It is all part of a finesse system that produces a lot more fish. Use the Gamakatsu dropshot hooks I mention, and QuickDrops and you catch more fish. The light line is important in this clear water, and imparts livelier action to the Senko or worm. The small hook is sharp and sticks them good, and is necessary with 6lb test line.
Your Ghost Motor set up with waypoints and anchor points is a NICE addition. I had to do it manually when we lived on a lake, but using my Garmin GPS and following a preplanned route of waypoints made getting home at night much easier. Nice fish in this episode of the American Lake Chronicles.
Awesome just awesome! I’m getting a bass boat (hopefully this weekend) from Tracker in Tacoma. It’ll be my first rig and I’ll be hitting up these lakes as well for some smallie action. I’ve got a bit to learn as far as boat operation and using graphs/electronics but as long as I’m throwing the right stuff when I’m out there, I should be good. Thanks for the tips and the motivation! Tight lines!
There are gigantic smallmouth bass in that lake. I've even seen guys flinging 1 ounce ball jigs with Yamamoto twin tail grubs casting from shore on foot (no boat even) with two over 25" hunkin thick, wide fish on stringers, each. Two guys, two fish each! Giant smallmouth! They were casting round ambassador baitcasters using 15lb. mono line on 8'6" fiberglass steelhead rods. A guy I knew in the military said he fishes that lake for these, in 50-80 (80!) depths with a crawdad plastic. He has a bass boat. He said there are 12 pound smallmouth bass in that lake that die of old age that have never seen a lure all their life.
A great Smallie there.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
WOW! Huge fish and great catch… but I believe you caught it one of the best bass fisherman in the country! Thanks for the video!
Thank you, Kai! Love your videos, too!
Awesome, Great fish! Every time I hear you say 6lb test I flinch, but I’m trying it out anyways.

@@marcmarcantonio Thank you sir. Hard to convince myself not to power fish all the time! Would love a crash course on it if you ever want a net man.

The latest electronics like my Ghost motor and HDS Pro-16 with dual Active Targets sure make fishing easier and more fun!
Wow!!! Beautiful pescadoro!!!!
Thanks 👍

Haven't found the 12-pounders yet, but have caught big bass in deep water there.
