River running for stripers. a day in the life of a swimbait angler searching for big stripers. You can skip forward to 4:57 for a overview of all the baits we threw and gear we used.
The river is a fickle beast and stripers are nomadic little tricksters…unfortunately we just weren’t able to locate a good school of stripers this day. Had a couple of bites, and one big fish sighting but nothing past that. Till next time.. Thanks for watching.

I'm tryin to pick up one of the dd2's but they r a little hard to find.
almost a year and no dislikes!!
We're are you in California
Awesome video. I think this video helped me figure out what rod I'm gonna buy. Been going back n forth on what rod to buy. It's hard for me to trust the lure ratings that companies are putting on their rods these days. The mega bass leviathan seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Thx fellas..
Just wanted to comment and let you know how much I appreciate your channel.
I'm trying to get into swimbait fishing, starting with watching almost anything I can find. You're channel has really provided a lot of valuable information for me. So thank you for that!
Also I want to reiterate an earlier comment someone made about you making a beginner setup video… I would love to see something like that.
Keep up the great work!
Great video! Hey what year and model is the Ranger your fishing out of?? I'm looking to restore a glitter boat myslef…
epic video new sub coming from BHC Colorado river
They Have Great Striper Fishing At Lake Hartwell South Carolina.
Very good video… Your equipment and editing is on point. I saw your video at Sahara… I've been trying to get in that place for a year haha. Try throwing 12" plastics. I hear there's huuuuge bass in there
On the ranger wit Dave he's a cool dude always drops good info on me on Facebook
Your Friend Has A Sick Seeker Rod…I'm Wanting To Build A Custom Rod The Way I Want It..Don't See Many 7 And A Half Ft 2 Piece Casting Rods
You should do a video on starter reels for swimbaits.
Dude, you're posting some quality quality videos man!
Thanks for sharing some info and showing us some love! It's usually harder to coax tips out of the guys who know willow then it is to catch a huge fish! lol
Thanks!
Superb! I'm so glad I checked out this channel. The video is beautiful, the sound is crisp, the edits are on point, the information is top notch. I don't know jack about swim baits, but I trust I'm in the right place to learn. I'm in for the journey. Tight Lines Sir!
Just found your channel love the video I live in Las Vegas we go to Willowbeach all the time to do the people you went fishing with have a channel to?
Seriously though, great videos my brother … Keep it up
I like to fish in a grass hula skirt
when we go bass fishing in the arkansas river we catch alot of striper and whites. it's a slow day if you don't catch 10 to 15.
so I'm blowing your shit up right now and I apologize lol. getting further into the vid I saw your buddy had the leviathan. that's actually the rod I went with. megabass makes a good product. what does your buddy think of it? I've fished it once. no fish on it yet
p.s that river is pristine looking. nothing like that out here on the right coast lol
just subbed. recently put together a swimbait setup and picked up a bunch of huds and s wavers. we will see how it goes. pretty dedicated to throwing just big baits for awhile. invested alot of money into the setup so impretty much all in at this point
Great Video.My Pb is 5.5lb on the S-Waver Here in Central Oklahoma.Tight lines and Great Video!
sick vid man great job
what brand face mask are you using?
Great videos man.Enjoy them! Do you or any of your boys own or throw Megabass I Slides? If so, whats your take on them?
