Old School Fishing (Getting Back To My Roots)

[@tyota3334]

Very genuine individual I met him last year

[@markberry7271]

Hey brother, my son that’s 25 now, we started following you back in California coming through the BFL in 2012/13 time frame. Nothing but total respect!!! We started a High-school team back in 2015 in the state of Alabama. The real LA ! Lower Alabama. We saw you and your little man, ( probably a big man now)two years ago on Lake Eufaula in the late spring. We was catching 2 pound spots in the middle of the lake. It’s a hangout for most young kid’s? But I call it (THE MR. Miyagi Island!!)# Karate Kid. That spot want win a tournament, but if the water table is up, it’s a ten pound bag with a finesse rig. Hey brother, I was 40, and my son was 13 when we started following you. Now I’m 52, and my son is 25, and now he has his one year old son. Through the high school B.A.S.S. We’ve tackled every major lake in Bama. This dude, and his best friend qualified for state every year they competed. Missed the cut to go to national with only 4 fish, any 5 th legal bass would had got them to Paris (Kentucky Lake) long story long!!! 😂 you, DC, and Wheels! Helped every step of the way!! Brother Man, Keep doing what you do!!! God Bless!!

Love the cranks! My favorite thing to do in the spring and fall. It’s not old school to me😂 it’s regular fishing

[@kensimpson8581]

No ffs needed, love it. Nothing like a good cranking bite.

[@chriswilson7110]

So glad to see a nice beat the banks video

[@garymueller6488]

Fishing the edges of boat launches can be effective at times. This content was very informative with the techniques, thanks MDJ. Have a good day brother.

[@TheCarhartt1]

Finally!! Haven’t seen nobody throw a crankbait but me 😅

[@charlesshaffer5782]

Great video man I love some old school fishing

[@BassGuy1]

MDJ is by far is one of the best Pro Anglers representing the sport. Professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and a humble guy. Love the fact that he can fish the new technologies and techniques, but will go back to the tried and true methods that will always catch fish. Great video.🫡👍

[@Crankinstien]

My favorite way to catch ‘em

[@Dean1Fishing]

This is what it’s all about mark #BackToTheBasics ✅👌🏾

[@codyhooser3333]

[@StevenEagan-y3f]

Best thing I added to my fishing last year was a heated vest...battery last all day ...40 to 50 dollars at amazon with battery.

[@Buddy1980]

Man, this is refreshing. The only other guy I know who is doing this is Defoe

[@MikeHearn-td1vu]

Love shallow cranking. Enjoyed this video for sure💪🎣 Looked a lot like Tallapoosa spotted bass then our Coosa River spots. They all fun to catch tho. Take care and best of luck to you this year!💪🎣

[@bjeffer21]

I see you Big Dawg, rocking that Yota gear from the owners event. Got the same head gear and rock it all the time. You got me pumped for some cranking.

[@jeremypope9929]

Great video

[@jjh31]

Good stuff, love to see real fishing!! Never had great success with the Traps so I tend to throw em’ 4 or 5 times then back to the storage box they go 😂. People swear by em’ and I know I need to give them more of a chance.

[@josephammons7309]

[@ImUrMISERY]

Great video! I took a break from fishing videos bc everyone became robots using the forward facing sonar and it is really boring to watch. Thats not fishing what you did today is fishing:

[@brandoncoulter3804]

TELL 'EM MARK! I love winter cranking. Am I the only one who uses FFS for cranking also?

[@kermitbrown1100]

I caught a nice Spot on Lake. Jackson, Ga. Cranking an old school Bandit 200 on the last day of December. I Do Crank’em up in cold water. I wish I would’ve checked out Mark’s show first. Thank you Mark Daniels.😎

[@WildBillHabiki]

I bought some ATV square bills for Christmas. Can't wait to try them out.

[@ericstanley3446]

[@markkettoman9838]

Thanks

[@austinrobinson1619]

Showing too much juice 🔥

[@scottbrewer2221]

Your green/chartreuse and black bait did not look like a flat sided bait. Is there a preference for you between flat side or the thicker baits ?

[@johnmango6056]

Mark, can you guys pick what period u use FFS or does everyone use it the same period?

[@TrentDunnam.]

What lake you on man I fish all them lakes

[@barrymcdonald9454]

What's your favorite ramp to use at that lake

[@StevenEdwards-oz3zw]

Looks like Lake Martin or Logan

[@justinlackey8895]

Weedowee

[@corey8112]

What boat launch are you using for the Conroe tournament?

[@kermitbrown1100]

Is this Logan Martin?

[@justinlackey8895]

No he’s on weedowee

[@rogermoore3270]

Good video. If you have to whine about ffs on this video you may need to think things through a little more.

[@fishingva2167]

You guys talk about cold weather and cold water. But you never talk about the real cold weather and water most of the country deals with. Water temps in the upper 30s and air temps in the 20s and 30s with abnormal weather like rain and wind mixed in. You act like 50 degree water is cold when its not
