Hooked on Wild Waters S5 E6: "River Bassin' the Scenic Savannah," presented by GA Power:

Drew and known bass pro Gene Jensen (Flukemaster) decide to explore the scenic Savannah River rapids section. The duo are after some feisty smallmouth and hopefully some big 'ol largemouth bass.
They also learn more about the Augusta canal, its history, why it was built and what purpose it serves today. They also interview Steven King, of GA Power, to figure out how economic impact and river stewardship are a top priority with GA Power, and especially in locations where the river runs right through major cities like Augusta, GA.
Weird weather moves in and the guys work hard to figure out how the fish have reacted to the odd weather. Do they find the fish, or do the fish take the win on this fun day of river bassin'?

The most amazing thing for me was that you were fishing fast water rivers with 5 rods, two cameras, and a powerpole. I would have been tangled or snagged on a branch most of the trip. Great video and great skills. The experience shows.

Super cool to see this. I live close to there and fish it all the time. It’s tons of fun and you’re right it’s crazy how hard these fish fight!

Drew, glad to see you are still making great fishing videos. BTW, this is boyscout (aka Derek Porter, aka derekspace on KZbin). I recently did a Florida trip and took a gopro. Track down my channel and see the vids. Anyway, while down there I ran into Jean Wilson. What a classy sweetheart...and awesome bass fisher. Give me a call sometime. I want to hear about your family. We all thought you would stay single forever! LOL! Take it easy bro and keep making great fishing videos. As Stumphumper would say when he had a few...I love ya bro!

This section of the Savannah River is one of my favorites. It's not much of a secret anymore but with good practices this section of the Savannah River will prove amazing to kayak fisherman for a long time! I'm proud to call this area my home, I live only 5 minutes from the launch. Great video Drew!

[@drinkthekoolaidkids]

Nooo it ain't secret no more , not with social media now , when I was a teenager in the mid / late 80s me and my friends used to almost have this place to ourselves.

Wonderful episode with Gene Jensen, Drew! Congratulations on a great season of adventure with kayak fishing in some incredibly diverse locations! Thanks so much for the honor of being your guest angler on the St Marks, Florida episode and for the awesome shoutout in this one.

[@kevinfox8016]

Great episode! Glad you and Gene got on them and enjoyed your time on the Savannah! We love our little section of paradise. Holler again next time your down, I'd be happy to 'uber' you guys again. Always there to help our fellow kayakers and the kayak community. Tight lines brother!

[@JonnyAljets]

Great episode Drew and crew!! Congrats on another season as well, good times.

[@MackinNC1]

My kind of fishing....plan to hit that area soon. Been on my bucket list for a few years. Nice job!

[@jpvcwby]

Dang, I wish I would've had a kayak back when I was stationed at Ft. Gordon, Augusta. I used to fish the loc/dam near the airport from the bank and sometimes in a boat with buddies. Might just need to make a run over there sometime. It'd be well worth the 4 hours drive to fish those waters. I live about 30 minutes from one of the best PFA lakes now that FlukeMaster fishes on. Thanks for a great video You should talk to Gene about the Chatooga river just over in Alabama. I'm sure you know about it too. There is some great fishin in there just up from where it runs into lake Weiss

Where are you Drew? Miss your wild waters adventures.

[@BradHix]

We got that same mindset. Would love to get out on those wild rivers with you someday man.

[@JohnLee-vl8qk]

My man Jene!

[@chipverner5011]

Nice video. What kind of paddle are you using? Thanks!

[@jeremysmith693]

Put in location?

[@tuckessee]

You make great fishing videos- but who tucks their ears into their caps?!? Surely your sponsors can provide you with hats that fit, or do rhe tips just get cold... there's no rational explanation

[@RiverBasserDrew]

Robbie Neighbors I have a small head so if I put it on the normal way it pushes my ears down and they stick outwards and i look VERY silly. Plus I do like the fact that it protects them from the sun. Glad you liked the episode though!
