- Fall Fishing in East Tennessee on the Holston River for Striped Bass
(Striper). We were Trolling for Striped Bass (Striper) using XL Savage Gear Swimbaits on Leadcore Line. The Bite was Hot and Nearly every hookup included a Double or Triple as well as one Quad hookup with only 3 people on board. It was Insane Fun! It is a very long video but there were just so much great footage i couldnt leave out! I hope you enjoy! Thanks For Watching!

Awesome!
It's on fire up there. 👏
Hey, thanks for keeping it family friendly @ 8:30
Yea I was having some technical difficulties with the pants I chose to wear lol. So had to get creative lol. Thanks for watching
If your able, showing more of the fish to the camera or the release would be much appreciated in your future videos. It just nice to see your catches up close to truly appreciate your monsters. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and for the suggestions! Keep watching and we will try to show more up close footage in the future! Thanks!
I agree! Once the fish is in your hands and you can appreciate its design is my favorite part of fishing!
Stripers are my all time fav fish to catch.. I always try a use the most light setup possible to make it that much more fun n challenging.. Great vid!!
Looks more like in a lake than Holston river!
Great video! Looks like a lot of action and a good trip, looking forward to more videos from you all!
+Bradley Dodrill Thanks Bradley it was a blast! Thanks for watching
great video man! good times
Thanks Bud!
Great Job David!
Thank you for this video I need to see something like that I'm from New York City Brooklyn Keep up the good work
+deenice57 Thanks for watching!
Nice fish, where did you get your 3 rod holders at
Beautiful stretch of river. Is this above or below Cherokee?
Good trip, thanks for sharing. That river is over 100 miles long, could you share location 😊. I also saw a video you did on moss lake, KM my home town. Thanks again G.
Hey thanks for watching, I would start at Cherokee and up. We are from Gastonia so we are neighbors!
Great video! I would love to do a collaboration with you sometime in the future! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like you guys had a blast. I just posted some videos of our recent trip to Boone lake a little further up the river chain
it was a blast, theres alot of good fishing up there for sure. Wish we lived closer lol!
Nice, I am going to head over to your channel and check it out! I have fishing a lot on Cherokee Lake and getting into the Crappie! Come on over and check out the action! It would be cool to all get together and do a video together!
I was wondering what lb test you’re running on the leadcore? And do you run any mono backing and how many colors out? Thanks! Loved the video!!
Hey we were using 27lb microtuff leadcore no backer since I am running 200yds on a 303d okuma reel. 20 colors plus a 50 ft leader 25lbs in this case is all they will hold. Thanks for watching!
Nice, but can you talk more about your setup and how you are rigging it up to the down rigger?
+Icarus sisyphus
On the down rigger we just put them out about 40ft, clip to the down rigger and drop the ball down to the desired depth! Super easy
@@merceroutdoors Thanks buddy
The Savage Gear swim baits y'all used, were they the 7 or 10" and what color? I see they don't off a true gizzard shad color. Thanks and great videos!!
+@michaelgarrett3622 we were using the 10” primarily that day I believe. We do use 8” alot as well
That youngest one looks like he'd rather be playing video games!!! "Do I have to reel or can I pause it?"
He was pretty tired .you know it’s been a good day when you get tired of reeling! Thanks for watching
How do you guys spool a reel with lead core line?
Just like you would any other line it’s basically a hollow braid line with a lead core so treat it like braid. I like the microtuff brand as it’s thinner and I can get 200yards or 20 colors on a 30size reel. Without backer.
Then I run a 50’ 25lb leader connecting the two with a micro swivel. 50’ is not necessary but helping when you get hung up, usually u can position over your lure and run a retriever down your line without damaging the leadcore
Really nice rig. What’s the flooring in your boat?
+David Brugh it’s seadek . There are other similar Eva foam flooring brands but I think seadek was kinda the first. It was already in the boat when I got it and I love it
Where abouts on the holston are you and where did you launch from?
We were above Cherokee so really where ever is closest to you on the middle to upper half of the lake works .fish are probably moving back down by now anyway, I’m guessing they will run back up river come spring though
Above John Seaver power plant?
Somebody please take that net from that guy. He’s going to knock someone over.😅
great video, please pull up the pants and wear a belt. lol i live East Tn and dont want to see that look
Yea we definitely had a issue going on there and left the belt in NC lol. footage was too good to waste so I done the best i could, editing the footage! Thanks for the support
Omg take the clicker off when reeling in
