So I know some of you are looking for that creek smallie video from yesterday, but unfortunately I misplaced the hard drive with that footage :P Good news though, I uploaded my fishing trip from today AND I just found the hard drive with the footage from yesterday! Look out for an epic smallmouth video coming friday!
Were you born an idiot, or did you have to work at it? Whichever it was, you should definitely turn pro. You'd win every "How Stupid Can You Get" contest hands down.
its awsome when you see the fish take the lure, thats how I caught my first ever smallmouth and it was even on a fly rod. that was one of the best feeling in the world.
A good tip for the swagger jig or any type of chatterbait is to put a size 1 gomakatsu trailer hook on after you put a trailer bait of your choice. It helps to catch those bass that don't quite get it on the fly
Re: that heron chasing your chatterbait - I was reading a book written by legendary bass pro Jimmy Houston (who I have met several times, being a fellow Okie, i.e. Oklahoma native) and in the book he tells a story of topwater fishing at night in the summer for largemouth bass... he gets a massive hit, sets the hook and his line goes up in the air!! A freakin' owl grabbed his bait off the surface of the water!
Hey mike just wanted to say how much I love ur channel and ur probably one of my favorite fisherman, everytime I see a new notification from ur channel I get REALLY excited love the vids keep up the amazing work u put into every video and I dont care if u comment or not on this I just really wanted to express how much ur channel means to me. :D
I've noticed that a lot of the z-man chatterbaits have super dull tips like you said, the strike king ones are the way to go, they have a gamakatsu hook and real good vibration on a slow retrieve in the 3/8oz and if you want to work it faster than step it up to the 1/2oz
Mike: No don’t eat my bait!!!!!! Heron: *tries to eat but fails* Mike: That would’ve been an interesting first catch *casts near the heron multiple times*
Hey thanks for posting the vids. I took up fishing this year, and with your tips i was able to catch my first big fish. 4lb Smallie! I would like to see a video of you taking a normal reel like a bps pro qualifier and modding it! and showing the difference in casting distance/drag feel etc.
only mike would wear his non-rain gear when it is raining, and complain. for the love of the game (BTW its 12:57 AM, my dedication to watching mikes videos)
Do you think the tail on the Swagger Jig is too long? Is that why the one fish was hanging by his teeth to it, not being hooked when you pulled him up out of the water?
that bird was fierce! Matt and I saw one out there on Monday with a Jerkbait in its beak! It was standing on a boat and I thought it was a statue when he pointed it out ..until it flew away. The things you see on the water
I was cracking up when you back home and you were looking at the camera and you were like is the camera moving oh well this is awkward I just found that funny
I only caught a single 14 inch bass last Sunday near Bull Run. Maybe I will run into you guys one day out on the reservoir. I always have my 3 1/2 year old son who is a fan of your channel!
Trying new baits is always fun, sort of how I feel when testing proto types baits for our CCB custom baits. Good to see your not a fair weather fisherman, a little rain big deal. Had a heron chase my spook five cast in a row, finally had to leave the area. Scott -CCB.
Just a quick observation from watching the video. Not trying to armchair the quarterback or anything lol. If I had gotten that initial chatterbait bite (lethargic fish swims slowly up and halfway inhales the bait), I would have immediately switched to something slower, like a jig. The way a fish bites can tell you a lot about the mood they're in.
Buddha Baits makes good stuff and the price is right. I bought one of their double willow bluegill spinnerbaits and the same color in their "snooze alarm" buzzbait off tackle warehouse last year. They've both caught fish and held up well for being decently cheap honestly.
That Swagger chatter bait from Buddha bait co is legit Mike I caught my 2 PB Peacock bass on it down here in Miami. really liked it and I too got it in a MTB. tight lines bro.
Mike I'd like to see you catch fish with the pond fishing box or finesse essentials. I hope in the future they have walleye catch co boxes. Hey off topic of catch co boxes. Are you doing any ice fishing videos this year?
Mike you are a great fisherman so I think you should try and fish at puddingstone lake, San Dimas,CA it will be a challenge you should go to sailboat cove there
So I really love the keitechs but recently I picked up a couple boxes of the bass pro version and although they don't seem to have as much action they do seem like the held up a little better, the areas I fish are thick with grass so I tend to fish them slow on the bottom or across the deep grass and they did hold up a bit more then the keitechs. Any opinion on that?
Mike, could you consider possibly making a video about how to remove hooks from fish? I'm an amateur fisherman, and I catch a decent amount of fish, but I honestly don't know the correct way to remove hooks, especially ones that are deeper in their throat. also, how to hold the fish when you're unhooking it, etc. anyways Mike, great video, I always love these because it's like a mini unboxing along with the fishing. tight lines mike
I'm not Mike but if you have trouble unhooking a fish pliers will come in handy,gives leverage and power. If the fish is deep hooked, look up the "through the gill hook removal."
I love how mike isn't obsessed with cameras and making vlogs and beats. He is focused on fishing and thats why I love his channel.

James Ritchie your a jackass
Mike the most hardcore fisherman of the whole googan squad.
Love how you put your rod/lure set up in the descriptions....much appreciated
its awsome when you see the fish take the lure, thats how I caught my first ever smallmouth and it was even on a fly rod. that was one of the best feeling in the world.
I like videos with matt.... seems like a cool dude
I agree. I like his videos aswell.
same here. i like matt
Thanks everybody! You guys are awesome.
Yeah he's cool. Also his channel's pretty good
Totally agree. Super chill dude

Mike, I appreciate you answering questions and not doing VLOGS so much. Also, I enjoy the instructions and tips, and just the pure fishing!
glad you're enjoying my vids, thanks for watching!

"Dab to live" I died after that
I like 1rod the best because he never wants to stop fishing because he wants to get better and because he's hilarious
I enjoy watching your vids man keep it up in actually learn more from your vids than any other

I love the Pond hopper box. I landed my PB 6lb Largemouth with the red eye lipless crankbait yesterday!
only mike would wear his non-rain gear when it is raining, and complain. for the love of the game
(BTW its 12:57 AM, my dedication to watching mikes videos)
Ayyyy that’s what I like to see 😎
@@1Rod1ReelFishing can i send you a lure for the whole googan squad tp sign?
That is so weird how that Blue Heron went after your bait! I kayak fish a river a lot, and I have never seen that. Then he came back!!! Wow!
For what ever reason I enjoy your videos way more than Johns.
Do you think the tail on the Swagger Jig is too long?
Is that why the one fish was hanging by his teeth to it, not being hooked when you pulled him up out of the water?
yes mike!!! favorite videos!!! thanks for the video
that bird was fierce! Matt and I saw one out there on Monday with a Jerkbait in its beak! It was standing on a boat and I thought it was a statue when he pointed it out ..until it flew away. The things you see on the water
+Water Warrior Fishing haha he told me about that!
The first fishes strike was so cool
1rod1reel you get me so pumped for fishing love your vids learned so much from you and love you vids with Matt
Mike you should fish the fall largemouth box, would be cool to see how you use those baits in ponds/small lakes around Maryland.
Deep water bassin or gulf coast favorites, can't make it to easy
nice video and nice place for fishing, greetings from Perú.
yall guys are great I watch all yall's video's and yall have taught me a lot about bass fishing :)
Go with the fall largemouth box!!!
Or for a challenge take the pond hopper box this thing was a grind...
I was cracking up when you back home and you were looking at the camera and you were like is the camera moving oh well this is awkward I just found that funny
that's so awesome!! I live right there!! Good to know there's actually fish worth catching in there. guess I need to try out the fountainhead area
I like that slow motion dap
nice! those crawfish are one of my favorite
U know what's better than a swagger jig a swagger jig on a stick
The action on my Buddha baits swagger jig was so good an alligator ate it
thank you your vids are very helpful keep making more.
Lol "here comes my friend"
"5 seconds of calm" - when peric loses a "10" pounder
You and birds mike😂
The fall largemouth box sounds like a winner to me lol
It's all good. Keep up the good work and keep pumping out the great vids
I only caught a single 14 inch bass last Sunday near Bull Run. Maybe I will run into you guys one day out on the reservoir. I always have my 3 1/2 year old son who is a fan of your channel!
Lmfao that hook set at 5:40

The God box because u r a god

I'd love to see more trout videos mike! Possibly fly fishing
love his boat
That Swagger chatter bait from Buddha bait co is legit Mike I caught my 2 PB Peacock bass on it down here in Miami. really liked it and I too got it in a MTB. tight lines bro.
can definelty tell youre loving those summit rods, maybe one day ill take the plunge and get one, its so purty.
How about trying out the ledge fishing catch co box. Could be a great way to practice some of that offshore fishing I suppose.
Mike I'd like to see you catch fish with the pond fishing box or finesse essentials. I hope in the future they have walleye catch co boxes. Hey off topic of catch co boxes. Are you doing any ice fishing videos this year?
Mike you are a great fisherman so I think you should try and fish at puddingstone lake, San Dimas,CA it will be a challenge you should go to sailboat cove there
Get the pond hopper looks like a good box for me and I would like to see how you would use them all
So I really love the keitechs but recently I picked up a couple boxes of the bass pro version and although they don't seem to have as much action they do seem like the held up a little better, the areas I fish are thick with grass so I tend to fish them slow on the bottom or across the deep grass and they did hold up a bit more then the keitechs. Any opinion on that?
Love the vids and I've learned alot from them over time
Great vid man I love your videos and you inspire me to fish and never give up
1rod casually uses my dream reel in the rain
ahhhh the dynamic "lurs"
How come he uses a 20-30 lb line when most of his catches here will he be 10 or under?
Thanks!
Top water box!!!!
Hey one rod one reel you have thought me so much thank you for making these videos
+Adam Cochran thanks for the support bro, much appreciated!
Finesse box!
Boat flippn 5lbers?lol...love those rainy days...nice vid Mike
What's that hook clip you have on your rod called?
comes with the rod
I`ve seen similars at Wal Mart.
you can buy one similar called a Fuji EZ Keeper II
Dylan Regan thanks! Found it on tackle warehouse.
awesome video man...wish you guys came to my country (Zambia in Africa)...we would have gone for tiger fish...amazing fish to catch

+Vztec v1 I actually have a gut removal video in my how-to playlist 👍
1Rod1ReelFishing ur awesome and my fav ever
I love the Swagger Jig! I got one in my MTB a while ago, sadly the lead ring on the jig itself broke and i lost it.
BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD MTB
your the best maksym
the big game box for muskie!!!!
Dab to live hahaha that had me dying laughing
Nice video fished in rain today caught a 3.4 lb on my new kvd rod and president reel. Wiith a Gary yamamoto baby bass popper
cool videos I watch them all the time
If you added a peric face to that blue gill that wasn't hooked I probably would've cried😂
I love the swagger jig I prefer it more than the Z man because it last forever over 100 Smalleys including a few musky
shad patterns at little Seneca lake or the fall smallies in the potomac
First comment 😊 your an awesome fisherman!
Blue Herron is hungry:)
How many brakes do you have turned on on your Antares?
+AUstin lake I always keep it at one or two
WOW
Do either Big Game Hunter or Shad Patterns, both look really good and feel like your style of fishing. Those are the two I'm thinking about getting.
Do those summit rods only have a bottom grip?
My first cast with that chatterbait the blade came off of the jig.. thanks mtb
Gulf coast favorites for bass or deep water bassin at a pond
wouldn't having your bait casters in the rain rust up the gears or do you dry them
ish manroe
great heron action
Where did you guys launch from? That is mainly where I fish at
+boostless fountainhead
Unlucky day with the missed fish. I recently started using a chatterbait...definitely gonna give that swagger bait a try
No way, he was fishing 20 minutes from me! Northern Virginia yeah boys
