Part: 1 of 3:
Paul Elias did something on Falcon Lake that nobody, including himself, thought possible. He averaged nearly 7-pound bass over April 3-6 to capture the BASS all-time heavyweight record. See, for the first time, every bass he pulls into the boat (and some he missed), and an interview with Elias that walks you through his emotions on the final day of the Bassmaster Elite Series Lone Star Shootout presented by Longhorn. Did he think he had enough to win? What did Aaron Martens tell him before the weigh-in? Find out in the exclusive, full-length show. It's something youv'e never seen before and might never see again: Paul Elias, 132 pounds, 8 ounces. Watch now!

Paul is awesome, he has been at it for a long time and has caught much bigger fish for sure but this was a tournament for those who dont get it .

@bobbyterrito8011 8 жыл бұрын

The kneel and reel. Love this technique is learned from watching Paul. Really gets that crank bait down deep.

@cherokeelaketennessee7895 3 жыл бұрын

and he did this without spot-lock and livescope. I met Paul and several of the old timers at a PAA tournament here on Cherokee Lake back around 2010, really nice guys. Shaw Grigsby was awesome and went out of his way to talk to fans. I was glad I went to the weigh-in because fans would be standing beside the anglers while they were at the water tanks, taking pics and just visiting.

Do you notice that he doesn't use the drag? He shifts the reel to free spool and uses his thumb.

@edwardthayer9386 5 жыл бұрын

That's what most long time bass fishermen do. Same thing with spinning reels, we don't use the drag but back wind.

@georgetraylor7835 5 жыл бұрын

had one had a leather pad to press on the spool from burning the thumb.

Watching this in 2021 while I’ve been in a slump. Weighed in maybe 13-15 lbs for 5. in my last few tournaments. I need me a 30 lb sack to go ahead & get back in the right mind of things. Listening to him say “ I only had 20-22 lbs for my first 5 “ made me laugh. I’d love to have that lol

That lake was unreal a few years ago. I had 13 8 lbers in a row on one point. Me and my partner caught 400 plus pounds in a day. Only weighed 5 plus fish. Heaven on earth. I actually quit fishing after that for years because nothing could compete.

Rod Crawford! Almost broke the record string of Bass for real...237pounds for 20 bass! The record still stands at 240 pounds of a string of bass. Came that close, my Brother's and myself on a spring morning March 8th 1987, our fish came from a place pretty close to where the record was set at Ocklawaha River. Monsters lurk there! What really made it all worth talking about is we returned everyone of the fish back to the exact spot She was caught. Memories last forever...

First, braid is much smaller diameter, so you can use 50 lb braid that is around the same diameter as 10-12 lb mono, so may as well use it and not worry about the line snapping. Second, when going for big bass that fight hard, a 4lb bass can break 10 lb test which is why it is suggested to stick with around 15-20 lb test line. I myself use 15 lb Pline CX and have never had a line break on bigger fish, even pike, 3 foot long turtle and catfish.
