We were on the hunt for a double digit class fish and it happened quite fast. After 3 outings we ran into the right one. Only 1 bite on day 3 but it was the right bite. Hope you guys enjoy ZQBY3TQ64VX6ABRP

That’s how you know Damian is well seasoned and has caught many DDs before. He’s not going crazy out of excitement. I would’ve been screaming after catching like that! 😂

Love this video, man. You make it look like it's so easy - just go out there four times and throw big baits, haha. A lot of people are not going to understand how good you are at fishing.

Mr. Damian . . . That was a WHOPPER 10lber 👊 and another fish to include in your big bass compilation. I think Outdoor Channel needs to inlcude you in their angler lineup, with Ott DeFoe and Chris Lane, for their "The Hunt For Monster Bass" show 👍. Again, another enjoyed vid and many "Thanks" for continuing to share your set-up and techniques 🤙.

For you NON-LOCAL, non-Californian and central californian's.... Eastman lake is a TROPHY lake for LARGE MOUTH BASS! It is the only TROPHY LAKE IN CALIFORNIA. I chatted with one of the Park Ranger there years ago and he told me that Eastman Lake was once banned from all fishing and recreation etc. They had to drain the lake due to some issues and repopulated the lake in the mid-80's and didn't allow any sort of fishing by the ARMY core. Years later ( almost a decade), the lake was lifted back for recreation and fishing. However, the LIMIT to keep LARGE MOUTH BASS IS 22 INCHES! For me, 22 inches = a GUARANTEE 5lbs or more! and only keep 1 bass over 22 inches. Most people practice catch and release. The lake is heavily pressure by the locals, but when you catch one, more than likely its pretty decent. You'll get a lot of dinks, but you'll definitely hook-up to a really decent size. And if you do, your pretty good at fishing, since the lake is heavily pressure.

@cloutmaster9653 ай бұрын
How is letting keepers be over 22 making it a trophy lake? That just makes room for overpopulation of dinks who compete with the big bass

just to mention fish handling. We love big bass, lets handle then right. 3 min out of water is going give her a headache. the nice thing to do is when you net her, let her chill in the net in the water for a minute or two before weighing etc. imagine doing a super set then running from the cops for your life, and then the cops catch you, and your out of breath and they stick you straight into a bathtub headfirst for 3 minutes. I see some these kids talking for 5 minutes while holding the bass.. the bass go into shock after a minute. Just be quick about it. boom, release.
