I Found A NEW Lake That Was LOADED With Fish Everywhere (Clear Water Fishermans Paradise)
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the channel! Today, I'm super excited to share my first-ever fishing adventure at the beautiful Lake Catoma. Known for its clear waters and abundant fish population, Lake Catoma has been on my fishing bucket list for a while. Armed with my trusty crankbait, I set out to explore this new territory and see if I could land some bass. Join me as I navigate the lake, discover its hidden gems, and experience the thrill of hooking into bass for the very first time here.
In this video, I'll take you through my entire process-from selecting the perfect crankbait to finding the ideal spots where bass love to hang out. I'll share tips on how to effectively work your crankbait to trigger those aggressive strikes, and you'll see firsthand the excitement of reeling in some beautiful bass. Whether you're new to bass fishing or a seasoned pro looking for new waters to explore, this adventure at Lake Catoma is packed with insights and action. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fishing tips, techniques, and epic adventures. Let's hit the water and catch some big ones together!

Best UA-cam fisherman in my opinion!!!!!
Maan, when you stood up to check on that fish, your yak remote gave me a wtf moment. No way them shorts were that short lol.
Good work!
Sweet rig enjoy that thing
Larry is one of my favorite UA-cam fishermen
I have that same reel in my cart waiting for me to buy! Also it’s cool seeing the new kayak out in the water!
The Veritas is my favorite rods....too bad their $119 in my area
The people down there suck most of them anyway. They sit all day long just waiting to tell you can’t fish here. It’s not the gators it’s the people
Whats your opinion on the Revo SX vs the Max Pro?
@@Dbl_OG_13 Id spend the extra on the Revo Sx for sure 😂😂
It's a 4th gen SX. Not the new one unfortunately. But still the Revo looks solid to me
Im trying to get some opinions on the Max pro combo vs the Revo SX vendetta combo? One will be my next purchase. I'd just like to hear from actual anglers which they prefer
Great video let's go larry happy 4th of July
Cool thumbnail
I’m saving up to buy that carbon rod and this man chucks it 😂😂
What about a live q&a?
You should make stickers that say “Larry catches the biggest bass” that i can put on the back window of my car
Gotta let that weightless wacky rig sink a little longer before moving it and you’ll be golden
punch the grass to
if your going to pitch grass your missing the stumps and poles they lay on the shadow side of them to
love your videos #ladyoutdoors
Great video up size your weight and slow down a little, remember it's heavy cover. Change your hook wide gap.
LET"S GOOOO!!! Larry flips and the script and still catches BIG FISH!!! So glad to see you challenge yourself!!! That is why I first subscribed when I saw you try a new style of reel! You kept it real and gave a real opinion. Real sees Real! FOR REEL!!!
i’m with you on the pitching i don’t hold that lure in my hand period i feel that hook metal in my hand as i fling it no matter how i hold it screw that it ain’t worth it to me either that’s one ol school skill im ok wit not learning ill flip and pitch without having the hooks on my hand
great video Larry. perfect timing for me since i just picked up some tungsten weights to devote some time to work on flipping and punching this weekend too. its always humbling to test out something different. I agree with you on the unnecessary risk as far as holding the hook goes. i am too easily distracted and would definitely hook myself more than i'd hook the fish 😂
if i miss this shot i gotta cheat on my gf 😏😏
Braid is ideal for flipping heavy grass like that
ive only seen you on the bank, this is cool to see you on a yak
If you ever make ur way done to Kansas I know some fire coal mine strip pits with some giants that are private perfect to put ur kayak in pb caught out of there was 9 pounds
Bro why do you use those big J hooks instead of Gamakotsu I wide worm hooks? Just curious, it wouldn't tear your baits up as bad and the hook up would be be better.
Honestly that’s a good question. My reason is that’s what i’ve seen everyone else use. The thick J hooks are definitely better for the style of fishing since they are thicker.
Yo what pond
Privat3 Ponds , last time I looked $800-1000 for membership
@@AnAngryAngler dang
Great content......... would love to see you do speed worms and grubs
As soon as I heard the frogs I would have switched to frogs 😂😂
Flipping and punching are like a drug
Agreed!
When flipping look for holes and thinner spots in the vegetation. The little changes in the vegetation holds fish often. It allows them to sit under the thicker stuff and attack in those thinner spots or holes. Just like when frog fishing youre looking fir spots to pause the frog and get that blow up. Love flipping stuff but i dont do as much as i should anymore 😂.
Don't worry bro I don't have much luck on a wacky worm here in Central Alabama either lol. I use a weightless Texas rigging stick bait to catch them instead
Thank you for the tips sir!
Any tips for braid on baitcasters? I tried it recently and my reel just wasn't taking line. Once I switched back to monofilament it was smooth as butter.
On all my braid reels i’ll fill the spool a little more than 1/4 of the way with a cheap mono from Walmart. The mono backing will help the braid not to dig into itself.

Awesome, meeting you at the Bassmasters on Smith Lake. I was the one in the Googan American flag shirt and hat on Friday
@@IBenFishin you know your frail ass wouldn't say that in person.
Nice to meet you bro!
@@IBenFishinhow is saying "awesome meeting you" meat riding?
Larry let’s see another tournament but an easy one that u can win
Letsssssssssss gooooooo! Love the vids Larry!
Man i think ima try to find an old reel like this and take it to a place in Shreveport i know that can fix them like new.
Another thing. I'm for sure subbing. You didn't even have to catch a fish. Your not overly cocky. Your confident and you can tell you know a thing or two.
I had these as a kid. Then i got into the hobby and got a nice reel and wanted to pair it with a cherry wood. But my local bass pro stopped selling these and I thought the “lightning rod” was a new update/replacement so i went with that and had stuck with it for years. Just saw a cherrywood in Walmart today for the first time in years and was excited to see they are still around
awesome video
Bro thank you for the feed. I enjoyed watching your video.
Try the Camo Green Daiwa Samurai Fluorocarbon. Blends in with the water. GOOD STUFF! :)
I saw your on WWF. That’s how I discovered your channel. I like what I am seeing so far. Hope you have a crappie day! 😂
New fear unlocked!!!! Yea bro that would suck if any of the tree hit you it’s a wrap, then comes my other fear of being in the water and big fish with teeth looking at me like I’m a human bait
Don't have to be worried about being told to leave. I would rather be fishing in the mountains for trout. Like the farm pond , there's much better scenery. That's very much a part of it for me. Theres a old marble quarry i like the most when I bass fish. It's so old nature has completely took over. Fish and wildlife love it.
Is the new yak an Old Town also? I've got the AP 136 and like your yak videos. Is yours the 106 the 120 or the 136? All are awesome.
that intro kills me everytime ngl lol thanks for the video
I think I've been seeing you backstage at the elites. If not, you have a doppelganger. If that's you, 👊🏽💪🏾🔥, big ups young man.
