Why BASS Are The Greatest Fish (Biologist Explains)

[@TheBoundlessNexus]

All I can say Tyler, is this is EXACTLY the type of talk that people need to hear. It may not get amazing views yet, but brother please keep with it. Your platform has the reach to show others that God's creation needs our help to protect and cherish it.

@@TylersReelFishing that's the hardest lesson I had to learn... I've been cleaning local lakes, taking others fishing for free, etc... and get 1k views a video... BUT the other day someone told me I inspired someone with 200k to clean the same lake I normally visit... And TLDR, God may not use me, he may not even use you sometimes, but the message you're spreading is inspiring the world to save the thing you love, and brother that inspires me!

Just finished the video. Mind blown! Tyler, this series has been amazing. Please keep the collabs going with Steven!

[@chipseiler1766]

This is perhaps the most important series of videos you've ever produced. As a fisherman, I find it fascinating and eye opening. I enjoy learning how to catch more fish, but learning how to have more fish to catch... priceless! Normally I wouldn't watch and listen to a couple of people sit around and talk for an hour and 42 minutes, but I do care about the environment and how to do MY part to make whatever fishery I fish in the best and healthiest it can be. As I see other anglers, I can pass knowledge on that way, in a kind and courteous manner. I have also recommended fellow fishermen watch this series of videos. I don't know if they ever did, but I did MY part in spreading the word. I am saving each one and will do a refresher watch on these once every month or so until I can absorb as much of this knowledge as possible. Thanks to you and Steven for taking the time and effort to produce this series. Blessings!

[@crowe1974]

Thank you, Tyler, for having Steven on your channel. I've learned so much from watching this. I 10000% handle my bass differently and don't get upset when I see people keeping bass to eat.

Personally, this is the best content on KZbin right now. I could watch you two talk all day long and just soak up the information. Steven is a fantastic lecturer and his knowledge base is extensive. This series is certainly changing my view on fish but bass in particular.

[@ChapmanWolf]

I really hope we are living in a time where people start to harvest more and this knowledge reaches every angler and changes minds. My hometown’s lakes has 6 of the top 25 biggest bass, now a 4 lber is rare because of lack of harvest and invasive striped bass. Thank you Tyler, I really hope people keep taking this content seriously and that it changes minds so our fisheries can rebound and big bass will return!

Very interesting conversation. When you are discussing the effects of fish handling you quickly drift to a ecological perspective but as angles we should also keep in mind the individual fish and it's ability to feel pain and we should prevent unnecessary suffering for the fishes sake.

What is the ideal body temperature for bass (largemouth)? Also how far will bass migrate per day in search of ideal temperatures?

[@tjo-outdoors8514]

I live in south Louisiana right where hurricane ida hit, I was an offshore fisherman prior and got back to bass fishing right after the storm. From what I hear talking to locals on the bayous we had a major fish kill due to saltwater and oxygen loss. From bass clubs and other fisherman I’m hearing our fishery is in bad shape compared to prior of the storm. Kinda wish LDWLF would change limits to allow fish to recover and reproduce. I am seeing a lot of fingerlings from this past spawn and last year. Hopefully it bounces back.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Tyler I wish you would reach out to Steven to get his thoughts on the recommendation one of the Alabama Biologist that wants to put a 14-20 inch length slot on tournament fishermen only.. this new recommendation is bananas and he is trying to put that slot on the entire Coosa chain based off one study done at Neely Henry.

[@austinlonneberg1842]

man as a trout guy the bass handling talk is super I interesting (and kinda funny)

[@BrandonMemrick]

At my local lake for the past 5 years or so they’ve been adding Tiger Musky. My grandpa having fished this lake for many years before the Tiger Musky started being stocked has noticed that the bass haven’t been thriving like they used too. The smaller and bigger fish have faded out and we’re left with a bag of 3 pounders winning a tournament. We’ve thrown lures mimicking small bait fish at bass spots he once’s fish and the Tiger Musky have seemed to taken it over. I’m not saying there the only reason because a lot of Alewife have died because of bad cold fronts we’ve experienced in the spring but the Tiger Musky seem to of have taken a big part in it from what we’ve experienced.

[@timstewart6544]

[@caedenw4]

I'm really enjoying these videos and learning a ton from Steven. keep them coming! Im curious about the plants being tansported through breakoffs. usually the drain and dry guidance tells you to let it dry for 7 days. but if i'm understanding, some breakoffs can lie dormant for years? if so, wouldnt waiting 7 days be effectively pointless if you happened to miss even just one little broken off leaf? or worse, something microscopic that you cant even see?

[@TylersReelFishing]

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

@@TylersReelFishing Dont think so. Apparently this variety is only in the coosa river. I can for sure see the difference in them and all other "spots" I have caught in alabama. The coosa variety are just meaner/more aggressive, seem stronger... but they do get lots of current in the coosa, and they are shaped differently too. Anyway, I enjoy this type content very much! Keep it up, you are doing something different and not trying to sell baits and gear by saying crap like the "pros" do on tv. Keep up the good and original work. Oh, the less electrons videos you make, the better. NO FFS! Please

In WA state we're not supposed to eat fish out of lake Union because of pollution (you can fish though). And the connected lake (lake washington) has limits for how many of each fish you should eat per month. They even say to cut off as much fat as possible as most of the pollutants are stored in the fished fat, not its muscle.

These are great videos and really like hearing the science behind the fish mgmt process. If you get a chance I would like to know how common fizzing bass is in TX. I caught a bass in the 22ft depth range from a private TX lake during the winter, and it came out of the water dead. Never had that happen before and not sure if it was a combo of depth and water temp.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Hmm, usually they don’t straight up die that quickly. Probably a fish on the verge anyways

[@maxcole3930]

In the savannah river chain lakes, angler's have introduced the spotted bass years ago also. From what you're saying thier Alabama bass. Lake Russell is absolutely over ran with spots & their mostly all small. Clark's Hill is starting to get bad also. I hate it. I would much rather catch largemouth of a decent size to big one. Than catch a bunch of small spots! I wish those lakes had zero spots! Which is why I mostly fish lake Murray & other smaller lakes so I don't have to deal with it.

Lol if you think bass are the best fish species that tells me you don't have much experience. I love bass because of how acessible they are across the country and they are a really fun fish to catch, but there are a million species out there that are far more rewarding and are way cooler to catch.

[@timstewart6544]

I agree. I love bass fishing. 90+ % of my time is spent bass fishing. BUT…Once a year I head to the Salmon River and the first time you hook one of those studs you’ll realize bass and pound for pound don’t go together. I would say no fight like it but I’ve never hooked giant sea creatures. I’m sure people could always come up with a bigger, better fish to catch. So far I’ve not found a fish I don’t enjoy catching all the way down to bluegill on light tackle.

Tyler, you look nervous when you do these type shows. Lots of adjusting and looking and fidgeting. Have you ever tried yoga and meditation to calm your nerves. And no I'm not saying but into all the gibberish and astrology blah blah. Because I am also a man of God and don't believe in that junk but as someone who has attention problems and focus myself I have practiced yoga and meditation and it greatly helped me with being able to sit still and be an effective communicator without my mind racing a 1000000 miles an hour. I was the world's worst for finishing your sentences while talking just so I could say what I had already thought of next.

[@erniebrightfishing]

And apparently some people don't understand yoga and meditation. So let me break it down before you make a comment that you have to erase because you realize how ignorant you just looked just like the last fellow did. #1 my God is Jesus of Nazareth. The one true living God. #2 yoga is simply stretching while focusing on your breathing and trying to maximize the range of motion whenever you stretch. #3 meditation is time where you sit quietly focus on your breathing and try to feel your body relaxing. Focusing on every muscle in your body relax. A lot of time when I meditate it starts with a conversation with Jesus and I usually end it the same way. #4 nothing about yoga or meditation is evil. It's simply being in tune with your body. I hope this helps you to understand and know what the two are. Maybe if you feel so uptight that you have to make a rude comment you should give the two a try for yourself. It's only exercises and breathing folks. Don't have a heart attack. 😁.

[@kevinmabry8422]

No competitive fishing should allow barbed hooks.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Why draw the line there? Why not at “graphite rods”? Or at “braided line”? Or at “ball bearings in reels”?

[@kevinmabry8422]

@TylersReelFishing because those don't damage the fish. If roughly 30% of fish die after being caught in tournaments(roughly averaged from both cold and warm water tournaments), then tournaments effectively help cull out higher quality specimens by killing off the bigger and best fish each team catches... according to in fisherman, Hooks in mouths etc are one of the most obvious signs of being beaten up during these events. There can be no argument that barbed hooks cause more damage... some of our most amazing fisheries have already banned the use of barbs on tackle... the Boundary Waters Canoe Area being the most noteable. I personally fish mostly barbless all the time to prevent extra damage from poor or deep hooksets and allow for better chances at quick recuperation. Do you really think it a bad choice to have fisherman competing to catch the most and largest fish use less damaging means to catch said fish? One would think that the people who care so much about our sport and fisheries would worry a bit more about the health of the critters they are catching.

First I disagree taking toxic fish to a pet food place, that should be illegal. So, if every fisherman would stop fishing tomorrow, nature would not take care of itself. I eat fish but have not kept any lately.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Nature would not create amazing fisheries though with the proportions of catchable fish that humans want. Proper management can both give human a better experience and keep fisheries in pretty good check. Also, if the fish are toxic, of course don’t give em to people to use for pet food.
