 Hope you guys are having a great day. Welcome back to another video today. We're at a place I've never been to before. We're going to be going out on the big boat. I'm super excited about it. If you guys are new to the channel, please hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell. Also hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. I got my bro Delton behind the camera. We're going to be trying to go fishing today. As you guys can tell, I got the big rig out today. Got a bunch of rods load up on the deck. I think we have 10, 11, 12, 12 rods on the boat because we're fishing a new body of water that I've never been to before. I don't really know anything about this place. We're actually going to take a run down there and I'm going to show you how today's laying out. So first look at my truck. I got mud all over the place, but I guess that's what I get for having a big offset on them tires right there. But let's go ahead and walk down in this pond and see what we're working with. So yesterday, it actually poured like all last night. It was a bunch of rain. That's the only worry today. Things going to hold back the fish from biting a little worried about how the fish are going to be positioned. Looking at this place, it is extra flooded. Let me tell you, I don't know if you guys can see that. Can they see that through the camera? Literally look over there and that dock is underwater. You can't even walk to that. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that one. It's super flooded. I mean, it's all the way up in the trees out here. This is a pretty big body of water, but it's also trolling motor only. As you what alligators, alligators, alligators. But yeah, as you guys can tell, it says trolling motors only outboards to load and unload only, which is cool. As you guys know, we don't have many places to fish out here. Found this place. A lot of people told me about it. I was like, you know what? We're going to try it out today and see if the fish are going to bite. I heard it's really tough, though. Like I heard this was like a tough place to fish. I'm curious to see if we're going to be able to figure them out. I got a mixture of baits tied on. So we have to go offshore a little bit. I don't know how deep it gets out there, or we're going to have to go probably skip all the way up under a lot of these trees because of how flooded it is. That's one thing I'm worried about. But let's walk right here. You got a pretty big boat ramp. I'm impressed by that. And it's a fairly big body of water. Look at this, dude. Somebody's going to have to get wet. God, that is so crazy. The wind's whipping today. One thing that I noticed was a bunch of trees out there, too. And you can barely see the tip of them. And we're not going to be running the big motor today. So I'm not too worried about that. But let's go ahead and get in the boat. We're going to back her in, get her in the water. And then I'm going to go over what rods we're going to be using today. Kind of the game plan to figure out these fish. Because like I said, I've never been here. It's a new body of water. I feel like this is going to be a cool video because I'm going to take you through the process of how we break down this lake, knowing that I know zero information about it. So this is going to be good. Let's go ahead and hop in the boat. Get on the water. Catch a big fish. Got to take a little schmedly break before the start. That's when they're going to be good, boys. Can't forget the old McDonald's cup. Old Delton. Back in the sun right now. Keep her coming, Delton. Jeez, man. Look how deep my car is in this. All right, well, we're all in. It is time to get to work and see what we can do out here today. Like I said, I've never been here, so I'm excited about it. It looks like a pretty big body of water out right here. It looks a little smaller, but it goes way down that way. There's a lot of wind and the water is moving really good. My only worry is like how flooded this stuff is. There's a bunch of pads right here. I smell fish. I can tell you that. I freaking smell them. There's probably some carp or catfish or something. Just scare yourself. Yeah, you might have to take your shoes off right there. Bro, you know this is actually two boat ramps. It's so flooded you couldn't see it. You went right. The curb was in the middle of the trailer. Yeah, I didn't even know that. I didn't know it either. I mean, I saw it. Like there's a curb. Like this is two boat ramps, but it looks like one big one. All right. It's just so flooded. What's up, brother? How you doing? Yeah, it is a little wet, a little flooded. Just anywhere in the grass over here? All right, that's cool. Appreciate it, man. Yep. You want to get it or you want me to get it? I wish you could have said that at least 30 seconds earlier. Yeah. My bad, Dalton. That was the DNR. And he said we can't park there. So Dalton's going to go mover over to the grassy area. There's a bunch of pads. A bunch of pad stems right here. Spinner bait might be some juice today. Water's pretty murky. It's been flooded. It's been raining. Spinner bait might be a go today. Could probably catch some fish. We actually talked to a guy that put in before us, or he actually was taken out when we got here. And he said he didn't catch nothing. So that's a worry, but at the same time, I think we're going to put our heads down today and try to catch a bunch of big fish. One thing to think about is these lily pads are fresh and new. And when they're coming up, it puts off a bunch of oxygen. Therefore, the bait fish are going to be pulling up. And the pads, therefore, the bass come. And that's what they're feeding on. So these lily pads are fairly new. You've got a bunch of stems. And you've got a bunch of full pads. They're submerged under the water a good bit. And you can actually toss spinner bait or swim jig. Swim jig almost works a lot better. But you can pretty much toss either a spinner bait or a swim jig inside these pads. And you can reel it pretty good, as you guys can tell. I mean, there's a ton of pads right there. I don't know if you guys can see that. I'm throwing right down the middle of that. Try this jig. I want to see how far those rocks come off. I know they're in here. Oh, that was a bite. One just hammered my blade, hammered my blade. Oh, he hit me again, dude. Yeah, it wasn't the world. I don't know if it's a bass. He's hit my blade. That was weird, unless he's on bed. He might be on bed right there, dude. He hit me twice. He hit my blade when I first casted in there. It could be a fish on bed, you know, they do. Oh, I thought that was a wake. About have a heart attack. What? Yeah. A bassy. You did have a wake. See, this spot looks so good. Stage up, you know, fish are pushed up in this and spawned. That is so good to know. I mean, it's a baby, but he hit the chatter bait. I thought I saw him waking up behind me. I was like, I got a fish. I'm about to say maybe we should throw like a little Texas rig around. I just wanted to know that there's fish in the area. So I'm about to rig up. I have an idea. So I got my Super 6 box. You guys are wondering about the Super 6. It's a monthly subscription box. And if you guys want to check it out, I'll pop my code on the screen and check it out down below. But that is enough of that. I'm going to pull out a bait that I got in here. This is actually one of my favorite boxes I've got yet. It's a divine swim jig right here. And it came with some swim baits, but they're regular white swim baits. Let me show you right here. Those are bigger ones. And what I think I'm going to do, I actually found some that I got not too long ago. I haven't got to try them yet. But it's got white with some sparkles on the bottom. And it's like a chartreuse swim bait. And I think it's going to look really good on this white and chartreuse swim jig, especially in this murky water, especially after it rained. Get that bright color in this dirty water. I think that's going to be really good. But I'm going to rig this up. I can reel this through the pads quite easy. The spinner bait, I can do that as well. But I think the swim jig is going to go through it a lot easier. And this also has the screw lock. So pretty much what you do is, all right, I'm going to rig my swim bait up right there. We're going to push it through. And now we're going to weave it up onto that. And that's what I really love about these divine swim jigs is that the bait, like you will literally put the swim bait on and probably catch around eight to 10 fish on it. It'll save you a bunch of money just because the bait's not flopping off, which I really love about it. And these soft plastics are very dense, kind of messed up a bit. We'll tear that down just a tiny bit. There we go. That is, dude, that looks nice, don't it? I love that. All right, let's tie that bad boy on and get to work. Just got this swim jig tied on, divine swim jig. I really love that pair up. I found these, when I saw these on their website, I was like, that would actually look really good on a white and chartreuse swim jig. And sure enough, it looks killer. So I'm excited about this. Water's really murky. I think it's going to be good. I'm going to drag. Little tight. Let's loosen her up. Little tight. I think I just got it not in my line. Yeah, I do. I'll probably just loosen it way too much. Oh, tie it down a little bit. A little bit more. A little bit more. Let's get the work of the swim jig. See, the swim jig is going to come right through these pads perfectly. Look at that. I literally just threw it in the middle of a pad patch. Watch me just reel this thing in. You can tell it's not even getting hung on any of those pads. It's going to right between them. And that is exactly what you want when throwing a moving bait in pads like this. Still see like a bunch of movement right there. Ooh, I got him. Right there in the current, dude. On that swim jig. Right there through the pads. Being go. He choked that thing. Oh, dude, there's a big, all right. I just figured something out really crucial. And we're about to start whacking them. We came up on it. We came on up on it wrong. Right there, there's so much water pumping in. You got a bunch of current right here. And I've seen fish chasing bait all throughout here. Dalton's going to get smoked on that too. But look how he ate that divine swim jig right there. He freaking ate that thing good. I threw it right there on the edge of those pads, drug it out to where this current is flowing water in. And boom, caught my first fish today. Not a big one, but that is a keeper right there. Look how chunky that one is. Like a little chunk. Pretty fish though. We're going to get to work now. If you guys have made it this far in the video, first of all, thank you guys so much. Hear me out for a second, because if you don't, you're going to be a little bit confused. And I can already see the comments rolling in down below. Well, anyways, we had a tough day out there. It was about three hours on the water. We caught three tiny fish. It was just rough. I talked to some supporters of the channel right when we pulled out of the water. And they said the waters usually never liked that. And it flooded the night before. And it was just, it was brutal. It was a tough day out there. We didn't stay out long, but we didn't really think it was worth it to go catch a bunch of, you know, 12 inches. So I actually stumbled upon some footage around 15 months ago. So a little over a year, it included me, Alan Bob and Lojo. We were out on Douglas Lake and we caught a bunch of big fish. The lake was drained. You know, the biggings were chomping. It was a tough day out there, but we ended up catching some really big fish. I'm going to add that footage to this. I hope you guys enjoyed the rest of the video. If you guys haven't already, please hit that like button. If you guys are new to the channel, hit the subscribe button. But let's go ahead and hop into that footage. Heck, I want you to catch one. I know, yeah. Oh, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big. Big dude. Please get that net. Oh, it's all right, all right. Dude, I mean, this might be my pee bee. We're like, I'm talking big, dude. Like, please keep them down, man. Keep them down. How much don't throw them in the net? All right. You got a giant, Alan. Alan, bro. Hey, get the- Oh, that's a good fish. Dude, that's a good fish. Oh my God. Oh! There he is. Net. Big. Big. He's starting to jerk a bit, too. You don't really have any wind, but I don't know how these fish- I got to look at the graph. See how these fish are staging up, man. See if they in that 10 foot, 10 foot range. Well, guys, we just stopped at our first little spot. Really not far. I mean, we just, right by the ramp. I was going to go back in this little creek and I saw this little main lake bluff wall right here. A ton of rock right here. Good little point and it's a little divot right here. So it's small. It's not like, I wouldn't call it a pocket. I guess we can call it like a small pocket off the main lake. There's a good chance a bigging is sitting off that point. So, ready to smunch a jerk bait. It just makes too much sense. I'm going to give this a try. I got to see how these fish are staging up on the graph. We both started off with jerk baits. That's kind of what was working the other day for us. But then again, conditions are totally flopped. Straight blue bird skies, zero wind. We got a little wind, but I don't know. I guess we'll see. Oh yeah, it looks like these fish are on the bottom today. I can already tell you that. Look at the little baby ball of bait. Got a lot of fish on the bottom. Oh, no, no. We got two at the top right there by the troll motor. Long skip with the seven, six rod. Woo! You see that? That was the only little slot, too. He ain't in the back of it. Let's lift up eight pounder. Well, boys, we got a sunken houseboat right here. And I'm sunken, but half the boat's in the water. And I saw this before we were driving to our next spot. And I was like, man, we have to casted this because we catch fish on this. This would just be sweet for the vid. Think I'm going to skip in the living room of the houseboat, wiggle it by the fridge over there and be like, you know what? This jig looks better than any other food you've got. Skip it right up in the houseboat. Just like that. No, you're so stupid. I don't know, I saw this. I was like, not that I even think it was a fish, I'm just, maybe it'd be cool for the vid, man. Let's go. We're gonna go back in one of these creeks. We'll hit this thing later. I saw it feeling there up shallow. Down these secondary, so at least get one more into the pockets. There he is, net, big. Big, big, big, big. I mean, big. Oh, oh, he's right here. I got him in the top of the head. That's why he felt big. I thought I leaned into him, bro. And I was like, big, big. Well, we got the monkey offer back now. Baby, I hooked him in the top of the head. I thought he was huge. I was just pulling him, I felt his head. I was like, oof. Heck, that was the monkey offer back. I mean, that's time to catch him. Came back here in this shallow pocket. Just got some deep water by it. And chucking the trap, I was yo-yoing it. And I snagged him in the top of the head. I don't know if he swatted at it. I'm sure he did. He's a little fat guy. I thought he was so big, bro. You know when you hook one weird and he just has weight on him? But the way I hooked him, he could still shake his head. So I was kind of toting him through the water, but he's still shaking his head. I thought I had probably like a five or six pounds. Yeah, I was like, oh man, that's a big one. Get the net. Got him. Big. This is actually a big one. Oh yeah, he's big. Oh yeah, he's big. That's like a four pounder, four and a half pounder. All right, boys. That's what we came here for today. You know, I hooked that second one. I think we're figuring something out now on this trap. Had that first one a second ago. What, like what, five minutes ago? Mm-hmm. And you know, on the trap, that's on the trap, man. That's what we're coming here for. Look at this Tommy on the middle. That was a big one right there, boys. What a beautiful fish. Solid, like four pounder. Oh man, we're gonna keep on continuing doing this. I think we're figuring something out now. So, oh, it should be good. Let's go have him, Bob. Let's go. Making sense now. You can tell they're eating finicky. You barely had it. When he came up, I barely saw he had it. I was like, please do not spit it. Dude, that was crazy, man. That scared me. He was going so fast. Yeah, I saw that. I was like, what the heck is going on with that? I got him. Hold. Oh no. I didn't even look, dude. I just was looking over here. Did you actually have one? No. Dude, we are looking like freaking idiots right now. YouTube, I like for the stick pounder, I just whacked. I had my eyes over here, I was like looking and I was like just ripping it. And I was like, oh God, I didn't even look. Good little halftime bird, guys. We're about to go pick up Lojo right now. It's been tough. We caught two. One of them being a really quality fish, but nothing's kind of falling together to really make sense. The water is a lot warmer back in these little creeks and little pockets. Kind of looking for those laydowns that are in the water on those little transition banks from rock to clay and the sand on those little transitions that are coming back here in these little pockets and some of these little feeder creeks. And we haven't had any more bites. You know, we had those two in that one and I was talking to him that that was more towards the main lake. We're way back in a creek right now. And that one specific little pocket was towards the mouth of the main lake. And I'm thinking that's what made the big difference because it wasn't just like we caught one fish and there's two in there and I know there's a lot more. So that's kind of what we're gonna go look for now. We're just experimenting back here. Really trying to kill time before Lojo gets out here because I have somewhere I really wanna go to. I kinda wanna make a long run because sometimes on days like today, a certain part of the lake will fish a lot better than another. So maybe it's just this part. I talked to another guy that fish yesterday and he said everything's just random. Just kind of like, what happened to us? And he said all the fish he's catching are like one pounders. Well, I mean, that's pretty quality when we caught, I know there's more in here. And all the people we see out here aren't catching anything. It's just, it's a tough day, man. It's the worst conditions after a cold front, bluebird skies, zero to no wind. And it's just, you know, it's tough. I swear to this, Jay, I can't cast it accurately. Man, one just came up to the trolling board. Hey, let me look. Yeah, you're here. You got him? Oh, is he big? Hey, don't run. Don't hook him. Oh my God, dude. You got a giant, Allen. Allen? Bro, hey, get there. Oh, that's a good fish. Dude, that's a good fish. Oh my God. Whoa! Yes! Oh my God, let's go! That's a solid five pounder. Caught him in that net, dude. Oh my God. Backflip out of there. Oh my, oh, dude, that's bigger than that, man. That's a fat fish. That's a six pounder. That's pushing. That's pushing up there. That's a six pounder. Heck yeah. Holy cow, Allen just caught a toad, bro. Solid six. Lojo. He's going off the bench, just score him points, baby. Look at the gut on that sucker, man. That's a big fish, man. Oh, God. That's a toad, man. Show Lojo that thing. Good job, bro. I'm proud of you. Allen's been having the monkey on his back this whole trip and then catches a freaking donk. We needed that so bad. We needed it so bad. I love that so bad. We were just talking about how terrible it's been. So what was it on, Allen? The trap. Oh yeah, one knocker. Red, man. Bro, that's what the other two, the same fish came on today. I don't know if this tree or just like along the bank there. On the bank, bro. He was right there, yeah. Eat hammer, man. I just felt that weight, and then. Bro, that is good job, man. I'm proud. Thank you, gosh. Thank you for showing me his belly one more time. I can tell by what you mean in the hand. Thank you, bro. We got two toloods. All right, Lojo. It's your turn now, man. I know, man. I'm like pumped up now, man. I was rigged. Geez. It was crazy, Allen. Fish can just make your day. Just turn around and just cast. Awesome, man. You can cast over me. There he is. Yeah? Got him? Yeah. Big, dude. Big. I don't think I got him. Yeah, I got something, dude. What is it? You got a foul hook. Is that wild? Yeah, look at it. Yeah. Foul, then. What's happened twice today, boys? There's like swiping at it. That's crazy. I mean, we need to get the red trap on, kids. That's obvious. And I have a red trap. I'm a little fatties, man, but I don't know. The two small ones we caught today, the big ones, they ate it, but the small ones just swatting at it. Yep, look at them. They're right away. He's tying it all. I'll tell you that's what's happening, small guy on the trap. What's happening now? They're at least survived. I don't know if you just swatted at it. I don't really know, but red trap again. All right, Lodges, your turn. That looks easy over here, what the? I don't know if they're swatting at it. None of them have evaded good today. What the? What? Oh. Dude, they bumped me so hard, I hit my gopher with my rod. It's like they're not eating it. Heck, I want you to catch one. I know, yeah. Oh, that was good. Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, dude. Please get that net. He is big. Please get that net. Oh, it's all right. Dude, I mean, this might be my pee-pee. We're like, I'm talking big, dude. Like, please keep him down, man. Keep him down. Come on, man. Keep him down. How much don't throw him in the net, all right? Just be sure, be careful. Oh, it's a carp. No! Oh, I swear I had the biggest fish in my life. Did you just see the drag? Oh, my God. You frickin' fell out the car. Oh, my God. Dude, when I went like this, I felt his tail go like this, but I thought it was a bass's head, and I'm like, big, dude. Dude, oh my God. I'm like, this is a monster. 25 pound, 30 pound carp. Got a big carp, man. Big carp. Will you pop it like the same way you had it? Yeah, dude. I just like felt him. It felt like he hit it, man. I just went to the side and I felt his tail go, well, I thought it was his head, but I thought. I saw you turn, and your arm's shaking. I was like, oh my God. I was like, this is. That was crazy. Yeah, dude, that scared me, man. That really scared me. And then when it would come up and rip and drag, of course it was foul hook, so it was pulling even harder. Bro, it scared me, man. I didn't know what to, my forearm's on fire right now. I should have known better that that wasn't a bass, dude, because if it was, he was 10 plus. I mean, no doubt. Well, boys, I just pulled off in this little kite. I'm letting them just right there, trying to catch a big one. I, man, it's been so slow. I don't get it. And then when you run into a fish, he's big, so it's just, nothing makes sense really. Another back in these cuts is just really finicky, and we're fishing really fast, you know, covering a lot of water. That's really what we're trying to do. Cause I mean, we don't have too much time, so we're just beating around, doing that whole deal. Trap still went in the whole event, the whole deal, got four fish on it. And then a big goldfish, a big, big carp, but the other Joe is hoping he's about to catch a big one. That's what I'm hoping. He is just getting screwed left and right. We're all getting screwed left and right, but I'm about to pick up my rod and finish off strong right here, back in this cut. Dude, I cannot cast her, and I can't see. That tree in the back, dude. I got him. I don't know what I got. Yeah, I do got a fish. Look at that little guy. I do got a fish, man. Look at that little guy. Stroking it. That was the best one I ate it all day, and yeah, he actually thumped it. Hello, Joe. All right, you're gonna catch one back there. Fish number five. Well, we have a limit today. I think he squeaks, he squeaks it.
