Tornado warnings! Severe thunder storms! Extreme winds! White Water Rapids! Its just another day of adventuring in the Tin rig! Come along as we take the jet boat up skinny river rapids in search of Spotted Bass, dodge lightning on the open water for largemouth, and catch a ton of bass on swimbaits and topwater!
Post spawn bass fishing can be a blast! We kept it incredibly simple today with just a few baits in the boat. When you only have a few selections, its amazing how you can stick to the plan and catch fish no matter what the weather throws your way! We were able to put together an amazing swimbait bite and catch a bunch of nice topwater fish to boot!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact sizes and color for each bait to really help you dial in your personal gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Does anyone know the spec on what boat they are using?
Now that's a Jon Boat- nice setup.
What are the details on this boat? Great video
Come on half a million subs! Been here since like 80k. You guys deserve it. This is hands down my favorite fishing channel. You guys are full of information and put out great useful knowledge us guys can apply to better our fishing skills. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Recess that trolling motor pedal! Your hurting my back just watching. Lol
Hard to believe that was all in one day. What a crazy day on the water.
Great content! We'll start sending your channel to our clients who recently bought land from us near the lakes. This will surely give them motivation to try new activity like fishing. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Loved the boat ride.👍
I want to keep seeing you both making videos brothers. Please stay safe and wear your PFD.
What brand boat is that?
Yall were straight getting it on that thing!
Very fun !!
Insulated clothes and flip flops something's wrong with that
💖👍 What a crazy weather day. Thanks for the boat ride…that was fun.
For a minute there I thought ya'll were in Texas.
You got that Jon boat looking sweet
Hey you guys are sick, can you maybe do a pike fishing tip video for my birthday? It’s on may 13th, all good if you can’t but it never hurts to ask. Keep up the awesome work you’ve taught me so much about bass fishing over the last year💪🏼
what model / make boat do you have
Love the explorations. It's at the heart of anything outdoors right? I know you both are good friends / like family, but have you guys ever gotten into it on camera? The net comment got me thinking. That would be funny to see, only in light of how well you guys get along! We all have those days with our fishing buds for sure. Thanks for all you do TB!
The description for Magdraft rod correct med heavy Magdraft is 1.5 oz bait right.
Maybe a dumb question. Do you guys change out the hooks and split rings on the Magdraft swim baits??? If so which sizes???
MATT!!! @ 5:20 skipping that 6" Magdraft like a beast!!!! Hahaha so freakin cool!!!!
I’ve bee following you guys for year. Hard to believe how long actually. Please do a recap on what you might have thought then years ago as to what you might be doing with it now. Such as glide baits river 2 sea or big Huddleston. As you have evolved.
Love the video.such a beautiful river.please ware the pfd's at least when your running spots.
5:18 God i wish i could do that. My reel would BLOW UP to a fatal bird nest
That's real fishing, inspiring.
Who also want them to come back to cali for a week and do some videos on clear lake?
I was about to ask why are y'all fishing out of the tin boat? Than I saw you guys running, I totally understand now 😆
Did you see the bolders
Got wet didn’t you all lmbo. Hey do you all go to Soddy Daisy’s bait and tackle
16:10… work that stern.Lessen you don't want yo cammo purses to get wet
Up in the flow, around the rocks, I've found that a ⅛ or ⅙oz Gray Minnow Roostertail, fished on 4lb fluoro, to be the most consistent producer. {Switch to GBL (black/gold blade) as the weather warms and the spots feed more on bugs} A #9 Smelt color Rapala Floating Minnow is your topwater up there (unless you prefer a small black buzzbait). Out around the wood in slacker water, flukes, the buzzbait, and the good old Snagless Sally (doctored and modernized, of course) fits the bill. Stroking a 3" Perfection colored Pit Boss on a Hardhead around the wood can get some ol' Sow Spots w/big patches of BELLY SPOTS, too. That's the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
love as always!!!
one question , Where are the life jackets while your making the wild runs up a nd down the river?????
Wanna see you guys around for a long time.
Keep it safe.
I got to say what a view and I want a jet boat now lol 😂 . But if this was filmed on sat 7th this passed weekend we had some crazy weather here in fl. I ended keeping my rain gear on all day at work and pulling the trigger on some nice bibs .
Seems like the back of the boats where it’s at lol
You need a better radar app for your phone if you don't know where the warned storm was
“Hang on Timmy,Timmy hang on!!” Lol gonna have a few sore spots after that ride. Gotta love it. Comes with the territory.
Loved the video, but please wear a PFD
I’ve been caught in some really sketchy water and wind on my 12 foot v hull and been puckered up limping back to the Marina a couple times. It’s not much fun at that point. what model of boat is this? And did the foam decking come stock from the factory? Y’all’s took that rough water like a champ.
That looks like a Mike Watson of bullet proof boats sticker on the back !
Looks like a crazy cool place to fish, well done fellas y’all never disappoint.
Fishing for the joy of it. Great video. Please wear a PDF when on plane. The world is a much better place with you two in it. There are not enough words for how lesser fishing and life would be without you guys sharing your joy.
What a wonderful video! I loved that you guys showed what a true day of fishing could be like when the weather doesn’t want to cooperate! Great job guys!🙂👍🏻
