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

Watch part 2 here: https://youtu.be/1amwGm7xBhM

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

Does that count if the goldfish adds a pound?

Im more impressed with the crappie in the beginning 😂

2:30 that fish hit harder than my dads belt

The bait was special ordered straight from Petsmart😂

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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!!!

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?

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

He legit showed my house in this video 😂

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

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

using an invasive species as bait is just a bad idea

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