Best fishing videos on YT... thank you for not just being a 15min expensive gear advertisement

[@oldmanbassfishingarizona5706]

Johnny I watched this video a year ago, a time or two since and again now. You offer the best descriptions of anyone. Hope you make it to Arizona some time. Fishing here seems harder. More time looking in all the wrong places, more effort, less bites. With 100+ degree temperature plus 80+ degree water and fish going deep any little tidbits to find fish helps. Can’t catch em if ya can’t find em. Thanks.

[@PKClark-qw5oq]

#1- When I meet you, I’m gonna give you a hug....#2- When I get a tandem kayak, I’m gonna schedule an on the water trip (you have to go!) #3- This is the best sonar/relation to boat video on You Tube. Thank you!

[@ouncesthebasssnatcher5255]

Well done as always! You have been one of the best things to happen to the bass fishing community and KZbin for sure! Keep up the stellar work and best of luck to you in all your endeavors👍🏾

[@MrTiopy]

Finally, a video that makes sense to me.... Thank you Jonny 🍺

[@zachgingrich1736]

Great information and very in depth. I like what your doing and I always take the time to watch every video. I love fishing the drop shot, it's caught me a lot of fish, every little bit of info helps. Good Stuff.

[@FishOn1]

Excellent, comprehensive lesson. Thanks! I completely agree on the FG knot. It takes a little time to learn, but once you do, it doesn’t take that long to tie. I have never had it fail!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

This is fantastically helpful lol. 👍🏻 Appreciate the video!

[@msueirro]

I've watched many bass fishing videos. None are as informative and excutable as yours. After one of your videos I feel I KNOW HOW to do what you've taught. Thanks!

[@dueys3]

Your videos are amazing! So well explained to novices like me! Thanks!

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

This is the best an most informative video I have seen on KZbin. I am so excited about our Aug 16th trip. I took pages of notes for my fishing trip tomorrow. Incredible work and knowledge. THANKS Jonny for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@hankypanky9380]

This is the best and most informative video I have seen on KZbin, love the way you explained is very helpful and understanding...... thank you , greeetz from Holland-Amsterdam...cheeeers

[@denisberger5386]

Thanks man. Unbelievable info. Love following your videos as a new tournament fisherman, and drop shotter. Keep em coming.

[@Dlezman_fishing]

thank you for such a thorough explanation!

[@scottvaughn686]

Thank you for helping me catch my first 2d sonar bass today. The best part was your video convinced my friend to finally back off the bank and give it a try! By far the best videos on the web. When finances are straight I'll def join and donate to the cause.

[@TheGnthreman]

Thanks for the simplicity of this video

[@johnshirley6988]

Really enjoyed this video. Just bought and installed 2 hummingbird Helix 8's, the bow has Mega Imaging built into my new Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor. Keep the lessons on using your electronics going they are totally awesome.

[@stuartcarter944]

Well that was pretty cool. I watched your video, went out on the lake (LOZ), found some fish, and caught them just like how you said! FIRST VIDEO GAME DROPSHOT FISH!!!!!!

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I will say this happens to be the best explain and most thorough video on the subject that I have seen. Thank you for your time and eat information!

[@jujuandjoel]

Absolutely excellent content!

[@envylures5770]

Dude you are straight up the best man!! Can’t thank you enough for all this hard work an details and just ...thanks you man thank you

[@blkgsxr04able]

You make some of the most helpful videos on youtube.

[@berks8260]

Very insightful, a big help! Great job!

[@butchpeyton2469]

Another great video by the professor

[@diggy561]

I hope your channel keeps this format. I don't even have a boat and I'm watching this. Be one of the go to guys for great info, almost everyone switched to vlogs.

[@stripersniper1531]

Great content.Just stumbled on your channel and you have some very good knowledge of these sonars.The tip about yellow color on fish marks was we’ll thought out...brilliant !

[@nj_angler_kjb]

Very informative video. I'm just starting to fish deep utilizing my fish finder and this helped a lot.

[@charleshinckley4175]

Awesome videos finally got some clue on the use of my fish finder Will be glued to watch more videos Thanks

[@SilverMt.]

Thank you. I got a used boat and it had a 10 year old fish finder and now I know what I am looking at and how to set it up. may the force be with you.

[@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote]

Your comment is kinda old but to do this kind of fishing, IMO, you are actually better off buying an old used high end graph then the weaker "consumer grade". The cheaper ones don't have enough power to watch your bait much past 20-25' (unless you have big weight on bottom for better ping return). Many times in heat of summer, you will want to be in 40-50' of water....at least on Table Rock. Spots will set up 30' in tree tops over 50' of water. Also if a thermalcline sets in summer, they can be 35ish feet.

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Great information, I just purchased my first Helix 7 MDI Gen 3. I'm looking forward to learning how to use it. Thank you for sharing

[@carolemcconnell4651]

Yes, that was a good explanation.this will help, thanks for showing how to read a depth- finder in- part ...will watch again to learn...

[@bobbreckenkamp4641]

EXCELLENT video!! Please keep em comin!

[@coreywinston2403]

Lot of great info man, just watched 3 of your videos, thank you

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Incredible!!! Thank you so much!

[@CrazyBoutFishin2380]

Fantastic video! Great explanation and presentation on how everything works. This video had to take a lot of work to create. Appreciate the effort.

[@sirronbailey3109]

School is alway in section with you. You help the common man!!!!! I have look at this more then once. Thanks

[@yesdeere1376]

You have fantastic videos man. Thanks

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

learning the electronics you have will help you catch more fish! I use mine mostly for ice fishing and i catch 75% more fish in the last couple years vs when i didn't own one. I also map out lakes in the open water season which has really helped my catching rates!! Great video, keep making them.

[@georgiabowhunter]

Excellent demonstration, thank you!

[@riverrunful]

Excellent video! I have learned so much from you!

[@drh488]

Thanks for the vid, learned a lot! Thats a great idea to give lessons! Wish I had someone near me to do that! Best of luck and thank you so much for sharing!

[@danf4616]

Great video! I fish Table Rock and this is very helpful.

[@felipell]

Priceless...as usual...

[@dee_b_wildin]

WAAAAAAAAYYYY helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make the vid:)

[@alexvincent9414]

Fantastic freaking job on the video!!!!!!

[@bafarrell82]

This is really great information. Thanks!

[@e.cabanjr7511]

That was easy to follow and informative. Thanks!

[@jasongiangregorio7055]

Good stuff man. Keep up the great videos.

[@jims383051]

Thanks for making these videos.

[@joehunt9275]

Thanks buddy. Great info. Understandable

[@verasuncion3956]

Wowawie!.......Kudos to U......the BEST video Tutorial I have seen so far!......Thanks a Lot!....will be seeing ur other videos too!.....Liked, subscribed, and bell notification ticked.

[@powellajosh]

Excellent presentation! Thank you

[@bgrigsby1889]

You have the best graph videos on KZbin

[@holypokey47]

Awesome video. Very good informational video.

[@tomroberts6315]

Great video. Thanks. I did get a laugh at "straight squiggly lines"

[@dongabbard8021]

Wow...........Thanks for taking the mystery out of fish finders

[@williamisaac8228]

Awesome job man!

[@octaviofuentes7781]

Thanks brother appreciate all the info fish finders sometimes can be hard to understand

[@bobosterday3350]

Great video! I do the same method on the Missouri River walleye fishing. The only difference is we use jigging raps! Sometimes it helps to go to 83kil instead of 200 to find the fish then switch to 200 to zero in on them. Especially in 20-40 feet of water!

[@rogerscheuermann4409]

So much information, I had to watch it again. Not monster fish but some great eaters. I cannot wait till you show settings on DI & SI. That is my problem, I cannot see the fish which discourages me from offshore fishing. Teach me Professor, ready to learn more. Really need help with settings. Keep up the great job!!!!!!

[@texansnstros]

Thanks!!! What a great video. I just found your channel, and I was up WAAAYYY too late watching them. You really do make high quality content that's very helpful. If you were in TX, we'd be connecting for a lesson. I want to get my son on fish as often as possible to create those memories. If you have any tips for getting kids on fish (even if they're small), I'd love some tips. I live on Stillhouse Hollow Lake in TX. Thanks again!

[@whatsmudding4838]

This video really helped thumbs up 👍

[@azconag]

Excelent video! you should put the lateral ruler to see at what depth you are fishing!

[@Labyrnthdom]

Best video I seen so far

[@kingkong-xy5pd]

Great video brotha.. learned a lot

[@jasonpierce1118]

Your smart fella!! Thanks bro...

[@MrJrh458]

This guy has an excellent video but responds to nobody's questions.

[@GmanfromTexas]

awesome video thanks! If I had seen this video before I would have avoided 20 other videos and save time

[@gpaffy140]

Wow such a helpful video. Very well made. Deserves good credit. FOr sure!!!

[@mikeemberson2843]

Best video yet

[@toad465]

Yep, been doing this with an X70a since the mid 90's. I'm only findung your vids now, because I am considering upgrading to a SI/360, active eventually. Oh and my X70a draws arches at a much slower speed than your saying it takes. Any movement for a few feet from trolling motor will catch them, if they are mostly stationary. Good vid keep it up!

[@djboogiejay1616]

Excellent!

[@canatek]

Amazing video, keep it up

[@Range-X]

Very good tutorial. Central Okie here, its cool watching you fish some of the same lakes. What rod/reel setup are you using in this video? Looks like a good balance

[@raymster8450]

Thanks for the video. Just now found it, but great info. Yes, I hit the subscribe button.

[@johnbutler2231]

Johnny, thanks a ton for all the information you have and are putting out, I fish from a kayak would you change anything?

[@joeturner1195]

Great job thanks you do a great job of explaining and showing others how to fish

[@joeturner1195]

Thanks

[@joeturner1195]

Thanks

[@duanteanderson6498]

Great video!

[@1fisherman106]

Hey Jonny, livening your videos, they always help my fishing, by the way the T shirt with the fish arch on it GRAPH N, is pretty sweet, how can I get one?

[@jbarker258]

I'm going to have to try this with my kayak

[@turnerbarksdale3144]

Could you do some videos that you fish tournaments in? Also, I love your videos, keep up the good work

[@anthonyjessicaguerrero8287]

This guy is a legend

[@nathanielmedici7877]

Awesome video

[@chrisduffy2737]

[@lonniehall9006]

Great video

[@tedsell1455]

Great imfo Thanks 🇺🇸

[@lstaples007]

Yeah! FG knot, I know you'll break it down right... good info sir👍

[@Rolaids65]

Thanks alot Great Video

[@LowellFrancisco]

Good tip!😃👍

[@ztemde978]

Love your videos. Have you ever thought about doing a video with Cole & Jay? That would give you even more exposure.

[@Mdillon81]

Just watched this for the first time. Did you ever post a video on the knot you use for your leader to braid? Great Video by the way.

[@computerguy1724]

Bro, I have to give it to you...you are pretty good.

[@justinshedaker1229]

Can you do an in depth video on just 2D sonar? I plan on getting a better fish finder but 2D is plenty for my kayak. Also keep up the great work and in depth videos. Much appreciated.

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

The Young Jedi Master Angler has done it again!

[@dragonli1863]

Good job!! excellent! when you apply 2D sonar instead of down imaging, vice versa. thanks

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

Just found this video from watching your other video try to learn how to fish a dropshot more efficiently

[@azurwth01]

I fish in a hobie kayak and I found this to be one of the best ways to catch deeper fish I dont have a trolling motor to hold my spot. I have to use pedal drive which gives me the ability to video game fish and troll with my graph

[@dirtydogvideo]

good stuff

[@ralphwitt9975]

I live in NW Indiana. Wish i lived closer to you would do anything to just go out and get a hands on lessons on using my new solix 10

[@paoyang1409]

Love it
