I've got to get me one of those bird luires. Love that action and of course all the catches you had!!!
The Bob Ross of fishing
The one at 8:40 was just angry!
I can understand Pike but wouldn't have thought Small mouth would be eating a bird lure!
What is your biggest smallmouth?
There's something wrong with that lake to have that much algae in it.
Very cool video and again amazed by the lure choice. Title is very cheeky too. I have to agree with some others and yesterday on the creek proved that to get a smallmouth to come back twice at a bait is rare, 3 times a gift. Lake looked absolutely serene. Blessings Matt
Loves the vids, but I have an honest question. Have your river hot spots been blown up since Covid/ and or your vid’s? I know I’ve been river kayaking for a long time and I’ve seen my spots get a ton of people since Covid and some apps that post spots. I’ve had my vehicle damaged three times, continuously find trash and so on. The only plus is that these people don’t know how to catch fish. They try, but always go past like are you catching? I’ve only caught two….meanwhile it’s a 50 fish day for me. I always respond with… no only a couple of mutant looking fish, lol.
Absolutely cracking video, love your respect for your catch…..none of the 'just throw them back' approach. Regards from England.
Another awesome video well done
Where did u get that lure!!
"Decent" Here in Arkansas I'd call those smallies "goodun's"..
Awesome Catches & Awesome Video..
But, everyone does realize that 95% of these fish are eating this bait off reaction or thinking this topwater commotion is baitfish..
They aren't biting this lure bc they actually think it's a real bird. Wakebaits do Kill in late Summer/Early Fall… Keep the video coming? Love watching em
Nice 🏈's
When most people think smallies they think deep offshore with a dropshot or ned rig. This guy's catching them in shallow weeds on a purple topwater bird and slaying them…that's why I love your channel man 👊👍
You ever thrown the r2 sea swaver? Got some pretty cool action under water
What kayak does he use?
Nooo one more cast !!!!!!!!
Hey just for shits and giggles troll on the way back to the dock
I really appreciate you taking me fishing .best show on the internet
You should invest in a drone for when you’re exploring new lakes like this, that way you can fly it across to scout instead of making the trek to find out it’s the same. Love the videos, thank you again for making them for us ❤
Correction : everyday is a good day for kayak fishing.
Trying out a new lake, is what I spend about 80% of my fishing time doing lol.
When I saw that truck, I thought you were back at the traffic lake with all the road noise. Nice fishin’.
Fishing as many trebles as you do, still dont know how youve managed to not swap to a rubber mesh net.
I thought I saw a big turtle swimming under water on the right side of the boat at the end of the video.
Living Legend~
Do you eat these bass?
Nice quality Fish Sir!!
Who makes your measuring board? I’m having trouble finding one that isn’t plastic. Great video as always!
