And I know by the end of the year, we can hit a million. So today, we're going to be doing some pond fishing. Going to be doing a little bit of bank fishing around these ponds over here. And hopefully we're going to catch a really big bass. We're going to be throwing some frogs. Also, I have a couple other baits tied on. And we're just going to hunt for these big old bass. We're actually out here on a golf course today. Fishing some juicy little areas. And so I'm just hoping that we catch a really big one. Last time we came out here, we didn't catch any really big fish. But we did have some good bites. And I think we can make it happen today. The weather's beautiful. Bluebird sky's out. The wind's moving just a little bit, chilling us off. So let's go ahead and hop into this video and see if we can catch some big ones. So I brought a few boxes of tackle today. We're keeping it super basic. Right here we got our frog box. I know you guys saw this one in the last videos, but I'll show you one more time. Look at all our hollow belly frogs in there. A bunch of different colors, natural colors, whites, blacks. And that's what we're going to be starting off with. I actually have one on my rod that's brown. And I think I'm going to throw that for a little bit. And if we don't have any bites on it, we can always switch up. Some of the other boxes I have out today, it's like a little walking bait box. And then a little popper box right here. But that's probably going to be for a different episode. So if you guys want to watch that one, make sure you turn on the post notifications. Stay tuned for that episode. So this is the frog rod that I got. It's a Mach 2 reel on a Mach 2 rod with 65 pound braid. And then we got a little brown pop and frog right there. I think that's what we're going to start off with. And then I have one other combo just to get some other fish on the bank. And this is a custom pro on a Mach 2 with a chatter donk on it, black and blue. And this is on 17 pound floor carbon. We're going to take this with us as well, because I think we can catch a lot more fish. Should we throw this around a little bit? And I think we have a bigger chance of catching some monster bass today if we bring this along with us. So let's go ahead and grab these two rods, get out to the pond, see what we're working with today, and try to catch a big one. So we don't get to fish golf course ponds often, but I'm going to tell you, man, when we get the opportunity to, we're going to come out here and do it. They're actually closed today, so, you know, we're not bothering anybody that's golfing. That's like a big thing when you come out to these places. As long as you have permission to fish them, you know, you're good. And as long as nobody's swinging golf balls, that's the last thing you want. I remember one time we came out on a golf course and they weren't supposed to be golfing, you know, it was like closed for the day. And this person cracked this ball and just, I'm telling you about drill this. So be careful out there. Last thing you want to do is get knocked out by a golf ball. Make sure you ask for permission when you're fishing places like this. But I think we're going to catch a big one today. Last time we came out here is probably, I'd say, maybe a month ago. And I broke off a freaking giant. He was on bed. He was like probably six pounds. Snapped him right off. So hopefully he's hungry today. We're going to get revenge on him. There's a bunch of slop on top of the water, but I could be wrong. But I really think this is from them cutting the grass a second ago. Like, yeah, there's a little bit of slop. There's a bunch of grass that you could tell them trimming this. I just blew up in the water. There's a bunch of slop in that corner. So that's going to be perfect for this frog. So we're just going to start casting. It's fairly clear water in this pond. It's not really big. It's not a huge place. But there are some really big bass in here. And, you know, like I said, the last time I came out, or the last few times I've came out, you know, we've had at least one opportunity to catch a big one. So let's go ahead and start off with this frog. We're going to throw in the slop a good bit along the bank edge to kind of parallel cast. And then if we don't have any bites, we'll pick up this chatterdunk and start casting this around and try to pick up this fish I didn't want to come up. All right, boys and girls, let's get today started. Let's see if we can get on some old frogfish right where I just casted that. It's actually where I missed that big one last time. I didn't miss him. He just totally snapped me off. I think I just had a fray in my line. The last time we were out here, too, it was actually pretty dang windy. And it made it hard to fish the frog. So we didn't really spend too much time at this pond either. It was just probably a brief 20 minutes. We went to a bunch of other ponds. That's why I'm wanting to start off with this one today because I think we have a chance of hooking a slonchy. Oh my gosh. I got a line dangling from my head. That was a big fish, dude. Did you see that blow? That was a big one. All right, maybe he'll bite it because I think he totally missed it. I'll lay it right on his head. I think that was a different fish. They might be loaded in that corner. That was a decent one. I mean, it wasn't like a giant, but that was a really good bass. That was a high two pounder. Could have been three maybe, but probably a high two. I cast right before. I think that was a whole different fish right there. I actually didn't land in the same spot. And this slop is just like, not really the slop that you would like to fish, but obviously fish are hanging under it. So it's really all that matters. Just get stuck on this frog. If I was using a standard frog instead of a poppin' frog, I wouldn't have this problem. All right, so we had those two bites. Both the bites was right when this frog hit that thick stuff, and they just demolished it. I think I laid it on top of their head. But we had that one. He came off, had that bite before. I think what I'm going to do now is pick up that chatterdunk, cast around a little bit, see if we can get some fish to bite, and then what we'll do is either pick up this frog or this frog. But I have to give that chatterdunk a try, because like I said, there's some big ones out here. And I don't want to skip over any big fish. I want to catch them. Nasty. I was using this reel for the last episode. If you guys haven't checked it out, go check it out. It's the bluegill fishing video. We caught some monster fish in that. So if you guys want to go check it out, feel free. I have like a bottom rig rigged up on this rod. The line is just all messed up and tangled up in it. I'm going to check my drag too, because that would be my last mistake. There she is. I need to get like a good long cast of this to get the line all straightened out. Oh my God. Dude, that was crazy. As it was falling, had one destroying me right there. Hey. Hey. I'm holding off for dear life. Ooh. Get me out of there. Oh my God. Ate it right away, dude. Things fighting hard as can be. Nice. First fish of the day. Took a second. We got her. Come here, baby. Oh yeah. Not a freaking monster, but it's a good solid two-pound chatter-dunk bass. Nice. You were supposed to eat a frog earlier, but he didn't want to. They're a little further off the bank right now, that's all I was thinking. That's why I wanted to bring this bad boy. Got our first little fat guy today. Pretty dude. Almost a two-pounder. He is really thick too, I'm surprised. Let's get him back in the water. All right, there we go. Pretty bass. Thank you, buddy. First fish today. I think Cody were just talking about it. He threw it out there, and he happened to just eat it right away. That was weird. He was all off the bank. I think the majority of these fish are. It's starting to get hot, guys. Summer temps are coming in. I think next week it's going to be 100, which is ridiculous. I think yesterday was like mid-80s. Today is probably going to be the same, but next week is going to get up to like 99. It's going to be brutal when filming these videos. Oh, gosh. That fish felt so big. I thought that was a mega. He's a good one, but I thought, man, I thought that was a five, six-pounder. Look at this. Loaded up on it right away like that last one. These fish are fighting really hard. Come here, buddy. A little bit smaller than the first one. It's just pretty markings on. Hit that chatter-donk really good. He did the same thing as the first one, though. It's like, I throw it in there and he already has it. I'm like, what? But I actually thought that was a big fish. For some reason, he felt really big. Maybe it was how he ate it. Pretty gold markings on that bass. About a pound and a half here. Thank you, buddy. There he goes. He'll be right there, big boil on the bank. It's only about two pounds, but he just came up out of nowhere. Oh, he just ate it. What in the world is he doing? He's not eating it. He took my trailer and I hate to bring it to you guys, but I wasn't expecting to throw this today, so I guess that's what we have to throw in is just the chatter bait. Oh my God, he's trying to eat it again. He's going crazy on this thing. This fish is just like chilling. You guys can probably see him. Watch this. Dude, I've never in my life seen a fish go so weird on a bait and not eat it. They kept trying to eat it and just not eating it. There he got it at that time. So weird, man. That fish was just cracked out, man. That was the same one that kept he just kept diving over it and just not wanting to eat it. He ate it at that time, but I didn't hook him. Dude! Oh my God, that fish was so big! Dude, I just had like a freaking five, six pounder three pounder following me up. There's a little one trying to eat it right now. This is crazy. I'm about to lose my marbles. Aim out the water right there. Dude, did you see that fish, Cody? I did. I saw his whole freaking body. That was a freaking monster. Alright, we're going to make one more cast then we're going to go out to that other pond and throw around that frog and try to get on that frog bite. I was just hoping to get a big one on this chatter dunk, but it's all good. I had the opportunity. He just didn't stay pinned. I don't know what happened. I had him on for a couple of seconds. He's like a four and a half pounder, but whatever. Alright. You ready? Let's go cut some frog fish. Just got out to the new pond and it is looking oh my God, look at that carp. You see that? See his tail? Big boy. He's roaming right there. This place looks really good. It has like a bunch of this slop on it. Last time we came out here it was extra windy. So I think we're going to catch a few. We're going to throw this little brown frog right here popping frog. Get to work on these frog bites so let's see if we can catch one. Oh yeah baby, first frog fish of the day. Not a bad one. Not a big one, but not a bad one. Look at that. It's a nice fish. Not a big one, but pretty good. I'm going to tell you, any fish is fun to catch on a frog. Especially when you're throwing in this like a lot like that. It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun when gators aren't trying to eat your fish. They lubed up this grass, bro. I don't know what they put on it, but it's about greasy as crap, dude. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm good, but I think Mr. Bass is about knocked out. Oh my God. Dude, I busted it. You know what's funny dude is like I've been waiting on the day that I bust my butt on this pond because I like, I'll come out here and I'm always slipping, but I never fall. You're laughing so bad. Can you at least look cool? I'm going to put it on slow-mo so everybody can see exactly what it is. Dude, I busted it. I was about to say I almost busted it. Nah dude, I busted it. I think I didn't slide in the dang water or dang alligator come bite my leg off or something. Let's try not to do that again. Do you see one? Pull them out of all this slop. Well, that fish actually ate it without me even popping it. That's pretty cool. Like throwing the edge of that grass. The only thing that I'm having like a hard problem with I love fishing like thick slop but the problem with this slop is that I'm throwing a poppin' frog and when I fish thick stuff like this I don't want to throw a regular frog, but I mean I'm still going through it. I'm kind of focusing on throwing in the open spots of all this matted stuff. Really pretty colors, just not the biggest fish. Thank you, Bubba. Still fun to catch. Let's try not to fall this time. Thank you, guy. I don't know if you see that. There's two sitting in that corner. You see them? They should eat it. One of them are going to eat it. They're sitting under that grass. Oh, dude, there's a decent one. Oh, yeah, he's about to eat it. That's a good one. Oh, yeah. Dude, he choked it, too. That was so cool. Look at how that bass ate it. That's one of the best ones today. Freaking choked that frog. We actually saw him sitting under that grass when it's super hot especially in the summertime and you have a lot of vegetation like this. What those bass do is you have these little patches and they sit under it because it protects them from the sun and get in that shade. That frog landed right next to him. He saw that thing land over there and he just got aggressive and destroyed it. That is a really nice fish right there. Choked that frog in the back of his throat. That's a good one. All right. Thank you, buddy. That was a good fish. Give me some, Cody. Get it. I actually saw one that was right under this patch. Let's see if she'll eat it. Oh, yeah. Oh, dude. Dude, there's like freaking ten of them. There's ten of them. They're coming all over to it right now. Like ten fish. My line. Yeah, do you see him looking at it? What if he eats it as a ding? Oh, my God. Oh, last second. Oh, my gosh. They're like hanging right under it. Dude, they're like... Oh, that was so cool. Dude. That's the stuff that just makes me lose my marbles. That was one of the coolest bites. That's a good fish, too, man. Oh, my God, it was dangling right there on the edge. That's a stud. Not a giant, but that's a freaking stud muffin. Nice. Let's get him back in the water. We're not going to put him over here. This is the thing, guys, when you see multiple fish like that, one, you want to stay low. I don't know if you guys noticed, I crouched you down. Make sure you couldn't see me. And two, you don't want to throw the fish right back on where you caught him because then he's going to tell his buddies. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate you. Get you back in. All right, guys. Oh, there's another one under that patch. Do you see it, Cody? Dude, I'm just, like, sight-fishing these guys. Is that one swimming? He's kind of looking at me. I hope he doesn't see me. Uh-oh. He's going to eat it. He's right under it right now. There's, like, three of them just kind of nosed up at my frog. God, that's a good one. These are some good fish in this corner. Oh, my God. That's a freaking big one, dude. That's the biggest bass today. Look at that one. Guys, look at that one right there. Look how he ate it. Choked it, dude. That's a freaking brute. These fish are getting bigger and bigger. In this corner, they're loaded. We fished this whole pond. We really didn't have any luck. I think I caught one. All of a sudden, like, come back in this corner and there's this fish loaded everywhere. And that is a freaking brute chunk right there. Nice. Well, we are putting it together really fast, guys. You go from, like, really not catching... Oh, my God, there's so many swimming right there. You go from, like, barely catching any and just smoking them in one spot. Which, that just shows, you guys, like I talked about at the beginning, you got to keep moving and you got to cover water and once you find the fish, you kind of hunker in and start catching them. Like, the same way it goes for lakes, ponds, rivers, private ponds, pressured ponds. I mean, it doesn't matter. You know, you got to move and find those fish. Once you find them, you can capitalize. That's how you do it right there, baby. Oh, man. Some guys are bass or predators and they get triggered very easy if you piss them off. You know, I could have thrown in that fish once. He wasn't going to eat it. I had to throw it probably seven, eight times within 60 seconds. I worked that frog really fast. I could see by the bass's movement that he was starting to get aggressive and he finally came up and ate that frog. He's got to be patient with it. Trigger this fish to bite. It's really aggressive. One of the smallest ones I've caught over here but still a pretty fish. Thank you, bud. See you later, dude. Throw in that tree. See if it'll come up out of the slop. Dude, that was so cool. He freaking hammered that thing. Dude, it's so crazy fishing this frog in clear water to where you can actually see him come up and eat it. It's just like a whole different level of frog fishing. They just run over to it or swim over to it. That bass right there. Pretty markings on him. Really pretty fish. I think that's going to close off today's video.
