UNLOCKING Alabama’s DEEPEST LAKE (264ft) - 2024 Bassmaster Smith Lake (Practice) - UFB S4E29

[@ILoveJigs]

Much respect to you man. I follow a few more bassmaster anglers that post their videos like a whole month after the tournament. I love how you post pretty soon after the actual tournament. Keep up the good work.

[@Lo_ren]

Scott, my husband and I have watched every video you've posted in the last 5 years - and he's probably watched every single video you've EVER posted .. I really think he is your biggest fan !! Know the Sabine wasn't your favorite place but hope you come back down so he can shake your hand !! Thanks for all your videos, they've made our day better so many times .. we're always rooting for ya!!!

[@larryhill3506]

I really have enjoyed watching your videos lately. You’re a genuine nice guy and have one of the most positive outlooks of anyone on tour that I have watched anyway. I really like the way you pick apart a lake in practice also. Anyway not to sound like some fan boy just thought I’d let you know I appreciate the way you present yourself. Keep it up

[@codem0de]

I talk to my dad about you like he talks to me about your dad... Needless to say we love you and your family. Watch all your (and your pops') videos. God bless you and thanks for letting us into your life. You've earned your spot on the Elite tour. Always rootin' for you brotha good luck!

[@Brandon-qy4rs]

His daughter's videos are just as good. Last week Roland Martin was fishing with her. Great video

[@granvillej3316]

You guys are a great angling team I really appreciate your video content thank you for sharing your day with us! Tight lines take care and God bless!

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

I got to say Scott I love watching your videos dude. I'm serious when I see a new video I get so excited because it's what I love to do . So thank you for all the hard work brother. One day I pray to fish a few tournaments. Great video 💯

[@Johnnyadams69]

I’m only 15 minutes into the video and I can tell you have this aura about you it’s gonna be a good week my man!

[@StacyJackson-n5w]

I pray that you have a great tournament. Just remember you got a great fishing partner who is always with you, don’t get discouraged. Love ya man.

[@russellwatters5891]

Just one bite from a great tournament. Anything can and does happen, especially at ya'lls level. Any different color, weight, action, can get the fish to bite. You know it in your head, you feel it in your heart, now put it into action. Go get em Scott! Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@Street-Ryder]

Can't wait for this one, best of luck fellas. 🤙🏼🇺🇲🤙🏼

[@KHeinz_57]

LFG!! Stay focused and grind like you do!!! Can’t wait to watch the vlog. Just started. By the way, my hometown lake is Okeechobee. Doing the Roland tourney now. Next one, 7/20. Just going to keep pre fishing and pre fishing

[@BlakeBlanchard-i5n]

Hey mr scott you used to fish Okeechobee with my dad Dan Blanchard im a big fan i really loved this video keep up the hard work

[@ericpaules1893]

Awesome video, I met Mccoy last year in a Wed night tournament at Lake Marburg In York Pennsylvania, needless to say he won that night, heck of a nice guy. Goodluck with the remaining of your season.

[@Georgiaoutdoors-b4k]

Prayin for ya man. Keep up the good work!!!

[@HowardHalstead]

Good luck on St. Lawrance I know you're glad Hillary is home for summer break enjoyed yall fishing private lake in bama

[@krustysurfer]

Thank you Scott for showing us that it's not always schools and giant fish waiting to be caught, it's good to know others face the same challenge of figuring out what the fish will eat and what they wont. Good video thanks

[@kazimclarke588]

That striper though 😮😮😮😮

[@dgroves85]

Spotted Bass are so fun to catch. On the Central Coast of California we have a lake called Lake Nacimiento aka Naci. The lake levels fluctuate a lot but it’s such a fun lake. Some of the hardest spinnerbait bites that I’ve ever had were on that lake from Spots! It’s incredible how much a smaller than largemouth can hit a bait!

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Ive been on spots on smith its kinda spooky it's so deep like the dang ocean LOL keeping rolling Scott 👊

[@michaelking6519]

Nice vidio ty & The striper was at lest 40 😁

[@blind_eye_fishing]

That's a really nice striper but....they get bigger here in Alabama 😂. That was probably in the 20-25lb class and they get almost twice that at their biggest I've seen. My pb 27lber was a touch bigger than that one. I love targeting those fish on the Tallapoosa River under a local dam.

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Good luck boyz!👊

[@hankjr70]

Might've been a record stripe for Smith. Those are a lot of fun on a regular bait caster. I bet you had a ball with the little spinning rig. Smith fishes almost exactly like lake Tuscaloosa. I would concentrate on spots and cull all day. If you can get 3 or 4 3 pounders in your bag you'll be in the top 10 at minimum.

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

Dealing with all the idiots on seadoos and tons of boat traffic, lake tuscaloosa can be frustrating and dangerous. Always some drunks on the water doing dumb crap there. I love lake tuscaloosa in the fall for sure. Fewer idiots and much less boat traffic. I will go in the middle of the week in the summer, but will not go on the weekend at all. I instead will go to yellow creek/Bankhead if I have a choice . Love that place

[@jasonpotter3383]

It’s funny, like when I used to teach my dad so his phone would do. Hilary has been teach dad some new tricks 🎣 so good he doesn’t even use his baitcasters anymore 😂

[@iangrant9117]

I want someone to love me the way Scott loves that cooler.

[@SethLewis1212]

Win or lose your doing a dam good job good things are coming your way bud

[@dennislong3962]

Great job your the best

[@joshawagillis9966]

You keep me going out and trying new things

[@LoraCaldwell-eh1or]

Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.

[@JR-ho5qm]

🇨🇦. I was thinking of you guys when Florida won. I’m Canadian and it’s been a long time since we had the cup. Dangit! The Oilers were close lol! Florida is a good team congratulations!

[@ranchhandryan1865]

That striper was huuuuge that’s what fishing is all about right there that’s wild how big he was paint him green and win that tournament with one fish 😂

[@dgroves85]

My buddy caught his biggest and only ever striped bass on Smith Lake a few months back.

[@Hawaiinguy243]

Good luck Scott

[@chrisbruce7594]

The heat in the carpet thing... I wished I had considered that before going with dark gray carpet..

[@grouperkng1]

Thats like fishing lake Blue ridge..My sister has lived on the lake for 13 years snd the beet we ever did was 8

[@alanroberts909]

I had 000 steel wool in my truck console a few years back and it was so hot and magnification through windshield started it to turn orange and was about to burn the truck down

[@WiilK71]

My 5 year old granddaughter watches you and your daughters videos and now she wants to fish all the time.. She is Team Martini all the way

[@GSUbassdad]

Dam, y’all start early in that family. 😂

[@mikebrewer3893]

What kind of minnow are you using. Looks great

[@AeonLawson]

I know you're super busy with tournament fishing but some videos of your boat/boat accessories and truck/accessories would be awesome

[@FLORIDABASSMANN]

do you have to fizz those deep bass if you put them in the well?

[@Yourm0ms24_7]

I have watched scott for years and i truely believe he would win the classic with or without live scope but i wish they'd start a series without that. Just old school grinding.

[@squishypush6032]

@39:12 diet of a professional athlete 😂 guess that’s just fishing

[@The_DeeeJ46]

I’m pretty sure that striper was close to the Smith Lake record! The lake record is only 45lbs 3oz so you had to be close to it! That was easily 35-40lbs

[@Mjones8383]

Scott, with all the pressure being put on suspended bass, why is it that the bottom bite is getting worse also? You would think the bottom fish would be biting more because of less pressure

[@HayesR.J.]

I miss watching fishing too and not watching men play video games, but times are changing. You either gotta change with it, or get left behind. Bass fishing knowledge means nothing anymore, and all you need is a nightcrawler and a screen sadly to say. I’m still gonna watch tho hahaha no matter what

[@victorzagorski5599]

I showed my wife your bait falling to the fish. She said “is t that cheating” lol If they banned livescope, Scott would be in the top ten every tournament anyway. The live scope companies must pay people a bunch of money for it to stay in pro fishing.

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

spot-lighting bass is so boring to watch! way less skill to do it too

[@richardsprano4371]

There are spots in Lake Champlain that are 400 450 feet

[@jgrunkle7613]

How fast did stour boat go full throttle

[@Ninoy2059]

Scott, you been missing. It is about time to watch you gain friend.

[@zakkuhn26]

What kind of minnow were you throwing?

[@dylanbridges5900]

Looks like a fluke with a jig head

[@georgeshreadiii8537]

I see your dilemma with not hooking fish but needing to have content for the video. Smash em up north Scott!

[@BryceHamrick-p2u]

Mr.Scott if you see this when you get a chance could you ask Mr.Roland martin if he remembers a man by the name of Bobby freeman

[@carolynratliff6549]

Scot why don’t you make a hook for your minnow with a longer shank,justsayin

[@clewis382]

On Smith lake, if you're not scoping, you're hoping.

[@thegiant573]

What is that thing? a spy-bait without props?

[@chaseiv58]

I think it might be a viable businness oppurtunity to be a chiropractor who specializes in helping fishermen with neck pain from staring down all day.

[@BlakeBlanchard-i5n]

Lol😂

[@Dbars19]

i just cant fish during this time of year. too hot. drains the hell out of me.

[@ipthomasrobinson1749]

Inland Lake is Alabama's deepest lake by 100 feet .

[@dangerousdylan6262]

Inland lake is 145 feet deep at its deepest point.... Lewis-Smith lake is 264 feet deep....

[@davidking4143]

“That can’t be good for you “……..duh!

[@Dbars19]

did i just see you catch a bass in 135+ feet?? thats so strange to me

[@tristen7413]

First

[@user-og7il2wf3w]

😮😅😅

[@edwards4445]

Be some biggins 260 ft deep lol

[@marshalllaw4116]

Gotta wade through 997 two and a half pounders to catch a good one on Smith Lake. Since the blueback herring moved in, it seems like they're averaging a little closer to 3 lbs each. Below, Smith Lake dam lies the Black Warrior River, and that's where the monsters live....

[@cgward3356]

Really like your videos and your dad both of you guys are great, the only thing I don't like is the live scope that everyone uses these days it is like cheating in my opinion you are not giving the fish a chance, I know ol Doug Hannon would be rolling over in his grave about this and the way that things have changed. Again just an opinion. Keep on fishing guy we love it, God Bless

[@mulldrifterz6469]

Live scoping is so boring to watch. Wish they'd ban all that stuff like they did the Alabama rig.

[@sauceboss7571]

Necessary evil for him right now.

[@GSUbassdad]

If you were on the front of that boat scoping, I know you’d feel differently about it. Not close to being boring when they’re biting. Save up lil guy, get yourself one.

[@krustysurfer]

ABSOLUTELY! fish by instinct using wisdom from decades of throwing lures/bait in bodies of water known and unknown! *GET RID OF ALL ELECTRONIC WIZARDRY/SCENTS/ATTRACTANTS AND GIZMO'S! 35lb bags are not realistic for 99% of fisherman (let alone do that 3 days in a row) its absolutely absurd. I know Scott could win contests without shenanigans if everyone was forced to just fish by instinct. Thanks for the video Scott

[@treyhensley5063]

Leave the A-rig along🤣😂

[@dangerousdylan6262]

They should definitely be banned for all tournament fishing that's for sure....

[@gregarmstrong6798]

Video game fishing now…what a joke! Un-F-ing watchable!!

[@hydropro-tech7749]

American fishing company. Made in china!?

[@robertglaman3356]

can you send me free hat turnament shirt

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

I respect Scott, but damn this is boring to watch. It is not bass fishing as far as I am concerned. I understand why you have to do it, but just understand how many fans are not willing to watch or follow BASS anymore. Bring back real bass fishing please!

[@harrisoncordeiro834]

I love this channel and love this family. Sucks you guys are forced to use live scope. Its cheating we all know it. For you its another tool. For the new generation its all they do. I love the traditional bass techniques. Live scope not so much

[@GSUbassdad]

Save up buddy, you’ll love it once you can afford it. 😂😢😢😢

[@buzzwilliams8387]

Was a fan of your dad's, became a fan of you, but I will not ever understand how a pro fisherman of your stature would be sucked in by the money to play a bass video game. I won't watch sonar fishing; I abhor it just as I do spotlighting deer at night. It's the same deal. No talent, no skill, just the financing to buy all the electronic video game screens. Nope, not for me, not ever. You guys are killing the golden goose.

[@GSUbassdad]

You’re so wrong and afraid to pull your head out of the sand.

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

I agree. Its like a cheat code for fishing, except it is mind numbingly boring, and unimpressive.

[@GSUbassdad]

@@hytekrednekbama4400 a guy who calls himself “hytek “ criticizing the use of technology?! Wow 😮

[@thehunt3652]

Lmao NHL is rigged just like nba nfl mlb

[@Southalabamaoutdoors]

I'm sorry but these videos have become nothing but a hour long video of all his sponsors equipment. We understand what / who your sponsor is..we can do away with every single product the entire video.

[@danielmarshall7285]

He has to mention them to get paid . He is at work to get paid

[@DatGuy960]

Dude, longtime follower/subscriber. Ya GOTTA let us know what knot you use for your braid to flouro leader! You may have and I missed it, somehow, but I can't remember seeing you lose one from your knot failing. When I spoke with you at Seminole, where BLat won, you were gonna tell me and my Wife but BLat took the win and things got crazy. Can ya share, please?

[@squishypush6032]

Wait till they start hooking the live scope to the VR headsets 😂 🥽 🤖

[@LukeHuff-h3l]

Good luck Scott
