I answered it ,I hope you don’t pick by age because I am 14 because I would love to fish with a future googan.

@@WestinSmith do we have to pay anything or is it all free?😂

[@sHaLeMoNeY87]

Still a trip to watch this video and see myself blasting by in the first boat when you said “FLYING”. That day I seen you, I was coming out of the Government Ditch. I wish I wouldn’t known it was you, I would’ve tried to help point y’all to some good nearby areas to fish. Thanks for coming and enjoying our lake, we hope you come back this year and catch you a few studs; the lake is starting to produce really good fish for the upcoming 2022 Spring…

[@russelll.8361]

Real cool lake. Frog country!

[@WestinSmith]

No doubt! Honestly I bet the Googan explode toad may be one of the best baits for that spot with its pitter patter

[@russelll.8361]

@@WestinSmith Ya man. Go back and find some crushers.

[@EasyModeFishing]

Huge pickerel!! Possible lake record.

[@WestinSmith]

😂

[@EasyModeFishing]

@@WestinSmith the world record is only 9 pounds. Yours looked 3-4 pounds.

[@RogerWaynee]

Great Lake to fish man, I fish the government ditch all the time, I caught my pb close to it

[@WestinSmith]

That’s awesome! Hit me up on Instagram if you want to get out and fish it while Fall Topwater is hot!!! We want to revisit with the bass boat

[@RogerWaynee]

@@WestinSmith yessir💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mattolivo]

Almost at that 1000 Likes lol I still would like to see another run on Caddo!

[@WestinSmith]

Heck yes!!!

[@BassRaider]

What a cool lake!

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Here is fun story for you, Next spring, I am retiring. We are moving really close to this lake. We will be basically between Lake of the pInes and Caddo Lake. Looking forward to it. Going to be an amazing new chapter in our lives. I found your channel from your Ranger Review, knowing where we are moving, you know why we are looking for a new boat. We have been Kayak Fishing all over our home state for several years now. But knowing we are going to be so close to two awesome lakes, looking for a bass boat as well. Thanks for sharing and keep up the fun videos my friend. Dale

[@tblaine470]

That is “Government Ditch” I’ve lived here by the lake for many years. It’s very beautiful and I’d watch out for the bats, snakes and gators. Great fishing though! Just leave the spoonbills alone. We need them and they are indigenous to the lake.

[@mosierboy3631]

DUDE! Don’t the wake from the boats affect the yaks? Dev has chatter you have crank! Let’s GO! What about them “danger noodles”? (Cottonmouths)...are they still around down there? YES! Ya GOTTA go back with your boat SOON man! (When ya can)...Dadgum I totally DIG that “backcountry” blues! Blues is MY favorite! Pickerel?! Awesome video friend! BABAAM!!

[@WestinSmith]

Thank ya!!!!!! That place is so unique I feel a trip with the Hot tamale is mandatory!!!! These kayaks are pretty dang stable so it wasn’t an issue and made for a fun cruise haha

[@jameshyatt1465]

I’d rather live somewhere closer to the coast so I could get on some reds and flounder, but I do feel really lucky to live less than hour from this place. Amazing fishing and so many cool places to explore in a kayak

[@tana2183]

The bottom is muddy. And there are plenty places it’s deep. Especially on the Louisiana side

[@kelseytcoleman]

Caddo is a beautiful place. I usually fish there 3-4 days a month all year.

[@TheHunterFisher]

Talk about aesthetic 🔥🔥🔥

[@WestinSmith]

Place is nuts!!

[@mattmcintosh3018]

That lake is straight 🔥🔥🔥 a spring time trip would get you some giants!

[@jaredbays9549]

I grew up on Caddo Lake but live in Austin now. My family’s lake house was about 200 yards from the mouth of Govt Ditch. Its the most amazing place in the country, hands down. Hit me up if you need someone to run around with y’all and show you around.

[@WestinSmith]

Hey thanks man!!! That’s sick!!

[@ADDICTED2FISHINGTX]

Awesome video man! That place looks amazing 🤙🏻

[@WestinSmith]

I swear the first boat that past y’all was me, I remember seeing you taking a video/pic when I passed and I was wondering why someone was recording with GoPros and a phone... Now I see... Haha... We always fly out of the ditch into the river.

[@danieltikcuff7541]

I’ve also always wondered what the people in kayaks thought about us running down the river at 60/70 mph 🤦🏼‍♂️😂😂

[@WestinSmith]

I’m all about it haha gotta get the content 🤘🏼🔥 that’s funny

[@danieltikcuff7541]

@@WestinSmith no doubt, come back and fish the lake soon. I went out last week after the freeze and noticed “most” all of the salvania has died off and the water is clearing up a lot. In the next couple of weeks the water temp will be warming back up and it’s going to get good...

If you want to come out to Montana for Smallmouth, hit me up.

Yo Westin if central louisiana isnt too far then I have a few places that are really good fisheries that only allow kayaks and small boats(under 15 horsepower)

@@WestinSmith no good sir thank you!!! Oh man I gotta tell you this my aunt has a house in the town I live in and it’s in a gated community and it has basically a super big pond or you could call it a little lake but you can fish from her back yard and I found out they have a mini boat ramp for small boats and kayaks so I’m gonna eventually put my little 8.5ft sun dolphin I have with a minn kota 50lbs thrust trolling motor with a fish finder but basically I went and fished from her back yard so very limited to where I can cast and fish and lucky they were just stacked right by her back yard I forgot my GoPro it would have been a great first video to post to KZbin because I caught 8 fish almost back to back to back on the klutch in sriracha craw! I was surprised I caught one bass that was almost 3 pounds but then to catch 7 more the same size in the same spot was ridiculous but I was burning and pausing the klutch and they would smack the hell out of it on the pause. Just pure madness I’ve never experienced anything like that before especially 10 minutes from my house in my aunts back yard lol crazy they were all just about the same size also just about 3 pounds. I love the klutch ive caught so many fish with it this year but now I’m done talking lmao keep up the fire content for us
