Wow! That mirror lake in the early morning light looked so fishy …. and it was! Henceforth to be known as Big Bass Lake. Great video Matt.
Compared to Large mouth bass, small mouth bass have such beautiful patterns. Wish I had them around where I live to catch as they also seem to put up more of a fight too.
They definitely put on a show and fight like crazy. All of them are nice Healthy fish! Thanks 🙏🏼
😊
Thanks so much for your great shows.
That crawler is money.
Your videos help prevent a depressing day. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
What kind of kayak do you have?
Great time to get out for early fall bass fishing. They're definitely fond of topwater lures and I do love a crawler bait. Just finished a 4 day in western Michigan. Not many pike but the largemouth and smallies made up for it in quality with decent numbers. My best was 18.5 smallmouth on a Choppo 90, my brother had a solid 18 inch largemouth bass and 17.75 smallie. Glad you guys got on a bite. Blessings Matt
amazing video fishing
Wow. Wish that I could catch a big ass fish every cast.😮 Awesome video!
Oh My! 🎣🏆
All the fish you caught on this day were fat and healthy !
damn i wanna fish with you
Dang nice bunch of smallies!!!!
I’m always amazed by the amount of quality fish this guy catches. His friend catches a giant and says 5.2 like it’s nothing. Hey, my personal best is only 5.3!
there isnt anywhere around here in PA with water as nice looking as the places you get to fish. Super jelly.
Glad to see you're having very good luck up north. Been nothing but frustrating down in the southern part of the metro for me!
Do you go for salmon?
I used to be so intrigued by my dad’s bee-colored Crazy Crawler. It was an old wooden plug that was so old that it was cracked. I’ve bought and lost several since then. I catch a lot of bass on it but also used to catch huge pike on them on the Yukon back in Alaska. Great lure!
Last year an fishing buddy hooked me in the head with a double 10 bucktail musky fishing. Knocked me out cold and put two divots in my skull, and 25 stitches. Wear your sunglasses and pick you fishing buddies wisely my friends.
Do you ever take some home for dinner?
Almost identical to my Heddon Crazy Crawler from 1954. My Crawler is still mounted on my South Bend Smoothcast reel and 4’ steel rod that my dad bought me in ‘54. Hasn’t been used in about 65 years, but maybe I should take it out.
Happy 🎣❤️
For the first little one, you should have called it a 'smallie smallie'. This is why I have no friends. 😁
Locust thing/June bug vibe died n molted as they do. Great to use for pranks their exoskeleton
Caught my first king salmon today a good one wasn’t huge but was good got em in the freezer now 🍣
Why do you switch the rod to the other hand after each cast? Some reels have crank on the left. Seems like extra work.
Are they the kind of fish people can't eat?
Phenomenal absolutely! Phenomenal.
You caught some nice smallmouth bass 🎣🐟 Do you ever do a catch and cook YouTube video?
Your brave!
All it takes is a few shakes & those treble hooks are buried in your hand
I’d use a tool
When it lands give it a little tug to set it the right direction and that will get bit a bunch
I call that lure my "alarm clock" cuz it wakes everyone up.
Popping it works as well
Did anyone else hear that there are two new black bass what species found in Georgia USA and they are Native species
I get mildly jealous watching these videos. There's nowhere within 500 miles of me (California) that has smallie fishing even half as good as what you have there. Probably 1000 miles.
A crawler with a propeller sounds like a deadly combination.
Nice 🏃♂️ guys .
Great action as always
Could please do another video on float fishing?
Love,
Sam
Great day! ♥
I was just wondering if that ever happened to lol
Second man caught an absolute unit
Awesome video……….
