Yeah, there is big down here in Florida So it might be might be really good. So TJ. Why don't you do the honor? You pick out whatever you want for me to use the same for you to keep Just so you know, but so I feel like I have an advantage here because I'm from Florida I'm not I live in Florida. So I know what works in Florida. I'm gonna hook you up with a good stuff You're gonna get a good or you're gonna mess with me or you think Fletcher gonna mess with me. So you're gonna hook me up good I'll probably mess with you. Oh Yes, sir. It's how you catch big ones in Florida right here. You know what we should do we should dump this box on the ground You're crazy. That's what we do it. We should kind of dump it over your head. Yeah You know what's gonna be funny is when there's a random lure in here out of the package Possibly get a hook in your head like that. I'm gonna have to take it out. You sure make it rain. Make it rain, baby We love rain in Florida. We love rain in Yo, look at this one. That is a sauce color. That is a see I told you all we had to do was dump it out Blizzard flash. Look at that right there. Gizzard flash Swims together that thing's looking good. I was thinking about a white Killer We've been smoking them on it recently. Yeah, you guys already know the cloud 5.4 and this is in dark water bug You guys already know on the river the bank fishing videos. This boy catches them real good either was one out of the package Look at that. Yeah, I think that didn't hit me in the ears 12 likes on this video and off here smoker with that So I got these two right here in my hands are a dark water bug the clouds. These are absurd These are really good. These color right here in the the divans and I just saw two more. I just saw two more And you could do that. Oh, you just picked up Yeah, technically because you're gonna need those. Yeah, you're gonna need those we got some toxins Right there for the cloud hair that up with that and then that that color. Oh Look at that. I dig that. That's actually the quake 82. This is the big. Yeah, let me ask you this I'm gonna ask you straight up. You got these swim baits and they got like, you know gray and blue Yep, this is kind of like a goal. What do you think about those other ones that you picked up? See them that matches even better not alert. So the thing with Florida, right? This matches perfectly That's literally the perfect the perfect match. All right, so we got the swim jig right here We had the swim baits. We got the clouds. We got the tungsten. Then we got the quake right here I'm about to go meet up with Norm. We're gonna catch some big fish. DJ. What you doing, dude? Whoa Are you trying to steal? Oh, no, I was you trying to steal what's going on, bro I was not ain't cool. He's trying to steal from you. I was go unsubscribed I'm gonna expect TJ to pick up the rest of my lures not stealing but pick them up and then I'm gonna catch you There's norm. We're gonna catch some big bass. Stay tuned. Let's get Norm was been a minute people have been asking about you and it's finally time. We're gonna we're gonna run it today What do we do in norm? What is the game plan? We're here to spot we fish once before a while back and thankfully Quarantine's over so no one I can fish again. We can travel and I don't know this pond super grassy I'm liking it I got a popper tied on and a chatter bait to my favorite lures to throw in grassy pond slash lakes And we're just gonna try to catch some big ins today. I think that's the goal right now Yeah, or is that just big and big ins only that's all we got to do so norm You got like a little juicy popper action on a nice little spitting combo And then he's got the old chatter donk down here on a mock to gotta love it gotta love the green I think it's gonna be good today, man. I think we're gonna catch some big ones. Yeah Covering water. We already saw a bunch of fish kind of splashing out here So I'm excited. We're gonna go ahead and hop into if you guys are wondering what I have tied on I got this hyper jerk you guys have never seen this before on my channel. That's like let me tell you It's like a hard fluke. It's not like a regular jerk bait. It's really weird. It darts through all the water It looks juicy. I think we can catch one on that today, but with a primary one I really want to use is the swim jig, which is the divine Swim jig right there and then I also got a mag dog right there. So this is gonna be good We're gonna get started. I think I'm gonna start off with the swim jig. He's gonna start off with probably Well, let's go ahead and get at it catch a big fish All right guys, I got the hybrid jig Norm's GoPro is messing up He had like a little bluegill or a turtle pecking at his popper Six pounder first cast do the other day. I caught a seven first cast like actually, yeah One surprise me. So yeah guys, we're gonna be throwing around this hybrid jig. It was catch or not hybrid Yeah, I keep saying that it's a swim jig the divine swim jig I don't know why I keep saying hybrid jig But it was really good to us last week and we're gonna try it out today There's a bunch of grass in this pond and I think it's gonna go perfectly That's the good thing about a swim jig is you can really run it through the grass So that's kind of the main goal. We have norm with the top water And I think he'll have some on that as well. So we're gonna cover some water We're gonna make a lot of casts figure out what these fish want today if we have to switch up we will But I think it's gonna be good. I think he's gonna catch some on the top water And I think we're gonna catch a few good ones on a swim jig You see that bed? Oh My god, I think I was a tilapia Yes, it's a tilapia. There's another one on bed up there. Yeah Old tilapias gotta miss those. There's one on bed right there tilapia There's a bunch of tilapia. I think that's what was roaming It's like a bunch of tilapia on bed Yeah, I don't know. It was actually a full moon last night. I'm pretty sure of course Something big just swam off that might have been tilapia. I think there's still be bass pushing up. Oh Dude Yeah, I got hammered right there on the edge He's like a pound and a half You saw me you like hit it and then he saw a man backed off Well, oh, yeah, they're going neck dude. That was a fish right there. They're going I it's like they're Yeah, I just flip the edge of that dude. I just started kind of popping it up. See they're on the edge of the grass That's a Weird way to fish it Oh right there. Oh, no, he ate it as I threw it in norm. I watched him eat it. He's just like kind of Rolled on it, uh Cast in there, right? That was great. Yeah, I threw in there. He just rolled on anybody. Never had it I think we're gonna kill him back here. I think that's where it's gonna happen. What though? That's some grass, dude That scared me. Yeah Oh Oh my gosh, look at the way she ate that thing Did I see that look at Yeah Norm show them what you were gonna use for pliers Oh, I'll show them this actually no, this is actually cool. I got this for Christmas And I never like I never want anything for Christmas, but my dad got me these It's just like a little I would never use them, but they actually work I've been because I always got my keys on me and I always forget my pliers that far though Oh, you see that Yeah, this was a little too big for these but That's a good. Yeah, if he was not postponed it would be four times. Yeah, sadly. He's a little short. Dang. I don't wear my crocs today Yeah, no, definitely just just postponed as of this week Dude, that's that's a tank has been caught before too you can tell that her jaw has been broke right here You see that because somebody isn't properly handing handling her but Yeah, it might even be like three and some change honestly, but you can ever tell with like the stomach Like it means so much if they're fat or skinny. How much they end up weighing when pulled up Yes, sir I'm about to post the story you guys to see this fish before the video is released. What a deal That is a deal and a half right there. That's it. That's that's some good. See that's business 101 I just got this on top of it. I mean check out that chunk right there first fish today Let's kick in their bass cvs. Let's go videos coming soon. All right, you ready? Yep ready for the release We got to get another one bigger Looks like a ton of grass right you might need to throw her. I hate to say that but I mean look how grassy it is guys It's got water underneath it. You might just need a tosser. I'm gonna give her a little toss. Don't be mad at me guys Boom all right fish bomb, baby. Let's go. All right first fish today. That's pretty good one for the popper Dude, stop water too. I mean I'll take that any day. I think if you do what you did I think you worked it a little slower, didn't you? I think so I don't know. I finally just made an actual good cast without getting grass all over because the grass out here It's crazy But if I can get this thing through like clean or they're gonna munch it for sure Oh, there he is There he is. That's a good one. Yeah Yeah norm It's a good one Not bad not bad not bad not as big as yours. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah It's a little fatter though. Yeah Oh, look at how she ate see that one ate it. That's exactly how you wanted to eat us But two and a half two two number I'll say two and a half maybe even a little bit. He's just two bigger He's barely hooked People would have spit that to it. I've been like dang it, but that's that's a pretty fish He's actually a lot chunkier than that one that you caught. Yeah, I don't think he's uh Well pretty fish first fish for me today So that's two fish overall. He's just lost one. I think we're gonna start eating I think we got a good combo going with swim jigging popper. Yeah, I think it's like a good It's just the perfect, you know two polar opposites. I think they're both going to catch them today Pretty fish a little too number should we toss them? Yeah, you might have to get more. Yeah guys, this is it's just so much grass. I don't like I don't know We're gonna give her a little Sinks right to the bottom. She's good. I'm already hot You really think it was a good one? Oh That was the hardest hook set Dude, he's big. Yes Dude, that's actually a good one dude. That's the size of yours at least I got her. Oh That's a good one. Oh my god Yo, it's pretty good That's how sick boy. There's she low here in the middle Yeah, I just was honestly messing around. I was laughing at you and then I just felt her load up Well guys, that is a solid almost three pound. See this fish isn't postponed. Well guys, that is a nice fish Third fish today not doing bad. I think we're gonna toss her too. I don't like releasing them in this grass Give her a little Okay, norm got blew up on this literally right before I hooked up that fish And for some reason norm wanted to shoot that fish to Pluto and Hook said his popper pretty hard, but Um, we're gonna get back in there. I will say guys that that fish right there That was a pre-spawn bass The rest that we've seen have been postponed and she ate it out in the middle So that's a good little that's a good little thing to know right there because I've been kind of like Not really working my bait good once I get it get it in the middle. Yeah, you should get hammered there But yeah, she ate it out in the middle. She loaded up on it good too Old divine swim jig All right, we're gonna double up right here. I feel it If you feel your cast I feel my cast Yep. Oh, he came off came off. God Did he? Oh Norm norm norm norm norm norm norm norm norm norm. He bit me twice and I about like freaked out there They're just eating so weird God is that thing just loaded up on it twice. He's never had it I can't even tell you if they're small or big because they're just eating weird today. I should catch one But we're gonna catch one in this corner. That's big. I feel it. I feel it coming Oh my god. Oh That bird almost flew into my line Yeah, I feel it up It looks good on it Yep Norm I'm a freak out dude Freak out dude Uh-oh, uh-oh Oh my oh my goodness norm norm norm norm norm norm. I need my norm help. Oh my god. I need my norm help Bro, this is my biggest fish this year. Maybe. Oh my god There is no way how big is that fish? Dude, how big Dude You're kidding. I'm not kidding. I left it out of my truck. It's fine Dang it. No, that's everybody six to seven. That's everybody six. That's bigger than six. Look how thick that's pre-spawn Yeah, that's like That's probably like six and a half seven guys. Look at that fish. That is that is a big in That's a hefty boy. Dude, that's every I don't how easy looks small on the camera He does look smaller on the camera. Why does it do that? I don't know. I don't know But that's a big I promise you that fish is over six. Yeah easy. That's crazy, dude And that's pre-spawn. Yeah, the other ones see that one the norm caused post spawn. That's a freaking hefty boy I'm not gonna lie When she jumped dude, I thought she was eight plus. I was like, are you serious? Dude, I thought she was two all the way until I grabbed her. I mean she's every Yeah, I mean guys, you guys are gonna six and a half seven They're gonna kill me because of this but I did leave my because last video I left my scale too I know I'm in a bad connection with my my supporters right now at the scale, but Needless to say that's a big bass and I think we can all agree on that We're gonna get a quick picture get her right back in the water. That's the ones that we want to catch today Thank god, she committed. All right guys, we're gonna get this beauty back in the water. That is a freaking big fish I think it's my third. It's might be my fourth biggest this year But I thought she was my biggest when she jumped her head was so big and I was like, oh Have I had a heart attack? All right, so we're gonna get this baby back in the water I don't know if I want to toss her or should I talk mate? Let's see what she does Let's put her down right here. That is a Bro, that is a norm. That's a behemoth, dude I think it could have been a little bit thicker. It could have even been like nine pounds That is actually thick, but if it was like that's actually a really big fish. Yeah That is a mammoth. I didn't realize how big she was I'm telling you I think that's seven easy. Oh my yeah, that's definitely a seven Holy cow norm's first video back has been a minute But yeah first video back with norm off to a good little start we've missed a lot of fish But let me tell you I will miss five fish if we can hook up on those every time Guys the thing is about time that I talk about kind of what I'm doing with this swim jig So pretty much in this pond there's a ton of grass and I can tell you there's a couple baits Moving baits in particular that I would recommend if you have a lot of grass in the ponds by you And right now you might not I mean if a lot of you guys live way up north there might not be Any grass that you know has sprouted up yet, but I can tell you it's gonna come up soon So this is important information my two favorite baits to throw through grass that are moving baits Is either a swim jig or a chatterdunk if you're fishing like isolated grass mats or like Isolated grass as a whole like little isolated grass flats. I can tell you a lipless crankbait is killer But in grass like this where we can fish the edge a chatterdunk and a swim jig I'm telling you is killer, especially this time of year when the fish are pushing up and getting ready to bed Where we're at right now And these fish are really tear up the swim jig The trick of it is to not get grass on it like I just did right there So and that's what I like about this divine jig too if you pop your rod, you know, you're gonna get through that stuff Um, that's a good thing about the swim jig the way it's shaped it goes through the grass so well If you guys want to check it out, I'll always, you know, have my link down below. There's a fish right there Ain't big Got a small one Small one talking to the camera if I can get him out of the grass Oh Wow, that fish is really small Okay, about a pound. Look at that. The grass is bigger than that fish and they barely got it today They're biting a little weird. That's another thing to think about in the springtime guys When you have these fish that are bedding if they're pre-spawn, you know that they're on their bed Whatever it is these fish are going to short strike a ton. Let me tell you you're going to notice that a lot in the springtime You know, you they'll either move your bait off their bed and do a bunch of weird stuff You guys saw in one of the recent episodes where that was happening to us a lot and uh Something to always think about you get a bite make sure you keep throwing in there because there's a possibility that he Would possibly bite it again Got him Oh, right when I hit the water guys. I mean just a little tiny one But still on top water. I mean Yeah, that's the smallest one of the day right there Little pounder. Well, there we go guys another top water fish. I mean that's just too much fun Even if they're like only a little pounder a little three-quarter pounder. I mean I will take it Oh Oh nose got one There she is There she is swing. Oh, she's on the bank. She's on the bank Oh Oh, she's good. That's about a two and a half pounder. Okay Little two number. We ain't gonna complain. They munched the swim jig guys. God, we they munched the swim jig By the way, if you know, I always talk about this in my videos if you guys You know end up using some of these baits like if you end up getting you some of the Divine swim jigs or clouds or whatever it is like tag me on instagram guys I love to see it and uh tag me on the story and I'll repost you But norm's hooked up with another fish Oh my gosh, dude That's the second cast in a row Oh, he's in that grass guys. This grass is so thick. It's hard to get him through the spinning call though Geez So they ate it head first No, I should be able to get it Guys Look at how this fish ate that thing head first. That is crazy. I wish all of them were eating it like that today There we go guys. I mean just a little pound and a half for but second cast in a row It's bank right here. I think it'll be good. Yeah, he swam under This bank right here guys. I mean it is money money. I'm having too much fun On top of that's the cool thing about the poppers. They can catch like it can catch big ends But also catch small ones and it's on top. So Kind of the best of all worlds right there But what I was doing before that fish rudely interrupted me last cast It's I've been throwing kind of parallel to these grass banks right here working my popper along the edge The tough thing about it though is that there's a ton of grass just randomly floating out here So I could get a really good cast in but as soon as a piece of grass gets on it ruins the whole cast All right guys, we came out to a new spot. I still have the hyper jig tied on but I had this hyper jerk And I kind of want to try it. I have yet to catch a fish on it. What's up? Some just swim out Norm look at this thing watch this thing Oh, that's gonna get munched bro Bro this thing is nasty. I'd never I never caught a fish on it, but It beans too on this rod. I'm gonna cast it pretty good It's like a jerk. It's like a hard jerk bait, but it's not It's like a hard fluke. It's not like a jerk bait though. I can't explain it. It doesn't have a bill Just kind of like oh, there's one right here. I don't know if that's a tilapia though That bird was gonna hit me in the head norm. There's a bass right there swimming you see him Or there's a bass just swimming. Oh, he's right there That was the coolest fish catch of the year That was that was x games mode bro. Oh my gosh That's definitely top one of the top. If you could see it on the gopher. Yeah, I hope they can I was talking about this fish guys It was just roaming the banks and sure enough he put that popper right in front of his mouth and you could just watch It's like in slow motion That is so freaking cool, man. That was crazy Bro, that was one of the coolest catches. I've seen that dude That was one of the coolest catch of the year for me like that you could like watch him just come up And I was almost throwing it in there as a joke because you threw that at it and you just like nah I was like, let me just throw my paw up on top of the set and he came up for it Dude, that's a good fish Oh, we should grab the scale dude. We were trucking How do you know what we're doing? All right, I'm gonna get an instagram pic real quick and get on instagram boys Oh my gosh. I mean that's a little three pounder or something probably we're gonna let this one go Probably about three pounder on the popper. I mean any fish on top water is just so much fun Oh, especially to catch them like that that's just like sight fishing top water top water is already cool Site fishing top water. That's just a whole new level. That's not something you get to do much We're just gonna kind of you ain't come I think let's give her a little toss Okay, okay What is that a seven six or seven whatever it was Like a few threes. Maybe maybe one of them was four that's pushing it. This is crazy, dude See yep, they're doing it. I was about to do I was just about to say this time of year They school out in the middle. This is where we're about to get dude. They're still schooling My camera is so heavy is pulling my pants down I'm about to say dude. This is the time of year that me alan bob and adam came here and it was on a popper It was every cast due to his three to four pound Dude on the freaking hyper jerk that was crazy. Yeah, that's my first fish ever on the hyper jerk It's a really good one three pounder Yeah cast double up. Oh Just fish is bigger than a thing Oh my god, I never thrown anything like you know what we forgot Appliers bro. No, I mean we left them at the other place. Oh We literally left the pliers at the other place First fish on the hyper jerk that was actually a lot of fun guys There's like a a jerk bait bite except totally different It was weird. I don't know how to explain it if you threw it you'd be like, what the heck I was like the weirdest thing because I've never thrown anything like that in my life So when I went to hook said it was a feeling I've never felt before I was like, huh I'm gonna get her right back in the water. See if we can catch another one out there Beautiful fish. They were schooling. I'm gonna drop her in this hole. That's what I'm gonna do Oh kind of missed the hole 400k in like a week bro, and she's verified and all that stuff dude. Did you see my Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk Wait, I actually thought I was tripping dude. I actually thought that wasn't a fish like I thought I was just on grass until you Dude, it's a good one Dude, the hyper jerk is an animal The hyper jerk is a freaking animal Oh my gosh There is multiple That's a joker if I know of one look at that guys. That's a chunky Freaking big head on them. It was like a three pounder's head and a two pounder's body. That was cool catch There there was a lot more behind it So that fish swam out
