Fishing the low light hours for three days, there was too many topwater bites to film. These are some of the strikes that were caught on camera, including a 9lber being caught.
Walking baits rigged on 15lb LFT Powersilk mono line and my favorite topwater rod, a Dobyns Champion 704CB were used to land all these bass. Walking the bait at a medium to slow retrieve was the best for triggering the big strikes.
Rocking the Bass King clothes..
Great vid
Love Topwater
Looked like he was fishing a Luck Craft Sammy
Awesome video brother!
I like ur channel a lot. I learn more and more on every video u make. Thx.
wow that looks like fun
Pulls up a 5 pounder throws it back right away that's crazy lol
Nice fish big guy, just wondering what kind of top water bait you were using
I want to fish with you……
Where is the best spot on lake fork?
Nice man I like you adventures and some time I will catch ah Guadeloupe bass
OMG. Total monster slobs. This must be the south. No large mouth like that in NY lol
what kind of tip do you use on your topwater rod
I'm jealous of the southern fishing guys, what you might catch every week we consider trophy fish up in New England with 10 pounders being like the holy grail.Â
hey I m coming down to fork second week of april what should I bring tackle wise
cant say ive ever caught a bass on top water. i really want to get into it, but being cold right now i cant get any action.
@ Brandon Sor – I fish Fork quite a bit. I live right here on the lake. I have the best luck with topwaters in late evenings in the summer months. My lure of choice is always a chartreuse and red Skipjack, which unfortunately, is no longer made. I bought a case of them back in the 80's because I have had, and continue to have such great luck with them. Cast near or next to cover, let the rings from where it lands ripple out until you can't see them any more. Usually about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Pop the lure one time in about a 6" movement. Any nearby fish will be watching it at this point. Do another 3-4" pop or slow reel and chances are you'll get a strike. Calm smooth water is easier and best to fish topwaters. It's basically a matter of making your lure appear to be a natural bait, triggering an instinct strike from the bass. If you're fishing from a boat, try to position yourself to where you can cast parallel to the bank in about 4-6' of water. That way you can cover more of the strike zone.
Hey justin, I was just wondering when is the best time to use a topwater? I have never caught a bass on topwater and would really like to experience the excitement of the strike. Maybe a tips video or some pointers? Thanks
Very nice video. Incredible setting. What State is this?
Awesome!
What rod length and action were you using?
bass at 2:40 was f'ing big :d nice catch

Do I win something for being your 11,500 subscriber jk lol
Looking at my videos! 🙂
I thought the second fish was going to be the 9 pounder and that you tried to flip it in. LOL
Hey bud I watch a lot of your videos. What do u fish with the most? Do you use Lake Fork Lures also what do you use? Thanks having problems finding them in ponds here in SC.
MUSIC RUINED THIS!
So much for the "ROCK CONCERT"…………. I learned absolutely nothing !
I did not see him mishandle a fish at any point in the video. Lakeforkguy is actually very professional in the way he handles fish, setting them back in the water and reviving them before letting them go. Minimal time out of the water, he knows what hes doing.
you should try a quantum pt energy
For all of you wondering its a strike king sexy dawg or sexy dawg jr. made by kvd
I was here last week and caught a 7.3 on a deep diver. Used a strike king sexy shad.
Does Dobyns give you rods for free or is it just a discount?
Toolgirly462 you need to back off ok. I understand treating the fish with respect but I would guess due to your comment below u fish with gaff hooks so imagine how much more that hurts the fish so please don't try to troll or point out every little detail thx. Tight lines justin
i have that same lure dont have much luck with it though
You fish Little Caney a lot?
nice boat!
What lure were you using?
Hey Lakeforkguy. I was really wondering what is a good shallow running crankbait rod? Or a crankbait rod in general? I'm confused on which brand and action to buy. Like Medium or Medium Heavy. Just don't know. Any feed back would be perfect!
Awesome!! Subbed
Wish there was a lake like that around here… :/
@mainemadelurez The line and rod are the most important on top water. I use 15lb mono(LFT powersilk) and a 7 foot medium action rod(Dobyns 704 CB) on most mid sized top water baits
What Rod Reel and Line do you use? Please reply I subbed!
It's called a mute button you TOOL! Don't you have anything better to do than to leave negative feedback on someone else's video? This guy has posted dozens of videos for the rest of us to enjoy… how many have you posted… ZERO! Nuff said… shut your mouth.
Thanks again LakeForkGuy for the great vids! The rest of us appreciate them!
Nice fish man!!
This video would have been so much better without that stupid music. It was supposed to be a video about catching bass, not how to bore your audience with crappy music. Good -Bye.
What action was that rod?
