I was on Rayburn 3 years ago, and got on a crankbait like that. Every cast to the ledge with an Arashi Deep25. Must have caught 20+ fish out of the school. It was absolutely INSANE! Same conditions. Chilly, crazy foggy, and in February.
Look man as a "Newbie" I just fished against the current US open champ, and his good friend from the MLF. I have no problem fishing against those guys. Its pretty cool to have them local and learn from the experience. I find it incredibly funny, that they are always the last boat to show up to registration, and are the last boat to put in... While the rest of the field is already floating. Mike the "IKE says it best. I'm not worried about the other guys. I am worried about what I have to do to catch'em. I also try to be respectful of their space. They are there just like I am, To have fun and stay sharp, or get better. Cool to have you guys around. And don't mind fishing against you all.
Y’all are welcome to come fish the Friday Nighters on Houston County anytime! They usually start up the end of May. Usually only a $400-500 pot but it’s fishing!
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 ok Todd tell why you was banned look at the video to me a good day. I seen you use different lures and how off creek, weed beds secondary point ok. So why
I could see winning every match would be a thorn, but I would hope the fishing community talks , and shares their knowledge like other sports. Sure the best spots of structure/current will be in your sleeve, but the overall approach should be shared between anglers, and thought to the next generation. Cheers

Clueless in the county
I apologize I've answered it 50 times in the comments section and had stopped responding. They put in rules after this event that made it ineligible for me to fish any of their future events. They put in a rule that no Pros were allowed to fish their upcoming events for the upcoming year. I'm not fishing pro events this year so the other rule states that if you fished any pro event in the past 12 months you aren't allowed to fish. This basically made me the only person that fishes their events ineligible. Hence the title we won and NOW WE"RE BANNED. Seems they made a rule that only applies to me.
Can you run both size hybrid hunters on the same size line..? Just try the bigger one yesterday afternoon and threw it on a medium 7'6" falcon rod .. 20 pound test didn't work at all .. what should I be throwing it on to keep the bait up and burning without constantly blowing out or trying to roll..? Thanks for the help.
Mr. Castledine I have been following all your videos on TH-cam and both you and your videos are great. Thank you for them and the information you give. I am new to the Hybrid Hunter and I am going into a 2 day Bass tournament on a clear water lake with grass areas. I wont have time for pre -fishing (working ) what color HH to throw? Southern Ontario here. Thank you and all the best.
My buddy and I fished a tournament on Rayburn and ended up winning. We caught them deep cranking a 6XD and then went throwing a new Strike King Hybrid Hunter in the grass. We caught a bunch of big fish and won the event. However, now we are banned from fishing future events.
The thing people don’t understand is that the rules state pros cant fish these local tournaments. Todd is a great guy I’ve met him several times. Nothing against him in particular
The rules didn't state I couldn't fish, they put rules in after the event so I couldn't fish future events. Thing is I'm not fishing Pro events this year, I'm just like everyone else.
Like I said I think you’re a great guy as I met you several times last year. But whether you fish pros this year you’re still a pro in 99% peoples eyes
I fish local tournaments around east Texas and how tou guys smashed this one out is still the talk on the creek bank. I live on lake fork and fish just about everyday throwing the old XD 8 and 10 but never had a school like this just go nuts.Ive been pretty close to the hump your fishing on Rayburn and done pretty good but never seen that many double fish hook ups landed. This was awesome to see.........
You should just hold a tournament same day and time for "OutLawed OutLaws" aka individuals who are banned from the tournament for being BAMF. See who signs up, if nobody else does then you know they are targeting y'all.
Looks like a fun day of fishing especially for a tournament day! That drum was massive! Great job guys and you know your good when they ban you afterwards
Whats the point of entering a tournament if they ban all the good players, i only wanna conpete aginst the best .. lame ass tournament imo, bet everyone gets a trophy huh ?
Brooo. Some of these guys that catch 30 + lbs. Dont have video to prove how and when they caught um.. and you guys have the footage. And still no respect!!. As Barkley would say that's TURRRIBLE !!! GOOD SHIT GUYS
That’s crazy anytime I hear a pro might be fishing one of our local tournaments I make it a point to go fish to see if I can beat them. But there are a bunch of crybaby anglers out there.
If I fished a tournament in the past 12 months as a pro, no rule in place at the time. I fish all these events around Rayburn and no one has a rule like that.
If I fished a tournament in the past 12 months as a pro They made a rule that pros can't fish after this event. Im not fishing as a pro this year so they made the rule above which only applies to me.
@2:40 Boys and Girls take note how his partner had the net already in the water , to not spook the fish into another short hard run, or get near the fishing line......A practice that's normal for most experienced fishermen , and the earlier you make this automatic . The one that got away , didn't get away.....
That lower part of the gill flap is one of the toughest places to unhook a lure. Caught a 25 incher (7 or 8lbs) with one hook on a Zara Puppy sunk deep in it's jawbone. If that fish is still alive, part of that hook is probably still there.
WHat at all was done wrong to be banned , you guys caught them exactly how you should and had a great day ! Banned for what ? I want to just see what the hybrid hunter is , if its a crankbait my favorite bait im gonna be exited !
Great catch for that day guys. Sweet drum catch to nothing better than being totally excited and disappointed at the same time. So I never seen anything that you guys did to get banned but if that's what that tournament club wants then you guys are better off finding other tournaments to fish. Again congrats on the catch and win. Great video
They made a rule that "PROS" can't fish this next coming year. Except I'm not fishing pro events so they came up with another rule that if you fished a pro event in the past 12 months then your not allowed to fish. Basically there are 10 guys in the country that the last rule applies to, I'm the only guy of the 10 that actually fished one of his events. I'm allowed to fish any other event in the country.
That's funny. The first Long Range 22Long Rifle competition I completed in, I won the purse. Every match since there has been no purse. Lol. I guess when you roll up with a custom built rifle and spank em they imagine you don't need the money. Thing is, the only objects I spend dough on are my fishing, hunting, and working tools. I'm a thrifty SOB on groceries, clothes, etc.
They shouldn’t ban you. We fish a local tourney circuit in Az and it’s open to whoever wants to fish…ya we get our butts kicked once in a while but one tourney we beat a MLF pro and cashed a check. I like fishing against em cause you find out what you are made of. Did you beat em, hang with em, or get blown out.. the key is as long as they are cool then everybody wins IMO. If you want to be the best you gotta beat the best..
Man y’all killed it! Who cares about about the band. More great vids! It’s a win for us the fans. They could learn something if they stopped hating. Congrats
Just when you think congratulations are in order..Bam! I know the feeling, I was black balled (their words not mine) from fishing BASS Federation tournaments 20yrs ago for you guessed it...winning to often. I was told by the president and vise president at the time "Go pro or go home". I thought they were joking. They were not! You guy's really rocked them, Fish on brother!
Whatever happened to compete against better competition to make yourself better?? That's the way I was raised. You get beat weather it's at basketball, baseball or fishing or whatever to get better? I guess that's the world we live in now. Nobody wants to EARN anything anymore. They are to lazy or to use to people giving them what they want. Either way, keep on doing you! Tight Lines and Semper Fi!
Todd Castledine Fishing that sounds like the truth tbh, nobody wants to join if ur in tourney, what a bunch of grown spoon fed bitches smh 🤦🏻♂️ if they not good enough then maybe they should try golf or some other dumb shit! If u wanna be the best you gotta beat the best ! Period! Its called a tournament ! Makes me sick ! Dont let up on em , we know the truth , keep up the good work kickin ass bro
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 atleast once in your life you need to do it..Go round shallow coves and catch your shiners or shad im telling you man you wont regret it..i caught a 14.6oz tank in 16 foot of water on a 8inch live shiner dude my pb to this day..I would locate them and then drop the shad down dude it works like no other!! Iv caught dozens and dozens of 11 and 12 pounders this way..Works great for stripers and hybrids to..if there suspended from the bottom then tie on a party ballon it not near rough on a shiner then a bobbaer is dude trust me..the ballon only needs be blown up size of a half dollar is all..
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 totally unlawful to do so you do have legal recourse if you choose or be a bigger man and let your video speak for you two, your obviously too good for their competition, fish on my man.
@Gregory Smith Why? He's a product tester for Strike King. He was testing future product. It's not like he got the fish out of a cage or off a stringer tied to some tree (I'm looking at you Mike Long). Sure no one else has it, but I have a feeling Todd and his partner worked their butts off to find these fish and that's why they caught them.
Now that’s freaking sad! Getting banned for being too good! Never thought that would occur in the sport of bass fishing! I guess the tourney directors are worried about hurting feelings! Jesus what’s happening to our country?! Participation trophies for everyone! 👎🏻
In all fairness, if it’s a local circuit with mostly weekend anglers, no one wants to throw their money away to someone who spends 200+ days a year on the water. There are circuits for pro anglers. If it is a big tournament circuit, then no level of angler should be turned away.
After whackin em like that , its so hard to retrieve your bait as before, instead of ripping it with those 6.2:1 26 inches per crank reels....From the adrenaline pumping during a tourney you know your placing in , if not walking away with the win. I miss that shit.
Still have to find the fish and you still have to utilize baits an techniques ‘new’ or old just like everybody else. So skip over the whiners and keep on fishing strong guys!
if you are culling fish, I thought the rule was when you brought in your 6th fish, your partner has to stop fishing until you cull. You cannot have 7 fish in the boat- am I mistaken?
They’ve done the same out West, if your a guide or a pro your not allowed in certain circuits. But what is BS is now its the same few teams that win all the time. There is no difference if the guides and the pros fish. It’ll just be a different bunch of guys that always win. Always going to guys that cry, either way
Don’t understand a ban , no cheating involved all I see if tanks being caught , good sack of fish you guys caught looks like some of our pickwick lake sacks nice video
Here’s the deal for years I spent days upon days fishing Rayburn and fishing tournaments on Rayburn sometimes 20 a year, then one day I started fishing the tour even though I had qualified every year for years. Was I any better the day before I started fishing the tour or the day after. When I fished the tour that year I had spent about 6 days on Rayburn as opposed to 75 days. As a competitor would you rather fish against a guy who fishes every weekend and crushes it or the guy who shows up without being on the lake for months because that’s what happened. I won a lot more tournaments on Rayburn when I was there full time rather than just showing up once or twice a year
I know it’s a team tourney, and team trail rules are different, but aren’t you supposed to stop fishing when you cull? 6 fish are in the boat but the partner continues to cast.
I was talking to shane lineberger about this...people think pro's have an advantage over everyone else when they actually Dont. a lot of locals are just as good as the pros they just havent had their lucky break or they dont wana fish professionally. They also can fish the local lakes more often than most pro's. the people that complain about pro's fishing tournaments are the ones that never win anyway...I dont understand it. everyone starts at 0lbs. even the pro's
I've seen two fish on a crankbait but not twice almost back to back. That was pretty cool.
I've hooked up on 2 at same time trolling a crankbait an landed both of them . Video name camp creek ramp anderson sc.
I was on Rayburn 3 years ago, and got on a crankbait like that. Every cast to the ledge with an Arashi Deep25. Must have caught 20+ fish out of the school. It was absolutely INSANE! Same conditions. Chilly, crazy foggy, and in February.

Surprised you didn't mention that.
Look at some comments they just created rules that only affected me

Iv caught dozens and dozens of 11 and 12 pounders this way..Works great for stripers and hybrids to..if there suspended from the bottom then tie on a party ballon it not near rough on a shiner then a bobbaer is dude trust me..the ballon only needs be blown up size of a half dollar is all..
That looked like a fun day my man! 💪🏽
It was 💯💯💯
What was that big ass fish?
Why ban you because your a pro? Shoot that draws me out to want to compete but also I get to meet the guys who get to fish the classic.
Sort of he just wants his entries up so he can make more money, definitely a selfish deal he's not "looking out" for the other competitors.
That’s awesome Todd! Y’all had a limit in 5min! I can’t understand the ban, you video everything.
They just figure they will get more participants if we aren't in the tournament.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 totally unlawful to do so you do have legal recourse if you choose or be a bigger man and let your video speak for you two, your obviously too good for their competition, fish on my man.
@Gregory Smith Why? He's a product tester for Strike King. He was testing future product. It's not like he got the fish out of a cage or off a stringer tied to some tree (I'm looking at you Mike Long). Sure no one else has it, but I have a feeling Todd and his partner worked their butts off to find these fish and that's why they caught them.
@Gregory Smith it could just as likely been a dud. You can always build your own special lure. Nothing wrong with innovation.
@Gregory Smith everyone catches and wins on lures that somebody else may or may not have all the time......thats lame af
Now that’s freaking sad! Getting banned for being too good! Never thought that would occur in the sport of bass fishing! I guess the tourney directors are worried about hurting feelings! Jesus what’s happening to our country?! Participation trophies for everyone! 👎🏻
In all fairness, if it’s a local circuit with mostly weekend anglers, no one wants to throw their money away to someone who spends 200+ days a year on the water. There are circuits for pro anglers. If it is a big tournament circuit, then no level of angler should be turned away.
some thing happen to me but on my duck lease tho.
Must not be a BASS sanction tournament club etc you just showed up those night crawler fisherman
Fall?
yes
Don’t understand, banned for what reason 🤓
What the hell was Jason doing? Lol he was having a hard time getting that crankbait out the fishes mouth lol
Why did ya get ban?
5th. Time watching doesn't get old !!! Love the videos Thanks
Glad you like them!
After whackin em like that , its so hard to retrieve your bait as before, instead of ripping it with those 6.2:1 26 inches per crank reels....From the adrenaline pumping during a tourney you know your placing in , if not walking away with the win. I miss that shit.
Still have to find the fish and you still have to utilize baits an techniques ‘new’ or old just like everybody else. So skip over the whiners and keep on fishing strong guys!
Will do, thanks.
if you are culling fish, I thought the rule was when you brought in your 6th fish, your partner has to stop fishing until you cull. You cannot have 7 fish in the boat- am I mistaken?
8:45......Thats alot of jerkin with no results..... And the fish is dead.
That's such a dumb rule. Pros get beat by local guys all the time. Boyd fishes couple local tournaments on G and he gets handled
Exactly
“Hate us cause they ain’t us”
Joseph Guest “they hate us cause they anus?”
Thats wrong.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Sorry for you I hope you comment back because I have no clue as to what you guys did wrong all I seen was just a good day.
That's quite a sack o fish!
It was a fun day.
You did well catching in the fog ,usually a waste of time in the UK.
Fog is weird at times it can be good but I agree with you usually not.
They’ve done the same out West, if your a guide or a pro your not allowed in certain circuits. But what is BS is now its the same few teams that win all the time. There is no difference if the guides and the pros fish. It’ll just be a different bunch of guys that always win. Always going to guys that cry, either way
Yep and it seems like they just need an excuse.
Don’t understand a ban , no cheating involved all I see if tanks being caught , good sack of fish you guys caught looks like some of our pickwick lake sacks nice video
They put in rules that made me ineligible right after this event.
How does Newberry fish them? Isn't he a pro now?
What are you doing 😂😂😂
It's kinda like having a nascar guy go to a local 1/2 mile track with his high dollar machine and win!
Here’s the deal for years I spent days upon days fishing Rayburn and fishing tournaments on Rayburn sometimes 20 a year, then one day I started fishing the tour even though I had qualified every year for years. Was I any better the day before I started fishing the tour or the day after. When I fished the tour that year I had spent about 6 days on Rayburn as opposed to 75 days. As a competitor would you rather fish against a guy who fishes every weekend and crushes it or the guy who shows up without being on the lake for months because that’s what happened. I won a lot more tournaments on Rayburn when I was there full time rather than just showing up once or twice a year
I mean the guy that fished flw a few years ago on Rayburn was product testing a spinnerbait I dont see what the big deal is
I know it’s a team tourney, and team trail rules are different, but aren’t you supposed to stop fishing when you cull? 6 fish are in the boat but the partner continues to cast.
I was talking to shane lineberger about this...people think pro's have an advantage over everyone else when they actually Dont. a lot of locals are just as good as the pros they just havent had their lucky break or they dont wana fish professionally. They also can fish the local lakes more often than most pro's. the people that complain about pro's fishing tournaments are the ones that never win anyway...I dont understand it. everyone starts at 0lbs. even the pro's
"They also can fish the local lake more often than most pros" this is an underrated statement that I believe most don't want to admit.
