Fishing with Underwater Lights

We join two friends on Lake Eufaula (Oklahoma) as they show us how to fish using underwater lights. Fishing at night gets them out of the summer heat and into schools of feeding crappie and sand bass. With thousands of prey fish swarming to the underwater lights, the anglers catch black crappie, white crappie, blue cat, channel cat, sand bass and even a drum. Learn from these experts and try it yourself!

This guy is so inspiring, he has overcome doubt of people who thought just because of his hands he couldn't do things like other people, where as he really blew past everyone else and really set the bar.

[@tadpoppin4817]

Gamer65 ForReal he's so well spoken! Wish him the best.

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

Don’t let him fool ya, they went home because they ran out of minnows! There’s thousands of bait fish one foot from them the whole night and those are EXACTLY what the fish are eating on a daily basis

[@tadpoppin4817]

Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.. Very well said.

[@jamesgoodman6845]

do not feel dry for him he doesn't feel dry for himself he is an inspiration to us all mad respect sir would love to go fishing with u anytime u are a role model and a hero I look up to you now thanks for being an awesome human being and for the kick as$ vid

[@jeffnaron8209]

Can you share who makes the seats used in this video? They seem to be just sitting on the deck. I need some like these.

[@bryonfrancis1757]

Little Forrest Gump Jr. Lol nice video 👌 you remind me of Forrest the way you sound

[@desert1cop]

Take a umbrella net and never run out of bait when you use lights,the bait is never to small.

[@michaelbarrett9061]

I dont watch fishing shows but the production and editing of this is really well done. You deserve more subscribers.

[@chrisfalcon9109]

u dont watch fishing shows but this is well done so with what are u comparing it to?

[@neolancer005]

Would working jigs and spoons be effective for fishing with lights? I gonna apply this to pier fishing in saltwater this summer. Great video!

[@kylelynn7615]

Joseph Torres it’s best for minnows we fish with lights and when we run out of minnows we go to jigs but it doesn’t work nearly as good I recommend just spending a couple of bucks on some minnows and you will really pleased this tactic works amazing we catch about 20 crappie about every hour

[@AlexandreSilva-vq5zm]

I see a lot of rude, offensive people leaving responses about this gentleman that has learned how to live with this disability. im ashamed for you fucking idiots. Sir I hope you don't read these awful comments but if so most of us are very supportive of you! these Fucking idiots were raised wrong. my respects

what a jig that white bass

[@printicemcglory349]

Great video , we’re did you get the 4 pole holder stand?

[@redred3144]

I do the same thing at Lake Eufaula but we're fishing 69 bridge in 50 feet of water we've had so many rods yanked overboard and a lot of fish caught

[@demauryepennington9932]

best video of catching crippie

[@SQLKC]

Good content

[@okwildlifedept]

Thanks for watching!

[@josenarvaez5338]

Would a 24” light be enough light for my boat?

[@gracelozan0]

That's what I was wondering

[@JoelMannerino1]

props to the guy with the hand disability.... learn to do what you love no matter how you do it. like my bud we call Wheelz, he has no legs, lost a soccer career due to meningitis bit he still stands

[@bakervinci163]

How in the world did you run out of minnows? I just get minnows from the lake

[@SugengHartono]

Why using green light? Please explain!

[@SathishKumar-yy7nn]

underwater led fishing lights company where in India

[@Stangstunna]

I made myself a green led underwater light for salt water. It puts out 7k lumens. This light attracts more then just fish in salt water. My light is a must if you want great fishing at night. I swear by these tactics.

[@samlee2562]

mermaids?

[@stewartdahamman]

Where did you get the plans for them ? Or how did you do it? I want to build a set myself and would appreciate the help

[@thomasolson7447]

Plankton reflect green light. I think NASA is messing around with light somehow and can make plants absorb green light, but if it's not a space plant, red and blue are the way to go. Or is reflecting the light the goal? To make them more visible to the predators? I think you need red and blue light to attract them, and green light to make them visible if that's the case.

[@Francois_Dupont]

isnt mooring on a buoy illegal?

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

Just curious why you don't scoop bait fish right out of the lake. Much cheaper and you can fish until you've had enough or got enough.

[@mr.inspector8251]

illegal, you could scoop out bass and catfish and other species

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

BS! Only illegal if you keep them! I've caught Bass in a net in front of a Game Warden, picked it up and tossed it back and got a nod & thumbs up!

[@garzaglass]

What I don't understand is why they don't catch the shad and use those instead of minnows? One cast net throw and the would have free bait all night.

[@TheCSFriendly]

They are fishing for crappie, Crappie bite more on minnows rather then shad. If they wanted catfish then the shad would be the go to.

[@Arnoldj1979]

Because shad are really hard to keep alive in a bait well or bucket (threadfin) Minnows are hardier and stay alive much longer. Otherwise your right, shad is a natural forage for Crappie. Ever see crappie suspended under a bait ball on your sonar? That bait ball in the middle of the lake is shad obviously =)

[@huckfinsfishingguideservic8730]

Jesse Arnold you are absolutely correct. I've used them for bait and they work very well. But they don't keep well and you need the right size for crappie.

[@stupidman9774]

Chuck Williams Most of the time, stupid is what stupid does not do.

[@harleybright2797]

I’m with you guys shad are hard to keep alive but make hella good blue cat bait cut up or flat head alive I like bluegill also

[@humsupsex]

08:22 Nice portable toilet!

[@haroldcale4767]

Where can I buy these under water lights..?

[@Branson4fun]

How many hooks are legal(per pole)(per person)? How many fish per person are legal?

[@joe84ca]

+Edward Drew Where ya at?

[@patriotcatfishersofamerica7985]

Do catfish come around to feed on the fish that come in to feed on the small bait fish?

[@iwantosavemoney]

Patriot Catfishers of AMERICA. Yes it is a interesting the way it works the light draws in bait Fish and the game and a consecration of fish attracts bigger and bigger fish.

[@kylelynn7615]

I do this and catch about 20 crappie a night and we usually fish for 2 hours and run out of minnows and minnows work best

[@t.j.stonehouse5416]

chuck Lidell's brother .?

[@bgdesignandsolutions]

That's not a blood knot, it's called a dropper loop. Still, a good video on what you're doing.

[@anonymous_friend]

What hooks is he using?

[@terrydharris5731]

you boys need to use those shad for bait,they work beter too.

[@jasonmrenfro]

are you allowed to tie up to buoys like that?

[@okiefreemen]

no, surprised a guide did this on tv

[@jasonmrenfro]

ya I was gonna say that's probably a safety hazard.

[@richer4poorer]

How deep do you run your lights and do you hook them up to the batteries that run the rest of the boat? How long before they run them down?

[@Bongwater33]

what sportsmanship! why not just throw a stick of dynamite in and scoop them up?

[@RussellFamilyAdventure]

Can you catch fish here like this year round?

[@noobjitsu1743]

Shane Russell pretty much i guess you can go under the ice too?

[@sterlingpenrod6875]

What reels were you guys using

[@sicilianchiangchang7320]

Pencil case 32', Tech sheeper 144' (I would say about 81'), Cio 9' for temperature.

[@capnchip]

Nice video....too bad we can't see what was done!

[@rogergoodwin374]

Only reason we had to quit fishing was boat started to sink.

[@tonywltrs]

Are you trolling or anchored?

[@anonymous_friend]

trolling with 8 rods side by side. yeah right

[@CriticalErrors]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAW!

[@TheFoxygrandpa69]

grow up people....i bet his wife loves them. Keep fishin bro

[@deeannpookie450]

Isn't it against the law in Oklahoma to tie up to a marker buoy?

[@encodedagent1484]

+deeann pookie Only mooring buoys, which are white with a blue band 3/4ths of the way up, can be tied on. Anything else is illegal under the "Obstructing Navigation" section of the Oklahoma fishing codes. www.boat-ed.com/assets/pdf/handbook/ok_handbook_entire.pdf

[@deeannpookie450]

+EncodedAgent Thank you for the information!

[@laurentdubot2402]

Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

[@josephauld6565]

Is sand bass the same as white perch?

[@okwildlifedept]

Sand bass are not the same as white perch. A sand bass is another name for a white bass (Morone chrysops). White perch (Morone Americana) are actually a member of the temperate bass family, so it visually has many similarities to a white bass, but they are not the same thing.

[@grimmreapo655]

light fishing is illegal in canada. some places even ban lures with lights. I had some deep divers that had flashing lights in them, and i had to always check the guide at every lake to see if they were allowed.

[@terrybogarde4749]

Grimm Reap

[@kylecarrington8989]

yeah lol unbelievable this is legal anywhere,but then again the states are full of lakes that are essentially infested with crappie, bass and perch....and really, in many cases they are invasive fish. ruined lakes, essentially. in that sense.. who cares.. might as well catch as many as you can

[@maryclouser3748]

we can use them here

[@haroldcale4767]

I can't bite my line like you, no teeth. LOL...

[@masongreer7875]

I think he has cerbal palsy don't hate on him

[@HuntGuy101]

Called green lights

[@okiefreemen]

Those bouys are not designed to be used as a boat anchor.. "it is illegal to moor or attach a vessel to a buoy"

[@aidenperdue4655]

okiefreemen that's wrong m that's a mooring buoy

[@maryclouser3748]

not here it aint

[@rustykeller8264]

I think it is a Federal offense to tie up to any kind of warning, or Navigational buoy. I like the type of green lights you have. What are they?

[@tom10720]

Does anyone know if it's legal to use lights in FL? I can't call Fl, fish and game until tomorrow..

[@garethclark3007]

I live in florida and fished my whole life, as far as im concerned its perfectly legal

[@tom10720]

Gareth Clark Thank you!

[@VyvienneEaux]

Did you know that the solubility of oxygen in water is inversely proportional to the temperature of the water? Colder water dissolves more oxygen, which is why there are many bloodless fish in arctic regions.

[@bakervinci163]

Vivian Tristesse I did not know the math, but knew that there was less o2 in hot water. So what is the best way to apply this? Is it simply to fish the thermocline?

[@VyvienneEaux]

Baker Vinci I’m no fisherman but I have noticed that on hot or sunny days, the fish tend to be at the bottom of the lake. On overcast days, fishing from the shore seems to be more successful (with a beginner setup at least)

[@bakervinci163]

There is no doubt that a drop in pressure increases the activity of all animals.

[@rociovillegasmartin9897]

The leader has zero stretch to it kzbin.infoUgkxOnWw4BwVtrW450xWozo3OpVX4931NDw5 which is expected from a wire leader. Can’t test the quality of all the snaps yet but packaging was nice and neat and I couldn’t get anything to happen when I pulled on it.

[@charlieragland8268]

It is illegal to tie to any type of navigation bouy (no wake, hazard, docking bouy). I understand it makes things easier as far as an anchor goes but that's a safety hazard and a guaranteed ticket from the game warden. Nice fish though dangggg

[@davisdunnit-ud5lh]

what about his arms, dude is just a regular person, I know for sure he could outfish me

[@chrisfalcon9109]

he must be a great deck hand

How to deplete the fishing stocks,,,’ we keep a cooler full’,,, no reason for this, OK has no bag limit? 25 per person would be plenty.. Good video though, thanks for sharing...

[@DeeTheBomb]

hmm never done underwater lights

[@abbyzhang1011]

***** why not have a try?

[@DeeTheBomb]

my broke ass cant afford these things now cus cars too pricey

[@abbyzhang1011]

***** Eh, it looks small... is it expensive? How much

[@ToponechoiceFishing]

Abby Zhang Not expensive, very reasonable in price. You can find it from here: www.toponechoice.com/

[@jamesgoodman6845]

sry* not dry lol

[@ihateboybands50]

4 poles out at once, wtf lol, should get on top of the fish more you would need only 1-2

[@XaViEr3520]

ihateboybands50 yeah never understood why people use 10 rods (sarcasm) I usually use 1-2 rods 3 max if I'm going to do multi-species fishing

[@maryclouser3748]

u r a joke. more u use. more fish u get

[@JaredDavidson]

Called spider rigging. To each there own.

[@bakervinci163]

Explain that to guys that win most of the crappie master events. You won’t understand spider rigging until you do it. “It” is much harder than you might think, but it’s an excellent way to figure depth and correct color. I have livescope and will still spider rig. It’s just another method.

[@topcool101able]

How can i create one?

Go look at kipkay KZbin channel his last video was on how to make one

[@YOAownageYOA]

you are a real piece of shit, here is someone who has overcome their disability, and is still able to be very proficient at a sport that is basically completely dependent on hand and arm dexterity, be grateful for what you have, I admire this man for doing what he does with the barriers he has. Having a physical disability complicates life significantly, someday when you decide to grow up and have a different outlook on these things maybe you will understand, until then I feel sorry for you.

[@wyliefreakincooks4819]

what hands

[@danielduvall8708]

Never heard a drum called a sand bass

[@pajhuab83]

Not a drum bro, it is called a white stripped bass

[@thellisbad723]

what he calls sand bass, were white bass...i fished for them every spring in the rivers above Santee-Cooper until the White Perch put them out of business...if you ever see a white perch kill him, they eat fish eggs and fry and travel in packs...when the school moves through, nothing is left...

[@JaredDavidson]

@@thellisbad723 White bass and sand bass are the same species. Just different people call them different names. Just like the Flathead catfish is called yella cat by a lot of people in the south. Also called shovelnose by some people to the north, apaloosa by some.

[@scottsmith6571]

I caught a 2lber in my back yard

[@alex1321ful]

What s up with ur hands mate no offense I aint trying take the mick

[@ulrichbergmann1347]

Sport-Fishing and be an Angler is different. Thats why it is forbidden using light to attract fish in many countries in EU and USA. U seem to be all nice guys in the video but catch fish this way should be history and not celebrated.
