Thank you friend 🤝 thank you so much for watching 🙌

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Small mouth fishing is on my bucket list of things I need to go.

[@reelfeelfishing]

💯💯💯

[@reelfeelfishing]

Definitely recommend it if you get a chance. They are fascinating and just fun to catch. So aggressive. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@huongtoituonglai24]

This is so cool and very amazing 🤭🤭

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you. 🤝 thank you for watching !

[@FitnessOutdoors]

Cool video. Can’t wait until it’s warm again so we can crush the Bass 😊. Love that little river. Thanks for sharing 💥🎣

[@reelfeelfishing]

Totally agree! Only another month or so! Can't wait. I love this stretch on the river. It's a lot of fun. Bass here we come 💪 thank you for watching 👊

[@Lowballinoutdoorz]

Love the topwater stuff

[@reelfeelfishing]

It is so fun. Can't go wrong with it. Thank you for watching!

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

Color change👍. What a beautiful smallmouth at 3 min. That’s cool with the yellow on the black loon plopper. Gotta love the strike after the lure lands. All those smallies were beast💪🏻. Nice mix of lm and sm. 7:15 gorgeous smallie. Yo! 🤣. Cleaning up with the sleeper on the way back. Nice lm to finish up. Great stuff Jared!!!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Chris! Yeah it's one of those colors that get overlooked sometimes. I use it over loon most of the time. It was some aggressive strikes that day. They really wanted topwater. Thank you for watching brother!

[@MP_Fishing_]

Man I might need to get me some ploppers and try gettin some smallies on my river! Great work!🤘🏻

[@reelfeelfishing]

I totally recommend the WP 75 or 90 in perch or loon. They just call up the fish. Thank you for watching bro 🙌

[@MP_Fishing_]

@@reelfeelfishing awesome I will have to get each of those! Been tryin to figure out an easier way for river topwater and I think something like the plopper where I can just crank it will be the best💯

[@jojonganteng9317]

Cool keep working and succes

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you ! Thank you for watching 🤝

Solid outing man 😎🎣💪🤘

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks brother! This is the stretch I want to take you. Thanks for watching and all the support 🙌

[@jakewelsh6500]

Maybe let’s get out and wade soon gonna be super hot 🥵 this weekend but soon

[@reelfeelfishing]

@@jakewelsh6500 definitely 💯

[@CrankingYanking]

That creek is packed, couple nice chunks - great video

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks! Yeah I love this place. Lots of good stretches. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@mxaexm]

Sweet video. I like that you are detailed about the rod/reel/lure that you are using. Not asking you about your honey hole but what Would be good area (bank access etc) to fish Dupage River ?

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. It's tough to answer your question cause a lot of it is pressured from the bank. But if I'd have to say it could be Hammel woods area. Or McDowell I think is another one. Downtown Naperville has a lot of access but it's always busy on the Riverwalk. Best bet is to go during the week. Weekends can be rough sometimes with people. But it's all good stuff. There's some days I just bridge hop. All bridge areas can be good to cast a few times under. Hope this helps a little. Thank you for watching!

Love the top water 👍👍

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Justin! Same here. Can't put it down for the rest of the year hahaha. Thanks for watching bro!

[@OntheRealFishing]

As soon as it hit the water! Almost 2 in the exact same spot! Love the top water Vids.

[@reelfeelfishing]

Yeah it's amazing how aggressive they can get. Love it. Thanks for watching 🙌

[@TheCombatFishinVet]

Yes sir!! That WP strikes again!! Good day out on that water brother!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Jesse ! Just can't go wrong with it hahaha. Thank you for watching brother 🙌

[@SoFlo_Outdoors]

Awesome video man. Some great catches

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you so much! Thank you for watching 🙌

[@AddictedAngler]

you should try the rat there , they love it . great catches

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you! I got a couple of the Savage Gear ones. I'll give those a try next time. They work great in ponds and lakes. Thanks for watching

[@bigjfishing8737]

Got to love those topwater hits.. Enjoyed the video, definitely was a good day for you brother! 💯🔥🔥🔥🙌 Tight lines bro 🤙

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Josh! And yeah it took forever to get topwater going this year. 🙄 can't get enough of it though. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@BigBaitPosse]

topwater smallie action is always awesome. It's a rarity in my area..

[@reelfeelfishing]

It really is fun times. Love seeing the blowups. Thank you for watching!

[@toddwittke3173]

Nice feeeeeeesh! Love the duper

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Todd! It sure is a great river. Some areas are really pressured but once you get in and get away usually it's on fire. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@JustBeingJared]

A fellow Jared that fishes the same river as me 😅

[@reelfeelfishing]

Oh thats awesome! Spelled the same way too!? That's cool! Thank you for watching 👊

[@JustBeingJared]

@@reelfeelfishing Of course! It's the CORRECT way to spell it lol

[@reelfeelfishing]

@@JustBeingJared hahaha so true. I've seen some strange ways to spell our name in my day lol

[@bdfishing861]

You know the place! The first couple of casts were dead on, that reaction bites were just sweet!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Have you fished here before? It's a great river system. And yeah they were aggressive that day. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@bdfishing861]

@@reelfeelfishing I've been fishing in Indian since I'm doing school here but yeah I'd love to have a fishing trip in the future 😀

[@michiganfishing8094]

Its amazing how white to black makes such a big deal. Man they wanted that whopper plopper. LMB's and SMB's in one vid too.

[@reelfeelfishing]

Yeah its awesome what a color switch can do. Super aggressive that day. I love when I get some nice smallies but a mix bag is sweet. Thank you for watching!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

It is always fascinating how changing the color can change the day into epic. I need to get some smaller WPs for some river fishing.

[@reelfeelfishing]

It is pretty wild when you think about it. Fish are definitely smart and know what they want. Lucky I always bring a white bottom and a black bottom. And yeah I'm a 60,75,90 type of guy. Lots of people throw the 110 and it's just too big in my opinion. For what I do at least. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@LarrysFishing]

Terrific session!!! Love the colors on most of those SM, very dark and cool looking. Great job!!!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you Larry ! Yeah some of them had some beautiful colors. I love it when they are like that. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@jorygoesfishing96]

2nd time through! Man you crushed them in this river! Awesome job Jared

[@reelfeelfishing]

Hahaha thanks bro! I appreciate you watching 🙌

[@jebuscruz6480]

What a cool spot bro. love the top water hits. Great catches, Fish on bro 👊🏼

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks bro! I love topwater action. From here to November 1st I'll always have something tied on topwater lol. Thank you for watching!

[@F.A.R.T]

man, you get some of the nicest smallies on YT! great fishing there Jared. (good call on the black popper)

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you Tom! That means a lot. And yeah the switch paid off big time. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@jacobwhite281]

Niiiice J. Still here in Illinois staying at an extended stay in Schaumburg until the house in Wisconsin is ready on the 29th. Went to a little industrial pond yesterday and had a HUUUUGE blow up that I missed on the WP. So sad. LOL

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Jake ! And that's a bummer about the miss on the WP. Maybe we fish early next week before you leave? I'll message you on fishbrain. Thanks for watching too !

[@jayestremera92]

Bro! You had a field day out there! Between the Plopper and Sleepy Boy zzz. LOL Man we really need to link up soon and have some fun! Dude I love how much more comfortable you are getting talking to the camera. You are evolving and I am proud of you brotha!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Jay! Yeah those baits are just deadly out by me. And yes we do. You can always come out to Illinois! And thanks I feel like I am just forgetting that a camera is rolling sometimes. Which is a good thing. I just gotta remember "be you" thanks for watching bro ! 🤝

[@HenriVineFishing]

Hey Jared. Man those smallmouth Bass were gorgeous!! You were on fire with the WP. Great creek fishing video buddy!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you so much bro! I love the WP and that stretch of the river. It was a fun wade that day. Thank you for watching

[@andygetz7343]

Where on the Duper are you fishing? I usually hit Knoch Knolls or Shorewood.

[@reelfeelfishing]

I fish it from Minooka all the way to West Chicago. It's all really good fishing. Parts near West Chicago can be solid when there hasn't been rain for a week or longer. Naperville area downtown or even Knock Knolls is solid. Shorewood and the farther south the better in my opinion. The fish just get bigger down south. Thank you for watching Andy!

[@Bowhunt]

Nice video bud. You can never go wrong with the DuPage or Des Plaines River for smallies.

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks bro! And totally agree. I really like the des plaines near the lemont area. But the DuPage is solid everywhere for me. Thank you for watching!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

Such beautiful smallies in that river man! Top water smallie action is always 🔥🔥🔥. Solid trip Jared! Nice mixed bag.

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Luke ! Yeah this river has some beauties. This was about a month ago but this was seriously my first great topwater session of the year. Took forever to get going. Thanks for watching 🙌

[@DodoBird157]

You should try a ned rig there. Tons of crayfish in the DuPage!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Totally agree! I use it sometimes. Mainly early spring and late fall. I really like the megabass sleeper craw on the dupage. It's an awesome river. Thank you for watching 👊

[@RobBassMaster]

Jared, what a great creek fishing adventure for smallies! I love using the WP but haven’t ever tried the black one. I have one and will have to check it out. I usually use the perch, bluegill or T1000 as my go to WP. Have a great weekend and enjoy, Rob

[@reelfeelfishing]

Those are good colors too! Can't go wrong with a whopper plopper ! Thank you for watching and have a great weekend !

[@discoverangling4892]

Dude hell yea I miss the dupe so bad. I used to live in IL and learned about Smallie fishing in the area you’re in. Watching your video makes me think I should have waded more lol.

[@reelfeelfishing]

It's an awesome river. Some sections are great for wading but then boom an 8 foot hole comes out of nowhere lol. I still think most sections of the river wading is the better option over kayak fishing. Just cause you can really work stuff and slow it down. Thank you for exploring my videos and stopping by. It means a lot 👊

[@bobrich1950]

What time of year did you record this ?? Given the amount of greenery, -mid summer ? Thanks.

[@reelfeelfishing]

I actually don't remember but it was definitely from June to September A few years ago. That river is real good all year though. Just have to find where they are at each month cause they move a lot. Thank you for watching!

[@DadLifeFishingAdventures]

Great job getting the smallmouth. I do think the dark color looks that would normally be swimming across the water. . 👍👍💯🎣

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Mike! Yeah I go back and forth between the two. We have some perch in our waters so perch or rat are good colors by me. But then that loon or yellow head is just deadly. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@jorygoesfishing96]

Awesome creek video dude! Crushed them with that whopper plopper! Way to backtrack and get em’ with the dark sleeper as well man! Those creek fish seem so aggressive!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks bro ! Yeah it's pretty wild how aggressive they can get. I know food is plentiful there too. WP and sleeper is my go to in the rivers and creeks and of course neddy. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@AnglingSpiders]

Man it is awesome that you got those blow-ups on camera. Some fantastic catches

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you! Yeah I love the topwater hits. So fun to watch. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Epic outing, Jared! Switching to black definitely paid off. Awesome Smallies and a few good Largemouth in the mix. Love how you went back with the dark sleeper on the way back. If topwater is on, I do the same thing on the way back (although usually I’m tossing a worm or creature, but I’ll definitely be trying the dark sleeper after this video) Well done, man!

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks man ! Yeah when I think those smallies are picky I'm always changing it up. But that Loon or yellow head is money when it's real sunny out. I love the sleeper. Smallies just love that presentation for some reason. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@JumbleTronChannel]

Man that's a lot of nice bass 😲

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thank you! It's a solid little stretch. Love wading rivers. Thank you for watching 🙌

[@live2fishofficial]

Nice work getting them the color they wanted. That first one probably got that dropped right on his noggin lol! Love the colors on those smallies, beautiful! Great job out there man!👊💥🎣 What are you using for your wading gear?

[@reelfeelfishing]

Thanks Joe! Yeah you gotta switch it up with those fish. It's crazy what a color change can do. I'm just using some cabelas waders. The neoprene ones with attached boots. Everyone says I should have a net and I did that once but the net kept getting caught on stuff and was more of a bother than anything. So I just hope no hooks in the hand hahaha. Thank you for watching 🙌
