Today we are doing some topwater bass fishing with a weightless fluke vs popper. Spring bass fishing with topwater can be hit and miss, especially if the water temperature is unstable. But if you can find some aggressive fish, you might just catch a big bass. I caught bass on both the popper and the fluke, but the fluke caught the bigger fish today, 3-4 lbs! I was simply dragging it across the top of the weeds and pausing when I got to open water. The bass I caught on the popper was also in shallow water about 5 feet from the bank.

Awesome bass on the fluke? What size fluke did you use paired with the 3/0 Ewg hook?
Nice bass 🎣 looks like you have fun
That is an awesome bass!! Cant wait for summer ☀️
What a fish!! Holy cow!! Nice 👌
You should try the Ozark Trail poppers, they’re like 2 bucks a piece, I just bought one of every color, they’re awesome!
Where are you at on Old Hickory? I live in Hendersonville and fish Lock 3 there mostly.
Realistic fishing honestly is it on to use your phone if no access to go pro for fishing cbannel start up?

Nice toad! Careful, keep catching those the googan sponsorships will come knocking.
I really love the action on those Z-Man flukes and that smoking shad is my favorite color. My only issue with it though is I struggle with keeping it rigged properly as it tends to slide down the hook. I've used EWG's with keepers with better success, but then after you catch a fish, its nearly impossible to slide the lure back down over the keeper. Luckily they are incredibly resilient baits…almost to a fault.
Can’t believe how empty it is there in New Jersey it would be 500 people in that parking lot
Good stuff man! I can't wait till they start hitting this top water down here
Very VERY nice LMB from the shore on public waters.
What's your LMB PB up to nowadays?
I cant say its one of my favorites but weightless flukes can land you some nice fish 👊👍🎣
🔥
Solid bass on that fluke!!! I need to try that where I fish. Keep it realistic!
I like your attitude : Keep it realistic and normal.
we got snow, we got trout here in NY. the spring weather just not here yet!!!!
I'm a little late to the party, are the fries still available? 👍🍺🎣
Great video!! The top water bite is still a little slow here but I’m hoping it will pick up soon. I enjoyed your catches 👍👍
Any body else get the buffalo commercial 🤔🤔🤔
Yesss, nice bass on that fluke!
Dude! What a nice fish!
Congrats on the bass!
What size line were you using? I'm still new to using a baitcaster and can't cast weightless soft plastics for the life of me. I usually run 14-15lb mono, I'm wondering if I should downsize a little so I can cast lighter stuff more effectively.
The popper is really cool in theory, but I never catch a damn thing on it.
nice bass cant wait to get out and fish if they ever end the lock down in my state
Springtime brings the bass in. Unfortunately it also brings the garbage morons. Congrats on the catches.
It sure is a shame that I can't catch a fish on a popper because I love to catch fish on topwater lures.
Hey man you should bring back the Tokyo rig
Realistic Fishing😊
Spring has sprung! Nice big bass you caught there.
Nice! Glad to see the bass are starting to liven up for you. Fishing as been so hit or miss here in central Arkansas the past couple of weeks.
Awesome Alex!
How can anyone give a thumbs down on these videos? Assholes
What!! No 700 dollar combo for flukes and 20 different rods for 20 different baits how do you catch fish (sarcasm)
Nice fish on the Fluke. Enjoyed the trip
Nice catch bro, I bought a yo-zuri 3db popper on clearance over the winter think I might go toss it around now that the weathers gotten better
That was a nice looking bass. Havent seen you fishing at the lucky/unlucky spot. Is it closed?
Looks like your fishing going pick up.
My state (WV) gave everyone free fishing this month so every lake,pond,stream and mud hole has 1000 people fishing in it. Went to 2 different small lakes today and couldn’t even put my boat in because there was no where to park. Each lake is 300 acres or below and has parking for around 100. As you know all water doesn’t hold fish so you end up with 10 people trying to fish the same weed line. I am going to buy me a rain suit and just fish on the rainy days. Maybe then I can find the peace and quiet I fish for.
I haven't ever tried a fluke before. Looks like a good bait to try. I liked the bass you caught with it. Was it about a 3 pounder?
Now you can really smile after tough times!
That hook set lol
Great video. Gonna try them flukes alittle more
Nice catches. Keep up the great content.
