a couple of weeks after the bass opener
0:05
in southern Ontario good buddy Stephen
0:07
it's week II and I decided to a little
0:08
fishing Canada calm and a little fishing
0:10
Canada YouTube work and since the
0:12
forecast was dead flat and calm we
0:14
picked Lake Simcoe as our playground now
0:17
Lake Simcoe is a beast of a lake but
0:20
it's also full of beasts smallmouth bass
0:22
as well and these were obviously our
0:24
high hope targets as most of you know
0:25
though Smalley's can be ignorant almost
0:28
defiant little buggers and catching them
0:30
can be a chore might have myself my own
0:42
smiley that I wanted here yeah I do I
0:45
got my smiley in the shallow reeds look
0:49
at this look at the stuff this guy came
0:50
out of get a jump for sure give up he's
0:56
wasted him he got wrapped around a reed
0:57
so he put all his effort into that I got
0:59
lucky by using braided line I got lucky
1:02
in that he he didn't break off
1:05
everything like that's nice Momo this is
1:08
a good one for but this is what you can
1:10
typically find in the reeds along with
1:12
the largemouth bass is some really nice
1:16
momma bass you know they're your not
1:22
giant but I'll tell you what when I'm in

anchors and then I just watched him for
6:26
a while cast up to where it was you know

6:33
up where I thought he was gonna go he
6:35
