I want to see more California tournaments. I’m a huge fan.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I want to fish more of them too! Lol

[@TS1023TS]

That’s awesome to see you genuinely happy for your co-angler catching a giant. You treat them well. Great to see. Nice work man.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks buddy!

[@916wilton]

Enjoy the voiceover on the video. Your co-angler did excellent with the net, his net techniques looked perfect. It sure makes a better day when you have someone who is good with a net.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

No doubt about that. He was a fun guy to fish with

[@amkoutdoors]

You seem like the most down to earth guy in fishing some guys would get pissed if there co casted anywhere but behind the motor you are an inspiration

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks a lot Adam! I just love fishing!

[@Unknownuser_1954]

That swinging rugby head has become my new summer offshore favorite!!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I love that Jighead. It’s money.

[@kendalllunsford775]

Really fun to watch Andrew............. and love your commentary integrated into the video......... Lots of great information......... and its the little things that can make all the difference............ Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work....!!!!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Kendall and thank you for the feedback.

[@troyhaynie9632]

Awesome fishing, people like you make me want to keep fishing and keep learning

[@alwayz_be_cullin]

These are the areas we need to be on come tourney day bro. I saw a few locations I am familiar with. You going out for any of the YAB or KBF events bro?

[@troyhaynie9632]

Anthony Kernan-Penaloza I’m going to try

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

That’s the goal💯

[@Mr1BIGGEE]

Love the videos I appreciate the fact that you are down to earth and real about what you are doing. Glad to see you were able to fish Clear Lake. What a great fishery. Looking forward to the next video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Clear Lake is a special place, hope I can go back! I try to be myself all the time. Sometimes gets me in trouble, but what you see is what you get!

[@DubH46]

I've been waiting to see this one! Get that monster!! Great job!! And talking over the video is great. You can give more info than when its "in the moment". The tips you give are awesome and you probably wouldn't have broke it down for us if the sound was on.

[@thomasmartin8202]

Agreed. I got a lot more out of it as presented with commentary than regular sound.

[@user-ds8it7nf8j]

Man that's one neck of a bag and pretty cool for you Co-Angler to catch that big fish! Appreciate the tips on what to think about when fishing around other and watching them catch. Look forward to the final day video

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Michael! It was a fun day

[@user-ds8it7nf8j]

Andrew Upshaw Fishing I bet and cool for your buddy to let your know what the deal was and figuring out a different technique to catch them!

[@cassiemcsorley]

Great video...keep the audio over narrative in more of your videos. So much more information...awesome.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Cassie!

[@thomasmartin8202]

Agreed. Narrating is way better for context and information sharing.

[@jacobroberts4241]

I learn so much from u every video its surreal in all the years of fishing i still learn something new watching you, im in virginia our lakes arent like any other in the country but alot of stuff you use works here very well, we have zero grass anywhere just rocks and a worm is definitely king here and u gotta be weedless we have nothing but hard bottom and trees to get hung on so half the stuff people use everywhere else wont work here

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching man and I learn from everyone. Dad told me a long time ago that the day I felt like I knew everything, that I should go do something different.

[@lupefernandez6332]

Thanks for talking about the aaa relationship & your expectations. It helps. Hanging the Ned while retiring has got me a limit a few times when things were tough.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

The Ned is killer, regardless where you go!

[@jerryvalentour164]

Great job of commentary better than if was a live show telling how you feel and what you are doing. You work is well with your co angler. The co weight is great also. Waiting for more!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Jerry! I want everyone to catch fish, even my co’s!

[@lmramos44]

Clear Lake is amazing. Consistently bigger bags then anywhere else. I am not a pro by any means but have had many 20lb bags there. I also caught my PB there many years ago. Learned a lot just from this one video. Have you ever tried fishing in one of our big trout planted impoundments for Big Bass?? Now that is what i would like to see guys with your knowledge fish. Tight Lines and Good Luck from Cali.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I actually haven’t. They typically don’t stock trout around here too often. I wish I had though!

[@chrispeterson1131]

Andrew I think the voice over, great way to go, and easy to learn. thanks for great videos

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Chris!

[@scottclark1168]

Petty cool you get to work as a team,I like that,that was a Hella good bag,nice job,can't wait for day 3

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Scott! Yea, that format is legit!

[@alwayz_be_cullin]

Dude this was so awesome. I’ve been SUB’d for about 3/4 weeks now, and going back and watching your content has been eye opening! Really only been fishing for about 1.5 years now, and I really enjoyed this one though; as it’s one of my home lakes here in Northern California. I am part of a few local kayak angling clubs, and let me tell you a lot of guys are going to be watching this video in preparation. Soo funny you ran into Ob. He’s actually one of the guys that participates in the kayak series too. Small world for sure, and yes he is hilarious! Had me cracking up last year at Clearlake during our awards ceremony. Anyways brother. Thank you again for everything you do... KZbin influencers like yourself and a few others are what keeps me motivated to go out and get my next PB. Be well, tight lines man. 🇺🇸🎣🤙🏽

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Dude, you can do it! PB’s are meant to be broken and you’re in the area to do it! Ob was fun to be around and we had a good laugh or too. Good luck in your upcoming events and let me know how you do!

[@harryestep2488]

Great video and voice over commentary! Keep up the good work!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Harry!

that was some sick footage!!!!! The three rock piles in the beginning hold some begins and huge cats all year.Good stuff.

Great video and great voice over. Hope you enjoyed Clear Lake and what the West Coast has to offer. Hope your Buddy Bradley is doing ok. My Dad has Covid, and its no joke; hospitalized for two weeks with a major surgery.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Dude I’m sorry to hear that. It’s definitely not a joke, have about 6 or so family members with it as well. Give him my best. And yes, Clear Lake is amazing and I def will be back!

[@fishnchips8618]

Great video. One of the best educational videos IMO. Would love to see more of this on KZbin! Love watching fishing, but I often want to hear the decision process on what led you to do what you do. Thanks

[@tulsabassprofessor5009]

Love how you adapted and did what worked for you to catch them 👊🏾

Congrats from the UK.....Really enjoyed that episode and sharing it with your co-angler spot on. I am a Fox, Salmo and now Lew's (shortly add Strike King) angler over here. I also guide from my boat the Talisman.....If we ever get fully out of this mess called Covid then I see a trip across the pond coming...two weeks of Largemouth fishing has to be on the cards....Tight Lines!

Right? 😂 #almostpro

[@sonnygreen9698]

Dang dude I got excited just watching your day unfold, can’t imagine what it was like on the boat !! Sorry but that super glue incident made me laugh way to much, with a bag like that though you might want to think about doing that at all of your events 😂😂😂😂

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Man, it was just a crazy day. I’ve never glued my mouth shut before, but might have to do it more often if it yields 26 pounds! 😂🤷‍♂️

[@masfishing1]

Awesome video Andrew. I enjoyed watching it. It turned out good even tho u lost audio. I think u narrating the video vs live audio gives u a chance to not be distracted and u gave us viewers a lot of good tips. Hell, i dont even own a boat and I learn from your tips, just think if i had a boat. Lol. Im glad u got to experience Clear Lake. I look forward to seeing day 3 video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching Mike. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it seems like guys liked it for the most part!

[@georgefedor5375]

Man I drove by those rockpiles in my prefish and they were covered in boats. Could not even get close. I had a good boat number on Day 1 and could of tried for them but I never got a chance to prefish it. I ended up in the other crowd down in Rattlesnake. Good first day but sild on the last two. Thanks for sharing and great video.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I feel that completely! I waited and fished rattlesnake late in the day each day and it paid off pretty well. Mainly when all the other boats had left. That place fishes small!

[@FisForFishing777]

Sad a couldn't make it this year gas prices kept me home. Great tournament

[@devincampbell4328]

that was super bad ass hopefully one day i can be a pro bass fisherman

Awesome to see you out here in cali! I always leave a rod out when re tying but had a $500 set up FLY OUT of the boat one time like it freight trained my bait and never stopped. Now I'm super hesitant on doing it lol.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I’ve had them fly out a few times, but typically I will put a foot on it or brace it somehow. It was a fun time and everyone was super nice. Can’t wait to get back!

Rayburn is tough right now from what I’m hearing. Thanks for watching and good luck this weekend!

Awesome video man! That's one of my bucket list lake's! There's a lot people can learn from this and also learn for team tournament..if I ever found myself co-angling I would hope to have a partner like you! I think that rig you snagged was a catfish rig maybe a Santee rig, what a great bag today!

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s worth the trip, trust me! That means a lot man. And no, it’s the Clear Lake rig now😂 kidding

[@HABUyaknbass]

That spook rig is used by catfish guys on CL. You’re also right I’ve had best bags around big cats, had a great day around a school of large bass 4-8lb and large cats 16-20lb off Buckingham. Caught over 25 bass not one was under 3.75 and 3 cats over 17.

[@badbass25]

That "Clear Lake Rig" that you hooked is for catfish. Not a catfish guy, but I learned that from one of my Catfish Tournament buddies.

[@roycullum2722]

So much of my life was spent there. From the 60's to 1984. The fishing was so great. In the early 80's the water was so polluted. I'm glad to hear they are clean it up. If you want to catch big cats. Me and my dad made stink bait. Take clams and clean them. Put the meat in a Mason jar. About 3lbs. No water add about half a jar of garlic juice, and icecream salt fill it up . Let set for at least 2 weeks.. The clams will not rot with the rock salt. It just stinks so bad. Me and my DAD fished with 2 and 3 year old clams. This is the JOKE... IF YOU US THIS ? CATCH ON FOR ME AND MY DAD.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

It’s in good shape now for sure. Thanks for watching!

Hi Andrew mind sharing the color Ocho that was working for you there

New video dropping today about which ones exactly I was using. The first day was a purple, day two and three were green pumpkin.

[@andrewvolcom11]

Is this a combined weight tournament? I'm confused when u said that this even was kinda different in a sense that ur Co angler is like a teammate or something. Or is the usual 5 limit individual weight?

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

The Won Bass series is a shared weight event, but you switch partners everyday. So each boat gets to keep their best 5

If we are all fishing the Elites, then it would have to stop because we wouldn’t be allowed to do it. And agreed, community holes are community holes for a reason!

The rig you snagged is used by cat fishermen. The spook like bait does what you said floats the bait up of the bottom.
