Potential State Record Trout While Bass Fishing!! (Smallmouth Fishing The PNW)

Jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch as he explores a mountain reservoir! Watch how he locates fish, builds patterns, and catches not only bass, but world class trout as well! Beautiful scenery and aggressive fish makes for an awesome adventure!

Jesse pretty much caught them on every bait he picked up. He caught them on a ned rig, a swimbait, and everywhere in between. But the key to his success was his willingness to keep moving, and his desire to locate above average fish. The next time you're on the water, don't settle for second best, and you might be surprised what happens next!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he fished throughout his two–day adventure. We've included the exact colors for each bait, along with some of his key rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
