Fishing the New River for GIANT Smallmouth Bass | Smallmouth South vol. 1
Ойын-сауық
To find good smallmouth bass fishing, you don't have to travel North. World-class smallmouth fishing exists right here in the south. Our goal with this journey is to showcase the southern states as being some of the best places to find GIANT smallies.

Our family farm is only about 20 minutes from the New. Smallmouth is my passion but the New is world class for Walleye and Musky too. I sure hope there are wiley ol’ strains of mountain river bronzeback bass in Heaven too :)

Thanks dude! We gotta link up for some smallie action sometime.
Since I lived in the State of Tn my whole life. Smallies are way bigger than most people expect. My personal best is 6lb 9 oz and have a friend that caught one along time ago that is over 8 lbs good luck
Arguably the best fishing video on youtube for real. Straight CRUSHED IT! 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏼

Preciate it! Lots of hard work and dedication, and we don't plan on stopping.
Nice river guys... I'm a Smallmouth fisherman from Michigan. In warm weather I throw topwater almost exclusively, and get ready for the air show! Whopper Ploppers being my favorite!( Clear water, Pack Man 90 size, stained water Perch color). They are agressive and fiesty! Great day! Almost forgot... your farther south. Big ones up here are usually caught in the Fall/ early winter. They are bulking up for winter....get out there! They'll be busting up Shad and minnows in the shallows, throw your topwaters at them!

The new river has some pretty big small mouths than many people think, I say this because I grew up fishing miles and miles of this river. I live in Giles County about 20 min from the wv line. The fish he caught that he compared to only catching that big of fish up north is not accurate, this river holds some very nice Smallies. Not trying to sound like a ass lol. Thanks for the footage and glad y’all enjoyed your selfs. Keep on rippin lips 👌🏻

Just came upon the video, nice stuff. I've been to the New near NC/VA border, but barely got to fish it. I'm from PA and we have some awesome Smallie rivers, but there's something about those southern rivers that get my attention. Wondering what campground you stayed at?

We haven’t yet, but were definitely planning on expanding our smallie territory.
Amazing Video Gentlemen!
Some say like Largemouth, there are also different strains of smallmouth. I’m not a biologist and honestly don’t know. But, I think smallmouth fishing as far as size goes, the south is still king. From VA to KY, TN, AR to TX and everywhere in between. I think it’s just over shadowed by the largemouth fishing. Maybe I’m wrong. Either way, excellent video!

Dude that sounds awesome! Would love to make a trip out there.
Ive caught smallies over 2 1/2 pounds in creeks here in west virgina. Creeks that were 10 feet wide and knee deep. But im still chasing the one over 20 inches.
4* is the norm for that area. Not lying. Holler if you ever need to talk to a local.
This looks like Little River Dam, that right side is mud.
Nice vid. You guys should measure the smallies. Weigh if really big.

Yeah dude, insane how big they get down here.
Fishing in a river that routinuely produces 5 lbs smallmouth: "That's a GIANT smallmouth big, big, big for here." = 2 lbs. Proceed to catch an almost 5 lbser. You don't have to overhype the New. World class river.

The scenery is beautiful and so are the fish I just moved to Richmond VA a few years ago and been waiting to fish the New Rive for muskies. I fish the upper James river a lot and it looks just like the new river I think it runs into the James river. But if you want to catch a Smalley of a life time you should try the great lakes I lived in Cleveland Ohio most of my life and I have had days when I catch 60 plus Smalley's and most of them are 5 to 6 pounds a couple are pushing 7 pounds. When they are spawning you can catch one every cast with a live crawfish as bait. I have finished from NY to FL and the great lakes is the best place to get a trophy Smalley.

Live 15 minutes away for where you launched .
It's a misconception that large smallies can't be found in the south. The world record smallie was caught on the KY/TN border. I'm guessing the idea comes from anglers in the far south, where largemouth are the largest in the country, the smallies aren't very big and there are no other states to the south. So to these guys, yes you have to go north to find big smallies.
You look just like Owen Wilson
