Those are grass carp, toss out some bread weightless. Id love to see a carp video from you!

Those were gar, Because at one point LOJO had filmed one surface for air and you could see the upper jaw protrude from the water

[@connorphadongsy5741]

They are chain pickerel, they look like gar and I hear them called grass carp all the time.

[@ryanwopat4739]

WYATT HEMP grass carp are non native but are stocked in lakes and a lot of small ponds everywhere around the nation. They are stocked to help keep the waters clean and stocked ones are sterile to they can’t reproduce.

[@FishingFrenzyUSA]

H2O express is really good stuff and their warranty is unbeatable. Not near the selection of a Bass Pro Shop but still enough to keep you busy!

[@lojofishing]

Agreed

[@toguro5117]

Their baits are great for the money

[@brianhunt4117]

Fishing Frenzy USA I think I have some h2o express stuff but I’ve never used it

[@JBoutdoors24]

Honestly I think that you get more for money at academy.

[@BassMaster.454]

Bass pros just to catalouge and then you go to academy to buy baits

[@lojofishing]

Make sure to watch this video extra closely ;)

Agreed

I cant go and not pick up a couple H2O lures, they are so cheap.

They have the best fishing line in my opinion

Yeah man same here

Dang must of missed u at the classic I was running the airforce both for hours

[@5.0_patino69]

Never had problems with the h2o lures their super cheap and some decent quality hooks. I’d much rather lose a 4 dollar jerk-bait than a 9 dollar one! 😂

[@tylerholden2957]

I have an entire tackle box of Academy Lures. They are super nice. Their red crawfish lure had slayed them in my area ponds.

[@lojofishing]

sweet

[@bassman769]

Love the vid lojo!! H2O lures are freakin awesome!! Their multi jointed swim baits are great! I've got a slew of the jerkbaits! Basically I've literally caught fish on all the lures I've gotten. The quality of the baits are amazing especially for the price! Those big fish look like big carp to me lol.

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Now THIS is my kinda challenge!!! Academy > Everything else

[@lojofishing]

Hell yeah

[@InSaNeMoTIon1]

Last time I tried to win the baitcaster combo everyone said it was gonna be too hard to learn on, well I got a black max and I learned. Hopefully I can win this time so I don’t have to retie so many times! Thanks for the giveaways brother, much love!

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Gotta LOVE those Black Max Rigs. I picked up a combo a couple of years ago, and Re-Learned" how to fish with a Bait Caster (after being away from them for 55 years!). You can spend more, but the best "Bang for the Buck" is still with Lew's Products (in "My Books"!). Wally World has the Hank Parker Edition of Lew's Rods for aorund $38 Bucks, now! Not too shabby!

[@InSaNeMoTIon1]

Heck yeah man, It’s been great so far! I was looking into getting the American hero combo, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it!

[@lojofishing]

Nice

[@turinx]

I know I'm commenting a few months late on this vid, but great work again Lojo. I love using H2O, for the price you pay you are getting some really decent lures. I have used their top water frogs and I have caught decent fish on them. I have the jointed swim baits and a couple of spinner baits and they are nice as well. I don't want to oversell them, I'm not saying they're the best out there; but they are definitely worth giving a shot.

[@johngutkoska6804]

What kind of fish are the mystery fish? I think they are carp.

[@big54bob]

Carp

[@DanielThomason]

John Gutkoska I think so too

[@Ruben-pu5td]

[@shawnlitterini5751]

Grass carp

Maybe

Short nose gar is what it looked like to me when i zoomed in on the big one in front of that trap or it could be grass carp but i think it's short nose gar really enjoy watching all of your awesome videos keep up the great work lojo.fishing

Carp. Would love to see a carp fishing video. Last one I hooked was 20 lbs and gave me a great run. What a blast the whole time. They will test your line, gear, and your skill. You will have to use more catfishing techniques to catch carp but sweet corn or dough bait.

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Awesome video bud great challenge the lipless and jerk bait was legit

[@lojofishing]

thanks man

[@armandoromayor4349]

I'm glad I found you on youtube. You have great videos and your personality is great ! Keep up the great videos and keep having some good ol' fun.

[@lojofishing]

I'm glad too

[@haydentomcho6608]

That my friend was a grass carp. They are skinnier than common carp, but longer. You catch them on corn.

[@lojofishing]

ahhh

[@fatguyrocks0094]

Thanks for keeping up the entertainment brother!

[@big54bob]

Carp, use sweetcorn/bread for bait on a octopus hook.

Lets go good day or night hope you catch fish tomorrow my dad caught a 6 pound bass it’s on our wall though good luck

[@joshuatousey8103]

When I am Nashville, I make sure to stop in Academy. They don't ship out to me here in Cali. Luckily, I'm in Nashville 3 times a year. Change out the hooks and good to go. their Jerkbaits and TWS topwater are awesome!! FYI, that's one you should get (TWS Topwater - Shad 03) and their tungsten weights.

[@milesgraham653jsnrjdn7]

I REQUESTED THIS ON THE WAL-MART ONE!!!

I’m sorry, bro, but I’m glad to see you still throw birds nests once in a while! I hate doing it, but I don’t do it as often as I used to. Thanks for making these challenge vids. Still waiting for you to do that challenge on the wish.com lure. Oh and send me some Lews goodies!

I tried their hollow frog last week and it is amazing. i mean $3! That's way better than paying $5-$9 for a frog. You should try their rods. I have a friend that says that he's starting to become a huge fan of their products. They're cheap, AND THEY ACTUALLY AREN'T BAD! :)

[@tacticalmac731]

BTW i thought those fish were logs to begin with (O_O)

Just started watcHing your vids and Gotta say deff one of my new fav KZbin fisHers. Keep it up man. If you ever come to Kentucky let’s catcH some bass

Man I love these videos you make. I just went and bought a bunch of these lures and it’s awesome seeing they work just cause I haven’t had the chance to use it. Keep doing what your doing man. Awesome freaking video.

[@lojofishing]

👊👊👊

[@bradmcwhirt5504]

Great video! I’ve used a ton of H2O Xpress lures. The only ones I’m not too fond of are the deep diving crankbaits but those squarebills, lipless, and spinnerbaits are awesome for the price. I also like their tungsten worm weights. Watch for sales too cause you can get those hard baits for as cheap as 1.99 sometimes.

[@lojofishing]

Nice

[@JASON-lm4hx]

Thankyou for another video lojo.fishing!

[@lojofishing]

Thanks for watching

[@bjcox6695]

Hard to tell by the footage, but they're swimming like sluggish gar. 🤙 Long skinny mouths, then I'd say gar (live or dead baitfish, or sometimes you can use a piece of ⅜" double braided nylon dock line and make a hookless rig to catch 'em 🤙), if they have more of a round mouth they might be bowfin, but from your description it'd be a mega-load of PHAT bowfin. Hope this helps! 👍

[@bjcox6695]

I know you said they're not carp, but they're also acting like sluggish grass carp. If they're grass carp (sometimes you'll see 'em going nuts on vegetation along the shoreline early in the morning), throw bread weightless or with a light Carolina rig to get enough casting distance. 👍

[@Mid-Ohio]

Then Ozark Trails up here are only $1.50ish and they look nice and rattle to.Glad we finally got some of them up here in Ohio.Not to mention they have eagle claw hooks on them to!

[@ianwilliams3134]

Love the videos and music what beat is this in the background and do you produce them also

[@ttv_american6287]

The tiny lipless bluegill crankbaits is the best

[@garrettwhiting6550]

Hey look! Love watching your videos, just had another question! What is the go to knot that you tie (mono/floro/or braid) just seems like it usually works really well for you!

[@rodrigorenteria5364]

Hey lojo I have one of their jointed crankbait and the action is insane

[@gio_angler2346]

9:35 lojo that there is a common carp I have caught some of them and is just a very hard fight trust me plus I had no net and took almost 10 minutes ripping so much drag Also if you are going to fish them use a split shot and a small hook to catch them recommend to use a spinning reel

[@tobywelsh3865]

hey lojo.fishing love the vids keep up the good work just wanted to say that the fish crusing are indeed carp if in the right conditions they do get massive

[@lojofishing]

I agree

[@lucky_lurefishing5879]

GREAT VID BRO keep up the great work✌🏼👍🏼💯

[@UltimateNinja1984]

I'm on a Lojo binge!

[@jeffreylunday928]

Those are definitely carp. Snag one of those bad boys and you will have a fight! The H20 worm hooks are good too. Be careful when doing the thumbnail test though. I would have like to see how those H20 jointed crankbaits produced. At least you didn't get skunked.

[@codycarver8314]

Great video as always man. I been wanting to try the H2O baits, pretty sure TJ on yakpak cought his PB smallmouth on one

[@lojofishing]

Yes he did

[@matthewking8662]

hey lojo I am 12 years old and have been trying desperately to catch a fish in my pond. what lure would you recommend. ps there is not shad in the pond so they won't bite anything that looks like a shad.

[@lojofishing]

weightless worm, let it sit for 10 seconds

[@kms2628]

The H2O express wakebait in bluegill is a killer summertime bait. The one knocker is crazy loud, but the hooks do suck.

[@GeluNumber1]

You should fish for those mystery fish in your next video. I believe they're either carp or bigmouth buffalo - at 10:12 I can see one surface to eat cottonwood seeds off of the surface, a common behavior of carp and buffalo. Try chunks of bread, and chum if that's allowed.

[@lojofishing]

Agreed

[@josechili323]

Hey lojo always great videos just one question. i have black monofilament line on my baitcaster and I wanna know if color line or braid line make a difference? Can fish see the line color?

[@zacharykato2879]

@8:25 you can see the giant fish. Great video lojo.

They look like grass carp because there not showing aggression, and there swimming on top of the water. There more than likely for vegetation control very popular in ponds and lakes in the south.
