It’s crazy to me that a pro is giving free professional advice to make us better anglers and people are complaining about the sound of the reel. We are in 2020 for sure.
Randy, your play-by-play is awesome. You showed what many of us are seeing on a daily basis and no fear of showing the small catches. Keep it up and love that you are with the young professor.
The best teaching UA-cam channel out here. I started fishing 2 years ago and I can honestly say.... y’all have been so kind to share your info that I feel like what I am learning and applying it would have taken me 30 years to learn. My two kids want to go fishing everyday because of how you both have helped me know what to do and actually catch fish. THANK YOU!!!!
Randy is a great addition to the channel! Most informative channel next to TacticalBassin. Can’t wait to see what Randy has to say about prespawn bass on Grand! Thanks guys!
I just love listening to you speak on fishing! There's no doubt you have tons of knowledge on bass and how to fish! Thanks and am anxious for next videos....
I fished a pink floating worm yesterday, and let me tell you....it works! I fish an 83 acre reservoir that was made from a coal mine that flooded. It’s 50 ft deep in places with many pockets that are 20 + ft deep. There are a few shallow flats, and that’s where I made it work. Thanks!
I love square bills . My favorite one by far and I only have one left is a vintage Rogers Big Jim with no rattles . The small size . It has almost no action but the bass absolutely inhale it .
I have watched this video several times...great advice! Read all the comments and no one mentions that Randy switches back and forth between right and left hand casting like it's no big deal...and then he also mentions he is using a jerkbait special for a squarebill rod...I've never heard anyone using that rod for squarebills...but I did see alot of dang comments about the sound of the reel...missing the forest for the trees guys
Flat Creek 👍👍 since I've been able to start fishing again, one been putting in there a lot. Caught a fee on and near that laydown log and on the other corner of that wet creek. Love that place.
Great info and we enjoy all that you and Jonny are sharing with us! Both of you guys have a lot of good things that can help all of us do better in our fishing!
Great job Randy! Top shelf info! You guys often ask for video suggestions so I’ll make my first. Would you and Jonny consider making a video showing how each of you store and organize your baits and tackle at home. Not on the boat but your storage systems. Thanks again. 😃👍🏼🎣
Great info in this vid, thanks Randy! I'm always incredibly nervous to use crankbaits and jerkbaits around any structure. I really need to practice your tips for these types of baits. I got so used to soft plastics rigged up weedless, that I never use crankbaits. I'll definitely be switchin it up after watching this! FTM!
Lots of comments about that reel. All my crainkbait and spinnerbait combos sound like that. When you make a couple thousand casts a day they just wear out.
@@AlphaZuluPhotography you have obviously never tournament fished. i can wear out a quality reel in two tournament seasons. Your reels lay on the deck of your boat for 10 hours in the sun, the next tournament they may be getting rained on for 10 hours on top of making a couple thousand casts a day with a heavy crankbait and cranking in several hundred pounds of fish. I dont care what brand or how much you spend you will wear out reels. If you've never worn a reel out to the point of it sounding like a coffee grinder, then you don't fish much. And if its your cranking reel, you'll fish with it after it starts making noise to get all the good out of it.
@@ryanjohnson1480 you must be using Chinese made reels. I guided and fished almost daily and my reels never sounded like that. Buy Japan made Shimano and Daiwa and take care of them.
Hey Randy and Johnny great show. Old Carterville boy here and I get homesick everytime I watch you guys fish my home Waters. I grew up fishing stockton with my granddaddy in a Little Jon Boat. Johnny what episode did you show how to download structure points off of state website on to your fish finder? Thanks for all the great info.
I have a few z z2 crankbaits and they came with tiny hooks about #8’s I changed mine to #5’s and was worried that I was hurting the action. It looks like you have #4’s on yours. I like the size hooks on my s crank 1.5’s but I have bent some on fish under 2lb’s and I replace them with the same size Gamakatsu round bends. Back to the question I want to ask you what size hooks do you use on the Z z2 and the Z z3 Crankbaits? Thanks for sharing your techniques love your videos.
I see a squarebill cranking video from Randy, I click it. I learned a lot, most importantly that I need a growling raccoon in my boat for shallow water deflection success.
Hey Randy. What do you (or anyone reading this comment) think about "worming" a square bill with a high rod tip? I clean up in shallow water, near cover with this technique. I would love to know more about this technique and how folks us it. Thanks for all the videos Randy.
Awesome gents... I live up in NY and want to strengthen my shallow crankbait fishing, unfortunately a lot of the lakes I fish - resevoirs...have great visibility and no creek arms, however very similar banks in regards to cover and structure.. what are your suggestions? Thanks in advance
Good morning Randy! I noticed you're using both a Baitcaster and a spinning rod for your cranking. Can you tell me why number one and then number two what setup or should I say what rod are you using as a baitcaster power and action and the same for the spinning rod. Thank you. Good video very helpful!
Anybody notice at the 3:52 mark, Randy is fishing a laydown with a crankbait, and there is a Texas rigged 10" Zoom Monster worm hung up in the branches?
@@troyholley6231 probably 3 dozen of my reels have swapped bearings. still sounded ripe for grease when his spools slowing down at like 2:20. but alas, twas a joke regardless.
He catches 100% more bass on crankbaits in the summer than I do because I don’t throw crankbaits often. As a bank angler I can’t go swimming when the trebles catch a log. He can pull his boat up to the snag and get his lure back... I can’t.
I love randy and his intuitive channel but it's funny to me he swung every fish in this video then made a video saying that swinging your fish is an ego thing lol.. not a hater comment I swear I just love contradictory thoughts that prove he's human like me
Good information but it goes against almost everything I've read and watched elsewhere so it has me scratching my head a little bit. I've always thought most fish would still be out closer to the main lake even in late summer and start transitioning to the backs of creeks as time went on and end up in the back mid to late fall. I don't think Randy or Jonny reply anymore, so let me know your thoughts.
It’s crazy to me that a pro is giving free professional advice to make us better anglers and people are complaining about the sound of the reel. We are in 2020 for sure.
Because their feelings are hurt and they have a bunch of participation trophies
@@glenndaugherity6187
They tell you to dress nice for an interview... here we have a pro fishing with a weed whacker... its very distracting
Randy could throw a clothes line with a paperclip tied on and catch fish.
😂 seriously
He does have sponsors but may have lost his reel sponsor. A little oil or bearing change goes a long way.
Randy just about said crick! It's OK, just a true Ozarks man right there! Great video, thank you!
haha @1:01
Randy, your play-by-play is awesome. You showed what many of us are seeing on a daily basis and no fear of showing the small catches. Keep it up and love that you are with the young professor.
I'm a super senior and I learn something everytime I view your videos. Thanks. Cant wait for the fall rush.

I wish I would have been exposed to this knowledge when I was in my early teens, I would probably be a pro fisherman right now!
God is good
My kids beg me from the moment they wake up, till the last blink of the day for me to take them fishing. It's great.
Cosigning the Megabass S-crank. Love the more erratic action it gives on even a straight retrieve.

Great video today Randy, you helped my confidence cranking that shallow cover. Jonny, take some of my monthly Patreon and get Randy a new reel!
It’s great info overshadowed by that reel sound. Every time you cast my whole body tensed like nails on a chalkboard.
Same
Y’all picky 😂
Guess they’ll have to download de-reeling audio plugins 🙄🙄🙄
James Erickson Or you know... use a reel that doesn’t sound like it about to fall apart? My Shimano Curado DCs sounds amazing when they cast.
Obviously randy is catching fish, he doesn't care 😂😂😂😂

One of the BEST tip videos I've seen in awhile. I think you and Johnny have a winning combination. Thank's guys!!!
Love this. I love cranking a square bill and any new tips or tricks is great. Thanks for all you do with the channel.

I got so used to soft plastics rigged up weedless, that I never use crankbaits. I'll definitely be switchin it up after watching this! FTM!
Me too. When you spend $15 on a crankbait, you sure don't want to bury it in a log 3-4 feet deep.
Awesome stuff. Never dreamed 25 years ago that id be able to watch a pro teach me how to fish for free paid for by ads. Better than watchin flw to me
Good info! I love throwing a squarebill! But I have to admit, I was waiting on the reel to explode!
lmao
Good stuff Randy! 💯
How did you get those baseball cards between the spokes of your reel?
By being a great crank bait fisherman and making thousands of cast with that setup
@@lannyseals2084 I was wondering to myself how many casts would it take to wear it out like that
@@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz 1,290,092,324,017 cast with about 100-200 pitch/flip cast here and there
Lots of comments about that reel. All my crainkbait and spinnerbait combos sound like that. When you make a couple thousand casts a day they just wear out.
I second that, to be honest I didn't even pay attention to the nose till reading the complaints on it
Ryan Johnson I’ve made thousands of casts on my favorite reels and they still sound new. Buy quality and it won’t sound like junk a year later.

Good to see Johnny going big
Priceless advice
Hey Randy and Johnny great show. Old Carterville boy here and I get homesick everytime I watch you guys fish my home Waters. I grew up fishing stockton with my granddaddy in a Little Jon Boat. Johnny what episode did you show how to download structure points off of state website on to your fish finder? Thanks for all the great info.
Hey Randy I used to spend my Summers dragging My Little Jon Boat up and down Center creek hanging out at Lakeside. I know you been there..

Swimming a square bill in the wood is a killer summertime pattern. When it’s on

What's up with that reel grinding on the cast
Is that the new Googan DC reel?
🤣😂🤣😂 now that's halarious!
😂🤣
Great video basic knowledge Randy's reel sounds noise grinding, some what iratating for a professional fisherman
Good morning Randy! I noticed you're using both a Baitcaster and a spinning rod for your cranking. Can you tell me why number one and then number two what setup or should I say what rod are you using as a baitcaster power and action and the same for the spinning rod. Thank you. Good video very helpful!
Thanks again Randy great Vid!!
Please, mention the rod, reel, line set up in description! Thanks for sharing!
Randy must love them squarelips. Them megabass. Must admit I'm thinking about getting a few for buggs island here soon.
...Supwithatreel?
Sounds like Randy needs a reel sponsor
DC reel has that sound
Jim Dalton that’s not a DC. I know what they sound like. Sounds nothing like that. That’s a worn reel
Anybody notice at the 3:52 mark, Randy is fishing a laydown with a crankbait, and there is a Texas rigged 10" Zoom Monster worm hung up in the branches?
Great video! I've never mastered crankbaits, but I hope to. What is the advantage of a square bill over a swim bait? Better reaction bite?
Randy what's your reel ratio for your square bill setup? Thanks and great instruction always learning from you and Jonny.
Y'all need to come up to Greer's ferry lake and fish, and figure that lake out and share it to the world loo
Who filed your spool?
Does Randy like that Ranger tin rig? Is it the 198P? Would he put it on a big lake like St Clair?
Great video
Hey Randy, how long into the fall will the shallow crank be good down here in the south?
great info but whats wrong with that reel.
Randy I need your help with identifying an old Daiwa cranking rod. Should I e mail you the details?
next vid: reel cleaning and maintenance lmao
😂
That’s what high speed bearings sound like. Not stock
@@troyholley6231 probably 3 dozen of my reels have swapped bearings. still sounded ripe for grease when his spools slowing down at like 2:20.
but alas, twas a joke regardless.
@@swburton316 sounds like gears touching and clattering to me
my orange seals never did that
My top 3 sq bill
Megabass S Crank Gill
David Custom Baits Diet Dew
Mann's C-4 Elites Purple Passion
What if right now the gravel or cover is covered by deeper grass in the drop and the crank gets wadded up? what's your suggestion to fish that.?
Tried this info on my featureless lake, bang, 3 17" bass
Your reel sounds like the one on red dead redemption 2.
I got some reels I dont use if you need one
No Fooling
Great vid, oil on that reel 🤪
Good video 👍🏽. But I must say, that reel is not sounding good 😬
What gear ratio is your reel?
what ever 6.3.1 Minus 1-2 teeth
$20 for a crankbait is too rich for my blood. I can only imagine the rage that would ensue if I lost it.
Well said ! IF ? You mean when ! I just cant pull the trigger for a 20 buck lure !
Those strike king squarebills will get the job done just as well for a weekend angler like you or I.
How about the fact that it seems to catch the same amount/quality of fish as a $5-10 crank.
its easy buy a pos reel and you can afford the bait🤔🙄
Ha that position on my lake probably 40ft deep bluff wall
He catches 100% more bass on crankbaits in the summer than I do because I don’t throw crankbaits often.
As a bank angler I can’t go swimming when the trebles catch a log. He can pull his boat up to the snag and get his lure back... I can’t.
What name brand boat is this boat
Looks like an Express.
Throwing a $20 crank bait on a reel that’s worth $20. I love it
LMAO
That reel sound like it might need some bearings lol
That reel...
That reel sound tho🤔
lets setup a raffle and win him a reel
Somebody hand him a Shimano!
That Reel Sounds Like Crap!!
Is Randy fishing with shoes on and boat flipping?? The two things he always preaches not to do.
Dang randy, send me that reel and I'll over haul it for free! Lol
Great info
Never occurred to me that clear water meant it’s bad for crankbaits. Maybe that’s why I rarely catch anything on them!
👍👍👍👍
I love randy and his intuitive channel but it's funny to me he swung every fish in this video then made a video saying that swinging your fish is an ego thing lol.. not a hater comment I swear I just love contradictory thoughts that prove he's human like me

What is wrong with your reel
That reel though lol😟
You know just put you some sand inside your reel so you know it grinds real good.
Sorry not paying $25 for a crankbait to bang it off the rocks. Someone donate Randy a new reel, its hard to concentrate on what he's saying.
Great video, but i gotta say. Randy's reel sounds horrible lol
Idk. I'm not rich enough to crank megabass in wood lay downs
My lord. Do we really just wake up looking for something to complain about?
ITS ANOYING... TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING AND A WEED WHACKER SOUND... I have better gear than a pro??? in other words... ill give him one... sheesh.
Greta vid. But that reel...🤦
Sounds like you got your money out of that reel
Rod has electrical tape on it too
Wow first comment
Basshopper O I never understand the first comment thing. So what.
@@jackadamz3 same here. I see it on all the youtube videos. Kids, I assume.
That reel 🤦🏼♂️
Your reel sounds pretty atrocious.
Haha yeah hes got $7,000 worth of megabass baits but doesn't have a better reel?
If he was in a tournament he would be using top of the line stuff, not that important just to show you some tips
Im pretty sure thats his favorite reel that hes won bunch tourn on and cant let it go....fisherman are pretty superstitious imo.
@@Garminrules I guess one of his superstitions doesn't include the ritualistic application of reel lubricant. XD
@@Kenarew lol.....hes probly trying to get Lucas reel oil to sponsor him
some people need to eat more cheese with that WHINE
The reel sounds like crap..
God is good
Is it really 3x or is this more of Randy’s clickbait silly titles.
I just can’t watch this. It’s like finger nails on a chalk board
I know
Well now it’s not a secret 🙄
