I love it! You’ve proven a point that I’ve always wanted to prove to bass fisherman..when you hook a big one you don’t have to do all that nonsense of bending your knees and workin the rod this way and that way, or runnin back and forth from the front of the boat to the back..just reel it in, play it out, reel em in, geez..no need for the theatrics lmao

[@RiverCertified]

I'm far from an expert, so I can't say much about what's necessary for consistently landing ol bucket face.

[@willristau846]

never imagined the day would come but earlier today I finished your last podcast. When you're back up north, you and Ryan are going to have to get back at it! I'm an electrician too and have been listening to you guys all day at work for the past few weeks, makes the days great! Keep up the good work bud!

[@RiverCertified]

That's awesome man. I'm not sure how consistent it will be, but we did record a new one yesterday.

Nice bass u caught,that was a neat little pond your freind has.Spencer,one of my old highschool buddies was just out in Arizona watching the Cubs Play.I thought that all the teams played down in florida for the pre-season.shows u how much i know about The MLB,i use to watch pretty many cardinal games(and Cubbys) and back when my pops was alive he had season tickets as he worked for the city of st.louis so i would try to attend as many games as possible,the seats along 3rd base line were pretty awesome.Thanks for takin us fishin,its always appreciated.

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it Jeff. I appreciate ya watching.

[@timothymilam732]

I'd say that was a win all across the board, because beautiful scenery and time with friends and family rules everytime. Glad y'all got to come visit down south, that's better than sitting around waiting for the weather to change up north any day. Glade to see I'm not the only one to hand the ole man the pole so he had a chance to catch a bass or twenty in his old man stage. Funny now it's me in that stage, and the grand kids hand me the pole with a blue gill full of red worms. The never ending circle of life continues. Y'all be safe, and stay well. If you ever want to see something beautiful, take a trip to Caddo Lake up in far northeast Texas. Only true natural lake in Texas, full of more cypress trees than you've ever seen in one place, and average of 8' across the entire body of water. Was created by a flood on the Red River, and supposedly wiped out the entire tribe of Caddo Indians that was caught off gard one night during a bad storm. Story goes that it rained so much, that it caused a major log jam across the river, and it backed up flooding the area they had their village in one night with no way of escaping. That's what I've always been told, and what's in the history books. Along with local folklore, and backed up by archeology studies of the region.

You haven't hit the saltwater yet, but just the fresh water is enough to give ya an idea why I didn't go back to living just a few miles south of your home. 3 months of work, 20 total hours of fishing, 3 days back in the midwest and I was headed this way for good. Were some very nice bass. I know, 4 letter word.

[@RiverCertified]

It worked good that day. Might be different if I tangled with a big dog.

[@ryanharrod1155]

When I lived in Florida I would fish for largemouth all the time. I like using artificial but if you can get those golden shiners your buddy was using. Those are gold. If there is a bass anywhere around they cannot resist them. Great video bud 💪🏼

[@jakegravesoutdoors]

This video is awesome! Love a good ole pond filled with some largemouth bass. Would love to see you target more species. Go for some trout in the Appalachian and we can fish!
