Your the one that turned me on to the whooper plooper years ago, caught my PB on one 21 1/2" smallie. Thanks

[@erichgross7644]

Always appreciate the AUDIO in your videos, really sets them apart from the rest. Thank you!

[@CurtsPedalSteelVideos]

Agreed!

7:44 What perfectly healthy fish, not even one rip in its tail, just look at how perfect that tail is.

[@jericarroll5923]

Actually 8:01 is the perfect time. Yes that the prettiest smallie I've ever seen...

With your calm demeanor, your like the Bob Ross of fishing. Instead of happy trees it’s happy bass.

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

You have amazing fisheries around you!! Beautiful good size fish. Anyplace that will produce that many quality small mouth in a day’s worth of fishing is a great place to fish. Thank you for taking us along with you!! Keep up the good work.

[@shawn.k1]

Watching your videos is making me want to get a kayak! Thanks again for taking me fishing with you!

[@IGrocker]

It’s worth it! I’ve been kayak fishing the last two years and it’s been a blast.

[@carolu9062]

I'm glad I got one. Makes you feel free to go where the fish are not just where you boat and motor can go as well.

[@ronaldkulas5748]

IMO, this is the best time to fish Smallies. This video sure brings back some good memories. Walleye fishing in rivers at this time gets crazy good too.

[@logangreen4381]

I'm so jealous of your fishing spots man... seriously seems like perfect places to go. Every single time.

[@northernbassalliance1442]

It literally is. I fish this river alot and the smallmouth act like they have never seen a bait which they really havent seen many.

[@DV87777]

Nothing better imo. Than a top water plop bite. Love it

[@samspade4634]

Around the 5:30 or so Smallmouth - he didn't even let the lure get wet before he hit it. That was neat!

[@willfox2578]

I think it is safe to say that we don’t watch to see you try a bunch of different lures and techniques. We watch because or the joy you bring to fishing, the relaxing way you talk about the trip to us…to me it is a reminder of why I need to fish more often and enjoy the adventure. Keep doing what you do, fishing how and what you want to fish, and we will keep joining you for the trip.

Sooooo drunk

[@adaml9494]

Just make sure you are using beer and not bourbon! Great video. Also could use smallie as a drinking word.

[@robkiltie6481]

I appreciate how you set the fish back into the water vs chucking it 10 feet in the air like 90% of the other channels.

[@TwinklesTheChinchilla]

Beauty, fight, flavor. The smallie is a national natural treasure. If only I had the time to fish these days. Thanks for the uploads: you enrich the lives of us that crave the wilds, but can't get there.

All those fish were gorgeous, one of those at 6-7lbs would be a beautiful replica mount. Awesome video

Now there's fishing season and then there's top water season. Love it as always good sir.

[@ndyakangler]

Yeah if they’re hitting the Plopper it’s about as fun as fishing gets and it’s tough to switch over to anything else! It’s what I’d have tied on the majority of the time if I didn’t want to switch it up to keep the videos interesting.

[@donaldmclemore7323]

Smallies didn't stand a chance, you was on fire. Awesome video once again.

Hey. I got out to mille lacs sat. Three hours of casting and caught one fish. But oh boy what a fish. 21 inch. Soo nice. When it hit I thought I snagged a rock until it ran.
