I got out early and fished the reservoir, hoping to at least catch some fish. The weather was nice and there was a fog on the water in the morning. I tried topwater for a little while, but got no bites. I switched to a crankbait and finally got the skunk out with a dink down lake. The water was a good green color and not too clear. I caught 2 on the crank before seeing a couple local YouTubers fishing together. I had met one at the ramp, but did not know he was waiting for the other. I said hello and just as I was pulling away, hooked my first decent LM. One guy asked if I minded being filmed, so I might be in his video. It was maybe 1.5-2 pounds, but pulled hard. I caught it on a wacky rigged senko.
I continued down the main lake bank and caught a couple more on the crankbait and two more on the senko. I only got one picture of the second biggest fish with a belly.
The pattern for me was busting fish and drop-offs near shore. Ended up with 7 before the sun got high and the bite died. I should have thrown an underspin and shakey head worm, but did not think about it until it got hot and I decided to head back by 1:30pm. I ended up with 7 LM. I was glad to at least catch a few.

I made it on the video! You can watch the whole thing, but I am at 12:32. Too funny!

I know I am getting old when I don't "get" these YouTubers. People pay to watch that? Do they make $$ with ads?
Anyway, good to see John in the show!

I believe 1Rod1Reel is the most popular bass fishing Youtube channel. That guy definitely makes good money.

A well done documentary of the fishing in 48 states would be cool. There is a fella that took his son (after he graduated from HS) on a US fishing tour and fished every state in X days. He made a presentation at a fishing club meeting and it was great.

I would be interested in 48 states video.
But could I sit thru 5 hrs of video. ??
Still cool and I have YouTube on big screen TV at home. So maybe I will try it.
Good report..

Mike (1 Rod) is nice, but gets pretty annoying now. He used to be funny. SB Fishing (Matt) is a good guy who fishes most of the same local places I do. He fishes the Fountainhead tournaments with his brother. What he did fishing all of the states was a lot of work and he did a pretty good job of it. The time they spend editing is crazy. He is going back to finish Alaska and Hawaii.
