Thanks a lot! Yeah it's beautiful up there!

Thanks for watching! I was mostly fishing a weed line at the beginning, sitting in about 7 feet of water and casting out past the weeds (onto more of a sandy flat) and bringing it in. Sometimes I can find the Smallies (and a lot of pike) around the outside of the weed line and sometimes more on the sand. This fall I found some scattered around these areas, but I found bigger fish out around drop offs from about 10 feet to 20 feet while they were chasing baitfish. I may have another video coming soon showing that too.

Thanks! I'm so used to cloudy water in Iowa, nice to get into some clear water again!

Thanks! I've been pretty busy recently, but have been getting some editing in. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information! If I'm ever heading in that direction again I may do that, I appreciate it!

Thanks man!

I think I will too, it's nice to see and try to figure out new places!

Thanks it was nice to explore a new place for a little bit!

Thanks! You're right, I am happy I caught fish at all, the blowup at my feet was icing on the cake!

Thank you!

When I lifted her out of the water I guessed she was around 8 pounds as well. I was a little surprised the scale said 6 and a half, maybe I need to check it!

Maybe I'll go back there this fall and give it a shot, not a bad idea, thanks!

It was just a small green pumpkin curl tail grub! I thought it was a catfish, was not expecting a bass, haha

Wow, ha. Nice!

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Thanks! Dang that is a long drive for some smallmouth, but in my opinion, it might be worth it. I still think they are one of the hardest fighting fish! Thanks for watching!

It sure is, no complaints here, haha! Thanks for giving the video a view!

I went back after work in the middle of the night hoping to find some more, but only found some crappie. I did go the next day but didn't catch anything. It was fun while it lasted! Thanks for watching!

I agree, definitely enjoy seeing them as well!

Yeah, gar are pretty cool fish! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I've never tried gar yet either, but would definitely give it a try! Thanks for watching!

I know someone who was fishing near this spot with his son. His son caught a gar and wanted to eat it, reading that it tastes like lobster. They went straight home and grilled it. It was the worst thing they tasted. The father spit out the first bite. The son smiled through his first bite, and I don't remember if he had a second one, but there definitely wasn't a third bite. I forget how the father described the taste, but I do remember him saying it was rubbery and far from lobster.

Thank you I appreciate it!

Thanks! It was nice to find one with a little bit of size to it!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm not sure what makes a grown person throw rocks like that, but if it kept up they probably wouldn't have liked the consequences, lol!

Hey man! Yeah that last one hurt a little bit!

Thanks for watching! I love crappies, they are definitely good eating! Tight lines to you too!

Thanks! I'm not sure if he was trying to hit me, or just releasing some anger or what, but they seemed to be getting closer and I wanted to make it clear that I was there. I am pretty sure there were some wipers or a big school of white bass while I was at the second spot. I kind of wanted to wrap up the video so didn't leave any of the blowup footage in. Thanks for watching!

Haha yeah I guess so!

Thanks! Poppers have done pretty well for me this year. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I appreciate you watching! Tight lines to you as well!

Hey thanks man! Yeah they were really fired up this day. I appreciate you watching!

I haven't been over there a lot this year, I think I only went to the middle pond once, and the lower pond twice actually, and I was only catching small bass each time. I can say the housing development in that area is in high gear though, lots of new buildings around. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Thanks! Yeah this pond is really good for bass. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, yeah it's pretty cool when they are fighting over the lure underwater. I've seen it a lot more with smallies up north, but this year I've seen it a few times with the largemouth. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

It's the worst when you can get them up to you and then they snap off. Feels like if you did one thing different you could be holding them. It really does suck. Thanks though!

I'm so used to losing them I guess it is just normal now. I'm kind of reserved in that way, but it was painful trust me, haha

@@KaisFishing Videos like these always remind to always use thick fluorocarbon leader (30+) just in case. And it had saved me in several instances

Yeah I totally understand. I have spent a little money for a heavier setup to go after some bigger fish now. I have been using some lower pound test mono for top water mainly on the lighter rod.

I'm happy just to see them, thanks!

Haha, yeah I freak out internally, I guess. I was instantly shaking after that first jump. It looked like the lure was long gone, shouldn't have let him take it for so long but thought it was a wiper at first. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I've never seen a musky jump out this high, and he actually jumped at least this high again later in the fight. Crazy!

Thanks! He put up a really good fight, I'll say that much. I'll try to have a longer form video tomorrow of the whole thing.

Yeah it's an amazing lake! I will show how I put line on next time I need to, which might be soon after these trips haha

Thanks, I appreciate that! I have never been there actually, and honestly didn't even realize it was there, but after checking it out, it looks like a great spot. I'll have to give it a look sometime. Thanks for putting it on the map for me!

Haha, you're right, that would have been quite the predicament! It really is a good bass lake, definitely some good sized ones in there. I appreciate you watching!

Thanks I appreciate that! The mink was a cool surprise, I haven't seen many of them. Thanks for watching!
