Giant Goldfish Catches 17 lb Bass!! (State Record) 

Watch part 2 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1amwGm7xBhM.html

I'd cast my little sister out as bait to catch a 17lb bass.

Im more impressed with the crappie in the beginning 😂

Does that count if the goldfish adds a pound?

I can see that goldfish as being irresistible to bass. As a kid I rigged a large shiner I'd caught from the bank of our local reservoir and watched as an enormous bass ate that shiner and snapped that puny 8 lb. line like it was a spider's web. The bass took that shiner in its open mouth sideways with room to spare. At one end of the 'Rez', as we called it, a dead fall of windblown leaves have made a natural mulch of rich soil over decades. Underneath, as we discovered by accident, were the fattest red wiggler worms any of us had ever seen. We were no older than ten years old and couldn't really comprehend what we had. Inexplicably, we just dropped the idea of fishing there in favor of catching trout in the creek a couple of miles away. We would drop a wriggling worm under the outstretched branches of trees hanging over the water and watch as dozens of bass of varying sizes would zero-in on the worm. They may still be there, more than fifty years later, for all that I know. The 'Rez' was the secondary holding pond for the local water company and while we were never run-off of the property we knew that it was loosely forbidden to go there. I believe that the water company didn't want to have to deal with kids falling in as kids are want to do. What a place.

2:30 that fish hit harder than my dads belt

The bait was special ordered straight from Petsmart😂

Id already watched this video, here for round 2 but HAD to tell you how much I enjoy your pond videos as well as seeing them in the tanks. THANK YOU and keep um coming. I'm a 47 year old man BTW and feel like you're one of the top guys here and wish you continued success!

Pond fish should not count for state records it should be public water only I mean how is it fair that the owners feed these fish 10 times a day in a pond and grow humongous and then nobody can try to catch them and then get a state record , just my two cents

OMG this guy obviously lives an outdoorsman's dream... Imagine living on a property that has 17lbs+ bass along with some of the biggest trophy bucks I've ever seen!!! The deer mount second to the right had to be close to a state record typical... And those non typicals are INCREDIBLE!!!

Make sure you tell your people (subbers) that in some states it's illegal to use gold fish like in state of Fla. Thanks JT

I dont think it cheating, but in my state its against the law to use goldfish. we use giant shiners.

I love your vids mate keep it up !!! It's amazing seeing these big 12 lb + basses it's just magnificent !!!! Take care champ - all the way from australia

I just threw my phone out the window... WE NEED PART 2!!!!

0:46 Holy slabs! The size of that crappie got me all sorts of excited!

This video has been recommended to me 3 or 4 times a year since you uploaded it and I have watched it almost every time

He legit showed my house in this video 😂

Great video man! Very interesting way of fishing. Looks like a lot of fun.

In my state using an invasive fish species for bait it's illegal and just plain dumb. Nice fish though, but why not use 1lb bluegill or shiner?

PS: I've also caught bass in the 60s 8 lb range while pike fishing with 14 in crankbaits. Definitely a cool video. Love it no matter where you are.

My largest large mouth was caught on a fingerling bass. It had to be over 6lbs. Here in NJ, that's a big bass.

your guide really didnt want to untie the boat... lmao

And I think I five pound bass is big🤣

"He has told me these 14, 15, 17 pound class fish, its just impossible to get them to bite artificial baits" Two words... BUTCH BROWN.

i really enjoy your videos brotha..makes me wanna get back out there...n i definitely need a stress reliever

I caught my PB 24 years ago on a cooked left over shrimp, lol.. Around 7#

That drag pull at the end, you know it’s about to get serious.

using an invasive species as bait is just a bad idea

I would not recommend using live goldfish for bass because they are invasive and if they escape there goes the environment the goldfish will be to big for bass

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing

I'm pretty sure any "invasive " goldfish that made it overboard wouldn't be invasive for more than minute or so with those bass with antlers cruising around in that pond.

Great video brother! keep up the great content!

Omg if you get caught using gold fish in Louisiana you don't even want to know the fine.

That was a beautiful double bass mount! Those big white tails were pretty too!

“ Look at that mouth, that’s one nice lookin fish” easy sailor. Your tone is scaring me.

Still sort of waiting for that part 2 to drop. 😂😂

Still waiting for part 2, killing me here!!!!

This end has me straight up mad. WHEN IS THE NEXT VIDEO STEPHEN?!?!?!?!?!

Can we all take a second to appreciate those giant whitetails on the wall🙊

it is always amazing at what size live baits will be taken by a fish.....Thanks for Sharing Sir....

I would absolutely freak out!! So cool, definitely a bucket list item!

Oh my gosh. ....when is the next video!

Just catch a 12 pounder and throw him in the trout pond and come back in 5 years and you'll have a state record to catch on a live trout

Your channel is like a dream Land for us outdoor guys and gals!

Hey appreciate the video and did u feel you had to heavy tackle seemed to easy to reel them in?

You aint right my mouth was watering to see what you caught

Dude that was a serious cliffhanger 😂😤

Those whitetails impressed me even more!!!!

A lot of cool visuals in this video. Nice work.

I love your videos so much they give me so much inspiration to do my favorite hobby fishing and I just hope you had a good time out there on water and I hope y'all make more videos like this thanks

cant wait for the bond notificationsquad

He says this guy owns the lake and he’s got a beautiful home with a trout pond next to the lake? Talk about a dream home

Great video! But If I got caught fishing where I live in southern Ontario using goldfish as bait by the MNR I’d get fines left and right 😂

Am I the only one who immediately flashed to “He can’t stay down with two barrels...” Captain Qwint.

I caught my PB LMB on a dead goldfish that size. I cut it in half and both pieces on the hook under a large bobber. I was fishing for catfish. Since then I've targeted bass a few times but I still prefer the cats.

Love love 💕 you’re videos !!

3:11 but wait he was just holding him the way he said to never do lol

And this is exactly how you end up with invasive species in your Lake

One of your "goldfish" was a beautiful butterfly koi.... 0n0

That white and speckled black goldfish with the long fins is beautiful! Don’t waste it as bait.

Come to Georgia. The state record here is tied with the world record and hasn't been broken since it was caught in Montgomery lake, GA in 1932. 22lbs 4oz

Absolutely loved this episode!

I just duct taped my remote back together. Yes I watched this on my big screen.

Is the other video not out? I can't find it??

The new back yard pond is cool and all but we need this follow up video!!...

8:46 - He was just showing off his nose ring to the other fish. 😂

Only thing i would be concerned with, is if some of those goldfish got released accidentally. Then you would have a serious problem in the lake... otherwise nice fish making that drag scream

this is like using a golden retriever to catch a wolf

Man when is part 2 coming out?!

How big was that Crappie? I've caught same slabs in my time, but damn.

like if u can't wait for the pond

Was I the only one to feel bad for the gold fish

That’s a BIG bait!!! Great video 👌👍

Respect for the man saying always hold them side ways true fisher men know this rule!

Hell, that's a butterfly koi in that live well!

i live in the birmingham area and would love to take my dad out here for his birthday .. any info on where this is or how to get in contact with the owner of the lake?? let me know! thanks

Cool video I hope catch fish like that in the future

That crappie....jaw drop

NIce its all about the hunt!! Let's see an official record!

@BamaBass what type of balloons 🎈 do you use, and what do you fill them up with ?

Gotta love those gold fish, gotta love the channel reel outdoorsy

I gots a pond with thousands of gold fish,never thought of selling them but got dam who needs gold fish.

Take me there! I wanna catch goldfish, grass carp, 2 lb bluegill, and 10 lb bass!

Looks like a lot of goldfish fans watched this video. 😂😂😂

The pictures can't do it justice you really have to be there in person. I was in a guy's house in New Jersey doing some service work and he had the state record mounted on the wall impressive

I wouldn't consider that cheating. But it's illegal in md.

No more cheating than having 4000 dollars worth of electronics on a boat.

When fishing for big fish with a float, it's best to leave the reel "open" so the fish doesn't pull the rod in. I love the clicker on my baitcaster.

Hello, greetings from Panama. What rod do you use with that reel?

It's not cheating if it works, cheating at fishing is somehow creating a magnet that only magnitizes fish

Bass fishing with a Calcutta lol

Where can I get fishing reel and rod like the one in video. Salt water rig

Can’t wait to start my own koi pond! Gonna fish for those big carp using bluegill! I hear they get huge!

And that’s how u get the carp invasion it’s like COVID

jesus, that's how koi or big goldfish end up in ponds :D

As a fisherman who uses artificial bait and started off using live bait, I would say that live bait isn't cheating in the slightest. There's still a challenge in fighting the fish, and catching them and sometimes in really pressured lakes, it's hard to get them on live.

where are you fishing at? i live in alabama too.

old bass are hard to fool with lures, and in that case live bait isn't really cheating in my opinion

In germany is fishing with live baet ilegel :)

These guys must've robbed the goldfish ping-pong game at the fair the night before
