Remember to keep that rod tip down on the water and pointed at the fly while stripping, to minimize slack. Fly fishing largies is so much fun! Especially in a trophy pond. Great video!
Bro! I laughed out loud when you went "Big...big...big...biggER...not a giant...about 2". Been there done that sooo many times and will again no doubt. It's amazing how much weight they lose the closer they get! Love the content! I done a fair amount of SMB and LMB on the fly and it can get in the blood bad. You are going to catch that 5 to 10 lb any day. Right now ya just got grind it out till everything gets to be second nature. Keep that rod tip on the water and pointed at the fly. really helps with strike detection and hook set power. Again, love the content. Love your attitude bro.
Thanks for the advice! And yeah it’s always a big until you see it haha. Glad you love the content. I break my PB in our next video, so definitely tune in to that! This time it’s actually a big haha.
Glad to see you out in Charlotte! I am up in the Salsbury area, still pretty new to fly fishing but have had all kinds of fun out here! We are pretty lucky to have access to bass and a quick hop up to the mountains for trout.
Rod is an 8wt TFO TFR. 8wt orvis Clearwater floating line and I can’t quite remember what our leader/tippet setup was, but in general a 3-5ft straight mono or flouro leader works for this, you can do small sections and create a taper too if you want better turnover
What type of fly line you using seems like floating fly line and how many ft of leader and what weight leader and what’s ur favorite streamers for large mouth also is your friend Levi using a 8wt?
I’m using an 8wt rod with 8wt floating line. I have about 4 feet of 16 lb fluoro leader, but I’ve since learned that shorter leaders are more effective. Levi is using a 4 wt rod for the smaller topwater poppers. My favorite streamer for largemouth is a cone head zonker in black (featured in this video).
I personally use the SA frequency sink tip. As for what’s best, it really just depends on your desired sink rate. I’m certainly no expert, but any fly shop near you will have great information regarding line.
That is the Twin Troller. It’s the best small waters boat. Check them out at freedomelectricmarine.com We have a discount code “SD100” if you end up getting yourself one.

@@SlabDynastydoes that line burn u when ur pulling it like that
U guys make the best bass fishing vids ever pls make more I love them
great stuff! keep that tip of the fly rod down in the water and you'll get a much better strip set into those bucket mouths!
If you lower your rod tip you’ll feel more of the steamer takes and probably be able to set the hook easier ;)
Great tip…no pun intended

I think I’ve wached this vid for the thousandth time I love your vids
I love how I can tell there's a big hit coming when the music starts to slowly fade in. Gets me freaking hyped! lol
Yessir! Gotta set the mood haha. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Mama it’s so cool too see largies on the fly be more prevalent such a fun way too catch them
That was a nice strip set on that first fish.
That music had me thinkin you were about to catch a double digit
I wish!
Great video! Just discovered your channel. Can you cover your gear set up a little more in detail?

Hey man! As the summer gets hotter you should look into investing in some sinking fly line. It was definitely increase fish caught when they’re deep!
Thanks for the tip! We have some sinking line that we used for catching striper this past winter. It might be time to throw it back on the 8 wt.
Good stuff. Can't wait for that next vid to drop. I like the preview gets me pumped
Thanks Mike! It’s gonna be hype! I can’t wait to show everyone the vid. The pond I went to was absolutely loaded with good fish.

@@SlabDynasty thank you so when using floating line a shorter leader is better I would think a longer one would be better to get deeper in the water
thats an awesome boat!
Thanks man! The Twin Troller is unmatched.
Hey bud I have a question? What’s the best sinking fly line for throwing streamers for large mouth in ponds 7wt-8wt?
I personally use the SA frequency sink tip. As for what’s best, it really just depends on your desired sink rate. I’m certainly no expert, but any fly shop near you will have great information regarding line.
Can't go wrong with Cortlands 444 sink tip👌
Excited to see the PB catch! This vid was good too! You seem to hook up more when that cone head sinks. Might be how it falls is the key
Yeah it falls very slow, much like a senko.
What kind of boat is that?

New sub! Liked 🙏🙏🤗
Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoyed the vid. More to come soon!
You should try a game changer.
Best way to fly fish for bass is a streamer on a mono rig
What’s more important is the setup, you didn’t mention anything about., nobody is interested and watching anybody catching fish. 🤔
Yessir! Pumped for this video!
It’s a good one! Hope you like it
Bro just use a 6 weight and learn to double haul
