Springtime Smallmouth Kayak Fishing at the Pristine Buffalo River - BROKEN POLE on SMALLIE

Join me as we head back to the Buffalo River in search of the elusive smallmouth bass. Early Spring brings terrific opportunities to catch large smallmouth in Middle Tennessee. I dabbled with topwater (whopper plopper), spinner bait (Booyah), ned rigs (bulletz, Nikko, Yamamoto Yamatanuki) on this trip.

Nice! Thanks for watching!

Sweet video! Nice catches too. Hopefully I can tag along for one. I’ve never seen a rod snap! That’s wild! Hope they replace it for you!

[@chunkyfellafishing]

Thanks for watching, man!

It's a beautiful river, even with all the tornado damage. Did you find out if they will replace your rod yet?

[@chunkyfellafishing]

Not yet!

What brand, weight, color is that spinnerbait? Great video.

[@chunkyfellafishing]

You gotta ask Cookie!

Booyah pond magic in Fire Bug color. For trailer Crush City Ned, Bama craw or Goby color. Caught my two biggest this year on that setup.
