Just a couple weeks ago I found a smallmouth with a bluegill wedged sideways in his mouth. It was stopping him from using his gils and he was suffocating pretty quickly (I had just heard him try and eat it and was on the way to investigate). Got it out and resuscitated him and he gently swam off. Always a good feeling helping a fish in distress like you did here.

Great choice for the high sky at the end of summer. I don't know why bass hit them or the bubble gum yellow swirl color either. I can tell you I did some experiments with a weightless bubble gum Mister Twister worm in the baby vomit Exude scent. The pond bass were destroying them and it didn't reach the bottom often. I bought the Yum Dingers in 4 & 5 inch bubble gum lemon swirl and started catching plenty. I guess if the fish don't complain and keep biting then I don't need to know why 🤷 😅😅😅.

Just wanted to pop in and say -Awesome way to spend a day! It’s been a while since I’ve left a comment. Man you inspired me about 8 years ago to kayak fish, and I’ve become so adapted to my local rivers and lakes… upstate ny I have absolutely enourmous smallmouth in my river (and predator fish walleye and pike…10lb walleye getting caught weekly at the local locks) it’s a trophy factory fishery. I can’t say I learn a whole lot from the content, but that’s not what it’s about for me..I like to learn on my own with my own techniques ..but that’s fishing, nobody can teach someone to catch fish.. they need to be able to have the mindset and tools for the job. But this is definitely a goofy way to catch them lol.. my LMB lake has been super off since they treated it for HAB.. I get strikes in very thick pads on a frog but I’m sure you know that kind of hook up ratio. Pads that go back 100ysrds… 1 in 10 if I’m lucky. But before that, I was catching more quality and quantity than ever before. We are very like minded… I look forward to you videos every week , it’s 15-20 mins to “purely” relax , to me. Thanks Matt. I’d really like to see you fish more coventional baits like jerkbaits , *green pumpkin 1/4oz chatterbait miniMAX > 3.5” green pumpkin/charturese Spunk shad trailer.. it gets me those 4-5+ pounders on my river.. that exact combo on 8-10lb line is such a killer for smallmouth it’s unreal… or any baits. Goofy topwater is awesome! But .. I mean not manyyyy people have that luxury of the mid wests fishery’s .. but just do you man! Keep on keeping on!

Best advice is to try it on a smaller body of water where you catch fish. Then, try bigger lakes and rivers/creeks along shoreline cover. This has 🎉worked for this 53 year old more than once and for more than one technique. The 90s it was Texas rig Power worms, then about 10 years ago with a shaky head jig and this past 5 or so years the wacky rig. You can do it but it will be by sacrificing some numbers and catching to gain confidence and trust.
