This video is with basic lead batteries. Straight from the factory. I didn’t have my Battle Born lithiums installed in this so the voltage is low. The screens will get even crispier with my @battlebornbatteries 🤤
Could you please explain how the swim bait is weighted ? I watched several times but couldn't figure out how/what weight,, Thanks,, D
You're a great representative for the sport Sir. You're open to other view points and treat everyone with respect. Good luck on the upcoming season.
I appreciate that, Tanker! Would like to get more in-depth on all this as the season unfolds. Thank you for watching brother
Thanks for all the pointers Chris. Best video I watched where no fish were caught. Learned a lot. Thank you!
I never used ffs. This really showed me a lot. great job explaining it to us. It really is amazing how far electronics have came in my life time. I remember just having hummingbird super 60’s. When I was a kid and my dad explaining to me how to read it.
@Zaldaingerous Chris you’re my favorite to watch here in Northern Wisconsin! Thank you for your live scope coverage and teaching session as it’s much appreciated!!!
My pleasure, Thomas. Stay warm up there 😉
Just curious how y'all found this small West Texas lake? You are careful not to mention the name but for those familiar with the area, we know.
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these!
Sick video chris!!!!🤙
Hey Chris where can I get 6in magdraft clamshell packages
On the podcast with Robert Terkla you mentioned you all know who designed the magdraf from meggabass do you mind sharing who it is thanks keep up the good work really appreciate your efforts and hard work you put in on making all the lovely videos 😊
Sick Video sir!
But he hasn't been fishing that lake for several years..
Damn son ive not seen water color like that since I fished South Mississippi!! Glad to see even Texas still has glorified farm ponds with teeners.
lol you’re totally right!!
You have the best in the business guiding/teaching you FFS. But like you said, it takes hands on the water practice to be proficient with it... 🍺🎣
Chris i watch all your videos. I tried to see if this question was already asked, and didn't find it. Why did you decide to go with Lowrance instead of Garmin for the perspective view?
1) there are two camps: those that say at2 is the better live tech and many that say Garmin is, so I wanted the option to have both. I’m actively switching between the two brands to see which one thrives in perspective and which one for regular, and prepared if one drops a new transducer mid-season.
2) Lowrance has the best waypoint management out of any brand & the latest navionics plus chips shine over Lakemaster in a few of the lakes we go to so I want to be able to run both chip brands.
@@Zaldaingerous thanks for replying. That makes sense to have both to be able to form your own opinion! I Love your stuff man. Wish I could boat some with you on Fork someday.
Single hook is better than double hook on swim bait?
Awesome footage! Be cool if B.A.S.S. did coverage like this going forward
Totally agree Trav!
Great job, enjoyed the lesson.
Bronte Guns & Tackle
I’m stopping by next time!!! Love my pews!!!
Fishing with Josh Jones. Damn what a dream.
never mind. this video sucked
Power pole move TM any regrets?
I absolutely love it. Fast and light. It’s 40 pounds lighter than my last trolling motor. That’s equivalent to 3 graphs weight. The anchor lock (their spot lock) doesn’t jerk around, holds tight. They built a heck of a TM.
In June I had 36.03 on 5 fish on that lake….8, 2 - 7s and 2 - 6s……not on FFS….
Nice video, does it look to big for a bass 17:29 ? Hard to tell, im still learning.
Yeah looks like a big catfish
Nice video! Been thanking about picking up some of those Dangerous swimbaits, i fish a small thick grass bottom lake, pretty clear water with average water depth of 10-15ft, which one would you recommend? Pretty done with Magdraft😂
Go with the loaded heavy! Perfect for that 15’ range slow rolled over that grassy bottom
Great video, enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Am I behind the times or am I the
Only one who noticed he left Minn-Kota
Josh Jones wishes he could be Brandon Burks
Hate that lake lol
lol I know what you mean
I’m loving these longer form videos. I feel like I’m getting a lot more information from them! I’m really enjoying the podcast as well, I think y’all should have some of the younger guys come on the show and share there experiences within the industry! Great Video as usual!
Glad you liked it Asher, more to come!!
The big fish you are seeing around 13-16 minutes in I doubt are bass. Multiple feet long by the looks of it prob big cat or carp. Didn’t react to your baits either. Curious to see if there were other reasons you think they are bass. You kind of explained why you think but It still looks like you were chasing 3ft long fish thinking they were bass
It's almost like these bass are accustomed to artificial lures smacking them in the face..... /s
I love seeing you and Josh doing videos together. It’s great to see ppl with competitive sponsors doing content together.
Thanks for noticing Mango! I’m a huge JJ fan
Great stuff Chris!! I want to see you back in your home waters on the Cal Delta or Clear Lake!! Also bucket list would be out on a Kayak with Greg Blanchard…both of you best UA-cam fishing content bar none👊👊
That would be awesome, hopefully I can catch a break and get back out there this year
i see the water color and i am thinging why not use a darker color ? just want to know the thought prosses from you , thanks
Well I'm not sure I know when I spoke w Brandon about about his views an why they were so good that's what he told me the solix an apex units an some tweaking is why his stuff was so good. Have u seen his? Imo they just as good as your Garmin from what he has shown. I'm just trying to wrap my head around all this..I do know HB is supposed release a gen 2 transducer this yr to compete w other brands I guess wout having to spend $4k on a graph just to get a good return. Btw I do have some questions about swimsuits/glides an the prespawn I'd like to message u off here, how can I message u? Thanks bro
I know nothing about bass fishing, but while livescoping for pike and zander it is utmost important not to let the lure sink below the fish. That is a near 100% sure way to get rejected. And the best presentation/cast is just above the targets head and then let it sink to the fish, remembering to not over shoot it. But like I said, I have no experience in bass fishing so might not be applicable. Great videos!
IDK if I could even use Livescope. Knowing there is a double digit or a PB fish just avoiding/dodging my bait would be a defeating feeling. People act like its so easy, clearly this takes hours to understand and longer to actually become a tool.
Your bouncing your bait of of the bass and not getting a bite lol I would hate having live scope I would be so sad and confused why I’m not getting bites I guess it’s good so you can figure out what they want 😮😢
Man, lovin all the stuff you and trait's puttin out! Keep up the hard work guys!
Appreciate it. Happy New Year 👊🏽
Loved this vid, great music, instruction, and trophy hunting. What could be better?❤️ Love the podcast with Trey too!❤
I haven’t watched the video yet but I hope you’re announcing the line through is finally coming out. Bought a few Hangovers bc they came out first.
I just texted our CEO to see if I can announce when… it’s real real soon. I was super anal about the bait which caused a few last minute changes that pushed the release date back. The last thing I’d want is to hype it up this much and you guys to get some baits that weren’t up to my standards. I’ve got one shot to earn everyone’s trust or the rest of the bait line we are working on won’t mean much, and we are working on some badass baits.
@@Zaldaingerous sounds good.
@@mesa620possibly on shelves this week
@@Zaldaingerous sweet!! Thank you for the follow up!
Prolly was a gem. Until everybody seen the boat ramp. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Been to that lake, it's sure in the middle of NOWHERE. I wasn't prepared for the amount of staring at the screen that was involved, it was a 10/10 difficulty to livescope like that and came home empty handed!
Same, brother!!!!
You already know Burks is the deal out there 💪 100 DDs out there, nobody else got that place dialed in like him. When Zaldain really wants to get it dialed in he’ll hit him up 👏👏
If you open the live well and the fish are belly up, that means they are very close to death, right?
Comment here your flavor of black rifle. Mines tactisqautch
Dropped your hummingbird live for Garmin I see. Garmin is king.
Man I can wait to get that new Garmin plus setup! It looks soooo good!!! Guys that knock FFS are crazy man it’s sooo much fun and very addictive! It’s just not traditional bass fishing by any means. I’m sure that why some hate it.
Yup, far from it. But unfortunately this is the future 😕
This was a great tutorial. Absolutely love it.
That lake has been a hidden gem. Glad to see you and Josh get on a few. Josh is gonna catch a bunch of bigs in the next month or town. I know he’s caught a few already.
Go follow Burks fishing if you really want to see the deal out there 🤙
Great video. Loved the visual queues watching the bait fall. Haven't seen that in any other FFS content. What Garmin unit are you running up front? The image looked great, even at 11.5v. I'm not totally convinced on the whole "clean power deal." Your unit looked tack sharp to me...
Keep up this kind of content, Chris, and drag that rig to Lanier this summer and watch those top water spots "train-up" off-shore.
That’s the Garmin lvs 34 transducer… my voltage was low because I had some cheap lead batteries in there. I swapped in my lithiums last week
Love all the livescope footage and explanation of the entire process, not just a fish catch like so many other videos out there
I agree, to many negative videos.
I’ve got a whole video series that will start rolling out shortly with Bass Pro about all my electronics. Now that I’m not with one single electronics brand, I can run whatever I want and talk about the pros and cons of each and how to use them / set them up, etc.
@Zaldaingerous did you have any interruption while running the active target on perspective and livescope on forward facing?
@@shanevang88livescope is crystal clear. Just a little on active target
@@donyarborough4114 you’re right. Unfortunately the negativity seems to be becoming more prevalent in fishing community.
When is loaded swim bait gonna be available
Possibly this week…. 🤫
Dude you have a lot of Voltage loss at 11.5 you maybe getting a better image with max juice. I have 13.3 v at my batteries and 13.2 at the bow and my Livescope images are very sharp. Sea clear harness.
I didn’t have my good batteries in. Just installed them. They showed up late so the installers used some cheap ones to get me going and I just switched over two days ago
You gotta hook one to get outta this slump your in… you deserve it bro..
I could watch that big girl swim in and out of the brush all day
Fun show great screen views...teach B.A.S.S how to do that
In my experience when they are lower in the water column they prefer to feed up on swim baits. You have to cast past them by 30 or 40 feet then bring it over them. They don’t like swim baits falling straight down.
If they are schooling and higher in the water land it on their head and they will eat it.
Yes, you’re 100% right. For the demonstration and for the 3” of visibility, I dropped it right in their heads
@@Zaldaingerouslol yea the 3” of visibility makes it a little tough. Just picked up the unrigged version. The swim looks really nice. Stays stable and I love the head wobble.
So it is a mag draft copy with a single hook out the top?!
Someone just expose this lake publicly. 😢
Please stop video game fishing and ruining fisheries
Next time fish with Ben Milliken he’ll show you how to catch the big girls. Looks like that single hook design isn’t the best for catching fish. Maybe swap it with a treble.
I show every time I go. Not just the times when I catch them.
I've been waiting for the swim bait video!
More to come, Chris!
Such an awesome lake! I was blessed to fish it last month and we also missed a couple chances but stuck several big ones!
Oh wow!
This is why I went with the Garmin LVS34 - I've never seen images this clear from Lowrance or Humminbird. It's not always easy to capture on video, but nice job showing what was going on here. Super cool!
This was probably a good situation for the umbrella rig - with that water color you'd want something that really gives off some vibration. Come to think of it, do any of the tour guys ever mess around with the umbrella rig in the off season??
Looking forward to getting them in the shop!!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Really cool video!!!! Keep this ffs content up with the screen footage, thank you for your hard work, ffs is not easy at all i suck at it lol
Ran this setup but dual livescopes. Was pretty cool but not necessary! Forwards where it’s at 👍
Agreed!
All of your thoughts seemed to be rational and thought out carefully. Your second guesses are valid as well. There is no wrong answer here. I would suggest picking one of the costa events you're most comfortable with and fish it. Keep doing the smaller derbies like the ABAs (pro series or AFTs) and even jackpot a bfl or two. Less of a commitment on time and money.✌🏾
I’ve been keeping up with your career since the “split” and have been watching your videos for a while and this is the video that convinced me to subscribe. I am very selective to who I subscribe to. The reason that I subscribe to very few pros is because most don’t “give up the goods” with baits, tackle and especially technology (ffs) but you gave up the good today and I respect that! I’m not a tournament angler…just a weekend warrior trying to make the most of the few opportunities I have to go fishing. I just invested in ffs this holiday season and am looking forward to putting it to use this spring. Thanks for the ffs education you gave us today. I don’t need to see fish catches…I’m more interested in how to use the technology and this video did just that. Thanks Chris! This weekend warrior sincerely appreciates it! Warm regards to you and your wife.
Fantastic video. I learned more watching you catch zero fish than I would have if you caught monsters.
How is the the move trolling motor?
Would love a settings breakdown and how you like to attack your livescope setting on new lakes! Also hate to see the switch from humminbird but absolutely stoked for you because i know the switch will elevate your game!
Hey Chris, Love ur stuff man I have been watching you for years and you are the best spoon guy on the planet. But dude Randy is wrong wrong wrong. You don't need to be interviewing pessimistic people that are hurting our sport.
So I’m curious….what do the 6” and 7” weigh? Can’t find much information on that and what hook are you using?
6” shallow is 1.6 oz total (bait + internal weight) & 6” deep is 1.9 oz total
@@Zaldaingerous i apologize. Just saw your other video form today and I was looking at the unloaded version. Appreciate your time man. I’m gunna pick a few up if my BPS has them!
Texas has a awesome bass fishing preservation program it Is unbeleivable..why doesn't othere states put just a 1/4 of the effort texas does into bass preservation this country would be fenominal
A power poll move on a Minn kota sponsored anglers boat orrrrr did something change? Cause I just bought a quest.
The Quest was a good upgrade for Minn Kota & you’ll like it but now that I’m able to run whatever I want, I went with the Move. It’s I think 40lbs lighter than my Quest which is the weight of 3 graphs. So I was able to take a significant amount of weight off the nose of the boat.
@@Zaldaingerous I absolutely love it and I got it for like $3100 at BPS. Had to get it at that price. How does the move and quest compare?
Hey random comment, I don't even own FFS yet, but is the sonar beam not a cone? So when you're making a 50ft cast, the landing zone you're seeing on the 2d screen is probably 25ft wide. How do you know you're anywhere near the fish or whether it's to the left or right of your boat?
Cool video. Is what you showed on the Lowrance similar to perspective view on the Garmin? What is that red reel you were using? Keep bringing the heat! @Zaldaingerous
Great video. Thanks for the content. The explanation of identifying a bass vs a carp was great. How do you identify a bass vs drum? Here in middle Tn we also have a lot of drum, especially in our highland reservoirs. They look just like those big bass you showed.
I subscribed with pleasure to your channel. I take this opportunity to thank you for all the videos and information you share, you have a big heart. Good luck and be well. Gianluca
My home lake fished it from the time I was 10 I'm 49 now seen it empty to 80 percent full lots of crappie. And big bass don't let dirty water fool u
Was a hidden gem....................
Thank you. All the talk is about forward facing and some fisherman like myself will not go out and buy the stuff for years. So it was very interesting to see you use the FFS. To see what it looks like and see what kind of an advantage you can get from it. Thank you again.
I fished with Josh on that lake. One thing I’d say that I noticed that you did that we tried not to do. Keep the bait more above them and slow and steady. They didn’t seem to like erratic action. Slow reeling about 1-2ft above em
Damn that lake was muddy.
Hey man love your videos
I myself still trying to learn more in this sport of bass fishing
I’m from weat Texas myself i was wondering What lake was that
Chris, I live on Toledo Bend. Looking forward to seeing you next month here as the season kicks off! Be safe, see you soon!
Good luck in your 2024 bass season I feel like this is your year man Go big or go home.keep grinding brother 2024 start fresh let’s go 🔥🎣🏆
Excellent content. I’m learning FFS and this will help. Thankyou
When will the new swimbait be available to purchase
Possibly this week…
Chris glad to see I am not the only one that has to get up early drink my coffee and take a seat. My wife and I love you and your wife and what you do. See you at the tournaments in Florida. This is going to be your year
What’s up from SD! I hope you went again the next day!!! Great vid!
Thanks Chris, excellent excellent video. I love watching, keep up the great work.
Great ffs vid!!!
Man the Livescope video was great. Just watching how the fish react is such a learning tool.
I just bought those bass mafia non loaded ones I can’t find this on the tackle wear house
When is the loaded version hitting the shelves?
It’s already on some shelves…. We shipped them to retailers this week. Retailers are putting them out as they get them
This is the interesting stuff the industry should focus on instead of all the negativity!
Love this style of video. I learned a ton from you!! Thanks for the info. Good luck this season.
i see those MTX vans. hopefully theyre getting you closer to the fish hahaha
Great video Chris! I’ve been hearing some chirps here and there about that place! Hope it dosnt go wild like Ivie did and you can get some on the swimmer next time!
Yuppppp!
I feel skeezy just watching livescope.
