Shallow Water SMASHING On A FLOATING WORM

Came up to Oklahoma a day early to hit a nearby lake. I was going to do another new lake breakdown video for you guys but it turned into a floating worm smash fest lol. This is one of my favorite ways to catch them and it flat out works!

[@oacfilms]

Mark we have learned so much about Bass fishing from your videos Thanks for sharing....

[@559bassmasterraider]

🔥🔥Glad I stumbled on this channel!! Great informative content & great energy! Keep it going bro🔥🔥

[@jimoconnor8597]

I laughed at the underwater shot talking about a "floating worm". Love me some methiolate or bubblegum worms though. Good luck Mark!!!!

[@douggrant272]

MDJ, great, relaxed, informative video! Love it!

[@F.Ronnie]

Great video. Thanks Mark.

[@granvillej3316]

Mark thank you so much for sharing with us your knowledge and skills to make us better bass anglers. I am very new with the world of bass fishing and most my education has been through KZbin. I have been watching influencers that can share their skills. When I finally get out on the lake definitely be anxious to use them. I do love your rain gear your wearing was wondering what brand they are? Thank you so much for sharing your day with us take care and can’t wait for your next elite bass tournament event your in! God bless!

Mark really great content enjoy watching pop them with that worm that was cool, hats off to Colin with the underwater shots,i pray for you Mark best of luck with the rest of the year, peace out my guy

[@danm3978]

Glad you got to step out for a moment from the derb and enjoy one of our little Oklahoma jewels. Only thing that makes that lake better is jumping in the tin rig and running up the river to the current. Come back and get your smallmouth on!

[@Bassticker]

I still like the pre rigged worms with weed guards, you hardly ever miss fish on these things.

[@gtb2710]

Great Video Mark !!

[@brandonwiggins540]

Quality content bro! Love it!

[@elliotharsh6435]

Love the content brotha!

[@bryanthefishermanbaker4961]

Great video man really enjoy watching your videos I have learned a lot thanks

[@scottbassman123]

Your correct Sir, There are some KILLER BIG Smallies on That Lake!! Ask Ole' Carl Jocumsen

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Thank you for giving us the juice on the floating worm, you are probably one of best at it, I saw you catch some bigs on lake fork 7 & 8 lbrs, I sure enjoyed watching you catch them, at end of the video music to help you feel good!👍🎣

[@kentlee7494]

Great video Mark, I caught a lot of fish on floating worm on the rivers in nc. We have a fisherman from Kinston nc that was known for fishing a floating worm. Danny Joe Humphrey , he fished a bassmaster classic in the 90’s and a bubble gum floating worm was one of his primary baits.See y’all at Chowan river.

[@MrAlley32]

I believe that is Jason Christie's home water. Good video. I'm definitely going to give the floating worm a go here in Oklahoma.

[@jamesbarron1202]

Used to be Jimmy Houston’s. I think he still owns a Ranger/Kawasaki dealership there. I happen to own a Ranger and Kawasaki myself.

[@CoachD386]

💪🏾💯

[@jasonwilliams8875]

I was raised by tenkiller love small mouth fishing there. Water is always pretty clean for Oklahoma.

[@DemetriSchaefer-ew7ot]

You go my man, MDJ that’s how I was getting those big lathargic Larrgys to bight Saturday up here in Wisconsin, the wheathers been fluctuating to much for them to be on beds yet, but they’re not as actively feeding anymore, they must feel miserable… it was 82 here as well!!

[@rodneyhathaway333]

Looking good need more like that for tourney time!!! How did you rig that pink worm

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Texas rigged

[@mikelembke5121]

You make good videos and explain clearly for people to understand thank you. Question what would be a good setup for floating worm fishing,? I see you have a spinning rod?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

I prefer a spinning rod, anything 6’10”-7’3” med heavy is good 👍🏾

[@nathanseiler5950]

With summer coming up, could we get an updated flipping setup vid?

[@KHeinz_57]

LFG!!!!!

[@the_lenny_draper]

One of my favorite baits to throw year round, but I need to figure out how to connect with more bites.

[@scottbassman123]

Arkansas is crazy weather as well but OK is SO flat and those winds r KILLER !! Do u ever use the Pink Zoom Mag trick worm weightless for your floating worm??

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Never played with the Mag but I’m sure it’d work

[@garymueller6488]

Do you feel this method is seasonal or situational?Can this work from pre spawn to fall?l want to give this a shot and thanks for the info and video.

[@manicmetal157]

If u watched the video u would know

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Spring time deal for me

[@garymueller6488]

@manicmetal157 l did watch the video and l didn't ask for your opinion.

[@manicmetal157]

Ok Soo sorry Gary 💋

[@mikebailey2119]

MDJ, you mentioned we need to have good mapping. Can I ask what mapping you are using and can you use any of the mapping systems with Garmin?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Yes I’m using Garmin’s Mapping. Very good

[@garysanderford1572]

I really think Chowan River is going to be a great tournament for you that floating worm will bust there buts at Chowan River fished that place many times and killed it fishing your style of fishing Trust what I'm telling you.Goodluck in June MDJ hoping to get to meet you.

[@DawgTownGolf]

Do you prefer Z man or zoom floats?

[@TangierFly]

Great video Mark! What brand worm is that methiolate?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Zoom

[@wwp2213]

Do you fish this any other time of the year?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Spawn/ post spawn for me.

[@Phoenix-nl2ut]

I’ve gone through two bags already but the floating bite is over for me.

[@JGOUTDOORS516]

went to a local lake and smashed them on a bubble gum trick worm. Caught over 20 in fours hours. needed it as confidence booster myself. tournament weekends have been brutal from weather.

[@yourneck2]

WASS up big dog….!

[@terranceleonard960]

I am a new subscriber to your channel hear to learn about bass fishing

[@raymondpadilla65]

Does this technique only work on blacks or spots as well? Is this only for shallow water fisheries?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

All 3 species eat it.

[@Jim-Corson]

How long will you throw the floating worm, down here in Florida?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

What’s crazy is I never use this technique in FL 🤷🏾‍♂️ lol

[@ivanramirez9757]

When you ciming to Lanier in Georgia?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Soon 👍🏾

[@TX_Nupe]

How did you have it rigged, weight-less?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Yessir

[@justcallmedyno8938]

So has anyone finally thrown the Queen Tackle swimjig? Did it live up to the hype?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Haha not the swim jig but the flipping jig is legit

[@courtneygillespie2601]

How do you prevent line twist

[@user-fg5yo4nm4s]

Barrel Swivel

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Braid to Flourocarbon leader! No line twist

[@jameswilliams3937]

You going to real them in the next stop

[@Jkoester9]

There’s a BIG secret to that floating worm that hardly anyone knows and it makes a world of difference. The main reason I watched this video was to see if you exposed it and thank you for not lol.

[@majesticog9281]

lol

[@garretdeckert1749]

Do the won bass us open

[@sparkpluuug6287]

Mark why a spinning setup instead of casting?

[@shadsingh8954]

Worm is to light

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Castability

[@KHeinz_57]

Surprised to see you hooking them on practice.

[@MarkDanielsJr]

This wasn’t the tournament lake lol

[@fishingwithcamo-joe88]

HIT THE LIKE BUTTON ONE TIME ✅✅...YOU "WEIRDO'S

[@KHeinz_57]

Don’t you want to save all three fish for tourney?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

No because this isn’t the tournament lake 😂😂

[@jesseboyden3119]

U never finished explaining why u don't like wacky rigging a floating worm!

[@MarkDanielsJr]

I don’t care for the action, I like the darting action from Texas rigging
