As a fellow TN fisherman, I appreciate your efforts to keep our waters clean and that you portray all aspects of fishing. Even the fails and skunk days.
I know like u the shore because it is more realistic fishing to us regular Folk... But man you slay on that boat... And it is a realistic boat. clean, simple, not over the top...realistic
I am glad you got to use the bait ball I sent you! Awesome watching you hook into some great fish👍. Also nice knowing your using lures I send you. Once again great work and awesome video 👊
So jealous. I've had days like or similar to this on private waters, but never, EVER on public waters. congrats and thanks for sharing (also, glad u keep some to eat :- )
When the white bass are running heavy in the fall and especially in the spring it's a great time for anyone to take kids out. You can literally have a strike every cast when you find them. They taste great, too.
Those White Bass are fun, under rated fish. You were really on them! I enjoy catching them as much as any fish. The boat opens up so many opportunities to catch fish! Keep it up.
I really appreciate that you looked up the regulations on how many you could keep. Not everyone takes the time to quickly check out the laws. And the way those bass were swarming was awesome. That boat has been such a good investment for you.
that was crazy seeing all those fish jumping at once and good to see they were biting. couple nice largemouth bass you caught at the end of the day. Awesome day fishing
What a great day, the conditions were in your favor, a light rain, and busting fish, and the weightless paddle-tail swimbait is one of my favorites for Bass in the Grass!
Hi Alex, what a great episode. It's so great when you take us out for a boat ride AND we get to help you muscle in all those assorted bass from our armchairs. I don't have a boat so getting to come with you is realistically special. Thanks from me and the great white North.
RF, you had more fun than the law allows. Wow, nice drizzly day in Tennessee, big lake, boat, whites and Largies....you do realize you're in heaven, right? When I was about your age and lived in Oklahoma, I had a boat and a total blast fishing big Oklahoma and Kansas lakes. Catching whites, walleye, channels and flatheads (trolling with crankbaits and a Flasher to show depth) all summer and into the late fall was exciting even in the dark ages before digital photography and UA-cam. Chasing big schools of white bass busting shad all over the place was also really FUN! Bring several rods rigged with a buzzbait, swimbait and crankbait and maybe even an in-line spinner (white is ideal) and keep clobbering those amazingly fierce fighters! Have a good week. Don
You are by far one of my favorite fisherman out there. You have respect and you're so humble and real. I appreciate you, and thank you for all you have shared. This being one of my favorite episodes on your channel as well. Your excitement and experience warms my heart. Keep it going and keep it realistic brother. Again thank you. 😊
You can tell you had a good trip today. You were truly smiling at the end! Nice job with those fish and glad to see you finally keep some. Keep those videos coming!
I’m glad you are branching out with new techniques. One day the stars will align and you’ll have one of those largemouth days where you get a shot at a true giant, better make sure your ready
Alex, I am running late on your videos, I was upstate NY fishing for LM bass this week. I can't recall your having used spinner baits in the past. I had a lot of good fortune this past week with a dressed Mepps #5 Black Fury inline spinner, black blade w/ yellow dots. (There are a lot of varieties of these.) I didn't get it on sale but it was well worth the $5 or $6 I spent on it. I also have luck with H&H spinners. They have a double hook rather than treble that helps them to stay weed free. They are out of Louisiana and generally inexpensive. I used to find them in the stores when I lived in the South but now I have to order online. But, anything that catches fish is good! As always, thanks for the videos and the tips.
I'm from Big Stone Gap, VA but as a kid often fished the Clinchport river. When I was 12 I caught a big white stripe bass on a rooster tail and planned to take it home. I stood up to pull my stringer out of the water with a pretty good size bass on the end for supper. I quickly discovered a turtle had came along and made a snack of my catch. Fished a lot in Kingsport, TN and Rogersville, TN also as a kid.
Most excellent! Release to the Grease! Really great day. Enjoyed the video. For your viewers that don’t know yet, those twist get pretty bad if you reel when the drag is slipping. Just had to change the line on my wife’s reel due to the same issue.
Like those white and yellow bass you catch down there. Don't have them up here in NJ. Couple of places have stocked hybrids white bass/striper mix, but have never caught one. Excellent work brother .
Amazing video! I have not seen many videos on white bass and it’s interesting to watch you catch them. Maybe one day i will go catch them and record it on my channel.

Someone's got to keep it realistic 😎
Wilderness In Progress howdy from northeast tn
@@puckettfishing7452 hello from Middle TN
Glad to see an angler who's caring enough to pick up litter from others. Good man! Most folks would just walk by.
@@thefishermanz8349 I'm in Hendersonville and I love this channel because he fishes Old Hickory lake like I do.
Bro you straight were the bass slayer today! Awesome job!

Thanks again 👍
@@RealisticFishing I found a box of old wooden lures I've been meaning to send you. When I get time I'll send em out👊
So jealous. I've had days like or similar to this on private waters, but never, EVER on public waters. congrats and thanks for sharing (also, glad u keep some to eat :- )
White bass have a bad rep as being no good to eat. But IMO if you eat them the same day and clean them correctly they are really good.
I always heard they were good to eat...
We had no prob eating them down in New Mexico... yum. 😎
Yeah you have to cut the red meat out. Then they are great to eat.
They are good to eat but are much much better fresh rather than frozen and then cooked.
Fishermen Cork they look a lot like a striper, and that’s what we do to stripers in California
Catching those fish 🎣 makes for a nice day no matter the weather. Thank you for showing how realistic fishing is done!
Holy cow, thats trully the best fishing day, looked like you were pan fishing pulling one after another, glad you had fun! Thanks for sharing!
I had a blast!
Always fun riding along with RF. !👍👏🏻💪🏻👊🏻
Thanks for riding along 👍

One of the few fish I keep 👍
I've loved following your progress as an angler! It's really inspired me to get after it.
Those White Bass are fun, under rated fish. You were really on them! I enjoy catching them as much as any fish. The boat opens up so many opportunities to catch fish! Keep it up.
I didnt know they were underrated?
@@RealisticFishing They don't seem to get the respect like Bass do. At any rate, they are one of my favorite fish to catch!
I really appreciate that you looked up the regulations on how many you could keep. Not everyone takes the time to quickly check out the laws. And the way those bass were swarming was awesome. That boat has been such a good investment for you.
I am happy to be out there learning the boat life 👍
I love catching white bass! They’re a blast when they hit. They make great fried fillets.
They sure do
Awesome day of fishing. Plus you got something good to eat
It was great 👍
Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee what a video 📹 👏 so much action!! Nice Nice white bass!
that was crazy seeing all those fish jumping at once and good to see they were biting. couple nice largemouth bass you caught at the end of the day. Awesome day fishing
Thanks for watching hop. Do the fish bust the surface like that where you live?
@@RealisticFishing they bust the surface pretty good sometimes. i like fly fishing when they are busting like that
literally subbed to this channel purely because of the intro. the intro is my life! great channel.
Thanks!
Great day out there Brother. Keep them coming and hopefully you have many more days like these.

Oh man, inline spinners are why I got so much line twist. 😅
Catch and cook. Nice white bass fishing 👍😎👍🐟🐟🐟❤❤
Great day! White bass are a blast to catch and good to eat.

Wow what a great day of fishing, so many fish on so many different lures. Way cool, keep it realistic!
One hell of a day fishing Alex. Way to go

It was a great day 👍
You crushed it out there! Those white bass were awesome!
Oh yeah!
Awesome video. Enjoyed watching you catch those white bass they look like they’re fun to reel in.
I could tell you were having a good time with those white bass, then you started hitting the largemouths, great fishing day.
What a day on the boat, between the sound of the fish taking line and the sound of the aerator that was just food fir the soul right there!
What a day!
You had some great fun making this video. Keep it real.
Sure did 👍
Watching fish blow up on the surface is amazing. Awesome footage!!!
Its so exciting!
Now that's a fun day of fishing. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
What a great day on the water. Love it. Great score.
👍👍
I’m glad you are branching out with new techniques. One day the stars will align and you’ll have one of those largemouth days where you get a shot at a true giant, better make sure your ready
I hope I am!
Crazy seeing them bust on the surface like that!
They are pushing the shad up to the surface 👍
Alex, you where dialed in on them white bass. Also nice large mouth bass as well. Great day out on the boat.
Oh yeah. #learning 👍
Saw you I’m chunky cats fishing live stream, nice bass you caught today!
Amazing day buddy, it would be cool to see you cook up those fish.
I dont know that I would do it any differently than everyone else.

Big day on the water!! Lot of fish to clean. Enjoy!
😁👍 Those look fun to catch...that stripper was SWEET!
Tough little guy!
Today was one of my best days fishing here in Tennessee. I was fishing from my kayak
👍
That looks like a great day on the lake. Great job!
It was awesome!
White bass in the jumps=true happiness

Rain and overcast had the fish feeding wild.
Never knew the difference between white bass and stripers, awesome 😎
😎
White bass are so much fun to catch! Good eating too! Enjoy
What a great venture out man! You killed it!
Keep up the great work,Alex!
Thanks Kong, Ill try 👍
Man man man!!!! Gotta love a day like that!! Awesome job!
👍👍
What a great day on the boat! Overcast, rain but you found a feeding frenzy of White Bass and you were catching on everything! Grats!
I like those overcast rainy days 👍
I love your boat. It's got a classic look. Reminds me of me grandpa's boat.

nice to see you had an awesome day fishing. amazing video as always.
I enjoy all of your videos Alex, but especially when you take the boat out. I would love to see more.
Great trip Alex! You had some good action that day! Awesome job man!
Thanks for watching NFA 👍
Crazy how active they were! Nice vid Alex, still waiting for my day to get on some white bass
If you can find shad, you can find white bass 👍
Great job Alex! Way to smash them on all the different baits! Love watching those schooling white bass! Keep up the great videos!
Nice!!!! Now that’s how you get into fishing. I never seen so much fish in one spot like that Great Job bro!!!
👍👍
What a great day you had... I fish in the rain too, I always say "the fish are already wet!" LOL
You know its a good day when you have to look up the limit!
I can't like this video enough. Awesome day on the water and making miss selling my boat so much.
Time for a new one?
As soon as I move back to Georgia I'll find another used boat for sale and get one.
Awsome video and keeping it realistic when fishing in the sprinkle rain
Love the boat, man.
If I ever run into you, for sure would love to fish with ya.
Awesome day of fishing Alex, you'll be eating good for a while ,keep on keeping it realistic 🐟🐟👊👊
They were delicious!
Good job getting that twist out! White bass have been crazy past few weeks on our lake. We been busting them above the dam. Great vid sir. SUPPER!
Nice Bass Alex!!! Awesome day on the boat!! Really enjoyed this video. Great job 👍🏻👏🏻😎
Thanks Penny
Nice fish on different lures... Way to go man!!!
Thanks!
Looked like a great day of fishing.
Great day of fishing. Well worth getting a little damp!
Nice boat brother keep it realistic!!
Dude you are killin it out there bro. Awesome adventure on the boat. Save me a bite lol
Sure will!
Good day on the water. I'll bet those fish will taste great.
They were great!
Really like the boat videos. Glad you had a good day!
Most excellent! Release to the Grease! Really great day. Enjoyed the video.
For your viewers that don’t know yet, those twist get pretty bad if you reel when the drag is slipping. Just had to change the line on my wife’s reel due to the same issue.
I got it from using inline spinners on a previous trip 😉
*Awesome fishing day RF! Enjoyed the heck outta watching this one. 🐟🎣*
Thanks for watching Mike
A catch, clean, and cook playlist would be awesome! I'm interested in how you dress the fish you keep.
same way as everyone else, fillet
@@RealisticFishing fair enough!
Great video this was very entertaining to watch! You new boat looks awesome aswell!
Busted out the Alabama rig -- nice! (Bait ball)
It worked!
great video! It seemed like the perfect day. Good fun to catch and eat. priceless fun
Best day yet!
Two things I like about white bass catching them and eating em
I like that stuff too cuz.
Man today was your day brother! you look like a real pro out there! Nice job!
Gettin it done 👍
You can tell if it’s a striper as well by looking at the lines going across it if they are broke up it is a striper love the video man 👌
This is the most fun I’ve had watching a video, nice fishing
And that’s the day realistic became a boat fisherman....man I need one of those too
Awesome to see you on the boat
#learning 😎
Awesome White Bass, Stripers, and Bass bro you are on fire that's a great lake to
It can be great, but it is also tough at times 😀
@@RealisticFishing you got that right
Never had white bass before. May try it someday. Those were some nice fish for the freezer for sure. Great video Alex
One of my favs because they are easy to clean 👍
Nice haul you got today brother. Fun to watch!🤘
Favorite!!! Wish it was longer
Me too 👍
Awesome day, ive never caught a white bass and dont really know anywhere around here that stocks them, but looks like fun!
I am glad they are around, they fry up good 👍
Fall fishing from the boat is fun.
Nice fish perfect for filets. I love chasing those on the local rivers. They eat very good
Your overhead cast is spot on... I can’t cast like that worth a crap.
two hands ads a little extra control 👍
Like those white and yellow bass you catch down there. Don't have them up here in NJ. Couple of places have stocked hybrids white bass/striper mix, but have never caught one. Excellent work brother .
They are really fun to catch 👍
Bro love the content channel had grown so much an now your playing fish like a pro love your content
Thanks Fish Guru
Amazing video! I have not seen many videos on white bass and it’s interesting to watch you catch them. Maybe one day i will go catch them and record it on my channel.
