see if we can put some together But I think it's gonna be a little tough here at the beginning the tide is gonna be high But this is gonna be outgoing. So as the tournament goes on, I believe the bites gonna pick up a little bit better I have a game plan in mind on where we want to be But when we get to the lake, I'll kind of spill all that to you guys right now We're rigging up some rods. So I got this right here a little mock crush rod custom pro reel and then I have a Mock two right here with a custom or not custom pro custom black As well and then I have a couple kicking combos over there that we're gonna be spooling up Just kind of getting everything ready couldn't get as broad right here. We need to put some line on that Just kind of get prepared, you know today I told Cody, you know, we're just gonna go out there and have fun But we're also gonna put our heads down and just laid on the table You know, we're gonna fish our butts off for three hours and try to get five bass So they're gonna out beat everybody. So it's gonna be fun having fish to turn them in a long time Think it's my first term at this year. So we're gonna have fun with it and see if we catch some big fish That is hole number one done Custom black mock crush look at spicy little spinnerbait on spinnerbait action Got a little stinger hook on this thing as well Usually I was just telling Cody, I don't throw them on the river because you know, you're throwing around a bunch of One thing we got to do Cody, that's a very important tournament talk Yeah, I just just about to hook that on and look how at least my drag is yeah So last thing we wanted to get out there and then be screwed, you know Yeah, I got a few times where I've like rigged up the night before and I go out in the tournament I end up missing a fish because I didn't type my drag the reason I usually don't throw the stinger hooks on the Rivers there's so many laydowns when you're throwing around those, you know You can end up getting snagged up really easy, but what I will say If a fish isn't eating it all the way with that stinger hook and end up Having a better hookup ratio. So there's benefits with it, especially fishing today You know, if we don't want to miss any fish we get a bite. We want to get them in the boat All right, we've got to whip out the chocolate chip muffins. We've got to get it started We're about to go have some fun. Cody's first tournament ever or something get out here fish hard You know put her heads down Cover a lot of water try to figure these bass out and hopefully catch them real good Probably got about 15 boats out here not too many just a little local pot tournament You know I fished a few of these before a bunch of cool guys and just come out here have fun You know a little meet and greet every single week and try to compete against each other We went a little bit of cash. So we're gonna go make it happen. You ready Cody? I'm ready, dude. We gotta make it happen brother. Let's get it your first tournament. We got to win this thing Oh, yeah, these chocolate chip muffins are gonna be the reason secret sauce All right, we just got out to our first spot today. See we started off full pooled water's finally going out I wanted to go down river over here by all this marshy stuff Because what I've learned when fishing out here There's water down here drops a lot quicker than the water past the bridge over there So my gut feeling was telling me a second ago. Hey, we need to go down. So we're gonna fish over here for a little bit we're gonna fish fast productive a lot of good cast and Just see if we can get some fish in the boat anything in the first hour here in my opinion is a bonus I think these fish are really gonna fire up in the last hour hour and a half two hours. So Let's go ahead and get the work and make it happen. Let's get it. Cody. Let's get it. No mistakes, brother We're gonna capitalize have the net ready. We're gonna catch these fish. Oh, yeah This current is whipping. Let's get it brother. Oh There's a bite dude. Oh my gosh, man How in the heck did you not hold on to that? That was a good bite, dude right where you're at Might eat that worm you could bite again Sitting in this current like that. I mean it Had to have been a good one Yeah, this spot just needs a little more time to ripen up, but we're gonna we're gonna fish this Right here, and then we'll head out hit a few main river spots and then come back in here There you go. There you go first fish. Oh my gosh, big one You're not the ones we're looking for Cody not those Come on man. It's 12 pounders. Was that a bite? Yeah, I saw your rod. Yeah I got one. That's a big That was a mud. I hope it was my bad. That's definitely a mud with those tees marks All I felt with one tick it wasn't like a mud bite Yeah Felt so good too is just like boom and he had it Dang mud fish My he moved my whole rod Cody you hit it so hard Let's say we skedaddle Cody. We'll come back here. Um, we just it needs at least another 20 minutes To get right to where these fish a position on it correctly But it's okay. We gave it a shot. We had a few bites, but They're not on it how we how we want them to Yeah, we're gonna head to our second spot. See we came over here The water is just not low enough right now Once I this spot's weird. It's like when the water gets right and catch them really good But you don't really want to spend too much time here If I was just fun fishing today, I'd say all right We could spend about 20 minutes in this cut and let it get right, but we got to keep moving today Keep making casts make sure we're in the right spot. So We're gonna go ahead and get out of here fish a few of these little main river spots That kind of looked right see if we can just catch one or two to start off with Oh Put it in the water First bass buddy All right guys, let's just get our first fish of the day not a big one, but a little fat dude He's going in the box right there got to start off somewhere And uh, I am fine with starting off with this guy right here. Let's go. Give me some brother This is a start. All right. So we've got our first fish today Which is always one of the best feelings in the world. We had two other bites there. So these fish seem to be Pulling up on all this stuff We're gonna hit one more spot real quick spend about 10 minutes there And then we'll come back to the spot because when you're fishing tidal water and moving water These spots tend to replenish so in five 10 more minutes I could go catch a fish in the same spot that I caught that one. So that's kind of the game plan We're gonna run over here and I think we can get one or two more All right, Cody We got our well more first tournament best The first one's always the best feeling And then when you put number five in the box And then when you put a eight pounder in the box Yeah He was up. Dude, I made that cast probably four times really Yeah We'll fish here for just a couple more seconds and we have one we can run to and then we'll probably run right back to this And see if it's replenished That's the cool thing about fishing these tidal water fisheries and rivers is these spots can replenish in five minutes You know with all this water That was our third bite on this spot. So there's definitely more fish here Won't spend too much time here, but we'll fish it productively Oh, gosh. That's a big boil. I don't know what that was Something's swimming right there. Oh, I got a bite. I got him He spit it out He's running with it Such a soft bite too Should be able to get him to eat again though Dang, that was a soft bite And he took one of my ventures. I don't think he had it all the way Yeah Oh Dude, what in the world? He pulled back on me that time It's a mud Hey, they're here brother. This is the timing deal All right, we just got to execute on them. I had two bites. You just had I know it's a mud, but Yeah I know I'm about to say your rod was bent over. I look down the nets and all that fun I saw your rod bent. I was like, oh He cast a cast up in that little spot. I'm gonna show you this girl Is it a bass? I'm gonna flip He might be 12. We can measure him out. That's actually cool for you to see Like let me know when you get him off the hook I might it might just been some small ones. He's flattened down Front lip touches up there So he's only 11. Yeah, so he won't measure There you go. Got your first tournament fish not a keeper, but You got something you gotta start somewhere with it. You got him? Yeah Vass? Yep Good job, Cody That was red, dude. Yeah, everything in that tannic water. Look at that. Good job. Thanks, man. Let me just throw him in the lavo Keep going There we go. Cody got our second fish Not a big one, but Nice, buddy Good job. It's your first tournament bass Like official Dude, they're just slamming it and they're not eating it all the way And that's exactly where I caught that first fish like same cast He kind of scared me when we were first doing it because he was like, yeah, you know It's like a little bit of tension right here and it'd snap your arm and I'm like Oh gosh, it's good. That's a big one, dude Yes Yes, that's the one we need, buddy. It's the one we need, buddy Give him that There we go. Two pounder. That's as fat as can be you two, dude. There should be some more up here Yep Look at that one, Cody. That's a good one, buddy. Awesome It's the ones that we need There should be another one up there Man, I had a gut feeling I didn't know if we should go to that spot or try a good thing. We try to look how fast that train's going. Oh my god Yeah, I got him. Yeah, I'm both looking Nice. Number four, baby Number four, Cody Yes It's crazy how these spots can turn on it instantly, ain't it? Dude, all of a gut feeling right here. We weren't even going to fish this. We're going to go up Yeah What you got to do in these tournaments, buddy He's as big as that last one, but he's a fish I think he's bigger than the other two we got, but I'm not sure that's going to be a pain once we start colon I'm gonna put them on my with my other one on the right. I think he's a little bigger I wish I had colon tags. I've been so out of the tournament scene. Yeah Usually what colon tags do you have these little clips? You clip on them so you can Like say our smallest one we put on like a green clip I always put it on green. Green means go. Yeah, I've been seeing them on like eight of channel Yeah, yeah, you put a little colon. It helps so much You know, what's good is that cypress tree is probably going to be the same way, brother You'll be able to I got one Oh, he came off Dude, he had me over that thing That was number five casting there See I have a little bit of stuff on there. He had me wrapped around that log Can't feel big, but like you see the log That seems right on that. I kind of I didn't really stick in Get him boy I don't even know if he's 12, is he? No That's why I missed him Got him There's more though Dude, there's so many fish on this one All right, we'll throw a couple more casts and then we'll go up to those trees right there Fish those and then we'll come right back to this and it should be replenished Yep, got him Number five, baby It's a number five Get her on up in there Who is she gonna be close? I really carried away one in this size, but if she's number five, she's number five She's 11 and a half That's usually the hot hot zone. I'll give this another good pound and a half, two pounder Or four pounder, you know You got him? You don't both of them? I saw keeper buddy. That's him. I think that might be number five. We'll check. Look how fat he is. He's just not long Oh man, when you hook said he seemed big Even after like after I saw how small he was he he the crazy thing is like how many times we casted that he's only 11 Yeah, it's all good. Oh, he's bleeding go ahead and throw him better. Just kind of dip it in the water Nice Not the keeper we wanted, but We're picking up the pace. I like it I mean, yeah, there's a lot. I mean, there's a lot of small fish in here. You got to you got to always keep Keep moving and catching them. All right guys, we got four fish right now One of them's not bad. The others I'd kind of like to get out of there But right now we're just trying to get that one last keeper, you know seal that Five bass limit up and then we can start worrying about colon So now it's about that time that we're going to head up river at 745 right now. We got about an hour 10 minutes left So we're going to give it all we got guys. I think we can uh One finish out our limit and two pull out some of those small ones and put us in a good position Dude, what in the heck? I think so Dude, I thought you had a big bass, bro You got her you want me to help you? Oh man, I thought you had a big bus Oh, you got it perfect too stop There's no way Oh It snapped my hook, but my weight just slingered me. Look at it. It's right here, dude I think it literally felt like a bullet Oh Dude, dude Yeah, I got him how many things I'm measure He had me wrapped around. Yeah I'm here after on that lock barely hook Yeah, like hook said he felt big, but It's had me around it looks like they're all heading there Probably just headed in there He said nine nine fifteen is nine right now it is dark and gave her a roll. I mean you can't Can't see we did it threw it all on the table so I just If we would have stayed on that end, I think we would have All right guys, we just got back to the boat ramp and about to put the boat on the trailer We still have our fish in our live well We have four which we don't have much weight at all and we haven't really talked to anybody with much weight Clint has a limit Right when we pulled out of the spot. He said he went in there and just started smoking them So man, we had fun. Do you have fun Cody? I had a lot of fun first tournament. Yeah learned a good bit I mean for us to come out here for the first time on your first tournament and almost catch a limit It just sucks to not seal that deal, bro Even if it was just a little 12 inch here, I would like plus we've never fished here together Either so no, we haven't I mean we haven't fished out here and like I haven't fished out here rather than one time with allen bob in like I want to say eight months. So I mean we came out here covered a lot of water and had a good time and I just enjoyed it Man, I love fishing these little tournaments like this. I wish we could have done better But um, I guess we'll see what ends up winning it. Yeah, either way. I had a good time, bro Thanks for bringing me out. Heck yeah, bro. We'll do it again 10 pounds leading All right guys. These are our fish right here I only probably have about six pounds 10 pounds ended up winning. I believe I'm gonna go to confirm but I'm not gonna go weigh them in I'm just gonna release them and get them back in the water all healthy Man, I had a good time though.
