Thanks so much, Capt Caleb, this is hands down the best instructional video on throwing a Corky/Fat Boy I've ever seen, even though you say "there's no (standard) right way or wrong way to throw a Corky", this demo of an excellent and fruitful retrieve for starters and practice in warm season mode until I get the hang of this one. Can't wait to feel the solid thump. I have caught several trout on regular Corkies but put them aside not trusting my retrieve at the time with confidence. Both lures have that coldwater slow reputation established years ago, to fish it slower than Christmas, "throw it out, take a sip of a Coke, twitch it, and if the lure gets back to you before you finished the Coke, you're fishing it too fast." nonsense. I understand slowing it way down in colder water temps, but this video helps shake that dogma for warmer water.

Thanks Paul! Thank you Capt for the video. I've thrown corkies a handful of times over the years, but never had much confidence. That's probably the reason my PB speck is still under 25". Needless to say all my corkys are about to get the oily stuff wiped off and I'm going to start tying them on more often. I've always been a redfish guy, but I'm really wanting to up my game in the trout dept. You're making some great content. You'll be sitting here with 100k subs sooner than later.

Thanks Paul, and Caleb I’m so glad I found you. I’m 66 years young and don’t have a lot of time to learn the Galveston bay system on my own and even though you’re in Matagorda the techniques apply. Thanks.

Good basic training session. Much appreciated. 😊

Thanks Paul! Had a heck of a day on the water... Slow bite and no one catching keepers. Pulled out my Corky for the win!

Thanks Paul!! And you too Caleb

Thanks Paul. I fish Aransas Pass. Lots of grass. Since it comes with trebles and it's subsurface, I generally can't throw it much because I'm constantly fouling in the grass. Recently I put 2/0 Owner replacement hooks for topwaters on several of them and I think that will make a big difference in cutting through the grass. I'll definitely fish it more like a topwater now. Thank you.

Thx paul Thx for the pointers. Just bought my first one today.

Thank you for introducing me to the fatboy corky....the next time I went out fishing I used it ..for the first time....and came home with a 27 1/2 in red..thank you sooo much

Thanks Paul! And Caleb!

Thank you Paul Brown for this lure

Made it and thanks Paul. I’ll give corkys hard baits and top waters another try. I’ve only caught fish on plastics.

Thanks Paul. And thanks Capt!

Great video ! to all of us newcomers, alot of old timers won't give up any pointers

Thanks, Cap - this was very helpful... Thanks, Paul!

Thanks Paul! Gunna use this tomorrow morning here in southwest Louisiana. Gunna chase some big trout!

Thanks! As a new saltwater angler I am soaking up all your content!

Good video, my best trout on Fat Boy's has been when I stop focusing on what I am doing and start looking around , usually in a kayak and bam you get the thump and I know that she's big , head shake, weight and it's on !

Made it to the end Capt. Caleb! A few buddies and I are fishing the Baffin Bay complex in the morning, and you can bet a corky is going to be tied onto the end of my leader line. Tight Lines bud, these informational vids are spot on!

I just bought one for the first time; I can't wait to try. Thanks for the tutorial

Thanks Paul! Just bought my first Corky, excited to give it a try. Thanks Capt Caleb for the detail on working it.

Thanks, my boss just gave me a few corkies and ive been wanting to try them, i just didnt know where to start of how to work them. This video cleared up a lot of questions i had

Thanks Paul! and thanks Capt Caleb

Thanks Mr. Paul Brown!

Thanks Paul (and Capt Caleb)

We appreciate you Paul!!!! 🎣🎏

This is a great video your info is to the bone the real deal

Thanks Paul! Now to finish switching my hooks out to singles and try this lure out on the water!

Thanks Paul. I have not been able to land a fish on a corky yet. I'll give your method a shot tomorrow.

Just bought my first Corky and thanks to your video I can’t wait to try it out using that method.

Thanks Paul definitely a great lure, and thanks Capt. Caleb it's good to see Texas boy's doing it right

Corky is King around my coastal waters.....Thanks for producing a great how to video on this lure.

Thanks Paul. Thanks Capt

Thanks Paul! And thanks Capt. Caleb for all your videos!

Thanks Paul. Good video. 🎣

Thanks Paul. Great video Caleb. I just shared it with my friend in Needville who just bought a few Corkies.

Paul makes an unbelievable bait...Appreciate you showing the ways you make this bait for you! Great clip!

Thanks Capt Caleb and thanks Paul Brown for the Corky!

Thanks Paul! Capt, thanks for the good videos. The wife is starting to chunk lures and I guess it sounds like I speak French when I try to explain how to work em, your videos help her understand a lot and I’m picking up a lot of new stuff too. Thanks man!

Thanks Paul. Sold me on the Corkie

Thanks Paul!!!! The fat boy is my absolute favorite collection of lures to throw. There ain’t nothing like that big trout corky thump!!!!!!!

Thanks Paul for making a killer bait! I’ve know about these for a while but not really how to fish them. Will be going this weekend, hopefully they’ll pull me a big trout!

Thanks Paul! And thanks Capt Caleb! Great videos. I also enjoy listening to you on the Bite Me podcast with John and Scott.

Thanks Paul! Trying to gain confidence in this lure, I’ve had great luck with the Soft Dine XL, but everyone says the Corky is king.

Thanks Paul, and thanks que capt caleb. Hands down the best tutorial and informative videos. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Always room to learn more. Thanks again

That time of year again. Here I am touching up on my technique.

Thanks Paul. Houston tx

THANKS PAUL! I have 2 in my box. They were already there when I bought my box, it was used.

Thanks Paul. Thank you Capt Caleb for making these video!

Thanks Paul . . . And thanks Caleb.

Thanks Paul and yes buddy jumping that run typically does help because when I was first fish and cookies I would do that right tip up action and Miss lots and lots of fish

Thanks Paul. Nice job Capt Caleb, enjoy the podcast as well. Good info, well presented and thanks for doing it.

Just found out about this channel a few weeks ago by listening to the Bite Me podcast. Thank you for excellent content!!!!!!!

Thanks Paul, appreciate you sharing, I love to see the video of the rod action, and lure technique. Appreciate the sharing! Tight Lines

Thanks Paul... great video

Thanks Paul... oddly enough the first fish I ever caught on a fat boy was a 32 pound black drum! But I had no clue about bending the lure so this vid will be a huge help and hopefully help get my first monster trout !

Thanks Paul. And Mike @ tx fishing force for directing me to your channel!

thanks Cap'n! this was really informative stuff.

Thank's Paul!

Thank you for the information

Thanks Paul and thanks Caleb. I always learn something when I listen to your videos. Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Paul

Awesome lure, Thanks Paul

Thank's Paul Brown ! ! !

Thanks. Nothing is worse than having a new toy and not knowing how to use it. Your tutorial could not have been any clearer. Looking forward to more learning time together!!!!

Thanks, Paul. I am going to try these tips. I feel like I’m a pretty good fisherman, but I can become much better if I get more confident with different Lures for different conditions. Videos like this really help give you the confidence to try out Lures with which you might not be so comfortable. I often hear people talk about how they love their Corkys, and while I’ve caught a few fish on them in the winter time, I have never really felt like it was all that great. I’m going to make a concerted effort to use it more and become a corky thumper like you.

Thanks Paul! I need to fish more, so much new stuff to buy and try

Thanks Paul!

Wow great description and explanation man! Thank you! Never gotten a hit but then again I wasn’t using correctly.

Thanks Paul. Used your knots rigging up my new Laguna & SLX. Now just need the wind to lay & I’ll test ‘em out

Thanks Paul! Just learned about Corkys and can't wait to use them!

Thanks Paul Brown!

Great stuff man. Keep up the good work. I like your info because it works for where I fish, Matagorda and Lavaca bays. Oh yeah, Thanks Paul.

You made this video before I subscribed good tip

Thanks Paul!!

Thank you Paul Brown and thank you Capt. Caleb!

Looking forward to throwing some corkies on the surf in a few weeks!!!

Thanks Paul!! Great video

If there's a Spec in the water? The big Momma's will smoke it! Caught my 32" PB on the Texas Chicken! Limited out every day when others weren't hooking up! I lost 7 last year at $10ea? It's worth it! I believe the Corky's I lost were from Mackerel

Thanks Paul and Capt. Caleb......preview before a speck yak tournament tomorrow is south Mississippi. Great info...

Thanks Paul! Great tutorial, keep the videos coming and love hearing you on the Bite Me podcast!

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul, new to channel great tips

Thx Paul

Thanks Paul. I use your lures frequently!

Thanks Paul! And thanks for the tutorial, Caleb. I’ve been able to get some similar action on a prototype I’m working on. Now that I see how you work a Corky, I can work mine the same and see what happens...
