Do you all have spotted bass there? That first one looked like a spotted bass. Don't think they get a big as LM bass, if you catch a spotted, 14" or bigger, that's a really nice fish. Can't believe you were catching rockbass on a whacky rig, those were some nice size, hungry fish. Surprised no smallmouths from that hole. When I fished creeks in PA, often found smallies & rockbass together. Challenge accepted & completed 🎣
@@ChesapeakeChris I’m not sure if there are spotted bass here or not. I’m not sure how to tell them apart. I was surprised also not catching any small mouth in that hole.
@@riverratfishing The 2 easiest ways I know are spotted bass mouths don't extend past their eye...largemouth bass mouths do. And largemouth bass have a smooth tongue, spotted bass have a rough tongue. I've actually saw guys stick their index finger in the mouth & rub the tongue to tell.
I agree with ChesapeakeChris. That first one definitely looks like a spotted bass. Exceptional pattern on it! Nice creek. The water is so clear! The rock bass are hungry! Nice video my friend.
I was mostly using a wacky rig. It was the 3” Yum Dinger. The wacky rig works great everywhere. Hopefully that was the one you were asking about. Good luck. Tight Lines.
@riverratfishing Yes thank you for the reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I've tried that rig. In ponds and lakes around my area, i've never had success any tips. I live in fish in maryland
@@kent7525 it could come down to color. I fish in one pond with Green Pumpkin and the other pond will hit a black and not touch Green Pumpkin. Hope you find something that works.

@@ChesapeakeChris I will remember that. Thank
Nice job! I believe you met the challenge 👍
@@billreddochoutdoors5968 I think next time I’ll put a number, or type of fish on the challenge.

Nice creek. The water is so clear! The rock bass are hungry! Nice video my friend.
@@HenriVineFishing Thank you my friend. You gearing up for hunting season? Can’t wait for those videos
Nice video brother. Some good fishing. Water looked clear
@@AdventurewithHobbs the water is beautiful clear. Thanks for watching and commenting
Fun stuff man! I dig that challenge thing!
@@DrDitchpickle thanks for tuning in. Challenges are fun. Especially when you get to make up the rules
What bait was that?
Can you use that setup?Other areas except the creek?
