gerald you know the great thing about being here at Wilson Lake is neither G or I have been here in over ten years we're really going to be fishing the moment today and because of that I'm bringing a lot of stuff I'd like my boat today I'm a writer so I'm trying to bring a little bit of everything spinnerbaits casting rods spinning rods got all my tackle of course and my little trusty bags but if there was one more I'm gonna guess one more that's gonna really really work today it's gonna be a spinnerbait it's gonna be this little mullux spinnerbait it's cloudy it's windy there's rain coming and it's fall and fall means bass eating bait [Music] that feeling about us get a feeling about a spinnerbait death pretty sure [Music] here's gentles he's already over 30 minutes late he said what's the name of the ramp again come on J rolling in to Wilson like on an October rainy day to pick up my co-anchor my co-host and y'all know him is Mike Iaconelli and I know that's crazy look at this is there's nasty here's the good news rain for days and that doesn't mean green fish that major green right listen do we hardly ever get a chance to fish together even if it's an hour today I'm so stoked to be your specular let's take it but I won't be honest with you there's like 19 rods to Ike bags and they all got treble hooks all treble hooks am I the worst going ever ever this is this whole number 51 of the BFL has just arrived I gotta admit I'm a bad color we've all had them but I'm probably the worst right here today geez seriously this is a lake that we've fished a lot in the past in the past but we haven't fished it recently no I mean we member back in the day when Menendez blew it out up here jerking in the world but we don't have many events here and the few that we have have on pit Whitten I try to run up here that never works out yeah so today we're gonna try the waters up you know everybody says it's tough but we may crack the code I like it dude I have a saint called fish the moment you do it better than anybody I know even if we have two hours is there a chance we can figure something out oh yeah we'll figure something out we call scramblers all right me and you scram [Music] [Applause] donal goes all the way up and all the way yeah no I'm just if you have one gear why has every co-angler officials got my boat looks very scared my job with that I'm just saying I'm telling you a form of asking for a friend then you ever just put it in medium gear is there me but I thought it was back my man to your microwave you're either off our 400 and cooking already tim horton's up here somewhere your hometown town Timmy and get you a lecture you can't catch you on your first calf go ahead you catch on my first kid I kinda ruined this day I ain't dying here I like a bite hey hey we're learning something Wow Oh God yeah so we just ate right there go somewhere are you familiar with Wis comfort zone go to the creek you know the shad are migrating in the creek somewhere it's been hot but in here somewhere we'll find them so hey it's simple starting to back we'll work our way out when we get bites we'll look at each other said this is where that we've seen a little deeper grass we're seeing some bait back here yeah but we're looking for bait oh you look far to fall bate bate bate keywords he were in the fall baby without a fishing bait back here you got baits that look like babe you find yourself in the fall night fishing shallow enough yeah I did I catch myself and then you like make sure you just keep going back keep going back fall fishing meets fun dude okay it's usually that struggle I enjoy it keeps you on your game yeah my colorway feeling let's see here I'm thinking like disco shad I love me some disco oh my G that's a good color who might that original lover something like that ah it was the original maker that color right it's an old Norman or something alright was it an old normal old Bagley's on that one I can't remember I might have been a bag it was a bagless if that was a bass that it's a good one yeah it's kind of we need look at that water going back in watch this doc it's that grass what the hell is backing it up and dumping more in there backing it up so mmm she's rising so I touched that Bank grass was looking at maybe yeah water is there so they're backing up their back I'm feeling it yep yeah should push him not on back up talk real quick sure you talk a little about that because this is this is a TV a lake right and that that like ultimately controls a lot of stuff and what makes Wilson different the rest them is it smaller and it's sandwiched in between wheeler and pit week so when they if they need to fluctuate the to the big brothers they can start dumping than end up around the Wilson and it'll start backing in like this just real quickly and then two or three hours it may be going back out but at TVA's controller they're moving water on the big lakes which really can't control this one and they do have charts that you can call and all this and look at and but no mistake about it when you put the boat in you better be watching because they'll change the water flow and it does triggering the by yeah I just hold on it feels good look at that look at that there got a bowl of boiling water get him get him get him come on swim bait they're gonna buy something dude I just God I just wear my jig their attitude you see that wall I'm telling you dude what do you got - what is that turtle what you got turtle soup no that's a big bass that's a big turtle what that's

the supersonic and apart and here we are this is unbelievable man if this isn't if this isn't a lesson in fishing today look what happened man watch the tape keep working keep changing do we went through we went through seven or eight different deals caught a few but then when you finally figure it out there it's like magic the other thing don't be afraid of this heavy current I swear when G pulled up I'm like this ain't gonna catch anything here it's it's ripping too fast but there's current brakes that's the key to this spot dude banging that crank bait down there then rocks are providing little dead spots behind them they're feeding on shad imitate the shed get some nice brown ones Wow yes and no Gatsby double Gatsby fishing a little rock pile here if you looked at watercolors dirtier oh geez using a dt 6 and this go shad I got a DD 6 mu by Karen catches some fish look at that thing gee this has been this has been the longest day we had a lot of down moments but in the last couple hours we turn it around turn it around Oh watch it watch it and the small mouth on a spinner back you get that dude it has been a grind it's been a gun I mean that's junk fishing 101 and we've had we thought we had it figured out fell on her face false positive false positive a couple of times riding some bluffs sort of a false positive keep grinding gotten some dirtier water got near some current and some rock and and figured a little deal out I like it I like it too small map on the trailer hook I'm on the trailer hook tell you how good right there Maalik spinner bait on the trailer huh dude what a what a nice save you mentioned talked a little bit about there's more of these days than there are then there are good days I think it is in my whole career I seen I find myself in a survival mode with a lot more than that attack winning mode and I think that's what people misunderstand yeah they see you make a comeback or see myself catching them out man they catch me all the time there's a lot of times you're just surviving yeah from the start to finish you're you're scrambling and scrambling and you get a little figured like it's something here or something there and then it falls apart with your constant like it's almost like a heart meter all day long and to me that's what fish has always been yeah is who can survive the roughest days and this would have been one it was raining we talked about it on the phone text this morning it's gonna pour all day and you know dude we don't get the fish together much let's try it we and neither one that's been here yeah and we just kind of scrounging scrounge to scrounge and then you caught that big one yeah we realizing without a backup you caught a melon I'm like and here you go that's just how easy you could turn it around but it'll been real easy to go home yeah yeah you want to do that yeah it's a good we talked about it in the fall when things are tough keep changing keep grinding Gerald's one the best
