[@marcuspiera]

How bass react to boats would be interesting 🤔

[@davidraguse2106]

I second that

[@normanwiggins1320]

I would like to see that also

[@FiciousCritik]

Good one. maybe ... Lure-entry reactions, splashdown, no-splash entries, skipping entries, etc. A dog paddlin by? 😁 (It happened!)

[@brandonshofner5806]

I agree.

[@sliqwille]

Also would like to see. Before I went lithium for my starter battery, long tournament days would drain my AGM and I would finish the day out with the big motor idling. Crazy thing is I would still catch fish. Just wonder what effect (and how many fish were missed or spooked) it had.

[@srsykes49]

Bass reacting to trolling motors, big motors, and electronics would be very interesting.

[@davidraguse2106]

@@srsykes49 I second that

[@Whatsinanameanyway13]

Would love to see bass reactions to various electronics (2D sonar, down/side imaging, and forward facing sonar). I know these are probably hard effects to isolate, but there is a *ton* of misinformation out there about fish reacting to various sonar vs. just boat presence/trolling motor noise/etc. Would be really interesting to see idling with sonar vs. trolling motor with the same sonar for instance on deeper bass.

[@jackdixon4530]

Your content is excellent! No problem with you choosing!!! 🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Awesome thank you!

[@robertbrost7777]

Steve, there are 2 things I'd like to see underwater footage of. They are my 2 fav techniques: the drop shot and a swim jig. I'd like to see footage of a drop shot worm which has been casted out, not dropped over the side of a boat and how the bass reacts to it's presence in the water. In particular, I'd like to see how the bass reacts to dragging the worm slowly, how it reacts with some shaking/activity and, how it reacts to the worm dropping after being held taut. I'd also like to see if the worm stays horizontal and actually looks like a swimming bait. The second footage I'd like to see id how a bass reacts to the swim jig being cast out, allowed to fall and, then stroked firmly off the bottom. I think the reaction you'd see from the bass after stroking the swim jig would be fantastic to view! Thanks.

[@davegwiazdon8450]

I love all of your underwater bait/lure footage. Having the super slo-mo will make it even more valuable. It'll probably help all of us slow our retrieves as well trying to make those lure dance better. Keep'em coming....and thank you, because I've learned more about bass fishing from your videos than all others I've watched combined.

[@chugaaa]

Well I guess the real answer is going to be all the above, we depend on extraordinary people like you that take the time to share this amazing content with us so I would leave it in your hands what do you think is the best. Thank you again for investing in this we will do our part by liking, sharing and of course watching all your videos.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you! I appreciate all of you!

[@1MrVillain]

I would like to see how bass react and eat top water baits for sure! Love the content Steve, Thanks

[@FamilyFishinFun]

Your camera work and explanations were already second to none and anything extra is just a cherry on top. You are one of the best channels to help teach my wife and daughter more techniques and help illustrate why we do them. Keep up the great work and thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@gospideygo8781]

Would like to see the normal and slowmo on bass eating Senkos, Jigs, Ned Rigs, Shakey Heads and DropShots. Love to fish these and want to be more informed on what the bass are doing to judge feel and timing for hook sets.

[@denisschanberger2325]

It would be interesting to see how a bottom (texas rig) bait reacts in various situations (ie. long rod lift vs. shorter rod lift distances; pegged vs non-pegged; creature baits vs worms; etc). I guess comparing various things. loop knot retrieves vs direct tie retrieves would be good.

[@amulrich1]

I would love to see how bass are set up on different pieces of structure and cover.

[@wackyrig]

Awesome, Steve! So much potential cool content with this one. flatside vs round crankbaits trailer action eg chunk vs grub vs flapping line size effect on action jig head size effect on action rod tip position and movement effect on action hook and split ring size effects bass body language

[@Norman-bone13]

Love to see bass reactions to lures when they’re 5-10’ away. What got their attention? How they approach bait and strike. Like a largemouth responding to a fast moving crank bait w/sudden stops. See underwater view of bass approaching and attacking topwater lures would be very helpful. Thanks Steve. 🎣 👍🏼

[@erichoffman2014]

Love your content! Thanks! It'll be great to see whatever you pick.

[@TWC6724]

I’m good with anything you do Steve. I especially like the underwater bait presentations. Not enough manufacturers do that. And the soft plastics act differently based on different sized weights as well. So much to cover 👍. Appreciate all your videos.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I really like the different weights aspect. Thank you!

[@ralphspoerl1400]

Nice info: I would suggest (if anything) How lures go though various cover at different speeds. Milfoil, pond weed, cabbage, grass, etc.. thanks!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Great topic!

[@jennyontheroad8240]

Love your work, this is the best, most relevant bass fishing channel on KZbin. Would love to see the following, if possible: 1. How bass react to the presence of a boat with and without the trolling motor present (what is the impact of the trolling motor and distance from boat to fish). 2. To take it step further, how bass react to both 2D and forward facing sonar. Do they know its there, or do they ignore it? 3. Possibly a study on retrieve speed and "reaction strikes". A lot of your videos show bass and prey species like bluegill just floating around in the same area together. Wondering what activates the bass into predator mode. Thank you for all you do!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

These are all great ideas!

[@pdfahie]

I love any underwater content. How lures react, what certain colors look like, the sounds fishing equipment makes…all of it!

[@darrellgrant7615]

I’d love to see how the bass eat different types of lures. How a bass eats a topwater, jerkbait. Plastic worm vs a creature bait etc.

[@rodchurchill5576]

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@SteveRogersOutdoors Rick Clunn says a buzzbait can’t be heard by humans that are underwater. That seems impossible. He has a buzzbait video on his channel where he talks about this.

[@boater18281]

I really like the small river and bass react in different water color conditions. Also how they react to the boat position and the trolling motor.

[@JEB_FISHING]

Yes trolling motor along with units. I would also add noise outside of the boat as far as talking and movement on the boat.

Flipping bait in grass or brush ...shallow. Your content is,...the best always. Your passion makes me wish we could have a discussion over the changes in the lakes I fish. From childhood 1960's to last week. In short they went from grass covered fish paradise......to sewers. The "new" world closes them for high water and low water. Florida is......a joke.Im going to ditch my skeeter and pick up a little craft I can fish anytime. Sad lake management.

[@joestrailcams4037]

I like the bass behavior and positioning videos the most.

[@Hellionmasks]

Love your vids, best stuff on the tube. I'd love to see how different jigs react being drug over logs, etc... rolling over, getting snagged. Not sure how helpful it will be, but i'd like to see it. 😂

[@thatfishingnoob]

Looking forward to the content coming up with some more FPS! It's going to be awesome.

[@dustinwright4601]

Jigs in slow motion would be cool

[@albow4oops5]

id like to see bass reactions to the same baits in different weather/ seasonal situations. huge project, should keep you busy for years. also- if you can figure out a way to keep the camera underwater and recording for extended periods of time, then timelaps ( sp?)the shot with a synced up clock to show how bass relate to that specific cover or structure throughout a 24 hour period could teally help us visualize whats going on. I know it would change lake to lake, state to state, season to season. but I'd watch it. thanks for allowing us the input.

[@WorldsOkayestBusDriver]

Actions of rods in use. Fast action vs xtra-fast, medium vs medium heavy, etc…. an expensive rod with a reserve power backbone vs inexpensive rod. If I use too “weak” a rod for say Topwater, why am I missing the hookset? Vs too strong a rod ripping the hook out of a fish’s mouth while finesse fishing.

[@DONT.BUY.MAJOR.CRAFT-BAD.RODS.]

Hello Steve. I'm from Spain and I don't miss any of your videos. I love your content and I feel very identified with your vision of fishing. Maybe I would like to see crayfish escaping through the bottom in slow mo. Thanks for your videos.

[@kennethcorbin7317]

I would like to see bass react to different types of plastic worms as they fall through the water. Like when it hit the water and falls to the bottom. I know that sometimes bass just take off with it and that's what I won't to see. I guess the question is do they see the worm before it hits the water or react to the bait hitting the water? Thanks for these interesting videos. They have very much helped me with my fishing techniques.

[@JohnLong02245]

I think you’ve got a ton of great ideas from the comments but I’m sure you already have some excellent ideas of your own. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. I like the different weights idea with soft plastics. I’m a T-rig guy and that is right up my alley. Thanks for all you do.

[@tommaryott4957]

Seeing how a crankbait grinds through rocks... And also how the act in timber and brush... I sometimes feel I'm going to fast in order to not get hung up...or maybe I'm making to much of a disturbance.. Really like your content and appreciate this channel... Peace

[@wciii3591]

Same with jigs.

[@ArisaemaDracontium]

Baitfish movements, crayfish too, compared to our lures that imitate them. How bass attack various lures / live bait would be good too. Your underwater footage is gold!

[@danharris8046]

It would be helpful to show different trolling motor blades and their aerodynamic properties and the same with different baits

[@keenansteyn6736]

Honestly I think with whatever lure is being tested there should a decent about of focus on bass behaviour. What I mean by that is like what is the bass looking at, maybe there are small looks we don’t get to see at normal speed. Body language, fin movement could indicate where the bass wanted to go but didn’t all these little things. There should be capitalisation on slow motion to look at everything. Thanks Mr Steve for all your research, it has really helped me on my bass fishing journey. You are my go to and favourite person/channel to consult when it comes to anything bass fishing. I wise you all the best, God bless.

[@samuelschult985]

Thanks for doing this, my vote is crankbait and chaterbaits 👍

[@bassandtreblefishing]

The correct answer is yes, but I'm sure you knew that haha Start with slowmo lures interspersed between your more time consuming bass attach vids. Also, see if you can rig a few angles right to capture how line moves on a cast. Different reel same rod - does it behave differently? How are the guides spaced? Does that make the line come off more smoothly or less? How do baitfish move when they're just chillin? When they're fleeing? Thanks Steve!

[@STMPKC]

I would love to see how other bass react to another bass getting caught I would like to see bass in brush and a lure goes though or above it and the reaction I would like to see how bass react to movement and talking while in a boat and then turning the trolling motor on high do they scatter or stay in place?

I would be interested to see how adding weights to crank baits changes their action and the location of added weights for best results. Thanks for asking for viewer ideas !

[@undeserved1781]

Thanks for all you do Steve... While it's fall and the bass are zeroed in on shad, I like to see the footage of bass and the schools of shad being hammered. All while lures are thrown and ignored by the bass. Here the bass seem very target specific.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is a great topic!

[@skidemn]

I would absolutely love seeing them eat the top water walking baits. So many fish miss the hooks on a walking stick, even with a red hook, that I’d like to see how they attack it. That could tell me if I need to add color to a section, weight it slightly to change the angle the hooks sit, etc.

[@johngarner9929]

First - thank you for the outstanding content. I would love to see seasonal reactions with the same lure - for example how fish respond to stick worms in the summer vs winter. We presume our ability to figure out nature and how wildlife respond to different seasons but I wonder oftentimes just how predictable wildlife can be.

[@raimirbaquero4196]

I think a good video will be how visual the floor of carbon looks on the water and what I mean with that is from 20 to 17 to 15 to 12 to 10 to 8. What is it and how does it look? Can we see the coil when the line gets memory things like that I think that’s the best and wish you luck, keep pumping

Love what you do. Fishing has had a huge impact on my life, especially from a mental health perspective. So your normal closing hits home with me.. As for what I'd like to see.... I am scared of losing my lures. The cost. The idea of essentially littering. The thought that someone swimming or wading could get caught on my hook. I hear people talk about bouncing lures off wood or rocks or ripping through vegetation. No way I do that. Show me videos of various lures coming through unscathed and others that get hung and why.

[@randygoober5909]

There are so many ideas, but I will stick to just one for now. Frog fishing is one of my favorite ways to catch them, but as we all know hookups can sometimes be inconsistent. I have always wanted more data on what exactly is happening when I miss them. I'm sure it's many things but you may be the guy who could show us. Seeing the good hookups would also tell us a lot. Love your concise, thoughtful, to the point content that doesn't waste our time.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I will definitely try to get that frog footage for sure!

[@walterwest7457]

Some thoughts: How bass examine a bait before they eat it. Video of a bass “hitting” a bait and not eating it. What they do after they try to “stun” the bait. This would help us know what if anything we anglers should do. Bass waiting to ambush from their hiding place in rock, grass, or a cut bank. How bass respond or ignore baits that are the wrong color or the wrong bait. I realize that some of these if not all might be impossible if not close to it. Just some thoughts. Maybe watch some of Doug Hanna’s old videos and replicate with better resolution. Thanks for all you do.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

All great topics! Thank you.

[@arkvidpro]

I would like to see slow motion of bass reaction to a lure bouncing off a stump.

[@gavinmoore847]

I’d love to see a couple different weights of jig entering the water, maybe on a pitch vs a cast too. It’d be a nice way to show how big of a “splash” you can make before you’re scaring anything below. Big fan btw, started taking my dad out fishing again after watching your vids

[@dotmoriarty4354]

I also like underwater footage...i enjoy your videos of all content ..how about different trolling motors and what is best for different size boats?

[@allnewmate]

Any and everything, I know that's vague but your videos all of them are extremely informative. Maybe some live bait like crayfish or minnows heck even nitecrawlers. Buzz baits above and below. your feed is the best tight lines.

[@firemanstephen]

Your channel has been very informative and been watching for over a year. Keep up what your doing! I would say a way for you to expand your channel or create a different supplemental channel is film different lures, Types-cranks, soft plastics Jerks etc but in different brands to show the difference. You can maybe contact lure brands and ask for "samples' for underwater testing. One of the main things that makes me buy certain brands is by how the lure looks underwater that way i can see if it is something that looks good to me or fits my style of fishing. TW will sometimes have underwater video and it's a huge plus to me seeing if I will buy it or not. THE HOOK UP TACKLE also does some vids in there test tank at their store.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Excellent. Thank you for these ideas!

[@joshuamurphy8270]

Hardbait's and then a little soft plastic bait action that follows through on which ever hard bait it is at the time. Some times if you have a hardbait and can duplicate some of that action in a soft bait can sometimes make all the difference in the world. I would like to see videos like that in regular and slow motion. How an fish hits an lure or soft bait in a few videos in regular and slow motion will be good too. I think keeping all of it simple and to the point is everything. And anything that appeals to you as well because never know alot of us will learn too.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Bass hitting top water, especially hollow body frogs. I would like to see if they are even hitting with an open mouth, or whether they are just trying to stun it. That footage with the new camera looks amazing, can't wait for whatever you bring us.

[@Brannok812]

Walking topwater - how much do various models roll or dive compared to each other. Spinnerbaits - slow rolling vs. burning just under the surface. What are the visual and movement differences induced by different blade shapes?

[@zekedamuth5962]

I to would like to see how bass are hitting a frog and how they are reacting immediately after they hit it. I have a horrible hookup ratio using Frogs. I love your content Steve. So educational. Thank you

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I agree with you. There are days when my hookup ratio on frogs is just awful. Would love to spend some time on this one.

[@timmontano8792]

IF possible, I'd like to see you focus your camera on the bass's eye movement as it tracks a given lure. It would be interesting to see where the bass focus their gaze as they watch a lure swim by. In my mind, there has to be a link between what exactly is catching the bass's eye that leads it to strike the lure and what was the exact movement that made it decided to strike.

[@YoFridayGamer]

I would really like to hear what whopper ploppers sound like underwater. Also how bass eat different lures in slow motion would be helpful too

[@turtlepoi]

Hey Steve, It's got to be tough to come up with new topics all the time. I like your faith that it will come, enough faith to invest in the new gear even. I was gonna suggest one thing unrelated to that when I watched the recent video on fish cruising at certain depths on edges. You commented in that one about finding that depth. I video on what you think the best (fastest) way to search vertically would be cool. Most "search baits" are for covering water horizontally. Not sure if there really is one but it's a thought.............As for some fun with the slow mo, maybe some kind of comparison on fish mouthing and eating or rejecting soft plastics that are impregnated with salts vs not...Ir even Gulp. I know there could be sponsorship issues on that thought. Be well. You really are doing a great job man.

Soft baits (curly tails, paddle tails, does more ribs / rib pattern on a paddle affect action), spoons on steady retrieve and twitching, top waters from down below, jigging with braid vs mono (maybe side by side video, you twitching the rod and when it first starts to move), seeing how fish react to sink rate of soft plastics with different weight jig heads...

My brain is literally seizing thinking of the possibilities, lol! I, personally, would love to see the differences between something like a chunk trailer or a craw trailer on a jig. Or maybe, does a swivel really reduce the amount of line twist on a drop shot by as much as we think it does?
