River bass fishing is one of my favorite ways to fish. Bass are usually shallow around cover and frog fishing and fishing a jig are primary techniques. In this winter fishing vlog, I’m joined by my friend Grant and our river largemouth bass fishing guide Carson. We are fishing the Colorado river located in central Texas. Carson’s jet engine bass boat is set up perfectly for fishing the shallow backwater areas that can’t be accessed by a traditional fiberglass bass boat. After a series of warm night, the water surface temps have arrived in the lower 60’s, making some of the bass start to move up into shallow backwater ponds to begin spawning. We are flipping jigs and casting chatterbaits and spinnerbaits around the banks and catching bass very shallow. Grant casts into an old pond an immediately gets a few bites. We cant access the pond by water, so Carson uses the aluminum jet boat to launch the boat into the other side of the pond. Once we get into the pond, you get some quality bites and end up catching a big bass on a topwater frog. It turn out it was the same largemouth bass that Grant had break his line just a few minutes earlier! We had to work for our bites which is typical for pre spawn bass fishing just before the start moving on beds, but we still caught some nice bass and saw some cool wildlife.
I fished this river is a kayak a few years back and it was work out!

deàpth 7 feet deeap
Watching in 2022, LFG!!! what happened? those little fishing nugget tips are awesome 👌
Lmao, front end from the back much??
17 or 18 foot boat?
Three years later and Grants still only posted one video lol
Can’t beat that. Nice fish and ya got your bait back. Lol
That grate slots not being straight is killing your power plus can let bigger rocks through there. I’ve seen em cause cavitation by being slightly bent which eats away at the impeller and pump body. Just lettin ya kno 👍
how long / wide is their boat?
Great video! Got here from the lunkers, demo video. I may have to go back and look at some earlier stuff of yours……..cool!
I want a jet boat now that’s so cool how it just drifted around corners
where is the jet in jet boat? thats an out board
Someone tell Grant to quit playing with himself
Straighten those intake fins! LOL
Thought I clicked on an episode of Bill Dance bloopers
I don't give recognition to fiberglass boats. Aluminum only. Once you see that fiberglass does a hole, and sinks on you, but aluminum bends in, and most often survives to keep you afloat, you start to appreciate aluminum made, and forgo fiberglass beauties
What’s that main knot you tie? Mainline to lure knot
Jet ski motor I am thinking same concept
Well damn I was going to click it for the pond hopping in the boat but then the swamp donkey to bad you can't punch the like twice
My wife has the fattest beaver ever!
What's the best boat
Do you always catch and release? Northern MN fisherman here we do alot of walleye fishing and man their yummy lol
The funny thing is that I was thinking. Now watch them catch the one that broke off. Great video.
You should have kept that crappie, they're good eating.
Bro I love your channel I watch it every day. My wife and I are headed to falcon lake in a Couple weeks, It will be end of feb first of march any suggestions LFG??????
LFG I really appreciate the little text tips at the bottom of the screen. Really helps for a beginner like me.
That was a nice crappie be some nice fillets out of that joker 🤪
what boat is that
Looks like a turbocharger and pretty much works very similar cool engine
I love how when a guy is in back of boat buy himself ,he always c cast toward the front of boat were two guys are trying to fish
This bud was bad ass!! Great vid
that was awesome, when I was a kid this guy was fishing at the lake near us a fish got his whole pole. about 15 min later my dad catches a 12 lb catfish. after getting it in he noticed another line, pulling it in revealed a rod and reel. unfortunately the guy had left already. But a couple weeks later we seen him again @ the lake and asked him about loosing his rod. he told us that what hurt the worst was it was a gift from his grandfather that passed. The look on his face was priceless when my dad handed him his rod back.
He should have bought a lotto ticket ASAP!
i fished that spot as a kid the best spot is the island that is right by the boat ramp.
any where shallow and flowing and with anything that rattles…. that is the trick in the colorado.
how old is grant
@1:36….dude replace or at least repair your intake grates!!! I know your boat will run as is, but it'll run so much better with those fixed and take a look at your impeller/liner while at it. Otherwise, Great video
Loe the Jetrig and the 1/2 credit fish!
dump site ?
my friend has a new g3 with a Yamaha jet motor not really impress. boat rocks around to much
I can't stand watching someone throw crappie back….I'd have put that slab crappie in the skillet
That was cool!
