MLF/FLW GRAND LAKE DAY 2 (Its comeback time)

[@donflanary166]

To the people who said his Co didn’t have a chance they are wrong. If you have been in the back of the boat it is great to have a boater who is on fish, can’t stress this enough... you make your own luck out of the back. There are fish there, just got to get them to bite. It’s always a joy to net fish for your boater. The opportunity to learn is priceless. Good video. It was good to hear you encourage your Co and give him the Green Light to cast anywhere he wanted except for in front of the boat. Good stuff...

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Thank you

[@BodeknockerBrumbill]

Great video. poor kid in back had little chance, but seems like he could have stumbled into something near by. Those cuts looked awesome with the mixed rock and pea gravel.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Why?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

You’d be surprised how many coanglers have won the co side while I sight fished.

[@BodeknockerBrumbill]

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Yea, he should have been able to get a few bites since those cuts were narrow and you told him he could throw almost anywhere. Looks like he blanked though.

[@rogbass]

Love watching you work.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Thank you

[@koryscullawl8895]

I woulda paid entry and showed up like Hallman with one rod and just stood on your deck and watched you sight fish...worth the price of admission to learn there.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

thanks I appreciate that

[@dong8307]

Great action. Heading to Grand in a few days. Hopefully the cold front won’t hurt the bite much. Nice comeback!

@@kevinwill8542 Great. Spending two days there. Looking forward to it. Has the water cleared up any?

It was just getting good when we got there.

10:24 definitely wasn't the kids fault. Or anyone's honestly. How big was she?

Oh I know that, he just felt bad I told him it just came off for no reason.

I really like all your vids, Solid tourney for sure. That kid ran the 40 in 4 secs. flat on the net, I thought he was going over a time or two LOL

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I know so did I, he was quick

[@chrismargarum6863]

Excellent showcase todd, good comeback....I love watching you work, I can watch you do this 24/7, I just wish the kid got there a little earlier to get that one, it looked a fat Sallie, he tried he damn near went in the creek the way he came up out the seat for it..lol I hope you get one soon it's well deserved brotha...

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Yea he was quick for sure, I should have kept him buttoned that was on me

[@jimanddocsoutdoorfun4096]

Congrats on the comeback. Nice learning experience for your co angler!!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Thanks 👍

[@kenappleby8481]

Grats on the comeback. Always a joy to watch and see how well you present yourself and great character around others. That kid did a heck of a net job on that next fish!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

He did a good job all day

[@jeffparker8733]

Thats cool you were giving that young man some pointers. I know it was probably an intense day. You could tell he was shook when thought he missed that fish for you. He was hussling tho

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Yes he was

[@jackwaring2457]

Awesome comeback! Your co-angler got a once in a lifetime chance to watch you in action on sight fishing. Wish I could get the opportunity to fish with you one day!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

That would be cool

[@mrgungho]

Net Boy on point

[@Eric.C78]

Damn son I think you definitely got the quickest and hardest hookset on tour!!! Right up there with Swindle.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I think I got him. LOL

[@barryeslick1967]

Man, I got no idea how you can see 'em in that low light. I'm envious!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I think its just years of starring into the water I can do it 365 days a year for 12 hours a day, it never gets old for me

[@treygulley]

Awesome comeback! I had a question about Rayburn and I figured I’d ask an expert, is Rayburn red a year around thing or just in the prespawn?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I rarely throw red but its definitely just a pre spawn deal

[@scottclark1168]

Great video,big jump up the board,man you have got to have 1 of the quickest hooksets in the game,I would hate to get hit by 1 of those flying bullet weights,lol,nice job

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I know these were some of the most nipping bass ever. It was just all the bad conditions that made them bite that way.

[@Mags120fish1]

Nice job!

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

T hank you

[@riceman898]

damm... super quick hook set. Congrats on the comeback.

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Thanks man

[@errolsigue4419]

That co angler didn't have a chance

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Why?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

I love this comment, I need to get all the coanglers that have won events while I’m sight fishing to comment and be on my channel. I could have been the guy that was not around any fish.

[@errolsigue4419]

@@toddcastledinefishing5924 you right they have a few of them run right over the boater

[@davelong3350]

That Co absolutely had a chance...a great chance. Todd was on fish and on the right ones. I was a Co in the Cal Delta where my pro spent two hours on a big girl locked on...I fan casted a swim worm and nailed two 3lbers, spawning flat, perfect. Just gotta grind...no doubt that cut held more than Todd's sight fish.

[@jimmyh4239]

Are you fishing the Pickwick Open next week?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

No I backed out to fish the Toyota on my home lake Rayburn it was a tough call but I got a chance for AOY

Gotcha....Good luck Man!!

Austin’s a excellent net man

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

He's good fishermen from what I've heard

[@GMarshfishing]

Did you try the Hunter at all? Or were the conditions not good for it?

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Yes I threw it for about 10 minutes and caught one. The way I had caught them in practice were on certain types of banks and cranking down there has burnt me before. I'll explain in my JUICE video.

[@phillipbanks1348]

Good job man!!! What colors were you using??

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Some green some brown I just pick what's ever available, I'm sure they were California craw, moon juice, and crawdaddy.

[@joshuanewsome5298]

Nice comeback Todd. I've got a question for you. If I were a co-angler in your boat in this tournament, could I stand up on the front deck with you and watch. I understand that I couldn't fish but could I stand up there and learn? Your co-angler looked very young and maybe thinks that the money he could win in this tournament means more than the information he could get. Personally, especially if I had a terrible day 1, I would make a deal with you that I wouldn't even fish if you would let me stand next to you and watch. No questions, just stand there leaning on the net wearing sunglasses and hope I didn't get hit with that sinker on one of your swing and misses. I'm gonna send this to my little brother. He thinks I'm just showing off when I swing on one and look foolish when I miss. I tried telling him that if it's a big fish it's important to hammer that hookset when you have a big hook but he still thinks I'm just showing off

[@toddcastledinefishing5924]

Everything you said is correct. Yes you could stand up there all day if you'd like I wouldn't mind. Yes you can't fish while being up there and some might not let you because it would bother them but not me. I actually invited him up multiple times and let him watch a little and he took me up on the offer. Normally I don't set the hook until they have it but certain circumstances dictate their behavior. Every single fish acted the same way and none would eat and swam off. I had to time it perfect when they would snip at it, just one of those things.

[@austinchandler9550]

I was his co and let me tell you it was well worth the money to fish out of the back I learned more that day than I ever had in a single day of fishing I would do it again any day of the week Todd is one heck of a guy and an even better teacher

[@joshuanewsome5298]

That’s awesome man. I’m glad you took the opportunity to learn from Todd. That’s kind of a once in a lifetime kind of thing. Bed fishing is absolutely an acquired skill and takes a lot of understanding bass instincts I guess. I am trying it for the first time this year and man is it frustrating. I’m trying to learn how to read the fish. I don’t really have the confidence to stay on a fish that long if I can’t get it interested in 5-10 minutes. I was trying to catch one on a bed at Dale Hollow the other day that might have been the biggest bass I have ever caught. My biggest is a little over 8 and I think this fish was somewhere between 7-10lbs. I tried for 2 hours and got it to bite once in the first 15 minutes but couldn’t get it to go again. That’s pretty humbling. I have no idea what it weighed really but I had just caught one off a bed right before and it weighed 5.78 and the bigger one looked twice as big to me. I felt sorry for you when Todd lost that good one at the boat. I could tell you felt slightly responsible and I’m glad Todd let you know that it was no big deal. As I’m sure you know that stuff just happens. You came off like a good young man in the video and I wish you luck in your future tournaments!

[@mikedaley2882]

I've fished grand alot ( I live near Joplin mo) and for whatever reason its fishing tough this year. It seems like 98% of the bass are using 2% of the lake. That place will humble u. Good job tho brother.

[@kevinwill8542]

So different for me this year..I been tearing them up....best spring I ever had here
