Too much misinformation out there when it comes to fishing. Myths and rumors run rampant. I am glad you stand your ground and tell the nay-sayers and know-at-alls, how it is. 👍
Oh man, this is a top 3 fishing video! [Bold statement] Super informative, detailed and accurate. Learned so much and laughed along the way, awesome~ keep being informative #fishingTips
Wow you are awsome grew up fishing with my dad never did he show me that much. He didn’t teach me to bass. Now that I have my own little bass boat and fishing with my uncle I have been learning. Thanks to you I have been feeling like I am a perfesional angler. You have a style like my Dad love everything you do you have touched me and I am learning awsome things. Thank you Bird
U taught me a lot in this video but I was told if u don't send the bass toward there bed they wont bed in the same bed anymore and then stop bedding is that true
Thank you so much for the break down I love to bed fish from the bank but I always thought I was doing something wrong now I know how to do it thanks !!!!!!!
As usual, the best fishing info out there. PERIOD! The point about size change instead of bait type change is gold! And the pop and sweep tip alone is worth watching this video! Once again, you just made me a better angler! You da man IF!
Great video Nick. Appreciate it. Like to say had a great time last Saturday. Put on a great clinic, great booths, and the kids had a blast. Thank you, much appreciated.
Nick, Thank you for all you do Brother! You told me to go back for the big one I missed a few days ago, and I caught her Yesterday and beat my PB! she was 7.10. Not a monster, but a step up the ladder. Keep on bringing that quality information Nick! Not many guys break it down like you do! Tight Lines!!
me n my son we're at the IF Toyota expo n I swear he says it's the best day he's ever hade we went to the river ponds after n got skunked but still he was so excited thx for the gear n fan appreciation
Let me tell you something, brother. In the Toyota Series on Dale Hollow in April of 2020, nearly 1/3 of the bass that were caught from the beds (mostly on Ned Rigs) died because of being hooked TOO DEEP. YES, bedding fish can EASILY be killed by careless anglers. Simply avoid Ned Rigs, and any other lures with a single, SMALL hook.
Good info bro. Last year was my first year to get to bed fish and there was a few I couldn't get. It helped my fishing more than I could've imagined to just see how in tune they with any movement at all near them. They have a good radius of senses to detect movement. And I was amazed how little rod movement I needed to get the baits to do what I wanted. I can say I overworked most baits for a long time. And it is definitely NOT LIKE SHORTING FISH IN A BARREL. I'm hooked!
Hey Nick just wanted to say your videos are awesome! Caught my first fish at new melones thanks to the tips you gave in another video. Even caught a 5 pounder the other night on a drop shot and a roboworm! Keep up the awesome vids
Awesome nick no other angler has the specific perspective on fishing like you have when it comes to knowing exactly what to do. Very smart and inspirational videos man. I have learned so much from you and what you upload I always try to add that to my approach in different scenarios on the water , thanks nick the informative fisherman. Keep it up man. Want one of them rods bro lol
Awesome video as always sir!!! Thank you so much for spending your time to help us fisherman that don't get to the chance to fish as much as we would like to! One question though about your comment on boat flipping a bass onto the carpet. I was always told that the carpet can rub off the protective slime coat a fish has to protect themselves from disease (unlike a rubber coated net). And what about boat flipping a fish in the summer when your boat carpet feels like its a 1000 degrees? Just curious, thank you again sir!!!
James marine grade carpet that comes on boats does very little harm unless you really try to grind them against it on purpose. With the heat you don't want to keep them on the floor any longer then you need to land them. When boat flipping you will also see me grab the line to support the head from impacts when they shake, thanks brother!
Ok so honest question if you catch the male and put him somewhere else in that last resort senario and she doesn't go up and protect the bed or even just takes half and hour to an hour to do so then what is to prevent other species from coming and eating the eggs?
DOUBLEO (obsession outdoors) if you have to pull the male to get her to move up it’s very rare that there’s eggs on the bed. Most of the time she’s gone or on when the eggs are on the bed. On top of that less than 20% of bass spawn in less than 8’ so very little harm either way
InformativeFisherman ok great! Thanks for the response and the info love the channel btw between you and tactical bassing I've became ten times the angler I used to be so thanks!
Awesome 'master class' Nick! Great info. What brand neck gaiter are you wearing? It looks nice and big and appears to prevent that annoying gap that occurs between the bottom of the gaiter and top of your shirt collar. Any info is appreciated.
Thank you for information. I can't believe I haven't seen this before. Right now they are more interested in chasing bluegill away from the bed than anything I drag across.
This was so incredibly informative however the best nugget of information was that if you knock over a beer you might as well pack up and go home because that's what the bass are gonna do
You should really list links to the gear and baits that you use. That way fishermen can see how we can choose our own similar equipment or lures at a cheaper price or even buy the exact lures. I understand if there are some baits you wouldn't want to discuss that are your "secret" baits, but it would be really helpful to have links. Especially equipment like rod, reel, eye wear (brand of polarized glasses), and line size/ brand. Thank you for your awesome informative videos! Epic footage and perfect explanations. Thank you for all you do.
The Metro BBC Big Bass Catchers I sometimes do that more in the beginner style of videos. I based this one more around what you should do more over what you should use, thanks brother!
So I've read that the main "conservation" issue with bed fishing Is, when you remove the fish from the bed other fish swoop in and eat all the eggs. What are your thoughts on this? I'm neither here nor there as I'm just getting back into fishing and quite frankly have very little idea about what I'm talking about, as i mentioned i just read that somewhere and figured I'd ask as I trust your opinion more than any so far in regards to fish.
How long does the process take? Without a fishermans interference. So the male and female meet. Do their thing, male stays and protects. How long might that whole process take? A week? Couple days?
i rented a boat a couple times last week and i tried to anchor before a cove. the rental anchor failed i get blown into the cove on top of some bushes and bam 8 huge hogs roll out the cove. i caught a few dinks there but the bigs never came back... the other day diff cove its murky where im at. though i wanted to sight fish but i anchor. bam two big hogs come look at anchor line then me and take back off into the murk. i catch a couple dinks there. both big hogs come chasing them to boat and back down.. i stay there for 2 hours. try everything.. one time i was doing roboworm its close to boat both hogs coming i relax it they both take off... argh. i got a couple decent ones from shore. though im thinking of renting a boat again tomorrow. the sad thing i lose my go pro and have no phone. but i borrow my roomates and got a couple stills of a few of the fish i got the spawn mostly dinks though. this only my 2nd spawn. you got some tanks.
@IF about 3 days ago, I caught two monster sized Striped Hybrid Bass with nothing but a pink and yellow twisted tail jig and a light weight pole. Needed help getting them out the water.
Fully Agree with a lot of points! I can't stand people who livewell a limit of big bass just to try to get a picture. There's no need to shove them in a livewell all day when not fishing a tournament. Also, fully agree about boat flipping and maintaining tension. I can't stand people who immediately release all tension as soon as the fish is in the boat. Swindle did that during the Classic and then tried to look cool in front of the camera after the bass smashed down on the bottom of his boat from several feet in the air. That was idiotic and classless.
FishingThePNW yeah that sucks, I also forgot to mention I also hold the line to support the head once in too. I think it’s more of an overlooked thing to be honest. Thanks bro!
In my local tournament series, they let us take the bass back to the beds after the tournament. I have no fear with keeping a female as long as I can take her back.
Catching a fish on top of a bed blows up the bed. Even if you don't hurt the bed fish or take them to a different part of the lake like in tournaments, , nobody is coming back with tweezers to pick up all the eggs and rebuild the nest. Example , the first catch at 2:56. Isn't that brood destroyed? It seems like hose little bass won't even grow up to be part of the food chain let alone be sport fished.
Well bed fishing became easy for me and my cousin because we didn't have a boat, when were 10-15yrs old. That was the only way we could catch a PB,by beating the banks.
Tim L it can be if you’re trying to do it to a non striking fish. I should of clarified that a bit better but that’s also another reason I placed it at the end. It’s not really even pulling the bait forward as much as it is turning the bait over.
Central Coast Bass you're right it's too easy, because bass expose them selves. Some can be stubborn but if you fuck with them long enough they will get mad
Too much misinformation out there when it comes to fishing. Myths and rumors run rampant. I am glad you stand your ground and tell the nay-sayers and know-at-alls, how it is. 👍

Love this breakdown brother! Such good stuff here that people can learn from! Kudos Nick!
Chris King Outdoors thanks bro!
Awesome 'master class' Nick! Great info. What brand neck gaiter are you wearing? It looks nice and big and appears to prevent that annoying gap that occurs between the bottom of the gaiter and top of your shirt collar. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks bro it's a VC gulrz face shield
InformativeFisherman - Sweet. Thanks Nick!
Thank you for information. I can't believe I haven't seen this before. Right now they are more interested in chasing bluegill away from the bed than anything I drag across.
Cool dog Nick.
Great video nick but wtf is up with your buddies reel around 36:41
Super light line, was running the drag loose
In most tournament situations bed fish have to be caught "inside the mouth". Big glide baits are risky don't you think? Great info though!
U taught me a lot n the video if u catch a bass off it's bed and u don't send it toeard it's bed it won't bed any more is that true
awesome episode and awesome dog
Nice video Nick
Love the info I’m gonna try some of these tips man fr appreciate that
that first Glide Bait fish in the beginning was some awesome footage
kushcrumbleshatter1990 crushed it!
Love the information
Awesome video
This was so incredibly informative however the best nugget of information was that if you knock over a beer you might as well pack up and go home because that's what the bass are gonna do
You deserve more subs. I know you will bro. Hi from Malaysia.
Mata Kail thanks bro, UA-cam doesn’t like long content. They would rather me produce 4 short videos a week

Awesome!

Braden Fuller yeah
call me old school, but i prefer to get out of bed to catch bass. #gottabeactive!!!
jer bo 😆
Lmfao 😂
How many weeks is the actual spawn? I've heard people say you only have a couple of days to catch a fish once they start the spawn
TEAM RACKIT 2 days to two weeks at times bro, depends on weather
InformativeFisherman is that for each fish or for all fish
Bass primarily
lmao the filthy drop on the intro. nicks rave phase
Andres Avila 🤣
Dam i Wish They Would Let My Lake Quail Lakes Get Clear i Have Been fighting With The Home owners association For a Few Years Now

i caught a bed fish at sugar barge and That is the only fish that I caught today i am going out again tomorrow
In my local tournament series, they let us take the bass back to the beds after the tournament. I have no fear with keeping a female as long as I can take her back.
When boat flipping the fishing catch it when to swing
BNT Fishing I grab the line to support the head if they are big. Smaller ones I do catch most of the time
Can you make a bed fishing video for trout and grab yourself some more viewers lol you deserve at least a million.
TROUT PALACE trout fisherman are anti bed fishing, thanks bro!
LOL!!! Knock over your beer!!! You don't have to far to go!!! Ha ha ha!!
DeltaBassBuster lol!
life long fan n expect us to be at all off your show outs
Thats crazy i always wondered why some males have two females
I watched a video showing that when a bed is caught it’ll return to the bed.
Michael Tarr yes they do
Catching a fish on top of a bed blows up the bed. Even if you don't hurt the bed fish or take them to a different part of the lake like in tournaments, , nobody is coming back with tweezers to pick up all the eggs and rebuild the nest.

Pet bass?
Donnie Young yep
That’s one big ass dog you got there...
trevor goins 😆 Mississippi leg hound
Well bed fishing became easy for me and my cousin because we didn't have a boat, when were 10-15yrs old. That was the only way we could catch a PB,by beating the banks.
D M J right on
the pop sweep sounds a whole lot like snagging
regardless, loved the video.
Tim L it can be if you’re trying to do it to a non striking fish. I should of clarified that a bit better but that’s also another reason I placed it at the end. It’s not really even pulling the bait forward as much as it is turning the bait over.
Bed fishing is easy, if your good. Tried it once, caught every one. Nice video but I don't bed fish any more.
Central Coast Bass you're right it's too easy, because bass expose them selves. Some can be stubborn but if you fuck with them long enough they will get mad
did you get what i said
yeah
Some of those didn’t even fight😂😂😂😂
Froze up
i dont know why im watching this we cant bed fish in canada:(
oh really???
my zone in ontario* actually. sucks though, having to drive 5+ hours
First lol
Nice video Nick
