Which category use for fishing channel ???

[@robthereelist]

Fantastic tips. I've been using a chest mount for my GoPro but tomorrow I will be trying a hat mount for the first time.

[@TUFFBASS]

I’m so happy that you found the video. Helpful! I love using the hat mount for my camera because I feel like it gives a view as the best experience as long as you aren’t looking around like a madman!

[@tomislavmarinic4923]

@@TUFFBASS Sometimes watching videos from guys that have a hat mount camera makes me nauseous. Especially if they move their head a lot.

You already know I needed this one ☝️

I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hopped it helped!

[@ivancibrev2675]

I like this video. You leave the impression that you are honestly conveying your own experience. Until recently, I had no intention of making a KZbin channel. After watching the video, I was inspired. To be honest, I will try. Keep up the good work.

[@TUFFBASS]

You just made my day! Yes I am speaking from experience and I will make a follow up video soon going over some things I have learned. Thanks for commenting and I am happy I was able to inspire you, you got this!!

[@danaparks8812]

Thank you for this video. It's probably the most informative video I've seen you put out so far since I've subscribed. I personally really haven't seen any of your previous footage before my subscribe date, but I would have to say it's probably exactly what I needed to hear. I've heard a few things from other people basically stating the same thing to go out there and just do it. I do have a plan to start once I'm able to get around a little better and out of this disability I'm going through, but that probably will not take place until early next year. I really wanted to do inshore and deep sea fishing however just to get out there and get my fishing experienced upped, I started with bass fishing only. I happen to live in an area that is really versatile for both, and I definitely have an interest in purchasing a kayak and doing it that way as well. You once told me that you don't do anything with social media. I'm seeing though that a lot of KZbinrs have Facebook groups and put their videos on there as well, and swear that it actually helps the monetary end of having a KZbin channel. Keep on doing what you're doing. I wish I knew your first name so I could call you by at least. I appreciate it bro, keep on with the informative videos, and if you get a chance to actually talk about how to stuff, I'd like to see more of that on your channel. There are some really super informative bass fishing channels out there that sometimes I get lost in translation with because they're not doing a practical application as well. A lot of times they just talk about how to get the lure down to where you want it, that kind of thing as well as how to fish in certain places compared to others, that sort of thing. I haven't really seen too much of that with you so far I'm hoping you'll get into that kind of thing in the future. God bless bro!

Thank you for the comment and I am glad you found the video helpful. I am still learning when it comes to fishing so I will definitely be sharing tips and tricks as well as how to videos as I learn. Also the name is Jared! I don’t mind people knowing my first name. But yes if you ever have any questions please reach out and I am glad you are enjoying the content. God Bless!

Great video and you have inspired me to be more confident and creative in my channel going forward, talking to the camera with people around is still tuff but im sure i will get more comfortable with it over time, Im from the UK and would love to do some fishing in the US some day. Take care.

[@22veteranflyfishing]

Good video on how to start a fishing KZbin channel. I have been doing this for a bit now but still struggling to make better videos. Where do you get your music clips at? I live in Texas, but I love to fly fish and go after bass with my fly rod. However, I get an even split of bass and sunfish. I want to get better at doing videos.

[@TUFFBASS]

You can do it! Thanks for commenting! I get all of my music from art list. They have great music and I’ve tried epidemic sound in the past but I didn’t like their selection. You got this! Just keep trying to get better every video you make!

Hey man great video do you think you need a mic if you are recording on a go pro hero 12

[@TUFFBASS]

Go pro audio is not great, but it works. I use the Osmo action 4 and the audio out of camera is incredible! But when I had a GoPro I used the DJI mic and the media mod but it would always overheat. Thanks for commenting!

[@TUFFBASS]

Thanks! I hope this video helped out!

[@porterwyatt15]

yes, but another solution to the battery for the GoPro is to get a portable power bank and connect it straight to the GoPro and have it running the whole day works great for me.

[@TUFFBASS]

I definitely agree, but that does not work the best when it comes to having your GoPro mounted on your hat. I can see this being a great solution on a chesty Ormond to the elsewhere, but I do a lot of kayak fishing, so I believe the cable would get in the way if I had it hooked up on my head, thank you for the comment!

[@AaronsFishingAdventures]

My main issue is forgetting about turning the go pro on lol. 5 carp last time I went out and more than half of them I forgot to record. 😂 Another thing is here in Ontario Canada, a lot of us have to be multi species anglers. I would love to be able to base my channel around Bass but our regulations sadly prevent me from fishing them for 6 months out of the year.

[@TUFFBASS]

Dang dude yea that is a bummer! But I am Actually planning on doing more multispecies and outdoors content as a whole and branching out. Trust me it gets old when you go fishing for bass only 5 days a week to get some content! Consider subscribing if you aren’t yet!

[@BenFishing.]

Nice video man, lots of useful tips ! I just started my channel and I already feel overwhelmed haha These days I'm wondering if I should create content in english or stick to my mothertongue (I'm french) what's your take on this ?

[@TUFFBASS]

Hey dude thanks for commenting and I am so glad I could help! Honestly I’m not sure about the language thing. If you are in America it is probably best to stick with English, but KZbin will eventually release a dubbing feature using AI to allow anyone to listen in any language you add to that feature for those videos eventually. So it probably doesn’t matter.

[@un4givenlife697]

!!!HELP!!! Hey Ive been procrastinating for about a year now about starting recording I need to just get out there and start but question is the GoPro hero 9 still a good starting camera set up

[@TUFFBASS]

Hey dude yes just get out and make some content! Anything works when you are starting and you can upgrade down the road. I started my channel with a GoPro Hero 9 and it works, my only complaint is the overheating, but as I said you can upgrade in the future

[@Esco456]

@@TUFFBASS cool thanks buddy really appreciate the reply and I asked about the hero 9 cause it’s in the description area lol

@@TUFFBASS I keep blaming my lack of starting on that I don’t own a GoPro lol but I’m more nervous than anything but really wanna do it

[@TUFFBASS]

The nervousness will go away! Go check out some of my first videos I made and you will see a huge difference in on camera presence. Also if you want an action camera get the Osmo action 5 pro hands down the best. GoPro is ass.

[@Esco456]

@@TUFFBASS will check out those videos now and again thanks for the info and reply also gonna look into that camera now was gonna buy the latest GoPro but gonna do some research on the camera u recommended

[@RiverFish_Fishing]

Great video 🔥 Subbed man 👍 I have 2 quick questions, if you can help me out I'd appreciate it. 1. About to buy that GoPro you mentioned, will I be easily able to know when I need to change batteries if needed? 2. If I wanted to edit the footage on my phone, can I just transfer it through the GoPro app onto my phone? How would I transfer each battery onto it?

[@TUFFBASS]

Hey I appreciate the support and welcome to the family! And to answer both of your questions honestly I switched from GoPro to the DJI Osmo action 3, and I do not plan on going back to go pro until they upped their game. The DJI camera has way better audio so that way if you do not want to invest in in microphone you’ll get much better audio out of the camera plus the mobile app is a lot better and you can transfer files from the mobile app to your phone easily. It also notifies you when your battery is at 10% I believe with a certain noise

[@TUFFBASS]

I also do not regret switching from GoPro to DJI, my GoPro would overheat a lot and had a lot of issues and apparently most go pros do

[@coda35]

I want to make fishing video on youtube but can you tell me when we hook fish mouth or worm or live bait and it full of blood is that ok with youtube for make money . Or it no rule . And if it has can you tell me some thank😊

[@TUFFBASS]

I believe that is OK with KZbin, I am not sure how it affects add revenue, but keep in mind that you make a very small portion of your money from add revenue. Hopefully this helps, but I haven’t run into any issues with it.

[@coda35]

@@TUFFBASSso you can make Money on fishing with no rule on KZbin . i want to use my phone but After i saw your video i should buy GoPro 9 for video it easy for fishing alone and thank you for your advice

@@fishinwithforsytheyes technically so he makes money off ads and some videos he has sponsors ad revenue is money that comes from the ads that are in the videos you watch each view on the video and ads he has on his videos he gets a certain amount per view which makes him money so he probably makes a good bit off just the ads in these videos and if he has sponsors he will make more
