[@stevecollins1506]

Great video and here is why: you get straight to the point, no bs and hesitations, your speed is quick but not so fast that I have to replay segments which is awesome, and you covered 4 different fish, where and how to fish them, live bait, fishing rods, lines, hooks and lures in under 6 minutes. I love it. A+++ and thanks!

Man, I just found your channel today, and I have to say, just 5 minutes of you, teaching the basics, gives me way more confidence than hours of watching other famous youtubers. Your videos feel like honest info and spot on. Thank you for sharing this!

[@tpreid2392]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a complete biginner at 62 and can't wait to catch my first fish!

Fantastic information. I have been fishing about 3 times in my life and just with friends who set my stuff up for me. Never have they given me this much information in the hours of fishing I have done with them that you have in 5 minutes.

[@chealzb2518]

Great video brother. This covered it all on a not so short but not so long video and kept it interesting from beggining to end and it’s all understandable. Thanks for posting and for your effort you’re putting on letting beginners know the basics. Congrats on the vid again bro. Happy fishing

[@omegaman1409]

Nice tips. I recently got motivated and renewed my fishing license. I needed a refresher.

[@jaebeam]

Thanks for this. My toddler is crazy excited for fishing opener this weekend. I haven't been fishing in over 30 years, so I was looking for something a refresher. Will be hitting a few docks on Sunday's family run.

[@andrewsdroneservices350]

Best beginner video out there! Huge niche out there for beginners! You were concise, gave all relevant information and didn’t use complicated terms. Told us the pole set up, kind of fish/were they hangout and how to get them. THABK YOU!!

That was damn near the most informative fishing video I have watched to date, great job!

[@nono89199]

I caught my first bass yesterday with a worm! Which is August 25 2019and I also caught my first perch yesterday with a worm! So I casted out my rod with a worm on it and I caught my second bluegill ever in my life and then I released it and then 15 seconds later I caught my third ever bluegill and then 40 minutes later I caught my first perch, 13 minutes later I caught my first bass! I caught all of them with live worms! Btw my very first fish ever that I caught was a bluegill, and I went fishing for the second time ever yesterday and thats what I caught

[@Horner181]

Been fishing my whole life but you brushed me up on some things that I just haven’t thought about in a while thank you very good and informative.

A full hotdog or a peice?

This is definitely the weirdest thing ever but yea I guess a hot dog could catch any fat ass things attention

[@g4g3_k95]

hot dogs are very good for catfish i was fishing at a river some people left a full pack of hotdog we used them all and caught 20+ catfish because of how we broke up the hotdogs

Been watching so many fishing videos the last couple weeks- this was the best one. Hell of a presentation.

Great video young man! Im fixing to return to fishing and just wanted to check out some "refresher info." I feel absolutely ready to go out and pretend I know what I'm doing! Thanks!

[@mexica5150]

That’s awesome to know. Thanks for the tips. I’ve been fishing for a few years and have had some success but nothing major at lakes here in San Antonio. They always seem to be fished out because few people catch and release. I’m really starting to get into bass fishing because it looks more like a finesse type of fishing. Your tips will help. Thanks 👍🏼

[@chriskunsak5426]

excellent video... I haven't fished since I was a little kid and have forgot most everything. I'm sure I'll watch this one a few more times. Thank for taking the time to make it!!
