The Pre-Spawn Process w/ Vegas & Mike Iaconelli | IKE RAW Bass Fishing Video

Subscribe on YouTube


Today’s episode of Going Ike RAW turned into one of the craziest pre-spawn fishing sessions Vegas and I have ever had together.

We launched the tiny boat expecting a tough day:

  • Cold water
  • Heavy wind
  • Rain
  • Dropping temperatures
  • Tornado warnings moving through the area
At first, it was a grind. We wasted time in the wrong section of the lake catching pickerel and crappie while searching for the right water. But little by little, the clues started adding up: warmer water, moving fish, a cleaner setup, and protected areas.

Once we finally dialed in the pattern, everything changed.

The Berkley Warpig and Berkley Stunna became absolutely key as we figured out how these pre-spawn bass were positioning before the major cold front hit. And then it got ridiculous—every single time we tried to end the video, we hooked another giant.

This episode is exactly what IKE RAW is supposed to be: real fishing, real adjustments, and real-time decisions. No scripts, no hype, just the process of figuring out a tough bite. By the end of the day, it honestly turned into the Vegas Show.

Watching Vegas continue to grow as an angler has been one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced as a dad. His instincts, confidence, and understanding of fishing keep getting better every trip we take together, and I truly cherish these moments on the water with him.

If you’re looking to break down:
  • Pre-spawn bass patterns
  • Jerkbait and lipless crankbait fishing
  • Cold front adjustments
  • Raw, uncut fishing content
...this one is for you.

Never give up!
