  1. The number one mistake that tournament fishermen make is assuming that BIG BASS will chase a lure. The biggest fish in the lake feed at night when the prey is easy to catch. These big fish are smart and lazy. If you want to put them in the boat during daylight hours, you need a slow enticing approach. The other fishermen are using baitcasters and fast retreivals. They are catching small 3 and 4 pounders but the 10 pounders are not chasing or biting the bait. I would use a plastic worm no weight applied and a Zebco spin caster to throw it a mile. The new Zebco reels are nice. They have ball bearing drag systems and are much better than the old school junk that they made before. The most important reason for using this reel is the unlimited casting distance that is available regardless of the lure weight. The slow sink and twitch approach using a plastic worm is an easy meal. That is what the big fish want. They don`t want to chase a lure. They got their belly full the night before when the prey was easy to catch. They are not really hungry during the day. The small ones will chase it but that is not what you are after. The slow worm sink with a slight twitch will entice those big ones to hit.

  2. How do fishing tournament work from when to launch boat thro weigh in and how u get point and what makes u get 1st thru 4 ranking. My son is want join bass tournament team at school only fishing I’ve ever done is to take home and eat

  3. 😳😳😳😳 i totally emailed him about this about a month ago. I’m a co-angler and needed help being as effective/efficient as possible with my rod selection. Going on the website and buying now!

  4. Jonny you do a great job! I like the detail you go into, especially the tournament type videos. The part that I like most about that setup is that it goes into your thought process to how you find and catch fish. You eluded to it in this video but I like hearing your plan a, b, c because I hope I get good enough that I can go into days with a better gameplan.

  5. You're the best, bro. Like someone else commented; don't change who you are for anyone (especially if it's not negative). The deep voice number-call thing is Hilarious!! Love it!
