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.
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

I would swear these fish has a calendar with the tournament days X'd off on them and laugh at most of us scratching our heads. LOL
Excellent content.
You are a Pool of Knowledge.
Thank you for sharing.
Fishing the moment ! weather on that day < water condition, very good info thanks!
I think you could make it as a pro
Thank you for the great information👍🏽🎣
😳😳😳😳 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!
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.
Wow I'm still in shock with how great all the info was. I've been fishing for some time n ur info was n awesome help!!!👍👍
I cant believe you have more subs then jimmy Houston
I am planning on purchasing one of your lake maps. Is the map compatible with my Iphone Navionics App and can the map be saved on my Iphone?
Where can I get one of those "Graphin" T-shirts?
#1 Didn't catch enough bass #2 Didn't catch big enough bass
I agree I like the funny voice, it reminds of the Seinfeld episode Hellooooo! Do your thing Jonny.
Man your an Arkansas channel.. My channel is more south Arkansas. You have a very informative channel!! What an awesome channel!!
Good points, keep tournament vids coming!
I know I’m guilty of sticking with a technique for to long or get sucked into chucking and winding on my crank stick! God I love my crankbait fishing 😂
Whether it’s tournament fishing or fun fishing everything that you teach can be applied. The goal is always to catch fish! Keep up the Great work and great attitude!
No no, you need to do the funny voice. It's only goofy when you half-ass it.
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!
Always do the funny voice!!!!
