Bull Shoals Tailwater Fishing: Big Trout class w J.D. Dudley

[@metaldog38shomeofmetalnewchann]

This is Kevin. Cool video and thanks for remembering me This guy pretty much does what I do just with a different jig color and head. It always works to fool a fish to make your jig look like a wounded or scared fish. Never tried those type of jigs but may in the future. I still think fishing below you would work here too, just try a heavier headed jig to make it fall due to the current. I've caught too many that way to be proven wrong. Headed to Montauk tomorrow by myself to have some fun. Good luck on your survival trip and stay safe!

Hey Kevin…. Did u get a new number? I tried calling u. I’ll be at Montauk early next month. Maybe we can meet up sometime

[@metaldog38shomeofmetalnewchann]

@@reliablyrandomoutdoors No same number. Just had so many spam calls and my bank account people trying to steal from that my phone blocks just about any number anymore. Sent you a message though and received your message so try it that way.

[@SpicyFishguy]

Best of luck!

[@TheJakeDadi]

Going down to bull shoals this week, gonna get me some d2 jigs!

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

Heck yeah! Hope u tear en up!

[@johndugger9144]

I would've like this video five times if I could have. Great video brother. What do you set your drag at, to pull fish that size but not break a 2lb line?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

So the crazy thing is he does'nt use his drag. if you watch close he leaves his anti reverse lock off and lets the reel spin backwards with his finger on it.... pretty slick move I thought.... and thank you John.... I was really looking forward to hearing what you had to say about this video!!

[@302roleplay2]

Really useful video.

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

thank ya..... glad your still watching!

[@BayAreaFisherman]

after watching a few of your vids i would like to try out your jigs for the first time. which colors would you recommend for lakes with stocked trout?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

Hey, sorry for the slow response, I’ve been on a trout trip in So Missouri. That’s an interesting question, I would definitely do the bleeding shad, (white w red) the black with red head and the orange one have quickly become my go to. I’ll forward the question to JD though just to see what he has to say…. I’ll let ya know

[@BayAreaFisherman]

@@reliablyrandomoutdoors Thank you, much appreciated . looking forward to some more jig videos.

[@rgvxt]

Takes a lot of patience with the younger crowd. Hopefully they left with some new skills

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

@@rgvxt they are good kids. I think they will eventually realize they would rather fish than play video games LOL 😆

D2 is a fancy crappie jig. If u have fly tying experience easily done buy some jig heads at Bass Pro. D2 is just a well executed jig. There is literally nothing special about it!

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

You need to buy them from the D2 website. That’s where you get the ones that are still hand tied…. And it’s actually a fancy walleye jig. I don’t disagree with you however that there are plenty of fine jigs out there even at Bass pro. The difference is I like, knowing I’ve shaken hands with the guy that tied my jigs.
