In front of my home where I live is a 72 acre lake, a semi-pro bass fisherman bought it drained and restocked it with Florida bass crappie brim and tilapia… it’s nothing to go out on this lake and catch 8-10’ s back to back.. I’ve fished this lake all my life I’m 52 years old, and a new man bought and shut down all fishing… NOBODY fishes it now… It was the first lake I ever fished.. I have pictures over the years of 10’s and 12’s but no more…now this is a stocked lake and well fed fish and so it’s easy to catch these… but this guy in this video is catching fish we only dream of catching, people go a lifetime and never catch a fish like this… great job and video!!!! Enjoyed it!!
As an avid angler that has one bass to my name over 8, this is an incredible collection of absolute giants. Every one could be the fish of a lifetime. Awesome content!
I caught the biggest fish(possibly bass[largemouth]) of my entire life yesterday when fishing 🎣 with my brothers, I was fishing in my village’s pond and all the sudden the rod is super weighted more waited than usual (and I don’t use a weight on my line) and as I try to pull it out thinking it’s jus debris or the water making it heavy I found out it’s unusually even heavier than even THAT, and this thing I’m telling ye it won’t “put up without a fight” and I even hav to get my brother to help me pull it (yet ima PRO fishermen, but this was cuz it was super heavy) and once I do FINALLY reel the line outta the water I look at the line and I c the lure and hook 🪝 Is gone and if that was a bass it was prolly the most massive bass I’ve ever caught in my literal entire life, I had prolly play basically tug-o-war with that fish for about half an hour 🎣, cuz if that was a fish it was massive(very super massive) and ate my lure and hook 🪝 🎣
Oh man!!! I can’t image what it would feel like to set the hook on one of those monsters, let alone the rush from getting them up and into the boat. That’s amazing.
I set the hook on the biggest grass carp ever in my small pond and she was huge like the size of my leg huge and i tried to lift it up because i didn’t have a net with me and my line snapped and she ran off sadly i got em right up shore to
@@thatfishingnoob it actually wasn’t even a fight tbh because the tree i cast to was like about 10-15 feet from me and i got em up pretty quick the most exciting thing about fishing for me is seeing your line tightening really fast
@@SaRaH_EC for sure! It makes the heart flutter. Line gets tight and then starts swimming and you know there’s a fish on lol. It’s fun when you set into it and there’s decent weight. Tight lines!
This really puts into perspective the world record bass [both large and smallmouth]; including the 17lb on up as well. *Thanks for the video;* it was great to watch! *God bless.*

@@Bassandbucks how do you fish if I may ask ? I find a lot of people who purely finesse fish take a little longer to catch the big one but those using reaction baits or swimbait catch them more often.
@@sonofnothing I've been very fortunate to have caught so many what I call giants. Bass over 6 are once in 5 year fish for me and I caught one over 9lbs. most people think a 3 pounder is a five but I know what they weigh almost to the ounce from years of tournament fishing. Tight Lines my friend. :)
Fantastic donkey compilation from a lifetime of Bass fishing, Damian!!! What's amazing is that you are still young, man. Catching a DD is hard enough in CA, but getting it on film is something entirely different and takes a ton of work. You sir are one of the GOATS! Thanks for sharing! \m/ \m/
Great historical record, illustrating just how lucky we are here in Ca., for the abundance of big Florida strain bass. I'm probably 40 years ahead of you, yet I've amassed a very similar big fish record with the delta allowing several fish whose weight were a couple categories higher ..12.65lbs & 13.2 lbs. both caught in Whisky slough, blk/blu 1/2oz. Jig. Only caught one Big fish in a tourney, 9.8 at Clear lake. Cheers..
@@elitem3 depends where you’re fishing but a good general set up would be a dobyns champion series jig rod, 12lb fluorocarbon, 7:1 reel, and a 1/2oz football head to start with.
@@elitem3 I'm old school so, most of the big fish I've caught came on a hand tied 1/2 oz. flipping jig that was a copy of Bobby Barracks blk/blue w/mylar flash jig.. that I'd add a large blue Zoom chunk. They used to sell them at the Hook-Line-Sinker ..it's what Bobby used to win those big bass tournaments. Rods/reels ..the best you can afford will do. Fishing line changes greatly depending on the rod, reel and the water color..
I could see California having similar success as Mexico in producing big fish. Those deep water canyon lakes with floridas stocked to the gills… Have to be some serious toads. As a Louisiana native that’s covered most of the SE, Texas, and Mexico, the California Delta has been bucket list for me for some time.
This gets my heart pumping,the one main reason I want to move to Florida!! My biggest bass of my life is 11pound2 oz and she was caught on Lake Okeechobee in March of 2014,bass fishing is like no other sport,my Father raised me on water,keep the videos coming!!
I tried for 25 years to catch a largemouth over 10 - but one day I fished a small pond in a private game reserve. Then I caught two in a single day, one in the morning around 11AM and the next in the evening. Both registered over 5kgs but I don't know how much they weighed exactly as my only weighing instrument was a landing net designed for trout which went up to 5kg. I realize my mistake all those years was fishing for largemouth with smallmouth tactics, so while I caught plenty of fish, they were all under 5 pounds. The trick is to use large profile baits for sure. Well done! Love to fish those waters :)
@@craigholland2274California, I seen Eastman lake in here, I think the ponds by sycamore island, and what looks like the mendota slough or the water areas by mendota
WOW!!! Wish I could run into some fishing like this. They don't grow that big here in Minnesota to catch on my YakAngling tube channel GREAT VIDEO!!! Seriously WOW!
I feel you on that. I’ve only been fishing for 11 1/2 months and have landed 144 Bass but the biggest was 4.15 pounds and second biggest was 3.2lb. I really really want one over 5 and the lifelong dream is a 10.
There’s a pond I know that has a 17+ lb bass in it and I’ve caught it one time and weighed it and hooked several other times unsuccessfully. it’s grown since tho, it’s a few acres away from a stream that supplies it with plenty of creek Chubs and minnows, I’m sure it eats ducks and stuff too, that initial hit when you’re abt to hook a fish the size of a medium sized dog, last time I hooked it I was using a small popper and catching some small bass then it just slammed it and broke the line immediately by tension, I retrieved the popper from the side of the pond a week later with the hooks broken off of it. It’s infested with shad that eat the grass bottom of it and there’s just one big bass and it’s probably 15 2-4lb babies and a few hundred bream so the bass eat like kings
Mr Dance, Houston and Parker would be proud. Your knowledge and skill really shows up with your casting and sheer # of fish that size... up here in OH a 4 lib Ditch Pickle is a giant I fish for Bass. ( LG and Smallmouth , Crappie, Walleye, Muskie, cats, and love it all. Great lakes, rivers, inland lakes... I am working on getting a yak.. looks insanely fun. I would imagine that you can sneak up into areas rarely fished with regularity and I believe that helps your catch quality
Hey Damian. I recently found your channel and am impressed with your skill. The fact that you remain composed with some of these biggun's on the line is very impressive. Keep up the great work and content!
‼️That Shimano Sienna Reel tho on that 9.56 HOG‼️ ONE of the G.O.A.T. Hmong brothers to ever do it on a YAK !!! 2:00 Mad Respect for that REEL holding up on a fish like that ! And ppl out here spending triple digits on reels to catch fish smaller than this 🤣🤣🤣
The biggest fish in the immediate area usually has the best spot, and just by looking at the scenery of the spots you fish its plain to see you got it down tight, good shit man
Definitely jealous, I live in northern Michigan and I'm lucky to catch 5-7lbs bass up here because they don't feed often during winter but that's awesome man
Dude, way to yank in some absolute MONSTERS. This is helping me get through winter. Or it's giving me horrible cabin fever. Either way, keep it up man!
Ik this is a bass vid but i just had the biggest grass carp on ever at least the size of my leg and i got em right up shore to i could lift em up and i did the dumbest thing and i tried to lift it up without a net bc no one was with me and my line broke off and bro ran into the sunset
Holy moly brother!!!! I caught my pb this weekend and it was literally HALF of some of these🤣🤣🤣. Oh well, I'm still happy with it but damn I want a double digiter too!!!🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I used to not understand how by people got so excited about bass. My whole life I always caught 1-4lb bass and was like “eh whatever”. Well yesterday a 7-10lb bass broke me off. And then today the same bass stole my live bait twice. I watched him eat it top water. I get it now. I fished from 9am-7:00pm today. No breaks. No food. I get it now. Hooking a big bass is just something else. I get it. All I want is to catch that bass now. I’m going back again tomorrow. Edit: damn I didn’t k in Cali had so many fattys. Being that they aren’t native there. I guess Cali has the second biggest US bass ever at 21lb 12oz
Hey Damien good for you young man absolutely awesome video I hope you catch a 12 pounder next outstanding job fighting that big bas you let him keep pulling and then you where reel when she stops pulling great job Damien and your in a kyack no trolling motor noise and I think that's a big advantage being really silent when you're around these big fish . GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
Epic monster bass footage from your past. And the slow-mo at the end was fire. Can't wait to see you add more footages of future toads. And also tourney vids.
Good job boys!!! I’ve caught a lot of fish In my day, 20 lb cats, 5 lbs bass, 4 lbs walleye, good eaters, never caught anything huge tho. Caught 1000,s of fish in my time tho. Walleye is my favorite food, above wings, pizza all that. Ha keep up the good work, no hater here! :)
really nice fish. i like tightening the drag and turning off the anti reverse (on an open face spinning reel) . You can manually unwind and if the fish makes a run slow the bail with your finger as it spins out.
This is absolutely nuts!!! I’ve never even caught a bass over 6 because of where I live, and then you’ve caught so many absolutely giant bass over 9 lbs
Damian , all I can say is wow !! Like and subbed!! I each a lot of fishing channels. Yours has some of the best cast to catch footage of monster bass on you tube!! Keep it up !! Tight lines!!!! Good luck!!!!
Bad ass hooksets! I remember seeing some of these in your other videos. Specially the 10+ @ SI! That was epic!!! I couldn't tell you how many times I viewed that clip... 💯👊💪
Where on earth do you live that you’re able to have a 15 minute comp of double digit bass? My biggest is 5-6 and I may be able to put together 4-5 minutes of me catching em close to that size but gah damn, this is legendary
iv only been catching 1-3 pounders all my life here in the northeast in fished out small lakes and ponds. love to feel the wonder and excitement of what 8-9 pounder must feel like. i would think i snagged a giant snapping turtle or a large tree branch.
Nice catches man!! I have seen a couple of videos now! Good work out there on the water. Want brought me to your channel was the eastman lake video. I was just out there this weekend. We caught a few but all small ones.
That 2nd clip was awesome. IMO having a bass jump with their mouth open like that, you can instantly tell it’s huge is the best. Only thing better is hooking up with a big Smallie that gives you a better fight than largemouth will plus they jump out of the water 2 feet or more. I love it but, at the same time I hate it bc I’ve lost some big fish like that.
All great catches. Wish you broke out an actual scale to weight all these monsters. I've caught many fish this size and the looks can be deceiving for the weight. Having a scale ready brings you back down to earth...Nice work and keep up the great fishing.
Thanks! This is just a quick video put together of some of my largest catches. I actually have the full video with catch, video weight with scale and release of these fishes on my channel, here is one for example ruclips.net/video/cQUAmzxiP5E/видео.html. I didn’t want to waste peoples time with the weighing and releasing when I already have that in an older video on my channel.

I come bk to this video every once and a while amazing catches dude🤙🏾
This is absolutely nuts!!! I’ve never even caught a bass over 6 because of where I live, and then you’ve caught so many absolutely giant bass over 9 lbs
That 9.5 On a spinning setup mustve been awesome
Sick Bass off the kayak!!! Love it
Hooking up with large fish on light tackle is so exciting. I remember my first 8lb as a boy. I lost it when the fish was in hand.
Maryland bass fishing is very hard, my pb is just over 6lbs so any of these fish would be a fish of a lifetime for me
Yup. Feel your pain in MD.
Thanks bro, I needed that!! Its a cold winter here in Chicago
Damn dude good stuff 👊🏽😎 Haha I caught a 9 on what looked to be that exact same Sienna reel and the sound of it was giving me flashbacks 😂🤙🏽
Excellent video, very exciting!!
Damian , all I can say is wow !! Like and subbed!! I each a lot of fishing channels. Yours has some of the best cast to catch footage of monster bass on you tube!! Keep it up !!
Tight lines!!!! Good luck!!!!
Fishing northern bass topically the ones over 8 lbs pull twice then chill the rest of the way in 😂
Bad ass hooksets! I remember seeing some of these in your other videos. Specially the 10+ @ SI! That was epic!!! I couldn't tell you how many times I viewed that clip... 💯👊💪
Where on earth do you live that you’re able to have a 15 minute comp of double digit bass? My biggest is 5-6 and I may be able to put together 4-5 minutes of me catching em close to that size but gah damn, this is legendary
SmallFish I think he's gotten permission to fish in Lake Heaven. I heard it's really nice and lot's of people are just dying to fish there.

Bass too, cats take me a little longer and I gotta grab my pliers. Lol
Hell yeah. Getting me hyped up on this cold Ny Winter day.
iv only been catching 1-3 pounders all my life here in the northeast in fished out small lakes and ponds. love to feel the wonder and excitement of what 8-9 pounder must feel like. i would think i snagged a giant snapping turtle or a large tree branch.
great day man. super skills landing those giants. i can’t believe you removed the plug from that second fish’s throat.
I'm going to say CGI. But you know, I'm just jealous. Lol. Amazing as always!!!
Nice catches man!! I have seen a couple of videos now! Good work out there on the water. Want brought me to your channel was the eastman lake video. I was just out there this weekend. We caught a few but all small ones.
Holy moly !!! Nice catch brother !!!!!
Awesome fishing friend 👌
Where y’all fishing at?
It looks like that lake has so many bass. Great job.
You are a slayer thank you for sharing your delta trips
That 2nd clip was awesome. IMO having a bass jump with their mouth open like that, you can instantly tell it’s huge is the best. Only thing better is hooking up with a big Smallie that gives you a better fight than largemouth will plus they jump out of the water 2 feet or more. I love it but, at the same time I hate it bc I’ve lost some big fish like that.
Wow! 😮 Great catches dude!
Those hookset. Makes the heart pumping
All great catches. Wish you broke out an actual scale to weight all these monsters. I've caught many fish this size and the looks can be deceiving for the weight. Having a scale ready brings you back down to earth...Nice work and keep up the great fishing.
Thanks! This is just a quick video put together of some of my largest catches. I actually have the full video with catch, video weight with scale and release of these fishes on my channel, here is one for example ruclips.net/video/cQUAmzxiP5E/видео.html. I didn’t want to waste peoples time with the weighing and releasing when I already have that in an older video on my channel.
That 11 lb bass was a beast. Can't wait to catch my first double digit. The biggest I ever caught was 8 lbs.
Awesome video
