River Bronze - The Pursuit Of A 20 Episode 4
Welcome to River Bronze, which is all about river smallmouth bass. In this journey, my goal is to become a better river smallmouth angler, and it isn’t complete until I successfully land a 20” smallmouth bass on camera.
In today’s episode, I dropped my inflatable paddle board in the river and floated back down to my car. I had never tried something like this with my SUP so I was a little nervous when I first dropped in. After a few minutes, I realized this is a really fun way to target smallies. I definitely plan to do more river floats on the SUP in the future. Not only did I have a fun fishing platform, I was fortunate enough to get on a nice topwater bite with the buzzbait. Stay tuned for more episodes of River Bronze!

Awesome video. The buzz bait killed ‘em. I think that 20”er is getting close. Some awesome fish on this video though.

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

I hope that 20" shows up soon :) I need to get back out. I have been a bit busy with less time to fish lately.

@blakeharmer2558 11 ай бұрын

Yoga is the way, Ethan!! My wife has taught yoga for years and I'm very thankful for the things I've learned. Nice fish as always! I've never caught one on a buzz bait although it's not for lack of trying...

I know it would be good for me to do more of it. I run a bit of distance and I know the flexibility would improve my recovery, speed, let alone fishing/recreational sports.

@JerryN856 11 ай бұрын

I'm absolutely lovin this series Ethan. Keep going the way you are and you will get that 20 incher. I'm positive of that.

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

I trust I will too! Let's just hope I am not 50 years old by the time it happens ;)

Jackall rhythm wave such a killer swimbait for smallmouth

Good to hear! I need to bust it out again :)

This series is like a compressed version of my life. Always searching for that 20, always looking to learn something about the fish in the river, always happy to have a smallie on the end of the line!

Sounds like we would get along just fine :)

@ericwakeman6665 11 ай бұрын

Great series man keep up the good work! I’ve been fishing the heck out of our area and haven’t gotten within an inch of your 20 mark but I know they’re out there… LSC has been calling my name for that master angler fish…

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Ha I would love to go fish LSC but I still haven't made the time. I trust that day will come though.

Man the series just keeps getting better. River looked right for your approach and didn't disappoint. I love the feedback you provided, fearless but aware and focused on your position. The buzzbait and swim baits 1-2 punch did some work. Blessings Ethan, keep bringing it

Thanks Brian! Definitely my personal favorite video of the series so far :)

@samuelwarden6285 11 ай бұрын

Wow that river looks awesome. Smallmouth are definitely my favorite fish to target. This looks like it would be be John's kind of fishing. I'm gonna have to pick me up a couple of those black buzzbaits. 👊👍

This was one of my favorite trips of the year. So much fun on the water!

@TheHunterFisher 11 ай бұрын

Looked like a killer day! That skinny dipper is hands down my favorite swimjig trailer. Fishing on paddleboard can be surprising, I’ve never done it tho personally since I’d probably not be the best candidate🤣especially being in Florida with all these dinosaurs swimming around But the paddleboard has got some weird fish catching juju, I got a video where my friend caught a 9lb 8 oz right in front of me. Somehow got turned around and had to pull it out of a tree behind his back lol

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

I think I would poop myself fishing on a paddleboard in your waters. I honestly would be anxious about a kayak haha

@calebprice304 11 ай бұрын

Never have tried a buzz bait on a river before. Definitely will have to now. God bless tight lines

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Oh for sure! Definitely opened my eyes to how good this bait can be.

Very nice scenery and lots of action, pretty sure as soon as my son gets in we’re going to the river!! Thanks and enjoy your dinner!

That's basically how my paddle kayak acts in a river. You're just floating along and hoping you don't break a rod lol

Haha exactly. This was soooo fun though

the small mouth love pink baits over here in Wisconsin!

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Pink is definitely a good smallie color. Just seems like it is day-to-day on when it works best for whatever reason.

@FounderOf4 11 ай бұрын

I am loving this series Ethan... Not only switching up and chasing smallies but fishing from a board instead of a kayak. Great to see all of the options available to us, I haven't thought of using a board in the creeks here in KY.

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Honestly this was my favorite fishing trip of the year. Floating on a board with one rod and limited tackle is a blast!!

Ethan buddy, is this the same river for each episode?

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

I am fishing in the same general area of Michigan but will avoid posting exact location information.

@meganmisaki4429 11 ай бұрын

Never actually caught a top water fish before 👀… I’ve had hits on top water but they just never seem to get the bait🤔

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Keep trying it! This fall should be a good time to turn that around. Burn a buzzbait around when the fish start feeding aggressively.

@markschade9436 11 ай бұрын

How far were you casting those lures?

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

Anywhere from 20 feet to 70 feet I suppose.

@kunaiwithchain5278 11 ай бұрын

Do smallmouth sit inside the grass or above the grass?

@FishAnything 11 ай бұрын

I suppose they do both depending on the season/baitfish. More often than not, I find that bass sit up against the edges of vegetation as it acts like an ambush point for them.
