The CHOPPO Challenge! (TOPWATER)

[@marcuspadron6792]

That's what I call two good friends. The one buddy that lost was a great sport about it and that was a great video to watch. I enjoy the top water explosion 💥 💥💥💥

[@jamesatwell6446]

Awesome fun video guys !! Your banter was hilarious 😂

[@tbaz1990]

Great video man👊those all black Choppos are so sick. Definitely going to have to find some.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thanks dude! Appreciate it 👍

[@todddickinson3262]

Man I love the consistency of your interaction with your subscribers and fans. So many guys these days don’t bother, but it makes a difference. Have really become a big fan of yours and it’s for the same reason that people always loved Jimmy Houston, Bill Dance, Roland Martin, etc... What do you all have in common? Simple... Just good guys who are humble, grateful, and talented...

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thanks for the kind words Todd. Much appreciated sir!

[@todddickinson3262]

@@JustinLucasFishing Most welcome man! All the best to you in the next step on your ladder to the top!!

[@Efishnseetv]

Yo Justin! Awesome vid man ... was just wondering if you prefer the 90 or the 105 choppo and why ??

[@JustinLucasFishing]

I like the 90 if I am targeting fish that are 1lb-4lb. If they are bigger than that in the lake I am fishing I bump up to the 105 or 120

[@xiaozhang6223]

Should reel it in alot slower, pop it more, and stop it. Guarantee more hits. Don't be afraid to hit deep water with them. Loud prop will draw them in to come up at it. Learned alot from just focusing on the lure within early morning, during the day to late evening. Even in windy choppy waters, I've succeeded with alot of catches. Choppo120. Doesn't matter too much on the color as I've used them. It mattered more was with the action.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thanks for the tips!

[@iphone3gsdivine]

Wow you should make a fishing channel.

[@kalebz8287]

The choppos are amazing. I have almost landed some monsters already but ive gotten a good bit on it. Very fun to use

[@darkhorsefive0]

The two things that seem to get me the most Choppo bites are: 1- When I start it up the instant it hits the water without letting it sit. 2- Steady reel it, medium speed, and add occasional micro pauses during the retrieve. I’m talking stop reeling, but instantly start back. Like as soon as I stop the handle turn I start it back up. The majority of my Choppo bites come within two or three feet into the retrieve after the instant start, and right after what I’m calling the micro pause.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

I agree that’s when a lot of bites come!

[@tacklebxministries]

I like how you used the time laps in the video. It shows how you run & gun thru out the day, while catching as well. A much truer example of a day on the water.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Appreciate it dude. I will keep that in mind in future vids! 👊

[@frankiethefrog1752]

Bought my first two. 120(maverick black) and 90(bone). Can’t wait to give them a try!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Hope you catch some hogs dude!

[@bronson16]

Love the Choppo! You guys both win the challenge in my book, those were some very nice Bass!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thanks dude! 👊

[@Hatikaukerasstories]

I often get a big snakehead with this choppo..its like a killer lure for me..but this black choppo doesnt sold in my country 😅...i need to find one

[@kodymackie6808]

Dude your channel is my favorite one as of now, mostly just fishing and great shots and sound, please don’t turn into the other guys with all the other b.s.! Love it man, your okeechobee footage was amazing!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Huge compliment dude! I plan on keeping it this way. Thanks for the feedback!

[@dawg564]

And no one said "That's Fire" in this video. Thank God. Nice content guys.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Appreciate it man!

[@markthomlison7256]

Great video footage, I’m buying my first set of Choppo’s this week.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thanks! Hope they work just as well for you as they did for us!

[@adams97]

And thank God, Berkley started making hard baits again. For the money they are easily best bang for ur buck. Great colors to the Fusion trebles. Easily best stock hooks on the market. I own every style

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Awesome! I agree. Glad to hear that!

[@gtb2710]

Hey Justin.....Fantastic edits and content on all of your Videos.....keep up the Great work

[@rivercityrambler7751]

I have choppos in 75, 105, and 120. Love the black(Maverick)120.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Love the Choppo........even more than that other one hahaha

[@Jake4211-]

I came for the fishing, but I really want to see how you boys grilled them steaks🤗

[@JustinLucasFishing]

I believe reverse seared them but this was a few years ago so my memory might be off! 😂

[@Jake4211-]

@@JustinLucasFishing oh nice. I always enjoy preparing steaks that way🤙

[@alefadam9885]

I like your spot, i think i need this choppo it will replace the popper, im using the ultralight setup and this might be the solution on popping.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Let me know how it works for you!

[@ProjektyCAD]

Nice lake :) Where is it? For sure it's quite far from my place but I like it. Can you tell me what's the name of it?

[@slabslayer258]

The Choppo 120 is deadly on Rayburn I throw it a lot for top water bite over throwing the frog and I never see nobody else throw it .

[@Derrick2]

Next time yall should try this...paper rock scissors for who starts on the front then everytime the person on the front catches a fish you switch places.

[@cobra99ization]

Great video man!!!!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Thank you very much dude!

[@themanangel9433]

I have one quick question what r those white gloves for i see alot of ppl wearing them?

[@The_Great_White]

Great videos and advice, new sub here. So are those medium heavy rods cranking rods though? Moderate action?

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Appreciate it man! Yes, they are medium heavy, but do have a little softer action to them. Plus the 120 Choppo weighs an ounce and has #2 trebles so you can get away with a true medium heavy with it in my opinion.

[@The_Great_White]

Justin Lucas Fishing thanks brotha. What state are y’all in? That lake is gorgeous

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Georgia 👍

[@Silentplays3]

Nice fish Debbie!,

[@r.barefoot8386]

Love a good topwater video! We’re into November here in North TX and I still can’t get off the topwater bite. That orange accent at the front of the bait was smart IMO. I agree on the sound. Sometimes a higher pitch sound can be better, but more often than not I prefer the lower pitch sound for topwater. It carries farther in the water and as you mentioned...it’s an aggressive bait!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

I feel ya on the topwater bite! Always sucks when it goes away for the winter!

[@FishingwithNordbye]

Views going up! Loving it.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

👊😁

[@JBOutdoors]

That hook set at 2.38! How do you not have like a million subs?! This was a great video . Liked and subscribed

[@JustinLucasFishing]

🤣 I wish! Just got started on KZbin. This is my 7th video but lots more to come! Thanks for the sub and comment 👊

[@FishiganMilligan]

I’ve had zero success on topwater lately. Used to love throwing the River2Sea equivalent but nothing right now.

[@williethomas1866]

What's the whole name of the bait and where can u buy them at?

[@northerngrit9656]

When the topwater bite is on Choppos' dominate!

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Agreed! 👊

[@brockisfishing703]

Great video i have the same choppo. Haven't had any luck yet though.

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Appreciate it dude! Getting close to too cold for topwater bites here in Alabama, but come April and May they will be back on it!

[@brockisfishing703]

No problem man. That's what i was thinking im definitely going to keep the choppo in my arsenal.

[@gewglesux]

I need a buddy like that to fish with..

[@adams97]

Now I'm kinda confused on the braid with fast action rod on treble hook top water setup? Better than flouro but I've learned from pros like you that best is crankbait style rod as in parabolic bend to set the treble properly. Now I've fished 7'2 rod MH Fast action but use Trilene Big game mono for the stretch and for the money it's the best. I just always used and thought braid was more for single hook or frog style setups????

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Braid is also awesome for almost any topwater but you need to use a softer rod. The strength of rod should depend on the size of the treble hooks on the bait.

[@adams97]

@@JustinLucasFishing I do see it alot more often now with ppl throwing whopper poppers or choppos on braid which makes sense when casting long distances and setting the hooks well. So should I use like my MH composite crankbait rod if I choose to use braid??

[@bdrfishing8006]

What lake are you at?

[@JOovshak82]

What size Choppo you tossing? 120

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Yup. 120s in this vid

[@bamadondon0495]

Dude i just bought this rod TODAY just because of this video.. an man for 79$ u can NOT BEAT THE QUALITY... SERIOUSLY. i have over 100$ rods that dont feel as good as that rod. I paired it with a lews speed spool an omg.. Heaven.. J/Lucas i blame u why im 79$ broker.. but i love the rod

[@ns7027]

do spots and largies hybridize?

[@JustinLucasFishing]

Yeah they can. Don’t find them too often.

[@TheJacobb46]

Awesome stuff y’all still sorry for fishing burton without me lol 😂 it’ll be so good this winter ❄️ I can already see it but also not used to the spots to be that long and bony this time of year normally they are fat fat but awesome as always Lucas !!!!

We ran 4, but only used 3. I am editing everything myself dude. That’s why there’s no music lol! Too time consuming to find the right music and where to make it fit. That’s the next thing I need to learn though.

50 pounds god damn, I thought I was going over kill with 15 mono lol

Lol! 30lb braid would be the lightest I would use. Just helps you good better hook penetration when you set the hook.
