Another lights out trip for the secret spillway! You got to explore a lot more around the spillway this time. It seems the largemouth were swarming and other times it was more smallmouth. Maybe they will come back during Sept.-Oct. That inlet where the fast water spills around the corner into the eddie looks pretty textbook. I bet there are some big cats hanging there.
Yeah maybe, the earliest I fished here last year was late August and mainly went in September. So maybe the smallies will show up later on. I already have my next video here filmed but after that I would like to come back and try worms or cut shad to mix it up. Thanks for watching, man!
Yeah the largies definitely took over. Don't worry though I found another smallie dam in next weekends video 😎. You already saw some pics of it in the IBFC group chat
You got some pretty cool locations to target those fish! Also those whopper ploppers are fantastic for targeting fish with topwater, they are a little expensive but they are no joke!
Yeah, I'm definitely fortunate to have this spillway nearby. They may be expensive but it's also almost impossible to lose them to snags so the cost-to-usage ratio is pretty low. Worth it IMO. Thanks for watching, man!
IT'S A BIGGUN LOL. Dude you did catch some tanks though. Epic day!! I really like the look of those yellow Bass. Looked like a mix between a Striped Bass and a Swordspine Snook.
a lot different looking then last time u were there. 1st cast!! 💪 3 1/2lber soild 2nd lm bass. wow!!! trying to get away from calling them asian carp....smh. smallie was solid that u lost. what a great outing. That spillway is awesome! Ill check out Ben's channel!
GET THE NET! I've got a three pounder hooked LoL. I've never tried using a net Bass fishing I've considered it for Smalley's because a couple times them treble hooks came close to sticking me. I use a net for musky and pike when I'm using lures with treble hooks it would suck to have a 40" fish hooked to your hand. I got a couple 60s I want to try this summer I think it's going to be great for Smalley's and slab panfish I think big basst in clear water and smaller rivers will smoke it.
@@EngineeringHooksets so you take another "youtube"er there, but won't name it? I'm not going to take your spot, so guess it really don't matter to me.
@@bryankaylor2225 that other "youtuber" was the one who showed me this spot. Also he's my friend in real life, it's not like we're just trying to piggyback off each other's subscribers. I have no problem sharing spots with my real life friends, that doesn't mean I have to tell everyone on the internet.
@@EngineeringHooksets you right...being kinda d-bag about it saying "down by the river" isn't necessarily the best way. Just say you aren't revealing the location
The whopper plopper is the 🐐 that lure is a killer
I love the whopper plopper
@@TacomNamm last night caught 7 doing a stop and go Cadence
Whoa…. That place is loaded with fish! Great fishing! 👍🙏🎣⚒
Thank you, JU! Hammah!
That place looks awesome! You caught so many fish, and I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Dang man you slayed that spot!
Thank you, sir
guess the smallies are packed in that faster current closer to the dam along the rocks- dang those largemouth have taken over. Some great fish Matt

@@EngineeringHooksets would totally agree on the whopper plopper, that’s one you just spend the money on; the knock offs just don’t quite cut it IMO.
That place is money for sure.
Hopefully Knoxville has some spots like this 🤞

You’re going to lose your mind when a “biggun” is actually a biggun. 😂😂
They're all bigguns in my eyes 😅

Great fishing but no need for the net every fish 😂
I mean I only pulled it out for 3 fish and one got off. Thanks for watching!
Should always change your good out on every lute.
ok i need to go to that spot asap
If you happen to find it, please don't tell anyone else where it is. Good luck!
Is this in illinois?
This is the lake Menderchuck spillway. Thanks for watching!
What reel do you use in the Video?
Spinning reel is the favorite sick stick 2000 (would not recommend, drag is very clunky). Casting reel is the lews speed spool
What spillway is this?
The one down by the river. Lol sorry man

@@bryankaylor2225 I was just trying to be lighthearted and funny about it..
CHINA carp, LOL
Lol
When I get 2k subs I’m dropping my next mixtape :) 💿
No one ever got famous advertising themselves in someone else's comments 💀
Get a net with rubber coated mesh. Thank me later.
@skylerbrycesmith Ive actually been using one for well over a year now. They're great!
