Testing testing one two new camera two three new camera all right
What's going on guys?
Didn't realize how much I like making YouTube videos until we dumped the camera in the water
And then we couldn't get any actually decent quality content for a while
But new camera back got the chesty on got a dash cam all running three cameras today
So we should get some good angles get some good shots bow out here today on a small
Little local lake very small very local very much
So a lake and we're trying to catch us a bass or two
It's early March now should really really be biting flip an ace jig around swim and punish your swim jig around a lot a little bit
And hopefully catch the dang big in or two so without further ado. Let's go
What type of electronics are you using today to find these fish
Graphite blank
Let's pick up the old swimming jig one time
This is a we went pretty compact with it
right here a
lot more compact
Took off the white punish here because it was getting some short strikes
I had a big big bulky trailer on it catch a lot of water
We want a lot more compact right here, so it's gonna let the bait get down a
Little bit deeper. It's not gonna be quite as fun to fish with cuz you're gonna be to watch it all the way back to
the boat quite as good
but
Should get a bite or two on it
these two docks right here should be
Took my chunk. How's it going to?
Talk to look at this. They might be beds actually
Took my dad gum chunk. Did you see him right there?
What you didn't see him how big was
We'll skip underneath. I'm trying to pause for you
see if that touch in
my opinion
It's just whoever the coach thinks is the worst and and it makes no difference what nobody else is
big and oh your heart
Look at that ace bass. How about that ace bass?
Opinions ain't really part of it
He's right there beside that tree
Look, look at that donk
He got a donk in his face
How about that for a donk fish?
dang doe donk fish
It's a big four pounder
Not bad. That's a male. He's got bulging guys. That's a male
Four pound male
Little ace bass. Oh
Don't don't
How are you ready for your question? Well, what are you ready for your question? I'm ready. Let's do some questions. So
What are we doing? I haven't been briefed on this. These are
Frequently asked question in the comment section of YouTube or Instagram or Instagram
So everybody that asks questions all the time, and maybe I don't respond to them. I appreciate you asking them
We're about to get to them right now. So here's the FAQs. I guess it'd be called
Okay, number one, what is your favorite color if you only had to have one HG
green pumpkin green
Pump and one it's just you can catch them all the time on it year-round the water gets extremely stained
You do need to go to a black and blue or BB smoke, but green pumpkin pretty much catch them
Nine months out of the year probably so it's all good. Next question. Are you ready? Hey, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay explain
The power and action of your crankbait and bladed jig rod and why I need a detailed explanation
My bladed jig rod that I'm skipping around docks most of time is a 7 foot 3 medium heavy fast and the reason that is
It's so important to get the cast to be extremely precise and like make it make as small of a splash as possible
But I want to stay with the 7 foot 3 medium heavy fast
That's the rod that I'm the best at casting with and I can really control that bait having that fast action
Crankbait rod on the other hand. I'm not usually casting it quite as tightly
so I use it like a 7 foot medium medium heavy moderate and
That rod just really loads all the way down to like almost a real seat
It really has a lot of give to it. So I'm using like a small treble hook like a number 6 and number 5 treble hook
I'm not gonna pull the the hooks too hard and rip a hole in the fish's mouth end up losing that fish
So that's the reason I use both of the powers and actions I use
Okay, frequently asked question number three. What do you like and dislike about your tour?
Okay, so the reason I decided to go with a motor guide tour Pro for one
It has an extremely powerful motor. It's 109 pounds of thrust
But in this boat right here
I can easily go 2.7 to 3 miles an hour and when I'm looking for bed fish and stuff like that
It's extremely important
You know
Obviously now there's a couple more trolling motors that just came out that have even more power can go even faster than that
But whenever I first started using this trolling motor
It was like with fastest one on the market and I know fast trolling motors are not a huge deal
But I do keep it on 10, you know
very very often and it's also a very very quiet trolling motor for some reason people leave comments saying it's loud for one that is
A charger that I have in the boat that converts power from the 12-volt to like an actual phone charger
Like like a wall outlet and it you know, it actually has like a fan in it
So that's what you're hearing most of time when you say it's a trolling motor and what that does it gives me a ton of
Power to like a laptop or my GoPro batteries or whatever it is that I'm using and the trolling motor is actually
Quieter than other trolling motors
I don't know where y'all are getting that from if you put up any other brand trolling motor on here and put it on a hundred
Like I leave mine on a hundred. It's gonna be extremely noisy as well
Okay, Kyle question. Mm-hmm. If you could go back and redo one thing on Tennessee River, what would you change?
I would change my rotation on day one
I think I have found a couple of extremely good areas and definitely some extremely good stretches, but I believe I
Genuinely believe that I hit them at the wrong time
Because on day two and day three I would hit the same banks
Two or three different times or the same little stretches or isolate a little rocks or something
I'll hit them two or three times and I'll and there was a certain
Feeding window that was at a certain time of the day and on day one
There was two major feeding windows and I missed them both in my good areas
So if I could go back
I think I could dial in the feeding windows a little bit better and be at my best spots at the right time
And I think I'd catch a limit both days on day three
I dialed it in but I lost two or three keepers and only weighed in four so day three
I didn't make it happen
But on day two and day one, I feel like I could have did a little bit better by the right feeding windows down pat
alright, so we wanted to go ahead and
Answer a couple of the questions that y'all had and also we went out and flipped a little ace jig around a little bit on
My local lake somehow still we're in the bad rotation with the cameras had one freeze
had the dash cam freeze whenever I caught like three or four fish and
Had the chesty off due to a dead battery for most of that time as well
So miss like three or four fish catches. That's how it goes
At least we got the big one on video and we're about to go fishing again
