Great video. The funniest worm fishing line I heard by a Pro at a seminar 20 years ago. "When worming, you will generally get 3 taps. First tap is fish picking up the worm. Second tap is the fish spitting out the worm. Third tap is me, tapping you on shoulder saying, you dun waited too long to set the hook!"
Finally, someone who actually shows the hand, arm, wrist movement while explaining why they're moving the bait that way. Very FEW will show their movements. All they show is a fish being caught with the rig they're supposedly teaching to use. Thanx for showing your actual retrieve motions and movements and hope you do more with other baits (ie bladed jigs, swim jigs, various cranking methods, and basic jig fishing). Showing what to do with the rod, reel, and hand/arm movements is something everyone else leaves out. I don't really care if they show themselves catching a fish. Everyone knows what that looks like! I wanna learn the technique. You just did that in this vid.....Thanx BLat!!!
I started fishing last year and you'd be surprised how difficult it was to find simple explanations on how to retrieve very common rigs/baits. I'm glad you made this video since everyone else on UA-cam just focuses on what gear you need to buy
Well fishing is a very secretive hobby lol. A lot of us started like you with limited knowledge and learned our selves what to do. I personally learned more by making friends at the river banks and lakes with other older folks looking for someone to share their stories.
You trying to menick lures like plastic worm reel in slow not like this h Guy or you use crawdady same reel in slow but twitch couple times as reeling in or crankbaits reel rhem in like how fast s Fish move reel little fast couple times as will twitch pause reel in pause twitch same goes fir everything
Just getting into fishing as more of a serious hobby and this is the clearest, most consice video for "how to" advice that I have come across. Thank you so much, I am now subscribed and looking forward to watching your channel !!
Brian, I've found that bass are similar to seagulls in a McDonald's parking lot. When they are alone and find a French fry, they sit and eat it on the spot. When there's a group around them, they grab it and try to fly away so it won't be taken away from them. Anytime a bass runs from the spot where he picked up my lure, I try to land that fish quickly and get another cast right at that spot. He was running away from his competitors. My absolute most favorite way to catch fish. Spot casting a black 8 inch Mann's Jelly Worm (or the homemade equivalent) with a 3/16 oz. Slip sinker and 4/0 Eagle Claw 295JBL, Let her hit bottom, count to 2 while watching line, then 2 quick pops, let 'er fall, then reel it in.
I noticed this too. It's because they are kleptoparasitic. I was fishing and had a bass on, another bass was trying to nab the plastic off its mouth, my buddy threw his plastic and we doubled up. I later fished a double rig and caught 2 at once. It was a pretty rare occurrence but does enforce the point.
Hey Brian. First time seeing one of your videos. You are really good at just talking and explaining things. This was a perfect video to learn the inns and outs of a Texas rig. Glad I found your channel. I am finally at the age of 57 getting my first kayak to get out on a lake. I have been bank fishing long enough lol. A lot of the different techniques I'm not familiar with so your channel looks to be very helpful.
I have a buddy that fishes almost exclusively a Texas rigged robo worm. He’s a great fisherman and is good at all the other techniques but man can he get em on a Tex rig and he gets big bass too! He uses a light weight, light wire kooks and a 6” worm. He’ll cast ( long ) let the bait hit bottom and SLOWLY drag the worm back to the boat sometimes taking up to 10+ minutes reeling it back! Amazing!
Gaming Friends I can’t do it! My A.D.D. kicks in and I go mad! If I’m not twitching a jerkbait, jigging a blade bait, fishin a swimbait or glide bait, popping a frog, throwing a swimjig , a spinnerbait or cranking rip rap…. I ain’t fishing… of course my Asian buddy out fishes me every time throwing a f*cking Tex rigged Robo Worm 🤣🤦🏻♂️
This is one of the best retrieve videos I have ever seen. Envisioning your bait-rig in the water is such an important lesson to learn and helps you read water and expect the bite. So good. Thank you 🙏🏾
Well done brother. Anybody & I mean ANYbody that watches this ought to be able to go out & start fishing a Texas rig today. Excellent presentation my friend!
My absolute favourite bait is a weightless 5 inch yum dinger in bream colour or green pumpkin. Caught an 8 pounder las weekend. Water is still warm here in South Africa so the fishing is still excellent. Brian, your videos are brilliant. Works anywhere in the world.
First time I hear of Texas rig was watching a Roland Martin video from 1984 and after that it's the only one I used on all my solf plastic , I like it a lot , by the way your channel is one of the best to learn how to fish diferent lures and how to fishing in general😂
Thank you for introducing me to the Palomar knot. I have finished with this palaver not now for the last 3-4 months. It's been amazing I haven't lost the fish and frankly it's easy knot to tie.
As someone getting into fishing, the beginning of this video was wonderful! Thank you for for clear instruction and explanation. I have been fishing a local pond with a simple bobber and worm set up for bluegills. Watched somebody pull a big bass out of the pond so now I'm trying to chase those bass. Edit: finished the video. Wonderful information all around.
Really like how you have clear detailed explanation of the basics like how to put the plastic bait on the hook or what knot to use and how to tie. For us beginners this is critical knowledge.
I need someone like this In my life lol... trying to learn how to fish on my own sucks.. no one to teach me the tricks and tips. I've caught 2 trout, ever..
Man thanks for being relatable you've become a favorite to watch and get fired up before I go fishing learning new techniques is cool watching your videos and how you fish
I remember using texas rig and plastic worm..pitch it at murky spot and caught a huge bass..the feeling i felt was pure bliss..cheap rod and reel..didn't know no better then..but i felt pure bliss and excitement..had no one to teach me just few UA-cam videos.
You have a great way of making techniques perfectly clear and understandable. I watch a lot of videos, you make perfect sense, thank you for the content.
i was just typing and retyping this same comment because I didnt know how I wanted to say it. I have no idea who this guy is but i just subscribed as I am just getting back into bass fishing after 20 years.
Plz get more footage of the bait hitting the water. There's something so badass/satisfying about watching a pro like blat going through the motion to flip/pitch or cast and then seeing the accuracy and subtlety of the presentation. Big fan🤙
I'm more of a long cast and drag it slowly pulling the bait with my rod to keep the line tight so I have less chance of missing the small bites then making different actions once I get the bite to trigger them to take my bait.
This is my go to, overcast or raining is the time I've caught my PBs, I live in Washington state so we get those conditions a ton thankfully. The best weather to fish in is unfortunately when I get skunked the most, warm and sunny.
Awesome vid Mr Brian! I remember hearing that catfish will usually bite your bait and then run away to get it away from the rest of the school, maybe that's kind of what they do?🤘🎣🎣 Root for ya every tournament go BLatt!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video good stuff your down to earth explanations with reasoning behind them makes it believable and very watchable. Great instruction. A pro at teaching what matters. Real world stuff, no fluff. I just subscribed. Thank you.
thanks for the tutorial on this. I want to take my sons fishing, but it's easier to fresh water fish. Only problem, all my experience is salt water, so this is a good starting point that I can explain to my boys so they know and quick way to just get out there and start casting!
Great vid bud. Most don’t understand how to fish a Texas rig but you nailed it. Not getting bit within the first couple shakes reel it up and try again.
My favorite is when you havent gotten bit all day, you get a bite you dont feel immediately because of the slack and the fish runs as your about to work the t-rig. Even the small ones will almost jerk the rod out of your hand 🤣
Man you put out helpful content! One of the best on youtube! I laughed when you mentioned how a fish eats your bait and just takes off. Always wondered why they do that.
B Lat i love your content man! I'm a pound/lake/creek hopper who just started back fishing this year for the first time in over 10 years recently I've been buying all new Combos and trying different techniques but it always seems like the Texas Rig gets the job done when nothing else will I've caught 7 Bass ranging from 11 to 19 in almost a pound up to an almost 3 and 1/2 pounder all on simple texas rigged plastics and creature baits! I will use this rig until i die! Thank you for this awesome video and keep up the great work!
I have got to try that flipping with my left hand cause I can not reel a baitcaster with my left hand and it would help with bites so I don’t have to change hands , you flip with that left really well and I love flipping , got to try it , thanks
The best knot to tie is the best knot you can tie..... Some of the best fishing advice you will ever hear
I loved that!
And 20,000+ anglers said “Thank you!!” upon hearing that tip.
Also, always buy the best gear you can afford. You will not regret it.
I dont know, the overhand knot probably wont work.🤣
Yea what he said! Lol
Great video. The funniest worm fishing line I heard by a Pro at a seminar 20 years ago. "When worming, you will generally get 3 taps. First tap is fish picking up the worm. Second tap is the fish spitting out the worm. Third tap is me, tapping you on shoulder saying, you dun waited too long to set the hook!"
Time and time again I see how to tie the Texas Rig. But finally someone shows me how to fish the lure.. And I"m 76 years Old.... Thank You Brian...

You explain things better than most of the fishing UA-camrs do. Thanks!
They are running so the other fish don’t steal their treat. They’re probably thinking see ya suckers! Until the hook gets set. 😂
Easily one of the most listenable pros.
Or, Yt fish guys of any kind.
Heard em all. Finally, got here though
🌎✌️🎣

I do this same thing with a roboworm maybe not that slow but sometimes I use a senko I try other techniques but this just catches the most fish for me
what a great teacher much respect
Great video, I really like the way you explain your techniques it’s like “be the fish” makes visualizing much easier
This is one of the best retrieve videos I have ever seen. Envisioning your bait-rig in the water is such an important lesson to learn and helps you read water and expect the bite. So good. Thank you 🙏🏾
Well done brother. Anybody & I mean ANYbody that watches this ought to be able to go out & start fishing a Texas rig today. Excellent presentation my friend!
Love your down to earth style dude. You really really know your stuff.
Would love to do more fishing with guys like you man!
Started fishing bass recreational on the weekends sometimes about 2 years ago! I've caught 600+ fish on a Texas rig
One of the best videos I have seen giving simple straightforward advice.
My absolute favourite bait is a weightless 5 inch yum dinger in bream colour or green pumpkin. Caught an 8 pounder las weekend. Water is still warm here in South Africa so the fishing is still excellent. Brian, your videos are brilliant. Works anywhere in the world.
Bloody hell an 8 pounder 😂

I love your thought process, especially on shadows, sunlight, and shade! Love it!!!
I came from 4 billion years in the future and can attest that we still throw the Texas Rig at fish. That said, great and informative video Brian.
Excellent content as always Brian. Anyone else catch the top water blowup in the background at the 12:19 mark?
Was wondering if I was going crazy or if anyone else saw it
And at 7:30
Yes exactly lol
My three biggest PBs came on a plastic worm, Texas rigged. Tungsten is definitely worth the extra cost.
Thank you for being so clear in what you are explaining. I didn’t feel like you were talking over my head.
You don’t even understand how much I appreciate this one.
Thank you for introducing me to the Palomar knot. I have finished with this palaver not now for the last 3-4 months. It's been amazing I haven't lost the fish and frankly it's easy knot to tie.

Welcome to a whole new world of fishing
Really like how you have clear detailed explanation of the basics like how to put the plastic bait on the hook or what knot to use and how to tie. For us beginners this is critical knowledge.
Tune us in B-Lat.,,!!!✌️👀
I need someone like this In my life lol... trying to learn how to fish on my own sucks.. no one to teach me the tricks and tips. I've caught 2 trout, ever..
I love Brian Latimer he's so good at teaching
The best home to video I have seen. Easy to understand
Love the sound descriptions. They make perfect sense and it’s a great way to teach people. Thank you for the tutorials.
Brian! I watched this video, while fishing, used your technique and I few cast later I caught my first bass! Thank you! You’ve got a new subscriber
That is awesome!
Man thanks for being relatable you've become a favorite to watch and get fired up before I go fishing learning new techniques is cool watching your videos and how you fish
This is great for any fisherman. But he’s really great at going over the 101s and the fundamentals for beginners. Keepin it simple
Texas rig is how I caught my first bass. I'll never forget that moment. Texas rig is my go to, it's OP!
Mine was a spinner bait
Probably the best fishing tip video I've ever seen.
Cheers from Australia mate.
Brian thanks for again , for your sharing insight and knowledge.
I remember using texas rig and plastic worm..pitch it at murky spot and caught a huge bass..the feeling i felt was pure bliss..cheap rod and reel..didn't know no better then..but i felt pure bliss and excitement..had no one to teach me just few UA-cam videos.
Thanks Brian. Great tips, I love the sound effects, for whatever reason that’s how I think of describing it as well.
Wow Brian. Thanks! I’m really enjoying your videos. Sure I can fish with soft plastics but your detailed information makes me so much more successful!
You have a great way of making techniques perfectly clear and understandable. I watch a lot of videos, you make perfect sense, thank you for the content.
i was just typing and retyping this same comment because I didnt know how I wanted to say it. I have no idea who this guy is but i just subscribed as I am just getting back into bass fishing after 20 years.
You're great at explaining how to fish the Texas rig. Thanks for all you do.
Tutorials! Yes. Thank you, insight is always appreciated.
Love the texas rig. Great for smallies and bucketmouths. Great for all sorts of plastics.Good tips bud. Thanks!
Loved the "Tutorial" Brother Brian. Soft plastic never go out of style!!
As always… enjoyable and informative. Thanks B.Lat.
Plz get more footage of the bait hitting the water. There's something so badass/satisfying about watching a pro like blat going through the motion to flip/pitch or cast and then seeing the accuracy and subtlety of the presentation.
Big fan🤙
I so agree with John John absolutely satisfying as you say to see it hit where it hits!
Great video, OUTSTANDING explanation, and AWESOME sound effects!!! Keep killing it!!
Texas rig my absolute 💯 favorite. I'm addicted to soft plastics. This video goes hard 🔥
Man, I learn so much from this guy . Thanks Brian
I like the sounds. Totally made sense to me. Great teaching
I'm more of a long cast and drag it slowly pulling the bait with my rod to keep the line tight so I have less chance of missing the small bites then making different actions once I get the bite to trigger them to take my bait.
This is my go to, overcast or raining is the time I've caught my PBs, I live in Washington state so we get those conditions a ton thankfully. The best weather to fish in is unfortunately when I get skunked the most, warm and sunny.
Thank you. I am in Florida camping on a canal . Thanks for the tips.
Awesome vid Mr Brian! I remember hearing that catfish will usually bite your bait and then run away to get it away from the rest of the school, maybe that's kind of what they do?🤘🎣🎣 Root for ya every tournament go BLatt!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video B Lat, it really helps me out.
So glad I found your channel this morning! Best Texas Rig video I have seen. Made me think of alot of stuff I didn't even think about.
Man I want to fish with this guy. Hope one of these days fishing as a co on the Toyota series i get to.
Awesome video! Thanks for explaining! Love how you talk through things in language easy to understand and relate to. Well done!
Great tutorial with lots of hands on info. Too bad the Texas Rig wasn't the right lure for the day but the fish are always biting yesterday.
Your videos help me land decent fish. Thanks!
appreciate the experience / knowledge you drop along the way of the video. right on
great explanation on texas rigging
Please Try Yum or Berkley Ribbon Tail Tequila Sunrise with 1/8 Oz Bullet Weight! Sunny or Cloudy Days!!!
Last week I crushed the bass with a Berkley Ribbon Tail Tequila Sunrise 7 inch, 1/16 ounce bullit weight.
Had a fish boil right behind you at 12.19 . Great video.
Dude I love you latest videos. The way you break things down for a so-so fisherman like me is perfect
Thanks for another valuable tutorial B-Lat we appreciate it. God Bless and tight lines
Yeah, the Texas rig is a great way to fish. Enjoying your videos.
Great video B-Lat, I appreciate you my guy!
Great Breakdown and Awesome instruction!

Excellent video good stuff your down to earth explanations with reasoning behind them makes it believable and very watchable. Great instruction. A pro at teaching what matters. Real world stuff, no fluff. I just subscribed. Thank you.
Very good instruction! I've lately switched to Ned rig, but Texas Rig is always a winner, especially in cover.
Awesome video, great pointers on techniques to use with Texas rigs. Thanks!
Right at the 12:16 mark, I’m pretty sure that fish just hollered yeet at you
thanks for the tutorial on this. I want to take my sons fishing, but it's easier to fresh water fish. Only problem, all my experience is salt water, so this is a good starting point that I can explain to my boys so they know and quick way to just get out there and start casting!
I really enjoy your lessons Brian.
Thank you from MICHIGAN, VERY HELPFUL
