    Thanks for demonstrating respect for the fish and sharing how to remove a deep gut hook. You may have just saved 1,000's of fish lives right there.

      I had to remove my grandfather’s first bass fishing with me by cutting off the barb on one of my favorite cheapy jigs because the hook was set just in front of the poor lil guys eye in the hard bone or cartilage so I figured I’d rather lose my lure and let the future big guy be free worth it

    I dragged a football jig with a craw trailer behind my kayak the other day while casting a spinner bait. My rod doubled over in the holder and I hauled in a very nice 4 pound Bass.

    Haha great video fluke, as always. My dad in 20 years only caught one fish on a jig and it hit as soon as the bait hit the water, he never had confidence in them. I picked one up for the first time and 12 casts later hauled in an 8lb 12oz bass. I ended up teaching my dad how to fish a jig.... haha

    “Says make sure you set the hook over your shoulder” 3 seconds later sets hook with side sweeping motion. Love it!

    @todd5198 7 років тому +1

    Thats what we needed, the basic way to move a jig and get a strike, I don't know why others miss the the basic movement instructions, without them an angler can't fish a type of bait, thanks again Gene.

  • @oscartango8234
    @oscartango8234 3 роки тому +1

    One more thing, the benefit of being a sport fisherman is the virtue of taking care of nature by conservation and rescue of misfortunate wildlife such as the bass with a hook in its throat. Gene, you are a good example of how anglers should approach fishing. Thank you for being on youtube. Sincerely, your subscriber.

    I watched this video last night used your exact technique and black and blue with trailer. I reeled in a 4lber!! I'm new to bass fishing... started late spring early summer in Tx. Caught a few, but with the heat and not understanding how season effect and pre- post- and all that other jazz.. this was an Amazing rush! Thanks for the information tips and techniques also I wanted to give you a shout out and credit for the catch.

    I absolutely love these educational videos! Seriously! Awesome. My home lake is a jig lake. Drag a jig all day long. I gotta try black and blue jig with a green pumpkin trailer. I always have matched the colors. Besides the educational videos I'd like to see a few edited videos of you catching fish and just doing a voice over. Awesome video!

      @bleach2856 4 роки тому +3

      Need the right rod then. Gotta be able to feel everything and it also helps to build your mental sonar by fishing the same areas. I jig fish probably 80% and learned that having a really nice sensitive jigging (and tough) was key. I lose jigs but not nearly as many as I did when using ugly sticks and lightning rods 😅.

    Ok, so I know this video is two years old at the time of my comment , however I need to thank you.
    Every season I work on a technique or two to either improve on it or learn it. I've never been a jig fisherman. So this season I thought I put the time in. This morning I watched two of your vidoes on football jigs, and literally, within 1 hour of watching, I was dragging a Z-Man green pumpkin football jig and turbo craw trailer, and managed to catch and land 3lb NJ smallmouth bass.
    Not bad in my book.

    I completely agree with your statement regarding taking a handful of jigs, a couple of rods and nothing else and go fishing. That's the way I've learned o fish every bait I use- topwaters, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and everything else.
    Eliminate all the distractions and the temptation to switch baits, and force yourself to learn ways to use one bait, alone.
    Some might think it's crazy to take only a couple Pop-Rs to the lake in February, but they would be more surprised at the number of bass that rise to it.

I've actually did go out a few days and fished only the jig, as you suggested and was skunked. after watching this I feel as though I may have been fishing them too fast. I'm going to give them another try and see what's up. I immediately changed my green jig trailer to a black and blue craw. All of your videos are great, and please, feel free to make more on all types of jig!
