Awesome man! Great finish. Glad to see you back out on the water competing and catching bass.

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

Thank you! sure felt good! next stop is Orange lake

[@HellaBass]

Fun Video, way to grind out 5

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

Thanks very much! Made one day you will get down to FL and do some fishing!

[@byjfghgftf9359]

Been living and fishing this river my whole life and still do and it never disappoints if you know how to fish it

[@byjfghgftf9359]

I’m more in the green cove, Fleming area. I don’t fish the palaka part of the river often.

[@bruiserbaits1671]

CRAZY CRAW!!!!!!!!!! NICE!!!!

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

My go too!!

[@davecfishing7907]

the clearer the water seems like flouro shines, that 50-65lb braid they see it

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

In the coffee water we have don't have the problem. If I'm fishing spring water then I drop down in line size

[@lonesomeknoteye]

Way to put your name in the hat, almost 12lbs got there attention. Good to see the St John's Spottail bass are still healthy 😂, could've had a catch n cook lunch break dude. I always think to myself, how many rods do these guys really use? Great vid as always Dude✌💚

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

It's like having different golf clubs in your bag, the each serve there own purpose. Yea man just needed that big bite but was glad to get noticed.

[@sapper3082]

Do one on Santa Fe lake! My son and I keep getting our butts handed to us in our weekly tournament. We are still having fun, but we are just starting out. Wacky rigs around docks and flipping grass lines with my flipping rig.

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

I have some older videos of fishing there but I'm over due for a trip there! The next videos coming out are gonna be on Orange lake.

[@The_Pepper_Passion]

I got a 9 LB at Lake Swan this Year. I'm sure Santa Fe has monsters

[@kendyal7959]

Good Job

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

Thank you very much!

[@chrisford736]

This is my first year tournament fishing bass. Fished a few kayak saltwater tournaments before. St johns is my next stop, just finished rodmans. Never been south of the shands bridge, lots of homework to do.

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

The river is a tricky place to learn, the further we get away from the spawn though, the more the bigger fish head off shore to the shell bars and deeper water structure.

[@YhogiQpunk]

Luar biasaa sahabat kuu..mantap

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

[@The_Pepper_Passion]
