WON Bass California Open: Clear Lake (Part TWO) BIGGEST BAG OF DAY TWO! Giant Bass!

[@CALIBASSKIDTV]

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!

[@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!

[@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....!!!!

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

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I love that Jighead. It’s money.

[@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!

[@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💯

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words

[@chriscabral4342]

I have a kayak tournament up there in a couple of weeks your tips and tricks should help. Try a jig for a weight on your drop shot...weird but works

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Oh I bet! I’ve seen that work a few other places too.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

Choppy, welcome to the page! I appreciate you watching and I’m glad you enjoy my thinking. Good luck with your fishing and I’m only slightly jealous of where you live! Lol

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!

That "Clear Lake Rig" you found is for catfishing. It is better known as a Santee Rig. Really enjoy your content, I have picked uo a lot of little things that have made some big differences, thank you

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks for watching my channel and for the input!

[@db9818]

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.

[@NorCalFishermen]

14:43 thats a catfish drifting rig! guys catch huge 20+ cats drifting demon dragons ive been wanting to give it a try looks like tons of fun!

[@Ballin21]

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!

[@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.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

For sure. I learned that. Still looks silly though lol

[@OhKee12]

Dang... making the co-angler strap down the rods. #ProGuys. Lol. I heard ya tell him not to worry about it. Nice to see you fishing like an Okie (OhKee). Look forward to part 3.

Heck yea!

[@eddiehall7954]

i think that rig you were talking about is actually a santee rig. Used to catch catfish

[@xxduneriderxxable]

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!

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Great video! Maybe we just haven’t seen it yet, but would be cool to see you meet up with the TacticalBassin guys.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

I really wanted to do something with them when I went out there, but I didn’t have any way of contacting them!

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Andrew Upshaw Fishing Tim has actually responded to me on KZbin and instagram before. I’m a nobody lol. I’m sure they would take you out throwing foot long glide baits in a heartbeat!

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

I’ll also echo the other comments. You are a great guy to your co angler. I could tell you were legitimately excited for him. Would be a fun event to have pros co angler with each other.

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Heck yea! I really enjoy fishing with new people and they get so excited. Had plenty of co’s win out of the back of my boat. Such a great thing!

[@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.

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!

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

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. 🇺🇸🎣🤙🏽

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!

[@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.

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

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