 Guys that's a big one. I can't even move. Oh my god. Adam, I got a huge one. Yo what's poppin people. Welcome back to another episode of Kicking Their Bass TV. Today we're going to be fishing with big swim baits for some big pond bass. You guys have been asking for this video for a while. We filmed a lot of swim bait videos in the past, but it's been well over a year. And today we're going to be fishing with some giant swim baits. Got my boy A-Dub behind the camera. If you guys are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, share this video with a friend. It helps out more than you guys know. And hit the like button. Thank you guys so much. We're going to go ahead and hop right into this. And I think we're going to hook some really big bass today. Not only do we have big swim baits to catch big bass, we've got to scale with us today as well. So we're going to be flopping them on that. But we're going to go ahead and hop into this one. If you want to check out A-Dub's channel, I'll put it in the description box down below. But let's go ahead and show you guys what swim baits we got with us today. Rig them up on our rods and go hook a double digit. I think it's going to happen. Let's get it. So we got a few different swim baits laid out on the bed of my truck right here. A-Dub actually brought all of these. I don't have a ton of swim baits. I got some like S-Wavers, maybe a few Gantra rails. Had a bunch of mag drafts in the past. But I'm going to show you a little bit of swim baits that we got laid out right here. The options that we have, we have a lot of glide baits. And then we have one big mega swim bait that is actually my favorite ever. So let's go ahead and talk about them. This first one right here, we actually got a S-Waver. Got a Gantra rail. We got a Bullshad right here. These three swim baits that I don't know too much about. I have Adam talk about those. And then my favorite of all time, this is actually the eight inch mag draft. If you guys have been watching the channel for a while, I'd say about what two and a half years ago, Adam, maybe three now, I caught so many big fish on this bait, massive ones. I was even to the point to where I caught a few back to back casts and this bait catches the toads. But yeah, this is an eight inch mag draft. As you guys can tell, it's got a big treble on the bottom. And why they call it a mag draft is because it actually has a magnet right here. And it just lays the hook right there, good and tight. And yeah, this thing is a big fish slayer. It's a great looking bait as well. And it just catches the freaking tank. So I'm going to start off with this today. Adam's going to throw it as well. It is his swim bait and I feel kind of bad, but Adam knows I really love mag draft. So he's going to let me throw it for a little bit. And yeah, we'll move around to some of these glide baits, try a bunch of different swim baits today. If you guys have any suggestions on swim baits that we should try next or swim baits that you would just recommend, let us know in the comment section down below and also comment on your favorite swim bait ever. And I really want to film a swim bait series. So that would help out a lot because if you guys want to see that, get this video to the 5,000 likes and we'll definitely link back up and put together a sweet swim bait series for y'all. But yeah, so I'm going to fall out, aid up on the camera. He's going to talk a little bit about these other ones. Sexy looking good. That's a man right there. You're right about that. That's a man right there. All right, folks, got a couple swim baits. I'm still like really new to this swim bait game. It's like I'm into it, but I'm not really into it. Like I don't have any super, super expensive ones, but this is a bluegill swim bait. I believe this is a depth. I know that this one is. This is a little mini one right here, but both of these look really good. I don't know if they'll work good in this pond, but these are definitely meant for ponds because they're bluegills. So we're going to see if these work pretty good. And then this other one, this is actually a Savage Gear 3D glide. And this thing is just a normal glide bait, kind of similar to this S waiver. I like the S waiver a little bit better. It has a little bit better action, but this right here is a different color. Got a little bit of chrome to it. And honestly, the way Noah's talking, I think either one's going to get bit today. We just got to see what happens. All right, well, we're going to go ahead and hop into this. We're not going to talk much longer, but I will show you guys the rods that we brought out today. I got a bunch of kicking combos lined up. These are going to be able to throw a majority of those glide baits. This is a medium heavy seven foot, but it does have a lot of backbone and we can get away with it. As far as the eight inch mag draft goes, this rod, I'm not going to put it on this. I just don't think that's the right move here. So eight up did bring out one of his nice little swim bait rods right here. And this is by Luz. I'm custom speed stick on a super duty reel. But yeah, if you guys want to check out any of the kick in their bass TV combos, we have the right hand bait casters, left hand bait casters and also spinning combos only on kickintheirbass.com. And if you guys would like to check any of the merch out and support your boy, I'd really appreciate it. Helps me out more than you guys know, especially with how much traveling I'm about to be doing this year. All the merch sales literally goes to my gas money. That's, that's how that works. But I'm going to rig up on one of those kicking combos, a glide bait. And then on that super duty right there, we're going to put the old big boy eight inch mag draft. Let's go ahead and hop into this one. It's going to be a banger. Let's get it, baby. All right, it's time to get this started. I'm so excited to remeat with the mag draft. Oh gosh, I love this one bait. Gotta make sure that this thing's gonna, there we go. Man, I'm excited. I've been wanting to throw one of these for a while. Just, I'd never like went online to go order any and Adam had one out of like, oh my God, dude. You gotta make sure this drags there, right? All right, we're going to get it started, guys. See how this thing cast. Oh yeah, that's perfect for this rod. I'm going to have to get down like the retrieval. And if you guys have any tips over the mag draft retrieve or like what's worked for you guys, let me know in the comment section down below. I'm probably going to go with the slow, steady retrieve. That's about all you need on a big swim bait like this. Oh, it looks so good. I really believe, see, but that's the thing that hook, man, that hook's not laying perfectly. It's like that magnet. Look at that. Just came off instantly. It's all good. Just get a slump like right away. I think this is going to be one of those things that where you might not have many bites today guys, but if we do, it's going to be a freaking tank. We got to be patient, just put our heads down, cover a lot of water, try to throw this one bait in the right spot. And I really think we'll have an opportunity to catch a freaking tank today. So let's get after it. Let's see what we can do. Hopefully hook a double digit. I totally forgot what the bite feels like on this. This bait is huge. I want to walk down here on this other side. So I came out here with like a glide bait and I had a freaking six, seven pound to eat it right there. I was fighting him for a second. Came off. He's right under that pipe. Just imagine. You hog? How far out? You want me to get it? I can send it in there. Yeah, just deep there. That's your only ass waiver, ain't it? Oh, you got it, didn't you? Nice. I don't know what that was. Something could have tapped the tail. That was weird, actually. I think it's just right place, right time. I'll let it sink a little bit more. Let's see. Oh, oh my God, dude. First time I let it drop, like hammered me, bro. Oh my goodness, dude. That's, that just spooked me at him. I'm out of mag drop fight in a minute. That was crazy. Yeah. Wow. That was the first time I let it sink. Maybe that's why we're, we're too high in the water column. Dude, holy cow. I don't know how deep it is out there. Well, there we go guys. We've been fishing for a solid probably 30 minutes and didn't have any bites and I let this mag draft sink to the bottom way out there and the first cast I got slapped. It's about right there. I'm gonna let it sink. Maybe we'll eat it. It could have been a small one just eating the tail. You know what I think? It's like you're dropping a bowling ball on the water. I gotta just make sure they're buying. I don't know the last few times I've been out here, Adam, it has been tough. I'm not gonna lie, but I do think a trap and a spinnerbait would catch them today. The clouds today with that spinnerbait, a little bit of wind. That was awesome. Gosh, he's fighting so hard. I can't tell how big he is. I think like two and a half to three. Well guys, I tied on the spinnerbait. I always wanted to see if these fish are going to actually eat something today, just so to give us a little confidence. Ah, high two pounder. Dude, that bite was so cool, Adam. Like a two and three quarters, right? First fish today, not on a swimbait, but I had to grab something else just to... Oh no, we threw the swimbaits for a while, guys, without a bite. I was like, you know what? I want to make sure that fish are even going to eat because the fishing has been so tough the last few days. And sure enough, he slammed that spinnerbait. It took me like probably six casts in the same spot though, which is crazy. Let's see if this fish weighs. I think it's going to be like two seven. Dang dude, he has 49 pounds. What is wrong with that on scale? Hold on. I said two seven, he's a two six eight. Dang, that was close. Yeah, almost a two and three quarter pounder. Here we go, a two six eight. Start the day, not on a swimbait, but hey, we got somewhere, we got the monkey off our back. Thank you, bud. I will say that was such a cool bite. That was intense, man. I have my adrenaline pumping. We got the MagDracon, but I think I'm going to rig something up on this kicking combo. I did just catch that fish on the spinnerbait, but you know, that's not the bait. That's not the topic of today's video. So we're not going to do that unless we're just desperate. I think I'm going to tie on this bullshad. We get a little bit of wind and this is a bait that I can work a little more aggressive and I think it could trigger a reaction bite with these bass. All right, let's check our drag. It's actually perfect. Oh yeah, I could beam this sucker too. So this bullshad I can kind of burn and what I found out with that spinnerbait, that's what I was really trying to figure out when I threw that, was will the, do these fish need something to react to? Do they need something with vibration for them to actually bite today? You know, I believe if I was throwing a worm or a jig, we might not even get a bite, but something with some vibration and something that's moving fast, I think these bass are going to turn on if it goes past their face and they want it bad enough. Oh yeah, first swim bait fish. I think it's a tank guys. Oh my god, I can't move them. Oh gosh. Yo, Adam. Adam. Oh yeah, that's a good one. I haven't hooked weird or something. Oh, look at that thing. Oh yeah, it's not a tank, but it's a nice one. Oh yeah, guys. First swim bait fish of the day on the bullshad. Yes. Let's go. That's a three pounder. Oh man, not a big one, but that's a freaking good one right there. I bet you he is a 288. We might be a 29. We're going to show this thing to eight up. Let's go. We weren't even throwing the bullshad that long. Well, there we go guys. First swim bait fish of the video. Not a giant, but this is a solid almost three pounder. You want to take a guess, Adam? Yeah, it's probably like right at three pounds, really close. I think he's, I think he might be like a 290. He's, he's, he's up there. If he's not 290, he's probably like 280. It feels a little bit fatter. He's really long though. It's a really long fish. I'm going to say a 288. 29, 288. I swear. Look, that's the second time. 288. You guys get right on the money. So earlier I set a 27. It was a, it was a 268. Everybody messing with my weight skills, bro. What? Yeah, he knows. We know this. It's not a bad one though. He's not a giant, but that's a good fish, man. And I was only throwing the bullshad for probably 10 minutes, guys. And we got our first fish. So I'm going to get a release on her. I think we're going to move to this pond, me and Adam, and we're going to start making a lot of casts. I think they're going to fire up. Well, guys, first fish on a swim bait today happened to be on the bullshad. I want to throw this around in this pond for a little bit, and then we're definitely going to go back to that mag graph bite. Oh, I got one chasing me. He's tailing behind me. What? That was crazy, guys. I literally saw him waking behind me. Never ate it. It's definitely the grass. Just kidding. Could have been. He was tailing up behind that thing. Lee, I can do this, man. Are you kidding me? I hooked the one rope in the whole lake. You've got to be kidding me. Adam, I got a problem. I got a problem. Bro, I cast it like so slightly too, and it just happened to give it. Thank you. Do you get any bites? I was going for that one bite, man. Oh, man. They should be roaming right now, but I still don't think they are. No, Adam. No, I'm hung up. No, no. I can't get in this water, bro. It's too cold. Yeah, I must have to do it, dude. Hopefully it don't break. It's a thick line. There goes the big old Megalodon bait, guys. All right, well, we're going to give it a little break and just get us on a regular bait and see if we can just catch some fish, guys. This is really tough today. I even think with regular baits, it's going to be freaking hard on us today. So I'm going to tie on this two-tap by striking. If you guys want to get the discount on any of the striking lures, I have the link in discount code down below. This color right here has some purple and blue on top, pretty glossy, and then it has like a tan upper body and a white lower body. Got a little bit of orange on the tip of it, but that's a good solid natural color. My God. You talk about a dang cast. Holy cow. Shoot. How did I not hook that fish? It was actually crazy. This has been the worst week of fishing I've fished over a year and of course it's the week and the Adam came into town, but what can we do, man? We just make the best of it, put our heads down and grind it out. That's what we've been doing. Guys, that's a big one. That's a big one. Yo, Adam. I got a big one. Yeah, that's a big one, guys. Oh my gosh. I can't even move. Oh my God. Adam, I got a huge one. Noah's got a big one. He is far away too. I'm running. I'm running. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Guys, it's a big one. It's a big one. There we go, baby. Oh my gosh, it's a tank. Oh my gosh. Dude, how am I supposed to grab him? You got a baby? Dude, that's a tank. Look at the belly on him. Oh my gosh. Look how fat he is. Dude, that's like a seven pounder. He's got to be because he's so fat. I don't know, bro. He might be sick. We'll put him on the scale. We'll put him on the scale. Oh my gosh. Look how fat he is. It's so hard to judge when they're like that. That's like a meatball. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Wow. On that striking try, bro. Film on a swim bait video. We had to put the swim bait down and ended up hooking this meatball, bro. That's a freaking nature. He was big, bro. I couldn't even move him, Adam. That is a tank. That's one of the fattest fish. That's probably the fattest bass I've caught this year. Maybe the biggest one I've caught this year, too. I've caught any giants this year. I don't think so. I don't know. I think that's the biggest fish I've caught. Birkin tank, zeroed out right there. What do you think, Adam? I said seven. You think seven? I think he's over six, but I don't think he's all the way at seven. I would say he's not even six, but his belly's so dang fat. When they get fat like that, they put on a lot of weight. Yeah. All right. That scared me for a second. Six point five four. Yep. I knew it was over six. That's a tank, bro. Because they're so fat. Six point five six. There we go, guys. We got our first tank of the day. Six point five six, Adam. Yep. Six point five four. Six fifty six. Fat belly on that bass. Yeah. We didn't get him on a swim bait. We had to adjust, but I'm just happy to get this giant, man. I would have rather not thrown that swim bait and caught this guy than not throw that thing at all. So that striking trap got it done. We're going to get this fat girl in the water. That's actually my biggest fish this year in 2022 so far, which is a six point five six. All right. That is a meat ball, brother. That's a big one. There she goes. Yo, that's what it's about, Adam. You got a little bass fishing, guys. You need to be getting in the outdoors, even in the cold weather. I know a lot of you guys are, it's super cold, but man, that was good. That was some good stuff. Now it's your turn, Adam. I want you to get a seven. You got to break the seven mark. Yep. I think it's possible. So we're going to keep on hustling, guys. And I see if we can get some more big ones on the bank. We all, heck yeah, we got the big one. We stayed positive. I think that's so important when fishing. I'm sorry, guys, that it's not on the swim bait. I know it's like not what we were doing today, but then again, I don't think you guys are going to complain seeing the six and a half, seven pounder be caught. So we're going to keep on fishing. I threw right down this bank parallel. I was actually my first cast down this bank and he hammered it. Let's see if there's another one here. I think they're about to start feeding like crazy. Ready to get another big one. No, no, no, no. That was a five pounder, bro. I just saw them. You know, I finished for like another, what, 45 minutes and just call it. That was a take. That was a take. That was a take. I didn't hook them. I might be able to catch this fish. Guys, I was a freaking moose. Usually they'll come back and hit it, but it's just so tough right now. Oh, it hurts me. Oh, it's going to hot me. I got one. He just broke me off. Are you serious? I think I was through my bait off. Did I not? That fish just broke me off. Dude. What in the... Well, guys, we had a tough day today, but let me tell you, we both ended up catching a big one. I got that six, five, six. Adam also caught a really big fish today and we just had a good time. I mean, it was fun. It was brutal though. I'm not going to lie. I was upset about breaking off that mag draft. I really wanted to catch an eight to 10 pounder on it today. I believe it possibly could have happened, but then again, the conditions were so tough. I mean, we fished out here for a little, I believe a little over six hours today and didn't catch that many fish. I mean, it was a grind, but this whole week has been a grind. The last couple of days me and Adam have been out on the water and it's been like this every single day, but we still pull it through and we stay positive and we end up catching some fish.
