Insane! Night catches and vid 🇺🇸👍🏼💪🏼

[@shanezelazo2744]

dude that place looks epic can't wait to get back down there

[@brucecampbell5917]

I fished there opening day and caught 136 Bass. My biggest so far is an 11.68 , all on artificial baits. Have a 13.2 next door at Stick Marsh.

[@donaldgreen1595]

LOL That place is awesome

[@griffinranch3156]

Bro the patience in your hook sets is crazy! Great video. Subbed!

[@ChristianGreico]

Nothing worse than missing a big one because you set to early! Appreciate the sub 🙌🏼

[@griffinranch3156]

Amen to that!

[@dallash4643]

Ur spot almost looks like that little open patch Okeechobee

[@jaydenpfeuffer1893]

Great vid

[@henrybrown9451]

Great video

[@cbthrasher]

Damn I would love a day like that

[@davidwarren9761]

I would have had to try a buzz bait.

[@7inentertainment509]

crazy how big those bass get in 3-4 years

[@howabouthetruth2157]

We have the fastest growth rate for largemouth bass ever recorded in this area: 2.5 lbs PER YEAR average!!!

[@christiangennarofishing3211]

Going to go with my uncle soon to that lake

[@swilliams8097]

I enjoy watching your videos. What brand of popping frog are you using in this video?

[@ChristianGreico]

I started off with a Spro poppin and then switched over to a Jackall Gavacho

[@marykelly5453]

Nice video but just curious, being a yak’er who fishes there, why would most of those fish never seen a bait before, or a frog? What do you think we fish with? And you might wanna be a little more respectful landing and releasing them 🤷🏼‍♀️ we all want them to stay healthy and continue to thrive.

[@DannyBFishing]

Its cool thats it open to boaters but that use to be kayak heaven lol. Too bad I didn't get out there on my kayak before the boats got out there. Good video man! Those blow ups were crazy!

[@aaronhernandez8712]

Stop complaining if you didn’t even go lol

[@DannyBFishing]

@@aaronhernandez8712 not complaining at all lol

[@joeyTR21X]

Great video... Quick question? What model number you using to stick those frog bass? Phantom Rig Rod, Model???? Thanks, really like your videos keep them coming..

[@ChristianGreico]

That was a Phantom Rigged 7’8 Heavy! Perfect rod for the popping frog!

[@MattCaldwellFishing]

Crazy video! What was the water temp?

[@ralphgarbiras5450]

Place looks crazy good!! Can you run, and if so is it safe everywhere to run.. no stumps ?

[@ChristianGreico]

We ran around with no issues. I’ve heard of a few submerged stumps so I’d be careful. There is a 25 mph speed limit

[@ralphgarbiras5450]

Thanks for the info !!!

[@dano7476]

Why don't you release the fish with a little more respect for the sport?

[@sillyguy9828]

Do you think they will do tournaments there

[@ChristianGreico]

No, they probably won’t allow tournament permits to be pulled

[@lexm0]

An 8 inch megabass mag draft would get slllammmmeddd out there, easily could get a 35lb+ bag out there

[@kylemattix5561]

Just went there today frog bite is already slowing down lol alot of people hitting this place hard. Still absolutely killed it though. Amazing place! Sad that it will be shit a year from now

[@ChristianGreico]

That’s just any lake this time of year. I’ve been back and not done as well as this day. I don’t foresee the fishery declining anytime soon.

[@kylemattix5561]

@@ChristianGreico yeah man I definitely agree with what your saying. Honestly not trying to be negative because I really hope your right. I absolutely loved that place, for a number of reasons. All around amazing fishery. I hope im wrong. Nothing would make me happier than to revisit a year from now and have another day like the one I just had. I drove all the way from upper sandusky ohio down there this week. Just got back home tonight. Well worth the time. Best of luck brother! Thanks for the awesome videos! Got my sub bro

[@davidhall3024]

Can you get your boat on a plane in there or does the lake have too many hidden issues under water?

[@ChristianGreico]

You can run on plane, but they have a 25mph speed limit.

[@davidhall3024]

@@ChristianGreico perfect, thank you.

[@lancecooper5724]

Poor fish handling. Letting every one hit on the carpet. Not good.

[@txman201]

Bass were also tossed rather roughly as well. You can gently drop one into the water from a low height - OR - you can toss it like a basketball. These two must be basketball players.

[@maypex18]

@@txman201 no there just lazy ass millenniums .takes all the protective slime ff the fish...sickening

[@johnbowhunter7676]

Exactly!.. learn how to catch and release them!..

[@martykinder1585]

It's a shame to see those fish handled that way.

[@FisherHill]

you also need to realize that they were all 4-6 pounders and its hard to keep them in the air without snapping a rod. cut him some slack he is trying to make epic content for y'all

[@timjackson1896]

what’s the average water depth?

[@ChristianGreico]

Seemed to be about 4’

[@howabouthetruth2157]

If you get in the bottom enhancement areas totaling 2,500 acres ( 2,000 acres in one area and 500 acres in another), the depth is all over the place, from 4' to 15'. We're talking holes, ditches, ledges, humps, stepped shelves, etc. Best bottom enhancement ever done on any lake, barr none. Research it. I've fished it myself already. Your down scan will go crazy seeing it all, no joke.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Correction: They didn't stock the lake with 1 million bass until around 2014, which is 6 yrs ago. They hadn't even begun the entire project 10 yrs ago. But here in east/central Florida, these man-made impoundments have the fastest growth rates for largemouth bass in recorded history: 2.5 lbs PER YEAR! Florida largemouth bass grow faster & bigger, but their average lifespan is only around 8 years. So this lake already has plenty of double digit fish swimming around. ( There were much smaller water bodies, such as a few ponds, ditches & canals already on the site, that had pre-existing largemouth, and the biggest "native bass" the FWC was able to catch using electro-shocking methods BEFORE they stocked 1 million fingerlings was 7 lbs. That doesn't mean there weren't any bigger fish than that though. ) Oh, I almost forgot: In the past couple years, the FWC decided to shock up some big "breeder" bass from the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 lake right next door, to donate/stock in this new lake. I don't know how many, but it had to be quite a few, or why else would they have even bothered. ( Which is also an indicator for how great the numbers & size of trophy bass STILL are in the Stick Marsh/Farm 13. BOTH places are some of the best trophy bass fishing in the world, but the new lake is better, as new lakes usually are down here. As a long-time bass angler here in south Brevard county since 1969, I truly believe that this new lake will take a lot of the fishing pressure off of the Stick Marsh/Farm 13, which should mean better fishing opportunities there as well. I just caught an 8 lb'er this past July 4th in Farm 13. Don't forget, we also have the fairly new Thomas Lawton/3 Forks conservation area for bass fishing too, only about 10 miles to the north. I LOVE living here in south Brevard county! So far, just from the Stick Marsh/Farm 13, I have four 12 lb'ers under my belt, losing several much larger, thirteen weighing 10 lbs, eleven 9's, and I literally can't count the 6 to 8 lb'ers I've caught here over the years. I sure hope not too many people see my comment, LOL. )

[@ChristianGreico]

Thanks for the information! There’s definitely an abundance of great fishing in the area!

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@ChristianGreico You're very welcome! And for anyone reading this, don't forget: The maximum speed limit is 25 mph throughout the entire lake. NO AIR BOATS ALLOWED. Night fishing is prohibited. The lake is open to fishing beginning 1 hour before sunrise. NO PARKING anywhere except for designated parking spaces, all others will be towed, even if parked out on the side of the dirt road leading in. If the place is full, you can drive to the Stick Marsh & fish right next door. The FWC says they will be enforcing these rules, so.......

[@joepotaczek]

nice information. plan on heading down to Florida in January and February Is this a good time to fish this lake?

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@joepotaczek Absolutely. The best trophy bass fishing in any of our local waters is anywhere between late November through April. That puts January & February smack dab in the middle of the prime months. VERY IMPORTANT: Keep a close eye on approaching cold fronts moving down here into our area, and try to time your fishing trip accordingly. Reason: The several days following a cold front moving through really shuts the fishing down for several days. STABLE, MILD WEATHER ( example: 2 solid weeks of pleasant weather with no cold fronts ) during our prime months usually produces the fishing trip of a lifetime. Stable weather present during the 3 days before, during, and after a full or new moon is even better.........I kid you not. 3 days of fishing during these prime times with stable weather conditions will just about guarantee a seasoned bass angler success that is nothing short of phenomenal. Expect 30 to 50 fish days with at least a dozen or more quality fish weighing 6 to 8 lbs, plus the excellent possibility of 2 ( or more ) bass weighing in the double digits. It's also worth mentioning that stable weather during these prime times assures clean, clear water. The fish can see your bait offerings from farther away. Jumbo live wild golden shiners is the bait of choice to assure the monster bass..........but lures can and often do produce giant bass here as well. I've done both, many times. Have a safe trip, operate your boat with diligence and caution due to a few water hazards such as tree stumps......enjoy, and best of luck to you Sir.

[@joepotaczek]

[@unicornsteaks6769]

I love those bruises and sore ribs you get from frog hooksets.

[@lilbeckham9]

that place needs a slot limit to keep fish, you can't have 1million bass and expect giants when they're competing for limited food
