Realistic Bass Fishing Tips - Change Lures To Catch More Bass!

[@bdaquatics7584]

Today my daughter picked up a plastic bag at the creek in our neighborhood and picked up plastic bottles and trash❤ I love that I taught her to take care of our spots and I love that you do too. You the realest bro💯✊

[@patrickwallace2487]

I actually did the same thing today its so important to teach kids to have respect for there environment, some people have no respect for anything its sad. Thank you for being a respectful human being...

[@bigjoe3287]

We were at the beach today. My boys and I actually took some trash out of the ocean and off the beach. A lot of people just looked like they had no clue why we would do that. Some people just don't care

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

That last Bass was a heartbreaker. Nice fight with a smart fish.

[@RealisticFishing]

He won the battle, but not the war

[@ClarkdeBear]

That sigh at the end... I think we've all done that more than a few times. Another entertaining video. Thanks, Alex!

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

Man ive been waiting on this vid all afternoon. Awesome bass on that lipless bro. That last bass looked giant. Prob been caught before cuz he went straight to those branches and weeds. Incredible vid homie, nice catches!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Ninja

[@jessemedinajr1485]

Never giving up is truly realistic. Great catches Alex looks like you had an awesome day. Wish we could of see that big boy that got away in the end of your video.

[@RealisticFishing]

I will get it next time 😎

[@markpowers349]

That lipless crank bait was nice. Good looking fish too.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@flaviusfratu4]

That third catch was nuts !! Nice move letting it sit there after the swipe !

[@RealisticFishing]

Came back for it! 💪

[@kater4052]

Great vid. Usually fish for catfish using bait. However, I went kayak fishing on my local Lake Palestine and although the catfish weren't biting much, the bass were jumping all around me. Sure wish I'd of had something beside dip bait and dough bait with me. I'll have to make sure to include some top water bass lures and senko worms next time as well. Enjoy your calm approach and that you don't use that annoying techno music.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kate 👍

[@lisatwitchell403]

Love to watch a bass swim away slowly when you release it. Like the bass is thumbing its nose at you saying you're not so tough. LOL

[@bassnazi4713]

Lol or like the cartoons, think even spongebob had it, where they feel like it was a near death experience and run back to tell all the fish a being lifted them completely out of the water...removed the dangerous hook...then I woke up back home.

[@latariorustin6516]

Third catch was cool as hell

[@RealisticFishing]

I agree 👍

[@NASPELTZ]

Amazing video man ur doing great

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@kater4052]

BTW, I also like that you are realistic in that you don't edit your vids to make it look like you catch a fish with every cast. Even the best fishermen/women have slack lines sometimes. Tight lines and blue skies and keep the vids coming.

[@RealisticFishing]

I try to keep it realistic 😉

[@bobbreves9436]

Seriously the best KZbin fishing channel out there and you are doing a great job and thank you very much...... Fisherman can really learn from you and that's a great thing..

[@richardburnett2589]

Great video as always! I love when they come back for a bait after a bite, or near miss. I had a decent a one a few days ago, bite the tail off my chatter bait trailer, and then come back for the rest! I keep all my gear (except rods) in my truck. So whenever I go, I just shuffle through my boxes and soft plastics to see what I want to take along. I always have my hooks, and weights, and a selection of soft plastics. Then I just need to choose between top water or swimming baits, cranks and such. It's been a great year so far! My brother turned me on to a new place a year ago, and I've been doing well there. Thanks for another entertaining video, Alex! Keep it realistic!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Richard, good luck out there 👍

Beautiful Place, Amazing Fishing Congratulations Fisherman! Hugs and good fishing.👍🎣😎

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Suellen

[@134rwa]

Changing lures does give you insight into what the fish like best, you can get a bite on a certain lure, but find they like another lure better. That last bass must have jumped a foot high out of the water, and it looks like it took you where it wanted to go.

[@RealisticFishing]

it knew exactly what it was doing

[@predwards8941]

Are used to use the O-ring method for wacky raking but then I switched over to some 3/8 inch heat shrink tube and it works really well

[@RealisticFishing]

whatever works 👍

[@bsmith4396]

Great fish today! I’m bad about changing baits too much. I need more patience with each bait 🙂

[@RealisticFishing]

Gotta find that sweet spot 👍

[@PanhandlePrepping]

That’s a nice, productive bank spot you got there. They were definitely set up on the rock edges today. That last one was savvy, not his first rodeo. Looked like a biggun. Keep it Realistic and Happy Independence Day, brother! 👊🏻😎

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks TL 👊

[@rossbowman202]

Happy 4th of July to you Alex. Sweet bass.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Ross!

[@tedlincolnsfishinglife]

sweet summer bassin! still think you like a swim jig... you can fish it fast, hop it off the bottom, or rip through the grass,

[@RealisticFishing]

I have tried before but nothing yet.

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Nice job picking up the trash. Sucks that you have to but we all thank you. Nice video.

When do you normally start throwing the lipless crank bait Alex.? Another great video.

[@sacton87]

I've been catching them on lipless cranks since early March. Prespawn was insane with em!

[@RealisticFishing]

When the shad are hatched and around 1 - 2 inches

[@MarkJohnson-lc6dd]

Realistic Fishing that makes sense. Mimic natural forage. 👍🏼

[@andymiller3180]

You took that last one you lost better than I did. I was rooting for ya and when he.came unbuttoned my heart sank.

[@RealisticFishing]

😅 hopefully I can catch him another time

[@jamesdavis9040]

[@patrickwallace2487]

You are deffinetly a true fisherman thats i why i watch your channel.. I fish almost everyday im from northeastern pa and fishing spots are hard to come by but i gotta few spots with little fishing pressure but i gotta few tips ftom watching you so i wanna thank you for that

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Patrick 👍

[@nubfishin9152]

Good stuff and great advice. Don't be afraid to change it up. What produced yesterday may not produce the next day. Also, don't be afraid to go outside the guidelines. I loved that you used a lipless crank bait. The general rule of thumb is that if the bite is slow, downsize and go more finesse. You gave rule the bird and busted out the lipless.

[@RealisticFishing]

That's right. Grind it till you find it 👍

[@sacton87]

I've been killing em on lipless cranks this year. Started in late March and still catching bass on em. Bummer on that last fish. Looked like a good one!

[@RealisticFishing]

Glad to hear they are working for ya 👍

[@blueboy1183]

I have never caught a skum frog on a senko!! Senko and a Lipless crank bait= Fish Enjoyed!!

[@pennybenning8010]

Happy Fourth of July 💥 Was just going through my fishing vest added some new lures going to take your advice and mix it up. Have a great weekend Alex. Thanks for a great video!!!

[@slooper101]

Love the lipless crank bait. If you had to guess., how big was the last one lost in the weeds? M

[@RealisticFishing]

3 lbs

[@mr_b22]

Great episode. I think I enjoy fishing top water the best. I don't have a lot of luck with it but when a fish gets on it's something special. Hope you keep trying top water, it's great to see the blowups. Very realistic.

[@RealisticFishing]

I will keep trying 👍

[@dylant4737]

Went to sell the boat yesterday 😢 had fun with it but the cash was a bit more important. Plus the lakes I would take the boat to are mostly about 40 minutes north of the border and in really unpopulated areas, so if the boat gave out it any way I would have no cell service and no one to contact except a town that’s a 30 minute drive away.

[@RealisticFishing]

Yikes, hopefully you can get into something else just as fun

[@j.t.cooper2963]

Man, as feisty as they were you know that rattling LCB was really pissing them off. Killer! 👊🏻

[@RealisticFishing]

yeah it was!

[@budmann9712]

Hey thanks for the videos man just got into your channel.. Question having trouble you could say I'm in a slump....does the wacky rig with the band on the senko make a big difference........ and I use a 4 ot hook is that too much or should I go smaller

[@honkeykong85]

Marcus Welsh personally? I think that’s way too big. 1 , 1/0 or 2 are as big as you’ll ever need to go on a wacky rig. Cuts down on snags too. Pretty much every hook company makes a wacky hook now and days. VMC,owner,gamakatsu,mustad,trokar are all solid, affordable options I’ve had spectacular results with the trokar neko finesse hooks as of late. Those thing bite and don’t let go lol

[@RealisticFishing]

the band is just for durability, and I like a slightly smaller hook like a 1/0

[@bassnazi4713]

I am with you on the perpendicular hook on the wacky rigged senkos. I have even thrown one on a regular weighted EWG hook to throw in right after a miss on a top water and had great hook up ratings with it. May not be the "right" hook but works really well in a pinch.

[@bassnazi4713]

Happy Independence Day too, man!

[@honkeykong85]

Bass Nazi Neko rig bruddah. Shit is magical haha. Gotta set the hook quick tho,or else the bass will swallow it, i have about a 95% hookup rate on that rig. It’s bonkers

Love the video as always brotha! If you’ve never fished a popper you can walk as well, I HIGHLY recommend the 6th Sense “splashback”! It moves a ton of water and walks like a dream. Keep up the awesome show!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Whats the pricetag on that one?

I got em for $8.99...worth every penny

A change is always good you caught some good bass well in m8

[@RealisticFishing]

Sometimes change helps 😎

[@BassGeek]

Mono will also slow the rate of fall on a senko also keeping the bait in the face of the bass longer annoying the heck out of them.

[@scottleggejr]

Those hooks on the lipless look really odd. Maybe it's the camera or lens throw? Maybe they're just massive or bent wide open? Another great video. You used to take water temps in your older vids. Any specific reason you don't any more?

[@RealisticFishing]

I do that while I wait for the spawn. Now that its over, it doesnt matter as much.

[@alexmessenger4648]

When you make some of your videos only using one soft plastic do you use others before the video or do you really just use one plastic and catch fish?

[@Nflguy4949]

I’ve been using an eagle claw 3.0 weedless hook. I noticed in some of your videos your using a weedless 1.0 hook. Do you find the 1.0 works better with wacky rig?
