Big Old Yellow Dog Bass Fishing

While fishing with Rick in the Old Town PDL Kayaks, I was casting a weightless soft plastic Burner Worm up to the shore. I was then reeling it back across the dollar pad mats in the hope of catching bass. I saw a small window through some overhanging tree branches that I was absolutely certain had a bass or two at the back of it. When I made a cast to the spot, the lure sailed a little. The results were priceless...

My second oldest brother Steve has always been more like a father figure to me. He taught me too many things to list, and most importantly everything I know about bass fishing. I hope everyone enjoys this tongue-in-cheek rules of fishing with Steve video. The back camera view is a little low, but the content is priceless.

Last week, I went kayak fishing on a local freshwater canal that has water control systems at each end and provides no access to an inland lake or the Gulf of Mexico. While fishing, I witnessed and was directly affected by what I can only describe as an act of stupidity by a person in a boat. With all the boating accidents that have recently occurred, it is time to start calling this dangerous and self-centered behavior out.

Last week I was back on my kayak fishing a local canal and hooked a very big bass. The cast I made for the bass was over the top of a brush pile. I had hoped that I would hook a bass on the near side of the brush pile as I brought my lure over the top of it. This bass had different plans...

In this video we share some footage of Rick catching some bass using a Jerkbait. This type of bait can provide a few more challenges than other baits when you use it in a kayak.

Rick spent a lot of time on the water bass fishing in the fall and early winter of 2023. During that time he tried numerous different lures and fishing techniques. If this had been a competition, there would have been a clear winner...

After being off the water since last June recovering from another back injury, I finally felt strong enough to get back on the water. With the help of my wonderful wife, I was finally able to do some kayak fishing last week. Although, I didn't catch any large bass, I did catch a few small ones and it felt great to get back on the water. Thank you to my surgeon, Dr. Robert Getter at the MI DISC Spine Care clinic in Port Charlotte, Florida. You and your staff do a fantastic job! Anyone needing spine care in the area should seriously consider contacting Dr. Getter. https://getterspine.com/spinal-care-clinic/ Thanks again to my wife for doing everything while I was recovering and for being my wife!

Rick has once again picked up the slack while I am recovering. He decided to put his kayak in at McKibben Park and had a great day of fishing. He caught 15 total largemouth. His largest catch was a 4-10 off a brush pile. He was using a watermelon red wacky worm. Unfortunately the camera battery had to be changed during the catch and we missed some of the footage of weighing and measuring the bass. This is the video of that catch. Thanks for watching and Enjoy!

Rick spent several hours at McKibben Park last week. He caught 11 bass total. His largest of the day was this 5 pound 5 oz fighter. Thanks for watching.

I am still recovering from surgery and Rick is still fishing solo, catching a lot of bass. In this video he catches his biggest fish out of 19 bass for the day. He caught the bass using a watermelon red speed worm.

While I continue to recover from back surgery, Rick continues to have very productive days on the water. He spent a few hours at Deer Prairie Creek and caught several bass. This is the video of his largest of the day at 3 pounds 9 ounces. Enjoy the nice bank shot cast he makes to this bass.

While I am recovering from back surgery, Rick has been picking up the slack. He has been out looking for and fishing new locations. We hope you enjoy watching Rick work a hollow-body frog in a local pond. Thank you all for watching our friend Bill's cancer video. Bill has completed his Chemo and Radiation treatments. He is now trying to heal from the damage caused by both treatments. The healing is very slow. He has his good days and not so good days, but he continues to keep a positive attitude and takes each day as it comes. Thank you to all of you who watched the video, commented on the video, and sent a positive thought or prayer Bill's way. Your continued thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.

This isn't the typical video I would post about Bass Fishing. However, it is absolutely necessary. Some of you may recall the very first video I shared on Rumble titled, "Billie No Fish." Unfortunately, After serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam, being wounded in combat and receiving the Bronze Star. Bill returned home from the military to continue a life of service as a Police Officer. He was shot in the line of duty and survived. My friend and fishing partner, Bill is now facing a different type of threat, one that millions of Americans are currently fighting each day...cancer. Bill is a tough old Marine and I believe in my heart that he is going to beat this awful disease. Please watch this video, say a prayer, think a positive thought, and if you have the time to post a positive comment to help Bill endure this long stretch of radiation and chemotherapy, we would all appreciate it more than words can say. Thank you! Ed from Big Old Yellow Dog Bass Fishing.

While I am still stuck on the couch with a back injury, Rick has been picking up the slack, the video camera, and the kayak a catching some bass.

Still stuck on the couch with back issues. I hope you enjoy the second video of the custom rods that I have built. I showed a couple of them in action.

I am currently stuck on the couch with an injury to my surgically repaired back. Since I cannot fish, I decided to complete some of my videos that have been in the works for several months. In this video you will see the very first bass rod that I custom built in action. For information on the class that I took visit www.mudhole.com Thank you for watching.

Rick got an awesome new Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL for Father's Day and it hasn't taken him long to get comfortable with it. While we were fishing at Deer Prairie Creek with only a few bites on a tough day, Rick pulled in this nice three pound finale.

I started fishing a little bit later than normal on this warm June day. With a little patience I was able to catch some pretty nice bass. This is the video of the largest bass that I caught that day. I hope you enjoy another video of a 5 pound Florida Largemouth. Thanks for watching.

Last weekend my wife went kayak bass fishing with me for the first time ever. My wife likes to take pictures much more than she likes to fish. On this day however, she caught the largest bass. She was trying to take a picture of the bass while she was reeling it in.

Last week, I went fishing with Rick at Deer Prairie Creek and set him up with a camera for the first time. We caught 12 total bass with a 3 lb 10 oz fish as the big bass of the day. Enjoy the highlights. Thanks for watching.

While talking about the gator that grabbed my lure earlier in the day, we caught a few more bass. The second one launched itself out of the water like a rocket.

We are Back at Deer Prairie Creek for our Part Two video. This was our biggest bass of the day at 4.7 lbs, and the first opportunity we have had to use multiple camera views. I hope you enjoy the video. Check back soon for Part Three from Back to Deer Prairie Creek.

After being closed for several months for renovations, Deer Prairie Creek finally reopened. It was perfect timing for me to take my vacationing brother Steve out kayak fishing in the new Feel Free Moken 10 Pedal Drive kayak. We fished for just under 3 hours and caught 30 bass. Unfortunately, we had some initial difficulties with Steve's hat camera, but were able to get some decent footage. Check back soon for Part Two.

When I am out fishing and the access ramp isn't busy, I like to make a few casts to the docks and area around the ramp. Many people will skip fishing in the area of the ramp and head straight out to their fishing spot. They will also head straight to the ramp in order to exit the water without ever fishing in the area. If you ignore fishing this area, you may be missing out on some decent fish.

I didn't get on the water until about 12:30 pm, but it turned out to be a good day kayak fishing the Cocoplum Waterway. I even had a first during this outing. A bass appeared to give me a "high fin" after I released it. See if you can spot it. Thank you for watching.
