Two 9lb Florida Canal Largemouth Bass. Fishing Florida Day 1

[@blakequinn9675]

There is a 0% chance that bass is over 7lbs

[@Vykk_Draygo]

24 inches, pre-spawn? 0% chance it's under 7.

[@AprilsFool.]

Ik im late, but i agree because i caught a 6 pounder that looked bigger if not the same as that

[@Dudecifer]

It’s about 5 lbs

[@ncallmegeo]

cant go based on looks of the camera

[@ebcrew]

5 or 6lbs

[@cliff4ever]

I forgot my scale lol, instantly adds 3 lbs

[@Texasdipper96]

😂😂😂👏🏻

[@adamgregory9198]

It’s cool to see how far you’ve come man. From filming to fishing, you’ve come a long way and really stepped your game up.

[@TheSpoiledOnes]

i think that was like a 6 lber, idk about 9

[@SnorryHobo]

+TheSpoiledOnes well he did say give or take a few...lbs lol

[@chrisl3839]

LOOK LIKE NORMAL 5 LBSERS TO ME. NICE FISH. RESPECT THE FISH.

[@coreypetroskey4222]

never lay your fish on ground or dirt, it removes a protective layer of slime that opens the fish to diseases in the water

[@howabouthetruth2157]

+Corey Petroskey (GamingWithCorey) I just posted a comment saying the same thing, lol. It's true. Bank fisherman fishing for bass should pack a piece of plastic in a ziploc baggie to lay on the ground. The smooth plastic helps preserve the slime coating. Then just rinse the plastic & dry off & replace in the ziploc. On my bass boat with carpet, I use a smooth rubber mat if I need to lay a fish down. And for some reason, it is usually the larger bass that die the easiest from laying them in the dirt & grass.

[@BR0SIMMORTAIL]

thanks

[@sajsaj9782]

good to know i will stop doimg that immediatley!!!

[@lisabennett3880]

+Corey Petroskey (GamingWithCorey) I eat mine so I'm not worried

[@nativeojibwa9063]

+Lisa Bennett I catch and release bass not a fan of the taste..

[@BrianaPageHasbrouck]

This video just gave me life. Moving to Cape from NY and all I do is go bass fishing lol so happy 😍 btw nice fish 🤙

[@NDsauce30]

You brought the whole halfway house back with you, nice

[@bernier14]

Wow. 2 bass over 9 lbs that's great. Nothing beats Florida bassing

[@DarkDaggerRSPS]

You can consider that second fish dead. If she's still alive she's lucky. Never grip a bass like that it is known as the death grip. Also, try and keep the fish off of the ground, especially the big girls. Lastly, even if it's a dink, drop em in the water man don't toss em so hard. Nonetheless great fish and awesome footage of florida fishing. subbed.

[@cbar6537]

Exactly what I was about to post.

[@lilpants9724]

Thank you!!!

[@drinc21]

I live in boynton beach it's pretty cool to see someone in my neck of the woods

[@justinsoper2495]

Hey I just caught a 7 and a quarter today from boynton beach and it was 23 inches

[@MagicMikeSkishing]

Dang one hell of a friends aunt! Nice video

[@reeljourney]

I miss fishing the bank down in those south florida canals. Fun times. Nice catches!

[@Bassmastersalad]

no where near 9

[@Silkk32483]

It looked like his arm was going to snap! lol but you're right nowhere near 9lbs

[@jamesireland1638]

+Jason Cappuccino you must not watch his videos catches alot bigger fish than that

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey FishAholic's and fisherman the weight of 9lbs is an estimate based on Floridian Length by Girth Weight Ratio. The WEIGHT can be what ever you want it to be. Many Tackle shops in Florida backed me on the estimate from "Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Florida Bass Weight Calculator" here is the link legacy.myfwc.com/fish/ After punching in the length and girth of both fish (Big Bass 1, 24inch length and 18.5inch girth) (Big Bass 2, 23.5inch length and 19inch girth) you can see the calculator show's the estimate's of over 9lbs by clicking the link and punching in these measurments.

[@mikebledsoe2315]

That was some awesome fishing...

[@compcast]

I know the felling of catching a hog and not having your scale it sucks at least you got video good catch

[@kanchanachampa2856]

ɷɷɷɷ Heeyy Friendsss I Have F0unddddd Workingg Online Hacck visittttt : - t.co/buF2m2sXBc

[@YTTechSupport1]

Would rather you not come to my state and abuse our bass. if you catch them, don't lay them on the ground and keep them out of water for a 10 min talk. you most likely killed that 2nd big fish. Kill them in your own state, leave ours alone.

[@Gotafish1]

YTTechSupport, Could not agree more. Acting the fool, laying fish on the ground. Nice fish no doubt, but probably died do to not giving a crap about the fish.

[@JC-ns5uo]

i love Lake Ida. Fished some small tourneys there. Them were some nice fish anyways.nice job!

[@kevindanner2090]

Florida must have some badass bass fishing Down there

[@FillALimitFishing]

Beautiful fish! I see that Mojo Bass rod, I have a bunch. Solid product.

[@RunninLines]

There is some pig fish in florida man. My biggest has come off of a golf course pond, 28" L with 20" girth. 13# fish. Loved the video keep it up!

[@BitetheBaitFishing305]

very cool video bro. thats the way to do it here in our canals got to keep trekking till you find the hungry ones. tight lines.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +BitetheBait Fishing I always like to hear good feedback. Tight Lines to you as well my friend.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

well done dude! lookin forward to this knife fish...

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +Sea-Money Fishing yeah hopefully in a couple days it will be posted.

[@MonkeyDLuffy-db4fo]

Wheres the 9lb bass haha.

[@predwards8941]

This is the first video I’ve seen of this guy and I kept thinking to myself damn he’s got a really crazy Florida accent

[@flapjack622]

Predwards 89 not even close to a florida accent 😂

[@kyleblum3831]

*(breaks the hook)"the fish snapped it"*(forgets scale at home)"its 9 pounds!!"

[@initialdrifter666]

Nice dude! those areas are really close to where I live!

[@masdenball6422]

Adil Ahmed what canals are those in?

[@nimbosoup]

I'm sorry but there is no way the first bass was 9 pounds... I would say a solid 7 And that's being generous.

[@MrPaLmBeAcH80]

those two were really big, but the 9.2 pounder I caught was 29 inches. those are maybe 7 pounds

[@nectcruiser]

Congrats on those 2 monsters Good job my friend Have fun the rest of your stay

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +Alf anderson II

[@iFishMNchannel]

Bass are probably the funnest fish to catch when you can get into big ones :-)

[@FishAholicTV]

+iFishMN Yeah haha the first big one literally beached himself was not much of a fight haha but still fun.

[@iFishMNchannel]

I love top water action on the small lakes around here, the explosions are intense :-)

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah you can never beat a top water bite for sure. I cant wait to get back down south again.

[@Fishingwith1SG]

Cant beat the bass in Florida! Nice fish for sure.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks man yeah definitely a lucky catch on my first day there hitting the first stretch of canal and doing this well

[@Fishingwith1SG]

The bass are crushing the bait down here right now. My wife and her friend both caught their PB in the last 2 weeks! Fish on brother. Subbed ya, keep up the content!

[@FishAholicTV]

Wow nice good good job helping the ladies catch there PB! Thanks again tight lines to as well!

[@user-qo7qc5em5t]

Jesus, how long did you keep that fish out of the water? Good Lord man

[@dirtdemons737]

We caught 24 fish in 3 hours at our local pond! But these fish are massive

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

PIG ! I like it that you don't use fowl language, and that you don't show the spring break party seen. Good job, great fish! Try the zoom magnum finesse in the green pumpkin, it works great too.

[@FishAholicTV]

+dan hufferd Thanks glad you enjoyed. I'll take a look at that zoom bait next time I'm in the shop.

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

+FishAholic Fishing It doesn't look like much, but it works great on a shaky head or my favorite a slip sinker, you can wacky rig it for the drop shot too, or cut it in 1/2 like a ned rig.

[@Fishpilot]

Pro Tip: don't hang around the edges of canals in Florida too long after a fish catch.

[@THECOUNTRYNINJA]

Were *

[@eploucher]

can u realese them any harder

[@hoguejp]

my 24 in bass weighed 7lbs. was post spawn though.

[@thejadashow1039]

very lucky to land any of those fish on a 2.0 hook you should be using a 4.0 hook

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah i know haha im a northern angler the second bass broke the hook never had a largie do that. played the loto but lost that night. lost all my luck.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Nice couple bass. Congrats. Although my experience tells me they were both hovering right at 8 lbs each. Certainly no heavier than that. I know because I have three 12 lb bass under my belt, several/at least 4 or 5 that topped 10 lbs. One 9 lb, and countless 7 & 8 lb'ers. I know from experience that "length/girth formula" cannot be relied upon. I've tested the formula against scales that I know were accurate, and the formula is "all over the place" and was wrong every time. You really need to pack along a 30" by 12" piece of plastic just big enough to lay out on the ground, if your gonna do that with largemouth bass. The smooth plastic will preserve the protective slime coating on the fish. Laying them in the dirt & grass like that, rubs most of their slime coating off, and their chances of getting a fatal infection, especially in these nasty shallow canals, is much greater. The fish can die hours or days later, even though it swam off just fine. And trust me, I have seen plenty of these Florida bass die from doing just that. Before we "knew better" as kids, we did the same thing, and quite often go fishing the very next day, only to find a bass we had caught the day before, floating dead on the surface. A piece of plastic can be rinsed & wiped dry to fold up & place in a ziploc baggie to stow nicely in your tacklebag & take up virtually no space. I use this method EVERY TIME I fish from the banks. And on my bass boat with carpet, I use a smooth rubber mat for laying fish on when I need to. For some reason, it is the bigger bass that die easier when their slime is rubbed off in dirt & grass. Just sayin'. Enjoyed the video, thank you.

[@FishAholicTV]

+Howabouthetruth Sounds good and thanks for your advice and input. Yeah thats why on the weight I never said "I Caught two 9lb Bass" through out the video I state estimates. Ive been told bass in Florida weigh more then bass in the north. Which I can see to be true. What is your opinion? My apologies for laying the bass on the ground I should know better but I got the butterflies of Florida fishing and needed someway to record the length or the biggest bass I ever caught.

[@bassinterceptor9634]

8:10 mark.....I know that feeling. Great vid

[@fishnwithad2854]

A lot of you all need to lighten up! Great catch

[@jonhenning]

I can't wait to move to Florida

[@skynetonline]

you won't regret it, make sure you rent or buy with a canal in your backyard

[@mattjones1378]

Just great, more northerners coming down here to create more traffic and make living in FL suck more.

[@spencerwimpe6570]

Im from CT and traveling to Jupiter florida in march and want to do some bank fishing to get on some big florida largies, does anyone know any spots?

[@oreothepomeranian1340]

Spencer Wimpe lake ida

[@joevanderhart3068]

9 pounds total? Nice fish but five and a seven maybe

[@lancethegimpyfisherman1050]

Where the two canals intersect did you see a guy down there fishing next to a white pick up truck that day

[@FishAholicTV]

No the only fisherman I saw was a guy by the shopping center with a fly rod to the left of the intersection on the south side of the the canal.

[@jonaikeldelgado4223]

Here at 12am on 2024 watching u catching bass 🤟

[@raidermando7140]

Man.. Those are some quality bass! Congrats on what I think was your PB Day, you said you caught two in the morning? & 3 including those to beautiful females in the afternoon? Man what a solid day! CONGRATS!!

[@amateurhour2314]

Great fish man! Loved how hyped you got when you caught those two pigs.

[@Exploremorefishing]

Your the Rick Flair of fishing 😂 excellent catches my friend , keep up the great work

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +ufounddiesel74 Tight Lines out there this year the weather is getting warmer fish are going to be biting.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

+ufounddiesel74 "RIck Flair"???........I would take that as an insult. I don't know how any grown man can watch that ridiculous fake shit.

[@FishAholicTV]

+Howabouthetruth I did not really know who Rick Flair was it until I googled it, but said thank you out of the context of the sentence.

[@Exploremorefishing]

+FishAholic Fishing for the record you rock and you know it 👍🏻 second I was referring to the woooo and the enthusiasm every time you catch a nice fish , (Rick Flair was known for always saying wooooo lol) by no means was this an insult

[@Exploremorefishing]

+Howabouthetruth this was never an insult

[@hughmungus7756]

If u happen to fish south of Ida I seem to do better there than anywhere in that chain of lakes.. Good luck. tight lines.

[@christosantos2227]

Sick bro congrats ..! When i was down in Fl i use the same rig and i love it but my PB get to 5.5lb to 6lb ... sick video as always 🙌🏼👏🏾🙌🏼👏🏾

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +christo santOs Wait till you see day three fishing Florida I catch a freshwater fish bigger then both these bass. Fishing a pegged texas rig is one of my favorite ways to fish up and down the coast its so effective. Tight Lines!

[@zsozsousa1]

I am going there to fishing a lot. Actually just came back , caught 3 in 4 hours. Nothing big... Are you still in town?

[@leviglass871]

Look at Trokar hooks there as strongs as can be! And great video those were a couple toads!!!

[@markclifton4944]

dude great vid and awesome job on those two hogs...need to come fish guntersville lake one day bro

[@isaaccraddock3632]

Think maybe you wanna throw your fish a little farther 😂

[@Chag2point0]

This was a super fun video great job.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +Christopher Chagnon Tight Lines!

[@smokster0604]

14:47 Believe.......great job from a fishaholic......

[@ACDCRD]

This wouldn't happen to be the lake tarpon canal is it?

[@velonifishing5516]

Awesome dude. Congrats on the Personal Best. 👍

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +Veloni Fishing Tight Lines!

[@bassbites2681]

Lol those fish are not even close to 9 I'll give the biggest weight is like 7 1/2 pounds

[@j.d.williams6882]

Caught some really nice bass. Sure hope you picked up that can out of the water too!! Great to have a nice place to fish but if we don't take care of them more they will all be trashed. Nice vid though.

[@arlisgordon6382]

Hey man nice fish! I'm going to Florida right in ft lauderdale. Do u have any tips on where to go and can anyone fish that canal or is it private?

[@Siwulam]

Hey those were some good size bass. Definitely not even close to 9, more like 6. Still a 6 pound bass is big. 9 pounders have more belly to them.

[@lancethegimpyfisherman1050]

H Drop a decent snook at my neighbors house today yesterday seen some down at Boynton Inlet didn't have the right fishing equipment with me to fish for them was targeting other species

[@FishAholicTV]

Nice man cool cool. Im counting the days till im in the orange state.

[@willwalke820]

Ok I just want to say that when a bass starts moving its tail you need to let go I know when you catch a big one that it's hard to let it go I've been there but just a quick tip!

[@brianestes4172]

Dude you're the man bro!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks +Brian Estes

[@lancethegimpyfisherman1050]

You should drive down and bring your kayak If you have your kayak I can definitely put you on a big snook

[@sicfishing401]

thats one crazy crazy day! grats

[@reelfloridafishingexperien5621]

Those bass are under 8 pounds but they are still nice chunks.

[@raymondjones5009]

Tops 5.5 pounds.. not a chance on this planet this fish is anywhere near 9 pounds. And an FWI I live in NJ and 5 pounders are definitely not rare. They're good fish for the state but I definitely wouldn't say rare....

[@CrashOutTiming718]

Raymond Jones jersey fishing doesnt compare to fl

[@cameroniames8890]

just get the thick wired hooks I love those hooks

[@nicksmith1123]

Nice bass, but those big females you really need to get back in the water QUICK. The spawning females can't be out of the water for very long at all.

[@lancethegimpyfisherman1050]

I pulled one out last week off the Bank over six

[@FishAholicTV]

Nice yeah i would be happy with any bass over 6 haha.

[@masdenball6422]

Lance The Gimpy fisherman where do you fishing??? And what canal number is this?

[@Dustybawls725]

Those are nice bass. The 2nd big bass was maybe close to 8lbs at best. Either way, I would love to catch them

[@sprake3]

Where do you park your car to fish the canal?

[@hmt4138]

Nice video bro and some really nice catches But one piece of advice is to get the j hook or whatever it is called for your head mount to reduce the shakiness sound, other than that your video was awesome and I can see your page getting popular later on

[@FishAholicTV]

+Meandguns413 Cool Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I'll look into it.

[@hoodyhoo1004]

I’ll never understand people who toss fish in the water, I feel like it’s safer and way more fun to hold them in the water until the shoot off

[@tristancarter1972]

HI just moved to Jacksonville wondering if anyone could help me find some places for some killer bass

[@anthonychiappetta9225]

hey man if ur every in south west florida let me know id love to take you out on some big salterwater fish

[@FishAholicTV]

+Anthony Chiappetta Cool cool sounds good thanks I really want a redemption on the Snook. I fished for snook after this day, in a kayak that I rented and connected with 3 Snook but they all got off the hook!:( Even the little one because the rubber on the DOA shrimp slid down the shank of the hook preventing a solid hook set.

[@anthonychiappetta9225]

white zoom supler fluke weightless is my go-to for florida tarpon/snook in canal wait for a big tempature change or right before it rains and they will be feeding like crazy

[@FishAholicTV]

Cool thanks for the advice. Yeah actually my first bite of the day from a snook came on a white fluke its the same thing as a zoom super fluke just made by Creme lures. I got that bite just flipping under docks and my drag was set a little loose and I did not get a good hook set so the snook got away.:( It was only like 5-6lbs but it would of been an awesome first snook.

[@GoProJet]

Scale or it wasn't caught

[@antonelawrence6654]

that bass about 7lbs at most !

[@loadthebowl]

why would you not have a scale

[@floridahuntsman7915]

We have fish . Those are really nice fish .

[@tylermcardle4137]

i live in davie and im looking for lakes to fish

[@JohnnyBlaze6954]

Hi! Im from San Diego, CA and am visiting family in Boynton Beach next month! I was wondering if you would be so kind to Private message me some general areas of good canal bass fishing! Illl be there for a week and am looking forward to catching some Florida Largemouth!!!

[@TeamWildCardFishing]

Sweet fish dude!

[@damonoutward8971]

This bass is definitely not any where near 9 pounds. Large mouth during spawn measuring 24 inches are pushing 8 pounds. Get your facts right man.

[@bigeblunders]

what is your favorite species to catch?

[@jasondampier5854]

ron jeremy is the man

[@StrikeCityDMV]

great fishing bro

[@Paul-lb1cq]

I got a 26 incher in NJ

[@lancethegimpyfisherman1050]

You didn't catch any peacocks out of that Canal because That canal is loaded with them

[@TylersReelFishing]

That first bass was definitely on a bed haha

[@gustavodaza29]

+TylersReelFishing i never new you watched small channels vids!! thats why i follow you on every social media!!! :)

[@johnnybui6422]

If I were you, I'd start a conga line celebration down the canal... LMAO It was sick to see 2 giant fish like that in one day

[@FishAholicTV]

+Johnny Bui Fishing Haha yeah I should of started a conga line. I did have a celebration though laying on the floor cheering and hollering LMAO for a guy from Jersey like me those fish are something you don't see everyday.

[@cbar6537]

That first big fish was a high 7 max

[@bluelobster007]

2 t-rexs!!! subscribed.

[@tylermcardle4137]

where in flordia is that

[@tylerdrew1770]

Sweet video!

[@nickmartin7556]

Im usually not the one to criticize but a couple things rubbed me wrong here man. First thing was that you were laying those big beauts down on the grass for a period of time for a measurement. As you probably know, that will damage the outer layer of slime they have and leave them more susceptible to disease and harm. Also, that can that was in the water when you released the last one.... idk your take on this but if i see trash in the water or around where im fishing I pick it up and take it with me to dispose of it. Just my opinion man, you can take it or leave it.

[@FishAholicTV]

+Nick Martin I hear you, but considering what I did by placing a fish on the floor for a sec compared to Elite series Pro's flipping big bass on to there deck boat letting them flip around all over carpet I see what I did to be a little less of a huge problem. And about the trash if you watch the entire section of the video on that release "I state "Please help clean our waters!" so with that being said I did pick up the trash but in the video it is hard to pick a can up when you are releasing a big bass and a camera is in my hands. Theres many things to think of before you criticize. You should protest tournament bass fishing because all those bass with holes in their lips probably is not good for them either. Tight Lines.

[@nickmartin7556]

+FishAholic Fishing, you're right on the boat flips man for sure! but 2 wrongs dont make a right is what i was always taught. kudos for picking up the trash. Didnt mean to bust your balls dude. Regardless, nice video! Beats my 6# PB in Ohio haha. Btw i use a 3/0 EWG on those baby brush hogs

[@FishAholicTV]

+Nick Martin Again I hear you and up north I'm use to catching small bass on average from 1-3lbs and with a good bass 4-5lbs with my PB northern bass being 5lbs now after visiting Florida I got rid of the big fish jitters and have learned and will be more prepared next time to handle a big fish. Stronger hooks, Rubber mat or net, and scale. I'll probably bump up the hook size next time I head south or fish Florida as well. Thanks for being cool, Tight Lines again catch a 7+ this spring!

[@nickmartin7556]

+FishAholic Fishing Hell ya man keep up the good work
