Big Bass CAN'T RESIST The Wacky Worm!

Well, that didn't take long at all. It's not a huge fish, but it is a good one to start the day on. Yeah, he came up and smashed that frog. Man, I'd like to see that. It's gonna be a fun day out here. Probably have to squeeze the water out of that fella. Well, I did find the one fish back here to get rid of the skunk early. That's always nice. I worked my way back there into that corner. It's pretty shallow looking back there, kind of swampy. I didn't really see much other than a bunch of little bluegill. So, I think we're gonna keep working our way along. I might get out of this bay a little bit. I think this is the kind of stuff that we're gonna want to look for. We're just gonna want to look for it a little bit closer to deeper water out here. So, there's a couple of spots like that. We'll paddle over and try them out. I'm gonna keep an eye out for any big fish swimming around too. I actually should get a wacky worm tied on my other rod here. I'm gonna do that real quick because every now and then you paddle right up on a big one. Chances are they probably won't hit that frog, but if you drop a wacky worm in front of them, usually gulp it up. So, I'm gonna tie that one on. That'll be our backup lure out here today. He's looking at my worm. Well, that was pretty sick. I saw that fish sitting about 10 feet off to the side of me, threw the good old wacky worm at him, and he went right over to it. Oh, look at that large mouth on the wacky worm. Geez, I just barely had him hooked there. Yeah, that's a beauty. That right there is why I always like to have that wacky worm tied on. If I'm fishing real clear water like this, see a big bass hanging out like that, just throw that worm at him. They will almost always come bite it. Well, I don't know. I've been throwing the frog out here most of the day. Not having a whole lot of luck. Caught several smaller fish, but I don't know. Maybe we'll just have to start throwing that wacky worm because I'm pretty sure I threw that frog right in front of that big one I just caught there, but he said no thanks. Oh, right as I stand up, one bites. It's not the real big one I was after, but it might still be over here too. That's not a bad fish on the wacky worm. Got him. Oh, this is a big and bad fish, you guys. Sight fishing giant bass on the wacky worm. Come here, you. Just look at the size of that large mouth, you guys. How cool is that? See him swimming around, toss that wacky worm right in front of him, get him to come pick it up. That is awesome. I'm going to measure this one real quick. 21 and just about a quarter. I might throw him on the scale too real quick. I'm going to stick him in my net for just a second here. Four pounds, 11 ounces. Yeah, that is a heck of a fish right there. Big ol' largey. All right, let's get him back in the water. Off he goes. I'm pretty sure I might have to just put the frog away at this point and focus on wacky worming. I mean, I'm catching them on the frog, but they're all about that size. Maybe a little bit bigger, but not much. That wacky worm, on the other hand, has been catching some absolute tanks. That's actually a pretty decent fish right here. Decided to give that wacky worm a cast out into deeper water. Had a nice little thump on it. Surprise. Nice largey. I'm getting some nice ones out here on that wacky worm today. Something chased that worm there. Probably just a bunch of blue. There we go. This feels like a good one. Oh, yeah. Come here, you. Wow. Geez, look at this fish. Almost looks like he's got a tumor on his stomach or something there. Look at that. That's crazy. He's got a full belly and he's still trying to eat. Another nice one on the wacky rigged Senko. I'm just throwing that thing out into some deeper water now. I don't even have my fish finder with today, so I kind of know the layout of this lake, though. There's somewhat of a hump that extends out here and it's usually got some nice cabbage weeds on it. As we get to about mid-summer, probably starting to grow in. You can kind of see them down there. A little bluegill. Looks like there was a whole bunch of bass beds back here. I'm assuming that's what those are. Not much up there now, though. Might be worth checking out the shallows back here in this little bay. We'll paddle through at least. See if we see any big bass hanging out. That's a nice one. Don't worry, I'm going to back off. Definitely not going to throw a watermelon gold flake worm at you, so if you see one of those, don't don't worry. It's not me. There's a nice one right over there. Just splashed my worm up in front of him. He's going to look at it. He's eyeing it. Got him. Hello there. Yeah, there's a couple nice ones hanging out up shallow here. I don't think they're on beds. I didn't see any beds in that area. That one came over and said hello to my wacky worm. All right, you guys, it's about that time of day for me to head back to my truck and call it quits. It's starting to get kind of warm out here. I'm running low on water. I honestly wasn't planning on staying out here this late today, but I got out here early this morning, threw the frog around the first, I don't know, three or four hours. Caught a whole bunch of little bass. Just could not get the bigger ones to go for that frog, though. So, I switched it up, tied on a wacky rigged Jungdinger, and we caught some absolute tank largemouth with that wacky rig out here today. That 21 and a quarter, that's an easy five pounder. Pretty much any other time of year, it looked like it was all spawned out, though. I tell you what, that is a good old time when you can paddle around, see those fish up shallow, throw that worm in front of them, and watch them inhale it. Yeah, I had a blast out here today. I hope you guys enjoyed it, too. Thanks for coming along with me again. I'll see you next time.
