Top Big Bass Kayak Fishing Tactics

[@soaredwood162]

"Take the pressure off of yourself for results, and put pressure on yourself for the process." Love that line. Awesome vid!

[@mike333h]

I never catch anything...but by God, I love getting on the water! Kayak fishing is the most calming and finding inner peace thing to do that I have found.

[@darrenkanagy2763]

10:07 smiling ear to ear watching cause that is the most genuine smile. Nothing like the feeling of catching a big one.

[@AsianRedneck239]

You had me at “you’re my special guest”.

[@puvlea83]

I literally was outside having my morning coffee and exclaimed "awwwwwww" lol

[@nialkelley1179]

I believe staying in a learning mode is great advice. When I'm fishing, I become an instructor to myself inside my head. Whether its reading cover, learning a new body of water, or trying new techniques, I try to reteach myself information I've learned from your videos and others or just from the different people I fish with. Never stop learning.

[@FisherVision]

Being brand new to fishing, I appreciate the explanations and advice to understand and enjoy fishing as much as possible. I'm excited to get on the lake.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks! Thanks for watching

[@overtigo5d]

One of the most inspirational fishing videos i ever saw... that last minute or so was great... great was to explain that fishing isnt about ones self... to pass knowledge on it so key

[@jasongregory209]

Love the Eisenhower quote! Will begin to properly prepare before hitting the water! Thanks for the inspiration Chad!

[@harley9714]

They're numerous reasons for me to keep living, like my family and fishing and awesome beutyfull people like your self Chad, and if there were more people like you in this world it would and it could be a better place to live. Thank you, thank you,thank you god bless.

[@maineiacoutdoors689]

Your passion makes you even better than you can imagine. Your must have been an awesome NCO. HUAH!

[@zbikerkwki5120]

So love watching your videos. I learn something every time you post. Your crazy antics and fun atmosphere make me wanna fish more and more.

[@openmind6969]

Just found your videos.... you are one of the most articulate fishing video instructor (you beat our president by a mile, lol) I listened to and can sense your passion. Thanks! I am just starting to kayak fishing and fishing in general and it can be quite frustrating not to hook fish when others do....

[@mojo88bassandbourbon72]

Slick how you used two baits to entice the strike

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Great video Chad !!! I enjoy all your videos and your fishing advice, Awesome camera view on the bass guarding his bed. I can't wait to get your book for my birthday in Dec. Have a Blessed Sunday !!!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks!

[@treverkirk8110]

wow what a great channel. I really love how you focus on tactics and how to become a better angler. please dont get to the point where you bring along a certain brand bait/rod/reel and do nothing but keep bringing it up the whole time. just keep doing what youre doing!!!

[@OutdoorswithTex]

I've been fishing my whole life. In fact I used to fish against you in Kayak Wars or 321, I cant remember (tex@OIP). The bass bug just came and bit me out of no where after not bass fishing for 20 years lol. I really enjoyed this episode and I do get too wrapped up in chasing the big one! Good Stuff!

[@NautiFish1]

Man I know this was a 2016 but you can learn so much from this one! Thanks Chad. -Nauti Fish

Great video brother. we all need to be teachers who are willing to learn as well as teach.

[@acnjshink]

Chad, Way to get on them, great video, great tactics, great techniques, and great procedures you’re always giving us the real deal info. Always greatly appreciated, I have learned so much from you already can’t wait to fish with you at Bienville Plantation.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks. Looking forward to it. :)

[@TheBlenco]

The mental side of fishing is important. Sometimes it can be difficult moving on when a fish breaks off, but you still need to go fish!

[@christianrobeson1899]

[@khristine51]

My respects to you sir for sharing this knowledge, thank you so much once again

[@JoseTorres-gg2gh]

Awsome video , really liked the speach at the end , thanks brother

[@howardgutenstein9682]

Hello all. Just purchased my first kayak a Bonafide SS107. I have not purchased any gear yet other than my paddle and PFD. I will be fishing a rather calm lake and wondered what the minimum equipment I need to land a fish in open water. I notice Chad mention setting up and dropping his power pole. Do you have to anchor to fish from a kayak? I have only stream fished from shore and I’m not sure what I must have. I know I need to pick up a yak attack net. Lol. And help or suggestions welcome.

[@TheMilkman954]

NRS Classic Chinook.... Great pfd and hat.

[@jesse-45cal-WCM]

Thanks for the teaching. Love the video

[@DwayneMcguire]

right and don't be afraid of the deep ,,learn deep diving lures , searching for the spot of the lake👍🎣

[@jashof1]

Enjoyed it! Cool 2 rod tactic on the bed.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks brother.

[@e.cabanjr7511]

Great video! Great message!

[@wessmallwood-angler7719]

Great stuff Chad!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks Wes.

[@AnglerBR-Leandro]

Congratulations! Amazing fishing! Greetings from Brasil.

[@WalkerStPeter]

great video! makes me want to go right now!

[@anthonymartinez7965]

Outstanding video. What did you catch the big girl on if you don't mind me asking?

[@allthingsoutdoorsohio]

Nice video man! I'm looking to get into Kayak fishing.

[@willfarkouh]

Fantastic video and lesson!! Curious...how heavy and what type line do you need to securely catch a bass around 8lbs?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

It depends on the tackle setup and the rod really. I’ve caught several over 8 lbs on 6lb test when fishing lighter lures. I rarely fish that light anymore. But you can with moderate action rods at lower power ratings like a medium light to medium as long as you have your drag set relatively light.

[@willfarkouh]

Chad Hoover thanks. And what type of line? Mono? Fluoro? Braid with leader?

[@christineadkins405]

Awesome Video Chad!!!! I recognize that cove you caught the big one in. When was this video made? Can't wait till spring.

[@scottehrlich6653]

My new favorite episode. Thank you. Over

[@puvlea83]

Subscribed after that one.

[@calebgodwin3224]

Great video but my biggest question is about All Pro Rods. Are they going to make a comeback any time soon? Needing to buy some new rods and ive looked everywhere!!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yes. We are relaunching the brand at the KBF National Championship and KBF OPEN. After that look for them on the KBF Website as well. Once we get caught up they will be for sale on the All Pro Rods website as well.

[@tjingram1207]

Great video! What kayak is this ?

[@bigdee1611]

great video.....can't believe u got a dislike the nerve of some people!

[@DwayneMcguire]

[@Tbrezniak]

What kayak do you use?

[@meanpicker]

Great video!

[@Hunterjones2000]

Absolutely an amazing video as always would love to see more like it thank you and God Bless You Chad from JonesBoysFishing

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks brother.

[@cabraljoshbeer]

[@lisafritcher4024]

Daddy always said they only count if you get them in the boat😉😁

[@arsola74]

Love this freaking Vid.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you sir!

[@alexhernandez136]

[@sgibby8817]

[@style83837]

[@jefferyandrews2933]

[@ialexmani]

Whats the blue rods?

[@nathanreed3302]

what model wilderness is that? thanks

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yeap. The ATAK 140.

[@markwilliams5574]

the paddle keeps you dry?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Nope. The drip rings do

[@DwayneMcguire]

awesome 👍🎣

[@Matt-br5zt]

It always bothers me when I miss a bass with my frog I can never get it to hit it again. I'm not a pro so I know im doing something wrong, I just don't know what I can change. Surely it will hit the frog a 2nd time.

[@Aesop101]

What's the capacity on that kayak because you figure his equipment is about 60 to 70 lbs and he's pushing about 450? :(

[@queenbfishing1941]

Stealth mode

[@queenbfishing1941]

I’m going back 5 years what we got.

[@elifaber40]

what is your book called?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Kayak Bass Fishing

[@puvlea83]

Dude. You caught the female that pulled you... I smashed one from shore yesterday. Looked like exactly size... I had the same reaction... shaking like a leaf!!!!

[@markwilliams5574]

woah, I learned a lot more than just fishing by 13minutes

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you.

[@daniel.l5232]

Your awesome!!!

[@kenburk7732]

sweet!

[@sdsaba]

Why was your fluke upside down

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Scott Saba it makes it dizzy so the action is better! J/k. It's nose hooked for better hookups.

[@dstewart4261]

maybe leave them alone to spawn

[@cocorkiller2322]

I dont fish bedded fish.. kills the population I feel

[@scottkelly2723]

.

[@dankerns1558]

Don't take the male and female out at the same time your leaving the fry with no protection nd your bass population will suffer

[@jj691]

All that effort to catch that fish , take him off the bed. I'm no expert but don't the majority of bass vacate the nest after being caught, thus leaving all those eggs to die , thus minimizing the bass population. Why catch 1 bass when you are jeopardizing losing 50

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

actually, they abandon the nest for a few moments, but they usually come back. it's the moment while it's off the bed and all the other little critters get at the eggs and releasing an exhausted fish back to the bed that hurts most. Unless there are too many of them, I don't fish beds.

[@troyreed4414]

I think if you watch again more closely that male wasn't guarding fry yet. He was just starting to prepare the bed while the female was still staging off somewhere.

[@stephanieschultz3394]

@@troyreed4414 usually there are fry when both female and male are around a bed.
