Bass Fishing - MTB Slam - If you don't learn something in this video I can't help you.

[@I_Can_Do_That]

Your videos are amazing. I just started fishing last month and I feel like I know more than my friends who have been fishing long before me. And compared to other fishing videos, you are supreme. Keep up the great work. Your videos are both entertaining and educational.

[@francisd2386]

I finally managed to locate the largemouths during summer time in the river I'm fishing. In a weekend I caught what I usually catch in a season, the biggest was 18" (no scale, but solid 4lbs I say) and it's in no small part because of you and your channel. Thanks Gene.

[@Flukemaster]

We'll thanks my friend. I knew you could do it. LOL

[@ww3869]

This video shows why you're the best! Awesome. You don't just show 20 minutes of fast action catches and releases. You explain what you're doing and thinking. Makes the videos much more interesting. Thanks!

[@Flukemaster]

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

[@hmoobluaj88]

only reason why I subscribed. not only are you one heck of a fishermen, you're the only one who kept going on with the mtb slam. keep it up gene

[@billch]

Of all people making KZbin fishing vids you are one of the few who just make a video in order to get your point across; to educate and get out for the sake and love of fishing. And I'm saying this because even though you do not catch fish frequently on some of your recordings, you don't make your videos a bummer to watch. Also you don't put videos through time lapses or only add video cuts of yourself catching fish. Greatly appreciated.

[@av8r1999]

Questions: 1. How long did you fish moving baits before deciding against them? 2. Do you normally fish a crankbait at it's rated depth? i.e. 10ft bait in 10ft of water or do you fish a deeper one as to dig into the bottom more. 14ft in 10ft water? 3. What brand crankbaits do you prefer? Understand if you can't get to my questions. Thanks. Enjoy these kind of videos, where you really show how you break things down. I would rather see you do this and not catch a fish than catch a ton of fish once you found them.

[@kennorman6293]

Gene, it's nice to see that a U tuber that does fishing videos actually fishes and teaches people about techniques. Keep up the great work.

[@alexnulter7837]

enjoy how you take time to teach. I dont wanna watch someone fish, I watch it to learn to fish. thanks man

[@jamesbrown5749]

I'm going to bookmark this video to pass along to anybody I come across who is a year or two into bass fishing and wanting to take it deeper. Good stuff, you spilled a lot of experience into one video.

[@jamesbrown5749]

Back in the day I payed a lot of money for DVDs containing half of this.

[@Flukemaster]

Me too. Heck, I've still got VHS tapes with Bass Pro Shops videos on them. Nothing to play them on but I've got them.

[@CharlieNagoo]

The lighting at 11:40 with the dark background and mist and the sun on Gene is quite dynamic. Nice framed shot.

[@frankaylwardjr4986]

I have learned to bass fish by mainly watching flukemaster! Dude cracks me up and teaches me a ton. Hopefully one day I'll meet you Gene.

[@Flukemaster]

+Frank Aylward Jr Thanks Frank

[@jayrominger]

You are a teaching MASTER!!!! Thanks Gene!!!

[@briangorman2047]

i absolutely love this channel. I just got into fishing and absolutely love it. I get skunked the majority of the time which real sucks and discourages me but everyday I watch your videos and couldn't be more excited to go out on the water. Please keep doing what your doing because im sure your affecting thousands of other than myself. Could you make a video about fishing very heavily weeded ponds?

[@cochrankoi]

@ 9:00 that spot is way too shallow this time of year. Antioch sucks anyways for top water. The Rock point right there is good in late November for schooling bass chasing shad to the top. The bluff wall later in the video - im surprised you got one off of it. Really. Really enjoyed the video! I love seeing your take on a place I fish often.

[@Flukemaster]

They aren't as deep as they usually are due to the algae in the water. Visibility is lower than it has been in years. But the thermocline has dropped 5 feet in the past week and a half. They are deeper than they have been all summer. Now I have to find new spots.

[@rslcgrad1004]

one of your beat videos yet fluke really enjoyed it! thanks man, best KZbin fisherman in my opinion

[@torreyself]

great video. I like seeing how you think through the process of finding fish and work through the day

[@pullingmaster56]

Gene I love this video you just closed a huge gap for me!!! I always said I'll fish this and that I can't wait to try the way you just said!!!

[@randynunez2569]

Pretty cool that you actually use the tackle right out of the box.

[@666Redfish]

Thanks, I learned a bunch about when to stop cranking.

[@hookintoads7096]

can't wait for the shirts to ship next month......they look sweet. just subscribed to the shirt of the month a few days ago!!

[@scottybest]

Reminds me of Greg hackney. Which btw is my fav pro angler. I love your videos. Thank you and keep making them please!! Tight lines

[@firewire8912]

Love your vids. Great education like watching bill dance great outdoors when i was a kid!

[@TheFishingExperiment]

Great advice on how to methodically find out what the fish want.

[@theirishman8455]

Lol, loved the title of this video! And yup, did leaen a thing or two. Livin' in Central Florida the bass are definitely NOT in the mood to chase anything. All wacky or texas rigged pumkin senkos. Sometimes change up to a dark, blue/black jig if I'm havin' trouble. Not many rockpiles here, just tons of weeds and bottom lake "muck", lol. Thanks for the vid, always a good watch!

[@jnelson16701]

I really enjoyed this video. What a great teacher.

[@IntrepidFisherman]

Wow the water you were on in this video was all like super glass... Great look at the MTB box.

[@ShakaFishing]

The water does look amazing!

[@kimdailey6881]

Keep them coming. Everybody can learn from you.

[@AppalachianDroneFlights]

Gene, awesome video. my home lake is under drawdown for the next 4 years for dam repairs (10 feet below winter pool, 30 feet down on average total). anyway, you touched a bit on bluff wall fishing in this video. do you currently have or could you possibly do a more in depth video about picking apart bluff walls? my home lake is just lined with bluff walls all the way around and I have found that they are either feast or famine. I'd love some help on how to be more successful on them. thanks buddy!

[@aaron22778]

Dude this video is brilliant. You're the man fluke 🙌

[@aaron22778]

Fluke 4ever

[@JLSBFishing]

I didn't learn anything. JUST KIDDING!!!!!! Gene you are amazing keep up the great work! Tight lines

[@jj691]

Been watching your videos steady for the last 3 months and have become a full blown fisherman. I've bought 3 different rod and reel combos and have a tackle box full of goodies and plastics. I can honestly say you have made me a fisherman. I have watched almost all your tutorial and technique videos and can say I never cared for it before and now it's all I do when I'm not working or with my family. Although I have got some fish I still can't catch any big bass over 2- 3lbs and I have fished many different locations, any advice on catching the big chunks? And still feel like I'm missing on a lot of bites. Thanks so much

[@Flukemaster]

Thanks man, I'm glad I could help. You may need to slow way down. I fished for many many years before I caught my first bass over 5 pounds.

[@jj691]

+Flukemaster wow that's a sigh of relief. Thanks for the response and keep doing what your doing !

[@TeriyakiBoy]

First time I saw the intro. AWESOME!! And I loved the rest of the video as well

[@BigfellaOutdoors]

I got an Arashi Flat crankbait in mine and noticed it has a circuit board lip??? Does that make it swim differently or dive faster.

[@robbie.a.mfishing2567]

Cool video fluke master you tips always help me catch fish thanks brother

[@XDMStranger]

Maybe during the summer months when the early morning bite is key, you could do the unboxing the evening before so you can take advantage of the morning bite?

[@Flukemaster]

I'm gonna have to go someplace where I don't have to wait till sunrise for them to open the gates. And I opening the night before is something I've been considering.

[@crankedfishing9769]

Great video. Learned a lot. Well worth the watch

[@grantschoonover5116]

So, What's the story on jointed swim/crank baits? I never seem to see them discussed in any videos (and I've watched waaayyy to many vids). Thanks, Gene! Love the Channel!

[@kentbremner7828]

Question about bait caster. My dial on the opposite reel crank side, 0-10. Turn it to 0 when setting up, and then turn it Wherre when I'm casting and what would I change per different lures

[@Flukemaster]

Half way. So on 5

[@leebassington6142]

1rod1reel says he keeps his on 10 i wonder why

[@tleja88]

Another great video Gene! Thanks!

[@dneid29]

Love the new intro! Loved the old one, but new one is cool too.

[@ShakaFishing]

Thought the same thing.

[@h2ofishing776]

What gear ratio do you want for shallow squarebill crank baits?

[@grodriguez1582]

love your vids, never fished for bass. so im trying to learn, maybe u can make some videos of the diffrent techniques on retrivels methods.

[@Flukemaster]

I have one somewhere.

[@baseballdad746]

Anyone else notice at 0:10 that it says February 2016? Anyway, great video, Mr. Jensen! Very helpful.

[@Flukemaster]

Yep, just seeing who is paying attention.

[@yungpostie4489]

Hey fluke. I fish there all the time In my kayak. Caught my 9 pound pb there on a watermelon red flake rage craw.

[@XxRedMambaxx21]

What's the best thing to throw in grassy ponds?

[@duckhunting4life191]

frogs

[@ChuckCooper]

Sorry I know you covered this on drop shotting but I can't find that clip. How do you rig the Hayabusa Spin Muscle Wacky Hooks

[@czykrepublic4323]

"It's a $15 dollar spinnerbait." Are the blades 14 karat gold?

[@Flukemaster]

lol

[@shaunvergara4992]

Your face gave your thoughts away when you said that. lol

[@greg-leftguntersville-ridd9748]

Thanks for the video and representing for KBF.

[@ricardoquezada3109]

What is a good size strike king square bill I have some but I don't recall their size but it may be too big

[@Flukemaster]

I almost always go with a 1.5 first

[@jonathanthomas4768]

love this video. Great content. Where can i purchase that shirt

[@nathanflovin9038]

im here in arkansas for a week it's gonna be raining and cloudy the whole time the water is 68-75° what should I use?

[@mikevincent5260]

Moving baits are a good thing to start with in conditions like that

[@HragOSRS]

Caught February 2016 in the intro. Just lettin you know Gene. Thanks for the videos!

[@Flukemaster]

Just seein who'a paying attention. :)

[@graysonchew7023]

Well what would be your top 3 brands

[@amitchell2009]

Got my first MTB box this month was really disappointed. It's not a pro but figured I'd still get some quality.

[@amitchell2009]

+John Rejniak yeah I'm no doubt going to try it again I was just a little surprised at the lack of name brand baits. They all seemed like prototypes or testers

[@jimmygillespie6983]

Since MTB went with a pro box the normal boxes aren't as good. Started getting them February of 2015 and they were great. Once the pro box came out they just haven't been as good. They don't care about the normal box anymore

[@amitchell2009]

+John Rejniak I love jigs but yeah I hear ya. I got a lipless spinning jerk bait that literally has zero action except the spinner. Also a top water popper that is painted the way a kid would paint a fish. They both just look cheap

[@dannyrbailey]

recently got some attachable spinners for hooks or plastics i think, but i have no idea how to rig them, they have a spring contraption on one side and a spinner on the other, can someone help?

[@kayakbassntexas9749]

jene you are awesome you inspired me to bass fish now im a pro bass fisherman would love to fish tournaments

[@Flukemaster]

Wow man, I'm still not a pro. How'd you do it?

[@kayakbassntexas9749]

+Flukemaster not pro but amazing at bass fishing for a teen , is it a good idea you think for me to fish tournaments in school

[@kayakbassntexas9749]

+John Rejniak I'm just saying I'm really good for my age and was inspired by the flukmaster😀

[@jimbo0411]

Hey Fluke, would a a 7 ft medium with med fast action be better for spinnerbaits/chatterbaits over a 7ft medium, fast action. Also throwing up to 1/2oz with a trailer on it?

[@jacobwilliamson3683]

Man that's a beautiful lake. Do you enjoy fishing in the fall with the tree's changing color?

[@Flukemaster]

Yes I do and this lake is going to be unreal come fall.

[@fishnshack1988]

I dig the slams. good and bad. bad being a tuffer bite with little time.

[@fishnshack1988]

fish on have fun

[@markwilliams5574]

now that's a beautiful lake

[@scottwisker5570]

Thanks for the video fluke.

[@trevorkerber3914]

Lol, this is the type of title you put on a video when the summer has been rough on your fishing

[@Flukemaster]

ROFL

[@amartelly1736]

any tips for jerkbaits this time of year? got one in my MTB pro might just save it for winter, not much confidence

[@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors]

I really like your vids. The reality is... Sometimes you just dont catch nothing! Its reality. I enjoyed this vid more then the typical "bass on every cast (edited) vids.

[@DidISentIt]

Fluke, how would you fish a small, very shallow pond with little to no cover in it? I would assume that the fish would just go as deep as possible. Am I wrong? Here in SC the bite has been very tough with the summer heat. No fish out of my honey hole

[@MarkPolsky]

Always learning! Thanks Gene!

[@Flukemaster]

Thanks Mark.

[@EllaFarrellStarr]

Was this the February box it said February 2016 in the opening sequence?

[@MoonCat5656]

For the spinnerbait, how do you know how deep you are fishing it, or do you always instantly start retrieving once it hits the water?

[@Flukemaster]

I count it down.

[@gonegetmind17ify]

what brand of sunglasses are those

[@austinverderame2100]

that opening was fantastic

[@Flukemaster]

Thanks Austin. I need to have one made that doesn't have the date in it though. lol

[@atlfisherman3413]

Thanks, always helpful information.

[@blakes4469]

Could they have been shallow if you drove to a different part of the lake?

[@Flukemaster]

Nope, I covered that entire lake. It's not very big.

[@basslife7997]

After seeing this mtb box it kinda sealed the deal to go with ltb.

[@cornsnakesplayairsof]

nah in my 15$ box of ltb my friend was jealous because for the passed to months ive got amazing swim baits and his box was just crank baits and worms id say mtb is more angled towards beginners and ltb is toward more experienced anglers that is my experience but I also mostly throw now is swimbaits

[@5280Bassin]

I've got videos comparing the LTB XL and MTB pro. I just filmed the August boxes last night, so I still have to edit it and post it. I'll just say we've been spoiled the last 2-3 months with some awesome baits.

[@LadyBass]

Really? I think that this box was top notch! Guess it depends what the person likes to fish.

[@5280Bassin]

LadyBass Fluke's box had a couple things different from mine. It wasn't a *bad* box. When I get my video edited and uploaded, check it out. The nice thing is, aside from one item, everything in the box was simple and proven, but it's also probably a good 75% of what most people already throw.

[@LadyBass]

yea I'm waiting for mine to come in to compare haha

[@jamesonbrown3502]

Why is it 13 fishing limits the reels to 100 yrds of line?? and what do you think of the concept e reel

[@b-radsoutdoors965]

You can easily change the spool out. I have concept C and I love it

[@Flukemaster]

I've never needed more than 60 yards.

[@jamesonbrown3502]

I am new to fishing thats why i asked thanks man!!!!

[@bcline360]

Thanks gene. Had any issues with it?

[@Flukemaster]

Best trolling motor I've ever owned and I've had both brands.

[@graysonchew7023]

hey i hope that you answer what is your favorite brand of frog

[@Flukemaster]

I don't have a favorite. I use several different brands.

[@oldtexan]

Fluke, you mention putting a trailer hook on your spinners. How exactly do you do that? BTW, great videos!

[@dustinsmartfishing]

Trailer hooks have a bigger eye that slips over the hook on your spinnerbait. Usually come with a small chunk of tubing to cut off and secure the tailer hook on the other. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Hayabusa_WRM929_Trailer_Hooks/descpage-H929TH.html

[@MiloCrackerHead]

loving the vids man keep it up!

[@TheGmAnN83]

I didn't get any of those baits this month. Are the boxes not the same for everyone? I got this selection in my box: Livetarget Yearling Crankbait Rapala Scatter Rap Bagley Sunny B Crankbait V&M J-Mag Jr Worm Biovex Kolt Shadow Tail Swimbait Buckley Lures Flat Top Finesse Jig

[@Flukemaster]

Yep, they send out different boxes

[@legacyeruptt9277]

I live right near this lake you're fishing at. Would love to fish with you sometime

[@jaredwood3092]

Could you make a video on how to fish BIG worms?? I want to try them because they say they are great to catch big bass, but not real sure how to fish them. Thanks!

[@Flukemaster]

[@michaelrusso4151]

I receive the Pro box and I have a question. Why is my bass box have different lures in it than what you are showing?

[@LadyBass]

They have about 4-7 different boxes that they ship out

[@colebraun284]

fluke master - I live in ND and most of our lakes don't have shad... can I still use shad style baits? and you're boat is sick. thanks!

[@hunteryoung5916]

Yes you can use shad baits. I wouldn't personally use swim baits but I would definitely use crank baits.

[@5280Bassin]

Find out what your lakes have. In CO we have spottail shiners in most lakes, but also perch and crappie. Just alter the colors. If the water is clear and your lake has yellow perch in it, throwing a yellow/greenish shad style bait will work fine. My favorite jerkbait on any lake is something chrome.

[@colebraun284]

5280 Bassin' OK thanks

[@jacobfrye7733]

Does line color matter

[@nicolastackett684]

How long do you usually fish a lure without a bite before you switch? +Flukemaster

[@Flukemaster]

As soon as I loose confidence in it I change.

[@bobstigler]

do you every cast lefty...to alleviate possible repetitive muscle use injuries?

[@Flukemaster]

Yes, I do that often

[@christopherquintanilla4987]

Best baits for urban lakes Gene?

[@bmcrider34]

+flukemaster I was just wondering what your opinion is on the the no. 8 tackle blackout vs the One3 fate black in the 7'4'' heavy i can't tell much of a difference besides the grip. It has the same blank and I was wondering if there is a difference in the guides? Either one better than the other?

[@Flukemaster]

Different blanks, Different components, The reel seat on the Fate is made from carbon fiber and the guides are totally different.

[@bmcrider34]

Flukemaster i apologize i meant the one3 fate chrome rides compared to the blackouts

[@austinb4078]

What size motor do you use to buzz you around the water

[@Flukemaster]

It's a 115

[@letskayak6599]

I live in Dallas GA. What is a good lake I can fish. Ps I'm only 11

[@bcline360]

What trolling motor is that?? Trying to decide between the fortrex or the x5 in 80lb

[@Flukemaster]

It's a Fortrex

[@my71chevro1et]

You didn't get around to the Doomsday Reaper craws... do you think that they would be appropriate for a drop shot rig? As a novice bass angler (experienced walleye/ yellow perch/ northern pike), I appreciate your videos, sir.

[@Flukemaster]

If I would have had more time I would have put them on a small jig as a trailer or a short leader dropshot. That's what I was going to do if I had been able to get back out on the lake.

[@my71chevro1et]

Thanks for the reply, sir.

[@tycory4719]

Whats ur favorite shaky head size, fluke?

[@WandWizardLLC]

Have you ever been to Jacksonville Florida to fish?

[@jackbass6633]

That edit in the beginning is sick

[@fc1si997]

Where does MTB get these prices from? You can find each of these for so much cheaper

[@montyrose18]

just a question but is there any good videos on fishing from the bank

[@montyrose18]

+John Rejniak thank you

[@BlakeTB]

Don't feel alone man, I went out the other day for 3 hrs and got skunked... for the first time in the summer, shit happens😞
