- I visited 2 of my favorite spillways in this video. At the first I picked up where I left off last time catching monster double digit wipers. Then I moved over to a smaller spillway where I found some flatheads and a giant smallmouth bass.

That storm didn't scare away the fish. The giants you pull from that spillway are always so impressive.
Sometimes the thunderstorms really help the bite when the water is so low. Plenty of 10+ lbers in this spillway this year. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts! Thanks!
Great video as usual and a fantastic smallie! Also, you catch the biggest wipers I've ever seen! Looking forward to the next vid
Thanks, I appreciate that! The average size wiper down there this year has been great. I hope it continues but I also hope that a few smaller ones are still being stocked to replenish the population. Time will tell in the next few years. This smallie was a nice surprise. I catch a lot of 12-15 inchers down there but not too many big ones. This one was no 5 lb boundary waters beast but I'll still take it!
Great spillway times! Nothing like getting angry at yourself for not having the best setup. You just never know. Great content, as usual.
It's always better with friends! I'm always going back and forth on whether to use the lighter setup or not. It's so much fun when you are catching smaller fish but in this river if you use the fairy wand long enough you can be sure you are going to regret it! Thanks, I appreciate all your comments! I hope the fishing is going well up there!
Another great time! Keep the footage coming... I have to go through footage and post a video. That was a nice Smallie!!!
Thanks! I look forward to your video!
You are literally living my dream. Absolute giants every video 😳
It's been pretty crazy. I'm trying not to take it for granted because I know it won't last! I just hope all the big ones don't get taken. I've seen a lot of them on stringers lately so who knows if any will survive! Thanks for watching!
People just cant stand to have a good fishing spot. There really should be a slot limit@@BackroadsAngling
Wow 😭😍
I’ve caught numerous stripped bass over 30lbs in the Savannah River. At Clark’s Hill lake my uncle caught one 50+ when I was a teenager. The average size in our area is 5-15lbs all day and night. Great video and I subbed. 💪🏼 🎣
Those are nice stripers. These fish in the video are hybrids (white bass x striped bass) so they don't get that big. Our state record is 19 lbs. Thanks!
man i gotta get out in the morning and hope to run into you. been watching too dam long and need to fish and catch these monsters with ya
Yes one thing I know for sure is you won't catch any giants unless you get out there!
use swivel from braid to leader,buy yourself corkers ,strap on with carbite tips,you can walk any green rocks.
I like how sometimes you say "Its not big, its not that big" its crazy how the Average Wiper has gotten out of control this year. I barely fished this spring because of sports and school but this year is going to be different. Suprised the red hat guy didnt ask you for the fish 😂
You know the wiper fishing is going well when you think you have a 7-8 lber and you are a little bit disappointed. The average size down there is ridiculous. I have to remind myself not to get spoiled because any wiper is a treat whether it is a 3lber or a 13lber. With the intense pressure this spillway gets there could always come a time when the wipers become a lot more rare! Have to enjoy it while it lasts! I'm glad you guys were there - the other guy wasn't going to ask for fish with all of us there.
AGangling looks like a pretty cool dude. Seemed like he was expecting a hot bite. I’m guessing the rain killed it though 😢 seemed like AG was able to get one later on that other side. He posted it on his channel 13 lber
Yes, AG and Aaron were both fun to fish with that day. It wasn't as good as we had hoped (the day before the wipers were biting about every second cast) but bites like this don't last very long. Yes AG got one later in the day.
What month is this ?
Ive been fishing the river power and the dam but i dont think there are wipers here, maybe its the wrong time of the year?, there are white bass but ive not seen wipers, tons of walleye tho
There are wipers throughout the river system but the biggest ones I catch are at this spillway.
Ok until today I had never heard of a Wiper! What is it?
White bass X Striped bass
👋👌
That was a stud meanmouth. A spot x smallie hybrid
A lot of them downstream from macbride. Yours was one of the bigger ones I know of. Congrats on a cool fish
To me it looked like a pure smallmouth but sometimes the meanmouth vs. smallmouth is hard to tell so you could be right.
Red hat dude just keeps casting over you when you are hooked up, no fishing etiquette whatsoever. Lucky you got there first but then you have to deal with the knuckleheads.
The day before this it was just him and I. He tangled me up on one of his first casts and a few more times after that. I had to take a few deep breaths and think happy thoughts.
