[@joshuanovak7421]

I love me some fishing tips from the man himself !

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

jigs definitely intimidate me. but i feel like its something i definitely am going to need to work on and learn how to use properly

[@taddean3272]

Practice in ponds first. Learn what the bite on a jig feels like and practice setting the hook hard and fast before you try it on a lake👍🏼

[@shard7086]

Fish it like a worm. Don’t be scurrrred

[@scalnation3069]

Trust me once you start catchin em on it you will always tie one on. Key to jig fishing is no grass fish slow and usually what retrieve works best for me is just hopping and then letting it sit still for around 10 seconds. Usually gets bit right on or after the hop

[@colingordon5950]

I am the EXACT same way. I went to a local pond and tried it to test what bites feel like. I got a couple quick ones, but I was able to recognize rock vs. bite. The practice is helping. I am dedicating myself to finesse until I get it right. Jigs are what I want to be really good at, and it won't come without practice. Keep at it! We can't fail forever!

[@nextgenclassiccarsofIL]

I appreciate the kind words and information! i will definitely strap one on this week and give it a strong go. i will update you all!!

[@pandaeatingpancakes9570]

Thanks for fishing through these times

[@jeremyerno4589]

Absolutely going live would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JavierRivera-po9tq]

God bless lfg and the family...super happy for the video....lfg team we need 1 million we all know he deserves it

[@vafishing8296]

You’re the man homie. We would definitely like to see a live stream. It’d be like having the game on in the background at work. Keep crushing it dude

[@jessehillis7830]

LFG I love your jig fishing videos please post more!!!

[@BassGeek]

Docks in the summer. That's always a good call.

[@atlfisherman3413]

So glad that you finally showed the knot you have been using. I have been watching you for years and always seen you do a loop de loop, twisty twist and wandered what knot that was. Adding this video to my tips. Thank LFG.

[@trevyn421]

"WAH-BAM eeeEEeeEEeE" -LFG, 2020

[@zanderhauck3879]

Jigs are also by far my favorite thing to use. I catch a lot of fish big and small on them.

[@mountainwaveexotics]

Bud you are the man love watching your videos been following you for 3 years. Proud of you and the crew can't wait to go to GHQ soon ... tight lines

[@nickmoore5521]

Lovin every dangle! Opened up a whole new world of fishing for me!

[@frankchandler5535]

My favorite fishing & part of the great fun is learning how to identify & locate new fishing spots.

[@roginky7369]

Thanks for sharing ur knowledge, Im getting ready to started bass fishing at 53, yep old man lol , and enjoy ur videos and the googan squad, glad u r healthy , keep it up bud

[@Thumpaholic]

Thumbs up for the vertical dangle for crappie

[@ff323ny]

More fishing with the man, I am at peace once again. Keep up the awesome work.

[@toasted9453]

I could never imagine myself sitting and watching you fish for 3 hours, until I started watching other videos of people fishing for 3 hours. It's a hit

[@bjmckay2273]

Would absolutely love a live stream video, there not for everyone. But I think an occasional full length would be awesome!

[@JoJoChrist72]

"Apologize... Apologize for the face" had me geekin 😆

[@elktough777]

Looks like a good lake to stalk up on the golden crispy’s 🎣🤤

[@Mr-Picky]

I've been fishing just about all my life. Never used a finesse jig until 2 weeks ago. Actually got my p.b. lmb yesterday Using a Googan jig with a saucy swimmer. Loving it

[@letmeseethatbass1683]

This summer been tough good tips

[@mystiic5025]

"what a toad-tastic butter-bean" - LFG, 2020

[@ronhinchliffe8160]

Dude, you are on fire. I just got off the water, 16+ pound bag of Smallies, and enjoyed this drop very much. I watch every post you do, but there was something about this one that just made it special! As far as that knot goes, it reminds me of that game we used to play as kids with string and transferring it back and forth to someone else's hands. Lol. I'm really not sure where a Palomar isn't appropriate, never had one slip/break. This video was simply great! Your dedicated sub from Canada. God bless.

[@JavierRivera-po9tq]

My man Justin FYI praying for you and the fam's ..very good y'all send instructions and how to fish it and the lure

[@CJNAPOLEON77]

I never left another video so fast in my life, for another video hahaha LFG!!!

[@Macallan562]

This guy makes more of this than need be. I fish for big small mouth in the Adirondacks with 6 - 8 lb. test mono. I catch some fairly large Northern on the same line. Six ft. medium action rod.

[@basssindylan]

ive bin fishn dem micro jigs for smallies love jigs got goose bumps watchn this thanks

[@jordans5674]

Gerald Swindle call that the double shindo knot... it’s an awesome knot for flouro

[@AirMcNair23]

one of my favorite way to fish, finesse jigs and a craw trailer.

[@BravoBassin]

I have to say Justin you are probably my favorite one of the googan squad guys I have been following you since before you ever joined those guys. Hope to get to run into you one day and say hello.

[@fishinguy7536]

A Live-Stream would be awesome! I'm sure it's a bit more awkward for the guy being filmed than the audience, but it would be a LOT of fun and super informational for those of us watching! Also, for those of us that live about 1000 miles away, it's the closest we're going to get to ever being able to fish WITH you. Love the content...and that you include the yellows, whites, and crappie catches. Like you said..they deserve attention too. Thanks again, Justin! Keep jammin' them Hawgz, and God Bless!

[@Jking8847]

You’re definitely my inspiration to be a better fisherman. Much love, dude!!

[@nobodynoddy]

LFG, I paused the video to try out the knot, got it right first T, thanks for explaining it man!

[@nickfountain8420]

Learned that knot from a Shaw Grigsby youtube video about 5 years ago. It's all I use. I'm exclusive 12lb flouro on the Big "G". Haven't lost one due to the knot breaking yet.

[@WestCoastChris138]

Yea bro, do a stream for sure!!! Would love that! That’d be the juice fosho!

[@tzapper5755]

Another great fishing video. Thanks for taking us along.

[@mlencioni1]

A live stream would be awesome!

[@fishn_aaron_outdoors4984]

That boat flip, when the fish hit the side of the boat, had me dying and your reaction! 🤣🤣🎣💥🙊

[@seanhert9560]

I love the idea of a live stream, and I enjoy your discussing of technique and gear!

[@tdeeb6359]

💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 vid, LFG!!!!! Finally somebody took the time to explain things to us and do SLOWLY so we can learn something!!! Thx SO much Justin. God bless you and your family!!! 💜💜💜❣️

[@charlesjohnson8805]

The live edition would be an excellent learning video for your viewers. We always want to know and see how you come to the decision of the area you're fishing, the lure, and the entire workings of process.

[@jchris3841]

Yes, I would definitely benefit from a Livestream edition / no edits. Thanks LFG

[@josephsharp5603]

Yes, would love to see a whole day with no edits. I know some days I wish I had edits and skips, to maybe have more success in my fishing extravaganzas.

[@Tyler_O]

Your a great fisherman

[@CuTsKarnage]

That knot he tied is literally what Jimmy Houston calls his "Jimmy Houston knot"

[@shannonbradley2879]

Live stream is a must

[@ethanchmielewskifishing]

The Shimano reel that you used before the intro is amazing

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

I started using jigs this year and they have got me hooked (pun INTENDED). I caught more fish this year on the 1/2 oz Juicee jig with Krackin Craw than any other lure

[@adamcrandall525]

You just showed a GREAT flouro Jam knot. Kinda like the San Diego Jam. I learned it as the Shark Knot by Mark Zona. LFG Knot-I like it!

[@ammobake]

probly the most fun i've ever had fishing was on carolina rig in clear water at Grand Lake in OK. Smallmouth, largemouth, all day. And you would come across these little pockets where it's like every cast you get bit by somethin. The water is so clear you can see the rocks like 20 feet down. One of our family hotspots for fishing tournaments was on the side of the lake across from the main boat ramp. A ways down there are a series of docks that are legendary. I grew up on Oologah fishing tournaments - which is pretty muddy. Fishing clear water just seemed more fun.

[@dizzcasetipp1213]

Hog JAMMER MONDOS lol love this guy! He is funny as hell and gives you awesome knowledge.... keep them coming bud!

[@sethwells5266]

I love how even though you, flair, and rob (sorry rest of the googans) are part of a company that makes bait you guys still use other brands and arent just bsing and give them props when they have a good bait. I watch some guys that wont use nothing but their brand, and talk down on other like brands.

[@billwhite7099]

LFG, why don't you try fishing a tournament? Even if it was just like a local lake deal? That would be some super cool content to see you in full game day mode.

[@newmanoutdoorsnewman5619]

I love fish I go fishing for any thing

[@rogerostrander7859]

The silver bullets lookin fire

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I'm old so like Justin I'm missing the FXR it Rode better, the bird is just faster.

[@tristonstone7303]

Try using a Beatle spin from Walmart there only like 79 cents try them on the edge of cattails bass will hit it all day

[@sethwells5266]

My house was absolutely quite as its 1130pm here, and there I go laughing when he went to pull the second nice bass up and bounces it off the side of the boot 😂😂

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

Was at bass pro and saw they started carrying Googans. That’s awesome

[@shanescott3168]

LFG was fishing in my home lake. We have fished the same spots. Sorry I missed him. Nice catches.

[@glennw9927]

Shane Scott Eagle Mtn.??

[@jamesrosenbaum3083]

Upvote for Bucee's pecan log!

[@kentbremner7828]

I’d love to watch a live stream. Especially if it’s of a body you don’t know so the viewers get to see how you try and break down a lake!

[@franceskayburns2073]

Thanks for the new knot.

[@EaZyE-np1wt]

Thank u very showing me how to tie a knot on a jig..i was just improvising tying knots like I'm a sailor lol

[@bryanhenderson2634]

My personal best 9.6 was a a finesse jig, went straight out to deep water back in march.

[@jmixitup]

3 tag knot is great on braid also! Great Video!

[@ctriche719]

You are the man!!! Love some LFG!! God bless and keep those vids coming! Your vids make my day!

[@5M_plusone]

That’s my home lake there bud. It’s notorious for fishing shallow. Nice you caught some mondos, glad you had a good time. Thanks for the videos.

[@iRace4Life]

Is is Eagle Mountain? What is this lake?

[@trevorbaird1760]

Jigs are one of my favorite summertime lures

[@franksiller4245]

I would love to see one of the googans compete in a pro tournament. Would make for a great video

[@herefishyfishy6907]

7 foot medium fast action on 12 lb coated floro. My favorite freaking setup ever.

[@shawncallendar73]

a live feed would be freaking awesome!!!

[@dvomni3342]

Video idea: lesson on knot tying. Maybe the best 3 to 4 fishing knots you use. I have waited for you to show that knot we see you using but there’s no way I could replicate that one without a dark background or a bunch of rewinding and rewatching. Just an idea for you, take it or not. Keep up the Vid’s, stay healthy, keep casting, and god bless America🇺🇸👍🏼🤘🏼.

[@Balicat1]

LFG, I would love a live how to video,with close ups of knots, casting techniques and screen display reading 📚 tips!! You and Lunkerstv are my fave Googans 👍😻👍🇺🇲

[@curtevans838]

Love watching ya living your best life Justin!

[@fishfever5923]

from 5:55 - 6:07 your graph is going crazy and the bottom is moving like you're in a ship rocking in big waves. To get rid of that you have to go into the settings and calibrate your compass, that will take care of that problem.

[@steel-city1992]

Jig fishing is so fun love the vids

[@phillcrawford1183]

Fantastic commentary, learned a lot, thanks.

[@richardstroud7945]

Yes definitely full day ...good / or bad....just let it fly..!!

[@BernieDiaz]

Enjoyed this one very much. Thanks!

[@johncurphey8421]

You need to go to Sheldon reservoir in Houston. The spring is the best time before the grass overtakes it.

[@mikelawler6100]

Definitely would watch the live feed. Always curious how long others give a certain color a chance before switching.

[@countdowncityfishing9932]

LFG i love ur vids brother keep danglin we need them more then ever down here in texas

[@countdowncityfishing9932]

@David Paul Rodriguez calm down bro im from san antonio a place not known for its fishing prowess but has alot of anglers alot of pressured waters and 2 everything is shutting down again thanks to covid so the only thing cringe about my comment is ur profile pic popping up lol

[@mbnoutdoorsnb]

Honestly love your vids Dwayne lol. I learn a bunch and I see why people love catching LMB. Caught my first one here in eastern Canada, and there is just something about them. Eventhough they dont fight like a smallmouth they are an absolute blast and chunky.

[@silk_yarrum]

Great tips, and great video!

[@jasonpmac1]

I’m a little late on this one, but at the 15:23 mark, thud, “apologize”. That was funny, and I’m mad at myself for laughing at that unlucky bass!

[@matthewbowman9769]

Little juice in the juices here got one

[@ryandelconte74]

I appreciate you and what you do. I've learned so much and truly look forward to each new video you drop. Thanks LFG!

[@russdennis7026]

Looks like a double pitzen knot. Great video brother!

[@kaileygreen226]

Your fishing videos are all amazing, this lake is beautiful, you caught big fish congratulations fisherman. Hug!!!👍🎣

[@swengallagher7526]

Lake Oh Ivie just saying. It's a must!

[@will.isaacs20701]

For sure would love to see a live stream from ol'LFG

[@PescadorTV]

Keep the content coming good sir. Huge Okeechobee shout out to you Mister LFG!

[@normanpotter9931]

Yes lfg that would be kewl to see i use googan baits but don't have any of y'all's jigs or hard baits yet it limited on what baits I get Monday worms, crackincrewl, bandito bug, lunker logs both sizes , i use a gulp minnio 1/8 th oz jig ive learned alot from you young guns.keep them coming

[@Sharpeoutdoors]

A lot of people get nervous about lighter line but 12 pound is plenty good for bass.unless your flipping that’s when you need heavy line. World record spotted bass was caught on 6 pound test dropshotting. Check for damage retie if needed and us your drag.....lighter line catches more fish IMO..... better casting, accuracy, and action, and less visible.

[@andreagasser9216]

Would love to watch you do a live stream one of these days. Can't wait

[@fishingwcp]

Love me some Dock fishing!

[@shaunroberts9361]

Nice vlog LFG.
