Day 1 of Alder Lake Bass tournament - Locals are no joke - HAMMERS

This was a great tournament... super competitive. I was neck and neck with a local hammer... one of us comes up only a half pound short in the end.
Watch for my Day 2 video coming soon.

Also crazy thing is I just got that S-Waiver 168 in the same trout pattern and been meaning to throw it, as I am trying to get into glidebaits myself. I also got a Double H MIR JR, only used it a couple times so far but it got a very nice glide to it.

[@evannation4842]

Wow, nice fish haven't fished Alder in years as I only got a 12ft aluminum with only a 4 horse gas motor or I would be fishing it more for sure. I do fish Ohop a good bit as I live right in Eatonville.

@@evannation4842 I only fished for this tournament, but I really enjoyed it... It's a beautiful lake. I wish it wasn't so far away, I would fish it quite a bit. The guy who got 2nd was smashing largemouth on top water, not sure where he was finding them but he was getting plenty of nice ones

@@BassFeedWA Not surprising my one buddy fishs out their and gets drilled on spooks in 30ft of water, largies and smallies.

@@evannation4842 Love it... I'll make my way down there again soon hopefully

Nice fish! Looking forward to day 2!

You did really well for not fishing Alder much, you fished two of my favorite spots. I've hammered them there, I caught a 22lb bag of small mouth on one of those locations that included an 8lb smallie. They do eat the trout patterns, but the Kokanee patterns are king. I'm not going to say much more about that. little bit surprised it was a two day tourney, most out on that lake are one day. What club are you a part of? PS, that river to sea was my first glide also. Boy what a can of worms that bait opened up for me.

[@BassFeedWA]

@@livewire2k4 Damn, that lake has them then. I should make it back. What should my next glide be?...I was going to buy a couple more to play around with this year.

[@livewire2k4]

@@BassFeedWA honestly there are so many to choose from. Then it also depends on the gear you have for throwing them. I can tell you this, you can't go wrong with a Deps 175 or 250, but I probably throw big boot tail line thru or harness baits more than glides. Wake baits can be deadly too. PS. don't sleep on the 6" magdraft ;)

[@BassFeedWA]

@@livewire2k4 I use magdrafts quite a bit. And heard about the deps, might go with that. And I'm in love with a hand made wooden frog wake right now

Pulled that glide the second they left 😂 also, solid editing bro! What software do u use?

[@BassFeedWA]

IMovie...just got Final Cut Pro but haven't tried it.

When I think alder lake I think Kokanee. It’s my home lake and never thought to target bass

[@danielgerman4459]

What glide bait is that seems like it catches fish never fished glide baits would like to try it out

[@BassFeedWA]

I'm new to glides as well, I read up before buying an R2S S-Waver... From what I read, this is a great one to start with if you don't have heavy gear. And obviously catches smallmouth which is huge.

[@danielgerman4459]

@@BassFeedWA what color and size ?

[@BassFeedWA]

@@danielgerman4459 6" trout and terminator are all I have so far

Didn't realize this was a small channel. Nice video!

[@zenith3515]

Great video! I like it so much more without the music.

[@BassFeedWA]

Thanks for the feedback...didn't realize that is was a bit much until after I uploaded.

[@danneyspain251]

I’d watch more if you’d get rid of that back ground music

[@BassFeedWA]

I hear ya, my recent videos don't have much music...and future videos won't either. I'm trying for a little more commentary as well

[@kennyorgan3574]

Music has to go!!!!
