Great tips. Been having trouble getting anything to bite. Decided to dead stick it last night and just tap the rod everyone once in a while. Got my first bass to bite and tried setting way too early because I got excited. Thank you for the video it’s really helpful to newbies to actually see the fish bite

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Glad it was helpful! I set the hook too early a lot - I feel that tap and also get really excited. Thanks for watching!

[@matthewstanley893]

How’s it been going since? I’m on a pretty serious no catch streak right now in Raleigh, North Carolina.

[@JLP_710]

@@matthewstanley893 honestly man I stopped using a worm because I haven’t gotten around to buying circle hooks and I was tired of having to dig the hook out of their throats. Been doing alright with spinners and jigs. Especially now that the fish are more active with the cooler water.

This is the best fishing channel on KZbin to me. There are a few good ones but Steve's videos are just amazing. I can't understand why he doesn't have 500,000 subscribers. His videos remind me of the old Bass Professor videos. Keep up the great work!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks so much! Hopefully, one day the channel will get there. I appreciate you watching!

[@fryeguy9939]

Thanks. Kinda lets me see what I think I'm feeling on the bite .. If that makes sense.. kinda like how to and when to react to what I'm feeling... Again food for thought 🤔🤔

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I totally agree with you, it gives me that mental picture of what is happening.

[@majorwayne9866]

0:54 This is why so many first time users of braid, miss so many fish. On mono or even Fluoro, you won’t feel the bite until it has it completely. But with braids, you feel things you have never felt before & set the hook too early!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is amazing how sensitive braid is. Just amazing.

[@TWC6724]

Love this channel. Love seeing underwater footage on baits and bass behavior.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks so much. It is always fun working on this stuff.

[@paulstuartwilson485]

Best channel on KZbin for your explanations of the HOW and the WHY of bass fishing. No one else is even close. No fluff or BS that confuses simpletons like me. Thank you for what you do. 👍🇺🇸

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! I very much appreciate it.

[@danielhall3595]

I’ve just recently discovered his videos. Not sure how long he’s been doing it but I’m subscribed and his videos are definitely top tier. Easily taken the spot as my favorite channel with only being a few videos in. Please keep it up. I’m a vacuum for the content he creates. I’ve almost stopped watching other fishing channels.

[@jeffarmfield2346]

Couldn't agree more

[@jeffarmfield2346]

I've been bass fishing for years, but he'staught me a number of things I think about literally eveytime I go out now

[@bobbymcfarland4386]

Best fishing videos with real helpful information.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

[@mr.v2689]

Hands down

[@buckeye830]

You cover the most interesting and helpful fishing topics. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Glad to hear it!

[@bradr.7249]

I love these type of videos Steve! One of the first videos I saw like this, way back when, is a bass biting a crankbait then immediately spitting it out before the angler set the hook. I think it was something from Berkley. I enjoyed talking with you on the livestream. Hopefully, I can make the next one. Keep up the good work!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks! It is always amazing to me how a fish can swipe at or even eat a crankbait and spit it out untouched. Happens all the time to me on walking topwaters. I really enjoyed the livestream!

[@LowBrowFishing]

I really like how you make sure to point out that the presentations anglers use and how they are worked go a long way to determining the types of strike a bass uses. Another great video!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is just amazing how many variables go into each cast and presentation. So many times we don't even realize what an impact we are having both good or bad.

[@victorycigarettes]

Excellent video Steve. This helps identify the bite.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Glad to hear it!

[@davehuggins5777]

Watched this 3x right out the gate. Amazing. Steve, you should do a mini-series on this topic.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I definitely want to try to. Getting the strikes on camera can definitely be challenging, but I find it so interesting.

[@norkhamed8]

Informasi yang sangat bermanfaat ❤

[@funkymojo111]

I love these type of underwater videos. You could easily expand on this with a follow up video showing bass picking up baits and moving them off their beds or when they slam a bait to injury it with their iron-like jaws and let it fall.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I will have to definitely try to do those! Thank you.

[@live2fishofficial]

Rod action, line stretch and positioning of the rod tip all come into play and can make the perfect presentation or the worst.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Most definitely. So many variables on each and every cast. Thanks so much for watching.

[@castingacrosstexasfishing]

Wow! This is the best explanation for using different rod power/ action I have ever seen . Also have to say that reaction bite footage was really cool. I actually laughed thinking how funny it looked that the bass couldn't even help himself. He had to get that lure before it got away.😂 Excellent video.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Lol. I agree. That little bass just had to have that thing. Kind of like me when I walk through the kitchen and there is a cookie there.

You are a scientific-minded guy, Steve and I love the things you are investigating... all the same things we wonder about as bass anglers! Love the footage! I suppose if it were easy, we'd find a different past time... so many factors at play!

[@mwilson0404]

I just found your channel and watched a few of your videos strictly because of the name of the title that I was very interested in. But the content and the video along with the content is the best that I’ve seen especially for rookie bass fisherman like myself. Keep up the great work, by the way, Isubscribed right away.

[@KatieAmes7]

So helpful! What camera do you use to capture the underwater reaction bite so clearly?

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

My underwater camera is a FiFish V6 drone. It is such a great tool for what I do.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Great video! Man, what'd we do before underwater cameras existed, learn to think like a fish by merely ASSUMING what the fish is doing, thinking, and feeling?

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I just love filming them. So much fun!

[@mr.v2689]

Most aggressive strikes I’ve seen a bass make are always on creature baits. 100%

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Creature bait get hit hard for sure. I was working on a video with lizards because of the same type of thing. Seems like the old lizard has fallen out of favor, but I understand why. Those creature baits just work. Thanks for watching!

[@heathfalke5637]

Agree 1,000 percent but I have also notice they tend to crush flukes 😂

[@DJNK11-g9z]

A few days ago I got some crank baits it took me an hour to shop

[@Big_Bass_Boys_Official]

Hey Steve! Huge fan! I listen to your videos everyday! I hear a lot of KZbinrs saying medium fast or moderate fast. As if the power and action are one thing! I think it would be a great idea to make a video on the difference between power and action😁

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That would be a terrific idea. Those terms do get interchanged a lot and misunderstood from one to the other. Thank you!

[@rickvann3489]

That was just some awesome footage, especially the reaction strike. Makes me wonder now when I grass fish I leave the bait motionless between 15 to 30 seconds if fishing is tough and seem to do good. I think one the bass lost sight of the bait but to it's in reaction mode and getting upset that the food isn't coming out and when it does bam. Never just a subtle bite it's Bam! BOOM! WHAM! as the old Batman TV shows would cry out...😊

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I should have added those old Batman graphics!

[@CarnivoreJourney0609]

Awesome underwater footage!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks! 👍

[@ItsMarionotluigi]

I saw like 20 bass in like 4-7 feet of water man, i toss a frog, that white jiggy worm, a green wacky warm, a real worm and nothing bit and i could see them they sometime went near it but nothing...was this the spawn? or any reason why? this also is my first time seeing bass with my eyes in a group ( hopefully i can catch one this weekend)

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Depending where you are at, they could definitely be ready for the spawn. They are spawning heavily right now in my area and I am in northern Illinois. When the spawn is going on they definitely get lock jaw for a while. Good luck this weekend! Hopefully you get them figured out and catch 'em!

[@kevinmatney2218]

What do you do when the fish in our pond learn your baits and will not hit then at all?

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is a great question. That is when I will try to get super finesse and very subtle. Very slow movements and lures without any rattles, etc. Something like a Slider head with a little 4in worm is a great place to start.

[@Demolitiondude]

I watched a bass do the body blow strike almost topwater on monday.
