 Well good morning y'all welcome home back to the channel a beautiful Peaceful morning in the woods. It just got done blowing about 30 miles an hour. I Feel like somebody wobbled with me with a rolled-up carpet. I did not sleep good Let me show you all the sleeping arrangements. Not bad Just I'm telling y'all the wind was blowing 30 40 miles an hour last night I thought a tree was gonna come down on silver bullet. Oh, yeah, that's where the magic happened last night. I Did have I had a tempopedic pillow had a little fleece blanket Down as a base, then I had a little quilt on top and it it was pretty warm until about 3 in the morning and it just so happens my bedroom is my kitchen and And I am not in a hurry to get out on the water this morning I'm gonna I'm gonna let this the waves calm down on just a hot second. I stayed up late last night And I rigged up tackle. So today We are going to wind and grind Boom, baby. I got multiple jerk baits got multiple swim baits. Look over here on this side That's just I mean what is going on there? I'm excited to throw those things Cedar allergies got me last night too. So a little trouble breathing But we're gonna fix that with a little hot liquid and I brought a little taste to home y'all I'm talking eggs From the Rackley Rouge. Look how beautiful those beautiful pastel balls of protein Just awesome. You've got an avocado and an apple in there. Look at me brought my own fruit basket Time for some mushroom tea It's almost ash Wednesday. That means It's time for me to give up give up coffee. I'm gonna go ahead and start now It's tough measure your case hobo spoon full of shrooms half a spoon full that chai wop am Get some local honey. That'll be just right Midge of spg Here's those bass boats running The game changer is going to be we take a little bit of our leftover three cheese sausage from last night Throw that in there get that cheese melted Now we're talking All right, y'all just burning the rest of the gas out of the lines. We're going to get our first sip of our tea here cheesy sausage With three over easy eggs from the backyard Yes, sir. It's protein to fish all day mmm If I only had one oh sg's homemade biscuits, I have no cell phone service out here literally zero It says sos so I have no way to get weather updates So we're gonna eat a big hearty meal And we're just gonna go get after it Take whatever the day gives us Regardless of catching fish. This is a dang good way to start the morning y'all weather report crumb bumbler 100% I don't know about you though. I've seen a lot of big bass pictures wearing rain jackets before So it's not gonna stop me If it's just kind of this misty stuff You can still film in it. Okay can't film exactly how I want to but You guys stick around I think we're gonna catch some good fish today Silver bullet Silver bullet awaits Raptors are keeping it locked Thank goodness. All right, I gotta figure out how to Put all this stuff away. So we're not gonna get things wet. Looks like it does drop a little bit There's some tons of bait. I saw a couple of We're gonna throw this funky biscuit right here, man. I rigged up a three-eighths object for the real shallow stuff 100% gonna put that lipless back in our hand too that That one yesterday choked it like it did. I mean you can't Can't not pick that up It's funny with a lipless, you know, like a half ounce You can burn that thing, you know, they'll crush it And I'm always I'm always stopping that thing to give them a chance to eat it but With these vibe jigs Just before that water gets you know into the 60s I like to reel it slow 58 too The water's warmed up overnight just from We had warm rain and I mean I was hot going to sleep just seeing and seeing most most of the activity off the grass line Not up in it Fisher being a little stubborn what we're gonna we're gonna figure it out What bass doesn't love a good thunderstorm But you're just dropped about 10 degrees right there That's that like button for a little Little confidence boost so I can keep going That's why we do it right there a little isn't it? That's why we do it Starting the day off at hose one start off the day had to get the confidence lure out y'all it feels like I just Took all of my gear And threw it in the lake. That's how much it just rains I don't know if you can see across there, but well you can't you can't see across the lake gully washer Little back up a little bit I'm gonna go down that same bank. I'll back up a little bit throw a dirt bait now that my reels are well lubed Sometimes I advise the plier move Those little ones like that. They'll get you went down in size both my fish. I caught on dirt bases I'm pretty strong, but they do catch big ones a nice little calm drizzle on the lake now Front came through It is now cold Crocs are definitely wet But we got two bites. We're just getting started another little guy on the dirt bait Got the old scout down the hatch just pulled up to a Just a little lead in bank that I never fished yesterday Not much grass on it. So just picked up the jerk bait Trying to stay in that four to eight foot Switched up colors from yesterday. I was someone's sexy shad And it would actually be a better color for today but this is kind of Perlescent bottom that I really like it's got a green back I always like fishing those green backs around grass. I don't know something about it It's almost like it's trying to disguise itself and Fish don't like it. They're like don't hide from me I want to eat you good news. We don't have to 30 mile an hour winds right now pumped another little one Wack that's tar off of it though that healthy fish Barely hooked. Are you gonna make it? Are you gonna make it? Yeah Look at that beautiful fish Ah chunk man, these fish are so healthy out here So healthy fish almost looks like it got tagged right there, but I think that's just a legion Fat and healthy fat and healthy fairfield fish Sorry to see him go On this setup y'all with my jerk bait setup. I'm of course throwing it on the twitch rod Which this is a six eight Actually, it's six nine my bad Six nine is perfect for working with the rod tip down down and I'm throwing it on 12 pound fluoro But I'll give you guys a tip for fishing jerk baits You know the cadence is I just keep it random but the the most important thing is When you jerk that rod tip down and that's why we use a shorter rod so you're not slapping the water You have a lot of control over it, but it's important to let that rod tip go back up So when you jerk down go right back up And that allows that jerk bait to do that slashing motion and then also You're not going to be pulling it So if I just like pulled it like that That's a completely different action Not saying you can't catch fish like that, but the way a jerk bait is supposed to work You rebound give that slack and it'll Go left and right and it'll just spin there Instead of kind of dragging along And your line is also going to determine how that that bait sits in the water. So You know a heavier fluorocarbon that sinks more Will kind of make it go more nose down if you fish mono. It'll be more nose up 10 to 12 pound fluorocarbon is a really good combination Look at these floaters What are the floaters? Let's let's cast down See what they do The dirt bait is going to go right down In the perfect depth where they are. Maybe a little below them See it coming. I'm going to lift it up a little bit. Look at my rod tip up Fishes eat it that fish ate it. Oh my god. It's a big bass Big floater ate the dirt bait Look like there's another one with it. So we got the little males up closer to the bank and then Females suspended doing their thing Waiting I finally got a floater too Scope floater It's not a giant but I think there was another one with it I couldn't tell I couldn't tell what they got a little crazy there On the scope look like you're gonna hook me Know how many bass I've ever landed in the top lip. That's one of them And that fish has something down its throat. We need to find out what that is There's a big nasty one. Oh Big female floaters got any eggs popping out? Nope Just hanging Dirt baits just killer for going out. Just hangs there All right y'all heck of a fish. Let's get it back in the water That was fun See darling What was really cool about that is the rain had just calmed down to a drizzle and it was like You know just had that relaxing feeling and then Wa-bam saw her on scope though Said I wasn't gonna do that, but if I see another big juicy We're gonna throw at it with with the scout, you know, it just depends depends on what you want You never know We're gonna I'm gonna stick with my Arsenal of shallow grass baits Especially this lovely Little guy right here. I'm This is the only one I have unfortunately I better not lose. It's the only color Only one of that color that I have That color has been good. They've been eating it eating it well. So it almost looked like that fish Fish that I caught had a crawfish Like pinchers kind of stuff in its mouth. I'm not quite sure but Ah Feels good y'all Feels good to whack a juicy one There's one sitting on this Little tree right there Just hanging. No, it's not the only one. There's other fish I am casting to fish That one needs to eat my jerk bait. It's following it. I'm gonna follow it She's right by the boat. She's not gonna eat it. She's sitting right under it. She's not gonna eat it I'm seeing enough activity right here A little bit of grass Take a grass To pick up the lipless So nice you just You just pick that thing up and Absolutely zip it out there Cover about a hundred yards and one cast She had one almost to eat it under the boat and watched them All right, that depth is good Oh my gosh, that's a crappie Oh Buddy that is a large one. I just discovered There's mega crops in here that could be a game changer for me. Look at that That is pretty we are seeing The sun come out. That is nice And it's getting kind of calm I'm just working this grass flat where I was where I started at yesterday And I got a couple bites And I just whacked a monster croppy and I just got a absolute hammer hit by a bass There's just not much going on back here It's just a huge grass flat. There's not not much contour changes at all The most of the time when I'm fishing a lipless I get I get the bite on the paws And it's almost like a jig hit it's It'll smack it. It's like they're following it and it pauses for a second and then they just run into it Oh Oh that rod loaded up so nice Hurts my last two I've lost. It's not like they're just sitting in one spot Casting all around, you know, it's a good fish when you pull up You're like is that grass and then start filling those head shakes It'll be a good one Wrists is starting to cramp up from Crying them so hard. I'm doing most of the work for the reel. I'm not even pumping the rod So if you do this all day Then your side starts hurting Just missed one there hit it on the paws All hitting on that pause I Have tried throwing the vibe jig. It's just It's not as effective slower. I'm just not getting any bites on it There are some hogs in those reeds behind me. I'm not talking about bass Just had one choke it by the boat. I think it's down the hatch. Oh, yeah It's down the hatch Look at that. I don't know how that fish got it so good because I was literally about to reel my bait in All right, hang on a second One more jump. Yeah, I I couldn't tell you How this fish Grabbed this bait like it did Just sheer speed And that's pliers to get that thing out Let's you go get a little injury The fish's blood coagulates and water So the faster you get them back in there the faster they're going to heal First bit of blood on the silver bullet quick little suntan sash Just to knock that winter dust off the white meat here Oh my gosh, big one biggest one of the day and I'm sitting here goofing around with my Lizard shorts getting a tan just figured out a little something on the spot though You don't want to talk about jig bite like Stop and then God you're strong. Love it. I love to see it I really do Oh, just big old fat belly sound Man, I think this beats the big one on the jerk bait Just girth Mercy Why does this lake have to go Now bait is out Let's give it a sniff Farewell Beautiful Love to see it You're so good to me lots of jumps loved it and you stayed pinned While I was fumble muffin the camera Trying to get it to turn on Okay, we got the old bandito camera long sleeve back on And we are ready to go again The guys I I'm just gonna keep throwing this I I hate to do Basically two videos in a row where I'm catching them on the same thing But I pick up something else I fish it for a while. I don't get bit And I pick up this and I get bites and I'm getting big bites. That's the thing It's not like I'm just throwing this thing to get little ones Don't let anybody tell you you can't catch a big one on On a rattle trap or lipless crankbait. That's It's not true. I've Cut a lot of big fish on on lipless and it's It's always this time of year or I shouldn't say always in the fall Shad patterns get pretty good too, but This time of year red Flaming hot This color is working very good This is reactionary This type of fishing, you know, I'm making just tons of casts. I'm bringing it by a couple of fish Trying to run it into their face But I don't know I can't tell you like oh, yeah, I need to throw right at this one little spot. I'm just a general area that has more grass Is a little different than Oh my god, did you guys see that? I mean this the stop that's the deal Stopped it and it just got rocked Just happened to see one chasing on life scope. There he is You're either gonna eat it and be scared of it. God that one freaking smoked it. Oh, it's a big one too Oh, man, I mean it just stopped it stopped the rod Oh my god, it's a giant. It's my biggest fish. I've ever heard tugger Oh my god, don't you?

Thank you lord. Oh I don't even I guys I can't find my scale. I have scoured my boat I'm telling you if it ain't over 10 it is like Close very very close. The fish is yoked. It's fat. I'm gonna at least get a length measurement. I don't even have a Measuring board I'll measure it. I got it. I got a green series rod. That's what I'll do I will measure it on the rod that I caught it on bright sunny day no wind Lipless in the grass y'all I mean I was worried I was really worried on that fish because I saw how deep it was And I've had some fish on braid like that a real big one a big fish can cut through that braid But this is this is actually 40 pound I would say 30 pound and it is really good for Ripping through grass, but I just I just went with 40 pound Just because I had it had it spooled it up. Thank goodness. I did it's a little thicker Let me just show you all this fish look at this fish that is a That thing is a pig. Look how wide it is Oh my gosh I mean just the girth Look at the face. The mouth on it is it's huge I'm gonna lift this fish out once to show you guys that I'm gonna get a couple picks And we're gonna put it right back because this is this is a giant fish I want to make sure to take good care of her Oh God just look how fat that fish is Look at the belly on it Holy cow that is an absolute specimen y'all Oh girl, I love you. All right, y'all let's get a release on this girl Big girl You're free darling. You're free I love you Yes Alrighty friends, I'm gonna end today's video with that because there is no better way that I can end it With a giant like that a questionable 10 pounder you may say in the comments Here's what I would tell you I did measure the fish. It was 23 and a half inches long in my experience a 20 Around a 24 inch fish is usually like a 10 That's somewhere around a 10. It's it's like a nine High nine 10 when they get when they get 24 inches long. They're very big I am not going to call that a 10 pounder. I'm just going to call it a big fish That's what I know. I know it had a huge face a fat belly And it was a it was an awesome hit. I knew as soon as that fish hit it. I was like, that's a big one I don't know. They just boom stopped the bait and that's that's key. That's how I've gotten all the bites on the lipless Is stopping it. I know you guys watch me wind this thing forever in this video. So you saw how I was pausing it But just look look at the teeth marks on this thing. I love to see baits that just get torn up And they get all those teeth marks on there and it's just it's a beautiful thing I've still got one more day out here and it's 130 right now.
