 There we go, I got him, oh yeah. I got him in the tree, I got her, I got her, I got her. Oh my gosh. All right boys and girls, the springtime fishing has been popping and we're at a pond today that I am praying that these fish are on bed because if they are, we're gonna have an absolute tear at this pond. We're gonna be hitting a lot of different places today traveling around searching for these giants and we're gonna go ahead and hop into it guys. So the last time that we came out to this pond we actually filmed a live bait video. By the way, if you guys wanna go check that out you should. It was an insane video, we caught some massive ones and that bird just scared the heck out of me. Holy cow, I didn't know what I was about to see man. I thought that was gonna be a big bass jumping out of the water, what in the world? Before we get deeper into this video only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed, so if you could take the time hit the subscribe button, really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. I'm ready to see a dang eight to 10 pounder now. Last time we went out fishing we caught a five and a six and a half. And I think we have an opportunity today to hook one of those eight to 10 pounders now. Dude, I literally stopped my GoPro guys and I had one eat me, dude. I literally stopped the GoPro, as I stopped it I felt him go dum-dum. Bro, that is unreal man. Maybe that fish will bite here in a little bit. There is a ridiculous boil on the other side of this bridge and we have to go over here and throw at it. I'm talking a monster boil. Gosh, that was insane. We're gonna throw a couple up here. All right, we're gonna walk back over where we miss that fish. By the way, I didn't even talk about it. I got a mock crawl on the Texas rig. This is my favorite thing to throw in the springtime. It's a simple Texas rig with a crawl on it. If you guys wanna check out the new mock crawl you can check it out on Tackle Warehouse. There's a link to be in my description box down below. Got it paired up on my Kicking the Bass TV Xluse combo. If you guys wanna check them out, KickingtheBass.com, they'll be linked down below. The springtime's here guys. The fishing's only gonna get better. So you guys should go get yourself a combo and get out and catch some big fish. But we're gonna go down this bank first. I think the pocket in this back corner is probably gonna be best. But this pocket back here could be ridiculous as well. Oh, big boil right there. Might as speak that fish off. Dude, there's another boil. Maybe he's all the way up on that bed. Okay, hold on. This fish might be really territorial. Yeah, another boil, look at that. I can't even see the fish. He got it. Oh, here we go. Fish 100% on bed. Look at him, took one of my pinchers. This fish be biting so weird, man. See if we'll eat it again. Come on, baby. Be aggressive for me. There she is. She took my craw all the way. No. Hopefully that does not stop this fish from biting me. It's two bites from that one fish. Well, we got one that seems aggressive. Right here, baby, come on. Dude, look at that big boil right there. This is it. That's a carp. Oh my gosh, man. I thought that was a giant bass. Oh gosh, there's a huge grass carp right there. That spooked me, I'm not gonna lie. Dude, I got him in the tree. He's stuck, he's stuck. Oh, come on. Oh my, dude, I don't know what to do here. He's still on. And I got him stuck inside that tree, guys. I don't know what to do here. And it seems like a pretty nice one. And that tree's just not moving. We're gonna have to figure out how to walk all the way around here. Oh my God. Yeah, she's still hooked. I think she's hooked pretty good. I mean, I don't even, how do I, maybe I go around this way. Hold on, I can't even believe this, man. Maybe if I go around this side, I can get her to come off that tree. I got her, I got her, I got her. Let's go, dude. Oh my gosh, we're skating her in, dude. Straight up skating her in. Let's go, dude. Not a biggie, man, but that is sick. Holy cow. What a way to catch our first fish of the day. So I was over this tree on the other side of the bank and all I felt was pressure. And I'm like, I think this is a fish, but I'm not sure. All of a sudden I felt her pull back, dude. So I hooked and she just got stuck in that tree. Pretty little male bass, not a big one. But that is the start to today's video. And that was a hectic catch right there, man. Thank you so much, baby. I'm glad I could get her out of that tree. There she goes. Oh my goodness, man. What a catch to start off the video. I was waiting this whole time, guys. I'm like, I can't believe I haven't caught a fish in this pocket. I was like, you know what? We're going to make a couple more casts across the bank. And sure enough, we get that puppy to bite. Good thing I went on the other side of the tree and walked this way instead of trying to go in that mess because I got one, I got a big one. I can't tell if she's big or not. I'm lying. I'm a liar, guys. Not a big one. That is the smallest fish. What in the world? Okay, that's embarrassing. That is embarrassing. Not a big one. He's a little squirty, but that bank might be loaded, boys. There's two casts over there and we got two bites. Beautiful fish though. Look at that little green marking on them. Super pretty, fat and healthy. All right, we are on the run, guys. We are getting some bites. All it took was a hectic fish catch to get the blood pumping, to get us moving, and to get these fish biting. And this is just the start, boys. It's about to get crazy. There's something special about that bank over there. I feel like we're about to get another one. They are up there. They're not big, but they're up there. And that second fish, guys, felt big as heck. I don't know if I'm stuck in a tree. I like hook set and I straight couldn't move them. If you're else small that fish is, I don't even know how I could think of that was a good one. He felt like it. Let me tell you, God, Lee, we about to get sniped again. If you guys saw one of the recent videos, I pulled my dang crow out of a tree and I about got bopped now. Oh my gosh. Little too close for comfort, boys. All right, I'm kind of done fishing this pocket. We're gonna walk up here and a few of those bites that we've got, we're gonna fish and then we're just gonna get onto the other side because that's where those big ones are gonna be right now. All right, this is the area of the pond where I think it's gonna turn out. Get ready for a fish, boys. Yep. Yee! Smoked that thing and started running, spit it out. Yeah, there's gonna be a good bit of fish in this corner. It's prime. All I did was hit that thing one hard time. If I got a fish for this fish for a second, I will. They're not being ultra aggressive today as far as like if they see the bait on their bed, they're just eating it right away. There's no reason for that fish to hit it the way he just did and not hit it again. Get up here, boy. Another buck bass. We have not found those females yet, but at least we're catching some. Get a little high one pounder there. Right on the edge of that grass. It's a good thing I flipped right there because if I would have caught that other fish, this one probably wouldn't have bit. Beautiful colors on that fish. It's really healthy too, super fat. Thank you, buddy. Oh my, that was just, that was rude, man. That was rude. Well, there's fish number three, man. He was not happy. He gave me the perfect little tail swipe. Could be another one up on this grass. I'm hoping we find some of these big females guys. I'm hoping they didn't pull off. Everything that I'm witnessing now seems like a bunch of male bass biting, but hey, let me tell you, it can change. See this little grass patch on the left here? There should be fish bedding there. It's a prime spot. Yeah, he's got it. That's a better one. Come on, that one's above two pounds. There we go. Oh, about two. Oh, another buck bass, man. Another buck bass. It could be how this pond's setting up two guys, but I'm not gonna make any bold statements without hitting this back pocket, but that's a pretty high one pounder right there. Another male bass though. There she goes. She was excited. We got an Okeechobee crawl right here. Got red and black on top, green pumpkin on the bottom. This is a fire color. Now we're gonna fish this whole grass edge out and then we'll go back to that pocket. It's a little windy back there. That's the only thing. There's a lot of fish in this corner. Just hoping we see a female here. Another male bass, man. She was right on bed around that corner. These big ones aren't pushed up right here in this pond. Mm-mm-mm. The most basic setups too. I mean, you look anywhere in between this grass, started to figure out how these fish want it. You just throw it up there. You don't do much. You just let it sit. You can wiggle it a little bit, but those fish are grabbing it and they're just walking it off the bed. That's all they're doing. Hence the why that fish didn't really get hooked. I mean, sometimes they don't have it all the way. They kind of just have the back of it. This spot's loaded. It's just, I don't know where the females are. That does not mean that the other ponds, females are not pushed up. All these ponds fish different. And that's one thing you always gotta keep in mind. You know, we can be at a pond today and they're on bed, you go to another pond, they're not even on bed yet. Or maybe the females are pushed up on another pond. You know, there's so many factors that play in and a lot of these ponds are just fish different than each other. All right, boys and girls, we're at the new spot now. That first pond, I was excited to fish, but it was just all male bass biting. I mean, the only fish that were pushed up were males, so we're gonna try it out in this pond and see what we can get into. Hopefully we'll find some big females. We're just gonna keep on hitting a bunch of different spots because I feel like the more places we end up hitting, we're gonna find a pond where some big females are pushed up. No, seems like a pretty good one right there. I got him, I got him. That was a sick eat, dude. Not a big one, but that was crazy. He was so aggressive. Let's go. That's the biggest one today. That's 100% of the two pounder. Still a male bass, but that was such a sick eat, man. Beautiful fish there, super healthy and fat. And there's another one right there. There's another one, that wasn't even the one. Oh my gosh, we're gonna put him back. That fish that swirled off the bank is literally sitting there and I can see him. Here we go, here's our first sight fish of the day, guys, right here, it's about to happen. Dude, she's literally just sitting there. Get ready, guys, we're about to catch this fish right here. This is what we live for in the springtime. Oh my gosh. Dude, I tried a through pasture and I tried to put it right up in front of her. I think I see another fish on bed deep, too. This is a perfect little corner, guys, with these cypress trees. Picture perfect for some fish to be bedding on. I just can't believe that fish that we caught wasn't even the one that we spooked. What was that? Oh, she's pulling back up now. She's super skittish, though. That one actually looks bigger than the first one I caught. Yeah, she's pulling back up. She locked. She was being a little squirmy. She keeps pulling back up and I throw in there and she pulls her eye back off. I was hoping she was just gonna eat right away. I need to put a new curl on. This one's a little messed up. That's sick. That's why you keep on moving ponds, guys. You know that first one we were catching some males up on the bank. And this one, I mean, both these fish seem like males, but we can actually sight fish them. It's why it's good to just always move around and always be proactive. It doesn't matter the time of year, but especially right now in the springtime, if a pond's just not having it, just move spots, man. You never know what you're gonna find. Yeah, she's right there, man. Oh, that's, dude, that fish looks pretty good, man. Yeah, she's bigger than that other one. Like, look how, she's so spooky, man, and she just keeps pulling up. You would think that fish would get aggressive, but maybe she's just not because of that other fish. And to be honest with you, that could be a female. The one I just caught could be the male. I think me catching that herb fish definitely made this fish just get super spooky. Broke me off. Gosh. That's why we got a retie right there. Gosh. I can't believe that. It's a new fishing line, too. I put on yesterday, I just not having a retie today, man, and when you're getting these fish to eat it the way that we are, I mean, you got a retie. You have to retie. And I'll tell you, we were just fishing down this bank and these rocks possibly freight our line there. Dang it, dude. I hate it worse, because I hope that, hopefully that hook didn't get stuck in her mouth. Man, it broke me so clean. She finally ate, dude. Finally, it's happened to be at the wrong time. Well, I mean, there's a possibility we can still catch her. She's still there, dude. She's literally still there. If I catch her, I can get the hook out of her mouth. Who knows, it might not even be in there. Dude, she's just sitting there, dude. We can go back in there and try to catch her. I mean, it could have been a different fish that bit us. She's so close to the bank. She's like out of the water. She's just sitting there. She's still interested in the bait. I don't see a hook in her mouth, by the way, guys. Unless she just got it so deep, I mean, I like to catch this fish. And if she does have a hook, just get it out, you know. I'm gonna fish a little bit longer. Okay, we're gonna have to come back for her. I don't think she has my hook though, but that's a good thing. Unless it was just a different fish that broke me off, because that fish felt heavy. That one's definitely our biggest today, but when I hooked it, it felt so heavy. The fish is still up there, dude. There's two. There's two, and there's one coming up to me. Oh, there's three. Yeah, there's a lot of fish right here. We've only caught one. We broke one off. Oh, he's looking at it. He's actually looking at it. Oh, he's about to eat it. Come on. He doesn't like it. Oh, we're catching this fish. Here she goes. She ate it. Got her. Oh yeah, that's a good one. Oh, it's a beautiful fish, too. Like a three pounder. Oh yeah. Yeah, it's a nice one. Thank you, man. I appreciate that. He's got a couple. They're not too many, but I have a good one. There we go, boys. This is the one that's been way up on the bank there. So I broke off one of the other fish. I actually saw three of them there. So if I had to guess, there's probably four fish that are bedding up on this bank. She got a good man. She wasn't coming off. That's a good close to, it's a high two pounder, close to three. Definitely our biggest today. We finally got her to eat, man. Let's go. Beautiful fish, man. Thank you for biting, baby. I was working on you for a minute. That is so much fun. Thank you. Let me go back. There she goes. I still want to catch that fish that broke off. Who knows, that could have been the one. I should have looked for hook marks. I wasn't even going to hit this pond, guys. Happened to have a random thaw, and I was like, you know what? We're going to hit it. And that dude pulling up in the car. He was surprised, man. He was like, oh my gosh. All right, guys, yeah, we're going to move. We're going to leave this fish alone. Let them continue to do their thing. But that was sick. Two really good fish, two good bites. More importantly, we actually sight-fishing. All right, well, this is a pond you guys probably haven't seen on the videos in probably five years. I mean, it's been a very long time. I came out and hit this place about a year ago, and I don't know what was happening. But I wasn't getting any bites. Almost like the fish died off or something, but I decided to come out today and see if anything's changed. This spot used to be really good, too, man. Had some monsters in it. I don't know what happened. Let's have a hard time believing that this place is totally dead. Like there's nothing in here. So we're going to give it about 10 minutes. If we don't have any bites, we'll keep moving. I got a lot of spots in mind today. Oh my gosh. I really didn't think there was fish in here, guys, but I just got bopped. I was starting to give up on this place. I'm like, man, they must have really all died off. That was a good bite. That was a prime spot back in the day, right here. Such an awkward position right there. I think that was a bite, but I wasn't gonna take any chances. Monster, dude. Monster. Let's go, dude. They're in here. It is a tank. Oh my gosh. Come on, baby. Stay pinned. Stay pinned for me. It is an absolute freak. Let's go. I haven't caught a big one all day. We come out here and that is just the best sign I could ever see, man. Good four pounder. I had her good too, man. We might be on something, boys. That might be a high three. I don't even know if she quite hits it. That's a freaking good fish, man. Let's go, baby. Thank you for biting, buddy. I really thought all the fish died off in here. We just got two bites in this pocket. That's a great sign. Oh my goodness. We might be on something here, guys. Let's keep on casting in this corner. You might've just found something special. Dude, when I hook said that fish, guys, I couldn't even move her. Straight up just hooks it, couldn't move a lick. Let's go, boys. That's why you never give up and you keep on punching away. After a couple casts in this pond, I was gonna leave, happened to get a bite through back over under that tree and just caught our biggest fish of the day. And our size is getting better, guys. We're searching for these monsters today. And it's coming together. We're upgrading every pond that we go to. We're getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And this corner might be something special. I mean, that's two bites. I'm just more importantly, I'm glad that there's a fish in here, man. Like, I really thought this pond was done. I can't even believe I came out to it today, but I'm like, you know what? It's been a year and we're gonna at least try it. Sure enough, there's still fish in here and there's probably a fish right where I just casted. That looks so good. I'm pretty sure I see a big fish right there. Dude, that's gotta be a big bass. It looks like a big bass. I don't know why she didn't wanna eat this effect that I could see her in this dirty water. Pretty crazy. She was way up in that pocket. Oh, ice got hit. That was right where I just caught that other fish, man. Oh, there you go. Here we go. Another fish, guys. Not a big one, but a small little male bass. Pretty markings on it, but not the size we're looking for. But I appreciate the bite, buddy. I appreciate it. There we go. That's our second fish in here, third bite. She was right up on that little crevice where that grass is. Wubbing was happening in this pond. I didn't expect anything. Let's go and try it and we're putting together a decent little deal here in this pocket. We fished that whole lane to that corner, but we didn't fish this side. So once we fished this corner out, it might not be a bad idea to run over there. This pond's fishing a little different than what we were doing earlier. You know, we were in some pretty clear water bed fishing. Now we're in some chocolate milk, possibly bed fishing. I can't tell you if they're on better or not. And there was a big boil over there where I casted. I need to get a little further. It's still like, you know, this corner with all these trees is muddy, but then you get this whole grass edge. It's like if you get the right cast, you can get bop. Right there. That's right where he swirled. Oh, no, dude. No, no, no, no, no, that felt like a freaking monster. So there's some concrete right here, guys. And I was popping over the concrete and all of a sudden he just destroyed it. Just happened to not have him all the way. Gosh. All right, we need to hunker in right here. That one actually felt like a big fish. I was not expecting that. I was expecting to walk all the way over here and start throwing on that grass and get bites. I didn't expect to get slammed right up in this. There we go. Right on that concrete. I don't think that's the one that bit me the first time. They might be loaded here. Holy cow, what are we fine, guys? There's three fish in this pond now. That is the tiniest one. We are onto something here. Just got to bite a couple casts before we're moving. Keep on throwing. There's like big concrete blocks in the water here and I'm feeling them hopping in a crawl right over them. I started to feel them about 15 foot back there. Maybe this whole stretch might be pretty good. Just walk back a little bit and cover some of this water. There's two bites on that concrete. Another small one, I think it's tiny. Smallest fish of the day. They're on this concrete right here. I'm just so happy that these fish seem healthy. It's a breath of fresh air right there, man. I am mind blown at the amount of fish right here. Pretty crazy, man. I literally walked over here two fish this corner and I just can't stop fishing this concrete here. I mean, there's loaded. It's like it's a matter of time before it ain't five pounder hops on us. There we go. They were just stacked up. Do not think this pond was gonna be the one that was stacked with them today. Straight up loaded. Dude, I mean, they're just stacked. That one's a little better. Not a big one. That one's a little better. I mean, that one had it before it even, before I started hopping it. Pretty one. Made a pounder. So pretty much to show you guys how I'm working this. You know, all those concrete blocks there, you also have a grass edge. And all I'm doing is I'm taking this Texas rig, throwing it out there, let it hit the bottom. And I'm just slightly popping it just like this. So all I'm doing is making contact with that concrete and popping it right off. So we let that bait sit too long and get in those crevices. You know, we'll end up getting hung up and breaking off. So all I'm doing is slightly moving it. I'm not working it slow at all. And these fish are just reacting to it. You know, they see this thing come by their face with those little legs flapping on the crawl and they're just straight up eating it. What is that? Looks like a snail. That's where I was hoping to get a bite. Let's see if there's one under here. Looks so good. Yeah, really? That is, that sucks, man. Come on. Say goodbye to this pond, guys. I was wanting to make some more casts, but we did some work here. Caught one really good one. Caught a bunch of other small fish. But I say that's a success. Let's keep on moving. Alrighty, at another spot. Let's see what we can get after in here, man. Let's see if we can find us some big old girthy girls. The whole moral of the story today is this big fish from a couple of days ago seem to be pulled off now. It seems to be a lot of male bass. I mean, almost every single spot has been pretty much males. We've been catching, we've caught a few females like that last spot. I mean, we caught that good one that was close to four pounds, but one, I don't even think she was on bed. And two, it wasn't like an absolute freak of a female that we're looking at. There's a boil right there. So shady in this corner. So shady, I can't see nothing. Dude, okay, that was a big in on bed. Hold on. Dang. Wish the sun was out right here. Probably would have been able to see that fish. See how easy she got spooked too? Dude, oh my gosh, there's so many boils. Dude, they're actually on that grass. It means we need to throw down this bank really good here. We can let this fish pull back up here in a second. I might be able to catch them. Oh my gosh. Holy cow. How about send him to another universe? Poor guy. This is a future lunker. Look at this bad boy, man. Oh my gosh. It felt like I just pulled up my craw. I didn't even feel like there was a fish on there. Well, that's officially the smallest fish in a long time. Probably my smallest fish all year. What was that, man? They'll send him to the moon. So you know that last pond we were fishing had some concrete. This one actually does two coming up here. Might be able to do the same deal we were doing in that pond and get a bit pretty good. There's just so much nasty slop up on the bank. It's hard for me to fish any of it. That feels like a nice one. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's our biggest one today, guys. Come on. Come on. Oh yeah. Gosh. Second biggest. She ain't as big as that other one. That thing smoked it. Dude, I threw that crawl right in there. And she ate it right off those rocks instantly. Beautiful fish, man. I might get lucky with some more bites here. Thank you, buddy. Holy cow, that was sick.
