Brant go ahead and buy that lake. You know its on your mind. Could stock it and make a special place for families to come and pay to camp and whatnot.

[@Meditation409]

That was quite a treat taking us along on that trip! Thanks so much 😃🤙❤️

[@1016FISHING]

Largemouth is a sport fish and I love to eat them as well. Doing tournaments we throw them back 100% of them time. But there are areas that need them taking out to support the life of the water ways. Large mouth along with other freshwater fish can take over some water ways and actually stun the growth of the species so taking them out and feeding the family is a good thing. Great video Brant. Enjoyed it.

[@AstuteActual]

Sumter Co. FL is covered in old (and deep) limestone mines, but none of them are accessible to the public! There is one several miles South of where this video was shot, Brant, that used to offer a private membership to fish, but I'm not sure if that is still a thing! Being a Sumter native, it's who you know, when it comes to these prime fishing locations! LOL It's truly an experience! Kudos!

[@quitefrank123]

Even though it was none stop... Lip Rippin'- thx for quiet times & natural noises too Those moments takes our minds quickly to those to places that are peaceful. Why we fish. Did you try fishing at the bottom of water column? Keep bringin' it Brant- we enjoy!

[@addicted2fishing119]

The bluegill appear to be eating and tapping the bass in that lake 😂

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Great video Brant that was an absolutely beautiful Lake definitely a lot of fun when you catch a fish every cast those are some pretty nice bluegill too one of my favorite fish to eat along with crappie👍

[@hubertwalters6345]

I grew up fishing in miller's ferry, clay our lock and damn Harvard's lake Mifflin lake tensaw river middle river. Just about every where. Brings back memories. Keep fishing enjoy your show

[@wyoung3170]

It's been years since I've eaten lmb, brim or bluegill. They are excellent eating dude ❤ Awesome video

[@HudsonTaylor13]

Day after day more insanely good videos!! Thx so much

[@deweysteverson74]

Awesome, you were having a wonderful time on that lake. I can only imagine how much fun you would have had if you could have spent a couple of days on that lake. Under water shots with your go-pro would have been awesome to be able to see the fish swimming in there. Take care and keep up the amazing videos. I really appreciate the time you put into your videos. See you on the next video

[@hugh200]

Loved that content my friend. Great change of venue and big fish. As always, keep it up. Been watching for years and it never ceases to amaze me at your excellent diversity in methods and species content. Praying for you all. God bless..❤🙏🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TheManhu01]

This video brings back so many memories when I was a kid growing up in Orlando Florida. Used to live in Windermere fished the Butler chains. Brad, you should go to Lake Apopka. There’s a freshwater spring in the back corner of the lake with some huge striper bass. Lake is loaded with specs. Some of the best fishing if you can sneak in there is the Orlando international airport and the golf courses.

[@williambilly7758]

What a dream trip. Lucky guy you are.

[@Meditation409]

Dang Brant that looks like so much fun and its absolutely beautiful out there!! ❤️😃🙏

[@madhatter2465]

Damn, Brant! You did it again! I wanted to watch this video when you first put it out yesterday but my WI/FI went out on me and that was most of my day, you did good on this secret adventure on the lake, it looked like the fish were hungry on that morning, Brant please tell the people up here in NYC what is a shell cracker, it looked like you had a blast! Man, What a setup in your backyard! fish look good too

[@steventsunami9506]

Throwing a terrestrial will catch you every 1/2 lbs bass in the lake. Try a spinnerbait, skirted jig, or oversized soft plastic. You got to fish for the bass you want to catch. Thanks for the video

[@williambenner701]

What you call big bluegills, just shows me you haven't fished places were there are MONSTER sized pan fish! Like Havasu Lake, were you can get bluegills over 2 lb on the regular! That lake reminds me of fishing some overstocked pounds were the owners wanted me to keep every bass I caught. Just like this lake, it was every cast!

[@kaseyrutherford5145]

I'm not particular when it comes to size. I could catch those small bass and bluegill all day long. Cheers, Brant!

[@briansaben5697]

That’s what she said. 😂😂😂

[@theresapalmer5438]

We call those with the orange to red breast "Red Breast" in SC

[@RaymondKulig-cy4np]

Looks like a pit we used to swim in, in Jacksonville, Florida. SUPER CLEAR, MANY FISH, AND SUPER DEEP.

[@stephenbates8436]

Awesome video Brad. He up eating large mouthed bass in Ohio. Tastes is awesome!!! My brother bought a property in central/Eastern George's and it has a nice lake on it. Looking forward to fishing in it in June! Take care, Stephen

[@FondelMikeRotch]

Glad I live in Canada. I know of at least 6 lakes that may see 1 or 2 anglers in a entire summer. Thats including me. There are dozens and dozens of little lakes that may not have a fishing line in it for an entire year or longer. And yes generally incredible fishing. People generally like fishing with little effort, lakes that require some work or portaging are most likely gems. All OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

[@daniellagassee152]

That is quite exciting. Congratulations. I am happy for you but so stinking jealous. Lol. Great video

[@scottmay3620]

grew up at the north end of lake george on an island fond memories of weekend fish frys lmb all kinds of panfish eel gar striper catfish now i live on the coast right at the fl ga line nothing but saltwater i really miss the fresh water fish

[@reelivin8112]

Brant, Avid 62 ur old 7:10 subscriber, my favorite boat looking back was my camo painted 10’ jon boat. Throw it in the truck and go, fished pretty much 50/50 salt -vs- fresh. Salt is a 24’ Mako at the time. Great vid and Luck to fish that lake.

[@jg5428]

The odd bass was a spotted bass. Beautiful place!

[@williammathews6603]

thats cool stuff,not really a fan of freshwater fishin, but in a lake like that an da be shellcrackers hell yeah..crappie/shellcracker YESSIR! staysafe..

[@MrTelsonman]

Red breast sunfish. With those brim you were catching, crickets are the best when they’re on bed. Use a bobber and start slamming them. The bigger ones love crickets. Also, there will be bigger bass in there, but they’ll be deeper. All the juvies hang out by the shore unless they’re on bed

[@jeffbrummette1622]

That’s a spotted bass. Great video Brandt!

[@lizgibson5266]

I remember fishing a small spring that rarely got fished. I had the same problem. I couldn't get past the small ones to get to the big ones.

[@tntoutdoors_]

Well that’s why we work hard. To have moments like that !!! 🧨🧨🧨

[@Geterdone_fishing210]

Love your stuff

[@joeyhelton7114]

Very cool video.

[@josephcangelosijr.8492]

Brant, that was awesome. That was a beautiful lake. Unfortunately after development of homes around the lake it would become contaminated, because people don't give a dawn. That's all I can say. Glad you were invited to fish it.😊😊

[@AnglerUpTv]

The good news is that property isn’t developable. It’ll be sold as a fish camp or an aqua farm.

[@josephcangelosijr.8492]

@@AnglerUpTv that's the best news I have heard, anglers need a few good spots to fish fresh water and enjoy their day like you did.

[@winesap2]

I find that when there's a lake that's never fished, the fish overpopulate and they are all small and around the same size. You catch a fish every cast but they are all smaller.

[@josephwagner9201]

Fun catching big bluegills on ultralites.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I wonder if that mystery sunfish is a hybrid of a bluegill and a rebreast? I mention this because it's got a long operculum yet it doesn't look like a redbreast, longear, or pumpkinseed which all have that.

[@thomaswillett2212]

Hey Brant. Tom from Lake George, N.Y.. 250 mi. north of the dreaded NYC. MY lake is 32 mi. long w/ a width of 1.5 to 3 mi. wide. With a depth of 30'- 200+' deep. The bottom is lined w/ limestone. It was voted the cleanest lake in America , 2023. beating out Tahoe for the 1st. time. Heard you talking about how that 50 ac. lake was lined w/ limestone. In case you y'all come up north someday.

[@FishTheLimit]

I live just outside of Toronto Ontario Canada and I Love Bass!! Small mouth Or Large mouth! They taste Great! Just put back the bigger breaders

[@michaelsnyder2218]

Plus, I grew up catching eating largemouth bass. Every time I went with my grandfather and my dad both. We kept what wecaught

[@tenaciousdean]

My BFF is one of 33 owners of the number one duck clubs in Northern California. Start a club. I’m in

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Cool vid Mixin it up

[@michaelsnyder2218]

Hey Brant I’m watching this from Palmer Alaska. Haven’t come up here to save my mom even though this is beautiful. I would really love to be there catching those fish with you!!!

[@Fishing4Studs]

I'd love to see you go back out there targeting giant catfish and bass!

[@earlalford7694]

That would be a great lake to scuba dive

[@Paul.Casteel]

The bulegill are hug down there tge redear sunfish also know as shellcrakker to tell look behind there ear it's either red or orange. Also then look different abd are bigger then and bulegill.

[@billbaker3384]

Brant I fish Benvill plantation in white springs fla. Nice size bass in there.

[@riverratfishing]

I’ll never be able to buy it, but it’s nice to dream. So I’m guessing the fish were stocked at one point. Great video Brant. Really enjoy the content

[@williambenner701]

Well yeah...🙄

[@jodywilliams6165]

Love some fresh fried lmb fillets! 👍

[@user-uh5dg3ne4b]

When you first for small fish, you gey small fish. No jigs, in deep water with structure. Or spinning baits, top water plugs. 😊

[@unclee8936]

I know it’s fun catching bass every cast but it’s certainly not a good thing when they are that thin. We fought fish kills for years until we finally started taking out everything under 15 inches in our 50 acre lake. I certainly understand it’s not your lake to manage, just my 2 cents! Keep up the great videos!

[@danver1971]

There are so many different kinds of pumpkin seeds that it's difficult to identify them all. Bluegill, sunfish, red ear, goggle eye, warmouth....It's always fun catching platter size gills though.

[@DNice337]

There are 2 types of largemouth basses, the northern and the Florida. That different looking one was the northern largemouth.

[@daniellagassee152]

Now here is an idea. You buy the lake and then pick 50 people from your subscribers, once a year to go down there. How does that sound.

[@Homer24f]

Nice video. What kind of fish fryer is that?

[@hammer300rum8]

This reminds me of fishing way up north near yellowknife. Every damn cast you caught a pike or a lake trout

[@qaannat]

@17:42 looked like a green perch to me, but it's been a minute since I fished for freshwater panfish

[@johnkile571]

Did you and Bama ditch the kayaks ?

[@MrZnut]

Bass are tasty. They are in the sunfish family, like Bluegill, etc. and even taste similar.

[@laura01279]

I could eat my weight in bream! But, don’t filet them. Leave them whole except remove the head & guts. The fried tail & fins are the best parts.! Yum!

[@MrSkeetals21]

Would have recommended using big glide baits and making a once in a lifetime video. Hope you get a chance to go back and try that!

[@cayminlast]

That's an awesome quarry lake, you should try "The Quarry lakes"" located just passed the (Golden Gate) Toll Gate on Alligator Alley (Everglades Pkwy) where it intersects State Rd 29, there are about a half dozen lakes.

[@tombrown7577]

I'm pretty sure I recognized some background structure. That looks like a place in polk county close to where they mine phosphate for fertilizer. That area is covered with old mined pits that are chunk full of big bass. A lot of those smaller bass need to be removed from that lake by the looks of what you are catching.

[@mattw785]

That what color is amazing

[@comfortablynumb9342]

You need to buy that place.

[@BlairBrentsen]

What are shellcracker?

[@robertmadden8901]

Brant please send me info on how to buy this lake, thanks

[@jimhahn2728]

The red breasted sunfish is one of the largest. On the Suwannee River, they call them yellow bellies.

[@dustin2919]

You got to go back and throw a glide bait or magdraft and catch some giant bass

[@kenwiggins2699]

I would never leave from there! I would just fish forever and ever.

[@billbaker3384]

Looks like Newberry fla. Lime rock mine I used to work at.

[@AnglerUpTv]

It was 30 minutes north west of Newberry

[@onearmedbandit6936]

Those bigger bream are called Coppernose

[@motomike3952]

You gotta put the cooked fish on a cooling rack not paper towels. It’ll improve the quality greatly!

[@Deadcntr]

The limestone is the reason why the water is clear.

[@bradcranford2264]

I think the couple of fish you caught and didn't know what kind they were may have been a fish called a Warmouth.

[@tjmiller8086]

Too bad you didnt have a flyrod with a rubber spider or a smallish woolly bugger for the shellcracker. Those sizes really indicate overpopulation we also took that size home for eating, too.

[@thomaswillett2212]

you call them bluegills. We call them sunfish. Taste like chicken. We mostly throw them back. Good size, though.

[@user-lq1yb6uz1o]

I used to fish a lake in Volusia county Florida it kinda looked like that lake. It was a sand pit lake. They made it digging sand like 60 yrs ago. It was over 100 ft deep. There were absolute monsters in there. We caught some over 10 I lost one way over probably 15 plus. And I saw a dead one that was honestly like at least 35 inches dead. I have caught a 28 inch 12 pounder. It was way bigger. I wish I woulda have picked it out of the water just to measure and nail it's skull and bones to a board. But it was just nasty and rotted but if that fish was fat I'm pretty sure it would have went over 20. The lake is still there but they built apartments around it and it's not the same. I mean there is still big fish but they definitely messed it up. Just like everything else but it was one hell of a lake

[@sethmoore995]

Your mystery sunfish are redbreasts

[@redcorsair14]

Were those floating alligator traps near where you boarded the boat?

[@AnglerUpTv]

Those are fish cages. They shock the fish in the lake in order to transport them to the aquariums

[@paulchapman205]

I’m in North Carolina and one of the lakes I fish they want you to keep the smaller size bass.

[@tenaciousdean]

Get that lake bro

[@williamwilkins3046]

How much is that lake, it's a beautiful place

[@dakotamelrose7700]

Look like Spotted Bass…maybe Tiger Bass…those are my best guesses

[@zippy2641]

Green sunfish (?)

[@garryeadon9962]

Green sunfish

[@user-tt6ve1ur3s]

Try some top water

[@Larry-ok4vf]

Hey Brant, if it's on a dock or a boat, it's a line, not a rope. Just kidding kind of😅😅

[@patcrowe9780]

A ole man that had a pond we used to fish when I was a youngin said if it’s hand size it’s pan size and if you don’t want em throw them on the bank and let the racoons have a feist

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

That's where you need a fly rod in those Bream beds .

[@ajdayton101]

Wonder if those pan fish can end up cross breeding to some extent?

[@aaronk4310]

I wonder how much something like that goes for

[@This-time-more-than-ever]

Dink lake they call it

[@Mr1lolo94]

how much is the property?

[@briansaben5697]

$19.95 plus tax

[@williambenner701]

🤣! ​@@briansaben5697

[@williambenner701]

He said he has the information in the description.

[@iBon1wheel]

Expensive

[@jeffreygodfrey6576]

Its a green sunfish

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

But man fry those in corn meal . W alot of pepper , when you think you put too much pepper put some more , w very little salt.

[@AnglerUpTv]

I’m not a fan of cornmeal

[@earlalford7694]

The giants eat whatever they want lol

[@klingonsexy]

Brant, when you said shellcracker, I wanted to buy that lake for myself, but then I remembered that I'm afraid to move to Florida. 😥 Dang, I love shellcracker more than any other fish species! Edit: I believe those first 3 huge ones you caught off the bed were coppernose bream- I've only caught a dozen or so in my life, but they were all in FL. Great video!

[@wesanderson5103]

Big Bluegill??? Really ? Those were average to small in size. In Central Georgia there are red belly & yellow belly bream twice the size you caught. Plus Crickets is #1 for bait. Lake Jackson, Georgia Lake Ocoee have lots of 1 - 1.5 pound Bream plus 2-3 pound Crappie
