Wow. Wonderful footage Steve. Thank u for sharing! Richieπ€
What happens to behavior when sonar is turned on?
I guess I just don't think like a bass. I've been fishing for 50 years. All kinds of fish including largemouth. I just cannot consistently catch fish. Instead I get skunked more often than not.
Thank you for all your footage. I go as a co angler I'm always left with the back of the boat. You've given me a whole new idea of how to catch that my boater could have missed. Thank you
Y3ars ago there was a guy I think named Doug Hannan who did a lot of underwater video of fish behavior. I really got a lot out of your content and thank you for communicating in such a concise manner rather than the rambling that YouTubers often use
No nonsense Steve rogers here
Thank you!
You kids CRACK ME UP,
You mean yall need a Camera to show you, what Us Old Time Fishermen Already Knew
How in the World did i ever catch all those Big Bass years ago, Without all those gadgets..??? π€£
Niceee
You say bass hide under the brush so instead of flicking or over cast I try to ship my lure what you think?
Really cool video. Some great information there.
Who cares about bass, we mostly are after Walleyes everywhere!
Steve i consider myself a seasoned bass fisherman, i study this fish daily. I have more tackke and gear than many pros. But you never know it all and never too old to learn. Your presentation is remarkable, and sheds alot new light on my favorite past time. Thank You.
I have to differ fishing in MN. I kayak fish and I fish Trophy Bass in the middle of thick Pad fields on lakes. So, wide and so thick people laugh at me saying I won't catch fish and 10minutes later a large 7lb + busts out of the water taking a frog. I'll find Bass underneath shoreline brush. Big bass will ambush their prey from underneath which I use a lure they don't make anymore, because the company said that too many reported it didn't catch fish, and when they heard I caught tons of fish on it they couldn't believe it. So, if I lose those lures, i can't replace them since they don't make it no more. Some bass hang off big rock structure in deep water. Smaller bass, (Young) will be all over, but Trophy Bass will truly be in deep or shallow thick structures, because they love easy meals. Some of my top Bass in the 6-7lb range thick in the middle of Pad fields ranging from 2ft-10ft on a frog or Worm.
You look so stoned π Great Info though!
Ok, so bass are social and like to hang out together, have you tried catching 1 of these bass while they're hanging out to see what happens to the rest of them? Maybe after 1 is caught they disperse? If you fish you've seen bass follow the one you've caught to the boat, do they all go back to where they were hanging out? I doubt it. Could be something to check out if you haven't. Would be interesting to see what they do.
News school vid on ole school discoveries. Nice try bruh
I like my bass fisherman to have a southern accent. You need to be doing Walleye tips. π€£ jk
City boy, probably a Democrat too. Or a liberal π. Probably watches CNN all day long and drives a prius. What a jerk
Nice video Steve!
