    The skipjack are biting at Old Hickory Lake right now. It's so bizarre that I know that considering I've never fished in TN lol. Realistic Fishing just caught a couple there on a 2 inch jerkbait today.

      Especially when they're hitting, hard, fast, and furious! I've caught some fish in my lifetime that struck so hard and fast, and that seemingly came out of nowhere, that it's a good thing that I have a Strong Heart! Otherwise, I'd of probably about keeled over dead from the shock of it all! 😵😀😀😀

    What a life, but I do realize there’s a lot of work involved churning out these videos...and you obviously take it seriously, seems like you have a new one out every other day.. that’s a lot of dedication.
    ...I appreciate you brother and God bless...

    You and your sour candy!😀😀😀 Looks like you're definitely having fun. That one Largemouth Bass that you caught about 2/3rds of the way through this video, the one you said was hitting weird, fought and jumped around like a Smallmouth Bass! I thought that that was what you caught, until I saw that it was, indeed, a Largemouth Bass. Great video, as always. You DEFINITELY put up a great Bible Verse! People tend to forget who is in control of this whole she-bang, that being GOD! Not one jot or tittle of his WORD will ever pass away. It is ETERNAL!!! God bless you, and have a great day!

    Suggestion, try Fishing a wide gap EWG HOOK, 2/0 fish your hellagamitte weedless . Add a 1/16 oz bullet weight, with or without a bomber stoper(Texas rig) it will improve hook ups and a lot less sagging . You won’t have to rig your bait sideways.
