  • In this kayak fishing video I share with you my insights on tactics for catching big bass, some of the techniques that I use some keys to the mental approach to catching big largemouth bass. Most of my tactics are applicable to catching big fish from the kayak, however, most of this are sound approaches to catch big fish now matter how you fish or what you fish from.

    I believe staying in a learning mode is great advice. When I'm fishing, I become an instructor to myself inside my head. Whether its reading cover, learning a new body of water, or trying new techniques, I try to reteach myself information I've learned from your videos and others or just from the different people I fish with. Never stop learning.

    Hello all. Just purchased my first kayak a Bonafide SS107. I have not purchased any gear yet other than my paddle and PFD. I will be fishing a rather calm lake and wondered what the minimum equipment I need to land a fish in open water. I notice Chad mention setting up and dropping his power pole. Do you have to anchor to fish from a kayak? I have only stream fished from shore and I’m not sure what I must have. I know I need to pick up a yak attack net. Lol. And help or suggestions welcome.

    Fantastic video and lesson!! Curious...how heavy and what type line do you need to securely catch a bass around 8lbs?

    • @ChadHooverFishing
      @ChadHooverFishing  5 років тому

      It depends on the tackle setup and the rod really. I’ve caught several over 8 lbs on 6lb test when fishing lighter lures. I rarely fish that light anymore. But you can with moderate action rods at lower power ratings like a medium light to medium as long as you have your drag set relatively light.

    • @willfarkouh

      Yes. We are relaunching the brand at the KBF National Championship and KBF OPEN. After that look for them on the KBF Website as well. Once we get caught up they will be for sale on the All Pro Rods website as well.

    @jj691 7 років тому

    All that effort to catch that fish , take him off the bed. I'm no expert but don't the majority of bass vacate the nest after being caught, thus leaving all those eggs to die , thus minimizing the bass population. Why catch 1 bass when you are jeopardizing losing 50

    • @jeremiahgiles3593
      @jeremiahgiles3593 7 років тому

      actually, they abandon the nest for a few moments, but they usually come back. it's the moment while it's off the bed and all the other little critters get at the eggs and releasing an exhausted fish back to the bed that hurts most. Unless there are too many of them, I don't fish beds.
