Sure was fun meeting and fishing with you! That was a nice White Bass! We got you covered when you return.

[@carterslawncare2258]

Where yall fishing

[@dickburrus4932]

What kinda jigs y’all using

[@TRaysDigginIt]

Dan-o were you at the Dam Memorial day ?

[@terrygarner4739]

That first fish is a White Bass. We caught a bunch of those on Bull Shoals Lake in 1974, I think. We got into a school of them. We caught about 50 of them. Filled our freezer for the winter.

[@UNFILTEREDFISHING]

Korker boots or slip overs can be a life saver on those slippery rocks.

[@bamafishing2228]

He said it. He finally said We-tumpka.

[@williama.walker2287]

I did my share of rock hopping down there when I lived in Wetumpka.

[@chrismasella8889]

How cool that mist be for that sub. He tells you he's been following you then lands a beast in front of his idol!

[@ruththomas7164]

That was my brother- he not only was glad to meet Matt but to land a Lake Donkey on camera was epic! 😅✌️

[@DB-jh1kd]

Great video. Fishing community is pretty awesome!

[@earlgarrison9904]

You may not have caught many fish, but you made some dedicated fans !! Nice job

[@iancaen2977]

I do a good bit of "dam" fishing up around B'ham...love the variety of species I'm lucky enough to catch. Only thing that bothers me is how much trash people leave behind. I noticed the same thing in this segment. I wish there was some way to make people carry out what they bring in, but sadly, we just can't educate people who don't care. Just my two cents...

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

The fish was awhite bass. The hybrides side strioes would be uneven and broken.My kind of fishing here on Lake Texoma Okla. Havagudunfisherman.

[@theultimatefisherman]

Not getting skunked on Jordan is an accomplishment in itself! I live in Prattville and your channel inspired me to give KZbin a try so it's neat to see you fishing a spot I've filmed at a couple times.

[@mjb2093]

You crack me up.....when I first saw the title of the video, I thought to myself, "that isn't like him to cuss"...........then I figured out what you meant by DAM........LOL. That was fun, as usual.....

[@Jettjohnson4]

I’m from laurel Mississippi where hometown started!

[@shonwagner1175]

The first one is White Bass!! They are delicious!!

[@stevenschlicht582]

Happy new year Matt. I hope your family flourishes in 2022 and many more to come.

[@FishingtheThinBlueLine]

Happy New Year to you and your family, Matthew! Stay Safe and Healthy

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks!

[@MississippiSalt]

This video brings back memories of striper fishing below Storm Thurmond dam growing up. Stripers aren’t very common in my current neck of the woods. Good stuff Beach Bum!

[@rayhall3010]

White bass , they are good to eat , happy New Year's to you and your family ,

[@mariosolis1802]

Definitely a white bass!

[@DeeDeeRanged]

hybrid

[@williammatson9238]

We in Minnesota call those stripers me and my dad do anyhow can be pretty fun getting into a big school of them and they are jumping out of the water can be pretty fun

[@coastalcastingFL]

And that is I believe a hybrid strip bass

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Correct. Yellow eye and not as arched back as a white bass.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

And a ton of fun to catch, and make GREAT catfish bait. Nasty blood line right under the thin meat.

[@2townsdown208]

Out fished by subscribers lol

[@jonnygranville281]

White bass/striper right?

[@saltwateryankees2000]

Awesome stripers! Cool video

[@chetb5964]

First fish looks like a white bass

[@redorrick427]

looks like a wipper

[@rickdewitt600]

That was fun. Enjoyed the interaction with the other fishermen. You do the fishing community well.

[@michaelbrazda4827]

Great content today you started sounding like bubbles from trailer Park boys I don't know if it was on purpose or you just sound like trailer park boys and bubbles I don't know dude but that was fun thank you

[@jamespha9896]

That is a white Bass you catch first fish👍👍

[@savvydirtfarmer]

White bass... single solid stripe full length of fish. "Sand bass" in Texas.

[@johnevers3531]

Shame, shame, shame! Bum, you're from Wetumpka and you said "Jordan Dam", you know it's pronounced "Jerden", LOL!!!! Too bad one of those Coosa Stripes didn't "stretch your string", they're fun to catch!

[@staceythurman]

Check your Facebook private messages about fishing for hybrids.

[@jeffjacobs1955]

Hey Buddy I’ll be in Orange Beach the second week of February for my 50th Anniversary will keep my eye out for you as I fish the beach. Good luck and good fishing !

[@mailmusic]

What beautiful fish....you need to bring Brant, Brad, & Ron up there and yall make a vid.....that is awesome

[@eddiewallace5272]

Tennessee River in North Alabama is where I grew up fishing..,similar but somewhat larger.. good video Matt ✅💥

[@TRaysDigginIt]

Hoping to connect with another subscriber that fishes the Jordam Dam and was there Memorial Day. I was they guy with the Bummy Stick. Hoping this message will get to him.

[@indemniman1623]

You can get that action at the Jim Woodruff Dam in Chattahoochee, FL. Fish the upside of the Dam with white jig on a surf rod, Jig it out of the lock, have plenty of jigs. Catch stripers and hybrids, we fished the east side. Been years ago, should still be good.

[@todddreher1220]

Hybrid

[@randallmiller572]

A Lucky Craft Pointer100 jerkbait, drill a hole in the bottom and epoxy a large split shot to add extra weight. Works great for stripers in that swift water.

[@carrieeasley3995]

Hybrid.

[@davesessums9596]

You can always learn so much by watching, listening and asking questions! Good job

[@TRaysDigginIt]

Het Matt, you forgot to mention the City of Wetumpka was where the movie The Big Fish was filmed. I live in Montgomery and used to fish on the other side of the river and would catch stripped bass and alligator gar. I've heard of a lot of people jug fishing for catfish there.

[@42701texasman]

Lake eufaula in oklahoma produces some nice stripers. Homemade flys with a 3oz bank sinker, throwing right into the discharge of the turbines and along the retaining wall.

[@fredrickmchellon8942]

Nice! Large stripers love to hang out near the damn ! ❤️

[@jpvcwby]

DANG man you weren't far from my neck of the woods in Northwest Georgia. That is the fishin we love up here, but still for me, nothing beats a good saltwater bite. Great video

[@jimpanella5446]

“Out here, it's better safe than sorry, because generally speaking, too much of the time sorry means you're dead.”

[@adamelliott3771]

Right on I fish this dam almost every weekend let me know when your coming back and I'll go with you. Great videos.

[@ruththomas7164]

My brother Dan is a dedicated fisherman- you may find him there in any conditions if he has a chance- I’m sure he was thrilled to caught that huge one on camera! And meet you of course! Please come visit again! 🇺🇸✌️😎

[@Chaoswolf5678]

I know the Coosa river! It runs through my town of Rome Ga!! A small but cool connection!!!

[@josephmurrayjr.3394]

Check out Richard Gene the Fishing Machine. I think you two could make some good videos.

[@billgagnon4670]

I was just in clayton for the Christmas holidays.i could shot my self for not fishing Jordan lake .love your vids Bama

[@nodayatthebeach]

Beautiful looking river spot. Better like next time Those regulars landed some nice looking stripers. Looks like you need some dam bait !

[@memer-tn3nk]

What with blue fishing line I do a lot cat fishing and bass fishing but I’m always lucky with red line but does blue work better?

[@bowhunting1013]

Hey man love your videos, you can Carolina rig that jerk bait with a half or 3/4 sinker and can get out there with it , problem is you get hung up easier , but I found that if you hold your rod tip high it helps , keep the videos coming brother

[@stuartkeeton1702]

Hybrid's have broken lateral lines, so that was not a hybrid. Stripers, yellow and white bass lateral lines are not broken. Not sure how to tell from there. Stay bummy, love the channel.

[@davidterry6100]

I caught 40 pound stripped bass in salt water in Massachusetts with a chunk of mackerel

[@waltermiller4071]

Hybrid, broken lateral lines half way down. Nice eating fish!

[@adamwarren5654]

I didn’t know you were from Wetumpka! One of my wife’s best friends is from there!

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

White and Chartreuse in the wintertime below any TVA dam, you are in business. O2 rich water that is actually warmer than surrounding water this time of year, cure the wintertime blues. I bet there are 30 pounders in there.

[@BoondockFishing]

Dang i missed you. Im usually out there. Thats my favorite lil honey hole. Got Dan on the thumbnail🔥

[@bryantchristian1785]

My buddies up that way catch white bass in the fall winter and bring them down here for snapper bait. They only use chartreuse gulp curly tails. They use white flukes for stripers when they are chasing them.

[@BeardedBrad92]

That was pretty cool!

[@bamafishing2228]

Did you see that it’s snowing up in Hoover Mr. Beach Bum?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I love Jordan for big spotted bass, but never tried that before. Cool vid to watch this morning from my treestand.

[@williamjohnson3226]

You’re very fortunate to be able to fish damn is like that the dams on the Ohio River near me you can’t even get close to them.And they certainly don’t have nice fishing areas like that

[@chrisstarnes2749]

Dude your in my neck of the wood I'm in hickory NC love to take you out in the bass boat sometime

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

[@theokoulianos3363]

White bass and they are so delicious. Bleed them out after catching

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video l love catching strippers they are fun to catch

[@alfredhernandez6672]

Hey bud loved the video! What size line, leader and what is your travel rod length and reel size?

[@williammatson9238]

Generally speaking fishermen are some of the easy going people you can meet

[@kheejlis]

First fish is a white. Hybrids have broken uneven lines.

[@blakemuncher8009]

Bama Beach Bum that first fish was a white bass. They are really good fried. I catch them all the time at the Ohatchee Dam back home.

[@tntoutdoors_]

That looked like a croppy or crappy. However you spell it.

[@robertbeach8856]

Believe it is a white bass, hybrid bass the lines are more broken and crooked.

[@locknnload]

Bummy you gotta get a haircut dude! that was some cool fishing with those guys

[@jordanwalter2447]

Cool change of scenery. Hit that home town hole again!

[@michaelanderson5747]

Hybrid, the whites are a little more panfish shaped with solid lines all the way down.

[@jessetadlock4818]

Great to have you back for a short trip in our old stomping grounds. Always fun spending time with the family around the holidays for sure! Especially Christmas!!! God Bless you and your family this next year and we'll see you back down at Fort Morgan soon!

[@jessesconyers3229]

If your ever in town let me know I live a few mins from the lake we can get on the boat and get out there

[@maddfishy1975]

Happy New Year Matt! Cool to see something a little bit different than normal. Those stripers look really awesome fish! I’d love to try and cross the pond one day and have a go for them! Even though you only caught a couple, it’s good to see you learned a ton of stuff instead. That’s what I love about fishing- there’s always more to learn! Tight lines Matt. Peace and love from the UK

[@pittmanfh]

Some people can catch a fish in a little puddle on the side of a dirt road.

[@mikerobinson6604]

It’s about the adventure. Good stuff.

[@JoseEspinoza-vr4pm]

Remember to watch all the ads guy's

[@BastaGenug]

Its been much too long since I did some dam fishing.

[@willistefft5960]

White Bass hybrid have broken lines

[@jonlobello7151]

What about sauger and saug-eyes in that river?

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey Matt. Good to see you man. I've already wished you guys a Happy Holiday Season. Hope it was all fun for you guys. It's a Hybred White/Striper. Nice fish. That would be a great river for kayaking. Nice eddy right in front of you.

[@brittanydingessjohnbenson9226]

First fish is a white bass and they are delicious

[@MrPredHunter]

Those stripes are awesome to fish ! Another spot not far from there is Boulden Dam . Really awesome fishing the Coosa. White or pearl fluke Across top of rapids , almost guaranteed a hit.

[@charliewilliard2045]

[@carolinapomp1408]

White bass they are good eating!

[@josephbrunjes6873]
