New Video From The Weekend - Vicious Topwater Strike!!

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone! As promised I'm back with another video! After fishing all morning without a nibble I almost gave up and went home. I'm now glad I didn't! I commited to paddling up the lake and into a creek to find some shallow water. After what seemed like an eternity, I located a nice area with some lilly pads in 1-3 ft of water. As I was working my lizard across the surface, hopping from pad to pad I saw the water "buckle" and a giant ripple work it's way out from my bait. I knew at that point someone was home and she was not happy......check it out, the HD version if possible!

In the pads with spinning gear and mono? I would have been so scared trying to land that pretty fish! Congrats. :D

That was indeed a fantastic hit and a good fish!

Yeah I won't deny I'm slightly tweaked. Just look at the facts, hehe.

1. Fishing pads in a 50lb plastic boat with goofy reflectors and homemade tail light..........check.

2. Flip HD and HatCam are not waterproof, scattered showers throughout the morning...........check.

3. Using spinning gear and 8lb flourocarbon in pads on top.............check.

Turns out if you work your lure pretty quick and hop your bait from pad to pad Flouro "kind of" floats!

That's what I love about fishing man, I do everything wrong but it's Oh so right, haha!!

Yak fishing rules...

Nice fish. I can't wait for topwater to turn on here.

There is no such thing as a wrong way to fish. Rules are for work and ballgames.

Very Nice!!! WTG

Nice fish man... and it's so funny you use that line "that'll about stop your heart" cuz it's so true... that explosion is priceless.

Good line, good drag, Med. Power rod I assume, seems logical. Makes for a better catch good job!!!!!!!

Killer! That swell before the strike is totally heart stopping!

What's funny is I wasn't sure if that was the same fish that made that swell or a bigger one so I stayed for about 20 min. and totally soaked that area with that lizard. Didn't get another bite though, haha!
