Topwater Smallmouth on the Tail End of a Storm! (Creek Fishing)

Join me for a relaxed, yet action-packed day of creek fishing for Smallmouth Bass! I'm hitting the water on the tail of a storm with a War Eagle buzz bait to see if we can trigger some aggressive topwater strikes from Smallmouth Bass! The action starts fast, and we land several solid smallies, including a beautiful 18+ class fish or two! If you love a topwater blow-up in a scenic Illinois creek, you won't want to miss this session! 00:00 Intro & Setting the Scene 01:36 First Topwater Smallmouth of the Day 02:45 Finding the Perfect Creek Spot 03:07 Another Solid Smallmouth 05:14 Big 18-Inch Smallmouth in the Net! 06:55 Aggressive Follow & Strike 08:27 War Eagle Buzz Bait Action 10:27 Switching to the Swimbait 12:44 Kayak Stability & Handling 13:46 Landed a Fatty! 14:13 Heartbreak: The Big One That Got Away 15:43 17-Inch Creek Smallmouth 17:16 Big Hookset Moment 18:52 Topwater "Whopper" Success 20:35 Ending on the Sandbar #CreekFishing #SmallmouthBass #TopwaterFishing
