Facts I NEVER KNEW about BASS FISHING!! 🤯🤯 // Learning Bass Science from a Fisheries Biologist

Guys, I learn some facts about bass fishing in this video that I never knew before in bass fishing! I got to fish with Mark Sexton, a 20+ year pro in fisheries biology. Mark is full of knowledge when it comes to bass behavior, and I learned so much from him in our time together.
Hope you enjoy this and that it helps you!!

Did this blow your mind like it did mine?? 🤯🤯 Let me know what blew your mind the most! 👇

[@jcbassfishingchannel]

hairs and pores in the side to know current???? 😱👍

[@streetracer33r]

so mind blown that they know the sent of each individual fish! craziness

[@raymaylone8563]

The statement mark made about fish remembering something traumatic for six months if that’s true we’re all in trouble we won’t be Catchin very many fish😩

[@willardshaw1805]

About bass having pores and hair didn't know that

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Isn’t that nuts?? @jcbassfishing

[@williamschneider6811]

Of all the videos you’ve made this has to be one of the top 10. I am 73 years old and have been fishing Bass, Crappie, and Pearce for 68 years of my life and I learned more than any other video I ever watched. I also am in the process of changing my boxes to at least 90% Berkeley baits.

[@nathanhershberger1980]

The eye deal blew my mind but made sense, learned a lot guy's like a walking encyclopedia !!!!

[@bradelder5439]

The Berkley Research Video was Awesome. The information has lead me to purchase a large number of Berkley products. Anglers baits, hooks, line, etc. and more. Quality Baits in the upper price range are still the least expensive part of an angulars overall expense to bass fish. Thanks Edwin !

[@haroldcale4767]

when you fish for a living / tournaments and you tube $$$ you can afford house and boat to fish from. I'm poor and apartment living no boats no house to store one. bank fishing is the only way I can go, but you help with so much info on fishing, that I take to heart when fishing everywhere in KY. Thanks.

[@Jon-hd6fu]

You should check out tylerreelsfishing 100 ponds all bank fishing

[@1ChrisGates]

Evers seems humble. He knows so much that he understands the value of always trying to learn. He just listens, probably can out fish the Berkley Doc 10 to 1 but he just listens to learn.

[@nashdrifter3629]

My observation exactly, Mr wizard is a know-it-all that needs his ego stroked every few seconds and has zero sense of humor. (Ohh I know this and ohh I know that). Lol

[@fishinfool7545]

WOW, EE i'm 45 been bass fishin probly since i was 3yrs old and i have learned more in this video than i have ever learned about that little green fish that drives us to do what we love. Thanks for puttin it out bro, keep em comin. Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn better lookout now😁😁😁🎣🎣🎣

[@williamschneider6811]

This possibly one of the top videos you’ve ever done. I am 73 years old and have been fishing Bass, bluegill, and crappie for 68 years of it

[@danham3344]

Super cool video! I love learning the science of the bass & the different baits. Thanks Edwin for the great content.

[@mikemason4792]

I can't believe I just found this video. I watch every video of yours that I can find. Thank for sharing your knowledge and personality.

[@bradprewitt5062]

What a awesome video filled with so much info on bass it makes so much since now. Keep it up Edwin and catching fish never gets old now matter how much I do it

[@GTX10]

Best type of video on KZbin when it comes to learning and knowing how the fish act, think, etc perfect video from Project E

[@chedburton3953]

Edwin you have quickly become one of my favorite “go to” teachers of this sport. This is an awesome video and confirms why you are as good as you are-never stop learning and remaining humble. By the way, I can’t remember the details exactly but the last time I got to go fishing, I watched your video on chatterbaits with your son, I believe. 10 minutes into the trip I was pulling in a 3 Lber using the technique you spoke of. Thanks

[@EdwinEversfishing]

That’s so awesome - thanks for letting me know! Good to know this channel is bringing value to you 💪

[@nawinchester]

Great video. I learned a ton, but the biggest thing I took away was that bass in one body of water will set up differently than bass in another body of water based on forage. That makes too much sense can't believe it's never dawned on me before. Great stuff! I'll watch this three more times just to make sure I pick up every little nugget this guy drops.

[@johncloud2851]

WOW!!! Keep banging out fantastic videos. Never stop gathering information. Great Job E2!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you John! 💪🎣

[@jdburch7402]

Closest I’ve ever been getting inside a Bass’s head. Loved the info on color, smell, hearing, and eyesight!

[@coreychurchill8889]

Great video again Edwin. I learned a lot from this video. I was glad to know they see green and red the best.

[@evanwhitaker6696]

Well this was the coolest bass fishing video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for sharing this info with us! Hope you can get him on the channel again

[@garybrown4556]

I love the information on colors and scents for different type of fish.

[@coinfisher9263]

This was a great all around learning video. THANKS SO MUCH

[@scottdouglas7612]

Best episode ever. Get this guy back again. I could listen to him all day. So interesting. Love the MaxScent. The. Best.

[@thinbluelinefishing9163]

Edwin, FANTASTIC JOB !!!! This is such a great feature from Lowrance. As a Lowrance Pro Staff, here in OKC, OK. I will be sharing how to use this feature in my seminars. For use on small bodies of water that are not well mapped, this is a game changer.

[@jordaninlow4034]

This is awesome, so much information packed into one video

[@CurrentJAM]

This was amazing! I can watch these types of informational videos all day. Thanks for sharing this!

[@Fisherman_83]

Some great info that I didn’t know. Always trying to learn and your videos help a ton. Thanks Edwin

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Absolutely you bet - thanks for watching!

[@michaeladams7766]

I think you’re doing A great job with this series Learning a lot of new things thank you👍

[@Showmethefish]

Great job E.... keep it up very educational

[@JoseMartinez-su3xi]

Wow, a lot of info to take in. GREAT VIDEO!

[@mikegardiner3934]

Awesome content Edwin! And very good question about memory because we always wonder about that. It sounds like if there is not a “negative experience“ involved (like shaking them off a worm or soft plastic), there’s a higher chance to catch them within the next few days on that same bait. Plus, you’ve probably experienced that many times before too. God bless and tight lines!

[@robpatterson2441]

Great video!! Scilia in the lateral line was new to me! Thx much, 'E'!

[@greggbrown1726]

Very educational; we would enjoy another segment with you & the biologist; maybe some more of your questions and or viewer questions. I talk a lot and I promise you I would have plenty of questions and comments if I had the opportunity you had! Good Job! Keep ‘‘em coming Edwin!

[@BrianFishing]

awesome lessons here! looking forward to more. thanks so much fellas!! tight lines 🎣😎

[@billgibson9968]

I could listen to that guy for hours! As always man great stuff!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

You and me both! Thanks Bill for the comment

[@BrianParkerson]

My question would be to ask Mike, being a bass's sense of smell is so great and capable of memory retention, do they recognize human scent and detour when they come into contact. Should we be careful not to over handle our baits to prevent contaminating it with human or any other scent that may detour fish? I'd love to spend some time in the Berkley research facilities to better understand how they come to conclude their studies. Very interesting stuff! 👍

[@MrTrikai]

I can not remember where I saw this - perhaps a recent article in In-fisherman but I believe their finding was that fish were deterred actually by sun block and therefor if handling a bait would unknowingly deter fish if it was on your hands. My assumption is the same as yours - they can smell us. No doubt. And our fears of getting skunked.

[@zrulz]

as Kaili Purviance mentioned, I don't want to induce human odors on lures, so I carry a box of nitrile gloves in my boat so I can apply sunscreen and NOT get it on fingers and palms. I do dab or tap the back of my hand on an area of my arm where sunscreen is applied to get some protection on back of my hands (I can't get use to fishing gloves). Bill Dance said the back of his hands are severely sun damaged because sunscreen technology was not very understood in 60's, 70's, and 80;s.

[@dominiccianciola3185]

@@zrulz wear uv protection fingerless gloves. They are really comfy

[@dbender3644]

They have spray on/aerosol sun screen. But I recommend using neck gaiters, they also have long sleeve light material with built in UV protection, same with shorts and pants. Just do an online search. I use this gear and never put on sun screen.

[@greyhunter9287]

Glad I subscribed. This is great content sir and helps clear up a lot!

[@numberonenole4590]

Awesome video Edwin!!!

[@JohnnyJenkins]

*Question for Mark* Can you recommend a book or author or textbook to do research on forage like crawfish, frogs, bluegills, bluebacks etc?

[@AirMcNair23]

I do the same thing with a ned head, and just add a longer worm when the river smallies want a bigger meal. Great information!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching Scott!

[@chadsnyder301]

One of the most informative Videos Out there.Thanks from St Clair Shores Michigan.

[@timbrown8509]

Awesome episode!!

[@ivanradi4275]

Very, very good episode. A lot of things started to make sense now. Knowledge is power, and not a lot of people is willing to share it. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Absolutely that’s my why behind this channel, to help people get better. Glad you’re enjoying it Ivan!

[@randymcgee9176]

Thanks for the great video. You are the best teacher I’ve seen so far

[@EssentialOutdoors]

Edwin, you need to have this guy on your channel often. I love learning this deep science stuff on bass. Great Vid.

[@nolanwilliams2622]

One of the most informative videos I’ve ever watched. Definitely subscribed to this channel now! I wonder if the bass memory/reluctance to bite the same lure again is due to lure type or lure color or both?

[@timothytoomey5430]

Great video!! Thanks! I learned a lot about bass!! Thanks so much for your training video's.

[@laelrudisill1183]

Great stuff Edwin! Really interesting to hear from the "researcher/Lab guys!!" Looking forward to your swimbait coming out later this year.

[@daverice8304]

Super informative - brilliant to interview someone who is a scientist with Berkley and has a MSc in Fisheries Management! Thanks so much for the video.

[@philtarbox8256]

Incredible!... I learned more about fish in this video than all my years on the water... Thanks!!!

[@sneakyandroid6887]

Wow! Great stuff!! I'd love to spend a day fishing with both of u guys 😊

[@BlueLineFishing]

Well I've been bass fishing now over 40 years and I'm not to proud to say I learned a ton from this one video. Never knew bass had hairs, that their sense of smell is better than a bloodhound and the list goes on. 25 minutes well spent, thank you and do a part two to this video!

[@mikefranz6820]

Guys, humans have a sense of balance from the cilia (hairs) in our eustachian tube in our ears. That is why when we spin around a stop suddenly we fell dizzy and unbalanced. The cilia continue in the original direction for a while.It make sense that fish a a way to sense balance and movement.

[@richiewilkins]

Man this is so cool! Thank you for sharing this! You make it exciting just by the interest you show in it.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I’m always learning new things about bass! Thanks for watching Richie, glad you liked it!

[@thatarkguy]

best episode yet sir! keep ‘em coming. great series

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you Eric!

[@raymaylone8563]

Edwin by far your teaching abilities are the best. How about making a part 2 and fish a river system. I live minutes from the Ohio River and would like to know Mark’s thoughts on max scent and power bait in moving water.

[@jstrawser2389]

Yes, please help us out here on the Ohio River. Maybe even do a “lake” breakdown on the Gallipolis or Belpre Ohio pools.

[@garysanders5052]

Great stuff EE, I’m learning a ton watching your content. After watching you and Larry I was able to remove a treble hook from another Anglers hand. It was the first time I’d ever done it, although he didn’t know that! 🤣

[@bonesdad2046]

That was a great episode. I'm like you, fished for 50+ years and didn't know the lateral line had hairs. Thank you so much.

Fantastic as always, Edwin! Fisheries biology is a fascinating topic. In my case, applying it to fishing and the management of a few family farm ponds is icing on the cake. I look forward to trying some of your pecans as well. God Bless from Southwest Georgia!

Man that’s a completely new perspective to catch fish. More about thinking and seeing like a fish. We all know pumpkin is a staple in all our boats, but I guess I’m wondering now when the fish go through the periods when they just smash a bright yellow or bubble gum swimming worm or Senko. Wonder what color they are seeing then? Keep these great videos coming.

Edwin, I can hardly wait for each project-e you post. There has not been one time I have not learned something new from your videos. Your guest went over several great things about the bass like what colors it sees best. Do you have any idea or Mark why the berkley flat worm works so good? Does it having a flat area really make a difference? Again this was a awesome video. 🎣🐟

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you for the kind words Mike! That’s a good question too - we will get back to you about it in a future video!

Mr Evers all round great video. Did not know they could smell individual fish. God Bess US of A!!!

[@TheJTTaylor000]

Like many Subs on this channel I’m sure I am a Sub on many many other fishing channels. We learn things from each one or we wouldn’t give those channels any views. I’ve watched this particular video several times. Shared it with a few friends and with my fishing club. At first I thought “oh cool. That’s a pretty good one”. But the more I’ve watched it the more I realize what it’s done for me. For me it has tied together A LOT of the other information I’ve received from the other informative fishing videos. Most of them tell you how to fish this lure and that lure. Retrieves, depths, water temps ext. With what Edwin has given us here we can now start to (along some other things) understand what and how they are interpreting what we are presenting. Thank you Edwin and Mark for so freely sharing your professional knowledge of the sport we so deeply love.
