Colors Bass REALLY See - You May Be Surprised at Some of These

This is the most accurate representation that I can find of how bass may actually see. We know that bass vision is different than human vision. This video will give you a good idea of how bass see color differently than we do. Bass vision is a fascinating topic.

I always throw natural colors because bass get used to eating shad and crawfish so of course silver/yellow and red/brown matches what they’re used to seeing.

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@redeyestones3738]

This video is 100% horse shit

[@Yojimbocatfish]

I think you need to include water clarity as well. The colors will filter out in different clarities of water and light conditions

[@jasonkidd9559]

💯👍🏼👍🏼

[@bobmcbob49]

exactly, lure's work by being visible, not by being an exact replica of a bait fish.

[@mub3ady]

I`v been watching fishing channels for a while now, but frankly speaking this channel and fishing with Nat channel are the two best fishing channels I`v watched so far, what I liked on both your channels is the clear, simple, great visual explanation, and direct to point approach (no unnecessary intros), thank you Steve, excellent content, much appreciated.

[@thestime]

Love your videos Steve. You've produced so many great videos that change the way people think about what is actually going on under the water with regard to sight and sound. You get right to the point and everything is explained so well without all the useless chatter that others use to make longer videos. You put in so much more effort and it in my mind it makes you stand out from the crowd. Keep up the awesome work my friend!!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I appreciate that!

[@apiii73]

When I was a kid we went far north in Canada camping and fishing. We fished in lakes that had never been fished in before. The waters were very dark from tannin. Our best lures by far were fluorescent orange. We hauled the fish in. Mostly Northern Pike and Walleyes

[@stevencaldwell838]

Excellent video Steve! This one is most definitely going into my archives! I’m a big fan of swim jigs and your set up was spot on! If you should do a part 2 of this video, please consider different water clarities… crystal clear to muddy. It would be interesting to see which colors stand out when filtered🙏🎣

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Yes, it would. I am definitely planning to do a part two some time and will keep this in mind for sure. Thank you!

[@mjheggie2]

Also compare some different depths in the different water clarities!

[@robs9349]

I thought bass can see UV too, which we cant. Wouldnt that change how all these colors are perceived even more? Maybe incl UV, chartreuse doesnt go white but is something else? You give us a lot to think about, and lure makers heartburn. Love that part!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I need to do some investigating on the UV. Definitely feel like a part 2 video is in the works.

[@imnotimportant]

Thats what I have heard too, which is how they feed at night or really deep. UV rays are not blocked by the water as well as visible light rays, so as the water gets deeper we cant see anymore but UV rays are still getting thorough and UV colors still shine bright and visible to fish. But each UV wavelength is also lost at specific depth just like color, red being the first to go neutral starting at 10 feet.

[@gregc7314]

Thank you for this. I get in arguments all the time with regards to yellow/chartreuse and blue colored baits.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

You're welcome! It was a great one to work on and spend time with. Took a lot longer than I thought, but worth it.

[@philandjana]

The way that green pumpkin camouflages with the detritus underwater with that filter on makes you realize why so many aquatic critters have that color on them.

[@ADKyakman]

This is great.. it did you ever think, what if the bass itself has a color blindness issue

[@goodkarmasportfishing5053]

Most of the documented lab studies show bass have dichromatic vision(color blind).💯

[@andrewmcdowell1291]

Very eye opening Steve. Thanks for the info.

[@Taylor-vz4ot]

Love knowing i can simplify my color selections. And the color vision in the video reminds me of Kratts Creatures from back in the 90s. Lol.

[@maxcole3930]

Yeah I thought everything green would stand out sense they have a green cone. But like you said, the blue flake in black& blue was green. Then the green backs on hard baits were light blue & green pumpkin was brown/pumpkin? Not what I was expecting but super interesting. So a white lure with a chartreuse tail is just to catch the anglers, not the fish sense it's all white to them...

[@erichildreth7562]

Wow this really does make a difference as to what colors bass really do see. It is amazing as to how chartreuse is actually white and how the glitter stands out. Amazing video and thanks for sharing!!!

[@jimboyko2854]

Best Video in 10 years. But I do agree with “fish nerd “the images need to be side by side. As well, thanks for showing us your favourite lure/colour and there was very little change. Nicely done Steve .Don’t stop.

[@craigdubois8792]

I've caught so many fish on the sexy shad color red-eye shad during low light. I always thought the key was the way the light blue back gave off a cool looking glow.. I guess not!

[@neonwhitea.1548]

Removes blue color, Everything looks blue now

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It was interesting how that light blueish-greenish showed up in certain situations. I would love to do some more digging around with that one, yet the blue flake looked bright green. Thanks for watching!

[@Rooster0529]

I have my monitor calibrated for my photography hobby. What you see as blue is actually more green on my monitor. I think manufacturers calibrate monitors to make it more pleasant for us. I learned years ago that I have to calibrate my monitors to reflect the actual colors in my photo images. Just my thoughts.

[@imnotimportant]

​@@Rooster0529its blue on my phone, my tv, and my laptop.

[@Rooster0529]

@@imnotimportant haha, you’re killin me. Must be your fish genes coming through. 🙂

[@jasparta993]

​@@imnotimportantthat's true, as screen are calibrated with +blue highly, +red lower and most of them lacks -green by few points. Our brain loves blue to make world more natural (instead of grey), why we can see more shades of green than any other color (except for ppl in cold zones coz they see more blue shades than green... Like Alaska or Siberia). That's why night vision glasses (gogles/ thing that army murderers uses to see at night) show everything in green rathet than red or blue.

[@shanescott3168]

Interesting and helpful video. It would also be helpful to see what lures look like at depth in different water conditions.

Thanks, like you said very interesting.

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. I find it interesting to see like a trout or bass.

Fascinating and amazing ground breaking study as usual! Love that bluegill jig!

That bluegill swim jig has caught so many fish for me. Definitely my number one confidence lure for sure.

[@walterwest7457]

Steve, I enjoy your videos and the approach you take to researching and presenting material. As a retired optometrist I was very impressed with the in for nation in this video, amazing info. Now you’ve taught us about things we want the dads to see. How about doing a video about things we don’t want to bass to see like line in different colors?? Thanks again

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I am actually working on that very video right now. Hope to have it out soon!

[@royimwie9900]

This really changes everything! If every bass angler saw this, lure companies would go broke! This proves that products catch fisherman, not fish! “Gotta have one in every color”! When someone says keep it simple, this is exactly what it means now! And I agree, one of the most informative and important videos ever! Think you should do one in different water clarity as well. Thanks Steve!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks! I will definitely have to do a part two.

[@TheWoefman]

Your point well taken. But if i may, since Steve introduced this to me( but I read the science studies long ago). I played with this Dalton Lense algorithm. Just because you have a blue bait and or baits with some blue spectrum in it, the blue shades do not go invisible. That is important in my short research, because it just shades it differently presumably to the bass. If say your goal is to match the hatch as they say, then use the links Steve provided to upload photos or if your a Linux Vs Windows user you can write your own program and include the Dalton Lense algorithm and make bait choices accordingly. Example i went to 6th sense website or maybe tackle warehouse grabbed some screenshots and boom could see the colors that caught fisherman and what a bass might see after passing through dalton lens

[@shorefishingontario]

This is quite revolutionary. I am curious to see what my favorite color "Morning Dawn" looks like to a bass. I appreciate the video!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Those are super interesting websites to work with. Let me know what you find out!

[@noahblevins9569]

This was really interesting. It did teach me that many of the lures I have purchased were basically useless to catch anything but my wallet. Thanks for the information, and the presentation.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It was a really interesting video to work on. Thanks for watching!

[@RickFlair-zc1bp]

I used to walk with my dad at a popular place that happened to have a small stream stocked with rainbow trout. He would take a pocket full of fruit loops to toss in the stream and watch the trout. I'm thinking all the fruit loops taste the same however they wouldn't touch the blue ones. Since making that observation few blue lures have been added to my tackle box.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing that.

[@banjohappy]

There's a youtube vid testing colors for trout and turns out white and pink are the best.

[@RickFlair-zc1bp]

@@banjohappy I'm not surprised. It's a little bit off subject, but wild trout are often very picky about what dry flies they'll take. Getting the size right is critical. The difference between say a #22 and a #24 hook doesn't appear great to me, but trout will notice. Being off by one hook size can get you skunked regardless of how well it's tied.

[@BillQuick-qo6lp]

Hey Steve, all great stuff! I recently came across your videos. Wow, I’m amazed at the different perspective you bring. I’ve learned a ton already! THANK YOU!

Awesome I was told this years ago same thing you just said but I never seen it proven you've got it going on you just proved things

[@TheWoefman]

Really enjoyed this video, was well done. One reason i liked it is i read the studies on largemouth vision. Things i never understood is i thought red was first color to disappear under water? Its a stretch but Steve do you think with your underwater camera you can test color red at multi depths in human lenses and bass lenses ?

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I sure can give it a go. That would be really interesting. Thanks so much for the idea!

[@Fueledbyfishing13]

Great video, Thanks for the information.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

And thank you for watching!

[@FrankM812]

This will change with depth I’m assuming as red is the first color we lose underwater with our vision anyway. Thats why divers use filters on GoPros so everything doesn’t look green

[@kylegarvey9487]

I think you have the most informative videos online. I appreciate all your content.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@SiTengoTiempo]

Really interesting video! Learned something today. Thanks!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

[@cccmmm1234]

The red is overstated underwater. As any scuba diver knows, water filters out red light. Below about 10 ft deep there is very little red light left and it looks more like black to us. I suspect that for bass only green is left.

[@Fishingwithfaithoutdoors23]

You just made every bait company in America mad😂😂😂😂. So basically what I saw. White , bama bug ( June bug and green pumpkin) and red is the only three colors you need. I catch a lot of fish on bama bug here in mid-south Ga. Awesome video!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Lol. It was crazy how that June Bug looked. It was really interesting to see.

[@bigdawg580]

Awesome info. I always considered Bass were color blind and only see shades of white to black. Similar results for most colors

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Each time I watch this I am amazed at how clear the red stands out. And like you said, a lot of the other colors are very similar.

[@turtlepoi]

Lure colors really are designed to catch fishermen. They way chartreuse looked blew me away considering how popular it is. Then I thought maybe it was it's UV properties...But isnt white also UV reflective.... The mind wobbles...

[@fishingwithdj2844]

I just match the hatch, I don’t need to see the colors they see😂…. Further into the video now, this is very cool!!

[@donkukawski8609]

Awesome info Steve..going to have to take this into consideration when airbrushing all the lures i do from now on.

[@Lowtrajectory22-yc4jp]

It can also be fun to experiment with what a lure looks like to bass as is flying through the air. I have been fishing like this for many years and can actually catch bass. But I haven't done any scientific experiments.

[@richardq8485]

Great content and well done. Thank you

[@joshhelcel9724]

Chartreuse and/or white have been my go to colors for bass species including largemouth for many years. Sometimes they definitely prefer one color over the other. I even fish say white sometimes while my buddy throws chartreuse to see what they prefer that day. Also, sometimes white with a chartreuse tail out fishes all white or chartreuse. There's no way bass see them the same...

[@bradr.7249]

This was an eye opening video Steve!! I'm going to mess around with those websites to see what my favorite lures look like. I'm color blind myself and I find this fascinating. This will change the way I buy lures from now on! Can't wait for your bass behavior videos to come out. Thanks again for the great content.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

They are really interesting websites to investigate. I think you will enjoy putting different colors in there.

[@krum81]

So colors are more to get people to buy them vs a bass to bite them ? Steve you killed it again . Thank you

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I know when I walk down the aisle, they get me!

[@judmorrison68]

Yep. I finally figured that out a little while back and got rid of most of what I had keeping just a few basic colors

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks! It took a long time to put together but it was a fun one to do.

[@TheWoefman]

Ditto

[@BobelPop]

This has me wonder about other fishes color perception. For some reason gold spoons are desirable for red drum & when the water is murky. Also, is the vision on a striped bass the same as a snook? What about sheepshead, gar, sailcats, bluefish, mackerel, musky, & others? I wished there was just as much knowledge on other species as there is on bass.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Those are some great questions! Hopefully someone out there is working on that for sure.

[@rickvann3489]

Excellent video, I learned a good bit.

[@mikecollett8513]

Great video Sir. Loved your gill swim jig example and found the green pumpkin soft plastic fascinating too. The in the water example really highlighted how it's devoid of negative cues when finesse is the game. Now think how chartrues highlights can be applied. I'll second the part 2 segment showing how different water conditions/color (opening a can of worms but wind and sun light too ???) can highlight or camouflage our baits. Maybe geeking out but this was cool. All the best.

[@raybone3]

And this is why, "back in the day", most lures were basic colors. Reds and whites. I often wondered why a bass would eat a chartreuse colored bait, when I have never seen a chartreuse colored bait fish. So, in short, we look at what the fish are eating and match the colors that we see, and the bass will see the colors of the bait fish we are trying to mimic. All of these bizarre colors, especially chartreuse are just gimmicks to get fishermen to buy their product. And we all fell for it.

Dont forget that the colored light rays dont penetrate very deep into the water, from red with just 3 m, yellow was like 8, green goes down to 20 m and blue was something around 30 m up to ultra violet with up to 100 m. the numbers may be off, since they are from my memory but shouldnt be too much. :)

[@foundingfather5100]

This reminds me of red fishing line. On one hand they say it’s invisible to fish, yet also say use red lures. This seems to show they see red quite well. I expected it to just look black like a silhouette.

[@irwinm.fletcher2612]

I have been saying this for years. And this is why I think that you should divide colors into transparent or not tran. Also I think the flake or Crome reflects UV light and even though no study indicates bass see UV we know other fish and water foul do

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I definitely agree that UV plays some sort of role. I have still been trying to figure out how to do some investigation on that one.

[@clydesharman2053]

Would be nice if lure manufacturers actually made lures the colors the fish see so we had a more accurate picture of what the lure is replicating under water

[@LowBrowFishing]

What a great topic! I've known about bass not having blue cone cells for some time, but seeing a great analog of how bass actually see really changes things! Smallmouth are notorious for just smashing loud-colored lures like chartreuse or fire tiger. I wonder if all you really need is white.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is such a great question. I definitely plan on having more white options than I currently do. It was so fun spending time on this one.

[@TheWoefman]

Wish i knew if smallmouth see the same as largemouth

[@ewright444]

I stick with green pumpkin and black with blue flake colors for soft plastics and shad for hardbaits so now if it's dirty Im throwing more chartreuse! 😂

[@paulwilson5490]

I would love to see this information paired alongside how certain colors are reduced or lost at certain depths. Red, for example, loses it's color around 20ft. I wonder how other colors fair at different depths with the color filter on.

That is a great idea! I will probably be doing a part 2 sometime that will try to experiment with a lot of these questions folks have had. Good stuff.

Can't go wrong with a Black/Blue jig or crankbait, especially mixed in with some silver.

[@oaoolo3750]

I use to throw chartreuse, blue back, crankbaits during summer, because they seemed to get more bites. I would use an all white crankbait during fall and winter, because that color seemed to work better than chartreuse blue back. I didn't really throw white crankbaits during summer, because they didn't seem to work as well as the blue back chartreuse color during summer. If chartreuse looks exactly like white to the fish, why does it make a difference? Do you think there is something we don't fully understand about a bass eyesight? Adding chartreuse dip dye to a white worm, like a old fashion swimbait body. It made a difference, I strongly believe.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I am guessing that the UV spectrum has something to do with it. I would love to figure out more on this one.

What about the glowing baits? The glow in the dark with various colors, there are uv baits and the new ones that have a light in them. Might want to put up a note stating all monitors may not show the colors accurately.

I would be vary interested in seeing this same type of video but showing what atual pray bait fish and crayfish look like than it would give a better understanding of matching color to live bait

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is a video I am working on. Hopefully, it will be out later this summer. Thanks so much!

[@FlavorfulGaming]

This is a very cool video but an issue comes up with them being underwater. Because water will filter out colors as well

[@jonhaller9241]

Man I really do miss the old diamond shad lipless baits….

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Still have a bunch of them!

[@Carlb328]

I find that bass often like red, orange and pink like trout do.

[@LennynSquiggy912]

If anyone wants to know more about bass behavior, what they can see, hear, smell, etc then I highly recommend the book "Knowing Bass". It's out of print so expect to fork over some coin for it.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I have that book on my desk and read it constantly. Such a good one!

[@NTXoutdoors]

Well done!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@carlburr1462]

Truly great content!! Thanks Steve!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@DshaunBirch]

interesting both in and out of the water the chartreuse seems darker and more likely to blend in than white

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Agree. It was definitely a little different.

[@ozziejim8472]

Great analysis, very helpful. Thanks

[@barthanes1]

This was really surprising because I have caught fish on a chartreuse grub and they wouldn't touch white. Both presentations exactly the same except for the grub color.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I'm guessing that the UV spectrum has something to do with it. I would love to dig into that UV topic more.

[@rogerbrand223]

Awesome info. Please go into more detail and colors. Will you be doing that in your bundle?

[@JohnLong02245]

Whole new perspective on colors from the fish’s perspective 👍

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks. The black blue and green pumpkin ones really surprised me.

[@JohnLong02245]

@@SteveRogersOutdoorsMe too. The Junebug color was very surprising and now I know why black n blue flake are more effective. Thanks for insight.

[@mikea327]

Can they see dk green braided line? Or is blue braid better then, i hate adding FC leader line lol

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I'm working on a video that should help with this question.

[@scottcameron3559]

Good one Steve, interesting knowledge every little bit helps

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks. Some of these really surprised me.
