What Bass See (B.Lat #25) How to Select Lure Colors

In this video I talk about the science behind what a bass can see underwater. Bass do see color and the color selection of your baits should be contingent on the surrounding environment. Be sure to Subscribe, Comment and Like. I will always do my best to respond. Thanks for watching. ~B.Lat

Everytime I have a question, I look it up and sure enough there are your videos to teach me exactly what I need to know

[@thestime]

Wow, that was definitely the BEST video I ever seen explaining the bait color topic and how the bass see those colors at different depths. I wish I had seen this a long time ago. Thanks Brian and good fishing to you my friend!

[@davidhelfrich6487]

Short, tons of info, clear to understand. More like this especially for a fish finder tuts

[@stick4793]

These videos keep getting better and better. Thanks for the hard work!

[@megalowdonny3152]

I really appreciate this video man, it’s informative and laid out in a really nice format. Color selection in lures is something I normally struggle with, so this has helped me a good amount. Thank you for making it!

[@infishingwetrust3810]

Good video man. Been watching your stuff for the while. Keep up the good work.

I love your show I learn a lot you have a very good way of breaking down the baits in a very easy understanding matter.and you take your time explaining the baits and presentation of them.thank you Brian.

[@user-ro9dz4of5y]

Thank you for the education!! Very informative and detailed, yet very easy to understand!

[@theruralones3194]

[@Hellofrank35]

Awesome Info B!! Appreciate it!!

[@user-vf4eb8hz9m]

Excellent Video... I've had the same experience with Bright Green Lures in stained/muddy water and natural colors in clear water!! SPOT ON!!!

[@trivas5991]

Dope video B. Lat, definitely a big help to those who want to follow your shoes for a W. Science is something many of us have left out

[@danielyourko1714]

Great job Brian. Very interesting. I’ll have keep this in the back of my head.

[@The-LongRoad-Home]

Your videos are absolutely excellent man thank you so much🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@sheliagrigsby123]

Thanks Brian you cleared up a few things iv been thinking about!

[@williambaker1753]

Contrast and the silhouette of a bait up against a background or bottom is the key to make a lure stand out everything Brian said in this video is very important and should be practiced because your bait could be the perfect size action and speed but if a fish can't see or pinpoint the lure they can't hit it the better a fish can see a bait the bigger and further the strike zone becomes.

[@roberthopper7325]

This was a great video on an often overly complicated topic. Thanks.

[@LDQBBQ]

Very informative and well done. Thank you.

[@caseylrand]

Dude....one of the most informative videos I've seen on lure selection. THANK YOU B!

[@caseylrand]

I hope you kill it in 2018!!

[@loomisoutdoors5045]

Second video of yours and I'm a subscriber... Very informative!

[@wesleynelson1776]

Great video! Educational and yet still entertaining.

[@robvaillancourt4]

Very well done B. Lat. Thank you from Canada.

Super helpful man. Thanks for uploading this.

[@bankboyzfishinginc.3849]

[@thomasleebrown3136]

Thank You Brian; This is good information !

[@rogerdudra178]

Thanks, BLat. I studied the same thing on Montana trout for a very long time. The study of light and creek depth. Good stuff.

[@usmc3003]

Getting an education today! Thank you!

[@rmac585]

Love these videos! Excellent information and that would take time to collect and understand, so thanks for doing the work too! lol.

[@paulbaker4248]

Love the videos B later. Keepem coming

[@BassMaster.454]

Green pumpkin is my go to color

[@frontierjustice]

Killer video my friend! Very well explained and a gold mine of key info you don't really hear a lot about.

[@ouncesthebasssnatcher5255]

Another great video B Lat!

[@danielballard584]

Great video man good topic. Good luck out there brother.

[@adam84ify]

Very informative B Lat thank you!

[@ZachsAdventures63]

I’m a little late to this one, but this video is awesome! Very insightful on how colors effect bass! I will definitely take this knowledge to the water! Thanks a lot!

[@damian8mac8]

Great video, awesome info!

[@hotrod539]

Thanks man loved the video iv always wondered how that works

[@The-LongRoad-Home]

Dude I love your approach!!! Subbed for sure!!!! for instance red is the first color in the spectrum to disappear underwater, Love it man thank you!

[@darrylshisler2636]

I know this is an older video and have previously watched, but it is well worth the revisit to refresh my memory. 👍🏻

[@willclements1257]

Hey B. Lat you should look into using a Secchi disk to objectively measure water clarity. I find that one persons idea of "muddy" water can be different from another person's depending on the different fisheries they frequent. Using a Secchi disk is a helpful scientific approach to measuring clarity and it has helped me find patterns and record data in my logbook. Making one at home is pretty easy with an 8in grinder disk, white spray paint and a long measuring tape.

[@northwestoregonfishing1716]

Here to learn about steelhead eyes as well. Never really thought about red turning so dark in deep water before. Definitely useful to know for winter steelhead.

[@crazyobservations3080]

Iv only recently taken an interest in bass fishing. Standing in the bait shop in front of a rainbow of lures is a bit intimidating. Especially at 3-20 dollar price points. Its hard to know if your just wasting money for a certain color of bait until you catch or don't catch fish with them. This was a very helpful vid

[@dankay7982]

You, Sir, earned my subscription.

[@terristobert1367]

wow ! depth the darker ..the( light prism )really gave the explanation id needed to here ..shallow lighter ...chartreuse was always conundrum for me . Great education ..TY !

[@JohnSattoCH]

Love it! 👊

[@milehigh3054]

every useful knowledge..thank you

[@cpk2GIRL]

Big, small - Dark, or light. This is great advice!

[@fwood1231]

Thanks for a spot on video. The comment references to Doug Hannon are on the money. You are the Professor.

[@rhabdob3895]

That was the best explanation of this subject I have found so far. You had me at “rods and cones.” Great video

[@WilliamRockseo]

Very helpful video thank you

[@fromtheedge2theledge]

great informative video on colors. Thanks for sharing. Please keep them coming.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Love the details. Subbed!

[@Ace_XD]

You are a master angler sir!!

[@scottwieder7482]

Excellent video.

[@nathanbranch8789]

Great video. I wish I saw this years ago. I fish lake Robinson in Greer which has been called the mini Hartwell. I def have some adjustments to make. Thanks

[@gee3883]

Great info dude thanks

[@jacobmills8046]

Vary vary great video really helps out thank you sir

[@vancetaylor7345]

As always you're on top and in touch with the pulse , thank you so much for imparting so much knowledge , you're one of my top guru's , for as long as you're here on the scene , I pray for the energy that it takes you to bring the research that you have and will in the future , I hope to meet you some day , hey wouldn't it be great if I could have my friend that also has a you tube show like yours put you onto some redfish , flounder or saltwater trout , his is off Charleston inshore fishing , A FishingFriendZee production , he's a great guy and a conservationist fisherman down in Awendaw , SC.

[@Bloodsport83125]

good information man, I was just wondering this the other day. great vid

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

thanks for watching!!!

[@alonzoharris1467]

Thanks for the good information. Ive been watching u on KZbin. I'm in Fayetteville,north Carolina

[@nathanellis914]

Great video!!!!!

[@greggdsciotto8952]

Thank you!

[@AutomaticUniverse]

Thanks for the info dude.

[@streamfishingguy7476]

Great info man! I just subbed btw, to show some love & support! Keep doing what you do!

[@shawnbeck2303]

Doug Hannon in reincarnation. Great Teacher! Good luck B. LAT. SHAWN

[@Shurmash]

Junebug is the best new color I've used. Great dark contrast and the green flake looks like fish scales.

[@willperryman4559]

Great Video B Lat, Good Luck in 2019

[@nathanellis914]

Lol. I was just thinking this exact thing. ...I concluded that I never want a bass to actually " See" my bait unless I'm bed fishing. I want the bass to not have a chance to think about it.

[@leongossett5691]

Thanks for the help.

[@cybacto2904]

Brian, this video is by far the best and most useful I've ever seen on color for bass fishing. Now blue worms make more sense to me. I fish 3 local lakes with very different water clarity from 1 foot max on one lake, 2 to 3 ft on another, and 6 to 8 ft on the 3rd. Come springtime and I will definitely be trying to use what you explained. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Thanks man!!! its a much deeper subject but the most important things to remember I try to cover in this video. thanks for watching man

[@pogoshad990]

One thing that I think is worth consideration too with regards to contrast is what perspective does the fish have to the bait. Example I always use is Strike King’s green gizzard Shad. Looking down or perhaps sideways it is green gizzard. Look up to the bait on a bright sky and it is PINK.

[@Glock-1]

Great video!

[@funkymojo111]

Mid August, heat waves for last 2 weeks in SoCal. Dark and stained waters in my urban creek. White spinnerbaits, purple worms, and Zoom worms in methiolate working. Still learning about color selection.

[@Luke-te6fn]

YOU ARE DA MAN! THANKS!!!!!!

[@josepha.4072]

Great explanations

[@OffshoreOffice]

I really like your videos!

[@collinbilly4072]

Great informative video

[@samhardwick7806]

Great video man, now I can kind of see how the conditions of the area that you fish dictates in a way the colours and approaches that we take, and this will help me heaps because the dam that I usually fish has a lot of varied depths and water clarity, and if you find the time you should look into coming to Australia to catch some hella big fish 🤙🏻

[@kyleadams1215]

Well pink does mimic an earthworm sort of but your right crazy how a bass will eat something out of the ordinary

[@pissywilly]

I've just started bass tournament fishing having never bass fished. (I'm not from USA but live there now) boy is it a steep learning curve. They are tricky critters to catch at times. VERY interesting video thanks and subbed.

[@ronmcconnell4938]

pissywilly I wish you all the best on the tournament trail and a big welcome to the good old U S of A

[@pissywilly]

@@ronmcconnell4938 thank you Sir! That means a lot! :)

[@gethiggywitit7338]

Awesome video

[@dwightgholson6084]

I've never seen anyone cover this topic before. I am new to freshwater fishing and plastic lures. This was very helpful. I'm using this information to go after northern snakeheads.

[@ozzfest12349]

Tight lines my friend. No better time to get on the water than during all this craziness.

[@nathanaellingerfelt6314]

Very informative, thanks! I guess Peric is right about the chartreuse squarebill in bluish water 😂

[@jj61051]

As usual very good information. Loving the mug I got in the giveaway. Thanks you Brian

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Thanks for watching Jonathan. Im glad you got the stanley much. They make great products. Check out their web site for all types of coolers and mugs
