Lake James my first smallmouth in 4 years. The bass slam is easy at this lake

[@damonhoffman4183]

Nothing like hooking a smallie! I'm still after a 18" to way in. I only catch 15" smallies lol. Great video man. Wattsbar and Chickamauga is a 18" min. The bigger they are the better the fight everytime.

[@landonmoore76]

A 18" smallmouth is huge. They fight like crazy

[@travisfox5034]

That is, indeed, a Kentucky spotted bass. I have a farm pond stocked full of them, largemouth, and some of the biggest red breast bream you'll ever catch. Just caught a 16" and an 18" KY on a frog out of it this weekend.

[@landonmoore76]

Sounds like a fun pond to fish. A 18" Kentucky is big

[@travisfox5034]

@@landonmoore76 it's a great pond. Was stocked with f1 hybrids 35 yrs ago and I have barely let anyone fish it for the last 20. There are some monsters in here. Biggest I've laid eyes on was 6.8lb. Few large mouth in here too.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Enjoyed the adventure! Great video and catches!

[@landonmoore76]

Thanks it's a fun lake

[@robertcox815]

great video, i love catching smallmouths, looks like the water got a lot of pollen on it now

[@landonmoore76]

Yes alot of pollen on the water. Catching smallmouth is the reason I go to that lake it's awesome

[@mlchang101]

Its always that clear man

[@landonmoore76]

It's crazy so clear and fish will start schooling in 100ft of water way different than I'm used to

[@kandareefing7245]

I was just there. First time catching smallmouth. Love the lake. Caught nothing but smallmouth. Lol

[@landonmoore76]

It's an awesome lake great views. Awesome smallmouth is probably why you came to that lake

[@bryanhenry2855]

[@landonmoore76]

The kayak is a challenge but it's fun. Thanks for watching

[@TWC6724]

Hang in there. It gets easier the more you do it. I came from a boat as well.

[@JohnWalkerCharlotte]

Gawd dawgitt!

[@landonmoore76]

🤣🤣 if the fish was big, it would have been a blanked out sound

[@paintergonefishing7933]

Looked like a great day

[@landonmoore76]

Thanks that lake is fun

[@jasonpadgett9615]

Good video Hammer!

[@landonmoore76]

Haha you guys make it look easy there idk how you catch a big bass on that lake

[@SuperJbaby1991]

There’s actually a lot more spots in that lake than people think.

[@landonmoore76]

Yeah more than I thought, and in 10 years it'll be full of spots with very few smallmouth

[@Hatedepot]

Headed to Lake James next weekend, usually do Norman/mountain island. Any recommendations on how to fish?!

[@landonmoore76]

Fish rock early with swimbait and jerkbait. When the sun gets up fish the laydowns with a wacky rig or Texas rig. If you can see a bed at a distance cast to it and you'll catch them
