***Johnny, when you are going over your tackle setups can you mention the knot you use for different lures. Also, if you double the line on any of them. Thanks!
The Kast King Mega Jaws reel has become my favorite inexpensive reel over the past 2 years. Its a beast. I get more information from you on strategizing than anywhere else. Thank you.
Just found your channel- sooo helpful. I’ve been fishing for 40 years. I moved to NC about 15 years ago and have been stumped catching bass here. I am really looking forward to applying your tips! Thank you.
Definetely like the thought process that goes in to your bait selection and detailed tackle setup. Now on to the lake! Please do a video on how you hand tie the skirts and where to purchase the skirt material you are using.
Really like listening to your thought process on the prep of your weapons. I like being prepared with backup plans. When I’m on the water I want as much time as possible having the line in the water.
Hey my man absolutely love your channel!! The Megabass LBO system stands for Linear Bearing Oscillator it’s a cylindrical oblong weight surrounded by bearings that slides from the front of the bait to the back during your cast for maximum weight transfer! Killer design and absolutely works.
Really enjoy your videos. I like how you talk about and show the breakdown of what your fishing. You keep it real too. Using fairly inexpensive equipment that works really well compared to some of the other channels I watch. They are informative too but they seem to use very high end equipment that the average angler can’t afford.
This definitely helps put it all together. Doing a lake breakdown and following up with what setups and tackle will give you the best opportunity to be successful in different areas of a lake while explaining how other conditions also factor in are very beneficial. I have learned to be more technical in my approach to fishing thanks to Fish The Moment. Thank you.
dude how does your head fit in the lens frame of the camera with all this knowledge?? i am always learning something, everytime I watch your videos. Keep up the awesome work Brother!!!
I agree 🪖 army outdoors this kid has the most incredible knowledge for his age . I've never seen any young man like this and I'm 57 . Hey bud my farther was a marine . GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike.
The prep and tactics you plan on using are very informative, thanks for another great video! We're almost froze over here in Michigan so I'll be eagerly waiting for your new videos for the next few months.
Taking high school kids to lake Palestine tomorrow for tournament. We seem to be on same page as where to start this time of year. Will definitely tie them on some of those baits you showed. Thanks for the info
This prep video is a great compliment to the Catch-5. Can't wait to watch the OTW action!! My favorite fluorocarbon is Basspro XPS, and mono I like is Maxima Ultragreen.
Great video, Jonny! Love the format and explanations. Looking forward to your video on why you prefer mono for your crankbaits. I do the same. I like the additional stretch mono provides and seem to get less line twists.
Fantastic video Jonny! Loved it! I say YES, YES, YES to these prep videos. The toughest part of an outing for me is the decision making in the prep. Great stuff buddy. Also, yes please to a video on “why mono” for cranking. One of my home lakes has side ditches running off of the main ditch. Do have any success fishing those? Do you use a shorter Carolina Rig leader in very dirty water? Lastly, I agree. Sunline to me has had better resistance to abrasion. I also really like to use their FC 100 as leader material. It’s sensitive like flouro but has more stretch than flouro. Thanks again. Best channel out there. Between you and Randy, I have all things Bass, covered.
For the average joe unsponsored weekend warrior like me, John has fishing dialed right in. Most pros are just selling products on UA-cam with very little "juice". Dude! That's one wicked looking homemade jewel jig. I need to build one of those for my awful and tough home lake!
Good stuff Johnny thanks. Look forward to your theory on mono for deep cranking. Sunline all the way. I used to use seagar and have switched. Sunline has a thinner diameter for the equivalent lb test. If you can swing it shooter is unreal for heavy cover pitching. 22lb is as supple as 15 lb invisix
@FTM: I’d really like to hear about why you like mono over fluorocarbon and what baits / situations you would choose one over the other. Also be curious about how to target largemouth bass in fisheries that are dominated by spotted bass (e.g., Lake Hartwell, Lake Chatuge).
Definitely cool to see your bait line up, I just started using swing heads last yr. I have had pretty good luck with them. Last weekend I was catching spots on deep diving crank bait & largemouth with fluke at Clarks hill. Everything was small barley keepers. Hopefully I can get bigger bites tomorrow & Sunday!
I like this format, very helpful. Thanks! P.S. I really like yo-zuri top knot FC and bass pro shops excel FC. Both are cheap and perform extremely well. Just as good as invisx in my opinion, and both waayyy better than seaguar red label (which is not good at all imo and puts people off budget FC). I've never used any sunline.
Jonny, I acquired 4 of the Denali series rods, 2 Koverts and 2 Lites from a friend who fishes TW Pro Circuit for $75 apiece. These are some of the best rods I own.
Good info brother!! I like Berkley Vanish line. Mostly use 12lb. I find it doesn’t cloud up after some use in dirtier water and the memory seems less with this brand
I'm in the same boat lol. mostly use Seaguar but now trying a couple Sunline lines. i have sunline assassin and cranking FC, Seaguar smackdown braid, invizx, and abrazx on my rods. idk which one i like more, but overall i've been pretty happy with Seaguar. right now i'm in the process of trying to find a good cranking line.
Love this type of video. Keep it up. Also, I have tried Sunline and Invizx and prefer the Invizx. It has LESS memory and last longer. After a few weeks on the reel, the Sunline gets loopy!
Maybe a bad batch but I had never broke off so much flippin n pitchin into laydowns with 20lb sniper one time and have stayed away from it ever since. Started using Abrazx last yr for flippin n pitchin and jig fishin, not one breakoff that I can recall. Red Label for crankin. Invisx for spinning reels and jerkbaiting. Abrazx for flippin n pitchin, jigs and bottom contact fishin.
Great video, just subscribed. I’m having trouble catching with cranks spinners jigs, to be honest up in Ontario with out a boat and fishing from the shore it’s tough trying to catch with fake baits as sometimes fish aren’t anywhere close to the banks so I find myself fishing with live minnows and catch a few here and ther as I can trust if ther are fish a live minnow or shiner will bring me in. I would love to be catching bass steady with these lures
Hey Johnny so I’m struggling and wondering what do you do in lakes that are over run by spotted bass such as Lake Hartwell. I know there are good large mouth bass in them but it seems like every kind of active offshore structure I find has a school of spotted bass on it and while they are fun to catch they do not usually get very big for tournaments. How would you try to target largies in these lakes?
I run into the same issue on Table Rock and Beaver Lake. I'll make a video in the next couple about this topic. I don't have it completely figured out, but I'll share what I know
As a SC guy I concur. I do very well finding the offshore spotted bass but seem to find better largemouth in more stained water and thicker cover and bluff walls. However finding largemouth is a lot tougher offshore as they don’t seemed to bunch up like spots.
@@FishtheMoment I'm in the same boat with those pesky spotted bass. Although I'm not a tournament fisherman I still enjoy catching larger fish. So I'll be interested to see your video on this subject. I mostly Fish Lake Gaston that's because I'm only a few miles from it. And see is overrun with spotted bass up here. they actually want you to take them out and eat them. P. S. Matt Steffen be a great addition to your team. 👍
I like Sunline's nylon lines and Seguar's Fluoro lines. Nobody offers the variety and quality of what Sunline offers in nylon and Invisx is the most managable fluoro i've tried on a spinning rod. But then again what do I know.
Sorta refreshing to see someone picking where he spends his money and using a boatful of $40 reels with a sprinkling of MegaBass crankbaits. 😁 Keep up the quality content. 👊🏼
Thanks Johnny love info you and randy have helped me tremendously and now watching Matt Stefan thanks guys hey buddy I need to get on boat with you for the day pm me with price let me know
I'd like you for you to come fish my lake, I'm on the hot side of a nuclear power lake. You talk about tough, some days its down right impossible it seems to find them.
Great video! Hope we can do business together! Let me know if you are interested in doing review of our Japanese baits such as Megabass, Jackall, Imakatsu etc. .
Randy off topic your thoughts...Here is the problem with tech... and i own a tech comp.. and I back it up with other pro sports... sample in football don't all players have pads and helmet and tech to help win and nobody has one thing different than other teams... so if your at the pro level than all players ( anglers) have all tech and stuff that everyone has now if they choose not to use it or when to use it than thier is no excuse why they not in top 10 or win level the playing field like all spots than it comes down to time on water or decision making as a angler but One guy has it another don't cause of funds is WRONG PERIOD CRAZY THING IS ONLY SPORT THAT PAY OUTS HAS GONE DOWN IN 20 YEARS SAD NO NO PRO SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FUNDING OR GAS BILL OR SLEEP AT BOAT RAMP UNLESS HE OR SHE WANTS TO """" sorry for the book """
I'm guessing you've been on the bass fishing circuit for a little while, but I love crank baits to good information, jigs are awesome love jigs I use them constantly never falil bait nice rods and I use abu Garcia black max myself but I use 20 lb flourocarbine line XPS kvd signature series , love quantum rods to or bass pro shops medium heavy 7 ' fast action you're gonna be one of the videos I watch on a normal basis along with KVD, Edwin Evers, tactical bassin', keep up the good work 👍 !!!
This young man is the best teacher I have ever seen for bass fishing. I am 73 !!!!!!!!!
Great job buddy! I like that you focus on the important stuff and don’t need to have everything that is the most expensive.
***Johnny, when you are going over your tackle setups can you mention the knot you use for different lures. Also, if you double the line on any of them. Thanks!
Really like THESE videos and the catch 15 day on the water! You’re the best on UA-cam Jonny!!
This is where I come for fishing tips. Best on UA-cam
The Kast King Mega Jaws reel has become my favorite inexpensive reel over the past 2 years. Its a beast. I get more information from you on strategizing than anywhere else. Thank you.
I am definitely on team sunline, but Seagaur Abraz-x and inviz-x are great options. I think FC Sniper is the best all around line
You are the Bass Genius.
Thank you
As an OG I have to watch your videos multiple times to receive all the knowledge you are dropping. I am impressed and thankful for all you do.
Great video. Best fishing channel on UA-cam. Keep em coming. Thanks.

Yes! More prep videos. I like that you don’t necessarily go high end with the combos too
I like the format gives me something to listen to at work. And I'm a sunline guy myself

Good tip on the rod sleeve on the c rig and I like sunline over seagear. Sunline cast easier to me.

My favorite fluorocarbon is Basspro XPS, and mono I like is Maxima Ultragreen.
Huge fan of the sunline sniper and the sunline flipping floro as well , I like how it has the high viz every 30” on the line
Ya give out great information keep up your hard work and dedication
Love the video explaining setups and baits

Banjoing the line is the term we used for popping the line to get your lure back when tangled up.

I've got several Denali rods myself. They're my favorite rods.
great video, thank you
I'm surprised that you don't have a jerkbait tied on. great content and video. thanks John. good luck on your challenge
Good video and nice bait choices I personally like sun line sniper better .thanks for the video Jonny
Thanks! honest video great job!

Sunline Shooter for flippin or anything high impact. Seaguar InVisX for everything else.
Dude you gotta come off the Walmart gear! Now you're making those big bucks. Hit your boy up for some of those Megabass rods!
Sunline
You can send me your livescope and I'll use it here on dale hollow lake
I like sunline a little better
