Choosing the right fishing lure can be hard, especially because certain baits work better in different seasons of the year. So to give you some direction on which baits to throw when, I recorded the size, bait and season for every fish I caught in my YouTube videos.
In this video, I break down this data and show you the best baits for me by season. I also show you which baits help me catch bigger fish throughout the year. There’s a lot of data to go through, so grab some popcorn and enjoy!

Bro didn’t add spring
why didn't u do dif times during spring?
Very well put together video, great info!
Dude, this is next level data analysis! Nice!
I had learned so much in this video. I subscribed and hope see you more learning video will come, thank you again for efforts for every
fishermen !🙏
Great video dude. Thanx for taking the time to share your data. Interesting stuff.
Imma get more jigs…😆
Just now watching this in 2022 lol but I'm curious did you decide on trying new techniques or tried and trusted ones?
Great video, I think you should do a half and half approach to trying new baits and refining known ones. Maybe a day of new baits then a day of just your fav.
But the rage bug give a slower fall rate than other plastics because of the bulk and gives bulk which is what a jigs is supposed to be. Plus also try a buzz bait jig and spinnerbait without a skirt with a rage bug too.
On jigs tell the difference between jigging jigs and swimming jigs on the same data break it down even further and soft jerk baits and hard jerk baits. And also include spinnerbaits and show data for normal ripping and slow rolling. Also use different weights baits and show data such as 1/4 oz vs3/8 oz bs 1/2 oz jigs and spinnerbaits. I have not caught near as many bass on 3/8 oz spinnerbaits as I have on 1/4 oz yet it’s extremely difficult to find 1/4 oz spinnerbaits this day in time. Everybody wants to throw a 3/8 oz. same with a jig also. And also do with different trailers. Double tail vs split tail vs curly tail on spinnerbaits and buzz baits and no trailers and pork vs plastic vs rage bug on spinnerbaits and buzzbaits and jigs. Pork gives a jig much slower fall rate and catches bigger fish for sure and at times more numbers of fish also. And it’s more natural looking to me.
Love the content, it's been really helpful. I went from catching below 1lb to 3lbs fish
Sure wish I could fish with you for lots of reasons . South miss tide water rivers
How do you get past grass on the jig ? Hung up ,hung up , hung up if I throw a jig 10 times , it hangs up 8 times . What do I do ?
Heat maps are okay but like all statistics without additional information to supplement the heat map it can be quite deceiving. For example, your last heat map where you only show 55% jig and 45% crankbait shows only catches using those two baits. Data is missing on how many catches you had during the winter. So let's say you had 100 catches during the winter/ The combined heat map for the 2+ lb and 4+lb catches add up to 200% which is impossible when you only caught, in this hypothetical example, 100 fish. Both heat maps combined show you would have caught 200 fish, hypothetically. I would have first broke down, if using multiple heat maps, the total number of catches by weight. The category 2+ lbs is confusing because you do not clarify whether or not this includes the 4+ lb category. When dealing with percentages, raw totals are very much needed for each category.
So let's say in the winter you have 500 total catches through your you tube video. Showing that 35% of your total catches were over 2lbs and 25% of your catches were over 4lbs and all of the rest were under 2 lbs gives the viewer that top view. Then you can drill down into the data to look for the pattern predicated by weight.
So to help you out, I would have done an all season heat map showing the total number of fish caught and broken down into categories of under 2lbs, 2 lbs to 4 lbs and 4 lbs and over. Then a heat map in the same way, over all totals, for each season. Then I would drill down further into bait categories. Your story being told with the data is actually incomplete and leaves the viewer with unnecessary questions. A person who catches 5 fish, 3 on one bait and 2 on another bait will have the same percentage as a person who catches 300 fish and 180 on one bait and 120 on another. The population size for the first one is not viable, nor credible, because it would be discarded as a sample size in this scenario. A 300 sample size would be a little better over the course of a year fishing part-time and could potentially be used and you qualified it by stating you could not fish during certain times. The 300 sample size would be much better than the 5 sample size because you can derive more from the larger sample size that you are trying to accomplish in this scenario.
In all instances, you need to start with the most broadest view of your data then drill down into more granular categories. While your attempt here in this video was admirable, based on that last heatmap chart, I would not have actionable information to make an informed decision upon for the types of baits per the seasons given. I would have some idea but the confidence level would not be high to use those baits during that season if I had only watched your youtube channel. Hope this helps without getting too technical or critical.
I have a background in database management with B.I.
Data analytics huh? I knew it! Lol – excellent info as always!
I give you lots of props for this video 👍🏽
Wow great job Jonny; just keep doing what works
This is the nice example
You should fish more plastic worms and creaturebaits.
I need to learn how to fish and trailer a jig…thx for all you do! Great job 🇺🇸🎣
Are the pictures u used the baits u use answer my question plz
This makes me sad. Never been able to catch a fish on a jig. Tried for years.
Going to start using jigg more
Interesting analysis
Great info Appreciate you taking the time Do all the work
Okay… 2-years later we need an update for 2019-2020 top fishing lure use!
My humble opinion…You should throw more variety of baits when fun fishing…but stick to your winners for tournaments.
Fish what is fun for you
There is no way one can conclude anything from these data. Zero statistical rigor. Fun to watch though.
As someone professionally trained in data analytics: the best baits for you to catch bass on posted video in each season by bass weight ignoring frequency of throwing each bait. That's not meant to be a negative. It's just the most appropriate way to state the conclusion ignoring statistical significance.
thank you sir for the knowledge, i like it
same baits
Amazing, simply amazing.
My favorite video of all your videos. My memory is not great but I am a numbers guy and this video really spoke to me. Go hogs
I'm surprised there's not many plastics, and no senkos. Those seem to be the staples for me.
