To be completely honest. I went from knowing little to nothing about fish finders. I have watched almost all of his videos over them and have went from clueless to fairly confident and I appreciate it so much. No one else is this good at explaining. Thank you so much

[@ia6980]

Agree 100%%

[@jones1394]

Your are the best explaining everything about bass fishing.

[@esmitesoro306]

How is it that you don't have 500k subscribers? You are the most clear and simple person that teaches proper procedures that anyone can understand! Respect brother

[@theultimatesteelshooter8610]

Because most fisherman would still rather just get in their boat and beat the bank for 7 hrs and maybe catch one fish …. Be glad he doesn’t have 500,000 subscribers … reservoirs are already way too crowded!

You are so correct!!!

Right? 👌

[@keithknechg3217]

In my case the good old days was a classic " green box " build your own flasher kit my father and i built one winter.required soldering and stuff.portable ,used 2 lantern batteries and a suction cup transducer.perfect for summer fishing trip boat rentals as we didnt own a boat....holy crap i,m old.turning 62 this month.

Best description of side imaging I've ever watched.

[@0017Bulldog]

There is absolutely no one else out there teaching us how to catch more fish. Thank you, as always Jonny.

[@Abe_Sinclair]

IDK if I'm getting smarter or if these videos are getting better, but I just actually learned how to graph!

[@RaySmithWeb]

These are truly the best fishing videos available today. Absolutely redefines the game. Jonny, we all salute you!

[@gregcarbone1105]

This is beyond helpful. This should be mandatory for us beginners to the fish finder world!

[@davidhartwell4599]

I’m just gonna throw this out there that this may be the single most helpful fish finder video I’ve come across. Just got my first fish finder, a down and side imaging (helix 7) for my kayak and you literally described everything needed to go use it effectively. Consider me a fan of your channel

[@bentaljonick989]

My wife’s Grandpa passed in April and we acquired 2 of his boats. A small 12 foot very lightweight aluminum boat with an old 15Hp Johnson and a larger Lund with a 30Hp Merc. He used to take my wife fishing when she little. We took a bass fishing charter earlier this year and we both had a blast. I’m 32 and have never done much fishing. We plan on fixing up both the boats and are looking forward to getting out several times this year. I’ve been loading up on everything I can learn via KZbin. This is great stuff!

[@UJC1977]

You and your team are 'paying it forward'. This is another great learning video. Keep up the great work.

[@timquist2996]

By far, the best video on how to use my Humminbird tech that's so much over my previously limited knowledge. Incredible, thank you.

[@stevenwhite5558]

Awesome video, you are helping me understand what I am missing, by using electronics properly

[@brenth7774]

Who the heck is downvoting. These guys make some of the best electronics tutorials on KZbin.

[@daved2403]

I'm not sure I've seen many videos that don't have downvotes. There is a certain segment of the population that is just unhappy and want to share their misery with everyone else.

Very very helpful video. I've been fishing for 35 years, but just recently bought my first boat/fish finder... Theres alot more to it then going out and using it the first time. This video was extremely helpful. Thank you

[@jessespurlock1]

Keep up with these. You’re my go to guy to find answers to my questions. I wouldn’t know how to utilize a fish finder to its maximum ability if it weren’t for you, Thanks champ!

[@ozarkwild9492]

Love your content! Thank you so much for uploading more of it onto the podcast. It’s hard to sit for an hour through a KZbin but not to listen to it while in the car! Your stuff is amazing

[@narvelwilson4446]

thanks for being so patient and clear bro...learned more in a few minutes with you than 3 years trying to find someone using the right examples

[@fredstockberger9894]

This is the best explanation and instruction for side and down imaging that I've found. Thank you for the time you spend putting these together.

[@aarongreenlee7867]

Johnny the paint roller for signing a check is an awesome analogy!!! I have learned so much from your videos. I applied the information you have shared when I purchased my Ti2 Elite 9 for my kayak. I can't wait to get on the water with it after the ice is finally gone!!

[@Hawgmaster]

My electronics investment just panned out, thanks Jonny!

[@derekp6636]

I feel the same way, might actually find some fish instead of just squiggles on the graph

[@bzidro]

In two words, you have done a : MAN' S JOB !!! not to mention a : GREAT JOB !!

[@ThumperSpinnerbaits]

I got my first Structure Scan the year Lowrance released them. Through trial and error, i eventually learned how to use them. This video was the best and easiest way i have ever heard this info presented. Wish i had this video available yrs ago.

[@benkeller3]

I continue to be amazed at how you can take complicated theories and make them simple to understand .... Thanks for what you!

You are best at explaining bass fishing world than anyone on earth. I mean it you're the best.😊

I'm a new subscriber. I just got my "dream boat" a year ago this month. It has a helix 7 at the console with mega side and down imaging. Prior to watching your videos they were nothing more than something cool looking to me. I had no idea how to use them or what I was looking at. I am continually watching your vids on using side and down imaging. Thanks very much, very helpful.

Your videos are some of the best I have seen !!!!!! I fished alot "back in the 1970-1980s", then job, kids, sports, house, etc. didn't leave much time. Retired now and got back into fishing about 3 years ago. Mostly from the bank, but bought a jon boat this past spring and it came with a Lowrance hook 2-4X finder. I have a little Deeper Start fish finder that I used to cast from the bank and bridges. Your videos have explained soooo much that I did not know. Do you do any videos about catching crappie? Thanks

[@rickyvickery7508]

This is one of the best instructional videos that I have seen. It has helped me to make a decision whether or not side imaging is worth investing in for me or just more bells and whistles. Keep them coming.
