Kayak Fishing for Smallmouth Bass on Dale Hollow Lake
Спорт
I took a road trip to Dale Hollow Lake to compete in the B.A.S.S Nation kayak bass fishing tournament. I used a combination of gulp minnows and spro crank baits to catch some smallmouth and spotted bass. Fishing was tough but I pulled out a top 10 finish.

If there anyone I rather watch catch fish tell the truth it's u keep it up
Awesome crappies you should do a day of crappie fishing
That lake and scenery was beautiful. And the water was so blue. Fishing was a little slack but still entertaining. Thanks for the video
At least u placed and caught some fish better luck next time thanks for the video
I used to be a big time Fisherman, I had about 100 different Rods & Reels from big Catfish, down to different Ultralight. My Ultralights I used some for Perch, some for trout, some on other Pan fish, I realised something what ever kind of bait you are comfortable with, is what you use and you will catch more fish with that, because you are comfortable with it.
I live 5 minutes from willow Grove boat dock. I have a slip and go out on dale hollow every weekend. It's beautiful and one of the cleanest lakes in the U.S. but it can be tough to get bit sometimes.... and that Shimano slx is a amazing reel. I have one and love it!
The zing of that reel sounds cool the first few times, but I don't know if I could listen to it all day lol.

He's originally a catfish fisherman
Next time you got one of them tournaments on the big D I’ll hook you up. Live not far from it and spend 90% of my time on that pond
A good fisherman catches fish anywhere they go no matter what species. Great video during rough conditions. Congrats!
Beautiful rock bluffs. Nice looking fishing water.
Dale Hollow will test your patience, that's for sure.
Nice fishing J looks like a better day!!
Congratulations on getting in the state tournament .😊😊😁
Good job, Justin. Very enjoyable...Thanks.
Starting the morning off right!!!!
Very respectable finish!
We go to Dale Hollow every May and rent a house boat and catch monster bass and catfish. You should go with us next year!
That was a big ole magnolia crappie. Good tournament man. Great video
YIPPIE KAYAK CATFISH 👍🏻👍🏻

I love these tournaments! It's like we re all with you! Keep doing them! Plz
Awesome video! Love the tournament bass fishing video
Love those rock banks!
Stay positive. Awesome video Justin.
loved the video Justin!
Love the content man!
Your video make's my day Justin!!! Thank you for sharing man!! Looking forward to your next one, God Bless.
That was neat Justin thanks for sharing. Tight lines and Big Fish. Much peace and love from northeast Texas
Spro Rock Crawler 55 red bug man is the ticket for me in two middle TN lakes great video!
That was entertaining...awesome video...
Great finish buddy, Congrats of qualifying for the BIG state tournament. God Bless, and Best of Luck!!!!🤗👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good job man, way to hang in there.
Awesome Job on a top 10 finish man!!
As always great video man keep them lines tight great job
Awesome congrats on a top 10 finish! You just have to keep grinding and put your head down!
This lake is wale known you didn't do your home work. Every good fisherman do home work there still in school for every body of water. Hair jig with trailers are one bait used heavy on that lake to. Swimming jig work crayfish trailer and money maker crankbaits. Tips on crankbaits if you can get some that dive deeper for different depths. Over all you did a good job and you did the right thing going back to your money bait. I hope the weather and fish bit in your favor next tournament. Keep cracking never give up on yourself👍

Well known?? I don’t know why I don’t see your name on the leader boards on the elite series
Great job for an ole catfish guy. Congratulations buddy. Y’all put in the work for that one
Great job dude! Top 10 isn’t bad in that series.
Great job and congrats on top 10 finish, Justin! As much as I love your catfish videos, I do enjoy seeing you target other fish. Also love seeing those gulp minnows produce bites. They sure work well for me!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours sir!!
Love Watts Barr
Video just like visiting with you while fishing, enjoyed it.
I always have like a 1/8th ounce white roadrunner crappie spinner bait. Bass love them from my experience.
my heart sank when that one threw the gulp...... dang! still.......top 10....... congrats!
8:54 polly freaking positive thats a ThUmp
Great job bud. Enjoy the videos as always from Oklahoma.
I did enjoy it. Been a lot of years since I was fishing bass tournaments. I really got hooked for several years bass fishing and throwing those crank baits. It'll sure put a kink in your back and shoulders. Thanks for the trip. I'll have to remember to wear rain gear next time. Tight lines.
Yourself, Catfish Dave and Richard Gene make GOOD quality videos concerning the sport. Thank you. The money grab videos about fishing I won t share my list. But keep up the excellent work and stay true to ur self. Forget them haters.
Next time you should try a banjo minnow. I think it may be the only thing not mentioned as a recommendation in the comments, yet. I've wanted to visit Dale Hollow for years. Looks like some pretty water.
Yup. That rain got to us today. Man I haven't been fishing in 2 weeks. Having serious fish withdrawals
1st thing I thought when u said storms are coming is super active pre front fish!

you done good another chance to win the money 😂
TN smallmouth fishing is good there
For the money, that's the best Diawa spinning reel super smooth, getting one for Christmas, I think 😉
I think you did a great job considering it was a new body of water so great video and good job better luck next time brother
Gulp minnows work great but I've found big tube jigs in natural colouration for that clear water you got down there works great and you will always get an upgrade throwing those tubes bud. Love your videos bass fish bait chactch and me and my son always cant wait to watch the catfish fishing vids keep u the great content buddy
You have a good handle on the jigging technique, I know you love the Gulp Minnow but next time you go out out for practice or what not try throwing a 6-8" Pumpkin/Fire Tail Lizard. You don't get hit every cast but the average quality sized fish will increase. Start throwing Lizards and worms with your jigging ability you'll win most of these tournaments.
Pulling for you hoping you could have won but you still done good looking for a catfish video. Be safe take care man
You'll have to some day head to northern Ohio and catch some lake Erie small mouth Amateur like me, last time I went, caught fish most of the day avg 2 to 2 1/2 lbs. Biggest fish over 6 lbs to my buddy. Mine was little under 5 lbs. Pretty steady action. They fight like demons. Great video. Thanks. Peace ✌️
If you dont fish there alot its a hard lake to fish. We put it at sunset marina at fish from there
Monday Monsters
Justin, Show us those small jaws.( bait on any other day) . SlX sounds good! Good luck hope you place. Stay safe from the most corrupt State of Pennsylvania. God bless
As long as you were catching fish on tournament day!!
Oh never mind J on your rain suit lol
No worries y'all pull it out in May
That noise on the reel lol 😬😳😅
With that rod you’re using it makes a 13 inch fish seem like you’re fighting a horse!
Hey Justin is that a Jetson reel you're using ? Sounds spacey. Lol It's the challenge of your skills as a sportsman fisherman 👦🎣
New waters always Tough especially for a tourney , the weather has been my Biggest nemisis lately it is like a yoyo here and Rain with each front ,makes it tough on any Trip, not to mention my live bait shop shut down till Spring that didn't help things along at all, now it's drive the totally ass opposite direction for live bait and then Back to my spots ,,O Well we did what we must ,I have a bait bucket I made that keeps bait alive better than anything I've Seen so ,Drive for bait one morning and fish the afternoon,, OR drive for bait one afternoon and fish the next day ,that's the plan anyhow, even storming Norman didn't go to the desert without a plan lol 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🦈🎣 ,,Keep Ya Line Tight
Better luck in May! Still enjoyed the video🕷
I fish there alot, of you see a big camp, come by bunch of food lol
Why do you only have 86K subscribers? I just don't get it! Should be 100s of K. Great Videos!
great video, sorry about the big one. when cranking stick your rod in the water for more depth. also use med. action rods.stay safe.
Wish I could give 2 thumbs up, 1 4u and 1 4 the crappie
Vertical jig main lake rocky points yellow/ or white road runner.
If you dislike Justin's videos. Your mother heart reacts his catch selfies pics
Locator bait then the slower bait. You're learning
Justin on that lake to catch bass , smallies or large mouth , you must fish at least 30 ft deep,,,the more mature fish seem to hold at 36 feet of water
I was gonna start out with wacky rig worm set up
Good morning
The dip net threw me off lol,never seen ya use one.
Try keitech swimmbaits or tube jigs next time you will see better fish. I'm just trying to return the favor. You helped me catfishing
Lol, take a beatN, than crankBaitin...you and me both brother
Great finish, Justin. Congrats on qualifying fir another tournament. What was the winning number in your tournament?
i'd rather see a video with NO fish and your honesty as I would anything else. Just seeing someone go out and try is better than nothing at all. keep at it.
👍🏻👍🏻
I live in clay county where dale hollow is in tn that is
Looks like that kayak would pull a skier.
I love ripping smallies lips. Pound for pound one of hardest fighting fish.
👍👍
I know this is a older video but if you dont mind asking what rod/reel combo are u using.. I think i run a very close combo SLX-DC but i run a ugly stick because i kinda needed it to be a tough rod.
Lol u finished just behind Jax orr I been fishing against that kid for years he's good !
great job! I wonder, how many inches was the winner?
Hey J what kind of rain suit are you using & where could I get one?
Do you ever fish near Chickamauga lake
How do you get gulp minnow to last more than one bite? I gotta swap it out everytime I hook up.
Dale hollow mid April.
You still haven't commented on the golden whiskers...I was torn between you and river certified....lol
