Very nice Rocky I would say about 9 pounds I have caught 2 double digits in my 13 year old life I’d say it’s about 9. Great video Rocky!

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks Britten!
Very good guess !
Keep up the good work catching those big bass 🎣
I appreciate you watching and your comment!

[@davidarcher392]

Awesome fish Rocky, so happy for you! Great job with this video too! I’m guessing 12 lbs.

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks David
I appreciate it 🎣🎣

Texas has a program called Share Lunker, 10+ # bass are kept alive and turned into that program and they do their best to breed lunkers. I never participated because I never caught anything bigger than 8# but love the idea.

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Steven
I’ve heard about the 10lb program in Texas 🎣Great program
Guntersville has a lot of 6to7 lb’ers very few 10s or better🎣🎣

Guntersville is a Great Lake to fish 🎣 Bait is really hard to catch now at Guntersville. GTO Tackle in Guntersville sells golden shiners and work good 🎣🎣

[@eddiefralix3502]

That was a good one! Glad for you Rocky!

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks Eddie!
I appreciate it 🎣

[@Dominicaislandmon]

Try adding duct tape around the perimeter of the net, next to the weights. It will stop the net from starting to close up prior to the bottom and thus increase your catch of bait/ It is due to more square feet enclosed in the net by the weights. The deeper the bait the better it works. I didn't invent it, I saw it on Bluegabe fishing show.

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks
I just got a tape net
It works great
I appreciate your comment 🎣🎣

[@claytonwesley7549]

When I was growing up I lived over there in those apartments across the river. I've swam from one side to the other. And always enjoyed fishing in that general area. But I came to comment because you said threadfin shad. Man I tell you Charlie with tightline jigs has got a good threadfin shad chatterbait. I pair with a certain 8" zoom finesse worm, and tear them up. Thanks for the content.
P.s. all y'all nasty people going fishing on the Tennessee River leaving your trash. Don't let me catch you.😅

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks for the great info Clayton!

I’m feel like you about the trash on the banks. I just don’t understand why people do that.

[@ARCavingandOutdoors]

Back in 2014 I stuck one 13+lbs on a topwater frog back in Mudd Creek. I was going for a double digit on a bed and then an absolute unit come out of the thick lush grass and inhaled it. Wasn't long before she broke me off and I still get sick from it. That lake hasn't fished the same in a long time and all those bass in Mudd Creek are gone. All the fish are in the back of there. Its crazy how a place could be filled with more bass than you can shake a stick at but then all of sudden all of them are gone. I don't see nearly the fish in there like I did 10+yrs ago. You have any theories why that is?

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

I’m sure it has something to do with the bait/food source available to the fish in that area. I have never fish that area. I hear about how great the fishing is or use to be in that area.
I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching my channel 🎣

[@ARCavingandOutdoors]

@RockyDrakeOutdoors Thank you for responding. And yeah, I don't see all the bluegill, crappie, or baitfish in there anymore. I do know the wildlife management crew changed the creek up, damming it at the main spring in the very back. Doing some kind of project in the trails building a bridge over it. Now, the main spring runs out from a different source. And changed the creek a lot. Tight lines to you. Hope you catch a monster this year.

[@bobbyanders9793]

if its the biggest you caught this year he will bump 10 cause when we went you got one 8 or so

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks Bobby
I know you’ve caught a lot of great big bass so you know what a big bass looks like.
