 Yeah, it's dropping off the floor That's a big one. Oh my god, it's a first cast first cast on a spinnerbait No freaking way no freaky Bradley Here in the morning actually about to go Get some batteries in the boat as you guys know we've been having all sorts of problems lately just with everything Broke my camera that camera's toast try to buy a new one yesterday. They're out of stock We're gonna be fishing the mid-river today. That's what we're gonna start calling it Bradley We're fishing the mid-river There's a tournament tomorrow so we're practicing today for it. So today's a big day Today's gonna determine where we need to go tomorrow if we're gonna even visit See if the big ones are biting but We're gonna go out there give it our best shot Hopefully find some big fish. It's gonna be a good day. We're gonna go inside get some drinks Put it out up get some gas don't get batteries All right guys just get to the boat ramp we actually stopped by we had to put new batteries in the boat as I was talking about Spin about a G spend a thousand dollars on freakin batteries. We got the north star AGMs in there We have five batteries total in my boat, so I'm running the big birds when I got that 16 inch I've talked to a lot of people and they're like man. You got to put an extra battery in this boat So yeah, we're all good to go on that think the batteries are all good. We're all charged up I think we're gonna be good today. What's up? Yeah, we forgot the ice and the cooler that's gonna be a hot one But like I said pre-fishing day, we're gonna rock it today if you guys are new to the channel Please hit that subscribe button hit the notification bell also hit the like button This is pure bass fishing on this channel guys That's all we do and I'm sure you guys enjoy the videos if you're new to the channel But um where to go ahead and get started unhooked the boat backer in the water and start finding some fish today Here we go boys kick a mobile Back in a zing got a little intern Brad Back in a sin in today's video Just go ahead and get this rock in and rolling. I'm excited. We got to find some fish today I'm gonna tell you that we're gonna be fishing new bodies of water new areas on the river today That we haven't fished before so excited about that should be a good day Hopefully these batteries are gonna run good too But we should be good. It's gonna be fun. What are you doing back there boy? Got the old poles down got the rub guard up here. We're good to go. We're ready for blast off today intern Brad You ready today? I mean, we just got to catch this 10 pounds. It's no biggie practice Get our life jackets guys See first get a life jackets. I'm big fan or not We're a life Jackie save lives what in the world is going on here We got a very fresh tree. I must have happened Like last night Actually that actually probably happened this week. All right here. We are to get it started I'm gonna start off with a chatter donk. I'm really just hunting for them big fish today I want to want to see how we can catch them big ones. It's actually the rivers flooded Or it's a lot higher than it was. I wouldn't say flooded, but as you guys can tell these banks right here All the water got up in that grass Now that might be a good way to get Some good bites thrown around there I'm gonna throw a chatter donk a good bit. Oh my god. That was so bad. Good way to start it That crank fight's been nasty. You can find the right stuff I think it'd be a way to catch a really big fish. So we're just gonna cover water back in this first little spot See if we can find some good fish They're gonna be all up in this new vegetation. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying. You gotta get way up in there If I would have seen that the water got up like this You know, you gotta Get it up around them tree. Yeah, fluke might not be a bad idea One ounce weight Like I flip in that I'm talking No, oh No freaking way No freaking Bradley Just doubled up, baby Did you see him almost take the rod out of my hand? I wasn't really in the bait. He just like literally started Whistling my rod Okay Okay Yeah, I went in mine these the other day you thought he was big didn't you? Maybe he hammered it good, didn't you? See, there's no mistaken on that type of rig. Look at that guys Literally we double up on our first fish of the day I was watching Bradley and I had my crankbait pause and it was floating What I think happened is the bait was floating up and the fish grabbed it all the summer raw was just going These are nice. These are two good keepers. Yeah Oh He did a little trick shot I ain't gonna lie. That was the most messed up bite. I've had on a crankbait ever I was literally watching you dude and the rod just goes rump. He did it all himself Yeah, that was cool that fish that I just caught dude. I didn't even I He literally hooks at himself and my rod just started taking off and I'm like what? I mean you don't Yeah, you don't gotta worry about it either you got braid you flip over trees as long as just the goal is when you hook them You got to keep that rod up and reel That's the only thing with that big rig like that As long as you keep that rod up and you reel and crank that fish in I don't care how big he is Yeah, you got to get them out. But if you if you try to I'm talking the moment you hook set dude You're no setting the rod down there. You you need to reel as much as you can and get that fish out of that cover Three times I get a bite of No biggin Okay Little dinker. That's not a keeper. That's a keeper. I got three I don't really like fishing like this before I really got him another one on that big flippin rig. Golly. They've been thumping it good Oh, oh, I mean like they're on me I don't know No, uh first cast first cast on the spinnerbait That's a good one too Doubled up back to back baby. This is kicking their bets. We already got a we got over a linear Is that five fish that's five fish intern brad with the fish. All right. That's what I want to do I don't want to fish. No, I I want to go back there all the way to the back Yeah, don't don't yeah, don't don't cast anyone I'll jack that son too Yeah, these are six sense ones. Yeah Bradley why are you casting? I All right intern brad too many monsters Enter brad's had about seven too many monster. We already caught six fish We're not supposed to be catching them brad. We put him back Let him swim because Jack this bait. Oh, bro. Spinner bait done for Well, that's Remember last night. That was a good That was a good uh good conversation like three I mean brad we're talking. I told I was like texting them all all that was like I'm thinking this we're thinking this we're thinking about the fish late last night. Yeah, don't cast right here anymore And it goes that way Oh, dude, this is where we're starting Bradley, what are you doing? That's a huge one. Bradley. That's like a four Oh my god, that's a free that's a four pounder I'll get a picture Bradley stop Dude, we got that that's another fish that we ain't gonna catch tomorrow. That's a four pounder Yeah, I can get your picture, but Jesus christ, Bradley I just said don't cast over there and guess what he does you cast a spinner rate 10 times over there Bradley yes, sir, baby. We making this video half in a day brad's on the track All right brad calm down Yeah, don't throw the spinner bait anymore. I was literally coming over this tree just to drop in the middle of it to see if it brad just Don't throw a moving bait you need to be shaking some off Like I said, I want to go back here because it could be like this is the thing I don't want to come here during the tournament And then catch this, you know have to go all the way back there for nothing But then again, if they're biting that good, they should be biting there, but yeah, they're biting Yeah, you want to idle us back there. What are you throwing? They're eating that spinner bait. Oh my god. Look at this come off my rod. Oh my god All right, let's leave. I'm serious actually idle to the back It's Bradley. I couldn't even get him off the rod bro. I wasn't I didn't even hook set him Give me some for the video. Give me some for the video, baby. Is that like fish number eight, bro? Dude, we gotta calm down. Yeah, we gotta calm Dude, this fish is oh my god. Look at the water temp, dude. That cooled off the water that rain They're munching like we just gotta leave I do want to go in the back though. These trees are good. We don't need a cast on these anymore. Okay, brad I think they like this heavier weight because it falls faster. Yeah, I do too Did you see me trying to get them off? Are you shaking? I never hooked that he was just like Until he got down in there and I was like, I ain't breaking this rig off over a fish All right, let's idle to the back because like I said, I want to look at that Yeah, that's stupid So guys, we just came to the back not the the very back is right ahead of us And we're about to the quarter point before we reach the back So we're gonna try right here just see if we can get a few bites And once we get a bite, we're just we're gonna go all the way to the back try that If we get a bite there, we're out. We already caught way too many fish in here. I wasn't expecting this honestly the waters rose And I don't think people could get back in here and there's actually deep holes. This is 12 foot of water. This is juice Oh my god, yeah, I don't want to catch anymore They just hooked theirself honestly. All right. Well, we were done fishing in here What's up guys? So we're gonna go over what we're doing today. We're actually kind of punching slash flipping We're throwing a one ounce weight. I like to use two bobber stops and a three odd six cents hook The crawl because we're that's yeah, that's not the best. It's not the ideal bait Honestly, even a striker would be a lot better on there just because it's but the prawn the prawns That's what we got some we got some we need to try this But I'm throwing on a heavy rod and it's ready for two ounces I'm throwing on 65 pound braid with the dial High-speed reel. I think it's an eight of one flipping in that thick cover Where traditionally you couldn't get a texas rig. So you were punching through that little mat layer Feeling tug on it and just ripping them out of talk about the fall of the bait because I think the fall of the bait is a big key Yeah, so the fall of the bait is you want to pair your weight up So like when you're throwing a one ounce you're getting a really fast fall compared to that three ounce that we Three eighths ounce that we traditionally throw on the main river and around typically You get a real faster fall rate and it makes the fish react when it hits the bottom Because it's just resuming right by their face So pretty much what brad was saying getting up in that stuff where you can't get a texas rig like You got these bushes right here and you can literally I mean Bradley probably thinks i'm crazy for doing that but you you can really get up in those trees and in those areas Yeah, you normally couldn't get in when you're when you're throwing braid like this and pretty much This is the only downside and the only downside about this is honestly that speed crawl like the speed crawl is not meant for this Is there any prawns yet the prawn see this is i'll tell you guys exactly why the prawn would be a lot better than this What All right, they're prom of six cents if you want to get a discount, but let me explain why So pretty much this is a beaver bait. Yeah The reason you want a beaver bait, so all right, we got a we got a zoom speed crawl and we got the prawn next to each other The reason you want this beaver bait is the way it's shaped Okay, so when that goes down in that stuff It's going to go down a lot smoother rather than a big crawl with a bunch of big pincers The bait's designed to go through stuff like that see all the head shaped and then see all the tails tapered off So this bait's going to go there go through that stuff a lot Better than your standard crawl. So if you're like flipping if you're punching some thick stuff I prefer a beaver style bait, which this prawn is The one thing I love about the prawn Is that it's actually more of a finesse beaver Um, and I know that sounds a little weird You don't really hear that but in my opinion I call it more of a finesse beaver just because it has a honestly a smaller profile than Some of the beavers out and i'm a big fan of that because A lot of the times a beaver won't won't get bit a ton, but usually when it does it's a big fish But the good thing about the prawn it's a good middle hybrid So it's not too big Of a beaver it's right there in the middle. So you rig it up just like that pretty basic And then pretty much we're flipping around some of these cypress trees, which normally I want to do with a big weight like this You just want like a smaller finesse texas rig, but they're eating it And what we were talking about is the rate of fall with that one ounce weight So pretty much when you're lifting your rod that bait is deaning all the way down on the bottom instantly So that's the good thing about that So you're flipping up there the bait goes right to the bottom rather than that slow fall And I think that's really what's triggering those bass today knowing that they were a little active eating that spinner bait They're a little more active than usual. They're not slow On what? On a fluke Hey, you saw them schooling bass. They might be small, but um anyways what I was talking about just flipping in there I'm letting it hit the bottom that's that quick fall and I really think that's what's triggering this fish I don't know if it's just the lake that we went into guys. That's how it was that one tournament You know, we just found one place that was really We found more fish in other places, but you find that one area where there's just so many fish condensed and like Big trees see how quick you can move with this thing too throw it in there give it a couple hops The fish ain't taking out of your hand reel it back in Pitch it again up in there on the different angle of the tree Do the same thing repeat So then we got the stump right here Flip right up on that stump let it hit the bottom pop it a couple times All right, fish doesn't have it really back in Flip onto the next piece of cover and keep doing that So guys we talk about when it when it floods and the water comes up and the bass come up on the bank Eat all the insects you won't believe what we just found you see all those things on the water looks like feathers Those are all caterpillars That is Dude, that's crazy. Those are all caterpillars though. Yeah Yeah, it's going well, it's just going to be leading up to the storm. So it's going to be a low Just these fish get so far up in these trees Or you almost can't get to them Unless you're catching the ones cruising on the edge See this is the thing like a lot of them fish will be pushed up But then you're gonna have this fish cruising the edge that are eating those bluegill popping You know, so there's bluegill popping at the edge Like there'd be bass out there just cruising Just like that Look how he ate it Knocks slack on my line See up in these trees guys The problem is these fish get so far up in the trees If you notice the difference between that bank and everything else is open water all the way to the bank Therefore we could get our bait up in there. So these fish, you know, it just rained These fish are getting way up in this stuff. So you got to get your bait back in there And what's happening is you're either going to catch them way back up in there I started fishing to jump to Or you're going to catch them on the edge because we've seen bluegill popping along the edge of these willow trees It's what this bass would do. This fish that are roaming the edge eating the bluegill. That's That's another Great way of catching them up in this stuff. I'm just wondering if there's fish back in this stuff You're wearing a foot of water. So it deepened up a little bit Yeah, it's dropping off the floor now Uh-oh, that's a biggin. That's a biggin. That's a biggin Yep, right in the back Jesus Christ. That's a good fish It's a really good fish for the river guys. You'd be surprised. We just came all the way back in the spot Didn't have any bites, but we were just thinking all the way in the back Right there That's exactly where I thought he's gonna be That's a good bass. One of the best today second best Golly Yeah, I gotta see it. Oh my god, Bradley Yeah, it's got natural water pouring in here. Oh my gosh Can I catch one bank fishing the river? So if you guys notice Got this little creek coming in Pour natural water bit in the back of this place We can't get back here in the boat. That's the only problem and I can't Get out there in the tournament I don't think so at least There's some froggy and punchy looking stuff back there too Looks so good. I think the line is kind of creepy This is a low key kind of sketch So clear in there. Oh my god. Oh my gosh. You almost jerk the rod out of my hand Oh my god, this is crazy. I gotta catch one bank fish in the river. That's an accomplishment There's one right over there. I didn't stick him. He just pulled the rod on my hand. I don't think he's big Right there. Yes. Oh my god This is actually kind of ballsy for me to do. I really think much about it. I'm just like I guess I'm going on the bank Oh my god Oh my god I didn't even get the gopro on until a second ago. Yes, baby on the flipping stick. This is why you throw a flipping stick Oh my god You just dropped it in on that That's a giant, dude That's your biggest fish on the river in a long time Dude, that's all big That's another game playing boys That's why you punch mats Pump, baby. Let's go win this tournament tomorrow. We need two of these. That's a big, you know why you know why? She got that big bass in her chip, baby. Okay. I'm I would Let's say something, but we're not See, you know, Bradley got that big bass All right, bro. You're not picked with this thing so we can do it. All right All right, Bradley Put him in the water That really sucks. So that's one more big that we we aren't going to catch tomorrow But there's got to be more. There's got to be more. Give me someone that that's a good fish Two fish in here for about seven and a half pounds. That's uh, that seriously took us over the top of the day Yeah, I should get much You see that? Dude, I slung his butt right in the corner of the bottom of the jack. I'm so sorry bud. That was Swam off perfectly fine. Dude that fish. Well, you didn't even see where I skirted them on the floor
