Dock Monster: The Full Story of 3 for 30lbs

Many have seen original often copied Dock Monster video, but none have seen how the rest of the day went down. When the big bite is good, its time to keep grinding. After the first 12.72lb Trophy Bass, Mike Gilbert continues on to catch 2 more pushing the bag up to 3 for 30lbs!

Glad to see you more active on KZbin now. Great stuff. I still watch that battles video all the time and honestly think it is one of the best edits I have ever seen.

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Have plans to do another on similar lines. Those type of videos take up some time to plot and plan on execution. I have an idea though and will probably shoot it in the next couple of months. A mix between Seventeen and Battles.

[@toddpossum]

I agree 💯 %

[@rodfather_bass_fishing]

I'm so glad to hear someone else say this... I was starting to think I was the weird one for watching Battles as the last thing I see 3-5 nights of the week. It started as a way to avoid losing sleep because I was thinking about work.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Working Class Zero looking forward to it!

[@Radec74]

keeping it real. and catching monster bass. 🎣👍

[@TLOMikeRogers]

Man I thought you were gonna through your back out on that second fish when setting the hook. Good lord man lol

[@howabouthetruth2157]

That's totally awesome. Most anglers will never accomplish that. So far, here in central Florida, I do have four 12 lb'ers under my belt, and 13 other bass that weighed 10. Ironically, I have caught less 9 lb'ers ( 6 so far ) than 10's. I literally cannot count the large bass I've caught weighing 6 to 8 lbs. My single best day ever, was on Nov 28, 2005, in Farm 13 ( south end of Stick Marsh. ) I caught 35 bass. The 5 biggest were two 10's, a 9, and two 8's. That totals 45 lbs alone. However, among the 35 bass, 10 of them were in the 5 lb range, and all 35 bass totaled a whopping 162 lbs. All documented in pix. Caught these fish in only 5 hours. I don't know if I will ever top that, but I keep trying. Tight Lines-

[@zucinnied]

Howabouthetruth oh man thats nuts. Link to pics???

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Sid .Mohorovich..........Those 35 bass I have documented back then ( Nov 28, 2005 ) I was using 35 mm film, so they are hard-copy pix in my older fishing journal/photo album. However, since June of 2016, I have switched to digital pix, and have over 100 images of bass, where close to half are 6, 7, and 8 lbs, with only a couple 9 lb'ers plus my most recent 12 lb'er on digital so far. Back during that bad recession that started in 2008, I was forced to sell my nice bass boat to save our home. It sucked, because I owned the boat. I bought myself a Twin Troller X-10 boat October 2016, and what an awesome little boat. With my digital images, I can email those to anyone. I will catch more double digit bass, it's only a matter of time. Especially during our awesome pre-spawn/spawn/post spawn season that starts in Nov and lasts all the way through April. Last season started out great, all of December was awesome, caught many 7 & 8's, and one 9. But then we got slammed with back to back cold fronts that ruined the rest of our season down here. I am so Blessed to live so close to the famed Stick Marsh. It's a giant bass factory. I LOST a true giant in April of 2017 that I know was much bigger than any of my 12 lbe'rs. I got a really good look at this monster bass right when she spit my jig on the surface. I'm being conservative by estimating she weighed 15 lbs, and she very well may have been 17 lbs. Ya just can't say, until ya have that fish in your hand. I fish for trophy bass at least twice every week ( weather permitting ) year 'round down here. Sometimes 3 times a week.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Sid..........See my other response to you first. This is "a PS"......The only thing I can do with my hard-copy photo's is try to take a picture OF those pix with my phone, and then send them via text. Can't really say how well that would turn out. I NEED to start making videos.

[@d.nastyfishing6091]

Howabouthetruth you damn right that's awesome .. I'm down here in south florida grew up on a lake .. fished my whole life so far with out a double digit fish... alot of 6 and 7 pounders

[@howabouthetruth2157]

D.Nasty Fishing.......No disrespect meant, but you're either fishing the wrong lakes, or coming up short with your methods. Because there are TONS of double digit bass in Florida to be caught. Did you read my entire comment? Also, look at all the big bass entered in the "My Florida Trophy Catch" program. That alone proves it.......and MOST anglers are NOT entering their trophy fish in that program. I certainly haven't. I don't have anything against the program, I just simply never get around to doing it. But I've got plenty of pix & digital images, and I'm still going strong.

[@thisislargemouth5566]

I watch this video once in a while to make myself happy. This is one of my favorite videos on all of youtube. Right up there with your seventeen video. Hope to see some more big bait content soon.

[@tommcintosh4778]

Thanks for making more videos mike, it’s nice having some who I can “relate” to more outside of fishing, share the same deep passion for these big baits. Keep up the good work, it’s great motivation.

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

I get what you are saying. Really appreciate the support Tom!

[@yingyang803]

Sick! That second fish though! Came and bite your Swimbait 3 times! Sick!

[@tb0632]

Still stoked to see someone from the skate industry tossing big baits. Keep up the good work man!

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

We trying

[@albertb5455]

How do you only have 4k subs?! Some of the biggest bass caught on video and quality content!

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Haven't been consistently uploading for years. Thanks for the sub though

[@jeffflosi3541]

Epic Day !! I guess u know it's a good one when it moves the boat lol

[@WaterWarriorFishing]

@ 2:00 that "long line" technique...I likey LOL freaking awesome insight brother

[@thisislargemouth5566]

Absolutely incredible man. You're getting ready to blow up after this.

[@bobsmith1841]

ShaNERD not sure man, channels that have just fish catches don't really take off. It's all about the narrative and personality behind the camera...

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Very true

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Appreciate the positivity but Bob is correct in my opinion.

[@kg6qzx]

The cheesball fish videos that get 200k views aren’t worth watching....this one is....the peaceful nature and love of the sport itself shows through.

[@tiefsa]

Love how that first hog weighed so much that the boat actually turned toward it when it was hooked.

[@jflesh.bassin4948]

Man, I need a day like that!

[@thomasfinley4182]

sick edit man that had to be a epic day! i agree with finish carpentry tv about the battles video. keep the good stuff coming.

[@BigBearFishing]

Absolute craziness! Good video!!

[@59johnny]

Unreal footage bro.

[@pkallday9498]

Awesome video man....good job

[@owenmurray1745]

Great video mike. I have one question, now that ppl know you pull massive fish from under that dock, do you see anybody post up there with swimbaits in effort to milk off of your patterns??

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Yes. Plenty enough

[@curtblocher9624]

Totaly insane!! Dude you are amazing!

[@brandonmacklin4224]

Working Class Zero: What's your P.B? ME: Just shy of 7lbs. Working Class Zero: That's cool, Mine is 97lbs and some change! AWESOME VIDEO 👍

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Everyone has to start somewhere. Where you fish and when you fish has a lot of play in it as well. If you aren't getting the results you're looking for, try switching things up for a bit during prime times to see if you get better results.

[@bobsmith1841]

That twelve was a bad mamma jamma!!

[@Lsmoe]

Working Class Tappin That A%# ! Damn son I guess Big ass lures mean only BIG ASS fish can eat it !! LOL Where are you and what are you using . You and Oliver Ngy are my new heroes !!! God Bless man Thanks for the inspiration !!

[@ErnestColeFishing]

Awesome!!!

[@MrPaulluma]

Damn that was awesome!!! Biggest for me is an 8 pound 4ozer! Caught it around midnight on a hula popper. I didnt even have to see it hit. I could hear the explosion. Wish I could catch a dub digit.

[@thisislargemouth5566]

Those Hinkle baits look so damn good in the water.

[@Peps3dcollectibles]

Yes yes yes!!! Love these vids!!!

[@pauldyeager8343]

[@fresnobassn744]

[@Riofish1]

Badass man nice fish! 🤘

[@JRAutollc]

Great fish. Great location. Let’s talk about post production...

[@TopwaterTony]

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE !!!!

[@joeorta6818]

Nice video,...my PB here in Seattle WA is 7.6 lbs,...DD's are rare in our state but they are here,...same lake I caught my PB at I seen a 15 year old kid pull a 9.2 lb off a bed. Keep on with the vids,...!!!

[@BravoJoe604]

Great video

[@user-ro9dz4of5y]

YOU SURE THAT LURE ISNT FOR SHARKS?! HOLY SMOKES!!!

[@queenjane7054]

RIGHTEOUS

[@eugenemccracken3810]

Epic day I must say

[@todydn]

Nice when it's so big it pull the nose of the boat lol when you hook em

[@smoore8]

Love your videos and your attention to detail. The only thing I would add is you seem like a good common sense dude so I would suggest there’s no reason to ever keep a big fish (which by the way is elderly to be that size) in a livewell. Just turn her loose right away and makes sure she lives. Also bass that size spend most of their life in their territory, their home, and turning them loose in another part of the lake can stress them majorly. Just something maybe you haven’t thought about. Love the video and love the commitment man!!

[@TwinCitiesOutdoors]

There is so much technique and detail in your fishing style! Would love to apply big swimbait tactics here in MN. Any suggestions on a small swimbait, maybe 1oz?

[@lamontgray6015]

I'm in Minnesota too I use 168 s waver deps 175 and and others they work brother start with an s waver

[@fishhunt3471]

Magdrafts work too. Also from MN

[@fishinghabit_tv4990]

Look likes ima have to go to Cali to catch a double digit Bass 😂😂

[@jacobbean6926]

So Sick

[@mikewilder6121]

Thanks

[@dannywilliam22]

How much for a trip?

[@cprashaw711]

Quick question and maybe you've answered it already and I missed it. I believe I have the same or close to same boat as you. What's your camera mounted on in the back of the boat? I have been looking to get this type of angle and can't figure it out haha... sick vid btw and congrats on a great day

[@rowenvandergriff3471]

would you ever try and do a baitsmith mag modification for the extra harness strength i just got one and i dont want it to break thanks i know you talked about it just confused me a bit

[@certifiedfishingcycling9208]

WAS I THE ONLY ONLY ONE STARING AT THE ROD TIP TIL MY EYES HURT?! GREAT BAG BY ANY STANDARD! WHERE ARE U FISHING? PART OF THE WORLD..LAKE?

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

I agree. The anticipation.

[@chrisfisher3900]

Damn man! To bad it wasnt a tournament. Might have blew out the weigh in bag anyways.

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Tourneys aren't my cup of tea. I might as well just go hand my money away versus competing.

[@JavierMartinez-wt9bg]

Funny how u say “yeah that’s a good one” I find them all good

[@scotthull2141]

love the large swimbait Bru. nice day there wow

[@bobsmith1841]

Was second and third catch same boat spot same cast? Or same boat spot slightly different cast angle?

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Same spot, Slightly deeper cast. 3rd fish ate not far from the boat.

[@michaelgruber616]

Glory Days...... hopefully I'll have one before I die

[@rawblow4512]

Im in the same boat LOL. Lost my wife, lost my bass boat and lost my health, hopefully one day i will be back out their one day!

[@VanGuard1020]

TOADS!!

[@bassjunkie4881]

Gotta say it again wow my pb is 7 pounds 11 ounces on a frog I’m definitely getting a swim bait set up

[@JD-qw4bo]

Isn't that where all those trout get dumped down those boat docks to feed em?

[@kevinatwell9781]

the hinkle is the shizzle

[@ethanwright8701]

Just curious to why you troll out, make a cast then troll back to the bank and fish from there? Do you do that on every cast when fishing deep? Great video!

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Not on every cast. Just when I'm targeting specific spots and want to present my bait in a way that others may not.

[@5over10]

Are you moving the boat over the spot you think the fish are holding? Or make a loop off the spot and cut the corner with the bait. Thanks

[@jrotters4]

On the second and third fish, are you letting your swimbait sink all the way to the bottom out in the middle like that?

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Yes, it was sinking to around 20-25ft.

[@rawblow4512]

With all the foot controlled stuff out now, when is someone going to invent a foot controlled fish net that temporally attaches to the boat and hit the button and the net swings upward scooping the fish at the side of the boat??

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

😱😱😱 HOLY BEEP what a day

[@bfelt33]

do you fish scan the lane you cast in for those long deep water cast ? or just let it fly ?

[@JBfishing619]

Is this at lower otay lake ?

[@in_shape_angler_1189]

JB fishing lower Otay all day.

[@dutchfarnsworth3213]

Damn what lake is this ?????

[@norrycha9844]

What type of rod and reel set up were you using in this video..

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Dobyns 908. Shimano Calcutta 401TE

[@norrycha9844]

Working Class Zero cool thanks

[@jacksonsmith373]

which one of the dobyns champion swimbait rods is suitable for hardbaits like the slide swimmer 250 and softbaits like the 8” hudd and 7.5 battle shad

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

The 867

[@jacksonsmith373]

Working Class Zero Awesome, thanks!

[@AddictedAngler]

dude !! u neeed to get a bigger net for those monsters u nailing :D

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

ABD. The basket is plenty big, just the handle was a bit short. Sorted that out now

[@AddictedAngler]

looked like u need a bigger one :P , sweet catches brother, just started on swimbait game and keeping a close eye on ur channel, soaking in the info slowly

[@northeastbassin6193]

Love ur vidz ... just like ask what are you targeting when ur long lining like that I live on east cost so just Curious what structure you’re targeting

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

It varies from lake to lake. Could be just a hump or ledge or rock pile. It all depends on where you are fishing.

[@jeremyconkwright3636]

When long lining like that how much line are you letting out and how deep are you getting

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

Almost 3/4 of the spool. 401TE with 20lb.

[@mojondro]

That was a better bag than the 98 percent of the pro anglers bag's

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

True but it was also a lake that I fished regularly. A luxury that most "Pro" anglers don't have.

[@Twangtown7]

Friggin hawgs!

[@DamianMarshall5]

On fish 2-3 were you working out around that tule point or some other submerged structure and were you adding length to the cast in case of a follow when you trolled into the tules or was that to be more stealthy?

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

There will be a video discussing why I did this very soon. Its a multitude of reasons.

[@briancoble590]

Feather hook?

[@lamontewyche2071]

What rod and reel combo do you use along with what line? That’s incredible

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

I have a Rod and Reel set up video

[@pepevillalobos852]

Anyone lmk if they'd be up to go tear up otay in a week or two I don't have a boat n would enjoy getting on the water

[@bobsmith1841]

When you gonna get back to Canyon or Saguaro?

[@WorkingClassZeroFishing]

This fall/Winter?

[@bassjunkie4881]

Wow

[@tylerr.3209]
