How to Locate and Catch GIANT BASS! Guaranteed-Garmin Live Scope

[@BNOOutdoors]

I've been watching Jimmy since I was very young. I think I still have him on old VHS tapes. Lol Great to see him on youtube.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

I really appreciate that, BNO. Thanks so much and Welcome to this channel. I believe you will enjoy it! God Bless! jimmy

[@jeremyperry5777]

I got to fish with Josh last year for my birthday and i still text with him when we are able! Incredible guy! Garmin expert at the max! Watch a lot of your videos to! Would be awesome to visit with you on a lake one day! Actually dont live to far from Arbuckle! God Bless!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

He’s a great friend and really good with that unit. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@MattKahla]

Wow! Nothing like the ol humminbird flashers back in the day. These Garmins are essential in tournament fishing and a fun productive tool for everyone else. Thanks for the demonstration Jimmy!!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They are special. So cool to be able to see What’s out in front of the boat! Thanks. Godspeed! jimmy

[@donaldrohrer5214]

Great video Jimmy!!! I'm a Brand Ambassador for KastKing, and this video really helped me decide on the Livescope to add to catching those big bass. Thanks. Tight lines!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It’s an amazing tool. I sure enjoy mine. Thanks. God Bless. jimmy

[@wendyc.5769]

Great video Jimmy!! I didn’t realize how sophisticated these machines have become. Fish on for you and for me!!!

[@joewinkler2168]

Wonderful video Jimmy. Thanks for clearing some questions I had. Do more on Garman

[@paulscarberry1788]

im not as fortunate as you to have a boat jimmy but you know im loyal to your channel both of them. take care god bless jimmy

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Thanks so much. Paul. I appreciate it and appreciate you. Lots of great fishing to be had from shore! Has a great day. God Bless! jimmy

[@northeastkentuckyoutdoors6455]

Great job explaining , thanks for sharing your experiences, opinions, knowledge, scriptures, your second to none. I can’t wait to get one of these units.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They are really something, Casey! I’m still learning every day and we have been chasing Huge fish offshore! But in shallow water, they are incredible and being able to see what’s down under, in front of the boat, is amazing! Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy

[@haroldhatcher1239]

I love watching fishing with the Garmin Live Scope. Great video. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. God bless you Jimmy. 😎

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It’s pretty amazing. Not finding many of those big ones out in open water right now. Maybe after the spawn and in the fall. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@skunkedagain]

Great job for an ole timer to use new technology. 😁. Thanks for sharing Jimmy

[@howcroft22]

Kids an animal. Id kill to have half the skill josh has. Must be a blast to do what he does for a living. Love catching em on my livescope, but it’s not as easy as he makes it look!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It’s a whole new ballgame, but still lots of skill required. Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy

[@martinallison8719]

I'd love to spend a few hours on the water learning from a guide! Mr. Houston I'm sure rootin' for you to get that state record!! I ran 'birds for years, and they are good units but I really love my Garmin. That Livescope takes fishfinders to a level I never imagined. Great video! God bless yall!!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

The Humminbird units are great, but right now the Garmin Pan Optik LiveScope is definitely out in front!! All the electronics are amazing to me. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@ripplinredfin]

Ha ha, I laughed hard when you caught that fungus eyed bass and wouldn't give it any "sugar" before you released it. I think Jimmy is awesome! Been watching him since we both were young. Keep on fishin"

[@TwinEagleRanch]

That one was bad. Lol. Thanks for hanging with us all these years. Welcome to this channel. May Bod Bless! jimmy

[@jenky1044]

That was a great show. I wondered how those new fish finders worked. I'm excited, my new Camo Legend poles came in. I can't wait to try some of your fishing tactics. Thank you Jimmy and have a blessed day.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They are awesome, Jenky. Good luck with your new poles. God Bless!! jimmy

[@johnlittle1884]

Jimmy the live scope is great .fishing lake Welch in Texas we fought 80 plus in about 4 hours in 25 ft of water drop spotting 3 to 4 plus pounds .

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Wow, that’s super. I love that story. A game changer! God Bless! jimmy

[@brettbelcher425]

Awesome info and video as always Jimmy. U have been a fishing idle since I was a kid watching your shows All the advice of what u have learned is great. That was crazy with the infected fish at his eye and u said no sugar for you! Lol I was thinking the same I wish u had something to put on that infection before letting the fish go! U are an awesome person Jimmy

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Thanks so much, Brett for those nice comments! I appreciate you hanging with us all these years! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! jimmy

[@kennethlangston7508]

Awesome info on the optics thanks Jimmy God Bless.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Thanks, Ken, it’s sure still a learning process, but I’m gaining!! Loll. Godspeed! jimmy

[@tradinghouseDesignCo]

Great video Mr. Houston! I've had a @garminlivescope for three years now and haven't tried to use it like that on largemouth. I have on Hybrid and White bass and of course Crappie. I will definitely be trying this on my home lake very soon. Keep up the great content.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They are schooled up right now, and some big ones are Swimming around together. Pretty awesome. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@BrianAz]

Fantastic! I remember the first time you called it video game fishin', pretty close to that and I cannot imagine what the technology will bring us next? I wish these were available when I got my boat. Thats ok, when I need to replace my electronics I will have to make better decisions! Awesome!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

As I learn more about how to use it, things should get even better. Don’t even look at the other one that much up front and leave the back one on LiveScope so whoever is in the back can watch also. Pretty neat. God Bless! jimmy

[@grhodes3536]

Thanks good video. Need to learn my new Garmin and this will help me get started. I've heard the trail helps you track better where the fish is going.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It does for sure. The Garmin is one of the easiest to learn. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

9.11 is a TRUE GIANT! Congrats JIMMY!#RippinLipsInc

[@lonniehall9006]

Another great show, have seen so many yawing the gridlines, which is just in the way and not needed. Noticed you had yours off also. From Kentucky

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Really have it set up pretty simple, but I have a great teacher in Josh! He’s really good with one. Some of the really top pros are getting really good as well. I fished with Scott Martin last Sept and he’s really on the upper end of the skill range with that unit also. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@ericlong2215]

Great quality bass,that 9.11 look like she was ready to drop eggs soon.. Thanks again Jimmy...😊

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Yes sir, still a little while off, but probably should have brought her home and given her a new lake to swim in!! We did move an 11.76 over here the other day! She should make some pretty babies! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@jamesburke5709]

Hello Jimmy this was an interesting video about the new technology on the fish/deepfinders of today's world it wild what they can do to improve the quality of fishing in these tournaments too now all I can say is whow here it's amazing how they have changed since in the early days of the fishing years here too have a great day now and I'll be waiting on the next one here too thanks

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It is pretty amazing. I know that anyone who tournament fishes needs to learn as much as they can about em’!! Just like everything else. Some will become much better than others!! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@jimmeeks2632]

Great informative video jimmy! Happy Easter

[@randywilson6869]

Oh yea Josh is the man.... right behind u sir

He’s really good with the units, Randy and a great friend!! Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy

Great video Jimmy

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

Awesome Jimmy!!! Love the video!! Blessed

[@M.D.G.Fishing]

Jimmy you need a livescope transducer and graph mounted at the captain seat aswell so you can livescope on the move with the big motor aswell.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

I have it connected by ethernet to the one in the console. I can idle and look! It helps some for crappie. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

@@TwinEagleRanch oh ok, yeah I see. I should have known, you are the master Jimmy. Getter done. Yee yee!

Great video I like it

[@janosczovek8524]

Lovely video Jimmy we are still under lock down so no fishing 😟

[@TwinEagleRanch]

We are fishing every day. Kinda enjoying this but it is costing us a lot of money! God will give it all back, plus some. Actually ate fish last nite, that we caught the day before! Find You a creek or pond or river and chunk that blade!! God Bless! jimmy

[@phillipmorgan1614]

Which Garmins do you have? I don’t have the livescope but I have the echomap 93 Sv’s. Would be nice to see how you set up just the graph.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

I have the Echomap Ultra 126SV, Phillip. Actually have them set up about the same! This is my first experience with Garmin and I’ve mostly been trying to learn LiveScope. May God Bless! jimmy

[@phillipmorgan1614]

Jimmy Houston Outdoors very impressed with livescope on your video tonight!

[@charlesronk2989]

My boy caught a 9.8 bass in Michigan a month ago. He owes me some credit because I lost what I believe was the same fish two weeks earlier. He caught it about 100 yards from where I lost a giant and was only fishing there because of what I told him. Maybe I need a live scope to best him. Just bought a Garmin fish finder, but I need a new trolling motor with spot lock first.

[@DitchPickler]

Shouldnt the wire for the transducer be in the back towards the prop? The diagram in the garmin manual shows the wire in the back

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Yea, for the back transducer mounted on the transom, but not for the one mounted up front. The power wires should be separate running Back to the batteries. Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy

[@KYTVIDEO]

Do you turn your prop off prior to scanning from left to right and back to left?

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Most of the time I don’t. I scan a lot! I’ll take my foot off the button to rescan and zero in on a fish or group of fish I see! Thanks. God Bless!! jimmy

[@bakervinci163]

Great video.

[@300zxdriver]

What size screen do you have on live scope?

[@TwinEagleRanch]

12 inch on my Ranger and 10 inch on my Tracker. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@tylerfish6206]

Good luck on the record

[@mikepiekarski7903]

Looks like a great way to fish jimmy. But I don't mind catching dinks all day then out of no where get a biggen. If I had a boat though I sould definitely buy that unit. Good luck on your quest jimmy. My pb is 12.2 less than a pound off the mo state record. Doubt if I'll get one bigger. Never know though right. I just love to catch em now.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

That’s a giant. 12.2. Most folks have never caught a 10 pounder. I’m kind of like you. I like to catch a bunch with a big one throw in every now and then. We have passed the best time to get a giant, the way we were fishing, ,but lots of big ones up shallow now. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@BobSellersSings]

Jimmy! That's cheating!! 😂 Seriously, very cool. I still haven't learned how to find fish on my old Lowrance!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It is pretty much cheating, but catching those huge bass that are moving around is not easy! Takes a great deal of skill and patience! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@steveking8548]

Why do people think they need to learn how to use their old equipment before they move ahead to new equipment? If you haven't learned on your old stuff, that's all the more reason to get the Garmin, isn't it?

Hello Jimmy it's Bill how are you hope you're doing fine hope again everyone else doing fine at home Jimmy I must comment what an awesome and phenomenal video really instructional and just absolutely fantastic Jimmy s the first familiarization that I'm getting with the Garmin panoptix that is one phenomenal system absolutely awesome and Jimmy I must say you did an excellent job on instruction and explaining the entire unit as we would say piece by piece phenomenal thank you Jimmy this is been one great video as so are the rest of them of course LOL good to see Josh out there he's looking good and good to see you guys had a great time out out there and what a nice catch 9 lb 11 oz wow just think Jimmy homemade 5 oz of way from 10 lb LOL okay Jimmy if you come up with anything extra on those panoptix that would be pretty awesome to see and to learn I have learned quite a bit just by watching this video with you explaining it detail by detail and the boy with a phenomenal system I'll tell you Garmin is really doing well with things okay Jimmy again I appreciate the video I appreciate you!! And all the time that you put into these videos thank you again Jimmy and again it is appreciated definitely talk to you soon Jimmy and God bless you and God bless your family

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Thanks Bill, it really is an awesome unit. It does take a lot of practice to get as good as Josh is at recognizing fish and knowing exactly where they are located in relation to the boat. Also they move a lot, so you have to pay attention to which way they are moving and how deep. Then you must keep your bait above em’!! Even when you do everything correctly, many of em’ will just follow the bait and not bite. Some will even run from it. But it’s a great new way to catch giant bass. Thanks have a super day. May God Bless! jimmy

[@bakervinci163]

I hope you have up graded your soft ware, since. That would drive you crazy if you had to go to settings each tine to changed forward or depth.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

That was last years Vid. I change it on the screen. Thanks. Godspeed! jimmy

[@howcroft22]

You can use the +/- buttons and the update obviously allows you to just use the screen now.

[@robertmartin265]

I hope you do catch the state record. I have about 40 Texas records Not any state ones. Try Okie lake Jimmy

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Biggest was 11.76 and we moved that girl here to the Eagle!! Probably have to wait till winter to have another shot, but you never know!! Lol. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@offgridwhitetails8768]

Pan optics is much easier than traditional IMO

[@kellybelanger5836]

Do the bass move in to shallow water and make their spawn beds by logs or rocks

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They do make their beds in shallow rocks, behind boat docks, by logs and under trees! Close to someplace they can run and hide, when threatened! Great question. Sonja! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@kellybelanger5836]

@@TwinEagleRanch lol. Bass run and hide. Haha.

[@troymotter7422]

When you do catch the state record bass be sure you take it home to your lake to release it 👍

[@TwinEagleRanch]

I sure will do that. We moved one to here a couple weeks ago that weighed 11.76 and plum full of eggs. Pure Florida bass, I believe! Should make some great babies!! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@kellybelanger5836]

Poor bass with one eye. I hope he is gunna be ok.

I recently bought one of your rods lovin it so far if you had to guess how many bass you’ve caught in your life throw us a number

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Not enough. Jack, I’m sure of that! Lol. In the 13 years we had this lake here at the Eagle, before the dam broke, we had caught over 83,000 fish here. That’s not just me, that’s counting what my friends and family caught as well. And of course, many were recycled! So. We’ve caught quite a few in our many years!!! Very Blessed!! Hope you enjoy the rods, I think you will love em’, especially if you catch a bunch of fish! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

R u selling them ? I would like to get one on my kayak and would like the small monitor plus cheapest one. What do u recommend if u want u can message me

[@luketilley9137]

Catching the State Record would be Awesome! What is the current record in Oklahoma? I know Mississippi is over 18lbs. Here in Colorado it's 11 something. Maybe I have a chance? 9lbs and 3ozs is my biggest so far. Gonna have a replica mount if I ever get to the 10lb club?! I think these old Mann's snakes have a chance!👍 Have a Blessed Day Brother!🙏🕊🐟🐋🦃🦌🇺🇸

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Wow, 9-3 in Colorado is awesome, Luke. Believe I’d have a replica of that one made!! Our Okla record is 15 something. Not sure exactly. If I just beat my 13-1 from years ago, I’d be thrilled. We did catch a 11.76 a couple of weeks ago and moved her to a new home here! She sure should produce some beautiful babies. Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy

How to set your garmin live scope

[@bakervinci163]

If you tighten the forward to 20-25 feet, you might see the fish that you could not see on the tree.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It does definitely magnify it when you look closer. We mostly run at 40-45, but will move in to 15-20 and out to 65-70. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@randywilson6869]

I want to see what a big catfish looks like on it

[@TwinEagleRanch]

The big spoonbill that are 10 Foot long or so are impressive! Josh has a great vid of a 10 Foot aligator walking on the bottom. Looks just like an alligator walking on the bottom. Lol. You need some separation from the bottom to see really well. Catfish hug up to something most of the time!! Makes it harder. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@bakervinci163]

He might have just been attacked - the one with the “infection”

[@stevedingman474]

9.11 is bigger then anything I’ve ever caught 8.3 is my best bass

I have like a big bass curse outta state lol I think 4-5 pounders is all I have caught... maybe Oklahoma my son lives down there now ! Fire fighter and a county road worker maybe he will have some ponds to fish lol !

[@lindapetersen1800]

God's Blessings to you Jimmy but if a female is in a lower area she is laying her eggs then she moves so fast it is like grease lighting for you to catch I know I love to fish at spawning time always catch a lady full of eggs then I let her go back to the spot I catch her!!

[@TwinEagleRanch]

They do move fast, Linda. Www ere fishing these bass before the spawn. Now that they in in the spawning areas, we really can’t see them on the LiveScope. You are so right, gotta turn em back and let them spawn!! Thanks. May God Bless! jimmy

[@upthecreekyt]

I want livescope, and I don't want it at the same time. Seems like it would make it too easy and just ruin the challenge of fishing.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It’s a big help bit it’s not easy! Still a real challenge to catch em. We’ve been able to find them for years and still have a hard time catching them. Lol. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

[@BrownfamTV]

If you know how to set up livescope then you most certainly can see bass in thick grass and brush.

[@TwinEagleRanch]

Can’t see them all the time! They still Need to be suspended and the grass needs to Be tall enough to separate the stems! You can easily identify that heartbeat movement. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy

This crap takes the fun and talent out of fishing these days any computer nerd can be a pro bass fisherman. It should be illegal in tournaments I watched an entire tournament on bass live where a guy jerked jerk baits into the sides and foul hooked bass after bass and won he never hooked one in the mouth of course not you jimmy we come from the days of the eagle depth finders with a little red light that showed depth and that's it 🤣

[@TwinEagleRanch]

It’s technology and will Only continue to get better! In BASS you can’t weigh in a bass that is foul hooked that you are looking at. You must hook the fish in the mouth and verify that with your Co Angler or Marshall. Don’t know about the other tournaments. Thanks. May God Bless!! jimmy

@@TwinEagleRanch for sight fishing yes sir you're correct however there has been no adaptive rules for live sonar. Patrick Walters almost won at lake fork this past season and only hooked one close to the mouth. Times have changed still love yah Jimmy!
