Recipe:
Hook: Bass bug hook, or standard saltwater hook.

Work of Art! Really enjoyed that one. I grew up in Northeastern North Carolina, where fly fishing was really popular for largemouth bass and huge red ear sunfish. Your deer hair popper would have crushed the bass. Great job on the video, tight lines!
