I Fished Every Pond Until I Caught a MONSTER...

Today I'm going pond hopping, fishing as many ponds as it takes to find a monster. But to complete this challenge, I have three objectives. Objective number one is to catch [music] more than one species. Objective number two is to catch a fish in a pond I have [music] never been to before. And finally, objective number three, the goal that could possibly ruin everything is to catch a fish weighing over 5 lb. Some of these ponds could be [music] completely empty, but one of them might be holding a fish of a life. Good one. Oh. Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. There's another one. There's a bass right there. There's a good bass. Oh, monster. Oh my gosh. There he is. [music] Oh, it's a good one, too. And I actually had a little grass p. Oh gosh. We're going to be pond hopping for some monster fish today. And I am beyond excited for it. It has been a long time since we have just gone out to some ponds, pawn hopped, and tried to catch some big fish. We got us our kicking their bass TV ex loose combo here. If you guys want to check out any of the rods or anything I use in the videos, you can check them out on kickingthebass.com. They'll be linked down below. But the bait that we're going to be starting off with today is just an old Chatter Dunk. This is one of my confidence baits. And this is a bait I have caught so many big fish on. If there is one lure that I just have a ton of confidence in the world to throw anywhere to catch big fish, it has to be the old Chatter Donkey. And then I have a swimbait that I have never thrown before, and this is actually called the Chad Shad. Really sick looking swimbait. Just looks like a pretty big gizzard shad. Never thrown it before, but I have heard of some crazy stories about this bait and some big fish that people have caught. So later on in this video, we're going to whip this puppy out and give it a cast. But without further ado, let's start casting in the water. Before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed. So, if you could take the time, hit the subscribe button. Really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it. All right, Mr. Chatt Donkey, let's see what you do, boy. I'll tell you, one thing I don't get to do as often is throw a bait that I have a ton of confidence in. Feel like most of the time we're going out, we're throwing crazy things or doing some sort of challenge or just throwing a weird looking bait. Today, we're not doing that, man. We're throwing what we want to throw. We're going to throw baits that we think are going to get bit. So, something very interesting is about to happen in about 60 minutes. In the next hour, it is 98° outside right now. And let's just say in an hour's worth of time, so next hour, it is going to be 74°. The temperature is going to drop 24° in literally an hour. And I don't think I've ever seen that before. That's very interesting. And I'm curious to see how these fish respond. They could be turned up and start biting really good before that hits. Or they could shut down completely and hurt our feelings a little bit, but hopefully that's not the case. And hopefully it fires them up and they just start biting like crazy. All right. Absolutely love this spot right here. Just we need to be careful. There's a lot of rocks and big concrete blocks right along this bank. I don't know if you guys can see this. It's probably hard to tell with so many clouds in the sky, but there's a big boulder right there. And there is a lot lined up all the way down the edge [music] of this bank, but like the conditions are really good for this chatterbait. The only thing that would make it better is having a little bit of wind, but this cloud cover looks amazing. Oh my gosh, that was a mega right on the edge of that freaking boulder right there. Hold on, let's get back in there. I just saw him flash, dude. That fish looked like he was 3 to 4 lb. See if he'll bite it again. Right there. That's where I hopped over it. Jeez, man. Never had a fish just slap a chatterbait like that to where he just didn't get in his mouth. Oh my goodness. Y'all heard that rod whistle. What is going on? Hold on. It just started to rain a little bit right there. I don't know if you guys see the ripples on the water. That is two really good bites we just got here. Cannot believe we didn't. Dude, he bit me again. What is happening? There's fish here. [laughter] I didn't expect to get this many bites in the whole dang pond. We already have three right here. All right, guys. I'm going to throw a couple more right here and then we're going to tie on the Quaky. Dang, man. Three bites we missed right there. That's insane. All right. I'm sure we're going to put this chatter bait back on because I know we're going to slay some fish on it today. But just to switch up since we had three bites and didn't catch any. Let's switch up to the old black quaki. And usually I'm weird about throwing like a black bait like this, like all blacked out, especially bottom bait. But the one thing I will say with this cloud cover right now and how nasty it is outside, I feel like this thing is going to be the perfect color. If you guys are wondering how we have this rigged up, we have a nailed weight right in the middle there, as you guys can tell. And then we just have a little tiny treble hook that we have hooked through the bait. Pretty simple and basic. Nothing crazy. Tie this puppy on with an old uni uni knot. Do I hope we throw this thing in there and that big boy just slams it. We're about to figure out the corki is all hype or is it actually the real deal? Okay, without further ado, let's give her an old cast, man. That's all we can do right here. I'll tell you right now, the last thing we want to do is get this thing hung. If I had to assume these fish in this pond have never seen a corki before, unless a bunch of neighborhood kids have just been throwing the piss out of it. You guys are going to kill me on this one, but one thing I actually left, it is in the truck, okay? It's not gone. So, whatever next pond we go to, we're going to grab it. I did leave my scale in the truck, though. But it is here. So, the next pond we go to, we need to make sure we grab it. I got my hands full with a bunch of random things. So, but the scale has to come with us, especially since we're hunting some monster fish today. It's really starting to come down now. Okay, so the one thing I noticed is I have thrown this a lot. Haven't had any bites on it yet. I'm not going to totally count out the old qui, but I walked this whole bank and not a single bite. The ChatterBait was at least giving us bites. And if I had to have an explanation for it, it's because, man, we got the clouds, we got a little bit of rain, and I want to see these fish are roaming. No, my chest cam's okay, but I'm worried about this camera. Gosh, don't do this. All right, I'm not going to be done fishing. Let's go ahead and walk down there so I'm a little closer to the car just in case the bottom falls out cuz it is starting to piss, man. Look at the water. Woo! Living the dream, baby. Oh, we're just going to absolutely dust it. Okay, it was going to rain. I'm not going to lie. I talked to you guys. I'm like, "Hey, unless it's pissing, I'm not going to leave." I'm not even kidding. It started pissing 45 seconds later. I am a little soaked. I'm [music] a little drenched. But that is not stopping us today, boys. We're going to sit this out for a second. I'm going to look at the radar, kind of see what's going on, and then if it clears up very soon, I'd say we go back out to that spot. If not, I'd say we just keep on moving. Go to another spot where there's no rain. But I will catch you guys when [music] we at the next location. All righty. We're back. No rain. We got a scale. And temperature update. It is 76°. It has dropped 22° since I talked to you guys last. I sat in my car for about 30 minutes. By the way, the last stretch of run back to my truck, I got freaking dumped on. It was really bad. So hopefully this rain will hold off and we can get a good bit of fishing in here. Oh man, I hate that. So the one thing is I don't mind rain. I don't mind thunder, but once it starts lightning really bad, that's where I'm a little weird about it. I did see some lightning in the distance there, but let's uh let's just kind of keep an eye out, fish for a little bit here. See what we got going on. Hopefully this rain will hold off too until we get on to the next spot. And I think we're gonna get a little ballsy here. We're just gonna send it all the way down to the other side. Just hopefully it doesn't piss on us because we're gonna have a long distance back to the truck. But I feel like we just got to risk it. Haven't caught a fish yet. We got to keep our head down. Let's go ahead and get on to the far side of the pond. Let's see if we can produce a big bite. Oh, that's a good one. I think so. Oh gosh. I can't move this fish. What is going on? Is it a big one? Look at a splash. Is this our five pounder? Oh gosh. Oh gosh. Let's go, baby. Come on. What a fish to start off the video. Let's go, baby. I was about to leave this spot, man. Dude, that was the craziest thing. You see right there? I had him hooked in the top of the mouth and I also had him hooked in the bottom of the mouth. That's why it felt so weird. So, when I hooked that fish, it wasn't really fighting. [music] That is a good three pounder right there, boys. Look at that beautiful fish. That is a great one to start off today's video. He's not going to hit our 5 lb goal here, but that is a really good fish. And I still want to get a weight on him. I think he's uh that's a three [music] pounder. It's a three-pounder all day. Go ahead, clear our scale. Let's go, man. Hey, that's a [music] good fish to start today off. Oh yeah. Oh, you bigger than three. 3 3.55 baby. Old three and a half pounder to start off today's video. That is a great fish, man. Very blessed to catch that one on our first go. We had a couple other fish we lost when we first got here, but that is a really good sign that there's still some healthy fish living in here. Let's go ahead and throw him back. Try to catch us another fish. What a beautiful bass, guys. Just a blessing to be out here today. 355 to start off the video. Man, that's a good sign. Oh, please. There she goes. Peace out, Cub Scout. Let's go, baby. Come on. That's a good way to start. All right, I'm actually going to throw right back over there in that same spot. So, if you guys look, there's that one tree over on the far end, and it actually had a little grass p. Oh gosh. Did y'all see that? I might have been right out of the camera view. That was some scary lightning. That was a good bite. That's got me pumped up. No way. No way. Come on. Come back for it. That was in the same spot that we caught that fish. Oh. Oh, no way. He did slap me. He slapped me twice. There's another one. Oh, yeah. Dude, they're out there, man. This one's not as big as the last one. It's another fish. We're just going to ski him right on in here, man. Little tiny guy. Thank you, bud. Thank you, buddy, man. But that's all we needed to catch one fish just to start getting some bites, getting some fish on board. And pretty little fish. Not a big one by any means. Not going to help us out today, but still a beautiful fish. And it's just a blessing catching any size fish out here today, guys. Just love being in the outdoors. Connecting with nature like this is just a blessing. And still a fun fish to catch. Thank you, baby. See you swim off. There she goes. Let's go, man. That's two fish on board. It is time to keep it rolling, guys. That was a successful pond number one. Caught two fish. We got a 3.55. And that is a pound and a half short of our 5 lb goal as one of our challenges today. But that is not going to stop us. That is a great start. We just got to keep our confidence high and keep on rolling, baby. Spot Enumero dos. There's a lot of good fish in here. Haven't fished this place in a while. We're going to start [music] and stick to the old chatter donkey here for a little bit. This spot has a bunch of grass here at the top. So, I can only throw this in specific spots, but we're going to throw it around for a little bit. See what we get into. [music] And then if we have to, we're going to switch up to the old Quickie ball and see if we can avoid getting grass on that thing. And those were the only two baits I brought out of this spot. So hopefully um we'll be able to fish them through this grass [music] right here in the section that we're throwing in. There isn't too much grass. It's actually not bad. If you go down to the right here, it is literally caked on top. You can't even cast out there in the middle. [music] Yeah. I don't even know if this is going to be quite fishable, guys, with how grassy this is. At least with the baits that we have. If we uh brought some other baits out here, we could definitely fish them. I will say, minus all the grass, [music] look at how jin clear the water is. You guys can see right to the bottom there. It's actually beautiful. So, this is all the grass I'm talking about. So, you guys can see the edge there. Bunch of grass all the way down there is grass all the way out. And then here you actually have some open water. Very shallow up by our feet. But what you don't really see is right there. There's a lot of grass. And all through here is still [music] a lot of grass below the surface. It's not really like even throwing my bait right there. Right now, I'm over there pulling it through grass. Boys and girls, let's take a quick pause from the fish action to talk about how we can make some extra money on the side. Everyone says nothing is really free. So, let me break down how free cash makes money and how you actually get paid. It's pretty simple. The brands are paying you to play mobile games instead of paying for ads that you scroll straight past. Now, let me just throw something out there. Free cash is not an app that is going to replace your job or let's just say make you rich overnight. That is not what Free Cash is about. But if you're somebody who plays games on your phone, if you're relaxing at night, kind of laying in bed playing some games, why not play the games that are ran through the free cash app to actually earn real money? So, as you guys can tell, we just clicked on the Woku Blast. And there are a bunch of different ways that you can earn money on here. Based on my location, I can earn up to $1,000 from this app. After completing the milestones, you scroll down to the bottom. Beginner, play the game, and fill the bar. You can earn 9 cents with that. There's a bunch of different challenges and ways that you can earn money through this and work your way up through the ranks.

Big thanks to Free Cash for sponsoring today's video. Now, let's get back to the fish section. All right, I have a better idea. So, there's actually a pond right over there across from this one. So, let's go ahead and walk over there and give that one a shot. That one doesn't have as much grass. This one is out of commission for us right now. I'm not going to lie. If we came back with the top water or something, I actually feel like we could slay the fish. We just do not have the right tools for the job. Gosh, this place has a lot of slop, too. There's a more nasty slop on the bank. Looks like we might be able to cast right here a little better than the other spot. Oh, yeah. So much better. Makes me wonder if these two connect because I've never thought of that. Cuz I mean, this place is gen clear, too. Just a bunch of nasty slop. Oh my goodness. That was sick. Okay, I guess we don't need the top water, baby. Come on. It's not a big one, but look how he ate that. That was the first fish today that actually choked the bait. Wow. Barely had it. And look at the beautiful markings on that fish. That is the thing coming out the ponds that have this jin clear water [music] is these fish just tend to be a lot prettier. It's pretty wild. A lot of these fish I could only assume would be really dark, too, from being up in that grass. But this one's clearly hasn't been up in the grass and he's been out feeding. But a beautiful fish. First one here at technically pond number three, but let's just call it pond number two. Let's get her back in the water and keep on hunting these fish. Man, it's the best feeling in the world pulling up to a new spot and catching a fish that quick. That is so sick. Thank you, baby. Thank you, honey. We're moving, man. Had a little bit of real estate to work with having to get a bite right away. Gosh, that fish is lost, man. Went right down that bank. Let's uh keep on casting here and see if we can catch a bigger one. I know they live here because it's been it's been years, but we've caught a bunch of five and six pounders out of this pond. The more that I fish over the years, you know, I've been fishing my whole life. The more that I realize it's not really about the bait that you're throwing. Yes, it is on specific days based on conditions and what the fish want. But I just feel like throwing something that you have confidence in is the most powerful thing out of anything. We can sit here, we can talk about colors, we can talk about conditions, we can talk about sun, clouds, wind, shade. You can talk about whatever you want. I feel like throwing something that you have confidence in is more important than any of those conditions or stats that you want to go by. And I'll tell you, it's been a very long time since I've got to throw a chatterbait. And it's one of my favorite baits. And man, does it feel good just to go hit these spots. There's a big Oh, there's a Oh my gosh. What is going on, dude? That was a big one. That one was uh possibly pushing the four number. If not, he was a high three. Either way, he was the biggest fish we had today. And uh our biggest one so far is a 355 if that tells you anything. That was a pretty solid fish. Dang, dude. He was fat. Hammered it. One thing I will say, this chatterbait I'm throwing is a little heavy for what I'm doing, especially in the shallow water. Super super grassy. All I will say is that there is a lot of fish in this pond right now biting. Okay, I think it's about that time, man. As much as I would love to continue fishing this pond and just keep throwing in there and even tie on another bait and continue fishing it, I just feel like we need to pick up and keep on going. These fish are biting really good. I doubt it's only this pond. So, let's just keep our head high, keep [music] pumping, go to the next spot, and hopefully reach all our goals. Let's get it, baby. Come on. So, [music] we are back at the swamp pond. It has been a very long time since we have been in this particular spot. We caught a few seven pounders in here. It's a natural place fed by natural water. And that is why this pond is a great choice for fishing today. We had all that rain earlier today. And what happens is there's actually a creek behind this. It's pretty much a swamp. And when it rains, it typically floods. And when it floods, it [music] actually pours water in behind this tree right here. So I would say about right there and on this side right here, there's natural [music] water that pours down from that swamp into this pond. And that is exactly why we call it the [music] swamp pond. We've been absolutely killing it on the old chatterbait today so far. And that is really about all we've thrown. I know we threw the koi for a little bit, but it is time to finally get spiky with it, baby, with the qui and try to throw it in the old swamp. And there's a bunch of nasty old critters besides bass in here. There's a bunch of mud fish. So hopefully a mudfish does not bite this thing and steal it completely. So without further ado, let's go ahead and cast the corki in the water and hopefully land a monster. I can tell you one thing. I do not know if anybody's ever thrown one of these urchin baits in this pond. It's probably the first time these fish have ever seen an urchin bait. I don't think many people fish out here. And it can be a killer spot. It can either break your heart or it can make your make your dang year, dude. I could totally see a mud fish like freaking out on this urgent, too. So, I mean, I don't mind catching a mud fish on this thing. I just hope it doesn't break it off or mess it up. That's the only thing I ask. I don't know if you guys see there's a huge boil right there. Let's see if we can get in on this action. Telling you guys, it is so important to pay attention to your surroundings like that. And hopefully it'll pay off right here and uh tell you guys why. Let me see a dang 8 pounder. Bro, I would lose my marbles right now. I would totally believe in the quake. By the way, if I caught an 8 pounder right now, I would be solely convinced. I might just be like every other person on the internet right now and buy every single one I see. Crazy boils everywhere, but no bites. What is going on, man? I thought the old swamp would be a perfect place to throw this bait, but maybe I was wrong. Oh, dude, there was a huge mud fish right there. Dude, if I would have walked up on that and I just threw that up in there, I bet we would have caught him. That was a big mud. Dang. I know that's not what we're targeting, but that would have been pretty cool. I knew that spot just looked perfect. I mean, you have all this grass and that's like the one opening that you have. One of our objectives today is to catch a fish at a pond that we have never been to before. Well, this pond behind me I have never been to before, but I've been wanting to fish it for a bunch of years. I've heard rumors of some really big fish hiding out in these waters. I've just never taken the time to come out here and try it. So, this is what we're about to do. We're going to throw our old chatter donkey and cover a bunch of water. I feel like this is just a good bait to cover water and catch a big fish. So, we're going to stick to this like we have been through the beginning of the video here in a little bit. If we can tell that there's fish in here and they're willing to bite, I actually would like to try the old Magdraft. This is one of my favorite swim baits of all time. And I feel like this would be a cool swimbait to throw. Obviously, we're still going to be throwing that big bullshad later on in the video. But, I thought, why not try the Magdraft here if there's fish? Without further ado, let's go ahead and get this Chatter Donkey, start casting this water, and uh see if there's some big fish in here. I'm actually glad that we're starting off with this because I can just sling this thing super far. I believe this pond has some pretty deep water. We're actually about to find that out. I just cast it out there. Let's see. Oh, yeah. This pond's got some depth. Wow. It's got some pretty good depth, guys. I had a feeling this pond was pretty deep. If you guys look along this bank, you see how steep the bank is? That's usually a telling sign. Even up here, it drops off pretty quick. And the water is pretty jin clear, guys. I mean, the water is very clear in here. But yeah, we're just going to sit here, fan cast around, kind of get a feel for this pond, see if we can get any activity at all. This pond's got some serious depth to it. Uh-oh, there's a bluegill right there. Well, that's the first sign of life in the water. That's always good to see. All right, I think we're going to keep on walking down. One of my favorite things to do is just going to new spots, trying new bodies of water that I've just never been to before. The only downside is most of the time it might not go as planned. But I don't think that's the case today. I think we're going to actually hook into a good one here. So, this is a little strip that actually comes off of that big body of water we were just fishing. I don't think this is going to be nearly even close to as deep as that is. But this water is super dirty, which makes me wonder if this is even [music] connected to that. Maybe that dirty water will help with this chatter bait here. Put off that vibration. There he is. There he is. Little tiny squirt. That'll get that'll get us started at this spot. Let's go, baby. And that is objective number one or one of the objectives knocked off a list is to catch a fish in a pond I've never been to. I have never fished this right here either. So that is going to count. Even though it is not the biggest fish in the world, but that is a fish at a body of water we have never been to before. But since we got a bite, we can't leave right now. Let's make some more casts and see if there's some bigger ones. Not a big bass by any means, but guess what? That is our new pond fish. And we moving on. So, we finally pulled out the old Chad Chad. I have never fished with the Chad Chad before, but I'm going to be honest with you guys. This is probably one of the best looking glide baits I have ever tied on. The pond that we're at right now, I've caught a bunch of big bass in the past. It's been years since we've been here. This is another old spot, but I'm going to throw this big old bad boy and see if we can catch a big one on it. I do have this paired up on my 73 heavy. Um, I did keep my Chatter Donkey on, my medium heavy here. So, we're still gonna be throwing this, but I did bring this puppy out. So, we got two rods with us. Let's start casting and see what we can get into. Part of me just wants to start with the Chatter Don, but why not start with the old big bad boy, man? I mean, this thing just looks looks so good. The thing with this bait is this isn't something they're seeing every day, if ever. I mean, they've probably never seen this bait before. So, hopefully there's a big old 8 pounder right up on this tree. [laughter] that uh we can get attention here. There's some really good fish in this pond and I feel like if one sees this bait and it sees an opportunity, it's probably going to eat it. So, there's actually a shopping cart in the water right here. And this is where I caught a really big one the last time I was out here. A big little dust cloud right there. That makes me wonder if that was a fish. I don't know if it was a turtle or a fish or what it was. Might as well give the chatter donkey a shot. Something a little smaller, easy to eat, less intimidating. Boys and girls, it is day two. Yesterday was a tough one. I'm not going to lie. By the end of the day, I was convinced that there was no fish in the ponds that we were fishing. But today is a new day. Beautiful weather. We got our big old swimbait on. I still want to try to catch one on this thing and we got our worm on the old Texas rig. I think slowing down is going to be the smart option for today. But without further ado, let's go ahead and start fishing. So, the spot that I'm at today is actually a spot I've caught really good fish at in the past, but I haven't gone here in a very long time. Last time I came out, I did catch a three and I caught one fish, but it was 3 and 12 lbs. So, hopefully we can get into something today. There's this little pipe right here putting out some fresh water right in here. So, I can only assume that this is a good spot for some fish to set up. Not only do we have some natural water pouring in here, I have no idea what this is. I don't know if it's like a big rock or what, but there's multiple of them down this bank. And even down there, there's some more. And there's some like pipes or rock right there as well. I have no idea what that is. All I got to say is there's got to be some big fish around some of this. There's actually a lot of bait right there. Right when I was popping it, there's a bunch of bluegills. Smaller ones swimming around that. Got to have a different mindset today, guys. Yesterday was rough on me. Started to get a little mad with how bad it was. There's a bass right there. There's a good bass. Oh my gosh. He's right up on the grass, guys. He's big. Wait, that's a carp. Is that a carp? Yeah, that's a carp. Oh my gosh. [laughter] I'm like, that's a 10 pounder, dude. I'm not even kidding. I don't know if you guys see him. He just swam out there. I saw his tail sticking out from that and it looked like a little bass tail, man. It's crazy. I don't know if you guys see him in the water there. Might be hard to tell. I mean, he's at least 25 lbs. Oh my god, there's another one. What is going on, dude? Look at that one. That one's got a hunchback, guys. Hold on. Look. You guys see that right there? Look at him right there. He's actually got like some sort of hunchback action going on. Man, we might need to go to the store and grab something [music] to catch those things. Grab some bread. That's one way to catch our uh fish over 5 lbs today. There's another one right there. Oh my gosh, dude. Today might be the day for some carp fishing, bro. Bro, there's another one up in the grass there. This is actually unreal. We're coming after some big bass, not some big carp. [laughter] Look at these big pipes in the water. Got to hold a fish. I will say the amount of healthy wildlife I'm seeing in here is refreshing. Bunch of carp, a bunch of turtles, a bunch of bait, fish, some ducks, and birds all up along the bank. There's actually [music] activity today, unlike yesterday. There's another freaking massive carp. That's the biggest one I've seen. That one might be pushing 40. I'm not going to lie. Oh, look at that big old beast, dude. So aggravating to me. Makes me want to just go leave here right now and get some stuff to catch him. So, this is actually where I caught the old three and a half pounder the last time we were here. We'll roll that clip. Oh, there we go. That's a good one. I knew it, dude. I had a weird feeling that is an absolute brute. Oh my gosh, look at how fat this fish is. Let's go, baby. Come on [laughter] now, son. But yeah, that was a really good fish. That was the only one I caught that day out here. Even though I didn't stay too long, I caught him right on this spot. I don't know if that's another big carp or a bass down there, but I'm going fling it. That's another carp. Oh, yeah. Wait, there's a bass up there. It's actually a decent one. Hold on. We should be able to catch Oh, you I spooked him. I spooked him. How did I spook him? Is that another carp or is that a big bass? Dude, there's fish down this bank right here. Could be a bass. With all the activity we're seeing, I'm feeling really good about this. Just got to give it a little bit of time. Stay confident. Keep making some good cast. It's going to happen here. So, we walked all the way on the other side, guys. And I don't know if you can see, there's a bunch of bait over here. Haven't really seen any bass blow up or chase any, but there is a lot of bait over here, which is always a good sign. And there's also a dock over here, and that's why I wanted to come over cuz I was like, it is so hot today. I can only imagine there's some fish under that dock in that shade. Oh my gosh, there's a bass right there, guys. It's a good one, too. No way these fish in here are this smart, right? What? He's right up on that pole. So crazy. Why are the bass being so rough? I saw that fish right up there. Had a perfect flip, didn't spook them or anything. Saw them go down on the bait, you just never touched it. Got to keep our eyes peeled. I feel like we're going to have an opportunity like that again. That's twice in a row that that's happened though where we've seen a fish thrown over there. They don't care at all. Oh my god, they just school up on that bank. Hold on. That looks like a bass. Dude, that doesn't look like a carp. Hold on. Yeah, that's a bass for sure. Please go over to my bait. Dude, we are seeing fish roam these banks, man. What's going on, man? That's three bass that we've seen. I'm just glad that we're actually seeing fish. That's such a relief to me. Honestly, I'm convinced they don't want this worm if they're not going to bite it at all. Good one. Oh my gosh. Well, I guess he wants the [music] worm. Woo! Let's go, baby. That's a good fish. Not a giant by any means, but that is a healthy bass. I'm telling you, man. The bass in these waters out here are just super pretty and overly healthy. Man, look how beautiful that fish is. That is close to a three pounder right there. Super fat and healthy. Man, I'll tell you, I had a feeling to come over to this dock. I was like, you know what? It's a hot summer day. Fish are going to want to be up in that shade. And sure enough, this close to three pounder was up there. He actually had a boil feeding on some bait fish and skipped right up under there and he smoked it. Guys, almost broke him off, man. He grabbed it and went to the right around that pillar. And when I hooked it, I [music] could feel it scraping that concrete. It worried me a little bit, but that is a great fish to start off here, guys. That's a great one. Thank you, baby. That is awesome, man. Let's go. I'm going to be real. I do not feel [music] like that's the last one in there. I feel like there's some more fish around this. I will say that did fray my line ever so slightly. Hopefully me being lazy right now is not going to cause a heartbreak. No. That is not what we want. Why is this so stuck? If I break my rod, I break it. Dude, like how in the world does that happen? Well, we did break it off. Okay, I'm going to set this to a side real quick. Maybe we grab that big swimbait and walk on down the bank a little more. So, one thing I'm actively doing when we're moving from spot to spot or just walking around this place. I am actively looking at the bank. I don't know if you guys see that there, but there's a bunch of bluegill right there. That's a good telltale sign to me. Like this whole bank in general could be a bunch of bass rolling. Two out of three of those fish that we saw, I mean, we actually saw the fish. It wasn't like we were throwing out there getting bites. We targeted them with our eyes and then we executed. I think out of all the times I've came here, I have never fished this corner. So, let's give it a shot. So, with as much activity as we're seeing today, I think I'm actually going to tie on our old chatter donkey. I know yesterday they were not eating this thing too well towards the end of the day, but one thing I will say with all the activity we see in this place with all these bass roaming, chasing some bluegill on the bank, I feel like this is probably our best thing we can throw even over the worm. Oh, no, no, no. You got to you got to eat it, man. Don't do what we did yesterday. Please don't do that. That one hammered it right there, guys. Literally, what was happening to us last night? What in the world? Oh, dude, what is going on? That was a crazy thump. And then all of a sudden, I couldn't move it. Oh, monster. Oh my gosh. Oh, it's a catfish. It's a [laughter] catfish. No way. Oh my god. I'm pretty sure it's a cat. Yeah, it's a catfish. Oh my gosh. I got a catfish on a chatterbait. He was absolutely hammering me. That's biting better than a dang bass, guys. Holy cow. I didn't even know there was catfish in here. Let's go, baby. Come on. I couldn't tell you the last time I caught a catfish on like an artificial lure. Beautiful catfish, guys. Look at that thing. That is awesome. Instead of even messing with you, buddy. I'm just going to pop this thing right out. Pop this thing right out, Sunny. Look at that, though. Little fat boy. Okay, that did not work at all. That just got us all messy, buddy. I mean, he got it good, guys. Look at that. That's what I'm talking about. Old kitty cat on the old chatterbait, man. Crazy. Not a big one by any means, but he hammered it. I thought it felt so weird before. There might be more there. Look at him talking to me. What are you saying? What are you saying? Thank you, baby. Let you go. Let's get it, man. That's so cool. Now, I know that's not the 5 pounder we're looking for, nor is that even a bass, but that is just so cool, man. That is fun. That was a cool experience. I want to throw back in there cuz there might [music] be more. I doubt that guy is the one who bit me twice, right? He could have been. Wouldn't that be something? I mean, if catfish are going to eat it like a dang bass, I wouldn't mind catching. I mean, that ain't the first time I've had that happen. I actually caught the biggest catfish I've caught. Like, the biggest one I've caught last was actually on a chatter don. Dude, there's a deer. This deer just walked out from the island over there. Look, do you see him? Little Bambi. Little Bambi. Started running when I started calling his name. That thing just swam all the way across the pond out over there. He's just living in this dang forest right there. It's the craziest thing I've seen, bro. Just happen to see him getting out of the water over there. Gosh, that wildlife is out today. Woo! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That was so cool. That bass went over the top of that rock to eat this bluegill. Gosh, what did I just do? Fumbling. I'm fumbling the bag. I'm super happy with how that first spot went. You know, we ended up catching a catfish and we caught a bass and we caught a catfish on a chatter dunk, which was really cool. I'm at a spot right now that I have been dying to come to for a very long time. I don't want to go very in-depth on this spot because I'm actually going to make a sole video out here. Um, but let's just say there's a couple reasons I want to be here. One of the reasons is because I have seen some pictures of some hogs [laughter] being cut out of here. Um, and another reason I'm not even going to go into. We'll we'll talk about it when the video comes, guys. But just stay tuned for this place to be featured in another video hopefully here soon. And hopefully we hook a freaking monster because the pictures I have seen of fish being pulled out of here are actually ridiculous. So, this is one of the coolest glide baits I've ever thrown in my opinion. Like, the paint job on it and everything is just so sick. And the action on this bait is amazing. The only thing is what I'm used to is like a slow sinking glide bait or a glide bait that actually floats to the top. This one actually is a fast sink. And I'm not totally against it. I just feel like fishing this thing from the bank in the ponds that I'm fishing in can be a little difficult because it's sinking so fast to the point to where I'm having to work this thing a lot quicker than I would want because I don't want a bunch of grass on the bottom to get on this bait. We're going to put this thing down for a second. I want to catch one on that thing so bad, guys. You have no idea. I got an idea. Give me one second. I got to run to the car. Here we go, guys. We need to slow down. We need to try something on the bottom here. Great along this bank. I'm already hung again. That was the one thing I didn't want to get hung on and I got hung on. What is happening? Okay, we're going to send a rod in there. No, I did it. I knew I said I didn't care earlier. I freaking Look at this piece of eyelid came out. Cuz I'm being a dummy over here. I can actually get that back in there, though. That's the good thing about our rods, guys, is I had these eyes designed a specific way. I've had a lot of problems with eyelids with different rods in the past, and it should just pop just like that. Pop right back in there. I actually bent it a little bit, man. Bent my dang eyelid. Give me my worm back. Oh my gosh. Okay. I mean, dude. And we are like a mile from the car. Like, oh. Oh my gosh. And to make it even worse, that piece I knocked off my eyelid fell off the ding rod. So that piece is gone. All right, guys. We're okay. Doing a little slip and slide right into right into the dang water. I can't even talk. We got to get to work here. Got a Mr. Fluke ski on. Something weedless. Something I can work slow and fast at the same time. Still cover water, but be a little finesse. There he is. There he is in the grass. Oh, it's a good one, too. Stay pin. Oh, no. Don't come off. That is not a bad fish, man. Let's go, baby. Let's go, man. Oh my gosh. We worked so hard for that bite. I've been to like three, four different places with that fluke. Trying to get a bite on it. Finally was thinking about leaving the spot and just got us a beautiful one. Not a big one by any means, guys. It's not hitting our 5 lb goal, but still a beautiful fish and just blessed to be able to catch this one. I'm sure there's a few more out there, so we just need to keep on fishing. So, before I was working that fluke is just like a jerk bait. I was throwing it out there just kind of giving it three or four quick twitches, letting it pause. This time I was letting it just hit the bottom. I was just hopping it like a worm, man. Slowing it down a little bit more and it produced that bite. Thank you for biting, buddy. Thank you so much, man. Pretty little fish. There's some big ones that live in here, so don't let this one fool you. But still a nice catch and I'm blessed to have them. Thank you, baby. There she goes. Let's go, man. That is awesome. Big thanks to Freeash for sponsoring today's video. Be sure to scan the QR code on the screen or click the link in the description to get started.
