BIG SWIMBAIT Catches BIG BASS in TINY Creek

Oh man, I don't even know what kind of video I'm gonna even film today. Look at all this stuff everywhere. I don't even know what to throw. I have so much stuff just laid around like I don't even know what to throw. Like do we throw a crankbait? Do we throw a worm? Do we throw a jig? Do we throw a chatterbait? What do we throw? Oh, oh, it's going down. It's going down. It's going down today boys. It's going down. I think everybody knows what's about to happen. It's going down. Big swim bait showdown. We have not done a big swim bait video in a very, very, very long time. I'm excited to go out today. We're going to throw some of these big boys right here. See if we can't get a big girl to eat it.

We're going to go ahead and get tied up and we're going to go ahead and go down to a creek. We're actually fishing in a creek with big swim baits. It sounds crazy, but there's bigs in there. You guys are just going to have to wait. It's going to get crazy today. Stay tuned. We're about to go get all of them. You know, she's just a little one. Just a little one. Definitely the wrong rod to be throwing this on, but it's all right. I just don't know if I'm going to even get any bites down here, but I think next to the dam, I could get a bite. I think it could be a big one. My gosh. No way. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. No way, dude. It just came off. Oh my gosh. That was like a five or a six. I'm not even kidding. Look at this swim bait. Look at this thing. I mean, that is insane, dude. Are you kidding me? And she just jumped me off. Literally just jumped me off. Oh my goodness. Dude, I can't believe that. That's like probably the one and only bite I'm going to get. Oh my gosh. I knew that if it was going to happen, it would be up here because last time I was here, I caught a giant up here. There's more than that big one I just had. There's more than that, but it's just getting them to eat. That's going to be the issue. I can't believe that, dude. That is insane. She actually ate that thing. She actually ate it. This thing looks like a dang shark coming through the water. Oh no. I swear one just hit it. One literally just hit me right there. I'm not even kidding. One just hit me again. Not as big of a fish, but one just hit me. No way. That's it. That's the cast. That's the cast. Come on, baby. Oh, come on. How? You're supposed to be there. Oh my gosh. Another one just tried to hit it. Another one right there. It's like it's too big. I have the perfect solution. Thankfully, I brought my backpack and I have two or three other big swim baits in here. I brought just in case I would need them. I kind of came a little prepared today and I got to figure out where they're at, but we have a bull shad, which is going to be pretty money. We're going to go ahead and try this one. I also have a S waver as well, which we may end up using that. It's a smaller bait, similar to this. It's a glide bait, six inches. This one I think is either eight or 10. I don't really know how big this one is, but it's massive. That's all I know is that it's big. It's really, really big. We're going to put on this little bull shad because it's a little bit smaller. I think they'll be able to see it a little bit better maybe. I don't know. It's kind of like a bone white instead of like a shiny white. I don't know. We're going to give it a shot. Might as well. A little bit smaller. I think we'll be able to catch one on it. Okay. Bull shad. Smaller bait, different action, same general color, a lot freaking easier to cast. We're going to just give it a shot. I don't know if it's going to get eaten like that other one did, but we're going to at least try it. Definitely a lot smaller. I can't even tell it's there almost compared to that other one. I'm on a stick. Son of a gun. Have to go get it unhung. I'm not breaking this thing off. Way too expensive. Way too expensive. That rock moved. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, baby. Yes, baby. Yes, baby. Oh my gosh. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. No way, dude. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I watched her eat it. That was the coolest thing of my life. I'm not even kidding. Oh my gosh. Dude. Dude. I just watched her eat it. Oh my goodness. Oh baby. Big swim bait gets it done, dude. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. I can't believe that. I like let her take it. Dude, she was stripping drag. I have my drag tighten all the way down and she was stripping it out. Oh my goodness. That is so insane, dude. That is literally insane. We got to go over here and get my pliers. They're over here at my bag. Oh my gosh. There's a little bluegill right there. That's crazy. We just got to get her unhooked. I can't get her unhooked with my hand because he's treble hooks. All I can say is wow. Beautiful fish. That's a good four pound or four and a half pounder. She might even be five. Honestly, it's hard to say. Beautiful fish though. Such a good bass. Wow. All right, peoples. We're going to go ahead and get her back. Beautiful bass. There she goes right back into the creek. She's just sitting right there. Look at her. It is so hard to believe that there's that many big fish sitting in an area of a creek like this. It's just crazy. You can see her right there. I don't know if you guys can see her or not, but there she is. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. That is insane, dude. Literally insane. Check this out. Look at this. This is the bait I was throwing, okay? Look at the hooks. I don't really know if you guys can tell or not, but these hooks are bent. That hook right there, this one, it is jacked up. This one right here is bent out too. You can see this hook. It's bent. That fish was so strong, she was pulling drag. When she was pulling drag, she bent two of my hooks out. Literally bent them out. These hooks on this bait are supposed to be for pretty big fish. This is a big fish bait. It's pretty crazy, that fish. That just tells you those river bass are so, so strong. They're literally some of the strongest bass you can catch. Okay, I just bent my hooks back. I actually probably need to just change these out at some point with some stronger hooks, but we're just going to roll with it for right now. I just don't have any spare hooks, so yeah. I caught that fish down there, but I'm going to throw here a couple times, just see what happens, just because I kind of let it rest for a little bit. We're going to try right here. That fish came up and ate it right off the surface. It was literally insane. I watched her eat it, and then I kind of let her have the bait a little bit more because I didn't think she had it all the way. After that, it was game over. She had it, and she had it good. There was no way she was coming off. Either the line was going to break or the hook was going to break. That's it, because she was on there. May end up having to put the really, really big swim bait back on and going down there where I just wasn't throwing it. That's where she was at. Down there is usually where I have the best luck, so I might have to go try that here in a little bit. That sun's coming out. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, honestly. I'm assuming probably bad. The only good thing about that is they're going to all push down there into that shade, which will make them pretty easy to target. That is the only good thing. Got big girl tied back on. We're going to try her out down here. Maybe there's an even bigger one that wants to eat. Oh, no. Oh, no, dude. No, no, no, no, no. Dang it. She grabbed the tail. That's about a three or a four pounder. She just grabbed the tail. No way. Really? They are eating, dude. Oh, my gosh. I just got to get one big enough to eat it all the way. I think I just need a smaller bait. This one's just too big. Last cast. We're going to change out baits again. All right. This is our new bait. This is it compared to that other one. This is a much smaller bait. It's actually very similar in size to the Bullshad, a little bit bigger, but it's actually a glide bait. And I think it's going to get eaten. It has that same similar action of that throw, except it goes a little bit wider. But I think it's going to work pretty good. We're just going to have to see. This thing does sink a lot more. That was like a five pounder followed it up and then swam away because he got scared. I think he saw me. Oh, there it is again. There it is again. There it is again. It literally just followed it up again. Are you serious, dude? I don't get it. How? I think I might have to put a crankbait on because they're eating so good, dude. They're chasing me. It's just they just don't want to commit. That was like a five pounder. Literally, a five pounder just chased me up two times. But by the time that I get the bait in, they haven't eaten it. So I'm just going to try something. I know this is a big swimbait video, but I did bring a couple extras with me, like some crankbaits, and we're going to just give it a shot because I just really think that's what we need to do. I just really do. So we're going to try it. Usually I use one of these bluegill ones, but I might try to use one of these today. I don't really know. I haven't really made up my mind. I'm going to try this one. We'll see how it goes. All right. We're going to give this a shot. This is actually the mini mag and I have caught him up here before on this bait. We're going to try it again. Maybe it'll get even better than the swimbait. We'll just have to see. Yep, there she is. Oh, it's a little baby. She's fighting though. That's a river bass for you. Fighting son of a guns, dude. Little guy. Not big. Not big at all. Oh, decent fish. Decent fish. Not bad. I thought he was bigger than that, but whatever. They're so healthy. They fight so good. It's like hard to tell how good they are. Pretty awesome though. It's a good thing that they're eating. If we can't catch big ones, I'll be fine with catching those. Those are healthy. I am totally fine with catching those. Okay. So technically this is not a big swimbait. This is actually a wake bait, but it's pretty close and I'm going to try it because I've been having really good luck on this in different areas. So I'm going to try it up here. I don't think I've thrown it in here yet. I might have. I honestly just don't remember, but I think it's going to be like lights out with this thing. This thing usually gets eaten really, really good. I would not be surprised if one came and blew up on it. Not at all. Oh yeah. Like that. Like that. Like that. Good fish. Good fish. Good fish. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I knew that could happen. Okay. Stop buddy. Yeah. Yeah. I called that one. I knew that would happen. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's how we roll around here, boys and girls. That's how we roll. Look at that beautiful fish. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, nice two pounder. Go ahead. Let her go. We're slaying them right now. I'm not even kidding. We are slaying them. They are biting literally everything I throw at them. I don't think I've thrown a single thing today that they wouldn't eat. I mean, everything that I've thrown, they've hit. That's just crazy. I could get a big one on this. There is a good possibility because I've done it before. It's not here, but big ones will eat it. That's a fact. Come on. I know you're sitting there. That's where I had that big one. There it is. I don't know how big she is. I hooked it in the back. Dang dude. Well, all right then. That is not where you're supposed to hook a bass. That's a really small one. Really small one. Really small one. He'll be all right. He was hooked in the back, but he'll be okay. That one just swiped at it. That's all he did is he was just swiping. He didn't need it. He was just swiping. I didn't even see him. All I did was I could just feel it. I could feel the fish on there. That's all it was. I couldn't even see the blow up. Bigging, bigging, bigging, bigging, bigging. I don't know how big. She's a good one though. Oh, she's not even that big. Dude, she is fighting me so good. It's only like a two pounder. Wow. I am so surprised. I mean, it's a good fish, but I thought she was big dude. I thought she was big, big, but she's not. Another solid fish right there. About two pounds. They're so fat that they are about two pounds. That was another one on the crankbait. This thing's been putting in some work. Not going to lie. That old mini mag right there. I caught him before on this in another video and they're eating it again. And then I was also catching them on the speed wake. It's crazy. They're hitting anything that's any sort of shad lure. They are killing it. I mean, they are absolutely killing it. Okay. This is a last ditch effort to catch one on this big swim bait. And then we're going to probably leave this spot because we have caught the heck out of them today. So I think the fish are a little bit worn out. We're going to try to get one on this. I haven't thrown it in a minute, so maybe it'll happen. I don't know. We're just going to give it a shot. Well, I was just walking back towards my truck and we actually just found a deer skull. It's actually busted up, but there's one of the jaws right there. There's another one of the jaws right there. This is a part of the skeleton right here. That's pretty heavy. I think it's got mud all in it, but no antlers. Why couldn't we get any antlers? We just don't ever get lucky, dude. Why couldn't we get any antlers? That's all I want. I just want some antlers. We didn't get lucky though. Not this time. Maybe we'll get lucky with a fish down here though. I'm just kind of fishing my way back just because the conditions have changed since when I was here this morning. So it's worth a shot. If I can get my bin, huh? There we go. All right. Now I got the Speedwake on here. I'm going to just target the shade spots and current breaks. Those are going to be my main things. They should come up and eat this. The water is not that hot and it was cloudy all morning. And in the shade, they'll hit top water anyways. So I'm not really too worried about it. I think they'll eat it, but it's just if the fish are here or not. Because I caught so many up there at that dam, it almost makes me think that the fish moved up there, but I don't even know if they can move up there all the way. I don't know. It's a little hard I'm sure to get through that current, but those fish are stacked up up there. We are back at the house now. Just wrapped up the day and we actually had a really, really good day. I'm very, very satisfied with our performance today. Even though we did have a really big one come off on the big swim bait, we still did catch another big one. So I'm pretty satisfied. Caught a lot of fish. I'm just going to go ahead and go over what I had tied on today and what we were catching them on before I go ahead and let you guys go. So basically I used like five different baits basically while we were out there. And this is the main one that I was really trying to catch a fish on. And I just couldn't get it done, but I did have that one. It was hooked up, but it just threw the bait. I think it's because this bait is so big. I mean, this thing is massive. You can tell, I mean, look at it compared to my arm. It's crazy. This thing weighs a couple ounces. It's ridiculous, but we did manage to catch one on this. This is a bullshad. I'm not sure what size this is. I'm not like a bullshad expert, but whatever this is, caught one on this and had a couple other ones follow it. I'm pretty sure this one right here, this is a S waver and this is like a six inch glide bait. And I had two or three follow this thing up, but they just wouldn't commit to it to eat it. But this one right here definitely attracted those fish as well. This right here is the Speedwake from Sixth Sense. They're actually out of stock right now, but when they get back in stock, you guys need to go get one. I caught a couple fish off of this right here. This is becoming one of my most favorite topwater baits by far. You can tell it's a little bit beat up from where I've been using it, but they were eating this thing as well. This right here was the main workhorse for numbers today because we did catch a lot off of this. They weren't necessarily big fish, but we were catching a good amount of bass on this. I think we probably caught three or four on just this one crankbait right here. This is the mini mag from Sixth Sense. I actually caught them pretty good in a recent video on this as well. If you guys do want to go check out this mini mag crankbait right here or this wake bait right here, they're on SixthSenseFishing.com. If you use my code 8UP10, you get 10% off on anything on the site. So yeah, that's a wrap for the day. And those are the baits that we used. It's been a very, very long time since we've done a big swim bait video. Awesome day. Sun ended up coming out and it's a beautiful day now. It's a little bit hot, but overall awesome day. And that's just the kind of fishing day you want to have. You just want to have a day where you go out there, catch a big one, have a couple other ones hit it, and then reel in a couple different fish and you're good to go. And that's what we did today. Hopefully everybody enjoyed this big swim bait episode. You guys used to love them back in the day when I used to do them. All the 8UP Gang OGs remember these swim bait videos. It has been a while. It's probably been a couple of months, honestly, but I had a lot of fun filming this. I hope you guys enjoyed this.
