I hit that like button before I even watch the video. Gotta support a fellow East Tennessee fisherman! I gotta get me one of the cranks.

[@mxwelch]

Love the videos. I fish Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia and the bodies of water are so similar that your videos are very beneficial. I'm going in the morning and I'm gonna try this very technique. Great job!!

[@robswestvirginiabassfishin617]

Awesome video! You’ve completely sold this hardcore Strike King user on the Money Badger.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s an amazing bait!

You need to get berkley to sponsor you. Because of your last video and mostly this one i just ordered a bunch of those money badgers! Keep up the good content! Maybe we will run into each other someday, I fish Nashville area and west Tn.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’m sponsored by Berkley! They are an amazing company to work with. Hope you enjoy them!

Another awesome video. I've been slaying them on an orange crankbait to lately. Don't know what brand it is but I had gotten it in a monsterbass box a while back... Love your channel Alex 👊

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Thanks for watching Josh!

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent! Happy New Year to you, your family, and the beard.

[@CookingandFishing]

Are you hitting anything with that crankbait or reeling through open water?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Great question! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqSxq4iwapaUf6c - check out this video at 4:00 mark - I talk about depth.

You slammed them Mr. Alex 👍🎣

[@upstateangler9575]

Up here in upstate NY we are going to have Temps in the high 60s .We will be out on the water. Crazy to think we cab fish open water in NY in January. Definitely going to try some of these tips.

[@victorxavier9977]

Good video Alex thx 🍻 to a prosperous New Year 👍

[@Wrongomer]

Update, the ice is still here 🥶

[@austinholden2826]

I got a question Alex how do you catch bass when the water temperature is between 39° - 40° degrees? 🤔

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I got a video dropping Thursday that answers your question.

[@austinholden2826]

@Alex Rudd Fishing oh alright because it was our first time back out, and idk what the heck we were going to catch them on lol 😆

[@codybuchanan3972]

Is it only cloudy days your cranking. I really appreciate and enjoy your channel.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Nope I crank when it’s sunny. We’ve just had crappy weather lately lol

[@codybuchanan3972]

I live just across the mountain I fish lake hickory NC a lot. Just wanted to start cranking more

[@oldfishermanandhisdog]

Didn't hear you say how deep were you fishing? That was a pretty steep bank so I'm guessing your boat was sitting in 15-20ft water?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Great video Alex. Which lake are you fishing in this video. I've been fishing Norris and the fish haven't been hitting a crankbait for me.

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

If i was that far off the bank at Center Hill I would be in 60+ feet lol

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’m sitting in 25-40’ - These fish are suspended on the walls. Buddy of mine has been waxing them on Center Hill with a Money Badger 😁🤙🏻

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

@Alex Rudd Fishing thanks for the reply I'll give it a shot 👍

[@dmanswift6801]

Are you making any bottom contact when your cranking like this? How deep are you sitting compared to the crank bait when you’re retrieving it? Love the videos man!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqSxq4iwapaUf6c - at the 19:45 mark. I explain this exact question 😁🤙🏻

[@dmanswift6801]

@@AlexRuddFishing you know what I already watched that video, I forgot you said you didn’t need to necessarily touch bottoms. Could you tell me what lake you’re fishing? I live in east Tn and fish Douglas Lake every week. Tight lines brother.

Do you keep bottom contact most of the,retrieve

Hope to toss the Ole cb around tomorrow. Nice job. Alex what scale is that you are using? Looking to upgrade mine this year. I like how it beeps when it locks weight

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I got it sent to me years ago. I honestly don’t think they make them anymore.

[@JonR35]

Are these cb still getting it done in Jan?
