- Part: 1 of 3:
Paul Elias did something on Falcon Lake that nobody, including himself, thought possible. He averaged nearly 7-pound bass over April 3-6 to capture the BASS all-time heavyweight record. See, for the first time, every bass he pulls into the boat (and some he missed), and an interview with Elias that walks you through his emotions on the final day of the Bassmaster Elite Series Lone Star Shootout presented by Longhorn. Did he think he had enough to win? What did Aaron Martens tell him before the weigh-in? Find out in the exclusive, full-length show. It's something youv'e never seen before and might never see again: Paul Elias, 132 pounds, 8 ounces. Watch now! - Спорт
I come back to this video and watch it at least once a year, it still gives me chills.
It will be engrained in my mind forever.
I can't stop listening to the beginning of it it's giving me so much confidence
The kneel and reel. Love this technique is learned from watching Paul. Really gets that crank bait down deep.
Paul is awesome, he has been at it for a long time and has caught much bigger fish for sure but this was a tournament for those who dont get it .
and he did this without spot-lock and livescope. I met Paul and several of the old timers at a PAA tournament here on Cherokee Lake back around 2010, really nice guys. Shaw Grigsby was awesome and went out of his way to talk to fans. I was glad I went to the weigh-in because fans would be standing beside the anglers while they were at the water tanks, taking pics and just visiting.
He caught that on a $60-70 reel. 🇺🇲
Roll Damn Tide The Quantum Energy’s were more like $150.
I'm a big fan of the unpretensious Paul Elias and his generation of bass anglers. the younger guys are pop stars..too much show!
Exactly.... shut up and fish! Let your skills do the talkin
Watching this in 2021 while I’ve been in a slump. Weighed in maybe 13-15 lbs for 5. in my last few tournaments. I need me a 30 lb sack to go ahead & get back in the right mind of things. Listening to him say “ I only had 20-22 lbs for my first 5 “ made me laugh. I’d love to have that lol
Do you notice that he doesn't use the drag?
He shifts the reel to free spool and uses his thumb.
That's what most long time bass fishermen do. Same thing with spinning reels, we don't use the drag but back wind.
had one had a leather pad to press on the spool from burning the thumb.
That's how I salmon fish. The direct drives are the purest way to a perfect fight.... until you get a king and you're missing the leather pad mentioned above :-D
drag on older reels where trash kinda had to do it in fact i still do it out of habit
How does that not turn into the biggest backlash ever??
My son and I got to meet him at the last mlf tournament we went to. He is a super nice guy. Took pics with my 9yr old and signed a couple items as he gave him tips.
PAUL ELIAS is the man , kneel and reel .. get the extra 4' do it every time i go.
I'm going to falcon this summer can't wait
That lake was unreal a few years ago. I had 13 8 lbers in a row on one point. Me and my partner caught 400 plus pounds in a day. Only weighed 5 plus fish. Heaven on earth. I actually quit fishing after that for years because nothing could compete.
U quit fishing? ...😅😅😅😅🎣🎣🎣🎣🤡
I liked the tip about standing on a porch step.
wow i have never seen anyone fish like that ever!! very unique style great catch!!!
the most greatest moment on my fishing life i was there watching him on the lake!!!
Paul is one of my favorite fisherman, great guy!
I remember watching this tournament with my dad live, just AWESTRUCK. To this day I still keep Mann’s Jelly Worms in my tackle box, JUST in case!
So badass with that golf or batting glove!
Rod Crawford! Almost broke the record string of Bass for real...237pounds for 20 bass! The record still stands at 240 pounds of a
string of bass. Came that close, my Brother's and myself on a spring morning March 8th 1987, our fish came from a place pretty close to where the record was set at Ocklawaha River. Monsters lurk there! What really made it all worth talking about is we returned everyone of the fish back to the exact spot She was caught. Memories last forever...
Love those Mann’s patches on Paul’s shirt and cap.
Love the old school guys , I'm old school myself. trying to learn how to edit my own fishing experiences. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Holy snikes...im fishing falcon Monday cant wait
I've watched this so many times that iknow all the words.
gotta love deep crankin, congrats paul
Sweet video.
First, braid is much smaller diameter, so you can use 50 lb braid that is around the same diameter as 10-12 lb mono, so may as well use it and not worry about the line snapping.
Second, when going for big bass that fight hard, a 4lb bass can break 10 lb test which is why it is suggested to stick with around 15-20 lb test line. I myself use 15 lb Pline CX and have never had a line break on bigger fish, even pike, 3 foot long turtle and catfish.
0:09 Manns 12' inch jelly worm =D
I use 12 worm before but it trash for me
My top rig for this lake is a 6" senko Bl\Red with a 5/8 painted black brass bullet wt. The hook a 4/O Gamakatsu super line tied with power pro 30 or 50 lb green. my fav all around rig.
I remember going fishing with Bill Dance and Roland Martin
@Allaroundstuff pretty awesome man i actually went again wednesday and caught more than my limit the biggest was about 5.6 and all five totaled about 12.5 pounds roughly. awesome day.
Big bass are fun to catch but the small ones are good to eat.
Paul Elias is a legend!
this is the kind of legend you use for bedtime stories...
A true legend!
I don't see how he trusted that fluorocarbon setting that hook like that.
Back when people didn’t stare at a screen 📺 all day.
Are AK"s legal for this tournament?
@RGVfishing nice!
ill be you net catcher =D
thats my uncle reeling them in (no lie)
Can you imagine if he had the active target technology then how big that bag would of been?
just fished there this saturday
wow amazing...
ahh....i've never watched this before but i notice he used alot of the technique i use too. =D
i want to be like him
Beast clashers if you want to be like him you got to get some of these mann's jelly worms I currently have a pack sitting on my lap 12 in watermelon red
Im from Hebbronville Tx which is just a few minutes or an hour from Zapata Tx and iv'e heard that Falcon Lake is being invaded by pirates which are people from Mexico...if that is still going on then i recommend that people stay away from that lake for awhile.
@idealano not really...he found the spot where the big fish were hanging out, threw baits that would appeal to big bass...(big baits) and he got em!
@RGVfishing how did you do?
@idealano Not entirely. Getting on big fish takes knowledge and skill, using the right bait to get those big fish to strike takes the same.
Mann’s jelly worm 🍇 grape 👍
All time great 👍
It was a record under the circumstances in which he was fishing:)
Gotta throw some big ol Huddlestons on that lake
I am looking for Bruin Outdoors Paul Elias Legend Series Right Hand Baitcast Fishing Reel 7.3 or 8.1:1 used or new.
I have 2 bait casters and 1 spinning reel
Yeah def an incredible day. It mightve been called something different but i had no idea they were using live scope back in those days. IMO its straight up cheating. I mean hes sitting there looking at those monster bass and all he had to do was figure out which bait was gonna work the best
pues cuales son los del tio homer porque no creo que esten mejor que estos de paul elias.
class act
just in case you did not know the internet is global,is not just to be used in one country or in just one language, if you don't know another language STF UP! and start learning thanx. and have a wonderful day.
6:21 what is the deal with the bill? I never saw one like that.
You may not see this since it’s been so long. But it’s called a hot lip old school crank bait. They go extremely deep
whats the weight dam thats big
Yea they release the fish right after they weigh them, a lot of time and care is put in to make sure the fish survive, only a few die
MLF format is a lot better for the fish.
We got bigger fish in halfway lake but nice video
But has the record there ever come close to Falcon?
Didnt think so.
0:30 dude tossed his combo in the drink.
Lmfao 😂 I saw that too man
hahahahahaaaha mans jelly worm hahahahahaaha i love it ive got 8 packs left Paul
On what if you dont mind sharing? :)
Golf glove!
holy crap
Does Paul still hold the record???
I happen to know a girl that's Paul's niece and she is, and I'm not exaggerating here, one of the most beautiful girls on planet earth. and good as gold to boot. she said Paul is a great guy.
Is this a private lake?
No, this is Falcon Lake on Texas/Mexico border
dino hunter no
is it just me or am i just a tiny bit disaponted thart mark zona was not narrerating this vid
i wonder what the biggest bass that exists is..how big can they get?
I wonder what mike Iaconelli what have done if he caught all the fish
Hyperventilated, got laryngitis, popped an aneurysm, and keeled over with a heart attack.....and that's just on the first three fish.
Hes got a nice lookin real, what does he use?
Quantum 650PT
Tom man told you catch a trophy bass on a jelly worm
I wonder what his thumbs must have looked like after all that :D
Do they put these fish back?
Yes.
Who’s here in 2021

People starting piercing fish before they started piercing themselves OR vice versa?
Hes the shit good fishing
