- That's got to be a spot.
Feels like he's about 12 inches long.
He is too.
First fish of 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series.
Let's make sure he's 12 inches.
Flippity flop, what do we got?
Oh, is he 12? He's 13 1/2 baby.
That's what I'm talking about.
That is a massive, massive ball of shad.
There's got to be a spot around that.
Holy cow.
Can you see my graph?
It's like a mega watershed.
Surely there's a spotapotomous down there somewhere.
Looks like they're right there.
Those might be stripers. (laughs)
Those look pretty big.
Got him.
Ohh. (sigh) Ohh.
I got other options but
it's the decision making process.
You're getting live action.
(lively music)
Get in this boat
Number two in the box.
(lively music)
Doin' big things.
(lively music)
Feels like a good one.
Stay on there baby.
Oh yeah.
That's a giant. Come on.
Come on. Come here. Come here.
Yeah.
Mmmmm, that's a fricken stud spot right there.
For this pond it is.
(lively music)
You don't feel very big.
He gained a little weight.
Easy now, easy now.
I need you in this box.
(water splashes
Number five.
Ohhh, that was a freaking giant.
Oh my gosh.
I watched him eat it right there.
It was a three pounder.
Oh no, stole my worm.
Man, making it hard on me.
Oh, you got to be kidding me?
I let him swim with it forever.
(calm music)
should have cranked more today.
Got some work to do tomorrow boys.
(lively music)
- [Man] Talk to me a little bit about Lake Martin.
She looks muddy.
- Lake Martin is brutal for me this week.
I never could get anything going.
It's not good. (laughs)
- [Man] Did they tell you something?
- No just a little.
That's not what you want.
They need to be a lot bigger than that.
- [Zaldain] Tak's got a massive bag.
- [Brandon] Cranking largies.
- Yeah, he's got to be up the river.
- I'm gonna guess I'm somewhere about 80th or so.
If I was just taking a guess.
- Tied for first?
- Well has anybody weighed in yet?
- [Man] No.
- Okay yeah, I'm tied for first that's right. (laughs)
We ended up with more than I thought we had.
I thought we had about 6 1/2 pounds.
We weighed 8.5.
I don't know what the cut weight's gonna be yet.
It's still too early to tell.
Probably gonna be nine to 10 pounds, somewhere in there.
9 1/2 pounds, I'm guessing, per day for the cut weight.
So we got a little bit of work to do.
The deep fish that I thought we
were gonna catch this morning disappeared on me.
So I don't know what we're gonna do tomorrow.
Probably start out somewhere different.
Hit some of the same stuff and then I'm gonna
fish some new water too.
Just a lot of the fish that I found left and changed.
We're gonna some do things a little bit different tomorrow.
See if we can't round up 10-11 pounds
and slide in the cut and go from there.
♪ So beautiful to me five pound bass. ♪
I'm gonna sing that five times today.
Our plan is we need about 12 or 13 pounds.
That probably get us fishing till Saturday.
Because we're chasing down back-to-back AOYs.
Good news is we still won AOY with 105th last year.
Right now, we're sitting in 80 or 90 something.
We're actually ahead of the curve from last year.
That's my positive thinking.
(lively music)
Got my first one yesterday.
It was a 13 incher and it took me
two hours to catch him.
It's a good way to start though.
(lively music)
(record scratches)
Line in the trolling motor action this morning.
It's a new technique I like to use.
Makes them think that you're leaving
so they get comfortable again.
(lively music)
Stay on there. Stay on there.
(water splashes)
He's not hooked very well.
Sweet, number two.
It's always fun when you just look at a map
and say ah, I think I'm gonna catch one over there.
Stop, pull up, catch one.
Alright you dirty rotten bastards.
You'd eat it if you knew what was good for ya.
Heck this is a new spot so I'm not complaining.
- [Man] Oh this is?
- Yeah, I never fished here before.
I just looked at the map and said that looks right.
Getting in the groove.
There we go.
It's not that big.
Come here.
He's barely hooked.
Barely hooked.
Well that makes number three.
Do the happy dance, do the happy dance.
Stay down there.
Keep your head down.
Get in here, yes.
Another little spotopotomus.
I know what to look for to get bit.
- [Man] Number five.
- That is number five.
(lively music)
There we go. Oh biggun, biggun.
Stay on there baby.
It's a fricken big one.
Barely hooked too.
Oh gosh it's a biggun.
Yeaaahh, mmmm, that's what I'm talking about.
Alright, actually we need four more like that but.
- [Man] Well you got to start somewhere.
- [Brandon] Four more like that will make the cut.
Gosh that gets me fired up.
Oh yeah, I'm starting to feel it.
Getting dialed in.
I thought he was barely hooked
but he actually had it better than I thought.
He had the back hook about 1/2 way down his throat.
He's not going to help.
Yeah.
Ol' largemouth.
(lively music)
He's not gonna help.
He's not a giant but.
(lively music)
Oh. (exhales)
Gosh dang it, two pounder.
Gosh dang it.
There we go that's a biggun.
- [Man] See it strong.
- Fuuuu.
Fricken three plus.
- [Man] I seen that one come up out of the water.
- [Brandon] (exhales) We've had the bites to do it.
Got to be fricken kidding me?
- [Man] You still got time.
- Gosh dang it.
Now I really got a mess. (exhales)
Man that is fricken brutal.
Had the bites to make the cut I think.
Oh he dropped it.
- [Man] You lost another one?
- [Brandon] Yep.
Had one eat it and the sucker dropped it.
Watch out I'm coming back here.
He'll help.
I'm gonna land him right here.
Sorry Kyle. (laughs)
Not as big as the last one but I think it'll help.
Yes. Yes. That'll help.
(exhales) That'll definitely help.
We gots to be going here soon.
(lively music)
Do you know what it's gonna take?
Well it's gonna take more than 18
and I only got about 18.
So 30 something?
Yeah I won't make it.
Not even close.
There's no way.
I have one that I think's three
and then four that are a pound and 3/4 to 2 1/4.
We're gonna be short.
We need to get rid of those little guys.
Easy there little fellow.
We need a few more like that one.
We needed a couple of more like that.
And our little, old, skinny, largemouth.
Gonna be a little short. (laughs)
Gonna be just a little short.
- [Man] Can we get a picture with you Brandon?
- Sure, let me spin around buddy.
Why couldn't I have just been smarter yesterday?
Didn't have an open mind.
(lively music)
Thanks.
You definitely got more than I got.
I need to get rid of those two.
I had the clues there, in practice, to go do that.
When I was like, "Oh yeah, that's my jam."
That's what I need to look at.
- [Boy] I'd like to get your autograph.
- Of course you can.
- [Boy] So (mumbles) tomorrow.
- [Woman] He's got a state tournament tomorrow.
- Oh you do?
- [Boy] Yes sir.
- Make all them boys jealous.
- [Announcer] For the Bass Master Angler of the Year.
The Prodigy Brandon Palaniuk.
(crowd claps)
Eight pounds, five ounces yesterday.
Needs 12.5 to get inside the cut here today.
11 pounds even.
- Not good. Not good.
11 pounds. That gives us 19.5 total (rolls tongue)
We're gonna fall short of the cut.
Probably end up 70th, 75th, something like that.
I've had worse bombs but just bad decisions yesterday.
We made good decisions today and lost some.
It's all we can do.
So we got a couple of days off.
Hang out inside the RV and get a little work done
and get ready for the Classic.
(lively music)
Got the Karma rolling.
Gonna do a little flying.
That's what happens when you don't make the cut.
And when you can't fish,
you just go fly your Karma.
This calibration.
- [Man] Brandon doing the drone dance right now.
- [Electronic Voice] Step one is finished.
- [Man] I feel like we need to put music to this.
- [Man] Now we're moving to our third location
to fly the drone.
- [Electronic Voice] Ready to fly.
- [Brandon] Is it tilted?
(lively music)
(drone engine hums)
There she is.
Is that Chad over there?
- [Man] Is that Chad?
That might be Chad actually.
- [Brandon] Go Chad Pipkens.
Got done flying the Karma.
We, pretty much, flew every Karma battery we had.
So we're out of Karma batteries,
we're out of coffee
and I'm gonna go back, watch some footage.
Take a shower 'cause I haven't showered yet this morning.
And then probably go hang out with some sponsors.
Go hang out with Yamaha, Huk.
Go there, hang out with the fans.
Sign some autographs.
Kiss some moms, shake some babies.
I mean, shake some hands, kiss some babies.
Totally kidding.
I just like saying that.
Unfortunate that we're not fishing today.
But making the most of it.
- Just slowing my heart rate down because
it stopped for too long.
- [Brandon] Oh, you better get it.
- Just talk and do it and it goes up double right?
- [Man] Are we doing a plank off or something?
- I don't know what we're doing.
Tiff just made me come over here
and said, "Hey."
- [Tiffanie] I already finished mine
but this is for my goal next time.
I have to beat his.
- It's starting to a little bit.
Actually it kind of hurts my shoulders.
- [Man] Where's the time clock at?
You can't tell him.
We're only at 12 seconds?
- [Brandon] Yeah, we are.
- [Man] What do you think you're gonna get to?
(Brandon blows through his lips)
Trying to keep your mind off it.
- At least two minutes.
- [Man] What'd you get to Tiff?
- Not even a minute.
I got to 41 seconds.
Maybe I should sit on him to make it fair.
- [Brandon] It's starting to hurt.
- [Man] Brandon's actually going for
the Guinness World Record now so.
(Brandon laughs)
Sag in the middle. (laughs)
- [Brandon] I'm calling it.
- [Man] Oh he's done.
- You didn't even collapse.
Three minutes, 26 seconds and 76.
- [Brandon] Game.
- I don't like that goal.
I thought you'd make it to a minute.
(man laughs)
(truck engine hums)
(lively music)
- Day three.
It is finally, well not finally.
It's actually a pretty fun day.
But day three is finished.
