Folks at home, folks at home!
In this brand-new Going Ike episode, we SMASHED the lake record with a 7+ pound pre-spawn GIANT! I hit the water with one of my original fishing buds, Chris, and we put in WORK—covering both shallow and deep water to track down big bass. Using Active Target forward-facing sonar, we dialed in fish at all depths and triggered bites with stickbaits and the Berkley Slobber Knocker.

This wasn’t just a monster bass—it was the biggest bass my home lake has ever seen, and it meant the world to land this fish alongside Chris, a friend I’ve been fishing with since the early ’90s and the Top Rod Bassmaster days. There’s something really special about fishing with friends you’ve shared that much history with. Those relationships keep you sharp, keep it fun, and honestly? It always feels like you catch more fish when you’re on the water with good people.

The pre-spawn bite was absolutely on fire, and this turned into one of those days I’ll never forget, and of course, the full fight and celebration after setting a new lake record!

C’mon, let’s go!
