A weighted Owner Beast hook works well. Swims like a flounder.

Looks like you need to do some pool cleaning

also good when used as a neko rig

That is a great looking bait Mark. I think you are right about throwing it on a drop shot. I have never tried them, but I will be picking some of these up. I have seen vids of guys in Japan throwing this on a free rig also. Good luck!

Good scenarios, enjoyed the video . . . . . safe travels and good luck in the tourney !!!!!

I would rather watch someone else catch a world record. I took an old neighbor hunting, put him in my stand and got a huge buck I had trail cam of all season. Yes, I'm jealous but also happy for him. Id rather have a winning bag and break down. At least I would know I could catch them. Lake Erie I would decide in the moment. Last year I took the gf fishing who had zero interest. She has become almost as hardcore as me and we fish together often

I live in bear country and see black bears frequently during the warmer months. To me it’s always a good thing to see a bear. My wife and I have seen three so far this year. Our resident large male bear I named Big Boy hasn’t shown up yet. I’m worried about him. I’m concerned something happened to him. He’s probably 250-300 lbs and would be targeted by hunters.

Bass will fck anything that moves 😂🤯🤯🤣

I'm not trying to be rude on this compliment here but I would like to fish by myself without where did my girlfriend

On a next video KZbin cuz I want to see if anybody gets surgery my wife is it to you

What about you in your body weight the scale of the size of the big bass that is what I want to know from you

Hey Mark, Thanks for taking me out fishing! Learned a ton and had a blast.

I say I’d rather have the winning bag with boat issues, now that’s a good story. My buddy can catch the big bass my turn right around the corner 😊😂🙈 I caught a few decent bass for my area but I fish by myself a lot and all I wanted was to hold that thing is and show someone. Thankfully we have camera phones now so f I got a few photos. I got one 21” and 19 and 3 quarters. I got the 19 just the other day

Good luck out there mark. Catch a biggun’

check out four seven lures. they make a far cheaper far more effective option

Great advice Mark!

The underwater Wednesdays are great. I would like to see some tackle storage tips or boat storage or mods you do. Really like all your videos

Keep up the underwater lure footage + testing, its interesting info on how our lures actually look in the water that you don't see on many fishing channels!

Great video 🎉 go Berkley

I've seen you guys a few times come through my feed and have watched a few of your videos. I did subscribe tonight because your channel keeps improving and getting viewer suggestions will help. The only complaint that I've seen is it seems a bit scripted, the more you can be yourself the more enjoyable it will be to watch. That will prolly take some time to get used to and may have to edit or record things a few times. I always enjoy people being real, honest, and showing their true personality more than anything else on youtube. Keep us up to date in new fishing trends, tackle, techniques, and of course drama, which will make your channel take off!

I enjoy your videos, but I love your under water videos so please don’t stop them 👍🏻

I just used this today. I did get several bites on this rig but could not hook anything. I changed back to my gama drop shot hook and brought in every fish that bit. I will use the dropshot hook

You guys are great 👍

Well I want to know more about topwater buzzfeed's

I think you guys mix it up really well. I love the Underwater Wednesdays, On-site at the bait store, specific custom bait modifications, and for God's sake more successful tournament footage. HA! HA! HA! Just keep pumping out what you think we can learn from your experiences.

Really a great channel. I like how you both are on. Makes it more genuine and fun. I wouldnt change much. But maybe more on water(possible with both of you) showing a technique . Maybe talking or showing a few techniques that are good for each month. I know alot channels do it, but i always find it interesting the difference of option each pro feels is the best for the month. Hope you both have a great weekend.

Love the underwater Wednesday’s! Technique specific information.

I’ve been around a while, I think your doing fine. I’ve watched your videos evolve over time and think they’re constantly improving. I enjoy your content just keep it up.

Man , tough to criticize anything ! But sometimes short and sweet , factual and informative. Sometimes funny and general conversation fits in ! Maybe some live interaction ….. I love just general fellowship chatting about what worked and also what didn’t .

I know many people do the videos but perhaps monthly suggestion videos like best baits for June… maybe top three for largies and top three for smallies. Also more about baits and techniques you like at different times of the year and situations… always looking for more info about what they like at different times in different parts of North America.

I also like the "On the water Wednesday" videos. Length of the videos is fine , , , , , I sometimes lose focus when a video is too long. Videos showing new products, how-to instructions interest me, as do recaps of your tournaments (the good and the bad). Glad I found your channel. Safe travels to/from NY !!!

The Wednesday videos are great. Some tech videos i think could be more detailed. Equipment/tackle videos are good. I always like to hear about or aee what people are buying and using. Also twraks to baits and equipment like upgrading bearings and spools. Overall is say you guys are doing a good job. Dont be afraid to do a little bit longer videos.

Thanks Mark, really enjoyed fishing with you. Thank you for sharing your insights and tips to improve my odds at catching fish. Patrick Strobel

Hope u guys are having a awesome week congrats on 2k

🎉

10-10 Mark and Megan. That was fun! Thanks!

I was surprised there were not more recreational boaters on the lake this weekend. I was there for the bacon fest but catching smallies sounds like a better time lol

Nice tip Mark!

I'm thinking with the right rig and current. This would look really good to a catfish. Plus it would be re-usable. What's your thoughts?

Great illustration!

Good video!

Brilliant

I fish these a lot and highly recomend an Owner 4/0 Twistlock hook and alway rigged backwards. If you use a standard wide gap EWG as shown and this is a one Bass per bait lure as the bulky bait will rip out at the bend. The screwlock greatly increases durability with no negative effects. In fact I recommend this hook for all Yamamoto baits when Texas rigging, like the Senko, Yamatanuki, etc. I actually buy the 91768 4/0 Mustad jig hooks by the 100 and the the hitch hikers by 100 from Amazon and make my own.

Lol. I only disagree with 2. I don't like a hotfoot. And I do both put baits in boxes and keep half in packages in bags. The packages are things I use all the time. Boxes have less used baits. Was fun.

What is the fall rate? Thank you

On the trailer question I thought it was going to be about the number of wheels. Isn't having 2 per side much safer then only having one in case you have a blowout on the highway?

Nailed it

Sounds like I should have been a pro angler.

Nailed it!! Good video guys!
