[@JohnSmith-tz7iy]

Gerald is the reason I love jigs

[@lmsmbassaddict7378]

I've learned so much watching him over the years. I wish there was a way to tell him how much his style has helped me grow as a fisherman.

[@Wired2Fish]

He may see your comment here but check out his KZbin channel and drop him a comment there. He'll be sure to appreciate it! Thanks for watching -- wired2.fish/SwindleKZbinChannel

Last year during the Covid crush, I started fishing round ball jigs, " Brown & Green " cause the G-Man said to, and I have since given away ALL my other jigs, cause the round ball finesse jig " CATCHES " them all big , small , spotted, or brown , The G-Man is my new hero , I now catch more bass than I ever have and I been fishing for over 40 years, Thanks Gerald !!!!!

[@Wired2Fish]

Wow, talk about a fishing testimony! Thanks a ton for the comment -- we're sure Gerald will be looking at these comments soon enough too. Stay fishing bud!

[@ChurchThe3rd]

*sets the hook and there’s nothing* .. “Excuse me, had a call coming in” 😂😂 G-man is a national treasure!

[@Wired2Fish]

Yep, just dropping nuggets like this all day when you fish with him!

[@xOPER8Rx]

I see a Gerald Swindle video- I instantly watch and like. Why he doesn't have his own show is beyond me. Funny as hell and catches a fish every now and then with his junk fishing super powers. GMAN= Awesome. Wired2Fish- if you posted more Gman vids, I'd pay you twice what I do now.

[@catchofthedave8681]

Bro you aint wrong……he 100% needs his own series/show. He has another full career when he stops tourneys……everyone would watch it, he’s knowledgeable and funny.

This is one of my favorite times to fish, fins them in pads, matted grass, under docks and anywhere else where there is shade.

The GMAN is a Great Teacher. I Learned something Beneficial Today for August Bass Fishing. 👍👍👏👏

I came forth in a club tourney using this information. I am pretty I've watch this 3 times trying to remember all the info for future opportunities. Keep up the great videos and more g man.

Been watching g man all day he’s a great guy

[@ChrisOgle210]

Gman is one of those guys when he starts talking I shut up and listen. Solid advice every time

My brother loves this. He said he got a few fish with these. He love it so much he wouldn’t mind getting more for any holidays.

[@doyleshaw3063]

Good info G, thanks a lot and keep on keepn on.

[@malcolmzoll7613]

a lot of great information Gerald ,thanks for this video

[@DFWdarin]

I watched another Gerald video and my father took me bass fishing when i was a baby. and i've been doing it ever since. I fished for bass now for over 40 years and never liked or had confidence in a jig. I looked at them as ways to get hung up baits. After watching Gerald descibe a jig last winter I busted out all the jigs I had laying around and began fishing it at least once a trip. At first I sucked.. couldn't get a bite. Then one day in the following summer it happened. It just clicked. I was fishing it wrong. That day I caught a two lber on my second pitch with a jig. then five casts later a three lber. I have gone jig niuts now and will always have pone tied onm. I love Gerald. He's a great guy or one hell of a actor. Either way I can't thjank him enogh.

[@shawnbeck2303]

Been with Gerald and KVD since the Quantum days. K V D is retiring! I am going with Gerald Swindle. Learning to jig fish. Great video G-Man. Shawn.

[@jeffholder195]

Thanks G! I caught some this morning on the “balling out” jigs.

[@Wired2Fish]

Good stuff Jeff! 🎣

[@joshsinglefooter]

These are the videos that teach anglers how to reasonably fish offshore! Awesome content W2F. I.... guess you don't need me to tell yall that!

We appreciate it! Put a camera on Swindle, Guntersville (or anywhere) and hit record. Stand-up comedy meets bass fishing college education.

[@robertbarnes9323]

That's awesome Gerald Thankyou for the tip

[@buddymccormack8668]

that's where I have been finding them, that outside grass line. I have been using chatterbaits , swimjigs , and swimbaits on an underspin, but I'll give the jig a try

[@AngieGarner7]

Awesome!! Best time for me is warmer weather and deep , great video!!! Very informative!!! 👍🏻👊🏻

You bet. Yes, this was an excellent and helpful video. GMAN reveals tons of insight to help make us better anglers.

[@jeremypatrick5213]

I can't help but go in August I just started back fishing this summer and jig fish and grass is one of my favorites that's where I've had most of my luck so far still not catching both loads like you sir but I'm dang happy if I bring home two and one day and real real happy if I bring home bad or turn loose I should say

[@patrickmahoney3479]

You betcha Finaddict - we appreciate you watching and dropping a note. Good luck fishing the rest of your year.

[@Ro6String]

I have never been patient with jigs, caught a few nice ones, but if I'm not getting bit i reach for another rod and bait. Watched you video Monday, went out tuesday afternoon fishing from shore. Caught 3 small ones in 5 casts and a few casts later got a nice 4.2. Vital info on feeling the weight of the jig. I was banging it off rocks in less than a foot of water, could not feel the jig weight, reeled down quickly and set the hook. Thanks for the awesome video, I'll be fishing jigs in the heat all the time now.

[@mikemason4792]

Thank you. Great tutorial.

[@Wired2Fish]

Glad it was helpful Mike, we appreciate your time.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

Great video. Good technique. I'll have to try it sometime when I find grass.

[@TimHaunFishing]

This wasn't just useful for jig fishing. Just the explanation of pulling baits through glass took away some of the mystery for me. This is quickly becoming my favorite informative fishing channel.

[@Wired2Fish]

This is the time of the year water is above 80 so i have to put my musky gear down. I was a bass fisherman before anything and my fav way to catch em is in the thick heat pitchin, flippin precise cover.

This VIDEO is AMAZING 😻

[@mikesturgill4846]

Hey Big G! Love your videos brother wherever I can find them. I’m like a sponge trying to learn whatever and whenever I can when not on the water. I only get on the water once a week but that’s rain or shine so you fill in the gaps for me in between. Hands down one of the best teacher there ever was or is. Watching and listening to you I can tune everything else out. Ok I’ll stop before you think I’m gonna ask you out on a date. This is and older video so don’t know if you’ll see this but have a question. What reel handle grips do you use? Can’t find any that fits me exactly. I can’t afford all the same brand reels so I have about 15 different brands and want them all to feel more the same. If you took the time to read this freakin book I wrote ya maybe you will let me know some to try. Appreciate you buddy and all of team Swindle!

[@mikejohnston80]

Wish this was out yesterday. I fished a river tournament today. I switched to a half ounce jig late in the day. Caught 2 4 lbers and a 1.6 too little too late.

[@Wired2Fish]

Sounds like it was a good learning day for you Michael. A productive jig pivot late in the day produced some beauties 👍.

How can you tell when a small dot it a fish or a small rock?

[@RG-cd3uf]

One benefit of living up north is water don't normally get that hot. And if it does its not for long

[@jakeevans4858]

Curious did have you always cast left handed or was it something you had to learn? I see the benefit I would assume you have a better shot of catching on the fall

[@Wired2Fish]

Hi Jake, we're not 100% sure but know that Swindle has always been a huge proponent of casting/pitching/flipping with both hands due to the enhance efficiency. Most definitely helps with detecting quick bites on the fall by eliminating the hand switch.
