Bank fishing, mostly. And mostly for bass.
Blade Bait not just for Winter!
I dislike spinning gear. It's nice to be able to once again toss the tiny baits. This is a 21 SLX BFS on an Okuma 7' medium inshore

Catch and Release mentality is stupid
มุมมอง 2.1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm talking unmanaged small waters in the Southeast, and the "100% always release" mentality. I weigh and measure EVERY BASS. I have 3 years of data on these locations. I fish every day. 365, just like the Standard Weight Chart was designed for. This is not a "hot topic" for me. It's an old one. My limited audience is bank fishers in the South (man-made fish bowls where nature can't "do its thi...

Healing Springs, Lake Huntley, Lake Rabon, and Lake Woodcross bass fishing
2lb 12 oz is small for a largemouth at 19". From my 38 years id say a she'd need to be around 4 and a half pounds to look healthy
Nice video. I stay 10 minutes away from there. Ill check it out
You barely could've reeled that one in. It would behoove you to have a garage sale and sell your gear.
Small fisheries need to be managed by keeping fish to prevent the stunting of growth.
Is bro stupid?
I have to catch and release, because I can't eat fish
If your fish, weighed and measured, are under 90% of Relative Weight consistently, and you KNOW there are no competing species, then your Competing Species is other 1lbers. The humane thing to do is throw it into the woods, don't release it
Howdy, fisheries biologist here. Catch and release is not stupid, this is a very blanketed statement. It really depends, obviously fish have served as a main food source for people for millennia and it is a critical source of protein for many people around the world. Additionally, for bass the western US they are entirely non-native so conserving them really shouldn’t be a priority. BUT, for many fish species the human pressure of harvest is so much greater than it ever has been historically so it’s unrealistic to say “catch and release is a bad mentality” is incredibly incorrect. And as far as the weight thing is concerned, basically all wild animals are opportunistic feeders and their weight will fluctuate VASTLY. A friend of mine published a paper in the journal Nature (author John Armstrong) that found that fish consume most of their annual caloric intake over about 10% of the year. So fish will be skinny sometimes and heavier at others. I’d recommend reading some fisheries literature before making blanketed statements like this 👍🏼
Consistently under 70% of Standard Weight, with no competing species present, documented, and as stated and shown this is in the South in a man made fish bowl. Yes, the 100% catch and release mentality is wrong. Thank you for your input. My normal small viewership of hoa/ muni bank fishing has seen the years of data I have shown. Of course I am not talking all regions and all water types.
lack of enough food
... and in the South, in Small Waters, the lack of food is usually because there are too many 1lb bass.
You're like me, bucking a trend. I don't wear a bike helmet and have data to prove it's more dangerous. People see you have a helmet on and pass you much closer. Dangerous. You do you Philip! 👍
You're correct about drivers seeing a helmet or not seeing one. I saw 3 motorcycles in a traffic jam on I-26 yesterday, and the one without helmet is the one I focused on. Timely comment from you. Kinda odd, actually.
You're looking "spawned out" fish, in an overpopulated pond. You may be right, in THIS setting. Catch and release is a public water thing. I'm sure you don't fish there because, "there ain't no fish, in them lakes". 🤦♂️😂
Thank you for commenting. I edited description. I fish every day, all mostly public waters. The spawn here was at least a month ago, maybe two. There really is no such thing as 'spawned out" when you are referring to the Standard Weight Chart. Relative Weight is 365, all regions, all seasons
That fish doesn't have to be 4lbs and harvesting wouldn't correct the problem. That bass likely has more competition due to invasive species or maybe even a faster metabolic rate, which in hindsight means that it'll just be naturally skinnier. I don't understand how you think harvesting bass will solve this issue. Maybe if you harvest the invasive species like carp and striper, you will grow the population numbers of the native species in your state. I suggest doing some research before making a shit claim and posting it on the internet. What a dumbass
Why would anyone call another person stupid, who catches and releases, or keeps and eats? Now I know of some ponds and lakes that could use a few taken out, but this take of yours....Wow. Not every pond or lake is so abundant that you should keep every legal fish. States have stocking programs for a reason. There is a state park 2 miles from me that has about 30 ponds and lakes. At least 20 of them have been so overfished, you would be lucky to catch one fishing it all day. I think some have been completely fished out.
Thank you for commenting. I have edited the description of video.
that tiny pond would be empty if everyone kept the fish
This tiny pond needs to be drained completely and restocked. Thank you for commenting. I have edited the description.
Then don't fish it for a couple years it's not rockets science idk why c/r wanna screw with the native species just go help remove all the garbage carp if you don't like to eat fish
They really just need to put a strict max size on bass. They're not good over like 2lbs anyways, the bigger ones aren't for eating, but theyre so abundant the small ones eat up forage. Where im at, your daily limit is 1 any size, 4 any size under 16. Which, i actually really like. The 1 over 16 is really only *supposed* to be used to get mounts anyways.
Thank you for commenting. I have edited the description for clarity.
Poachers are stupid...
How's he a poacher?! I help manage a 4 acre pond here in texas and everything he said is true.👍 😅 If stock tank bass have a little body and a big head that means that they're over populated. You just have to know when to catch and keep and when to release. I swear bass fishing yuppies have officially turned the sport into a weekend boyscout jamboree 😅
@@ColtonRobinson-ej4xr Skinny bodies doesn't automatically correlate to overpopulation. This is one lake out of thousands and it could be to many different problems such as malnutrition that is being caused by INVASIVE species in that lake which could be overpopulating. You can't compare this lake in the video to your PRIVATE pond in Texas because you can easily get rid of the invasive species in that private pond. Also, if the bass in your pond are overpopulating, maybe add in a control species and more primary and secondary energy sources
@ryderupshaw2809 If the bodies of the fish you're catching have really skinny bodies and really big mouths, then they're in an overpopulated ecosystem. It's just a common fact when it comes to black bass. If you have a healthy population, it never hurts to keep a five fish limit. If anything, it helps.
Thank you for commenting. I have edited description
Here in Kansas we have virtually no bass over 3lb due to over harvesting of public lakes 😢
My region and location in video I thought were obvious. I have edited the descriptions. Thank you for commenting.
"Catch and Release is stupid, I'll just ignore the hundreds of millions of dollars in studies and insert my own opinions..." Like yea, lake get stunted sure, but calling catch and release stupid is as ignorant of a take as it gets man...
Thank you for commenting. I have edited the description. I incorrectly assumed my normal small audience already had seen the hundreds of Instagram reels and yt posts about unmanaged small waters in the South
Soooo, did you eat him? Or...
No, I released HER. Not a him. This bass should have been over 4lb, making it probably a female here
Yes so the idea is,when there is not enough food the bass will start to starve to dead until there is enough food aswell as room for other fish. Nature will take care of that. Its human intervention that has caused the problem in the first place and its human intervention keeping the problems alive!
ok then u make a difference then instead of commenting on a yt post
Thank you for commenting. Nature cannot take its course in an unmanaged fish bowl.
@@pcheek68 Nature is the one and only manager! It has its own agenda and when its not in line with ours we think it needs our help lol.
Hey man, I just moved to the Lexington area, where is this spot at if you don’t mind sharing?
Dude, nice catch
When is the next one?
June 15
Is this public? Im new to the area looking for places to fish
It's HOA-type, but the Harbison Community Association won't stop you from fishing there.
Where?
Lake Woodcross, Harbison -Columbia
👍
I think roughing is the more appropriate call here, Philip. 😅
The speed craw is a great lure, sometimes it gets bites as a smaller profile craw when slightly bigger lures like the Krackin Craw don’t. I have caught big ones on it too, caught a near 4 pound smallmouth out of the river this year
👏👏👏
Wow
Thats an awesome fish! Love the title!!
Just round it up, its a freaking 7 lb hahaha
Yes. But I document every catch. Every %. When you are measuring the health of a fishery, numbers aren't estimated or rounded up. In casual conversation, yes, we say he caught a 7. But because of the exact measurements, we know it's NOT the same 7 I caught five days ago.
Awesome fish! Way to go!
I'm intrigued by your setup here. Never seen someone fish a regular sized Texas rigged worm on a swimbait rod. With 14 lb. mono no less.
Magnum Trick Worm. I was trying to get as far out as possible, where we've found the big fish hold. Almost impossible to hit it with regular setup. That was no small sinker either. And I've found mono casts pretty far. As far as the rod- I knew I'd have to swing it pretty hard if I got bit. That 795 is actually a pretty good jig/ bigger hook rod. That was 5/0 offset
@@pcheek68 Makes perfect sense thank you.
got 4 @ harbison after work, meet Donavan, or Donta? biggest was 2 1/4 on the brush pile next to the bridge
Nice talking to you today.
Fishing time y'all fishing time!!!
Cha-ching!
OMG fix that middle treble hook, they sell replacement ones at PSA lol
Cool video bud. Looks like a very fishy place to fish. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the awesome work
No grass all over the bottom here like Woodcross?
Archer has nasty grass, too - just not as bad
Long casts def DO work! Fun video. Great catches!
💔
It was big, whatever it was.
Killing em! Thats a sweet color 🔥🎣
Partido muy apretado cada balón todos precionados
Where’s this pond
I stay in this hotel for work a lot. May bring my fishing rod down, especially if there's crappie in there.
Hit me up on Instagram; when you're there you can borrow any bass stuff you need. The crappie hit topwater walking baits at night there. And bomb-casting a white rooster tail works during the day
@Philip Cheek Fishing Thank you! Heading there tomorrow for work and I'm bringing both my bass rod and my ultralight for crappie. I love crappie fishing, but it's all fun, regardless!
Great video brotha looks like a fun time 🤙🏽 id recommend giving a little intro or something letting us know what’s goin on other than that great content
Shooooweeeee!! Landin them hogs ! Where you fishin at ? We got some monsters here in my neck of the woods , tennessee
This lil guy was caught in Columbia SC.
What time? And how long is it?
Haven't decided yet. Maybe all day: get there late, leave early if you want. Folks seem to like that. Weather permitting I'll be there sunup to sundown. Folks work on Saturday. So I try to leave a window of opportunity for them.
