Largemouth redemption // Long Lake, WA

What up ya bunch of hicks! After the tourney last weekend being won with a great bag of largemouth I was salty... So I set out to find the largemouth and I sure did. I caught and weighed 4 largies weighing just over 17lbs... that would have really helped me last weekend! But you live and you learn. Thank you for all the love and support, I appreciate all of you!

I didn’t realize that there are two long lakes in Washington.

[@Hickology]

I guess i didnt either until now lol

[@LangeGood]

ive been looking for bass at long lake

[@ZachNMcCall]

I am now looking forward to finding those green beauties on Long.

[@JustFishingTV]

Nice Find!

[@johnytheboss1058]

I love the consistent uploads Keep up the good work

[@Hickology]

Thanks man, I've just been on them the last couple weeks!

[@jemill65]

What part of Long lake did you catch them.

[@amocat11wilson48]

Is that a campground at the boat launch?

[@Hickology]

yes, that is 9mile resort

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

No PFD and alcohol is a tragic story I’ve seen like 40 times as a medic and fisherman…. Wanna see you for years to come bro..l Get that floatie on…we know it’s a pain. I just got a new ONYX VEST…can’t even tell it’s on. Tight lines bud. 🎣

[@Hickology]

In my new boat I wear my pdf but you’re absolutely right, I was completely careless. Good luck out there this year!

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

@@Hickology same to you brother...and I believe you...we all make temporary lapses in otherwise good judgment. I was 22 years Navy...and have been bad with pfd use at times. Whether rushed, or lazy...or just no good excuse. Just want you safe...and to go on fishing those donks! Love the content!

[@jimworley4485]

Good job on the videos Brother. Love that your videos are current, good content.

[@fishingwithspencie]

Me and drey are going to long tomorrow. Thanks for the video!!!

[@Hickology]

Good luck!

[@509bassin2]

We will be on this lake at the end of the month for a tournament. 1st time fishing last year looking forward to fishing this year. Good videos keep it up

[@Hickology]

Thanks man, good luck in the tourney

[@bparks_5095]

I just launched at that exact ramp yesterday, sadly though not to fish, it was 105 out so we were playing 😎

[@Hickology]

yeah when its 105 im golfing during the afternoons lol

[@timgeary6461]

Very impressed by you figuring out a pattern. Im heading to Eloika on Tuesday, can you give me any good ideas what to throw?

[@Hickology]

Hey buddy, i RARELY fish eloika honestly. but if i were go there and fish I would most likely throw a swim jig or chatter bait and try and catch some fish up shallow. Good luck!

[@billblood5316]

I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers and views. Your videos are great. I really enjoy them.

[@Hickology]

Thank you Bill! I appreciate the kind words. We will get there eventually!

[@petertupikov6248]

Love seeing the videos man! Makes me want to get out there some more.

[@Hickology]

I appreciate it! Get out and go fish!

[@Kristianshort14]

illlllseeeyahhh!

[@duane2786]

Are you going to start posting new videos?

[@Hickology]

I was planning on it and then my gopro stopped working day 1 of my first tournament this year. When i get a new one i will start filming my fishing again

[@tielhicks7463]

When you talk about the birds nest, that's right in front of my friends house. I have fished from those docks several times and never caught a bass over 1/2lb. :-) I can't quite cast to those reeds though. Might have to take the paddle boat out next time. Keep up the good work!

[@Hickology]

This was the first time I've really caught anything of size in ther myself lol I appreciate you watching the video man! Tight lines on the paddleboard!

[@mahanfamilyvideos]

Loving your channel highlighting long lake. Next time you’re on long lake stop by our dock. Directly next-door to the campground off of Charles (west side) “Mahan’s Sand Bar”. Love to meet you have a beer…

[@Hickology]

I will do sir!

[@BeardoPlaysGames]

Looks like a damn good way to spend cinco de Mayo! Love the vids man great to see a Washington fisherman out there rippin lips! Let’s see a potholes monster one of these days!

[@tonymccalmant444]

[@Hickology]

When Tony talks, I listen lol

[@keithclayton494]

Catching some donkeys!

[@davidoles5464]

we hitting silver this weekend any recommendations where to start

[@Hickology]

I usually start around the flooded timber and go from there working my way to the shallow side of the lake.

[@chasem3361]

Come back home and let's nail some I got some good spots on both sides of the dam for us bro

[@alexmadrigal7427]

Good fishing keep up the good work What is the correct address the lake so i can try to go fishing there

[@Hickology]

Its by spokane

[@roncunningham389]

Hi Gordy I fish rage bug a lot and the problem I have is losing fish. I have used several types. What do you use on the standard Rage bug.

[@roncunningham389]

That’s hooks etc.

[@Hickology]

When you're losing fish are you not getting the hookset or are they shaking you once they are hooked? When I'm flipping the rage bugs I use a 3/0 or 4/0 VMC heavy duty EWG hook. I like those over top of the standard EWG because they are MUCH more stout. I also ALWAYS peg my weight with a bobber stop and 99% of the time I'm using a 1/2oz tungsten flipping weight. When I'm flipping I use a 7'3 Heavy X-Fast rod although a 7' Heavy is more that sufficient as well. When you flip into cover i like to jig it up and down a couple times, when you lift up and feel the weight of a fish, reel down and then set hook HARD. you gotta make sure you can pop the weight through its lips to drive the hook in. Ive set hook gingerly before and fought the fish for a couple seconds and lost the fish. Reel in and realize the hook never went through the plastic so the fish had the weight in its mouth and when I set hook it never penetrated. Since then, I really jack them with the hook set. Sorry for the long reply LOL

[@roncunningham389]

Thanks for getting back to me I think I’m going to change hooks and I have been using a bobber stop little lighter than you are used three eights tungsten and I was using a EWG Gama so I’m going to get a little heavier and get a little bit more aggressive thanks for your input greatly appreciate it

I'm just here to steal your spots lmfao
