Strong winds and big waves on Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana posed a great challenge for Jim Wheeler and I when fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass. Yet, we still managed to catch several fish with swimbaits in the strong winds and big waves.
This video shows how we caught these fish, and includes footage of the strong winds and waves.

That lake gets brutal with weather like that. We had 45-50mph gusts last year and we got up to 3-3 1/2 footers
I like what you do I DO THE same(you don't know me but)i want to thank YOU BROTHER for teaching MY SON AJ IN SCHOOL LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO SHOW MY SPOT ON THAT LAKE FOR CATCHING WALLEYE THROUGH THE ICE😁 AGAIN THANKS BUDDY 👍
Fishing, and living on the edge. You guys Cracked alot of nice fish. Especially in the conditions you where fishing.
I guess you do not give up. But at least you catch fish when you go. It had to be rough out there. Great job.
Wow horrible conditions 😢 glad you got some bass .i dealt with the heavy sw winds at portage yesterday on lake Michigan but i got a couple of big lake trout jigging so it wasn't too bad perch are in the Calumet river now go get some 🐟🎣👍😊
