Technique Of The Month | April | Wacky Worm

This month is one where there are a lot of fish spawning across the country. There are some still hanging around down south, lots are starting across the mid part of the country and it won’t be long for some of our northern friends. A wacky worm is a simple rig but picking the right bait for the depth you are fishing is critical. Your presentation of it is too! Slower the better most of the time. Hope you go catch some big ones on the wacky!!!
For any of the gear I use all season long you can get it here: www.basspro.com/SearchDisplay...

You had me after your opening statement. Your profession of faith is SO wonderful to hear. Im a follower of Jesus and now your videos,. Be blessed man.

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

The rise of Jesus, spring turkey hunting, and spawning bass. Don’t get any better than that!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@larrykinkade1586]

Love watching you fishing in tournaments. It’s a blessing to know that you’re a man of God. Best of luck in your next tournament.🙏🙏

[@MT-oh8vi]

Love your witness. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. While there is a lot of fishing info on KZbin, I know that I am getting the best when I watch your channel. Gonna be fishing Lake Athens with a guide in about a month. Loved watching you crush them there for that amazing win. Blessings, brother.

[@rlperrin3876]

I love your testimony right off the get-go. Always good to hear a brother from another mother. Thank you for the detail, as a newbie I need all the help I can get. Here in North Idaho, it looks like we're weeks behind everyone else. Blessings.

[@dff-zy9wp]

Brother from the same FATHER!!! :))))

[@shaneseeley9641]

I really appreciate that you cover everything pertaining to the technique. So many others will tell you about the bait choices or the rod & reel or the technique but don't put it all together. This was a welcome surprise. I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@jeramyh9344]

Man, what I wouldn't give to go Turkey Hunting and then Bass Fishing with Ott. Two things I love doing.

[@danielmiller4791]

Great video! Thanks for the tips and for always being a good witness for the Lord 🙏🏻

[@Mlrtime69]

1:30 a.m., can't get to sleep. Got on here and found you just browsing Ott. "Let's see how Ott fishes a Wacky Worm" methinks. And then after you catch one, standing on one leg with the other foot up on a barrier, I get a Testimony, and oh What a Testimony! I got surprised and excited The excited way of your speech and the sincerity and the joy in your voice had me saying, "Preach It Ott! Preach It" out loud. I'm gonna watch the fishing technique tomorrow. I'm going to bed now with my joy in my heart. Thank you Ott. It does my heart good to see a Brother in Christ proclaim it before the world.

[@bruceesterline3170]

Don't forget about mushroom hunting 👍 this year i tried something different by using a size 2 circle hook on my wacky setup and it works good you just have to remember that the hook is open no weed gaurd so watch where you throw it.

[@JesusFreakLive]

Thank you Jesus ! Keep Rocking that Testimony. Keep being a light ! Let’s Get er Done at Lake Palestine ,Texas

[@zombiediarhea]

God bless you Ott. You seem like a down to earth kinda guy. Not like most pro anglers. Always enjoy your videos.

[@arniejohnsen2353]

Just saw the first video by you and subscribed to your channel and really appreciate the lesson on fishing wacky rig. Keep them coming please

[@sfoutdoorsinar975]

Ott thanks for your consistency about our lord and savioor Jesus Christ ! Wishing you all the best this tournament season and thanks for all your great videos and tips .

[@wesleywood6306]

Amen! Christ is LORD

[@ronjennings8226]

Ditto

[@GilAcee]

Love the yellow braid! People say I'm crazy to use it but it has helped me catch so many fish I would have never seen bite with any other color! New subscriber. Thanks Ott

[@raytubach8988]

Thank you Ott. God bless you

[@geraldkoth654]

I fish the boat canals in our RV Park. They are weeds from side to side, and a lot of fish cruise in those canals. So I fish the edges and the center. When they are cruising many times they hit it in the first few seconds. On the edges it takes the technique you just described. Standing on a dock and catching fish after fish is just a blast. Bass, pike, and bowfin, the bowfin. The pike really love bladed jigs. As I tell my son, if it shakes on the end of the line I am happy. Thanks for the tips.

[@JoyceNalley-kn4vb]

Yes my husband loves watching you fish on TV he loves all the tips that you give out on Facebook we fished lake Cumberland 2 weeks ago and my husband used your techniques and we caught so many small using your techniques we sat on One Bank for 6 hours and caught fish all six hours

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Thank you, Ott, and congratulations on your MLF win this week.

[@jimmymccorkle5005]

[@greghiday]

Thanks Ott. Great video on the wacky rig. Good luck down at Palestine this week. God Bless.

[@markkendrick01]

Great tutorial! I’ve never tried that pink color on a worm. Looks like worth giving a try. Good stuff brother.

[@keithcarcaterra1824]

Amen brother. God bless.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great tips great video

[@JRIvy]

Amen brother!

[@hunkgolden7988]

I hate to burst any bubbles, but I was taught this technique back in 1975. Used a 6" creme worm, and caught many stringers of bass up to 9lbs in weight. While it works in larger reservoirs, the best results came in farm ponds of still water of shallow to medium depth.

[@dieboldranger175]

Great channel thanks for the tips. God bless

[@davidnabors3151]

Thanks Ott!

[@johndedecker279]

Thanks say hi to your father for me God bless yu all thanks for tip knew to this want to get better at this..

[@garyhanna2388]

Wacky rigging lol .Go ott. Your the man! Great meeting you in tulsa

[@rickyreynolds9056]

Very thorough and well said!! Good info Ott thank you!! Especially when you were referring to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! 🙌🏻

[@FishiganMilligan]

Amen! I love celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ 🥲

[@theonearmedbandit8631]

Hope the tournaments gets better for you! Noticed you’ve been struggling this year, just part of it! Go catch them buddy.

[@nothing-xk8vr]

Subbed. He is risen!

[@chrisfoley3320]

I have had that jam up day of killing a turkey and catching bass. Its amazing. Great tips man

[@midwestfischerman]

8:50 Thank you for explaining the polarized lens color selection based on the different light conditions! Do you ever use amber lens glasses? If so, in what water & light conditions?

[@raymondpadilla65]

Amen brother God bless you and your family 🙏🏽☝🏽❤️

[@loron99]

Thx Ot

[@bobreynolds9673]

thanks bud

[@DJloudpack3208]

The wacky rig is one of my go to rigs don't matter if its a senko or a trick worm on it. The rig flat out catches fish

[@bassingthrough]

You go weightless?

[@DJloudpack3208]

About 80 percent of the time it's weight less but I have tried the weighted about 1/8 oz

[@jimwarncke3787]

Thanks Ott. I always love your videos, and the inclusion of our God mixed in. I have been trying the Wacky rig, but the tips you had will really help. One thing I was wondering, do you put the hook right through the worm, or use the "O" Rings or cross over rings when you fish them wacky style? Thanks again and God Bless you and all your family.

[@danluther1741]

Thank you for your public confession of our Lord Jesus Christ!! That & your bassin' knowledge is more than enough for me to like & sub!! God bless you, your family & your success!!!

[@Shiloh3498]

He is Risen!

[@escobarb69]

Amen

[@FishingWithCotton]

Sometimes I fell like in your shoes when you talk about Texas. But you already know I’m from East Tennessee but live in Texas. Wish I could fish with you at some point at Norris.

[@erniebrightfishing]

Amen ott and you forgot my birthday is in April. Lol

[@zp5941]

Ott, when and why are you choosing a wacky straight tail over a wacky senko style bait? Thanks!

[@mikekrikshiunas5317]

Ott what lenses do you use for stained water ?

[@bassingthrough]

Amen! 🙏

[@rodplunkett8651]

Thank you for the video .. the Wacky is I guess my confidence bait that I catch fish. After watching your video I do fish it wrong by fishing it like a shakey head all the way back. Great video love that you are a Brother in Christ just subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos. Do you use and like the Chatterbait ? If so will keep my eye out for that one .. Thanks again

[@chuckpigue9571]

What knot do you use tying the leader to the main line and do you vary your length of leader?

[@travisbruno5964]

I use the same gear but i use an arsenal clear wacky tube to put my hook through and i never loose a bait or a bass

[@jeremyfrady6531]

Can you also do that with a Texas Rig also

[@banditva8040]

What weedless hooks do you use.

[@MrAndrewlouise]

Have you considered doing a series on bank fishing? Not everyone has a boat. Just a thought sir.

[@makeithappen8473]

I hate to give up the juice but when they are on the bed my go to is a pink fluke slit it on the top or bottom and slip you a alchaseltzer in it.

[@deannademala3432]

What brand of hooks do you use, couldn't hear it on the video, thanks

[@miltonalbright1606]

That’s right ott Jesus is about Easter milt

[@nateroo]

You are ossum Ott! Really respect your knowledge and skill(s)! Just a thought... I really think the Bass Pro Fin-Eke Worm was meant to be called/pronounced "Finecky". Just a thought, please consider. Thanx for sharing your knowledge and insights!~

[@kurtbecker9609]

i have to say, I love your garage. just wondering why each of those 4 bays isn't TANDEM? can a guy EVER have too much garage? I do not think so....

[@stevenweiner1852]

This guy is impressive. His river fishing background gives him such a solid understanding of the water!

[@donaldprice5924]

Ott 10lb hyperbraid in yellow? I can't find it. Heavy line yes the lighter line no. I like that hyperbraid cast well.

[@fishaholic122]

Praise the lord

[@jeremyfrady6531]

On Fort Loudon and Tellico

[@bass4996]

Absolutely, weightless worm more fun than topwater to me,hardly miss a strike

[@persivixace8888]

I noticed you didn’t rig your worm in the center. Does it matter if it’s slightly offset or centered?
