This is what summer bass fishing is really like for Realistic Fishing! Its still hot outside and while the bass are somewhat active, I wouldn’t all it a sure thing. I am able to catch a nice largemouth bass early in the morning on a Texas Rig. Then another small bass, a few hours later on a tiny swimbait. After waiting out the hottest part of the day, I go back out that night. Unfortunately I can’t find any more bass. However I have new line on my reel again, so that’s good. What is bass fishing really like in the summer? It’s a challenge! #fishing #realistic

Its too dang hot out…
Good looking bass to start off Alex!!!! I'm still dealing with severe anxiety issues and attacks and haven't been fishing or posted any videos in a month unfortunately

Little Bass was so cute. No weeds is a blessing.
Somebody came along and cleaned up the weeds
Sup Alex, yea dig days of summer.. any bass is blessed lol. Love chigger craw. Nice bass. We noticed notice weeds and lillypads disappearing too in RI? Crazy. Second bass cute lol. Have to change my line too. Only place we catch good is private club pond nobody really fishes.. maybe time do day at your club pond? So hot can't hurt lol. Tyvm tc
Your local directory probably sprayed for weed control,possibly.
2 fish better than no fish ! Great video my friend ! Stay safe!
Saw your last video on you using the baby brush hog I went out and couldn’t find any at my local sporting store but found trench hawgs. Man let me tell you I have had the most luck ever since buying those! In the matter of about 4ish hours I was able to get 5 bass. Most I’ve ever caught in one day. Crazy that just by watching your videos gave me confidence to go out and try new ways to fish, before this for me was the ol bobber and worm technique
Yesterday was kinda slow too at a new spot, but the suspense actually killed it. Got a really noice bass (not a new PB by all means) on a dropshot for about 30-40 minutes of casting. I had to reset up my Dropshot rig before that, due to a big fish breaking off the previous setup.
Awesome awesome job my friend Alex

at least u caught something…been slow for me this year here in N.H. but keep on fishin
As I've said before, that heat is no joke and very realistic! Be glad when it starts to cool some. Keep after em Alex! Thank you!
Keep up the great videos Alex. God bless buddy.
That little swimbait from temu is starting to produce like the gulp minnow.
The patented lucky/unlucky spot haha KIR!!!
Nice Fish Alex. I had my first birdnest this spring that was a delight trying to get out. Thanks for a great videos
Too hot out there ! I liked the "micro-bass" . If the viewers paid close attention, the coloration and markings were beautiful ! Keep it Realistic ! Pap Blevins
Dog days of summer bass fishing.
I went bass fishing this evening after work at a local pond in WV. Absolutely nothing. Couldn't even see a bass. I'm stuck at 96 for the year. Glad that you are catching¡ KIR!
Petition to get the dock mowed at skeletor park.
I hadn't been out much over the last month because of work and the weather. It had been stupid hot, humid, and the water was down because there hadn't been tons of rain. Then that hurricane sent a ton of storms up here. I was out fishing in the rain with my trusty raincoat and the fish were actually hitting a bit. I missed a gigantic pickerel and landed a few bass (~2 lbs), a few brown bullheads, a crappie, walleye, and ended the day foul hooking a 20 lb carp in the tail that absolutely killed my wrists. It beats a quiet day in the blistering heat though. This is probably the best it'll be for the rest of the year though so I can't complain. I was hoping you'd wind up landing something bigger later in the day. Maybe next time. It would have been hard to upstage that little monster micro bass you got. Lucky it didn't spool you haha.
Lucky spot! Keep it Realistic!
It's not size of the fish it's the fight in the fish
Like your technique of punching the hook out of the fishes mouth
. I'd end up at the emergency room. Keeping it realistic!
Your two fish were two more than I caught today. You can't win them all
Sometimes Summer fishing can be like drinking water, either from an eye dropper, or a fire hose, Hahaha.
Nice video
It's trying to get cooler. The nights are nice so maybe Fall will be early?
Hey, at least you got 1 good bass. Like it says, that's what summer fishing is like….Keep it Realistic!
I was looking through your playlists and I was just wondering, how is BRO Manson lately?
That weed mystery has me stumped. Very strange it went from clogged to nothing in a few days.
Love the video. Thank you for the fishing.
When you get hung up, if you pull your line just above the reel and release it like a bow and arrow sometimes it will pop it right out with the recoil. Nice vid as always! Keep it realistic!
Nice bass at Lucky/Unlucky, and good ole Skeletor delivered the micro-bass. I really admire your perseverance on a hot summer day Alex!
Wild fires out here in Oregon are no joke. had one near my home lake that shut it down for 5 days.. It truly is the dog days of summer for sure! Keep it up man. Still good stuff to watch, even if you don't catch much!
Thanks for always KIR!
Taking the yak out first thing tomorrow with a buddy… Hopefully ill get something if not, floating around will be a good start to the week!
Stay cool and beat the heat!
Fishing the heat
socks but you did catch some
Good video Alex
You still caught two for the day, not skunked. Keep it realistic, lol!!!
Good job Alex



Yeah the fishing is tough. I got no fish last week because the water was flooded, I hope this week will be different.
For a hot summer day, ya did pretty good there Alex. Keep It Realistic!!?
Definitely hot out my brother but still a good day for you and us viewers! Thanks for keeping it realistic!
Cool today, not a bite except for green sunnys
Great video Alex!
Hopefully, in a few years, that micro bass will have grown into a 3+ pounder and you will make him famous again
