Just bought myself my first rod that came with braid , reel and lures . Put the reel on the rod ,line on the reel, lure on the line and then finger onto lure . Technically my first ever catch was me.
i’ve been fishing for a year and never had a problem with this, suddenly a week ago on a really hot day the bass were going crazy when i brought them out of the water, got hooked 8 times and hooked past the barb while the fish was still on, was scared to even catch one, this helps a lot
A really great video. Much information that I did not know about crankbaits and unhooking a bass. It seems that every time I watched Bass Resource.com I come away with something new. Thanks much.
I've been fishing for bass for over 40 years and I've only been hooked by a crankbait once and it wasn't from landing a fish. I did learn a couple of things that I will be able to use in the future. Thanks for the hints.
Been fishing a couple dozen years myself and never hooked myself with a crank bait. I have hooked a few friends though...LOL. Like you said the rod is a loaded spring with a fish on it and thats exactly how I hooked others, the fish came of the crank bait and flung behind me to where my partner fishes from. That is exactly how I remove the hooks (needle nose pliers). Always have some available. Great tip!!
It is quite amazing what a little preparedness and thinking can do on the water ... Makes fishing so much better not having swollen hands from getting barbed by hooks a million and one times. As you can see I've learned this the hard way many moons ago.... Been a very big believer in the net and pliers.
Great tips again. I've hooked myself before not bad. But when I was younger lad my brother got me good. Double trebles behind the ear. Short visit to the ER solved that problem.
Excellent video. I use a net as well. I fish out of a kayak so I'm basically at water level, so that helps. I remove the hooks while the fish is in the net. Then toss lure out of the way and then handle the fish. You are spot on about the fish usually flinching. Grab them firm and hold on!
I really love all the very helpful tips on how to rig and fish the baits Thank you for all the helpful tips thank you for sharing this awesome tip baeuse i have been hooked a few times trying to get the crank bait hooks out of the fish Thank you so very much for the amazing tips i am very happy to be able to watch all the very helpful tips Thank you again
Thanks for this I’m new to fishing and crank bait has been working great for me but, I despise when I catch something knowing I’m probably gonna catch a hook
Thanks Glenn. I've just recently caught a few fish on cranks, a red and brown wiggle wort and a rapala dt6, after trying last year for the first time with no luck. I agree, a net and pliers are a must. And, following your suggestion, I took some line off my spinning reel and the wind knots have pretty much stopped. Thanks for the tips!
I like the bill grab technique. Like Glen said lots of cranks don't have bills or very short bills, then you have to be more careful. Knock on wood I've been bassin since 1970 & have never hooked myself & most of the time don't use a net. I've been fortunate enough to grab the fish by the lip or belly land & render them paralyzed pretty much from flinching. I have also never hooked myself reaching for the baits to tie them on. Conscientiously I know what will happen if I am careless. So every time I reach for a fish or a multi treble hook bait I have avoided accidents by simply paying close attention to what is going on & get excited only when I have the bait free from the fish or tied on the line ready to cast.....I love the bill grab idea though & will use it whenever I'm able!!
Good video. Hadn't thought about grabbing the crankbait above the bill. Needle nose are a must--if you've ever had to push a hook through your hand you know how critical it is to have them handy.
I have always used my hand for the most part and needle nose when I need. I do use my net when I get ung up cranking shallows to in snag it. Good advice!
I’ve been fishing for like a week and I have already hooked myself twice lol
It happens lol I was flipping a jerk bait for some dumb reason and the hook was half way in my finger hurt super bad
been fishing for a year now and i hook myself everyday i go fishing lol
Just bought myself my first rod that came with braid , reel and lures . Put the reel on the rod ,line on the reel, lure on the line and then finger onto lure . Technically my first ever catch was me.
Welcome to fishing 😅
Yeah that's not gonna stop. I got out every day I can. I always catch a finger before I catch a fish. It's a tradition.
New to bass fishing thanks for helping me avoid the pain. lol
I used to use mustad hooks on my walleye rigs. Have switched to the gamakastu hooks. Super sharp, no rust. That's my choice of hook now.
This is the best video ive seen in a while. Keep em coming. Love the bassin! Vic

Pliers work really well also. (I never use a net and have never hooked myself either.)
Good tip. I'm somewhat allergic to treble hooks in my hand.

Great tip, nothing like a sharp treble to the finger tip to make you rethink technique!
Great tips again. I've hooked myself before not bad. But when I was younger lad my brother got me good. Double trebles behind the ear. Short visit to the ER solved that problem.
