HOW NOT TO "SET THE HOOK"

  • Tried fishing for snakeheads again. Fortunately, snakeheads & nice bass are found in the same ponds. Unfortunately, apparently my "hook setting" technique needs some improvement.

    Man, I never related more to a video before than this one. Had this happen to me countless times!

      Thanx for watching & commenting. I lose fish but usually not that often in that short of a time. When those bass jump, they can sure throw a lure

    I really don't think it was your hookset Chris! Sometimes they just don't get it real good! Thanks again for sharing buddy! Your guest are just not giving you any slack!

    I think a lot of times the fish just strikes short or has got a hold of the baits frame and didn’t get the hook in its mouth, cause I know I do everything right!😅

      Thanx for watching & commenting. Seems like some days I can't land a hooked fish & other days every one makes it in. I'd like to think I do everything right, but you may be a better fisherman than me my friend

    I feel your pain. I've had days where I couldn't set a hook to save my life. Makes you wonder what you're doing wrong. 🤔 A day or two later and you're catching fish left and right...even though you're doing nothing different! I've learned to blame the fish and not me 🤣🤣🤣

      Thanx for watching & commenting. That sounds like a good plan 🤣. I've lost many a bass when they jump & throw it. Somedays you're the windshield, some days you're the bug

    Top Water can be tough at times ! Adam tells me the slower the better with hard baits that float or hollow body frogs. But other will yell you to burn it and wait 2 seconds before setting the hook. I thinks that just another personal preference and nothing is written in stone. Keep trying and be safe my friend !

      Thanx for watching & commenting. I imagine there is no 1 written rule for retrieval speed. I do try to pause briefly now & then & I try to never set the hook buy sight, always by feel.

    • @ChesapeakeChris
      @ChesapeakeChris  2 місяці тому

      Let me start by asking do you fish them the same way every time? I usually cast, let it sit for a few seconds then retrieve it by twitching/popping it 2 or 3 times, let it sit for a second or 2, then repeat. I've been told you should pause intermittently & that's often when they bite

    • @bigmouthbrice
      @bigmouthbrice 2 місяці тому +1

      I don't always fish them the same. I'll change up the rhythm depending on if I'm using a walking frog or a popping frog and what type of cover I'm fishing. If I'm trying to find where they are at and I'm using a walking frog I tend to keep it moving with no pause. If there's an area I think they are I will slow down or pause to keep it in the strike zone longer. With a popping frog I generally do two-three pops and pause like you mentioned. Sometimes I'll do one big pop and kick up a bunch of water if they want that. If I'm fishing heavy grass or matted vegetation I'll throw the walking frog on top. If I'm using a popping frog I'll work it along the edges

      @bigmouthbrice thanx for the info, I'm gonna get back with you about the specific frogs I use. I think they're swimming frogs

    I feel your pain Chris. If I had a dollar for every time a fish threw my hook, I could buy UA-cam 😂.

      Thanx for watching & commenting. Seems like I get the small ones, but the bigger ones get off half the time. If you ever buy UA-cam, please advertise my channel/videos more 😁
