Fishing for GIANT Bass in a Loaded Pond! (Fall Bass Fishing Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas)

[@dann.294]

Great fish! Love the fall fishing, love throwing cranks

[@mattfrederick8799]

Leeeeeeets go! When you put in the work you will be rewarded.

[@thesouthwes]

Yessir! Just keep grinding and you will be rewarded!

[@scottdebruin3651]

Congratulations on the fish. Nice to see big ones around. I've been doing really well on shad colored Evo chatterbaits. Better than the Jackhammers and only $10 compared to $15. I was using a bottom bouncing retrieve on them. I appreciate what you do.

[@thesouthwes]

I guess I need to try the evo! People have been leaving positive comments about them. Glad to hear that you have been catching some fish man!

Thank you!

[@repairdrive]

When sticking to your gut instincts pays off!! I have a smaller Ark lipless and it is the only one I throw. 👍

[@thesouthwes]

Yessir! I think I know what lure you are talking about!

[@chrisr2746]

AWESOME FISH MAN!!

[@thesouthwes]

Thanks!

Congrats I just caught my pb at lake Arlington

[@thesouthwes]

Heck yeah! That’s awesome!

[@bass_stache]

Solid catch brotha

[@thesouthwes]

Thanks man!

[@ntxlunkers8477]

I got a hog from there on a jig skipping under that "dock". That Speed Spool LFS is one of my favs, just a workhorse. Aluminum frame under 100 bucks, I have a few of them.

[@thesouthwes]

Yeah my LFS has been doing great so far. It’s good to hear that you caught one under the dock! I never catch anything around the dock when I go!

What pond is this

[@Innercityoutdoorsman]

Nice one

[@thesouthwes]

Thank you!

[@JL050]

Need some sustained periods of rain in DFW. All the ponds are so low.

[@thesouthwes]

Yeah we do! That rain brings life to the ponds every time

[@wesleyharden-nd8jf]

Do you ever use the Bill Lewis rat l trap? If so, how do you like it?

[@thesouthwes]

I don’t use it much. I have liked them when I used them in the past

[@jeffjamison9242]

Strike kings thunder cricket > jackhammer

[@thesouthwes]

I like the thunder cricket.

[@gibreezy]

What was the name of the color of that lipless crank you used

[@thesouthwes]

Silver black back

[@gibreezy]

@ I looked these up online, do they come without hooks? I’ve always bought crankbaits that already come with the hooks on there

[@gibreezy]

@ what do you recommend throwing here in DFW around this time of year, when the daytime temps are between 40-50

[@thesouthwes]

Lipless crankbait and jerkbait

[@gibreezy]

How do you know what kinda baitfish are in the pond you’re fishing

[@thesouthwes]

One way is to look at what people have logged on fishbrain. I saw in this pond that some one was catching Shad in a cast net. Fishbrain is like a fishing social media app if you haven’t heard of it

[@Carlosm02tx]

What spot is this😭😭 I’m new to fishing

[@PondmonstersTV-n3f]

Can you tell me the exact location I cannot figure out the link

[@FishermanFred2023]

Haha. I hate when they bite the tip off the Chatterbait trailers.

[@thesouthwes]

Yeah it’s the worst! I feel like I need to put on a new trailer!

Senkos catch big hogs!!!

[@thesouthwes]

I caught a 6lb bass on a senko one time. I used to catch some nice ones on the guadalipe river with a wacky rig. Now I feel like I catch bigger fish on crank baits
