Quest For A 18 lb. Bass (New Fl. State Record)

I'm captain CC Cory come with me and experience some of the most action-packed and gentle infilled vision that north and northeast florida has to offer we fish for everything from huge bass and freshwater to monster tarpon and saltwater and everything in between if you like seeing awesome jumps if you like the sound of a screaming drag [Music] if you like seeing big fish well you just might have found your channel so sit back relax if you can and let's see what we can hook into today with the North Florida angle hey guys Cici quarry here in north Florida angler this videos gonna be a little different from something to other ones you've seen me do you guys are going on a journey with me a quest if you will a quest to try to catch the next florida state record largemouth bass now the current state record is listed at seventeen point two seven pounds which means I need to go ahead and catch an 18 pounder now that's a big fish brought in my boat over the years but nothing close to a state record but I've never really seriously tried to catch one either not until now now I've done some research and I found four bodies of water not more than a couple hours drive from my house that have all produced bass weighing over 16 pounds and one of them actually produced a bass that weight over 18 pounds on certified scales now why this fish isn't listed as a current state record I don't know maybe the fishermen didn't fill out the proper paperwork or maybe didn't get a biologist witnesses but I don't know if I catch a fish that big or close to it I'll get ten by oh just a witness if I have to anyway what I'm going to do guys is my game plan I'm a fish one whole week and I'm going to fish on these four places I'm going to use the largest wild shiners I can find I'm going to use my electronics and my experience to locate the best spots on my chosen water of the day and I will set up shop I'm gonna be patient and we'll put in some time and I'm not going to move around very much even though it may be tempting I feel like this is what's going to take to catch one of these super bass now I'm not going to show you guys every fish I catch otherwise the video would just be way too long so I'm going to edit it down I'm basically just gonna show you the highlights from each day and then do a little recap at the end now I know it may be pie in the sky thinking on my part and I know the odds are gonna be heavily stacked against me but I feel like I got as good as chance as anybody to catch the next state record bass so y'all come with me let's see we catch that 18 pounder it's not that big a fish but it's fish they get tangled in the other one nope small fish a small one guys not what I'm after alright guys one about a pound and a half right there I'm gonna go ahead and chill you back alright guys I got a run let's see if I can get him I feel small small bass all bass of the big appetite that small person a big effort yeah we're gonna fly a shiner II went after guys alright guys another one probably be about pound a half or so I'm go ahead and chunk him back alright guys I gotta run see if I can get him [Music] small basket eyes on the Chunkin back well guys I had a pretty slow day today I only caught five bass and they were nothing to write home about I think the biggest thing I had was maybe a pound I have four two pounds I mean it was a pretty piss-poor day and I don't think I even had a bite from a big fish or even a decent fish and so what we're going to do guys is we're gonna go somewhere else tomorrow we're gonna go to another Lake and I don't think I'm coming back to this lake again on this on this this trip so anyway we will see you guys in the morning alright guys gotta run see if I hook [Music] another small another little bass I'm up here little rascal another little one guys better pound you grab it again here's my little guy all right little one guys about a pound and a half or so back you guys so far it's been day of the small fish all right guys I gotta run see you ain't getting no same size by the same size darn it a little bigger at first just make awesome look small one guy's been a pound and a half I'm gonna check him back well guys it was another slow day I did catch a few more fish today I ended up catching and I think it was eight or nine bass but again they were all tiny fish I think the biggest thing I had again was probably maybe two pounds and no big fish bites I also had a lot of missed hook sets a lot of whiffs and I think what that was is just real small bass from about a pound pound a half probably trying to eat these lords or shiners that I've got and they just couldn't get them all the way in their mouth but it was a long drive to get to this lake and I'm not coming back here again not on this trip so tomorrow we're gonna do something different we're going to fish some moving water we're gonna go fish a tributary off the st.

that were in like 2 to 3 pound class you know they look they were a little Butterball's and it ended up with some quality fish - I got a couple of fish over 5 pounds think I caught one over 6 and I think the biggest one weights 7 pounds 11 ounces if I'm not mistaken but I just don't feel like there's anything here to challenge state record there might be maybe some eight and ten pounders in here you know if I fished it really hard but that's not what I'm after I want something a lot bigger than that but we may come back here again on this trip but but my game plan is to go to another lake tomorrow so again we will see you guys in the morning alright guys I got everyone let me say been getting pretty good whatever it is pretty darn good fighting pretty darn good might be a good one guys

fish too it gave me a good fight yeah all right there she goes well guys I ended up with nine bass today with the biggest one weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces and normally I'd be pretty happy but I'm not and I think you know why I lost a big one now I don't think this fish would have challenged the state record but I do believe it would have been into 12 to 13 pound class that's how big I think it was definitely the largest fish I've hooked this week so guess where I'm going back to yep I'm gonna go back to that same spot and I don't know if I can get that fish to hit again but even if he doesn't hit there might be another one there and it's a lot bigger and that's what I'm hoping for so we'll see you guys in the morning Wow I just had a big giant blow up guys on this shiner look like a really

fish one whole week straight but I've decided I'm gonna call it quits after five long days all those hours on the road driving and even longer hours on the water fishing and all kinds of weather conditions has just warmed my butt out I'm not gonna give up I've decided I'm gonna take one week off every year just to fish for that giant monster bass and maybe just maybe I'll get lucky and catch that 18-pounder I hope y'all enjoyed this video and don't forget to subscribe to the North Florida angler until next time tight lines good fishing we'll see you out in the water [Music] [Applause]
