This TINY Bait Just Changed My Fishing Forever - 2 Hours of Uncut Offshore Bass Fishing

[@Macdaddy8124U]

.... Holy smokes , the integrated electronic fish finders , with mapping , while running the boat and fishing while watching the electronics, WHILE TAPeING VIDEO is the FUTURE. Johnny this is 🔥! This is the future for KZbin content. Drive this to the bank buddy....👍 I'm just blown away...everyone is going to copy this format....

[@jamesadams1357]

I've said it before this young man has his head on his shoulders as well as I've seen at this age. And he ABSOLUTELY could fish MLF, BASS or whichever he should choose. However he chose the option that would provide for his family's future best! Well done sir! I do think the lighter weight helped with slower fall or glide however to help save your day.

[@cwetzel1976]

Love these 2 hour uncut videos! Keep them coming

[@OldMysticFantasist]

For you this was an hour & change of frustration, for me it might be all day, but appreciate you showing the frustrating time putting the bait right in front of them with interest (following) but no solid commitment until you found the bait they wanted & the difference that made. Very helpful! 😊

[@FishtheMoment]

Glad the videos was helpful!

[@edwardwicht5271]

EMMY/Oscar for documentary fishing! (If that existed.). Thank you for making this and posting, Jonny. Super educational. You mentioned a few mistakes to avoid that I make. It’s incredibly useful to see the whole process in order to appreciate what it takes and how long it takes. I’ve been increasingly successful off shore because of your channel. (When I started I didn’t fish offshore at all.) Happy to sponsor channel and hope more people will do the same. Thanks again!!!!

[@FishtheMoment]

[@whirleybirds4439]

Jonny - great new format with amazing integration of video, graphing, and Livescope. This parallels what many of us do in our fishing day. I think you're onto something for teaching decision making - the most important thing we do as bass fisherman, and the most difficult to teach. I know these videos take a ton of work, but keep it up: the results are worth it!

[@dmoneyakathatguy]

This is probably the best fishing video i have ever seen. It was awesome to watch the whole process and not just a person catching fish. The the integrated eletronics into the video is amazing. Keep up the great work!

Jon, awesome video! I’ve watched a lot of videos and even though you explained everything very well, just watching sometimes is the best lesson. I now have a more realistic expectation when I fish off shore. Keep doing what you do man! We appreciate it!

[@harrysample894]

That's how my day was today. I caught 1 largemouth 4.16# on 1/8th hover rig with 3" fluke in 25 ft. depth. I tried for two hours to get them to commit and finally gave up. Water temp was 93F. air temp 91F. I'm glad I wasn't the only one getting frustrated.

[@FishtheMoment]

That’s how it’s been for me too. I usually get 1-2 fish per spot then need to move on. I’m rarely catching 5+ fish on a spot anymore. Fish are getting smarter I guess haha

[@tonyb-50]

How long does it take for 1/8oz to drop 25’?

[@harrysample894]

@@tonyb-50 That's the hard part for me; waiting for 20 seconds to get that deep. If you go heavier, the fish need to be in a different mood to go after it unless it's a major feeding period.

You mentioned you're using a new transducer and were needing to tweak it. Hope you mention in an upcoming video (for a few minutes anyway) your tweaks. I'll be upgrading my bow graph soon (I hope...) and still going back/forth between Lowrance and Garmin. Now, come on winning Lottery ticket so I can REALLY get setup. Appreciate how well you articulate what you're doing, fine job educating us, it's very easy to understand you. Thanks man!

[@gregshelton4487]

Love the full length video it shows the whole process of graphing and Lure choices and it takes all of the above to get the right combination too many people think it’s just going out and catching catching catching on live scope but this video shows what it’s like thanks for the great videos

Glad you enjoy the new format!

[@kenandrews1801]

I'm going to agree with @Macdaddy8124U. THIS is amazing. Honestly, it's a virtual on the water lesson - it's like we are in the boat with you! All the integrated electronics show us exactly what you are seeing, and even more importantly, your constant explanations of your interpretation, and "Fish the Moment" strategizing under real, live conditions is just phenomenal! Awesome work Jonny!! Thanks for the lesson!

The average viewer has no idea how many hours go into the production of your videos. I'm really, really impressed. Are you saving your LiveScope images via Active Capain to your phone or to a micro SD card in the fish finder? Keep up the great work.

hi Jonny, that is so cool yet, so darn, frustrating! It’s so depressing when you can see them all around your base and not committing. Like you said, sometimes they’re in the mood, and sometimes they are not. Lol.

[@tonyb-50]

Got’m at the 1:17 !

[@TurdFerguson1000]

Jonny- like you I’ve added livescope/AT to my boat in the last year. And like you, now instead of dragging jigs and cranking, I find myself using active target more often and trying to catch fish that way. I enjoy using AT but I’m not sure if I catch any more fish using it over scanning than dragging a jig, worming or cranking. How about you?

[@FishtheMoment]

Haha I feel the same way. I think it’s easy to get focused on the suspended fish when you see them and I would guess 75% of the bass are suspended at any given time. I still think a football jig dragged around offshore will get bigger bites on average a lot of days. I’m still trying to find the balance between dragging and livescoping

[@mitchwann4223]

I'd like to see you do a live scope video on stroking a jig

[@FishtheMoment]

I'll see what I can do!

[@dustinroadway6108]

Make a little shroud for the camera that puts it out of DSL. direct sunlight

I’ve looked but cannot find, what color palette are you using for SI and livescope?

[@homebound-g3o]

This is a crazy question but could those fish been like catfish or another species that woundt bite your bait?

[@tedborchers9009]

Johnny, can you please fish Bull shoals lake?

[@brianwidener1086]

Have u tried a 1/8 oz crappie hair jig

[@cobrayzf]

Awesome video as usual. I have been on a similar bite the last few weeks. I noticed that if there were more than 1 fish if I ripped the bait a couple of times pretty hard it would trigger a bite. This was true for largemouths but the smallmouths were in large schools and would come a long way to smash the bait as soon as it hit the water. Its definitely a fun way to catch them. I was actually finding them out in the middle of nowhere 30-40'. Other guys were looking at me strange until I started catching them pretty good. As always great video. I'm looking forward to the 2D garmin settings.

[@FishtheMoment]

I’ll give that a try next time! It’s fun catching them in weird places and confusing other guys on the lake haha.

[@ilikerealmaplesyrup]

Do you use snap swivels?

[@FishtheMoment]

I do on my topwater lures.

[@s.allison7406]

I don’t have a forward facing sonar but after seeing you use it I must admit it’s tempting. However, I could see it taking some of the fun out of fishing just looking at the graph all day and before you know it, you have spent 2 hours trying to catch fish that will not bite. Have you found this to be a problem and would you recommend forward facing sonar to a non tournament fishermen?

[@FishtheMoment]

It can be good and bad at the same time. I feel like I catch 3 - 4 extra fish each day because I have Livescope. On the other hand, I also spend longer fishing for inactive fish and fish fewer spots in a day than I used to. Overall, I would recommend getting it if you can.

[@s.allison7406]

Thanks for the advice. @@FishtheMoment

[@stevesmart9711]

One additional thought. You keep wondering why you are not getting bit in the first half of your video. I am sure you are familiar with feeding windows. Obviously those fish were not in the need to feed.

[@nickburns9125]

Looked like you were having one of my normal days i can be on top of them and watching them on mega live and mega360 and throw 8 different lures at them and they just come up look at it and swim off .... i have to disagree with the live scope haters it's not like ...just cause you buy the equipment you're going to fill the boat i have caught more fish without using it since having it then i have casting at fish I see but I will say its nice knowing you are fishing in a area with 🐠

[@FunkE.Fisherman]

How much if ur us a bite window deal? How many times will you revisit those fish throughout the day?

[@FishtheMoment]

If I was fishing for 8 hours, I would probably fish each spot I saw fish on 3 times per day. Usually they fire at least once.

[@amathis3244]

I commend you for all the work you put in these videos. It’s also actually really good education but I have to admit I feel like I’m just watching some other guy play a video game. Does anybody else feel the same way? Doesn’t seem like real fishing anymore. The adventure of fishing seems to be gone with all this electronic technology.

I fished them for 2 weeks in September a few years ago. Those lakes are crazy. Caught a 9+ pounder on Falls, Jordan, and Shearon Harris. My first 5 bass on Falls averaged 5.75 pounds and I caught 30 fish over 3 pounds one day on Shearon Harris. Very fun lakes.

A couple of months ago they had a tournament at Shearon Harris, and out of the 40 anglers only 7 actually caught fish, 4 of them caught 1 fish only! 33 anglers got skunked.
