Great video! I like this voice over format. It's very helpful as you walk us through your thought process on finding the fish. The banners that show the depth, temp, and time of year are great for context, too. Maybe try to catch a few of those crappie sometime. I'd love to improve my crappie skills, too. Best wishes!
Good video. I like that you explain what your thought process is in a voice over. On the rare chance that someone makes one, I LOVE videos start by explaining all the pre-lake plan before getting on the lake including areas, techniques and baits and why. Then do some of the thinking on the lake, but voice over is great. Then, go over how it went, adjustments made. All with the WHY? There used to be a TV show here for years and years and they did those very things. It was great that even if they went out and got skunked, they filmed it and why they thought they failed. The more details and the THOUGHT PROCESS the better. Thanks for the video. Always enjoy watching.
voice over is great. Would be helpful knowing how deep the off shore fish are and which lure you are using. Include colors, +/- rattle, retrieve speed, and boat position. Thanks. Glad to see you back.
More voice over about the thought process is more valuable to me. I have not done that much in my videos, but I’m heading the direction in the future. Of course seeing catches based on those thoughts or understanding why the thoughts didn’t work are also very valuable.
I like the way you do all of your vid's. Be it talking on the boat or the voice over type. All of them are like being in a classroom. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us.
Thank you for the videos that you make. As others have said Very Informative & High Quality. Your videos are really helping me with my graph and game as well as giving me more confidence to move more off shore. I just think for some of us, our on water time is limited, so we end up doing what we know and/Or are comfortable with. .....Like pounding the banks. Got to try new things to learn and to expand our knowledge and therefore to improve and become better. Thank You....keep em coming Please!
Really a well done video! I like this format for the kind of information your giving. Having said that, I also like the fishing and talking videos as well. Perhaps a happy medium between the two would be nice. What ever you do will be fine for us avid followers. Great work!
Excellent Video... Thanks a lot for the info. (Lake Hamilton CAN be very hard to fish, if you don't know the "Sweet Spots"!). Good luck in the Tourneys this year...
I like the voice over format. Let’s you focus on your graphing and fishing. Maybe more specifics on bait choices, like what you tied on before practice and adjustments you made during. Idk, I’ve only been subbed a short while and I’ve learned so much already. Thanks man, and good luck on the tournament grind this year.
was there a tenkiller tourney video after your practice? I'm liking the practice day tournament day approach. It will encompass patterns dying, coming, and adjustment. But, these videos are always good.
Really great channel, lots of good info and advice. Thanks! A question: you cast with your right hand and then switch the rod to the left hand and reel in right handed, why not cast right and reel in with the left hand?
The way you recommend is the way I do it. I used a spinning reel only until about 4 years ago. When I got my first bait caster it felt more natural for me to go with a “left handed” reel and cast with my right, reel with my left. I asked an older angler one time why he used “right handed” reels for baitcasters but reeled with his left on spinning reels. He told me that when he started, “left handed” reels weren’t really a thing so everyone learned to reel with their left on spinning reels and their right on casting reels. I think that style of fishing have lived on by the older generations teaching the younger ones how to fish. Just my thoughts.
Maybe include some of you Google Earth and topo map study prior to practice. It would be interesting to see how you eliminate areas based on map/creek channel info
Jonny...my lakes are beginning to flood. The temperatures are 48-51°. The water is muddy and full of debris. Locating fish on my electronics is very difficult in all of this debris. I've spent 2 days and haven't caught a single fish. In fact I may habe only caught a "handful" of fish since last may. I've studied and followed all of your tips, and practiced them rigorously for about a year now. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Which baits and locations would be best in the conditions that I've listed above? Its pre-spawn so locations in these conditions....would they be the same? Baits?
In those conditions, I would be fishing shallow in the newly flooded cover. Through a spinnerbait with a big Colorado blade, a jig, and a chatterbait around flooded cover. The key in those conditions is finding slightly clearer water and covering water. You may fish for 2 miles and not get a bite, then pull up on a 30 yard stretch and catch 10 bass. It's kind of like finding a needle in a hay stack in those conditions so just put the trolling motor and 60% and cover water. Also, don't be afraid to fish in 2-5ft of water when water temps are in the upper 40's
Daniel Daniel hey hey Awesome brother, Johnny actually got back to you!!! Reminds me of the “old” days on here lol! Great question that helped me as well. Not spawn here yet, at least I don’t think, but still motivational! Tight lines!
Benefits to both video formats... could do both in the same video... have your voice over like this one when prefacing the day, and then cut to fishing and live instruction in the boat

You’re the man, thanks for openly sharing your knowledge
Just awesome. These types of videos help me understand how to pre-fish.
I like the vids that show the offshore marks you checked for fish helps me know where to look on lakes I'm not familiar with
Always learn from you sharing your fishin IQ looking forward to the Hamilton tourney, have fun

Voice over works great but they're all good video's. Thanks Jonny

Johny, Really liked this format.

Great work. The format works well for me. Keep it up!
Just moved to Hot Springs from Arizona. I’m 2 miles from the ramp and can’t wait to get on the water.
Well done. Very informative and well executed.
Great video! Very educational to me
This video was AWESOME!! I love this format! I love all your content lol
Great video! Very informative.
Love the format 👍🏻
Very good video man nice insight on practice for tournaments.
Excellent Video... Thanks a lot for the info.
(Lake Hamilton CAN be very hard to fish, if you don't know the "Sweet Spots"!).
Good luck in the Tourneys this year...
Great video man!
Great format
Videos are always on point. Learn alot from you. How did the tournament go?
Really enjoyed this one bro! I learned so much from you every time I watch one of your videos!

Keep doing this I learned alot
Team YOLOtek loves when your videos drop! Best use of The BOOM! our epic mount in the business! #AlwaysBeRecording
Enjoyed, keep em coming
Just love you ! Awesome
I wish you would do a couple of videos on kettle lakes that are basically round and don't have a lot of structure.

Who are your sponsors? Mercury? Positive energy. Dig the videos. You ever Kayak fish?
I'd like to see you fish some FLWs and Central Opens.
Love this one.
Maybe include some of you Google Earth and topo map study prior to practice. It would be interesting to see how you eliminate areas based on map/creek channel info
Next time your down here hit me up, I fish the Arkie Division of the BFL. I know some good spots 😎
I like this video. I would like to hear how far out to the side you are scanning when you are showing side imaging. Great job though.

@@FishtheMoment Thank you! You've been a huge help for me getting back into fishing after 23 years away from the sport. Best wishes to you Jonny!
Daniel Daniel hey hey Awesome brother, Johnny actually got back to you!!! Reminds me of the “old” days on here lol! Great question that helped me as well. Not spawn here yet, at least I don’t think, but still motivational! Tight lines!
Voice over all the way!
Do you use 455 khz or 800 whats the best for DI when going over ledges to find bass i don’t have side image yet
Jonny, What is the best way to know for sure that the current is running?
Good question, may i add. If its so slow you cant tell does it even count as current?
Benefits to both video formats... could do both in the same video... have your voice over like this one when prefacing the day, and then cut to fishing and live instruction in the boat
Spa City
U should start actually fishing tournaments
Format changes so much now, I never know what to expect when I click play. Information always stays valuable though.
Bennybass is that why I can’t stop buying Crankbaits then?!🤔
