As a fairly new fisherman, this is extremely helpful. I hadn't been reeling in slack line, and that explains a lot. Thanks!

[@mikebledsoe2315]

*And this is why Nick is known as The InformativeFisherman. Sweep hook set for treble hooks rod pointed at the lure, got it!*

[@eastwoodccj]

For reel! (pun intended) Trying that out tomorrow for sure

[@Jiraiyashouse666]

Very grateful you for this tutorial. I've been a long time trout and salmon fisherman and setting the hook on Bass has been one of my biggest challenge. Thank you for the in depth info...You are by far the most informative fisherman on KZbin!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you for saying that! I have a bunch of awesome shows coming up this season!

[@cohesive3482]

Hands down the most informative fisherman on KZbin. Thanks for all that you do!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thank you!!!

[@cohesive3482]

No! Thank you!

[@mr.fatbasstard648]

Thanks Nick. This information is priceless for reducing one of the worst reactions when it comes to setting a hook...PANIC!! I have seen Anglers with 10-20 years of experience who still panic. This is great information to ingrain into an entry level angler before bad habits set in. Once the proper hookset becomes part of the 'thought process' when you're tying on a lure the confidence level goes up along with the hookup ratio and the Panic level goes down. Thanks again for sharing IF.

Such an important video as my arsenal and success increases. Every time you are on a bait you learn that you need a different type of hook set. I started fishing 2 + years ago and bass fishing the last 6 months, and I still feel like a total novice. These tips are so incredibly useful, I've been sharing them with all my friends I'm getting into fishing.

[@timothyperiard7048]

Hey Nick, Great info! I have learned something here and can't wait to get on the water to use it. I have lost many fish with the "slack line" issue you have mentioned here and really did not know how to address it until I seen your video today. I really like to sweep hook set and makes a lot of sense. I will be subscribing. Thanks again.

[@kurthoelter3495]

pure gold. school was never so much fun. thanks.

[@Elliot1949]

This is first class instructional material made public!! Awesome job Nick Smith!!

[@semoyakfishingdude3677]

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

I'm gonna fish my way across the USA , and on that subject, we are starting out by going from SoCal to Vegas, to AZ, to TX, to FL, to N.Y. over the next 3 months......... can you give me some ideas for good lakes, rivers, streams in and around those cities and states? Thanks again Nick you are without a doubt the most Informative Fisherman I know lol cheers sir and I wish you good luck and hook ups

[@andrewpayne2811]

[@devyncole7435]

So I'm just now learning how to use a baitcaster reel and fish. And.. thank you for the video. I have no idea how to fish so this is a ton of help.

[@MrMJ6358]

Thanks for the vid. I am a beginning Bass fisherman and this info is what I needed.

[@chealzb2518]

Thank you! Straight to the point! Very well explained. You make it really easy to understand. 👍🏻

[@kentaylor5228]

You certainly do give awesome info about so many varieties and technics. No wonder u are the info man. great gob.

[@calebholmes1575]

Wow this is really helpful!! INFO fisherman you are the man 💯

[@jeremyjames87]

absolutely love all your videos!!! Helps us out so much!

[@bensdad5]

Thanks Nick! Excellent instruction and much appreciated!

[@christopherpettersen2359]

Great info. Just started using the N.E.D rig, hooked a decent fish, and fumbled on the hook set..... too much previous info had me paranoid on the hook set, and afraid of bending the light hook. Needless to say, it was a catch and L.D.R (long distance release)-

[@InformativeFisherman]

lol, it happens

[@christopherpettersen2359]

InformativeFisherman Kudos to you brother! I have been killing it with the NED rig and knowing (now) the proper hookset. To prove it to myself, I have been fishing a extremly pressured small public floating dock at a popular resevoir for 5 days straight, with only half hour sessions, I managed ten LMB's, and one SMB. Nothing record breaking, all in the 1.5 - 3lb range, but still enjoyable none the less! Thanks for the vidoes, appreciate it.

[@royalflukes4148]

been wanting to see a vid like this for awhile now thank you so much now just need one with using these style baits and detecting a bite

[@InformativeFisherman]

I will give that one some thought

[@IRFANCAST]

Can't wait to try it for Peacock Bass fishing,tournament coming in a day..must make each bite count Thank you for the tips!

[@smugcheese5021]

SwimbaitFreak Good luck! 😉

[@o3djeeps]

Amazingly informative video! Thanks @InformativeFisherman!

[@j.rvlogs4511]

+informativefisherman it would be really cool if you did a fishing video with some boys outs and cub scouts in your local area and teach them a few thing on bass fishing and fishing in general

[@ontopfishing4897]

The tip about he jerkbait really stood out to me. That helps me a lot now thx

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thanks brother, yeah that one is a biggie!

[@jayhu6264]

Always gotta get the perfect bass master classic camera angle hook set

[@bboyrygis]

Great info. Can't tell how many times someone has tried to hard set on a crank bait and almost hook me.

[@johnsemar107]

finally, i always struggle with the hook set!

[@ryanmiranda3695]

I've been having trouble setting the hook when I frog fish. I hit it to early, or I wait too long. I either rip it's face off, or give it enough time to spit it out. Granted I haven't had a bigin blow up on me yet but I still should be able to land them

[@kevpia118]

Thanks for sharing your fishing skills, much appreciate!!

[@sydneylangston2504]

Thank you im a begining fisherman and this helped me so much🖒

[@frankieromantv7653]

Nick very informative thanks! One question my BC has trouble reeling line on bigger fish over 12lbs should i tighten drag all the way? When trying to land fish?

[@brdlo028]

awesome vid learned a lot. I also wonder if your neighbors ever watch you film your videos lol

[@InformativeFisherman]

Lol, I don't think they are impressed

[@TheWaymont]

Hey Nick. I was watching a Glenn May video where he says to ALWAYS drop your rod and give some slack before setting the hook with jigs. It seems you have an opposite idea. Is he referring to a different amount of slack that what you are talking about? Thx

[@dellervinjr]

Yoooo, Nick havent seen you in the " Disco Bay " area!

[@SargesAdventures]

Good info, I am gonna save it on my channel. New Sub here from Missouri...... Thanks for sharing !!

[@galarza785]

Hi Nick.. I have a Helios Reel with a 40lb Test P-Line TCB Braid line. How can spool my reel with out the line digging in it. Also If I put the drag on full if I reel a fish the handle stays spinning with the spool in still position. Please help me..

[@coolbeans2098]

Great vid nick !

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thanks bro!

[@dragonli1863]

[@InformativeFisherman]

You got it!

[@marcodrs]

Thanks man, really help me 👍

[@tylers1710]

Does copolymer line float? I have some "fluorocarbon coated line" and I am wondering if it floats before I spool up. I want to throw little poppers with it. Thanks in advance!

[@InformativeFisherman]

Outdoorsman 270 poppers work find all pretty much all lines but co's can vary

[@Elliot1949]

Excellent video!!

[@MattyIceBlackjackIV]

[@robertrplus5325]

Nice class Nick.

[@Mishbah33]

nice video.. i am a south asian village Fisherman..

[@witcher9917]

Are you in Stockton?

[@brentricencfishing7711]

does the type of line also determine how to set the hook?

[@InformativeFisherman]

Brent Rice NC fishing it's the same

[@mex1canboy02]

love the system of a down intro

[@BRExteriorPro]

does this go for other fish aswell ? or just bass ? reel down and set ?

[@InformativeFisherman]

redcon1gear same, its mostly about the lure

[@stephendonnelly6251]

Thanks so much for the tips

[@coltonsheffield9741]

[@eyre1720]

[@jmcedits5852]

super good video very informative and you don't waste time or say useless shit

[@Wheelinhunter1776]

thanks for the info. now I just need to find a place I can get to near turlock where I can bank fish from my wheelchair since I don't have a boat and can't afford a guide lol.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Craig Garrett thanks bro, do you know Jimmy Nease? He fishes from his wheelchair and might know a few good bank spots for you.

[@MrWheelchairPreacher]

@@InformativeFisherman Indeed. Just seeing this comment.

[@giannosplkn5948]

If i wait to feel the weight of the fish after the bite, it will pass 5 seconds. It will not expel the hook before i set the hook??? :o

[@hashslingingslasher6862]

How would you set the hook on a rattle trap(Rat-L-Trap)

[@chasingthefish9042]

Sweeping hookset. If it's got treble hook no matter what sweep the hook set. Single point hooks are best with a upward hookset. Small hooks you use a upward lean.

[@TheSamuraiRonin]

The thing is, I feel the bite but everytime I try to set it, nothing. Rarely I catch fish. Also I get snagged a lot on bottom rigs & end up losing my bait/hook/rig/sinker.

[@jacobgodfrey5358]

great way to cut in scene after scene

[@halohalo2498]

Yea what he said

[@jl5312]

Awesome!

[@Wheelinhunter1776]

[@InformativeFisherman]

[@Wheelinhunter1776]

InformativeFisherman if you're talking about Donnelly park there is no fishing only feeding the carp bread.
