TOPWATER HEAVEN?! Instant Action In Bass Fishing Tournament At My Favorite Lake
Спорт
Check out Above The Water Clothing - bit.ly/abovethewaterclothing
Billy Baits and I decided to go fish a Saturday tournament down on Chickahominy Lake outside of Richmond. It’s one of my favorite lakes in the state because of the cypress trees, grass, and big fish. We hadn’t fished there since Spring but we figured we’d send it down and try to put a bag together.
It rained the majority of the day, but it definitely had the fish biting. We decided to run up into the river section to fish in the current and instantly got on fish. BIG thanks to Billy for having me on the boat, and I’m stoked on the outcome of the day.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you leave a thumbs up and hit that subscribe button!
This week I’m going to try and get the new kayak out for the first time, do a review on lithium batteries vs deep cycle batteries, and Dennis and I have the musky in the mountains tournament next weekend! Hope you’re looking forward to the content.

Great video! Usually when the bite goes away, I usually change up the baits and it seems in my experiences to do better for me than sticking with what stopped getting bit. Keep it up brother!

Hey bud, another entertaining video! Always fun to fish a lake you don't get to fish often. As for what I do when they turn off the way they did and by the look of the water depth and the cover,grass, I would have went to a Senko or the old stand by the Zoom Trick Worm. And I would have fished it Tx rigged for both. It's worked from up in Indiana all the way to Lake Toho. Just my 35 plus years of experience. Anyways keep it up buddy, you are one of the few I watch on youtube. Tight lines and Semper Fi.

I mean, you 2 fish well together and really communicate... esp tactics/techniques and on the "switch". It's real man and absolutely love it! Be Safe

Finally your fishing down in my neck of the woods. There is a lake in Va I would really like to take you too. Not sure you have ever fished this lake but every time I’ve fished it I’ve caught one over 3 pounds. The best day I caught 2 over 5 and one just under 4. It’s near Buggs Island lake your old stomping grounds. Another great video as always.
