Casting Into a Feeding Frenzy to Catch Big Angry Wipers and White Bass

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

If you've never hooked one of the hybrids, you have no idea of how strong they are in a fight. Granted the sea run stripe in the large category will be brutal. But something about that football shaped hybrid puts them in another category. Killer video. 😎

[@BackroadsAngling]

The initial run of hybrids is unlike anything I've felt from other fresh water fish. Pretty sweet to experience. Thank you!

[@vinhha6073]

Bro where do you fish what state.. my state had not kinda fish .. very good meat ..👍👍

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Every once in a while an angler can stumble across a frenzy like this. It's not often, but when it happens its magic that isn't easily forgotten. Congrats, dude.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Well said! It's the memory of days like this that keep us going when the fishing is bad and luck isn't on our side. Thanks!

[@danelhouseofel7634]

Ohhh yeah!! This just made my top 10 fishing videos for sure. What a blast, that exhilarating feeling you get when things go really well while fishing.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it! It's so awesome when everything comes together!

[@AGdaRiverRat]

The most satisfying thing about this video is just hearing that drag rug. Those wipers were smacking cast after cast Mr. Wiper King 👑

[@BackroadsAngling]

I agree, the drag scream is really nice to hear. Gotta love a good wiper frenzy! Thanks!

[@Tpm3in1]

Very nice man

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, it was a fun one!

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

Damn man what a bite

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, not bad for just stopping to make a few casts. Caught me by surprise that's for sure. Thanks!

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

Angriest fish in the water

[@fishinwithschroeder]

Great find for the day!! Always fun when they are hitting like that... Thanks for sharing

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes, not bad for a surprise bite. Thanks for watching!

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Absolutely insane video, man! And thanks a ton for using/promoting my lures!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, it was pretty sweet to see the bigger wipers going crazy. In past years when I see them like this is it mostly white bass and smaller wipers. It's fun promoting a product that works. I'll have another video coming up in the future where these baits are featured for the entire time.

[@solomidwestexplorer2485]

Awesome catches! Wish I can go out and cast a few. With all the heavy rain we're having all week. It's a no go. Rivers and lakes are all flooded through the woods and on farmlands. A few roads in most of the SW areas in MN here are flooded out and closed from traveling. Will have to wait.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, the water is rising here too but not as bad as it is there. It's been a crazy wet spring-early summer. Hopefully it will dry out a bit.

[@KaisFishing]

Wow great video! They were really smashing the surface close to shore at one point, very cool. That 9+ was a beaut! Looking forward to the next one.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, they were really using the shoreline to corner the shad. They didn't care at all that I was there. If I had a dip net at the right time I probably could have caught a few.

[@SluSharkND]

Sir, you don't know how much i needed your video today. It made my day to watch you put the smackdown on some bass. Thank you so much for sharing, i know that's a lot of work for you.

[@BackroadsAngling]

I hope all is well up there in ND. I'm glad you liked the video. It really does make all the editing worth it to know people are enjoying this stuff. I find that some good topwater/feeding frenzy action is the cure for whatever ails someone.

[@vint2555]

When the water is calm best to use top water lures. Beautiful lake.

[@Vangster23]

Awesome video! Will definitely have to meet you out there one day. Went two weeks ago and managed some white bass and largies.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Sounds good, I hope to see you out there sometime. That's a good largemouth spot as well. Thanks for watching!

[@Vangster23]

@@BackroadsAngling yeah it's a Great Lake for everything. Waiting to save up for some musky gear! You going out tomorrow morning?

[@R4INMAN94]

Amazing!!! KZbin algorithm led me to this video and it did not disappoint. Just subbed!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks for watching! Welcome to the party!

[@jordanwalter2447]

Awesome session no doubt

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, one I won't forget!

[@TULUSRECORD]

Good fish

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thank you!

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Nice !!! 🔥🔥🔥 my hearts pumping for ya too 🔥🔥😅😅😅😅, I can feel the adrenaline !!!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, the rush you get when you see them starting to blow up is better than any drug that's for sure!

[@teamslaiyans3808]

@@BackroadsAngling hell yeah !! 😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@-vi2ys557]

U forgot to mention your location..😂😂

[@Dr.Smackadoo]

How can you tell the difference between a white bass and a wiper?

[@BackroadsAngling]

They both have a tongue patch. White bass have 1 patch and wipers have 2. This is the only way to identify them 100%. I've learned to identify them pretty well just based on appearance (wipers have very dark stripes while white bass have faint or barely there stripes and a taller body shape) but this is probably only 90% accurate.

[@dennisneuhaus2607]

Maybe you could show your rig more often, what you are fishing with.

[@BackroadsAngling]

For the first few fish I was using a whopper plopper and for the ones after that I was just using a jig head with a 3 inch swimbait.

[@DreadyEDDY710]

I just hope when i stumble on something like this, i have my fly rod lolol

[@BackroadsAngling]

That would be fun. I've actually been out on my paddle board at this same lake with the fly rod but I haven't been able to find any schools like this yet. My goal for the summer is to get some big ones on the fly.

[@FishingKit]

Top water wipers are so fun but sometimes it's more effective to cast a swim bait for sure.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Well said. Sometimes it's a choice between getting a few awesome blowups or getting a lot of numbers with the swimbait or spoon.

[@aftonm693]

Might need to tighted drag a little bit! Awsome day! Beast if a fish

[@BackroadsAngling]

It was pretty tight. These fish just pull so hard and swim so fast it makes the drag really sing. Thank you!

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

This has got to be in April or early May. No way it was last weekend hence uploaded 4 days ago.

[@MindBoxing365]

Where is this place?

[@littlej3777]

What state is this

[@SuperBigBuffetBoi]

Nice video man. You seem to have lots of fun. May I ask what like that is.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, I still have the same reaction to catching fish as I did when I was 10 yrs old. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing but it does make it fun!

[@SuperBigBuffetBoi]

@@BackroadsAngling What month is the most active month for these fish?

[@SuperBigBuffetBoi]

@@BackroadsAngling what is the limit there for those fish?

[@BackroadsAngling]

This can happen at any point during the summer. The hard part is that you can't really predict when or where it is going to happen. They don't follow any schedule and I haven't noticed much of a trend with weather patterns, etc. They just randomly show up, feed and disappear just like that.

[@leethao3903]

Around what time of the season?

[@slanted_vizion2095]

Towards the end of spring

[@rockynash1193]

crazy man

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, they weren't messing around! Thank you!

[@toanfosho6295]

amazing bite! definetly better to be lucky than good lol :P i wish i could stumble upon a feeding frenzy/

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks for watching! I hope you find a feeding frenzy as well!

[@byronrhamy1199]

What state and General area are you in, Ionia Michigan here.

[@BackroadsAngling]

I'm in Iowa

[@L-lp9fl]

Wind still, shows a lot about where the fish spring to life early morning. Any change in barometric pressure while you were fishing for the fish moving deeper? Thought they spawning as they whirled close to the wall. Aggressive takes indeed. Well done with 9.6lb catch. Enjoyed watching. Thank you!

[@BackroadsAngling]

I think the shad/baitfish might be spawning up on the rocks and the wipers are taking the opportunity to corner them. Thank you for watching I always appreciate it!

[@EricLong-zh6ln]

That’s an amazing bite! What lake are you fishing at?

[@paovang6730]

Thats a hybrid the one u weight

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes, all the fish in the video were hybrids except for 2 of the smaller ones.

[@barrymeyer5001]

That is an awesome bite how are they to eat I have never caught one

[@BackroadsAngling]

They are pretty good to eat. If walleye and crappie are rated a 9.5/10 then I would rate wipers and white bass about a 7 on the eating scale. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnielee9838]

Nice catch good eating fish what lake is this

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, the wipers tasted pretty good.
