Fish after fish came off of the True Bass Swimbait and it was unreal the amount of fish that would bite this bait! Pickwick is definitely one of the best smallmouth bass fisheries in the south!

Who is SmallmouthCrush?
Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of years. He is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His KZbin Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict! Hope you enjoy!

Bro y'all were on them stronger than a garlic milkshake!!! Nice catch

[@porthos6914]

This same thing happened to a guide and client below chickamauga dam about a month ago. They caught close to 60 smallies and many over 4-5lbs! These dams are truly special!

[@ThomasHardenFishing]

Fitting video for the channel name. Awesome bag of fish! That current gets mean near that dam.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun and something different!

[@jasonbreard3828]

Travis you might have found someone with more crazy in them then you! Fun to watch two guys who have been crushing it forever still have the passion- thanks!

[@niksutherland4280]

This was an amazing fishing video

[@G-BAGSPLAYS]

For some smaller fun, I caught at leat 30 smallies in 4 hours at lake Britain in California, then caught a awesome rainbow trout in the neighboring Hat creek

[@richshackelford5793]

Good stuff Travis

[@thepursuitofdiscovery]

Amazing fishing!

[@angleratlarge6787]

Crush how can you tell the difference between a LM & a Spott quickly? What are the main differences?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

For the bigger ones it really is the size of the mouth (jawline), markings, and the ruff spot on the tongue

[@mitchc5538]

Hey Awesome stuff guys! I had a question. my dad and i are planning on trying lake pickwick below the wilson dam and other spots. is mid april a good time to do this? And is the current to rough for a jon boat in mid april?

[@jaredkemperfishing]

[@DotTheExplorer]

Travis, was this your first time using a baitcaster?

[@tylerpolitte8601]

Rick Kaufman no he has a bunch of bait casters

[@DotTheExplorer]

Tyler Politte I know I’m just being a clown, all we ever see is him usually with a spinning rod. Just a reason to leave a comment to help the channel. 👍

[@SmallmouthCrush]

LOL, I knew you were messing with me Rick! Spinning rods 80% of the time!

[@tylerpolitte8601]

I have used the baits a little and they are awesome haven’t caught one yet on them tho

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Keep trying! Let me know how it goes!

[@5.7.0bassin2]

Hey travis i live up in nepa right buy the susquehanna what temp do you think the smallies start to spawn in

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I would say if it gets to 60 at night and stays consistent you can start to find them spawning.

[@bowhunter63sm]

[@SmallmouthCrush]

[@igotnothing2657]

How do you guys rig your true bass swim baits. I am not sure how to use the true bass screw lock on a swim bait.

[@brandonbrightfishing7477]
