 I'm going fishing with LFD today, hey hit the like button for just throwing back old school music on you fishing shows, why don't you name that show in the comments down below. I want to know, that's what I grew up with. We're making our own fishing shows nowadays y'all, it's pretty cool. And today's really awesome because I'm going to be fishing with the guy that got me started into fishing. His name is my dad, LFD. I told him I'd take him out today. It is his birthday, actually his birthday was yesterday, we celebrated, but we're going fishing today. We're going to have a good time, just father and son. Just going to strap a little GoPro on, just have some fun. Father and son on the rhymes this morning, see if we can get on the bass though. LFD, yes, how's it feel to be 60 years into the world, I'm glad to be here, 60 years of wisdom, 60 years of fishing knowledge, fishing knowledge and fishing mistakes that have led me to where I am today. Well, I'm feeling like that bird right there is where we need to start. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Just let the birds guide you. That's some of that knowledge. So I'm going to start on this side and work towards that bird, where that bird is where it drops off. The last three times I've been here, I've caught fish every time right there. Early morning, get your spinner bay out and get it over. That bird right there is just standing on a boulder that sticks out. Oh, we got one, yeah. Early bird gets the grub. I'm going to roll back around this cove here in a second. I think the key is, you've got to get it right on up there, about getting it stuck. I'm going to basically hear it coming off the bank. They're not wanting to tickle the tops today. Oh, watch out. That was a big bass. Throw over there. That was a big bass. You could hear the suction. Oh, we've got it. Oh, come on. Are you still on there? Oh, come on. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's dandy. Throw in a new topwater, y'all. We've got two styles. Well, actually we've got buzz baits as well. This is kind of like a mix between a, you know, like a spook and a gunfish. You're hooked up. Dad, did you get that fish that was up there? Oh, yeah. I'm glad you cleared that one out of the way. He pulled drag. Like, he was El Mondo for a sec, like father-like son. Little crappie jig. You just snuck up there with that crappie jig. I did. I thought, hey, you missed that topwater. He'll surely hit there. You're right. Got him. Oh, that's a little better. Maybe? No? Little guy. Come here, sir. Oh, yeah. Okay. First fish of the day for me. A little bigger than dad's. Just take note of that. But dad had first blood, so just a nice, healthy, you know, 14 inch. Probably keeper bass. Really nice. Okay. What I'm rigging up right here right now, y'all, is a little shaky head creature rig for my dad. I think this little head hitting on the rocks is a big deal. This is actually a Carl's Amazing Bates little creature bait, Gator Hog. So I'm also going to take some of this JJ's magic right here and just dip the little tails. Just getting a little flair, a little excitement. Well, this guy had it for a while. It dropped off that lead and he was sitting there with it. He's got it down his little gullet there, little guy. Switched up to a Mondo worm, not the 10 inch. That's all I'll say. Put it on that shaky head, which I think is key right now. It just makes, it makes the right sound on those rocks. Going through the side, gill plate, twist and lift it out of there. All right, buddy. See ya. This little guy will not let go of my worm. I'm going to have to set it there. He's tiny. Got him deep. That's a big one. Oh, come on. That was a dandy. I'm not sure what happened there. But that, that was the one. Throwing up shallow, getting little bites and then trying to work it out deep. Haven't gotten many. I think it's because it's just morning. There's still a lot of shallow feeding, but just being really shy on hard baits. And that one was, that one was the good one. That was probably 15 feet down. That's what's up there. A little bite in our baits. I think there's a few big ones up there that are feeding, but not many. Dang, man. I got a good hooks. I don't know one too. He was like, he was taking line. Right under the boat. And I just jerked him through up to the bank. And I got a micro bass. Sucks about these guys. They always tear up your plastics too. Just voraciously slinging their heads around. Wow. Is that a bluegill? I think it might be. Green sunfish. Let's evaluate the species here. It's, uh, yeah. It's a green sunfish. Update. We haven't really got out of the, uh, just going to say four pound zone. Two pound zone. Currently. I had a big one on. Just loaded up. And I knew for sure it was a big bass. Probably over five. But I don't know what happened. Hook just popped out. Sometimes that's the way she goes. So right now I'm hodling, trying to find some more fish. That seems to be key. We're going to run around the lake a little bit too. Try to look for these rocks. Um, just going slow. Shaky heads. Taking the bottom. Creature baits. Worms. Throw in some prototype baits today. Won't be out for a while. But, same. It's pretty good. What are you thinking? What are your thoughts? Birthday boys? Well, they're deep. The big ones are deep. The big ones are deep. The small ones are up on the shoreline. That's been evident. We have learned that. I'm thinking about throwing a lipless crank bait. Get it down deep. Rip it over the top of their heads. Go for it, man. Go for it. Come on. Worm is your thing. I know, I know. Worm's your thing. When I was younger, man, that's all I did. Now that I'm, you know, 60, it's, uh, harder to feel. Yeah, that's, you know. Never lose the feel. You may lose your sight. But don't ever lose the feel. I agree. LFT, out here helping me film. My GoPro died. So, uh, just found a little bit of rocks like we were talking about. I was dragging them on to Worm. A big bass for this lake is, you know, a nice bass, like three to four pounds. Wouldn't you agree, Dad? Like, when we catch three or four pounds. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Like this one's going to be in the five. You just got to get a little bit deeper for that bigger bite. Strong. They're strong. They're so healthy. The lake was so high this spring it was like so hard to fish. Now they're just, look, hey, he's just got it down his throat. Go ahead and hit the like button for a 60-year-old dad out here filming. I want you to just look down that throat right there. Okay, so what I'm going to do, because I caught this fish deep, I'm going to put it in the live well for a second. Got an oxygenator on this boat. Get it going back to life and then we'll let it go. Okay, so we'll get that fish all spruced up with the oxygenator here on the silver bullet and send her back on into the deeps. Well, I'm just going to go ahead and say it because literally the first cast that I've made with this bait, I did it the other day with Rob, first cast I hooked a fish about four pounds. I've been working on some, you know, future generation models of goog and baits and that was one of them there. Just be on the lookout. It's happening. I've caught a lot of big fish, all those baits so far. There's other stuff that I filmed the other day. You guys won't see for a while, but it's pretty good. Okay dad, you know the cast to make? I'm ready. Just send her on out. Don't throw that lipless. I'm so bad. Yeah, that's proof is in the pudding. I don't know how many fish are living down there. It might be one of those situations where there's only a few fish on that spot, but they're just good ones. That's sometimes the deal on summertime fishing, you know, you just have to hop around a bunch and catch a, if you're trying to like catch a big bag, you know, catch a few one good fish off each spot, brush pile, whatever it is, and then just keep going. Baby, begging. Okay. Hold your big bag here. Nice and ready to go. Grab them by the face. I already got a couple pictures. And we're just going to let it go. Let's go back into the deeps. You're such a sweetie pie. Well bam. Okay. It's time to fish down the bank a little bit more. We are very, very fortunate. I dare say blessed to have some cloud cover. Please don't go away. It feels like we've been in the desert for two weeks out here in Texas. Maybe a little chance of rain. It rained last night. I was hoping that was going to get the top waters tickling, but it did not. I had one little bite on there. One decent bite. It's just a slow dragon worm kind of day, which is fine with me. Hooked up. Little offshore bass. Had it. Not feeling, just chomping on my line. There we go. Nice fish. It's nice, you know. Nice little 14 inch bass. These are just healthy summer fish. Not a big one, but sign of life just ran to another spot. And that fish was offshore here. And about eight, eight to 10 foot of water. See you Betty. The setup here that I'm using really good for feeling bites. I've talked about this a little bit before. I've got 12, this is either 12 or 15. Guggen's Quad Flurro. And that's a liter onto a 20 pound Guggen's Quad braid. There's got to be a few of them in here. My dream is to find a spot like this out here that's just got like dozens of bass on it. Oh, there's another bite. I think. Oh, yes. Oh God, I pulled it out of his daggers mouth. I don't think it's that cool. Like that is a big weight that's coming. Oh, little bass up there. I want that big one. Hang on, Dad. Wakes are coming. Oh, there's another one. Man, just getting like destroyed by some little fish here. Wow. I think that's what was biting me down there. When you're a little guy like that eating a Mondo worm, you've got some serious feracity. I'm not 100% certain about that species. But it's going back. Oh, chasing shad right there. Oh, they're bringing them up. Those are bass, Dad. Oh, look at them. Look at them. They're bass. Popping those shad out of the water. Oh my gosh, I ran my lure right by him. Why not throw the topwater? Mid-day. Oh no. Tangled my danglers. Probably too late. You've got about five and a half seconds usually on those situations. Oh, he's by it. Come on now. They revealed themselves down there. Did you get a fish? What do you got? A white bass on the flutter. That was 100% a largemouth that I saw just hovering on that shad. Oh my gosh. That's got to be a big bass. Absolutely smashed it. Absolutely smashed that Mondo worm. Oh yeah, it's a giant. It's a giant on the Mondo. Biggin' baby. Smash the Mondo worm out in like 30 feet water. God, I knew I saw some good ones on the graph right there. Look at that big bass. Oh baby. No. That's a nice fish though. God, he just smashed it so hard. Come here, Brutus. Bah. Mondo. I'm going to put this one in the well just like the last one. Revive it. Another biggin' on the Mondo Mondo. The 10-inch Mondo worm. One of my favorite summertime colors. I've said this before, but just purple colored worms. I know this one's not purple, but this is like the exception. Junebug, blue fleck, dark, purple, reds. I don't know. They just do it in the summertime. I think that's a quarter. I know it's a 516 sounds weight, pegged. And that was deep. That was like 30 feet deep. Got one? Dad's hooked up. That's a large mouth or white bass? White bass. No, it's a large mouth. Not a giant, but dad's hooked up. A little shaky head. Just out there getting it done. Just getting it done in the deeps. Pretty fish. Okay. Second one. Yeah, right after you caught that big one, I said I'm going to get in that spot and see what I can do. I'm going back. I had one of the best bites of like deep bites of the year for me. I just knew it was like boom. And literally I was telling dad because we were trying. We were in that weird time zone where it was like we were kind of fishing up shallow and they were moving off. It's about time for them to move out a little bit, get settled in the deeps. I was like there's just something about when you throw a big worm or a jig out there in deep water, like 20 plus and you get a bite and you just know it's probably going to be a hog and that was exactly, exactly like I was talking about and just brought it up. Oh yeah, it's big, big, big. Got to freaking love it. Smash that like button, y'all. Okay, y'all. Just another nice toad out here. This might be the day in there because it's just such a hot. It's going to be a hot day. It's been a great morning. One of my favorite bites of the year so far, well, of the of the summer, let's say that. Nice, healthy, fat fish. This fish are just doing well. Had that fish in the oxygenator, got it all revived, ready to go. Should just take off. There's got to be an absolute hog down there. This area right here, they've got big gizzard shad probably crappie. A lot of bluegill living in those rocks. Come on, there should be just like an eight pounder on this thing. How can that be the only two fish? Oh, there's a bite. Oh, he broke me off. That's a good bite too. Fresh retie as well. Like that? No. I think there's some zebra action in there. Okay. I'll give her one more try. That Mondo is 17 pound. Got to do it. We've broken off two fish in the last five minutes. It's been very disappointing. That must have been like a rope or fishing line because I lifted out and it pulled back. Oh, that's hurt. That felt nice. Try getting a little crank on them here. They've been liking it very slow today, but try to get one on a crank. We've seen a couple fish come up. Nice fish. Oh, sugar booger. Not much fight to you. One last little jump. Good fish. I guess we'll end on that healthy chunk. Coming on a Mondo worm. Nice fish to end the day on with the Mondo worm. We're going to close it out right here with a sniff and a flip. That's right. I said a flip. This is going to be a crazy release. Just in honor of my dad. I'm bass fishing. A couple of five, six pounders in a day. And then just ending it on a good old fashioned Mondo worm. And I'm really hot and I want to go to the lake. I'm going to jump in with the bass. Don't forget to subscribe right here to the channel. Go ahead and hit the like button for awesomeness.
