Awesome fish!! Glad to see other people fly fishing for bass!! Also if you havent heard of the double haul technique it could help you shoot those big flies and heavier lines without putting as much arm effort into the cast!
They were eating that Zonker on the slow fall like a Senko. Both big bites you had paused and didn't really know the fish was on. Came over and scooped it!! Congrats on the fly rod PB bass. Big Bass on the fly give you a new respect for their fight.
Nice! Looks like a lot of fun, especially when the wind was settled. More ideal for casting for sure. Can I ask what fly line specifically you’re running?
Congratulations on the PB. Some unsolicited advice... I think you'd catch more fish if you work on not hitting the water on your forward cast or when you do hit the water, just lay it down and fish it.
No. There are plenty of “baits” you can use that wouldn’t technically be considered flies. A streamer is a great example. Subsurface baitfish imitation. You also have poppers for topwater, weighted craws, etc.
I'm excited to start learning how to fly fish. My local fly fishing shop said this would be overkill but I'm getting a 9ft 12wt. I'm gonna use it to get big bass out.
Hehe your excuse for not catching as much fish as ur buddy is the fly Rod and fly style u said at 2:30 but whenever I go out with my buddy n he use a spinning setup n I fly fish he complain bout not catching fish bc he don’t hav a fly pole. I be reeling in about 30 fish each spot 😫🤭
Hope you guys haven’t given up. Love these fly fishing vids! You guys rock!

Indeed, thanks Adam! Yeah that fly sinks very slow and has great action when twitched. Going for a 7+ now
I like how your a small TH-camr (no disrespect) and putting out quality videos 🎉
Thanks man! That means a lot

Former student that graduated?! Damn you don't look old enough to teach a kid that long. This is awesome congrats dude.

Show your little pond that you made in the woods please
We had to abandon that project a long time ago, sorry man
@@SlabDynasty what made you abandon it
Very nice I am yet to get on a decent size Bass on the Fly. Need 2 better my techniques w retrieving.
Thanks man! And good luck on your efforts to catch a big. Hope you break your PB like me.
What’s your leader setup on your 8wt and 5wt? Congrats on your catch!
Where you been bruh?
And how did u shoot all that line in one cast
Lots of practice for sure!
You teach in NC? What subject? I’m an Ag teacher in NC…love the fly fishing videos
When fly fishing do you have to use a fly?
No. There are plenty of “baits” you can use that wouldn’t technically be considered flies. A streamer is a great example. Subsurface baitfish imitation. You also have poppers for topwater, weighted craws, etc.
@@SlabDynasty thanks!
What reel is on your 4 wt
When will you come back to us!!??
We back 😎
@@SlabDynasty best news I've gotten all week!
I'm looking at getting my first fly rod what equipment are you using
TFO makes great rods at good prices. As far as size depends on what you’re fishing for.
I'm excited to start learning how to fly fish. My local fly fishing shop said this would be overkill but I'm getting a 9ft 12wt. I'm gonna use it to get big bass out.
That’s a hefty rod but it will allow you to throw massive flies which may be great for targeting bass. Let us know how it goes.
@@SlabDynasty thank you and I'm definitely gonna have to get big flies

Any fish on a fly rod is a good fish,and a good day of fishing is better than sports.
Exactly!
