I was bass fishing on a fall day in Texas when a school of hybrid striped bass started schooling on big shad at the water surface. I used a River2Sea Rover topwater lure to make long casts and walk the bait side to side. It has a big profile and loud rattles to attaches the fish in open water situations like this. If you are new to topwater fishing, watch my rod tip to see how to make the lure walk side to side. The hybrids were huge! These are the biggest hybrid bass I have ever caught. They were blowing up on my topwater bait so hard that it darn near scary. After landing a few fish, my fishing hooks were destroyed and I had to retire that lure for the day. Catching those hybrid bass on topwater was short lived but it was a lot of fun. Except when one decided to put a treble hook in my leg…

His old vids used to be good and educational

Before googans> after googans
Man thats so freaking awesome man
I wish he would do more like this after his tumor surgery
Man I wish the lakes up here in Indiana were filled like that… No wonder all the FishTubers are in the South… Enjoy it LFG… Envious up here…
People don't usually keep these cause they claim the bloodline makes the fish taste too strong. Personally i love wipers. You can tell by the full body and muscles of these fish that its good eating. These fish always seem so clean too especially cause they love running water. The environment a fish prefers usually can predict what the fish will taste like that's why i NEVER eat largemouth. Largemouth tend to live in muddy standing water and i always assumed they would taste like pond… Sure enough they did… Ill stick to wipers, whites, walleye, and the occasional bluegill/panfish.
That's the right fishing manners catch an release jus maybe keep 1or 2 very fun
fished for schooling hybrids one day and had to buy replacement trebbles for all my rat l traps next day. And got a treble past the barb that went into the webbing between my forefinger and thumb. Worth it!
Love the video. I'm gonna try some topwater for hybrids this summer. I been burning them up on jigs here lately. They are a blast to catch, for sure!!

what pound line you used??
do you use straight braid when you fish spooks?
what kind of line do you use when fishing spooks?
great vid man! I love catching those hybrids. Check my profile pic for my trophy hybrid.
Beautiful fish
Nice vid. I go stripper fishing a lot. Get yourself a small pair of pistol lip grips and you will never get stuck again. These fish are mean I think they try and do it
that looks like soooooooooo much fun! good for ya!
More videos like this please.
I prefer hybrid than largemouth. more fight
used to love to get into a big group of hybrids while trolling for walleye!! they are a hard fighting fish
I live in flower mound also
I am a subscriber and was wondering how to send you a letter
what does it take, how do you start becoming a pro fisherman??
oh man that looks awesome
great video, any tips on fishing heavy heavy lily pads in shallow water, about 3 feet. Anyone?
"Ah fuck don't move please" haha
about time u went for these
Did you decide to keep the boat?
I've caught those all summer long ..but not as big as those..wow!! 🙂
Pliers???
No fish tacos? 🙁
I love hybrids and stripers. even better than largemouth fishing!
Lfg what is your favorite all time lure
Awesome Fish!! Watch out for the treble hooks….ouch!!!
What's the color profile on the lure?
What rod and reel are you using?
That's insane! Insanely fun
There mean!! I had one last year come up on a heddon spook and missed it but I kept it going and he came back hit again it was the best topwater bite I've ever had, it weighed close to 6lb then caught my PB this year on a big zoom soft swimbait and he beat me up bad lol my buddy went down and got him after he pulled drag thrashing, it was 10lb I could only imagine people that's hooked them 25 and 30lb that's just insane on a regular bass setup.
You should do more videos like this with different species mix it up
are those bass or stripper?
Hey lfg, or anyone in the comments, do you guys know how the durability is on the new Curado i?
what lake were you on?
wish the video was longer
I never lip those.
I agree with you. 3 treble hooks are my worst enemy
Most of the time if you let the bait sit for a second and let the ripples go away you will get a strike then because it's imitating a dead/injured shad!
man that looks real fun
Did you just drop the F-bomb and the GD????? At 0:41
