What a day !!! $1500 for this years tag and $500 for last year. But the excitement of those brown fish and watching them swim off is priceless! Thanks to all for coming along!!!
That was awesome feller's. I caught my 1st redfish in Navarre FL . It was tagged an all I got was a hat an a Louisiana tag team T-shirt. But the fish came that far away to Florida. That was priceless. Be safe an God Bless y'all.
making memories with your buddy is priceless in itself. but catches a tag fish is rare. but what's enen rarer is doing for 30yrs+ thanks for sharing one of your adventures. it's awesome to see to buddies get along as well as you two. congratulations fellas and thx again for sharing.
@@RockyDrakeOutdoors brought tears to my eyes thinking about all the fun I had with my old fishing buddies. Unfortunately I have lost my best buddies far too soon and now I look at my Ranger boat sitting there unused. Good for you guys , seeing the joy on your faces is priceless. Tight lines.
@@Old_rockfish I feel your pain, been having to fish alone for years now. I still love being out on the waters of N. Alabama but it's so much better with a fishing buddy.
Now, I bet he ran off all excited and didn't even buy you a cuppa coffee, Rocky. That was $1500? What a catch! Any day fishing is a good day but some days I reckon even better things happen. You two definitely had a better day. Thanks for taking us with y'all, Rocky.
The BassCashBash has added a whole new dimension to catching fish on Guntersville, Pickwick/Wilson, and several of the Coosa Lakes. It runs March 1st-July 4th. Make sure you are signed up before heading to the lake!
Im the dad of the cute girl in the picture. About 30+ years ago, back when I believe you did taxidermy, you mounted my first good smallmouth. Caught from Tims Ford lake. If I recall correctly you mounted 2 more for me that came from Wheeler lake. All 3 mounts are in good shape and I see them every day.
Yes sir I did mount a lot of fish back then 🎣🎣 Glad to hear the mounts are in good shape. That was a lot of years ago 😊 Thanks for watching my fishing channel and thanks for your comment 🎣🎣
Ronnie needs to buy a lottery ticket Rocky. I have caught one tagged fish in my lifetime and it was during a crappiethon tournament out of decatur. To catch two in a lifetime let alone the same day is mathematically almost impossible. Buy a lottery ticket Ronnie. Buy several!
Hey Rocky, I’d commented from my other channel Tuesday when we was headed over there to fish. I got some pics of our best catches and posted them here on my fishing channel, I shouted you out in the description. Thanks for the pointers it helped us out
Careful where you buy your line Rocky… My brother in law bought some P-line from Amazon 12lb test and I swear it had about the same breaking strength as my 4lb stren on my crappie rod…😅 We’re both big fans of P-line but I’d go to BPS or something where it doesn’t sit on the shelf for a long time… I think I remember seeing that feller on TV now that you mention it…😂 Also thanks for showing people you don’t need 20 dollar lures to catch fish and have a good time… Most stuff is designed to catch fishermen more than fish nowadays. I’m old school, I want my rod bent… It doesn’t matter how much my boat or lure costs…😂
I knew before it started Ronnie was going to kick your but your not the only one with bad luck I'm setting in the cabin at guntersville watching 30 mph wind
Yes You pay $100.00 to register and if you catch a fish that’s tagged you win $1500 It’s a thing in the south they been doing for a few years. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 🎣🎣
When your fishing for the small mouth on a vertical structure like that bluff wall do you pretty much just stick with live bait? If you were to use an artificial what would you use? I’m out in Nashville, would love to fish with you sometime.

Like Richard Gene the Fishing machine always says . . . . " Go Fishing , Cause it's GOOD FOR YA ! Congrats on a day to remember Mr. Ronnie !
Those smallmouth are like hitting a brick with a lawnmower! Great fun, congratulations!
I enjoy watching you two men fish so much. My biggest smallmouth to date is 7lb2oz on a shadow rap on the clinch river side of Norris lake.
Just LOVE it !!
Thanks Mark

Careful where you buy your line Rocky… My brother in law bought some P-line from Amazon 12lb test and I swear it had about the same breaking strength as my 4lb stren on my crappie rod…😅 We’re both big fans of P-line but I’d go to BPS or something where it doesn’t sit on the shelf for a long time… I think I remember seeing that feller on TV now that you mention it…😂 Also thanks for showing people you don’t need 20 dollar lures to catch fish and have a good time… Most stuff is designed to catch fishermen more than fish nowadays. I’m old school, I want my rod bent… It doesn’t matter how much my boat or lure costs…😂

500
Through the whole thing, Ronnie was grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
😀I saw that also 🎣🎣

Any advice bank fishing the Bruton Branch area? Catfish or crappie.
I’m sorry I don’t have
I’m not from that area
I do know the crappie are starting to move up close to the banks 🎣🎣
No tag in the ROCK ! bummer 😢😂
No tagged rock. 😀🎣
I knew before it started Ronnie was going to kick your but your not the only one with bad luck I'm setting in the cabin at guntersville watching 30 mph wind
It was pretty bad today for sure. You in the cabins by Waterfront Grocery by chance?
Thanks John
I appreciate your comment
Hopefully the wind will let up and you’ll get to fish 🎣🎣
Im sure i sound dumb but up in new york i ve never heard of the tags for contests. So do you pay to enter and then they tell you what lake to fish in?
Yes
You pay $100.00 to register and if you catch a fish that’s tagged you win $1500
It’s a thing in the south they been doing for a few years.

Circle hooks?
No sir
There just a no 2 Owner bait hook 🎣

I’m headed there now. Are shad still in the harbor or did y’all have to go to barge canal?
They were n the harbor 🎣🎣
What hooks are y’all using?
Owner no. 2 bait hooks (red)
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment 🎣🎣
Can this technique be used year round?
I usually can catch fish year round with live bait.
Certain times of the year are better than others 🎣🎣
