Bro, I'm so glad to see you back up on the vids. The hook gap explaination makes a lot of sense. I'm about to get get my butt right out in this cold too!
Just my 2 cents, I have used Spearpoints brand recently and really liked the catch ratio, but I have used Trapper brand forever and I seemed to catch more with them. And I totally agree with the EWG brand. MUCH love to you and your family and thank you for all you do!
great video. My dad and I got a new boat, fish finder, trolling motor all that stuff. been hittin it hard lately and we found two or three spots with just huuuuge pockets of bass. but they are all down around 20-35 feet. we just couldn't get them. i tried dropping a senko down with no weight but think it just kinda floated around down there instead of sinking. Subscribed!
I have asked so many times, but this was the best explanation of how radar works. I have an analytical mind and need to know how it works and could never find out. Thanks.
You do a good job explaining what your doing..why... And what is happening... Nice Video...... I just subscribed..looking forward to watching more... thank you..
Dude I'm with ya.. I'm so use to beating the bank or cranking on points is as deep as it gets for me... Of course I don't have 1500$ panodix. Yes I'm jealous AF... Lol. Scott Martin says here he comes... Let me just pop it in his mouth real quick.. SMH
@@briannauss2728 I have the new lowrance elite FS with the active target transducer ordered, just not installed yet. I hope it helps me figure out the channel swings out. I’ve spent hours out there with no luck lol
I've received a few packs from my monster bass subscription, and from the times I've used them, I don't have a single negative to say about em... great video man.
Just started watching your stuff. So far you may be my favorite UA-cam fisher because after every catch including dinks you dont start freaking out and yelling "LET'S GO BABY WEEEEEEEEW" like other Florida you tubers you may encounter
Awesome winter BASS fishing thanks for the information on winter BASS fishing I normally don't fish winter I used to when I fished my BASS TOURNAMENT bk in the 80's and 90's
Brother Brian, Just how big a fish was you planning on catching that you felt the need might arise that you needed to beat him with a dog gone tire iron to get him in the boat
Love the videos man.. what I would love to see is a video explaining once you have idled over and identified fish on your graphs how do you stop and position your boat to where you just mark those fish That's something I have a big problem with.
most of the time I run a 1/0 owner mosquito for nose hook dropshot. I don't typically rig it weedless unless I'm powershotting. 9/10 times I throw a dropshot, it's a tiny swimbait nose-hooked... Keitech fat swing impact 2.8-3.3 or a smaller, finessier, swimbait (lots of threadfin and tiny baitfish in my waters) Appreciate the honesty and lack of marketing. - I think 3/0 and 4/0 EWG hooks don't really have the problem with what you called "wallowing" (prolly spelled that wrong but you know what I'm saying), but idk... I think it's personal preference... Some guys say EWG hooks have better hook-to-land ratios on the big girls, I think it's what you like or what you learned first is typically what a guy will prefer
I bought some of those spearpoint gp finesse hooks on tackle warehouse a few months back and haven’t used another hook since! The hook up ratio is near perfect and as B lat just showed they work amazing for dropshot and neko, but you wanna see em really perform... wacky rig.
Hey Brian got a question, what would be the best rod to pair the lews Hypermag with, I’m thinking a 7’2 just would like to know the best rod brand wise and such. Nothing too expensive, under $200. Thanks!
Yo B Lat what’s the best way to stop your Z man plastics from melting down in the summer? I ruined like 10 bags last season in my boat from the heat. Is there a way to counter that?
I like how you said before you grew up with your pops fishing vertically with spoons and a flasher and you are doing the same but with new technology and techniques
Dude, I was kayak fishing today, in my aruba 10 sea dolphin lol don't laugh, I'm broke lol I seen a legit at least 12 pound bass rite next to me. We locked eyes for a second and it went into the deep. 100 percent it scared me lmao but I que didn't know how to fish deep for him thanks for the vid
My cranking combo is the only setup I spool with straight fluoro. Everything else is braid or braid to mono or fluoro leader because I have a bad habit of getting excited and rushing my cast, which often gives me an overrun. With the braid, I can get a backlash out no matter how bad it is and the line is fine when I'm done. If you're going to make the switch, just remember that braid has virtually no stretch, it floats, and it's visible to line shy fish. These things can be good or bad depending on your situation.
I just got some of those hooks in my last MTB! They are bigger though, like a 3 or 4 i think.. (they are in my tackle box so I really don't know) Haven't been able to get out just yet to try them out but this video seems to be doing that for me! Lol thanks BLat! Edit: correction, they are coming in the next MTB.. lol so I don't even have them yet but can't wait to finish the video and see what they are like to use!
What's the deepest you've ever caught a spotted bass. Mine 70ft at Smith lake in bama. I was sitting in 130ft and saw the school on my 2D and dropped a little George and jigged it until I got him
Unfortunately I could nothing with the deep fish. The bait was stacked 30’ and better. I knew I was in trouble. So I cranked points, picking up a 2-3 pound small mouth. So much fun. Then picked up a 5 pound large mouth cranking ledges. I did experiment more on speed. I cranked the snot out of it and she took it. That sums up 10 hours of my life😂😂😂. I did try a spoon for a bit. No takers.
@@danielyourko1714got to love the smallmouth thou good fighters funny thing was I was actually trying to catch crappie that day i just happened to stumble on school of bass that deep so said the hell with crappie
Bro, I'm so glad to see you back up on the vids. The hook gap explaination makes a lot of sense. I'm about to get get my butt right out in this cold too!
I used the Z man Ned Rig for the first time Sunday and I am very impressed with it and how it caught fish in the cold water
No fish is safe!
You sir, are not welcome in South Carolina. We would like to keep our fish in our lakes.
@@robhand7205 come on man. Jacob just wants to hold a couple, hundred..
Lol. It didn’t click you were Jacob wheeler! The fish are plenty safe!!! Unless my skeg hits them!!!
B.lat-Wheeler fishing collaboration coming???? I sure hope so two of favorite pros!!!
Good looking hooks for the dropshot set up, thanks Brian.
I think you have a win coming at either Eufaula or west point this year. I can feel it.
West Point or Rayburn!
Just my 2 cents, I have used Spearpoints brand recently and really liked the catch ratio, but I have used Trapper brand forever and I seemed to catch more with them. And I totally agree with the EWG brand. MUCH love to you and your family and thank you for all you do!
EWG is a type of hook bend, all brands sell extra-wide gap hooks (it's just the name for the actual wire-bends, the actual shape of the hook)
great video. My dad and I got a new boat, fish finder, trolling motor all that stuff. been hittin it hard lately and we found two or three spots with just huuuuge pockets of bass. but they are all down around 20-35 feet. we just couldn't get them. i tried dropping a senko down with no weight but think it just kinda floated around down there instead of sinking. Subscribed!
Love your tips B.Lat you are an amazing angler!!
Do you need to fizz the fish when you pull them from 20ft plus? I know if you release them right away, you don't have to, correct?
I have asked so many times, but this was the best explanation of how radar works. I have an analytical mind and need to know how it works and could never find out. Thanks.
Good stuff B. Lat 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
You do a good job explaining what your doing..why... And what is happening... Nice Video...... I just subscribed..looking forward to watching more... thank you..
Great video! I need to work on my deep water game. I get deeper than 12-14 ft and I might as well not have a line in the water lol
Dude I'm with ya.. I'm so use to beating the bank or cranking on points is as deep as it gets for me... Of course I don't have 1500$ panodix. Yes I'm jealous AF... Lol.

Very informative video. Love all the details. New to bass fishing from the crappie world. Needed some pointers for tackle.👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Love yo video I live in greenwood an fish greenwood lake a lot come on an hit greenwood an give me some tips lol running bird getting old 🤣🤣💪🏿💪🏿
BLAT dropping knowledge once again. This would work great on Smith Lake over here in bama
Hey man, I was thinking the same thing. I live on Rock Creek!😁🎣
I've received a few packs from my monster bass subscription, and from the times I've used them, I don't have a single negative to say about em... great video man.

Man I’ve got to admit that I’ve definitely did this🤣🤣🤣. I just get happy sometimes
@@BrianLatimerFishing who hasn't? But God damn some other dudes get fully psyched for a 12oz bass lol
You definitely have more realism on your channel
Thanks for the tips B!!! After church special today
Awesome winter BASS fishing thanks for the information on winter BASS fishing I normally don't fish winter I used to when I fished my BASS TOURNAMENT bk in the 80's and 90's
Your definitely an amazing finesse fisherman. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. What’s your favorite knot braid to leader?
Great trip and info! Thanks Brian
Making me want to go to West Point and catch those spotted bass! Those little guys are the gangstas of the bass world🔥
Good morning good to wake up to a nice video after preparing breakfast for the family Now I can do me watch my videos
Brother Brian, Just how big a fish was you planning on catching that you felt the need might arise that you needed to beat him with a dog gone tire iron to get him in the boat
Great vid ....keep it up Brian!
You are my favorite angler. Thank you for living your dream !!!!!!!!!
Great video and great channel!
Thanks BLat, Love your videos
LEARN MORE AND MORE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS B-LAT THANKS CUZ KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO I LOVE TO FISH FOR WINTER 🥶❄️ BASS
Hey, B. Lat. Another great video. Do you not bother with a band/o-ring because the elaztech is so durable or is there another reason?
Your videos are always interesting!
Thanks for the video Brian
Man I love what you do. You are an inspiration to me personally because you came from small town sc
Love the videos man.. what I would love to see is a video explaining once you have idled over and identified fish on your graphs how do you stop and position your boat to where you just mark those fish That's something I have a big problem with.
That’s easy! Go back to the waypoint.
🗣B.Lat stay with 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽 #comeoncuz
What size braid do you use with the 6# line?
most of the time I run a 1/0 owner mosquito for nose hook dropshot. I don't typically rig it weedless unless I'm powershotting. 9/10 times I throw a dropshot, it's a tiny swimbait nose-hooked...

Can you glue the bed head like how you showed and that way the body of the worm doesn't fly off?
Good video, Thanks Brian
When fishing at that depth, do you find you have issues with the swim bladders of the fish?
So is there any way you can do a video on your battery and power poles set up, please. About to pick the same boat.
Love your videos!!! You are helping me add to my arsenal. Come see us at Lake Bruin, Louisiana!!!
Nice. I normally go with the spoon. I'll play with the dropshot & neko. Thanks
Hey Brian
Is there a promo code available if we purchase these hooks online ?
B.Lat you're the man!!!!
Gansta asf fishing with them af1 👌🏽
I got some of those hooks in mystery tackle box. Freaking love them. I need to order more.
Thanks for information
Nike needs to make those shoes in a waterproof version! Great video, think those hooks will be hard to find?
Hey Brian got a question, what would be the best rod to pair the lews Hypermag with, I’m thinking a 7’2 just would like to know the best rod brand wise and such. Nothing too expensive, under $200. Thanks!
Interesting hook, so bought some, to try........thanks
is that a 93SV on your console?
I like those hooks 👍🏽 very good and I see now that you have the earbuds instead of jamming the phone up in your hat which is classic😀
Hey B Lat where can I find those thin Winn grips that you use on your bait caster?
Great work man
Fishin in my air forces ones..hell yea
u know its cold when Blat fishes with shoes ON, lol
what boat do you have?
sweet video''''' and thanks for the tips'''
Good job I am going to try that
What's your GPS speed on that boat with it loaded down?
GARMIN Nice👍
Got those same hooks from MonsterBass this month. I’ll be trying them when the water gets wet again in March
My friend fished with you at bassmasters in alabama.
Yo B Lat what’s the best way to stop your Z man plastics from melting down in the summer? I ruined like 10 bags last season in my boat from the heat. Is there a way to counter that?
Never had a issue. Make sure you read the package
@@BrianLatimerFishing lol good idea!
DROPPIN ON EM!!
Awesome videos.
I like how you said before you grew up with your pops fishing vertically with spoons and a flasher and you are doing the same but with new technology and techniques
That hook is similar to when crappie fishing!
Those hooks look like the trapper drop shot hooks I use they def stick em.
Blat u decided what trail u fishing???
is it kinda boring just going out and fishing for fun for you ?? or is it more enjoyable? Love your videos, learning and inspirational !!
I do enjoy "participating in the program"!!!
Might be a silly question but why not just throw that worm on a Ned rig instead of a neko? Seems like similar desired result but simpler . .
🧐
- fall rate
- action
- difference in presentation for that depth
Got those in my mtb yesterday!
Dude, I was kayak fishing today, in my aruba 10 sea dolphin lol don't laugh, I'm broke lol I seen a legit at least 12 pound bass rite next to me. We locked eyes for a second and it went into the deep. 100 percent it scared me lmao but I que didn't know how to fish deep for him thanks for the vid
I won’t tell nobody about that nico...tight lines bruh
“Locked up like a lawnmower in wet grass”
Good video
Is it better for me to use braided line on the baitcaster real every time I get backlash the line breaks in the spool
My cranking combo is the only setup I spool with straight fluoro. Everything else is braid or braid to mono or fluoro leader because I have a bad habit of getting excited and rushing my cast, which often gives me an overrun.

Gotta shop quick!
STRENGTH!
☝🏽
20 degrees in the mornings, I've never ever liked fishing that much.
thanks for the video. I agree with your hook take. Also I believe the wide gaps flex more
Where you fishing
the goatttt!!!!!!
I got some of those hooks Ik mystery boc
That hook you showed first is my least favorite lmao I’ve never lost so many fish
The Spearpoint? Was it the finesse GP?
