Thank you so much for sharing! Such a nice enjoyable video and I can let my grandchildren watch since no cursing which happens far more often than not on when watching what I hope will be something appropriate for them, so thank you! Nice bass! Rook is a sweetheart! Look forward to seeing more! God Bless you!
Cait and I are fishing soul mates . Except I use one lure the whole trip and for all species ..... speckles , bass , pickeral , lakers . Outfish some tough competition over decades . Same rod,reel,line and rod too. Same technique . I took two friends , who barely knew which end of a rod to hold , on different trips to the same lake and we got about 40 smallmouth total each trip with biggest about 4 lbs . Spent about 2 days fishing .Not a hard lake to get to or very big .
I loved this video! BUT… 1st: do not make fun of “old man noises” you’ll be one soon enough and those noises just become part of daily life 😆 2nd: the mepps are GRAIT lures but, as a guy whose owned a bait & tackle shop and been a licensed fishing guide, if I could only use one lure for the rest of my life, it would absolutely be the Rapala F-7 back and silver. You can use it as a top water bait, a stick/jerk bait or even deep troll it with a weight off a 3-way swivel. Just something to file away in your mental tackle box 🧐🥸 That was an amazing smallie! It was so big it was my PB too 🤣
Haha! I’m sure I will be making them soon enough. Good tip about the lure. Will pick one up. Loved that Cait just picked a random one and it worked out. Thanks for tuning in!
