I have a pair of Simms wading shoes, and I wear 1.5 mm neoprene socks with them. Do you do the same? If not, it is the way to go. Everything is dry about an hour after you take them off.
Once the sun comes up. Top water is over.😊
I mean to tell you to let it sit a second. B4 you retrieve yeah that one got away 😢😢
5.12 ozes with a side of salad!!😅😅
I love me a Saturday morning NDYak video. Those fish were huge.
Throws quarter pound lure. “That’s a tank of a bass.” It better be! LOL!
I woke at 6M and went fishing this morning. Nada, nothing, zero…
I like that you are not using electronics
2 PBs for the year on the same day with a squirrel, who'd of thunk??😀
What was your water temperature today if you checked thanks
I am in Florida . I grew up in Ohio and at that time a 5 pound bass was really big . In Florida the largest was 12.5 . on a black worm . I fished Lake Thonotosassa near Tampa for years and that gave me the 12.5 . I also have had something that inhaled a Jitter Bug pulled my 16 foot canoe around for a few minutes . Regarding this topic of squirrels and maybe other things bass eat , add small gators . I was fishing the shore with a frog and a small gator grabbed it and as I was pulling it in , guess what , the just over 10 pound bass grabbed it all and gave me a fun fight . I have learned that the LARGER gators love the top water bass .The top water splashing that some of your fish would call gators for dinner . After several came up the bank or aggressively to the canoe I just quit fishing in Florida . Part of me chuckles to myself with the 5 pound monsters , but the only fishing I want to do now is what you guys do . I will give up the not unusual 10 pound Florida bass for a 2 pound smallie any day .
Nice!
NoDak and chill
Squirrel or chipmunk? 😂
that's the good thing about 65# braid, it'll cut through the salad
1000× Merci !
I appreciate the commentary on the rod rating! I’ve avoided big wake and swim baits because I don’t have a rod rated for them, but might give one a shot.
Good show bro.
Where are the 8 to 10 pounders at what's your PB bass?.
NDYak video in the morning. College football on all day long. Life is good
You caught my PB twice
Would’ve been nice to see you fry that bass up in a fry pan 😅
