Marsh bass by the MILLIONS! (roughly)
Рет қаралды 24,769
4 жыл бұрынYou might think a grown man in a fishing competition with two very young adults might take his foot off the gas, maybe coast around the corners - you know, pull a punch or two to let the youngsters stay in the game and feel like they have a chance.
But those thoughts have never crossed my mind in any fishing competition with my son, Joel, and his longtime buddy, Connor McNeil. These young men are excellent anglers, so there’s no reason to give less than 100 percent. Besides that, they’re both brutal and relentless. When they beat me on the boat, I hear about it for months.
So I REALLY didn’t want to lose last week when we set out on our most recent fishing competition. The rules of this one were among my favorite of any one-boat contest we’ve ever had. Each angler could weigh in one redfish, one bass and one other, and his cumulative total would determine his standing. But there was a caveat. A HUGE one.
The angler had to proclaim whether he’d weigh the fish as soon as he caught it, and once he weighed a fish, he couldn’t enter another in that category. It made for some difficult, spur-of-the-moment decisions on the boat that would determine who would get to be lazy the rest of the day.
The second-place finisher would get to pick whether he wanted to clean the fish or the boat, while the loser had to accomplish the leftover chore. The winner, however, could spend the time comfortably seated in a chair, surfing the internet and visiting social-media sites.
But more importantly, he’d earn bragging rights.
I really wanted that to be me. To find out if it turned out to be, check out the video.

Hey Marsh Man, enjoyed the video and especially your and your fishing buddies reaction to losing fish! It reminds me of some golfing friends that shared what a relaxing sport it is, then follow up by throwing the club about 50 yards because the bad shot. Glad you did not throw everything overboard!!! Just kidding, but we all have been there. Thanks for the tips and bait recommendation for catching MRGO trout.

@pablocarcano4070 4 жыл бұрын
What I’ve found with fluoro you have to be real careful when tightening the knots because the line heats up and causes friction, either make less loops or more lube when cinching it down

Another great video. I read the comments. The guy who thinks he's a biologist should research why those bass don't get to be five lbs. I have some fishing videos that I've posted to KZfaq and had to do a "catch and release" because some local guys think I keep too often We eat a lot of fish but I also give fish to my neighbor who really appreciates it.

Todd you may want to change to a Palomar knot for fluorocarbon. (Much better than an improved cinch knot)
@MarshManMasson 4 жыл бұрын
The Palomar is recommended for fluorocarbon only if the angler makes sure the line doesn't cross on itself.

Man, that break off was painful. Flouro is pointless and a waste of money. Check out saltstrong's stuff on Flouro vs. Mono. Personally, thats exactly why I like nothing but Mono. No leader knots or extra points of failure. Got some on my rods 5 years old and still going strong.

Hey man, I have an interesting proposition for you, your KZfaq Channel, and myself. I have a 17’ 2007 Xpress H51 with a 90hp Yamaha, lowerance elite 7 ti2, brand new I pilot terrova. I want to sell it bc I want to change things up a bit but I would rather see it go to someone who loves fishing but doesn’t have the means of cash or credit to have the opportunity to have a boat like this. Maybe we can workout a deal and you can raffle if off to your viewers on KZfaq. I think it would be cool for your Channel.

I know you catch a lot of bass in Delacroix but in the past 3 years I’ve noticed the decline of striped bass. I haven’t caught one in Delacroix since 2019 July 4th. I notice you don’t catch them in your videos too. In about 2015 you can catch like 4-5 each trip. Now you can’t see them at all or only catch one a year.
