A gouge is all about the size of the fish's mouth,
it's not even about the motion of the ocean.
If you use that little tiny gouge in a large mouth bass
Still got
my bait.
Let him run with it a little bit.
Give him a chance to get it in their mouth.
Oh, that was a way better bite, you're right.
But they still took my bait.
Alright, this one's a good one, I can feel her.
That would have counted
if I got him with my hand.
That would have.
Here we go.
They were like piranha that time, there was like five of them.
That guy sniped it real quick. I swear to God I caught it on this
You got three witnesses just got a fish
on a primitive thorn fish hook. Pretty cool
There's a second fish I've caught on the thorn gorge gouge
thorn gouge
We're using fish for bait
Originally was using locust or grasshopper.
They're eating those too, but they don't stay on as well
I ended up tying the fish onto the hook
so I took a piece of fish bone old fish
bone made a gouge out of it tied a piece
of bait on to see if I can get on that
one it worked I got one
on the bone gorge gouge whatever you call it all
right I caught another bluegill
this is the biggest one yet that I've caught
It's my Turley in comparison it's still pretty small
but like four times the
size of the other ones and it's on that bone that's awesome
Okay, this trumps my last one by far. This is like double
the size of the old one getting the hang of this thing. I think
