Billy is a legend. I live 30 min from Dale Hollow. Wish he had caught the world record smallie he tried so hard to get. There is a story I heard years ago, may not be true, that he hooked up and lost a smallie he was certain was world record. He would know, since he caught several close to the record and two or three that were top ten Smalls on record.

the opening though. i caught that on a plastic worm.. its a plastic crawdad imitation... wtf. though he is dead right. plastic worms catch fish. even in the most high pressured hard to catch lakes. this video is good he explains exactly how i fish which i learned from mainly fishing this way. dropshot, wacky weightless or on drop, and texas but with texaposed. i do my texas weightless though. and instead of reeling it in fast when you think there is no fish. i just take it slow all the way in. it has two advantages. you catch more fish. but also it helps expose the fish you cant see when they chase it but dont bite it all the way to the banks. then maybe you can downsize your bait and go for that fish or maybe even upsize. i think light line is also better at exposing big fish because when you catch the small ones you have to play them a little in the water and the action the little bass make trying to fight will make the bigger fish in area become more aggressive. though the bigs are hard to catch even when you know they are there and can even see them.

And the good thing about worms bass don’t remember the bait so you can catch them again on the same thing. Say you catch 12 bass on a crank bait the bass you caught probably won’t eat that bait for a couple days to a week.
