Small vs Big Baits Fishing Challenge

For years, anglers have believed that big baits catch big fish. But, the problem is I've seen small [music] baits catch big fish as well. So, that got me thinking, can small baits really compete with big baits? I've locked in four different rounds [music] for this challenge. Round number one is pond fishing with small baits. Round number two is pond fishing with big baits. Round [music] number three is boat fishing with small baits. And round number four is boat fishing with even bigger baits. But, here's the twist. Each round has three mystery [music] objectives. So, will small baits hold on their own against the big boys, or will this challenge prove once and for [music] all that bigger is better? And we're kicking things off with a round number one, small baits in the pond. [music] And our first objective is to land a fish. >> Starting off with Mr. Froggy Fletchy. Ready to get froggy with it? Ready to get froggy with it? Let's get froggy with it, baby. >> It feels weird fishing with you. I'm always fishing against you. >> Dude, today we're on the same team. >> We're on the same team. I'm telling you guys, this micro frog is going to get smoked. >> Guys, this is a lively pond. This is probably the most viral pond on all of the internet. I mean, I think there's what? Over 200 million views worth of of views? >> It's pretty crazy. >> On this on this one pond, literally right here in this corner. Dude, look at this bird standing on the mat. >> [laughter] >> Bro, that that thing is thick. >> Dude, I want to see the craziest blow up I've gotten all year. >> I know. I've been Oh, dude, this bird Oh! They're going [laughter] after my frog. Oh, no, no, no. They got yours? >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> It went right past yours to come get get mine. >> Any luck over there yet? >> Nothing yet, man. 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. >> Dude, this is such an itty-bitty frog. I don't think I've ever used a frog quite this small. I mean, just wait till y'all see the giant frog we have later in this video. It is absurd. >> I've never really been a fan of these frogs, but I'm going to be honest like the small one with these little legs kicking, it works a lot better. What do you think, Fletch? >> I'm honestly pretty impressed. >> I feel like the action on the small one's even better than the big one. By the way, we're rocking this on the Kickin' Their Bass TV X Lure spinning combo. If you guys want to check them out, kickin'thebass.com, baby. Now, it is time to get a bite. These fish are asleep right now. We got to wake them up. No No need to get all excited there. I'm going to pull it away from you. Golly, get him. Get away. Get away. Boy. Guys, putting the team on his on his back for >> [laughter] >> trying to keep these fish off my hook. >> Fletch, we're fishing for fish, not birds. >> I'm trying not to, dude. Can't resist. >> This spot looks great. If I can just make a good cast, man. Like if I could get this frog under the tree over there, I feel like it would be perfect. >> Have you had one swirl on you yet? >> I mean, I'm casting it at about every tree I can find. >> I saw a pretty good swirl underneath a tree. Threw my frog in there and nothing nothing to show for it. I mean, I don't know what is going on here. If I was a fish and I wanted to eat frogs, this is where I would be. This would be This is where I would stop. New spot, new opportunity. Let's see if anything rises to the occasion. As so far we've encountered birds, turtles, no fish, and no gators, but I'm just waiting for a pesky little gator to show itself. >> All right, we got to lock it. All we need is a fish. It doesn't have to be a big fish. We just need a fish. Something to get us on board. I feel like this micro frog is definitely not a hard to eat for a bass, but I mean if he is not wanting topwater, then I think it could be a little tough on us. YES, WE GOT HIM, NOAH. WE GOT A FISH. LET'S GO. GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW. Let's go. On the Tony frog. Oh, oh, yeah, it's a good one, too. It's a freaking good one. It's a freaking good one. I need I need some assist here. I need an assist. >> Oh my gosh, that is a good fish. Come on, get him up here. >> WANT TO LOSE HIM. >> BABY, COME ON. DUDE, THAT'S A GOOD ONE, MAN. COME ON. LOOK HOW he ate that thing, too. Dude, that's a solid fish, bro. >> Yes, sir. >> Look at how fat he is. Hold that thing up. >> Mhm. >> Hold that thing up, son. Hey. Hey, he wasn't allergic to frogs. He wasn't allergic. That is what you call a gobble. >> Got to start somewhere, eh? >> Yes, sir. Objective one complete. >> That's a nice one for the small fish, Matt, or for the small bass. >> All right. Let's go, dude. You want to release him or you want me to do the honors? >> the honors, man. You got him. >> Go on, honey. Let's go. >> Come on. >> All right. Time to move on to that objective number two. >> On to objective number two. I got a bottom bait. Fletcher's got a moving bait. And after this, we got to get the top water. >> We got to get the top water out, so >> [laughter] >> we might be both throwing top water or one of us might knock out two of these things, but let me go ahead and sling my little moving bait and see if we can't get the party started. >> And Fletcher, we have 30 minutes to get it done. Do you think we can make it happen? >> I think we can get it done in 30. >> All three. 30 minute time of stars right >> What is spawning, right? This Matt just spawned out of nowhere. >> I didn't get it perfectly in there, and I just realized something. I totally missed this eye. I thought something felt weird, bro. I'm like, what is going on? Like, I felt like my casting was so bad. I'm like, I know my casting's not that bad. It's like you're all all LET'S GO, BABY. COME ON. COME ON, SON. OH, BABY, dance for me. Dance for me, son. Oh, yeah. >> What's crazy is I just threw in that spot. >> Oh, dude, I think there'd be more there. Keep casting down that bank. >> Let's go, baby. Come on. Hey, she's not as big as yours, but hey. >> Size does not matter at this given time. >> Bottom bait eliminated. >> Yes, sir. Look at that boy. >> Yeah. >> Pretty girl. That's bottom bait complete, boys. Now we just need moving bait and topwater to get on to objective number three, and you guys are going to freak on that. >> [laughter] >> You guys are going to freak on that one. If we can complete the objective how we want to, it's going to be a little wild. >> Ooh, it's going to be a good time. >> Thank you, baby. We got a mini lipless crank. Dude, look at this, man. >> The micro lipless? >> Dude, I grabbed that specifically for you cuz I knew you would love that. >> that's sauced up. >> All right, flatfish. We have 18 minutes. >> 18 minutes? >> 18 minutes. >> That's all? >> That's it. >> Right in the hot spot again? Come on. Yes! Yes! >> OH, GOT HIM. >> STAY DOWN. >> YO. >> Stay down. Is that a good one, baby? >> Hold on. Hold on. We got to keep him in. >> Come on. >> need to do this. I don't want to lose him. We got a tiny little hook. >> No, you got it, dude. You got it. That's all you. Oh, yeah, baby. >> [laughter] >> All right. >> Ooh. >> We got two out of the three baits complete. It's time to move on to the topwater for our medium challenge. >> a good fish, too, man. >> Not too shabby. Take a look at that, guys. Oh, yeah. A nice little bass. >> That's killer, man. >> How much time we got left? >> we got like probably 10 minutes. Let me look. >> We got to put a little pep in the step here, guys. >> 14 minutes. >> [laughter] >> 14? >> 14 minutes to get one more topwater bite. But the first topwater bite was horrible, bro. So. >> Yeah, I'm a I'm a little nervous. It took us way longer than 14 minutes to catch a fish on top water to begin with. Only a few more minutes to kill. We move spots. >> I had to put that frog back on. >> Oh. >> He's look >> Looking saucy. >> He looking too saucy. >> OH! >> [screaming and groaning] >> COME ON, DUDE. LET'S GO! >> DUDE, THAT WAS SICK. >> BOOM! >> That was sick. >> Clobbered it. >> Just stay pinned, baby. >> Oh, that's a decent one, bro. >> I'm coming for the assist. Oh, dude, I got to get him out of this grass. >> Come on, dude. Come on, dude. Let's go, baby. >> [laughter] >> Medium objective complete. >> Let's go, brother. Come on. Yes, sir. Hey, he didn't he didn't as good as yours, but he still got it good, man. >> He got to get a little corn. >> got it good. Well, they feeling a little froggy today. See, they ain't allergic to frogs in this pond. >> No, sirree. >> The first pond, maybe. >> Well, there we go. That is objective number two complete. And now on to objective number three, baby. Let's >> get it. >> The extreme challenge begins. >> The extreme challenge. All right, 30 minutes, Fletcher. Over 5 lbs. >> This spot is looking juicy. I feel like we're about to tear them up, boy. >> I could beam that bait, too. >> Oh my gosh. >> Dude, this thing slings. >> So, all the baits we've used have been super light. This one's a half ounce and it's got that big old spinner on the back of it. Listen, if there's a bait for big fish, it's the ones we're throwing. >> And I got this little blade bait. And this thing is just like a little chunk of metal. Kind of shaped like that lipless that Noah had, but comes with a little more thump. And a little bit more junk in the trunk to get it out there. >> Bro, this thing has more thump than a dang spinnerbait. And [laughter] that is actually ridiculous. >> Does it kick it that hard? >> Yeah, dude. I mean, it has a Colorado blade, too. What do you think? Couple more casts and then we just move to the other side? >> Yeah, I I think the key here is is moving. Moving and grooving. Don't spend too much >> Oh, no. >> Are you hung up? Oh, dude, you can't be losing. >> [laughter] >> Go on. Easy now. >> The bait's so heavy, I almost hit myself with it. Okay. Yeah, that would have not been good. I'm not going to hype here this bait up. I cast it and then it's gone. >> I think that's the sign to move to the next spot. >> All right, come on now, Fletch. Spot number two. New opportunity. >> I'm feeling it here. Oh, dude, it's going to happen. >> Dude, the water is even a little clearer. >> Bro, we can cast so far, too. Oh my gosh. >> Dude, I'm telling you, I've consistently caught really good size fish right over here. >> Oh, yeah. >> Golly. OH! >> [screaming] [laughter] >> OH MY GOD. >> THAT WAS THAT WAS SICK. >> DUDE, THAT WAS CRAZY. [laughter] OKAY, OKAY. BRO, he's not the 5-pounder, but that was insane. That was actually wild. Dude, look at how fat he is. He's like a stubby boy. >> Dude, I haven't seen a fish eat right at my feet like that in a long time. >> I mean, look at that. And that is a beautiful fish, man. Look at how fat he is. That is a future toad, bro. That is a future 10-pounder. Not our 5-pounder we're looking for, but hey, that's a step in the right direction, man. >> Give him Give him a year or two and we'll come back and give him an interview and then he'll be probably about 10. >> Bro, look at him in my hand. Like, look at that. It don't even look >> [laughter] >> Okay. He's doing backflips. I'm a fan of the tail spin. Never seen this bait in my life, but I'm a fan. >> Keep her going. >> Let's find some greener pastures. All right, Fletch, we have 15 minutes, bro. Half the time's already gone. >> Divide and conquer. Oh, swirl right there. Literally right when we locked up. >> Get him now. >> Dude, the water is so high right now. >> It is. Been a lot of rain, man. >> Yeah. >> That's why it's so dirty. >> No doubt about that. I I man. Maybe they're just waiting for us to size up. >> I guess, man. >> They might just be waiting for them big baits COMING THEIR WAY. DUDE. >> HOLD ON. >> GOOD ONE? >> I don't know, bro. >> Could it be the one? >> Oh, no, he's not. He came off. He came off. He's only a pound. >> Oh, man. >> he slammed bone on it, bro. >> Dude. Oh, that would have been electric. >> Dude, right when you were talking about that, too. >> [laughter] >> Oh, we need something here quick. I can't imagine we got much time left. >> Five-pounder. Oh. >> What do you >> [laughter] >> All right. >> Hey. We still had a good fish. Not the five-pounder we were wanting. I'm still not convinced, bro. >> Still not convinced. >> Still not convinced. Small baits definitely still catch big fish. And we're going to prove that later. >> And we still got a we still got a boat around to prove that. >> But it's time to get onto the big baits, son. Let's go. >> The bigger the better, they say. The bigger, the better. >> The moment we've all been waiting for, the big old boss baits, baby. >> Glorious. This one is >> Bro, look >> [laughter] >> Absolutely. Giant lure. >> Yeah, that thing's ridiculous. Dude, look at the trap, bro. You really can't tell how big it is, but I guess when I put it in my hand, you can tell that thing's massive, bro. >> I got a story about this trap right here. >> What's that? >> The very first time I saw someone throw a trap this size was my dad. In this exact pond. It was on the boat, though. >> Okay. >> And he was just letting it hang under the boat while we were riding around. He was throwing something else. Six and a half-pounder lunches it. Right under the boat. >> some of [laughter] that. We need some of that. So, the rules are the same. First round, catch fish. Second round, top, middle, bottom. Third round, big daddy, baby. >> Yes, sir. >> We need a big mama. We need a big mama this video. Let's get it. It's getting a little later in the day, too. Maybe the fish are brewing up. Did you do anything right here? You see See little ripple? >> Yeah, that that was a fish. That was a fish. >> Bro, this trap is so big. Now we're getting to to where I'm getting a little excited, man. I'm not saying the small baits didn't excite me, but the big baits do. I mean, come on. Oh my gosh. >> [laughter] >> Dude, that sounded like a fish blowing up down there. >> Dude, I was catching that thing a country mile. >> Dude, I got that sunrise color. Did you see this? Dude, you almost had another one in the in your ankles. >> So glad you saw that. Throw in there. Throw in there. Bro, he put his nose on the back of it. >> All right, what do you think? One more cast and then we go to the dock over here? >> Yeah. I think we I got to keep that train moving. Let's get a move on. >> Yes, sir. >> I'll let you get her on in and we'll move down to an enticing little spot. >> Got a little rain, dude. >> A little sprinkle. >> A little sprinkle tankle. >> A little late summer sprinkle coming in. >> Nothing wrong with a little sprinkle tankle. That's when the big bass bite. >> No doubt about it. >> I'm just going to cast into the abyss because [laughter] I can attract a fish all the way in that far corner. >> Let me target like this close stuff. And you kind of just get out there. >> Yeah. That's the move. You got some good depth out there, too, which I need some depth with this thing. >> You got enough line on there, you might be able to get all the way across. >> Probably could. >> Yes. Yes. >> Come on, BRO. >> YES. >> OH, big one. >> Oh, that's a good dude. >> [laughter] >> That's a good one. >> OH. >> OH MY GOSH. BIG BASS. >> YO, THAT'S a nice one, bro. >> Big fish. Or skinny. >> [groaning] >> He's got a big freaking noggin on him, though. >> [laughter] >> That's a 4-lb noggin, though. 4-lb noggin and a 3-lb body. >> Yeah, I think he got a like a 2-lb body. It evens out at evens out at three. >> No, you're right. That's definitely a three pound fish. >> Oh, without a doubt. >> Let's go, baby. >> All right. >> good fish, Fletcher. Good show to you. >> Objective numero uno. >> Let's go, son. >> He's only got one eye, too. >> Ooh, a little cataract. >> Come on. Come on, dog. You do that so quick. >> There's a good look there, guys. Quality LMB. And we secured that bad boy on this giant worm right there. I like to call that sunrise color. Kind of looks like a sunrise or a sunset. And off she swims. Smoked it. >> Go, baby. Come on. >> All right. >> All right, so we need to set a 30-minute timer. >> 30-minute timer. >> Bottom, middle, top. And I'm keeping this bad boy on. >> I mean I can mix it up. Oh, I do have another color, but I mean, shoot. We got to We got to knock them out. >> Yeah. >> We got to knock them down. >> Hey, we got 30 minutes, so pick your baits wisely. Here we go, boys. 30 minutes starts now. Let's get it, man. I got to get one on this trap, Fletcher. The only thing I wish I had was a little bit of wind. >> That'd be nice. >> OOH! YOU GET SLAPPED. >> [laughter] >> OH, MY GOODNESS. LET'S GO. NO WAY. OH! There we go. First fish of objective number two moving bait complete. Now we just need top water and bottom [music] bait. And boy, did it feel good to catch that fish on that trap, man. That was such a cool eat. I was expecting something a lot bigger than him, though. But, you know. >> I mean, that's a healthy one, though. >> Oh, it's still a really good fish. I mean, he's probably two and a quarter. Look what I got. Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Here. You already know. >> [screaming] >> Oh! Oh, he's a monster. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm going to bring him around front. >> Bring him around town. Bring him around [laughter] town. >> Dude, he ain't He's done fighting. He's just done. He's done. >> He's throwing the towel. >> I mean, you're not going to Come on. >> Come on. He's >> [laughter] >> paid actor. >> He's like He's like, "Dude, He's like, "This walking bait's too big. I can't even open my mouth." >> They didn't put in his contract that he had to fight. All he told him was he had to bite >> [laughter] >> Oh, man. Dude, that's insane, bro. >> Heck yeah, dude. >> I would have never thought that the topwater and moving baits would have like caught the fish before the slow bait. >> Without it. I mean, I had my opportunities. Let's >> You did. You [laughter] did. And you did already catch one on it. So. >> Technically. Technically speaking. >> I mean, shoot, bro. These fish are just munching off this dock. I mean, no monsters yet, but I mean, these are some really good, solid fish that we're catching. And that is the topwater fish of the second round, maybe. Let's just drop her in. Give her a little Thank you, baby. Dude, she hammered that. You know what's crazy is I was working it fast the whole time. >> Then you paused it once. >> Yeah, I paused it because I'm throwing it on fluorocarbon, so it's kind of sinking. But, I was thinking in my head, too. I'm like, "Maybe he wants it a little slower." And sure enough, boofsh. That fish looked a lot bigger from afar. The head on that thing looked giant. >> YES! I GOT ONE! OH, HE'S STUCK ON SOMETHING. NO! HE'S STUCK on something. OH, I SAW him literally come up. Oh, I'm on structure. Dude, Noah. I don't know what to do. >> Wait, he's in a tree? >> Yeah, he's in a tree. I We're going to need to pull this kayak in here. I'm going to need your help. All right, Noah. I'm going to get the front. I'll let you get the back. >> Oh, boy. >> Dude, I swear don't throw me in. Oh my gosh. >> We're in. We're in. We're in. All right. You're on the paddle. I'm on the rod. >> We're good. We're good. All right. Bro, why is it so shaky? >> I don't know. I don't know. >> Okay. >> This it should be stable. Oh, see the fish. I see the fish. >> Oh my god, you >> You see him? >> Yeah, yeah. >> [laughter] >> Hold on. >> Grab him. Grab him. >> Hold on. >> [laughter] >> Hold on. Hold on. >> Here, hold on. Hold on. >> Hold on. >> Don't tip the boat. >> Hold on. I got the fish. I got the fish. GET HIM. >> LET'S GO, BABY. >> I GOT HIM. >> LET'S GO, BABY. [laughter] >> Oh my god, I'm getting myself soaked. >> [laughter and gasps] >> What a rescue mission, dude. What a freaking rescue mission. All right. >> [laughter] >> Let's go. >> Fish secure there, guys. We're going to go ahead and revive this one cuz she might need a little little extra effort to get out of there or she's just going to kick right off. >> She's chilling. >> Dude, she's a champ. >> [laughter] >> It's fun. >> Completed an objective two and in fashion. >> [laughter] >> On to objective number three and you guys think that that's a big mag draft right there. But look at this big donkey right there, son. >> Holy cow. >> And listen, we're going to be pulling this bad boy out when we get on the boat later for the final round. And this is going to catch a donkey, dude. Maybe a 15 pounder, you never know. >> to throw that. >> That's a big boy. >> I don't think I've ever thrown a mag that big. >> Dude, that thing's mad I mean, look at the comparison. And this thing's pretty big still. Like I consider this still a big swim bait. >> a doubt. >> But that thing is actually obnoxious. >> [laughter] >> It's It's unreal. With 30 minutes on the clock, Fletcher, we have to catch a fish over 5 lbs. I feel like it's doable on this big bait section. >> Without a doubt, man. They've been munching. We've seen some good fish come through. It's time to lock in. >> Yes, sir. Let's get this on. >> Bang. I keep waiting to for the day where one of these little baby gators comes to check out my lure and just gets obliterated by a just a truly trophy size largemouth bass. [laughter] >> Right here in this corner just looks spectacular. Oh! Oh, dude. >> Hit it good? >> I'm talking like clocked it. Just straight >> Oh! >> [groaning] >> Just never had it. All right, this is looking looking like some big bass territory. Pretty shallow. I bet this this bank right here is great during the spawn. >> Oh, yeah, dude. It's amazing. Really hoping with the water being up here this grass edge would be holding a fish. >> Oh! Oh my gosh, dude. Crushed it. Oh my god! Oh my god! Yes! OH MY GOD, BABY! DUDE, THAT IS OH, HE'S SO CLOSE. >> that one into existence there. >> Dude, he's so close, Fluker. >> Get the scale. We got to see what the damage is. >> I thought he was 100% uh >> Oh! >> You had me out of my shoes, man. >> Dude, that fish look like he was 7 lbs when he jumped, bro. >> I know. Wow. >> Let me grab them KTB pliers. >> Yes, sir. You all already know. You know where to get them. >> Oh, baby. Take a look at that freaking chunk. >> Dude, that's a good fish. >> You had me >> jumping out of my shoes, bro. >> Blow me up. >> Blow me up. Let's see what the damage is on this baby. Come on. Give me something good. >> Uh it's not it's not good it's not good news, sadly. It's still a really good fish, bro, but a 3.77. >> Okay. >> I mean, I thought she would at least hit four. You know what I mean? >> Just short and chunky. >> It's just a really short fish. >> have the length, but >> She's fat. >> [laughter] >> When that Bro, when that fish jumped, it literally looked like a 5-lb all day. Oh my gosh. Well, I'mma get her back in and shoot, dude. There might be another one right where she came from. Oh dude, you have me pumped. All right, guys. We're at our final spot. We don't have much time left. Starting to rain. We got to skedaddle. Get after it. Oh, got one. >> NO WAY. DID YOU GET HIM? >> Not the giant we're after, but we got something in this pond. She's a little pipsqueak, to be honest, but she a chunky pipsqueak. Woo. I mean, if they're going to eat like that in here, you know there's got to be a big one in here with a fish that ambitious. >> Man, I was expecting to get a bite or something here, Fletch. >> I know. >> I got that one bite off the rip with this thing and just >> Nothing after that? >> Nothing. And that's it. >> Really? >> Well, that does it. On the bank for the small baits and the big baits. We'll catch you guys tomorrow on the boat for some big old bass, Fletcher. One, we're going to prove that we can catch big bass on small baits. And we're also going to prove that we can catch big bass on some big frogs, some massive swimbaits. >> Dude, that 8-in mag >> is going to get crazy, bro. >> It's going to get wild. >> Catch y'all tomorrow. We're finally on the lake with the small baits, boy. The boat fishing's about to be fire. >> Dude, I've been waiting. I've been itching to sit my behind right on this seat and start skedaddling around this pond. >> Oh dude, there's going to be some big ones caught. We got a tiny little micro swimbait. Look how tiny this puppy is. And our first objective, Fletcher, is to catch fish over 2-lb. That's a pretty easy challenge. >> I think that's doable. I don't think that that's a hard one at all. I mean, a 2-lb er We've been catching 2-lb ers this whole time. >> I'm going to try to go above and beyond and double that. I'm going to I'm going for a four. >> I like that. >> A four plus. >> Objective number two is going to be a little crazy, Fletcher. >> I know so. >> This is just a little wild, man. It's nearly impossible, but we're going to do it today, 100%. So, Fletcher, you know that spot, the little offshore spot over there? >> Yes, sir. >> So, I feel like we could go over there and catch a fish right off the rip. But, objective number two, we are going to probably have to hit that spot together. >> So, you're telling me to stay away from it for now. >> Stay away from that spot. >> Cuz I was starting to get called that way. I was kind of eyeing it out of the corner of my eye, but if we need to save it for the immediate objective or the extreme objective, I will I will hold my horses. >> Oh. Okay. Oh, okay. Fletcher. >> What happened? >> I have a problem. What's your problem? Turn around. >> What did you do? >> I don't even know, dude. It's pretty loose. I just need to get >> No, YOU DON'T. >> FISH! LET'S GO! LET'S GO! OKAY. Bass secured. Stay down. Stay down. We are about to complete this first objective. I just don't want to lose him. He's barely hooked on the bottom. Oh, get in there. >> [laughter] >> Let's go! He's so close, Fletcher. I don't know if he'll hit it. >> What's he got to be, 2 lb? >> 2 lb. 2 lb. This is a borderline 2 pounder. I'm not going to lie. >> You got to guess for me. >> All right, let me see him. >> Hold on, I'm going to tell you what he is. >> Okay, he is a 1.62. >> You're going to hate this. >> What? >> 1 lb 15 oz. >> [laughter] >> We are 1 oz short of our 2 pounder. >> No. >> Oh my gosh, but nevertheless, nice to break the ice on the boat here and get one more fish up on Noah for bragging rights. >> Oh dude, oh my gosh. Look at that guys. That's one of the best looking baits I've seen in a long time. Wow. Look at my bait in the water. Oh, oh that thing looks I'm kind of like working it like a fluke but it has a jig head but it's darting like really good. >> Yes, got [music] one there. Come on. >> Oh, it's a good fish. >> Come on dude, land that fish. Come on. Oh, fletch. Oh dude. >> Did you just Did you just get what I got? Smackarooed. >> Dude, that's a good fish fletch. >> That's what I'M SAYING DUDE. >> [laughter] >> YES. >> GOOD JOB. >> All right boys. 3 lb 7 oz. >> Let's go dude, that's a really good fish. >> All right. >> Good job. >> 3 yeah, 37. Keeps kind of bouncing a little bit. But all in all, really good quality fish guys. Let's get the release. Yes sir. >> Good [laughter] job. >> Glad to see it. >> Hey, is that the biggest micro bait fish yet, right? >> think so. >> That's a good one dude. What did you say 3 lb what? >> 7 oz. >> Let's go. So Fletcher, we're moving on to objective number two. Do you want to know what it is? >> Hit me with it. >> We have to double up in 30 minutes. >> [laughter] >> Well, I'm going to need you to pick up the pace sir. [laughter] I'm going to need you to pick up the pace. >> now. Listen, look at this. Look at this. I got my tail spin and I got my fluoro, okay? We we good now. We We log back in. >> It's super locked. >> Oh, we're we're beyond locked right now. Oh, oh, oh dude. Come on Fletcher, hook them up. >> Nose on. >> Oh, that's a good one dude. It feels like it. Oh, yeah. It's a healthy one. >> Throw it in behind >> [laughter] >> This time of year they like to get right on top of each other. >> I think you had them reeling in a reasonable amount of time. Oh, man. It's so hard to fight this guy. He's so big. >> [laughter] >> This taking so long. All right. I feel >> He's going for a run. >> I feel like that's uh >> [laughter] >> That's the time frame I got to I can't get past that. I mean, look at that. That's a good fish. Tail spinning with some fluorocarbon, man. Pretty bass. >> How you really had to hit us with the with the double up? I don't know if that's an immediate objective, Noah. >> I just feel like the extreme objective has to be for like a big boy. You know what I mean? A good girthosaurus. >> What if I told you the extreme objective is for us to double up on 5-pounders? >> [laughter] >> All right. You want to go out to the main lake, man? What are you thinking? >> I think it's calling us. >> I think we're going out to the main lake and fish a big fish pocket. >> Fletcher, we got 8 minutes. >> 8 minutes? Okay. Well, I'm glad to hear we got at least a little bit of time left cuz we're about to roll up on this money zone. >> So, how do you want to do this? Should it be strategic? >> Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I need you to figure out exactly where it is, scope it, cast to it, I'll cast right behind you. >> All right. I got you. I freaking lost them, dude. There There multiple fish right there. >> There two, Fletcher. You need to throw right there, bro. Look at Follow my lead. Right there. There multiple fish right there. Dude, he hammered it, too, bro. Just Oh. Oh, I just got slapped. YEAH. OH. OH. >> You got him? You got him? >> No. Dude, dude, they're just Oh. >> You got one? >> It's a good one, too. I'm pretty sure. Oh, dude, this is a good fish. >> Like a really good >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Throw your bait in there, bro. I can Look at this. I can't even move him. I'm >> I'm tangled. I got a giant on, bro. >> You got a giant [laughter] on? Let's go. I'm pretty sure Oh, it's not a Dude, why was he fighting? Did you see that? >> No, I missed him. I'll try to get him. >> Dude, I mean, I can't even move the fish. All I know is you need to throw throw like I can't even >> Oh, no, not the diver. >> I mean, I haven't landed him yet. >> Not the diver. Hold on. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No. >> Are you snagged? >> Dude, I'm snagged. >> Oh, >> fish is like the strongest little guy I've ever seen. >> No way. >> Oh, that is a bummer, [laughter] dude. Dog, like come Oh. I got him. I got him. I got him. >> You got him? >> Yeah. It's 2-pounder. >> Not too late. Not too late. >> Come on, Fletcher. I haven't landed him yet. >> [laughter] >> It's all right. This is my last cast here. We might be taking an L. >> [laughter] >> Oh, well, guys, that's not the double up we want, but that's a good 2-pounder. And Fletcher, sadly, we ran out of time, man. We got to head into uh objective number three. >> Woo. >> And do you want to do that at this lake, or would you like to go to the lake where we're going to use the big baits here in a little bit? That's the big question. >> we go ahead and mix it up. We've fished this one pretty thoroughly. I think it's time for a scene scenery change. >> I agree. All right. On a new body of water and onto a new objective. Fletcher, 30 minutes. And since we didn't complete it in the bank fishing, we have to catch one over 5 lb, but this time we have to do it, bro. We just have to do it for the people. We have to do it for ourselves. We have to do it for our insanity, brother. Okay? It's got It's just Dude, this got to happen. I know a small bait can catch a 5-pounder. >> I'm putting the rally cap on. I'm putting the rally cap on. I'm locking in. I've never been more ready to catch a trophy-size bass than I am right now. >> Dude, we have to do it. I'm tying my tail spin back on, dude. >> tail spin? >> Yeah, I'm going to start with the tail spin. I just have a lot of confidence in this little thing. I've been getting slobber knocked on this puppy. And that 30 minutes starts right now, man. I'm feeling confident. I switched over to this little squirmy wormy, and I feel like this could be the ticket to get the job done. Come on. It's crazy how slow this little thing sinks compared to like what I'm normally fishing with with worm wise. It feels like you're fishing 100 ft of water, don't it? >> [laughter] >> It feels like this just got five times as deep. This time is taking quicker than I thought, man. I mean, we pulled up to big boy territory. Aw. I thought I had one, dude. I got hung. Oh, really? Dang. We need at least one opportunity, man, before this timer goes off, clutch. Back here might be the sauce right now, dude. >> Yeah, I guess so, dude. That's what I'm >> I mean, it was acting like the sauce yesterday. >> Yesterday, they were fired up over there. All right, no question about that. Woah. >> [laughter] >> Hey, easy now. >> you you're the fish attracted, dude. I just got to throw by you, and >> Be careful, you might catch yourself a 180 pounder by mistake. >> [laughter] >> If we don't catch a fish in the next 5 minutes on the small baits, I think that gives us an answer. They want the big baits in this next this whole next round is about to be insane. It's crazy like how much just changing your lure can make a difference. I've come out here thinking small baits were the move. Didn't happen. Tried medium-size baits, didn't happen. Put on the biggest possible baits that I could find in my tackle box, slamming it. Like flipped a switch. >> It's the weirdest round that we've had the whole video, man. >> They're acting bizarre. >> Like I said, the only thing I could guess is they just don't want small baits. Like that's the only thing I can guess. Oh, man. >> Is that it? >> Dude, feel like I just got beat up. I don't >> That [laughter] That was rough. >> What just happened, bro? >> Well, it looks like we're going into our final round of baits with our big lures. >> It's the moment we've been waiting on. >> Oh, I got one. I GOT ONE. I GOT ONE. I GOT ONE. >> REALLY? >> NOT GET SKUNKED. >> HOLD ON. HOLD ON. >> NOT GET SKUNKED. >> I'm counting this, bro. I'm counting this. I don't care, bro. >> That That cast was out there. >> Yeah, [laughter] you did have it. You had a big one. Hold on. >> Big good one. >> Please be a good one. >> What you think it might be? A 5-pounder? >> Oh, that's a big one, bro. Come [laughter] on. >> You want me to help you? What do you want? >> Um, hold on. >> Now, you just land him. This is all you. Oh, that's a 5-pounder. >> He's screaming drag. >> Fletcher. That's freaking >> He's screaming drag. Oh my gosh. >> Oh my gosh, dude. Come on. >> She's got potential. She's got it. >> She's got potential. >> This is him. This is [laughter] him. This is him This is him landing this fish, Fletcher. Please land this fish. >> Come on. Come on. Come on. >> Dude, that's a monster. >> That's a 5-pounder. That's a 5 all day. >> to be careful. >> 5 all day? It's a 5 all day. >> You got to be careful. If not, it's really close, bro. >> Come on. Come on. >> Oh my gosh, that's a 10. >> [laughter] [gasps] >> How about that for a freaking buzzer-beater, dude? >> [laughter] >> We were just talking about how we just got beat up, and you just land a Fletcher, it's close, bro. >> It's [laughter] really close. >> Like, if it's not 5, it's 4.75. >> It's I mean, it is very, very close. >> Oh my gosh. I can't even believe that, BRO. >> NO WAY. >> OUR BIGGEST ONE YET. >> [laughter] >> 4 LB 2 OZ. >> [laughter] >> WE ARE CLOSE. WE ARE knocking on the door of the big boys. And now that we're officially moving on to our big baits, it's time to answer. >> Dude. >> It's time to answer. >> I'm not going to lie. I can't even be mad about it. Like 5 seconds ago we didn't have any fish that round. >> [laughter] >> And you hook one fish and it's almost the 5 pounder we're looking for. >> That's crazy. >> We've been trying to look for the 5 pounder all video. And it's setting up perfectly to land it on a freaking massive swim bait or even maybe a big frog with the sun going down. I mean Fluker's laying out. >> are endless. >> Oh my gosh. Without further ado, we on the round number four, baby. Oh oh oh oh. Oh. >> THAT BIG SPOON. >> OH. That's a very unique bait that we really couldn't I mean we could technically >> I'll throw the spoon. >> Yeah, I was about to say that's a fun bait. >> the spoon. Give me that thing. >> Bro, I'm kind of jealous. That is a sexy looking bait. The spoon. Listen, this catches monsters, bro. Fire me up, baby. Oh. So objective number one is to still catch a fish over 2 pounds. Do you think we can catch a fish over 2 I mean the first fish in this lake was almost 5 pounds, Fluker. >> If we get a bite on any of these lures, I think it's going to be over two. >> It's going to be a 2 pounder. T-rig. I think I'm going to go with the big old monster worm. >> Monster? >> And when you were throwing it on the bank, you used a totally different color. We have not used this color yet and it looks really spicy, man. >> I want that brown. >> Yeah, that looks really good. I'm going to go a a different method, man. You're going to be fishing in the middle of that. I'm going to kind of hit around these banks here. Cuz you caught that fish around the edge of a tree, right? >> Yeah, he's kind of >> Right where I threw it. >> It's there, like 15 20 feet off the off the tree line. >> Okay. So you can buy what like stinger hooks to put on the front of them? >> Yeah. >> Cuz sometimes they grab I got him. >> You got him? You wink him. >> Oh, he broke me off. >> Oh, he snapped. >> That one felt good, bro. >> No. >> [laughter] >> You know what I was thinking? So this rod, the reason I was using my other bait caster is because this line's a little old. >> Yeah. >> was sketched out to do but I was like, you know what? I'll rig a worm up on this rod. Bro, that's what happens when you make mistakes. Gosh. My line's old. You got to replace your line. Don't be a dummy like me. Replace your line. >> I feel like I always say that, but never actually follow my own advice. >> I'm I'm the same way, bro. I can't believe I missed that fish, bro. >> I know, dude. I need you to lock in. >> Guys, we've been waiting all video for this moment, and I feel obligated I have to show you guys a big bass. We have seen some really good bass throughout the video. >> Bro, you don't. >> GOT ONE. >> BABY. >> OH, YEAH, BUDDY. On the magnum spoon. [laughter] She's a little on the skinny side, though. Got some length on her, though. >> Don't miss it by an ounce again. >> Oh, we're in the clear, baby. 2 lb 10 oz. Yeah. >> Sir, come on. Give him a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen. >> Let me slide you back in there, honey. And we're going to move on to double trouble. >> Double trouble, baby. So, the question is should we play super strategic with this uh double up? I feel like we have to. >> Oh, yeah. 100%. >> Oh, he just ate it under the boat. >> Golly. >> I mean >> Golly, dude. >> I mean He ain't a big one, but hey. >> Hold on. >> Hey, you might as well You might as well win >> an opportunity. >> You might as well listen. If you do it right here, I'll lose my mind, actually. You drop Oh, he's eating me. He's eating me. >> He's eating you? >> Yep. I'm pretty sure he said Yeah, he ate me. >> Oh. >> He snapped me off. What is going on? Let me just dial in. That's $80 line, note. Maybe I'm just too strong for him, man. Maybe I'm just like going a little too much. Maybe I got to I got to slow my roll, man. I didn't get my workout today, so I've been trying to get my reps in, you know? I did a little too much. >> He might be hugging tight on the bottom where you can't see them. >> Oh, I got them. >> You got them? >> Oh, I can't. >> Dude, I feel like I got to get a worm. You're you're getting tons of nibbles on that. >> the success for the Like if we get a double up, we can do it. >> strategize here. We've got to do what's best for the squad. Give me Give me everything I need. Try Target that little hole right there first. Target that hole. I'm going to target like outside the bayou, and then we're going to go in one more hole. >> Bro, I got one right in front of me. Hold on. >> Did you just not set the hook? Oh, I got one. I got one. >> don't. Really? [laughter] >> Get in there. >> Oh my gosh. >> Get him, Noah. >> I got one on me. I got one on me. I'm not I'm not even kidding. He's literally He's breathing on it. He's breathing on it. Hold on. I'm going to cast in your in your in your spot right here. >> You ready? >> Yes, sir. >> Oh, come on. Please, dude. I just like made one spit it out, and then >> I'm making it suspenseful. He's going to have a slow, meticulous fall to the water. >> Oh, I got him. I got him. Yes, I do. >> [laughter] >> I should have let him eat it longer. All right, hold on, Fletcher. >> He's slowly but surely dipping. >> Oh my gosh. This is going to make me so mad. This is the most reasonable release I can do. Come on, dude. >> He's nibbling my finger. I let go of him. He's on his own accord now. >> Oh my god. [laughter] Why, bro? Why? Like, can you tell me why? >> Dude, we're in the hot territory, though. They're starting to fire up. >> Oh, dude, these fish are biting really good right now. >> Oh, I got one. >> No, you don't. >> Yep. Got one. >> Um Okay, here we go. >> Come on. Come on, Noah. >> I'm [laughter] doing it. I'm doing it, Fletcher. >> Come on. >> Fletcher, I'm doing it. >> him. >> I got it. >> [laughter] >> Dude. >> I got HIM. I GOT HIM. >> HE'S TALKING to me. >> Oh, I got one. >> Oh, you don't. >> I got HIM. >> I GOT HIM. >> HE CAME OFF. >> OH. >> [laughter] >> HE CAME OFF? I'm trying to not hook set hard because I keep breaking off and now I'm not hooking them. Dude, I am just a mess right now, Fletcher. You're better off without me at this point. Fletcher, come on. You >> [laughter] >> Come on, Fletcher. Don't do this to me, please. >> Please, Fletcher. Don't do this to me. Hold on. Hold on. Just give me Give me a second. >> I He's Oh, he's gone. >> Oh my >> He's gone. >> got one. >> No, you don't. >> a monster. >> No, you don't. >> a monster. Fletcher, [laughter] it's a monster. >> I just stay here, boy. >> Hey, throw in there. Just throw in there. There's a lot of fish here, bro. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. And dude, if I had to be a guessing man, we probably have 5 minutes on the clock. I haven't checked it. I'm in slow motion, Fletcher. Please >> is that's a This might be our only chance, too, dude. >> sloth release. >> Got him. I got him. I GOT HIM. >> He's gone. [laughter] Dude, come on. We got the double up, baby. We got the double up, baby. >> Double trouble. >> Oh, yeah, dude. Hey, that [laughter] counts. That counts. It might have been the slowest release you guys have ever seen, but it counts. Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do, man. >> Dude, it's not Noah's fault that he has sloth in his ancestral tree. [laughter] >> [gasps] >> And just You know, sometimes it it comes out. >> Those are good fish. >> Oh, quality fish, yeah. >> lbs of fish in our hand. >> Can we get a fish bump? We haven't had a fish bump. >> what I'm saying. >> Boom. >> Let's go, son. Come on. >> Here we go. >> Oh my god. Okay. He was excited. Let's go, dude. Come on. [laughter] That was not easy, but we got it done. So, on to the final objective, [music] objective number three in the big baits, big boat round. We have to catch one over 5 lbs. If we do, >> [music] >> this will be the only challenge out of the four that we actually completed. And we will feel very successful and we will reward everybody that's been waiting this whole time. It's got to happen, Fletcher. 5-pounder, lock it in. >> I just took a bite of this worm like it was a beef jerky stick. >> I saw that. You look hungry. >> Yeah. They They I mean, the fish were enjoying it. I thought I might just give it a taste real quick. >> Fletcher, the 30 minutes starts right now. >> So, Fletcher, you know, I know we talked about this big mag and I would totally tie it on first. Maybe we do that right before the day ends. But, I feel like we've already caught fish. I've already caught some bass on a mag draft. I feel like I need to try the Nessie, dude. What do you think? >> The 9-in Nessie, the biggest bait out of the bunch. >> Yes, sir. I mean, I feel like that's just a must. You're going to tie on the big frog. >> Slap her on. >> I'm going to tie on the big Nessie. So, here's what we're working with here, guys. This is not the most conventional way to rig this thing. I understand that. But, >> You're crazy. [laughter] >> we do not have ideal terminal tackle for this because this frog is super thick and I really probably need like a probably like a 7 odd hook >> [laughter] >> to to fish this thing properly. Um, so, we're just going to nose hook it. I've used this thing like this before when Noah gave it to me without any prior knowledge of me needing to know that I needed a big hook. And, this is what I had to do. And, I caught fish on it. So, we'll see what we can do. >> Dude, >> [laughter] >> Dude, you dropped the hook and that's a 5-pounder. That's a 5-pounder. He's a 5-pounder. >> No freaking way. My pole is going to break. Oh my gosh. No freaking way. No freaking way. Come [laughter] on, baby. >> It's It's close. >> Oh my Fletcher, how is that even possible? I've never seen nothing like that in my life. I watched him come up and eat that. >> Bro, you You all You all were laughing at my unorthodox setup. Not what we wanted. 3 lb 8 oz. >> [snorts] >> But, a respectable bass nevertheless. All All So, now we've come to a dilemma. Um the spot I put my hook through ripped. So, um uh we're going next door. The good thing is this frog floats. So, if it does rip off, I just go retrieve it and replace the hook. >> You gave me a lot of hope in getting a bite on this thing, though. >> Hey, you're feeling ambitious now? >> I'm feeling crazy about it. Oh! >> Oh! Oh! Yeah, no, that was a fish. No. >> On your bait? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> On the 9-in glide? >> Yes, on the 9-in glide. >> Oh my gosh, what is going on over there, Noah? What is going on? Oh! Fletcher, Fletcher, Fletcher. They're on this tree, dude. >> Dude, [laughter] this challenge might be on you, dude. I just had the worst backlash I've had in about three three decades. I don't know how I'm going to recover from this. >> [laughter] >> Dude, that's pretty bad. Shucks, dude. >> [laughter] >> I don't even know what to say about that. >> I'm just I'm too locked in, man. I don't I just had three bites on a 9-in freaking glide bait in like 3 minutes. Oh! I watched him eat it. >> How big? >> Uh probably a 4-pounder. >> They got to be close. >> Dude, but they're chasing this bait in like they're enticed, dude. That's five bites. I've never had five bites on a 9-in bait back to back to back like that in my life. Oh! OH MY GOSH! >> TWIRL ON IT AGAIN. >> [laughter] >> That one looked like it might have been five, bro. I'm watching them come up and put it in their mouth and they just run away. >> Oh my gosh! >> There we go. Not a big one, though. Not what we're after. That was a cool bite, though, man. Little tiny one of the tiniest ones we caught in here. And Fletcher, we probably have I haven't checked the timer, but probably 5 minutes, bro. >> That's it? Oh, god. Holy, I just got clapped. There he is. >> [laughter] >> Oh, my god, dude, they're chasing me like crazy. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Keep him in the water. >> Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, dude, there's like five of them right Oh, oh, OH, OH, OH, OH. DUDE, IT'S JUST RIGHT HERE. Right here. Oh, my god, they were chasing like crazy. >> Dude, what [clears throat] is going on? >> Oh, my god, there were literally all four or five of them. >> Dude, I wish I would have saw that cuz I would have thrown right behind. >> gosh. >> Dude, I would have thrown right behind and they would have hit it. >> That's crazy, bro. That is crazy. I hope one of the cameras got a good shot of that. There was literally a school of about 10 of them. Oh, MY [laughter] >> YOU GOT HIM? >> [groaning] >> IS THAT HIM? >> THIS IS A FREAKING TOAD. >> THE BOAT. [laughter] HE'S GOT THE BOAT right here. Oh, my gosh, DUDE. >> OH, THAT'S GOT TO BE IT. >> IS THAT HIM? >> OH, MY GOD, DUDE, HE'S FIGHTING SO GOOD. >> OH, my gosh. Dude, they're everywhere. >> Dude, they're all under the boat. >> They're literally everywhere. >> Is that five? >> No. God, I thought that was him, dude. He was >> [sighs] >> freaking tugging. >> Dude, that was one of the most hectic experiences I've ever seen. >> Oh, it ain't never a double-up spot right there. [laughter] >> I might have had a shot at one of those. Really? >> OH, YEAH. >> GOSH. >> OKAY, THROW IT BEHIND ME. THROW IT BEHIND ME. >> YEAH, I'm going to wait till he come up. I'm going to let him come up. He'll probably He'll probably be a fish. >> giant, dude. >> Oh, yeah. He's good. >> Throw that in there. There probably will be a fish behind him somewhere. >> [snorts] >> Oh, my gosh. [laughter] Is that him? >> [gasps] >> That might be him, Fletcher. >> high three. >> That might Really? >> Four, high three, four. Oh, my god. >> Is [laughter] that the timer? >> Yes, bro. It was getting so crazy. >> Oh my god, you were fired up. >> Guys, let me tell you, man. We had a heck of a 2 days of fishing with small baits and big baits, on the lake, on the bank, everything you could ask for. We had buzzer beaters, double ups, big fish, everything except for a 5 plus pounder. But man, we hit a lot of goals and we worked our butts off. Let me know if you guys want to see another big bait or small bait video in the comment section down below. I'll catch you all there. >> If you enjoyed this video and want to watch another one, check out the video on the screen. [music]
