[@mikee9464]

God, the more I watch and hear this guy....the more I like him. He is growing to be my favorite pro

[@MoMan.88]

I could listen to GMAN talk all day , good stuff!!

[@trevorschneiderfishing]

Gerald thanks for the info. Has anyone ever said you and Matthew McConaughey sound similar?

[@bmurr7]

They oughta have G-Man start doing Toyota ads like the Mathew McConaughey Lincoln ads...

[@michaelloucks4448]

I hear you Mr Miller that Guy is just awesome. Hey Mr Miller is really funny he's got an excellent personality. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri. Ps hey Mr Miller I'm moving to Texas in two months you think I'm going to catch a big bass.

[@LarryMazar]

The best in depth full explanation of skipping ever. He covered ALL aspects of skipping as only the G-Man can. Thanks!

[@Tdubya48]

"Respect my Autoritay!!!!" Great thing about G-Man, he is an excellent speaker and is hilarious to boot. Love to watch him!

[@Kadjain3]

It’s hard to watch some videos because people aren’t talking to educate, they’re talking to show off how much they know. It’s easy to watch your vids. Thanks, bro

[@RickRice-by4eq]

I just started fishing 4 months ago & Sir you broke that down So Well a person would have to be an idiot not to understand.. I Really appreciate it... I'm going like and subscribe... Thanks again.. Ricky from Pittsburgh,Pa.

[@randyhoobler9654]

GMAN IS AN ICON! Love this guys energy and enthusiasm!

[@Freshmanger2009]

I can listen to this man talk all day.

[@jeremyrocher8899]

I’m 47 and haven’t really bass fished since I was younger. So to say I’ve just really started bass fishing. This is probably the best skipping video I’ve watched. Thanks for all the good info.

[@benwoodard384]

Great video & Matthew McConaughey did an awesome job with the voice over!

[@drudow]

LOL, I just noticed the similarities in their voices.

[@kagebro11]

hahahaha

[@Ttschirky]

Gettin “flustrated” learnin. Gonna keep practicing. Great video

[@skysoldier173rdabn5]

And this is why Gerald Swindle is the best at what he does. The devil is in the details and he is spot on.

[@davidnewton3064]

I'm pretty sure I just found a dude I could consider a favorite fisherman. Good explanation of the mechanics of the cast or technique. And the commentary is hilarious with the Southpark references in the McConnaughy voice!

[@irod7]

Great tips Gerald is a legend 👏

[@Nate_Cross]

This is the single greatest fishing how-to video ever made

[@connorscuriosity3520]

This information is immensely useful. I'm joining my high school fishing team this year and one of our lakes will be cedar creek reservoir and if you can't skip boat docks you're at a disadvantage! I just tried this for the first time on a small stock tank with modest success. Yeah, it's on my channel! I appreciate all the tips. Have a great week!

[@Wired2Fish]

Congratulations on getting up and running with high school angling, and thanks for checking out this content. It's an excellent tutorial for sure. Keep at it on all fronts Connor -- fishing, KZbin, etc.!

[@austinroy6576]

G-man dropping that knowledge one of the best fisherman out there

[@guyb5333]

WOW! What a fantastic seminar on skipping. Thanks G-Man

[@way75mit9]

I started watching " The G-Mans " training video's back before Covid hit , and I quickly learned that if you listen to his instructions and copy exactly what he's teaching, YOU can improve your catch's " BIG TIME" cause I sure have, first thing I did was give away ALL of my other style jigs and started fishing round ball 3/8 finesse jigs, Brown & Green or Black & Blue is all I use, except for a White conventional swim jig I also learned that I could not roll cast with a Baitcasting reel to save my own life, But I have perfected flipping, skipping, and backhand casting with a Spincast combo ( Zebco 33) and 15 lbs line, So Thanks to The G-Man for all his Knowledge and for helping us weekend warriors learn how not to look stupid on the water and catch more fish " ROLL TIDE " !!!

[@gregorydoerfler7681]

Gman great video. You present the reasons how, why, and when without smokin crack! Thanks for the great outline at the end.

[@johnky100]

Da skip-to-mie-Lou legend. I saw one of his skippin vid a few yrs ago. Got motivated and made it out to the lake. 1st cast skippin: POOF massive bird nest. Spent 10 mins fixin da nest. That was da last time I tried skippin.

[@chadtindell4388]

By far the best skipping video I have ever seen g is the man and tells it like it is! A lot goes into this technique awesome video G

[@Wired2Fish]

We appreciate it Chad. He managed to go steady for 25 minutes straight! Just a GMAN brain dump, but he just keeps dropping nuggets.

[@timscruggs7611]

Thoroughly enjoyed Gmans attitude and antics since meeting him in Richmond. Love to see more how to videos from a hilarious guy. THANKS GMAN!

[@northernbigguns]

his discussion with the fish at 21:15 is awesome.

[@z0ob0y]

I could listen to Swindle all day.

[@BasslivesmatterLLC]

My top 5 fav anglers and I could listen to him talk all day dude just a trip 😆 he seem to keep it 💯

[@DavidMccallister65]

I think the biggest thing you said in the entire video was, "Skipping is an entire technique. It's not just one cast." That's game folks! 😎🇺🇸🤙

[@ronniemartin8391]

I could listen to him all day

[@Davvid1]

Thank you so much. This is really good info. And you hit on things I've done it do. And the reasoning why and why not makes total sense. Again thank you

[@OhMyLarryFishing]

GMAN always giving up the juice!! 🥤

[@af4od02]

Excellent advice. The one tip Gerald mentioned, that I cannot figure is “the gear ratio of 6.8”? Gerald says he has tried all the ratios and 6.8 ratio casts/skips best. 17:12. I don’t doubt his advice, I just can’t see how a gear ratio affects the dynamics of a skip cast. Thanks.

[@anglingadventureswithjim9094]

OMG GMan. Seriously!!! This is so good. No Great! Thanks.

[@g-rod5199]

Love watching GMan skip docks! Great video and refresher on skipping!

[@druewilson1079]

Love G Man my favorite of all time will watch any tournament when there a camera in his boat

[@rebas04]

Wow, what an awesome educational video, one of the best. Thank you

[@michaelloucks4448]

Hey Mr swindle excellent video that is the best video I've seen on dock skipping. God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.

[@johnpetrea]

Thank You, Mr. Swindle!!

[@Wired2Fish]

Welcome!

[@TimHaunFishing]

That was an incredibly useful video, thank you.

[@Wired2Fish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@holtwhitson8857]

Best skipping video I've seen.

[@Nutakins]

Lol "respect my authoritie fish" Great lesson and very enjoyable, thanks!

[@skinnyslims5327]

“If you go skipping docks and think your not gonna hang, you’re smoking crack”- The G man.

[@johnwheeler5916]

Lol that flustrated gets me every time

[@LowBrowFishing]

It took me a long time to figure out how to skip properly. Most importantly, I had to find what works for me. It's not about showboating, it's about putting your bait back farther than other baits have been. I started with a worm and worked from there. I suggest if you're new to skipping, go out on a body of water, any water, and practice. Use a fluke or a wacky rig to start. Don't have 30,000 feet of line hanging off the end. Keep the line kind of close until you figure out the mechanics and then back it off slowly. Think slingshot.

[@clintonbruning]

This was an awesome video. I have noticed the bow of the boat height matters a lot too. It’s way easier when you’re in a fiberglass boat because they sit lower than say the 12 foot vhull i use which sits higher. Keep your trolling motor as close to flush mounted to the boat as you can get too.

[@TheNomadBowhunter]

20:45 for the next 2 minutes is pure gold

[@beavisbrowne3497]

The backhand...incredible

[@patrickgazzara3992]

Great tips G, my new moto "If you thump my line I will lay hands on you". Love it.

[@Shiloh3498]

Thanks G man! Incredible video!

[@Lextauph]

I have been practicing skipping for the past month on my pond outside. Ive used my daiwa tatula sv tw on a kaden 713, a curado dc on a st croix mojo bass 7' medium and then a curado bfs on a sierra 700c. From these I really felt the rod speed made so much difference. I will perfectly skip like 6/10 casts on the sierra that has a lot more flex then the mojo bass like 4/10 then the kaden like 2/10. At this point for me the skipping is more dependant on the rod.

[@tablerockkid8237]

Yep, now it is time to try it some more since the ice is thawed. 😛😛

[@stoneysdead689]

It's all down to how you skip I guess- watch Steve Rogers skip and notice he's using an extra fast rod- which is what he recommends for skipping. He does caution you that you need one with a god flexible, crisp tip but, he likes extra fast.

[@richardj6593]

Great wisdom Sir!

[@1MoreFish]

Man, I just love learning from the G Man. My new term is "lumpy water". Learned a lot from this and it will be my go-to video for tuning my skipping technique,

[@Wired2Fish]

Thank man. Real happy to hear this. Swindle is a fishing teaching savant for sure.

[@rodcashman4793]

Fantastic information 👌 Thank you for sharing 👍

[@malcolmzoll7613]

I really appreciate your Video a lot of great information keep them coming 👍

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks, will do Malcolm. We appreciate you watching.

[@manifestgtr]

It’s probably not perfect for beginners but my absolute favorite skipping rod is my conquest 844c (the 844c isn’t just a $700 conquest taper/power…loomis offers it in a few of their lines). But that mbr taper allows you to absolutely rocket your jig, etc. with minimal effort. What everyone says about your brakes is 100% true…don’t max out your brakes. Treat it like any other casting technique and just use your thumb for control, that’s all. It’s not that difficult…if an idiot like me can do it, *anyone* can do it.

[@HarlyGuy13]

Packed full of great advice. Thank you!

[@WestCoastChris138]

The goat. Damn this was a good vid, nice job boys 💯🔥👍🏻

[@67manderson]

Awesome video thanks for the great advice

[@jeffgriffin6089]

Great job with this ! Enjoyed it.

[@nickforest]

Great stuff! I’m just a beginner but the information I’ve gained from this video is awesome!

[@Wired2Fish]

This is what we love hearing. Thanks for watching. You'll be skipping like G in no time!

[@bmclegg1]

Gman has been around for a long time in bass fishing he knows what he’s talking about.

[@maxrogers762]

Gman is THE MAN!! Roll Tide!!

[@Ripnlips83]

Awesome video! I do wish he went over the step by step mechanics of the cast

[@williamthompson109]

good job, my boys 12 & 16 watch not so much to learn you are the most entertaining, maybe by accident they learn something "thanks"

[@mattolivo]

Cocoa Puffs are Pretty good ya know...Lol G man's little one liners are second to none...!!!

[@zacharygraham4097]

skipping for entertainment purposes everyone should watch dean rojas skip a frog. incredibly accurate its wild. great video as is everything with g man.

[@rossrobichaux9425]

i'm high and to the left every time. so what should i loosen? spool tension, knob on cover, or internaml breaks on spool under cover?

[@BillaBong1]

Love this man. Almost if not all his teaching i get what he saying lol. Im a noob when bass fishing and when i see and understand how a person teach a tecnique clearly like him i can become a real better fisherman. Not once in this video i had to stop and rewind back to try to understand and rewatch how he did the techniue. Bravo bravo. I closer to becoming a better angler

[@earniederboven5100]

great info on this topic i learned alot by this video...so what do u think about a 6;4;1 ratio reel for skipping? thanks gerald gman...

[@tomselick6983]

Gman My two 6.* reels cast the best, hardest to backlash I think ur right about lower gear ratios backlashing a little less

[@jakeblaha9233]

What kinda reels are you using?

[@regford3572]

This is my guy here!

[@muskietime]

Excellent G-Man Tutorial. That lake looks so beautiful and peaceful….and very expensive! Hell, I’d be happy living in one of those 2-story the boathouses! Any idea which lake this video was filmed on? Be well.

[@jeremyduncan9165]

I really like this dude!!

[@mikehamm007]

Good stuff 🎣

[@harrymetz5218]

Learned more about skipping in 24 minutes than I had ever learned.

[@numbskullsfishing9429]

dude,I love this

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks. GMAN at his finest.

[@jarrodbriggs8246]

Ok just wondering about the rod. I know he said 7’3 med heavy with a shorter butt on it. So I see the rod bending like a whip with a 3/8 oz jig on it. I guess the action and the lure weight for the rod would be a major factor as well. Awesome video guys a badass.

[@Nowimlivinginthecreek]

This guy knows his stuff

[@Wired2Fish]

You've got that right!

[@bzi9935]

Yo Gman, the only thing moving on a cast is the spool. The gears have absolutely nothing to do with the cast only when reeling. The Spool "Free Spools" on a cast, meaning it is free to spin on it own. You still Da Man man tho Brotha!!!

[@LunkerQuest67]

Great video!

[@beavisbrowne3497]

Simply amazing. This takes skill not spotlighting

[@Tacklemaniac]

I about died when he said, “YouGoober” 😂

[@johnmango6056]

Buy some spool speed bearings. Greatest piece of skipping advice I have ever received and it’s not even close

[@donmey8109]

Thank you for good stuff

[@theamateurangler6273]

Love these video's, i could watch and learn all day. Unfortunately With FFS taking over, these kinds of instructional videos will be irrelevant if you plan on being super competitive at tournament fishing.

[@Nutakins]

Perfect timing!

[@davidhenderson1738]

Good race!👍

[@mike-gc4gz]

I wonder if it would be easier to skip with a medium heavy or heavy action spinning rod. I fish a couple of lakes most of the time that don’t have any docks. Now that I am retired I plan on moving to a house on a big lake. This is a very informative video thanks for the lesson.

[@theunluckyfisherman4845]

It is easier to skip with a spinning reel yes but you lose efficiency at a professional level. You have to do a lot more with your hands when using a spinning rod whereas with a baitcaster you can cast by just using your thumb

[@corysturgis6660]

If tournament fishing I would have one one hand for windy days. Plus. I can't skip a baitcaster nor want to endure the frustration of it.

[@luckykazivlog8782]

Wow amazing!

[@itllkeal]

I use a spinning reel for or a zebco closed face reel to skip or I can't do it at all

[@ShacksOutdoorAdventures]

give man a mic and the man can talk...most entertaining in bass fishing

[@adamlightner3171]

Awesome 👏

[@mikeclarkson4295]

Interesting stuff G, no left hand just right cast or back arm cast

can you show how to skip docks on the back of the boat i ride with my cousin

[@FishingwithD]

G is toooooo funny 😄!!!!

[@jacobroberts4241]

Sound like me skipping docks with a whopper plopper yes its possible and u can also skip a dropshot with a flatworm you just need to go down to 8 inch leader 1/8th oz tungsten just make sure its the tear drop not stick all 3 of my PBs on my lake came from the same dock in the fall largemouth smallmouth and a spot clear water highland reservoir no grass so docks are there favorite year round and hes right summer there in the backs and the spring there lined up under the front its easy pickings if u have a real open dock that u can get away flipping a dropshot under but if you know how to roll cast u can almost skip any bait under 3/8ths 7 foot medium heavy and im using a baitcaster have only fished for 4 years and skipping docks has become my favorite thing to do. 2nd bait 1/8oz texas rigged hit worm 4.25 and a weightless texas rigged 4 inch senko green pumpkin dip the tail chartruese and its the king under a dock even if there on the bottom ive caught way more on a senko under docks than i ever have with a jig
