WE GOT SHOT AT while trying to FISH! (POLICE CALLED)

welcome back to the channel everybody today me and my dad are waiting this creek and we're out in illinois today hopefully going after some smallmouth there's even a few rainbows in here so starting with all kinds of lures literally anything he's got a rooster tail on i'm going to try some of everything just to see what a bite hopefully we can get on some of these smallie jaws there you go you got the first smallie on the rooster tail [Music] sweet nice fish though yes first one is that off the bottom or what um no no i actually he was only about five feet out from where i'm at i guess they are in here maybe it's a rooster tail kind of day i put you that on there because you can get the rainbow trout on those too you can't catch rainbows typically on the bass livers yeah nothing's cooler than watching them eat your lure what do you think another bend or two and then we turn around because the main thing i was gonna try to do is go up no i'm pretty sure everybody goes up but i this canyon wall is so cool but who knows there could be what you got oh randy's hooked up with the second smallie of the day i'm still nothing big mouth billy bass i ain't a bad one he's gonna have he's okay that's second fish yeah there's not a lot of big ones in here but i have heard that there can be but typically the size i think is about 12 inches any time of the year as long as the water's down but i don't think you want it too down either all right you want to get a trout that's where you want to throw incredible canyon walls this place is beautiful it's our w dot he's got two smallies so far and i still got nothing you think we should stop and get some waters before we go on i'm already halfway done with my one so i probably should at least run back spot number one ended with two fish now we're gonna go upstream a bit and hopefully we get into some smallies that way got the rooster tail on now we'll see if we can get it done that's what my dad caught his two on so hopefully we can get one so there's one first smallie yippee first smallie is very small first small mouth just a little squeaker there he goes uh i already knew coming into this that the size was not really a thing but the numbers was what was supposed to be terrific i wouldn't say it's too bad so far three i think it'll get better as we go we'll figure it out more this was not like this last time it only went to the right it didn't go to that left there oh my gosh was it high this was insanely dangerous when we were here earlier i think it's just too shallow here we need to find some deep stuff way up there yeah there's one what do we got oh just a dinky little smallie holy smokes that is terrible hook placement i don't know if i snagged it or what right species wrong size second small mouth of the day is very very small second one boom catching up yeah but you're definitely beating me in size sonofa well i guess that's number three for him i gotta pick it up there's a good one oh yeah that might be the biggest one so far yeah that's a good one there we go that one pulled like a eight inch small mouth not the biggest they're getting a little better though off he goes finally starting to catch some fish now deep holes that's the key gotta find those deep holes and throw in there and work the bottom a lot of rocks in here so structure is a big one too biggest fish doesn't have to pay tolls on the way home there's one they are stacked up there that's number three from right there there we go oh so i'm standing right here see that boulder sticking out yeah yeah and i'm just throwing like right just check this out and i'm like super slow rolling it off the bottom there's a couple snags in there but if if you don't get the snags and you're slow rolling they're picking it up quite often both of these reels sound like garbage there's a big one oh you got to get up there paul oh he threw it on the jump that was pretty cool watching him jump though oh did you see that yeah i did snake i know barry because you'd never pick hell no i ain't touching those snakes i hate snakes they hate me [Music] look at that that is a swamp donkey well he went for it but i probably still didn't catch it so when i read this stuff about there's a lot of fish in here but the size might not be the greatest i thought it would be a touch bigger than that that's what five inches six five five at the max he's got some cool markings on his head should have got ultra light poles did you get one we definitely want to be on this side though because up there's the canyon walls and those rocks go below the water level yeah but that's i'm oh there's one what do we got nice smallie there we go ripping some lips dog are they big no but it'll work i'm just so happy to be able to catch them we drove a little over four hours for this fish right here that's a beast thirty dollars in fishing licenses eight hours in the car worth every bit there's one up there watch yourself there he is oh when you see ripples like that you got a pitch in there just in case you never know he took it though because basically that smallie is going nuts on them a little bait fish oh there's one that is a nice fish that's a really big smallie paul it's beautiful too oh man has he been caught before first nice small mouth of the day paul got one too you got to get in the frame dude it's okay to be close all righty big boy's going back this is probably a 14 inch smallie boom that's cool you can still see it swimming too going downstream wow okay so there's it there's a few nice ones in here all right back on that grind all i know is i don't have to pay the tolls that's all right that's all right i'll fill it because this was 100 my idea i do like fishing in the shade though that is nice i would say that this direction was much better idea than the other direction there's one another little small mouth i probably would have skipped over this spot if you wouldn't have stopped here yeah that's the plan maybe do that in april there's another little smallie there's a good one oh that is a good fish that is a nice bass nice smallie there we go oh no yeah that was probably another one that was around 13 14 inch range i can't believe these things are working sometimes you got to go back to the basics i guess these are the og lures that is a ginormous creek chub there were three of them going for it but i thought it was a small ear i hadn't not been wasting my time on them you know it's a big creek chub when you can lift the thing holy smokers there he goes best catch of the day never did fake up oh you did not you went under me you're good you gotta catch that fish where's your gun range that scared the crap out of me foreign well that's the first thing i guess well good luck there's no service that's probably why they're shooting guns and what are you gonna do shoot us well those gun shots i'm assuming we're the grumpy guy that came down here and told us to beat it so apparently you can own the river and he's calling the police so no big deal we're backing out anyways we're like two miles from the truck so hopefully the police meet us there we'll see it'll be good either way hey catching any uh a few it's a little slow but got any big ones really wow we even fished that be careful there's some clown up there shooting and screaming at people apparently we're trespassing if we're in the river he called the police or he said he was going to so far probably a mile probably no more there's a sign on a tree to the left we thought it said gun range but apparently it says like we'll shoot you if you come here so are people floating the river i don't know yeah good luck man there's a good one stay on stay on as soon as it hit the water slammed it there's a pretty little small mouth on our way back kind of right off that boulder out there another little smallie this through here seems to be a really really good spot what a hike man i think we're on a deer path yeah i was probably going to go down to like that bend maybe where that white water is and then we can turn around we've officially made it to spot number two been fishing for a little while now it's not going the greatest but that's all right um so the last spot the reason we left honestly was a little bit of both we were getting ready to turn around and then some guy came flying down in his polaris and flames are trespassing he's going to call the police or whatever i didn't know you could own a river and i believe you only owned one side even if you do on both sides i don't think you can own a river so i don't really understand what that's all about but he wanted to be difficult so that's fine we were getting ready to head out anyways we were two or three miles down the creek so we're gonna fish this for a few more minutes and then we're probably gonna start working our way out of here a lot of smallmouth today not a ton of size we did get two really nice ones but other than that it's been a little slow but that's okay been using a really simple technique today just using little white rooster tails i believe these are 1 6 ounce pretty small but it's good for these smallmouth you know some big ones and the little ones will eat them so that's why i like the rooster tails it's pretty easy pretty basic and works good spot number two not very good i think i had one bite but we're gonna head out now it's been a lot of fun out here caught some good fish make sure you subscribe to the channel uh we'll catch you on the next episode a lot of smallies today definitely gonna have to come back again maybe when it's not 95 degrees with three mile an hour wind so stay tuned and we'll catch you on the next one peace
