i luv how u do the lil circle before u cast so unique never seen one do that before happy fishing 🎣

[@MxRyder19]

WOW ! That bridge and those rocks at your right at 2:36 is def where i would cast. Sometimes ( always ) fish are are right next to you , people seems to think that the further you cast the better but this aint true at least , it depends on what species. shallow waters with weed or rocky bottoms are GREAT to let a wacky pumkin green senko fall. They make hooks that are made to ''weedless-wacky'' mount your senko on the hook so you go through the dense parts of your pond or river. And why is that man 1:53 sound like its god !?! 🙂 Tip:NEKO hooks ( with a longer shank ) is what i use now for wacky. its really like the fish as a popsicle wooden stick to put is lip on before you pull him like its a huge cotton candy at the state fair.

[@Basspundit]

For breaking off a snag on light spinning gear, I recommend that with the bail closed holding onto the spool so it can't spin. Point the rod straight at where it is snagged and walk/ move straight backward. The line will break at its weakest point, usually the knot, unless you have damaged the line farther up. No need for getting a glove or rag on light spinning gear with LB tests under 30 or 40.

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

[@6atlantis]

When you get snagged wrap a rag around your hand or heavy glove, get a good grip of the line and pull until the line snaps. It usually breaks at the knot so you get most of the line back and keep the pond clean. You’re really catching the fever huh! 🎣

[@speddyfeddy1234]

Glad to see this comment up top, was about to say the same thing. PLUS the added chance of simply breaking the weed/branch that you're stuck on and getting your lure back. In this situation I would have also tried walking around the bank to the left side, good chance of the lure freeing itself from a new angle, when possible.

[@kingusmaximus]

ive always just held the spool and walked straight back...most the time you break at the knot

[@AnimeNfish]

@kingusmaximus no doing that will cause your line to dig in the spool and damage the rest of your line on the spool. Its best to always use your hand or waist to pull it

Keep it up. Nobody is born being good at anything. Practice, practice, and more practice brings knowledge and experience. You may make a little mistake here or there, but EVERYONE was just like that when they started and if they say they didn't they're flat out lying. You live and you learn. You had no problem lipping that bass, grabbing that bluegill, or putting a worm on a hook. You're getting better each time, getting fresh air, and also spending time with family. You're living the good life. Tight lines!

Amazing fishing trip! You did amaout there. Keep it up and glad to be part of your journey! I know this lure that I'm about to tell you about alot of people don't use it. I see you using the rooster tail! The all white one is the one that I believe works the best for me. I use this lure alot when bass fishing in ponds, creeks, lakes. They catch everything!

Love your videos. It's nice to see a beginners side of fishing. I started fishing again, a little over a year ago, after almost 20 years. I had never really fished lures back then but after catching my first bass ever on a cheap Walmart swim bait, I was instantly addicted. Now I go fishing multiple times a week and have spent way more money than I care to admit but I'm still learning. So it's nice to watch someone else learning as well instead of all the pro anglers and content creators. It gets a little overwhelming. I find your videos to be a lot more calming and genuine. Thank you for sharing your journey. I can't wait to see how far you go. Keep up the good work and God bless.

[@bemochop4356]

Honestly I fell in love when you said “one!” And proceed too green the fish off the line (most important part) and then proceed too throw it back in the water 😭 with that action I love you so much

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

Great fishing girl, like the way you cast your open face , you do good. Rooster tails are hard to get spinning sometimes unless you reeling them in at a good speed. Beatle spins work just as good for catching fish an they kinda spin aotomatically. As far as artificial worms 7 to 7.5 purple sparkly or red purple sparkly have done me the best over a liketime. An if you ever see fish hitting the top of the water quite a bit there are different kind of topwater popping baits but one called tiny torpedo with a spinner on both ends has been good for me too, you can cover a big area kinda quick but then you can slow it down an just give it a little jerk every 4 or 5 seconds. Sometimes too with big nightcrawlers that have a little weight to them you can fish without a sinker an the worm will sink slower an get more hits sometimes. Fishing is so much fun but can be aggrevating too lol cause sometimes doing all the right things they still dont bite they just look atr it lol. Anyway your doing great. Just one more thing is I always tried to have 2 fishing poles so I could have 2 different baits an if one pole something happened I still had the other. Best of luck fisherman......

One of my favorite baits is a gold headed wollybugger. I used a swivel for wait . Or just a split shot. Ahead. For wait. It's a cool fly.

[@Tempestsphereofficial]

I randomly got recommended your other videos, I could definitely see your improvement! Great job. I’ve been fishing since I was a kindergartner, and now I’m 15. Been doing it for 9 ish years. The more I did it the more I got addicted to it. My very first fish was actually a 13 pound blue cat. I also learned saltwater fishing over the years, and eventually learned to bass fish. Now I’ve got it all mastered. I love seeing others getting out and doing it. (Especially younger people like me since a lot don’t have even the will to step outside) Keep up the good work though!

[@Tempestsphereofficial]

Also a side note: when you get snagged try walking around to different angles, and pulling straight back with your hand over the reel. Try not to do it so hard it breaks, if it won’t come out just use a rag and pull straight back to break it off.

[@sleepiehead]

thanks! i know honestly it makes me sad knowing the majority of gen z don’t have hobbies outside of video games and tiktok. it feels like im calculating the suns mass when im trying to find a girl my age to enjoy the outdoors with. being out there makes all my problems fall away.

When you're snagged on a bank, let line out and walk the shore line toward the snag until your sort of behind the snag. When you tug a snag you set the hook deeper into it.

[@michaelstewart7036]

If you do snag and cant snap it loose tighten your drag to the max point the rod tip to the snag tighten up the line look over your shoulder to protect your face incase it comes back and jerk straight back this way it'll break at the hook and you wont lose so much line

[@pabloaalmada]

just a tip, instead of cutting the line, try pulling it with your hands, it will snap but youll save more line

[@sleepiehead]

thanks for the advice :3 ill be sure to do that next time 🎣✨

[@AnimeNfish]

Another great video! One important tip i can give from this video. Instead of cutting your line just wrap it around your hand (you can use a rag or something if you want but it can damage the line) or around your hip and pull it so it can snap at the knot and not leave any line in the water. Its much better for all the fisherman as it is for the lake/ducks to not leave any line behind they can get snagged on. You are doing great!

Your excitement makes me smile. I don't really have much advice for you today. I remember when I was a kid we'd catch a mess of blue gills with a small hook and a ball of bread. Probably 3/16ths of an inch in diameter. We'd throw a slice out, it would float and they would come tear it apart in a feeding frenzy. While they were feeding we'd toss our hook and bread bait out there and hook them quickly. Good way to win a tournament for the most fish. Don't know if they would appreciate baiting them with a floating slice though. I'll check out your Amazon list

With a snag that you cant get off, what i do is just put my hand on top of the reel holding it so no drag will come out and then pulling your rod straight back level with your line with all the tension just on the line until it snaps. If your weights stuck under a rock sometimes 2 quick snaps of your rod will free it, when you do get snagged dont yank it so hard immediately, a lot of the time i find if you let it go slack right when you feel it, then reposition or slowly lift you can drag it out/over whatever it is. With plastic worms a lot of the time i cut mine in half and then very slowly jig it back, smallmouth along with largemouth absolutely love this. Its also important to figure out what the fish are eating, if its just shad then use white spinners maybe with a hint of yellow or chartreuse. If the bass have red lips then that means they are eating crawfish off bottom so use a worm or a crawfish imitation. Get some braided line too, unlike the rubberband (monofilament) you can feel whats going on down there a lot more. Anyways have fun reading this essay and good luck.

And when you fishing he river look for current changes in the water like swirls on the top. Something that disturbs the movement of the water constantly and try running your baits near there.

The bottom of river looks like mud and silt. 2:52 I usually will move to a place with more growth. Life. 🌲🍀🍂🍃🍁

8:51 if you are snagged and can’t get it out hold your reel so line doesn’t come out and pull straight back so you don’t bend the rod and risk breaking it

[@ocelots4627]

Try this , seaguar red 6lb fluro + swivel + float and night crawler size 10 to 8 hook = blue gill slayer And this other is for trout seaguar red 6lb fluro leader with Carolina rig power bait end and a pinch on back that hook with night crawler it will slay trout badly I cought so many trout and competed don’t forget use size 12 tremble hooks with power bait and size 10 mosquito hooks owner type with tiny pinch crawler you can puff them and happy fishing 🎣

No weight on worms can be a good thing . Let the bait drift to the bank slowly reel in recast and repeat ten times. It works with panfish artificial baits to if the current is right .

Fish don't like pink too much. Try green, black or white for lures. Or just give them a smile with your cute brown eyes to come to you.

[@toanfosho6295]

an easy way to break ur line is to hold ur reel where ur line is at and walk backwards. hold the reel will stop ur drag from engaging. this will break ur line at the hook.

Have you always liked fishing or just now getting into it?

[@sleepiehead]

used to go as a small kid alot with my grandfather (the guy in the video with me) really enjoyed it but he eventually became too busy to take me out anymore so we stopped going. im getting back into it now. :)

[@leroyzehner3513]

I wish I could go fishing with you 🎉

[@johnharris7353]

That's a really nice bass! I'm 180, 000 years old and I only use bait or plastics !

[@Tpm3in1]

I realy like the way you edit the vedios speshaly when u put the Amazon and the bass u fought while u we’re doing your intro that’s pretty legit. One day I’ll get to learn how to do it as well

[@sleepiehead]

thank you! 😇 ive been using divinci resolve 18.6 and have only watched maybe a handlful of youtube videos explaining how to use the software. its pretty easy! id say its a bit more complicated than something simple like imovie, but if you can understand imovie then moving up a notch to something like divinci should be relatively easy. and its free! :)

[@Tpm3in1]

Yea I might have to definitely give it a try thank you…! I like quick tho frfr it’s pretty simple

[@mikxlaj666]

Hey, doing good with that spinning. Have you thought about another fishing method as well?
