My father is 83. I have every issue of bassmaster magazine from feb 1970 he owned. The problem is we have been lied to for ever. Tight wiggle in winter, jerk baits only in cold water. Almost all of the articles in these magazines are not true. Only when fishing went live did we get to see the truth.
You weren't lied to really - they just reported and explained what they thought to be true at the time - or what was true where the author of the article fished. I don't think Bassmaster magazine was intentionally trying to mislead people. If they did, people wouldn't have felt like they were learning anything if their catch rates didn't improve and they'd have stopped buying into B.A.S.S. altogether. Same with In-Fisherman and other fishing mags at the time. Technology changes, tactics change and people learn more and more about fish behavior and how to catch them every year.
Thanks, Randy! Really appreciate you, your tips and your channel. I've only been bass fishing a couple years. I fish as a co-angler in my monthly club tournaments and use your advice and some from other seasoned bass catchers. I need all the help I can get.
Randy this video right here was advertised on my Google feed!!!! Dude that’s incredible I wish you all the success. Proud of your accomplishments and love how you share your knowledge.
Hay Randy, I really enjoy your videos and the one I watched the other day when you mentioned Doug Hannah. I bet a lot of your viewers haven’t heard of Homer Circle. I have a autograph copy of his book Bass wisdom. He’s another old bass angler. Another talking point for you!
45 years ago I won my first club tournament about this time of year on an AC Shiner Jerkbait. When I fished the 2005 Classic in Pittsburgh in the summer KVD won it with a Jerkbait. Good pro tip!
@@clay7514 It was! It was my 2nd Classic. My first was in 1991 and I fished the BASS Invitational from 1991-1995. Back then they were draw events so I had fished several of the anglers previously and knew most of them.
@@clay7514 I did a lot better in 1991, 13th! The crazy thing is I made the 2 held closest to my house. I had some experience on the Chesapeake prier to that Classic. Still fish it a couple times a year and won a tournament there 3 weeks ago. 2005 is the only time I've fished that part of the Ohio (I finished 4th at the 1999 BASS Federation Eastern Divisional on the Ohio in WV). I mislead some outdoor writers and let them think I knew something about the place since I live in PA. Went in as a favorite, lol.
@@clay7514 yes I've met Randy. The guys he traveled with, Danny and Bob were from the north east and I knew them really well from fishing Red Man 1985-1990.
Thanks for the tips and tricks Randy! I’ve been catching bass on jerk baits doing what you are talking about. I’ve been fishing a suspending jerk bait this summer in hot conditions. The fish are taking the bait on the pause.
Do Bass have a memory bank? We catch the same bass living under the dock? Your right he is there most of the time and we catch and release, a lot of fun to catch, 4 lb Large mouth!
Some commenters are saying it’s BS about the 30-50 bass a day. Poor souls. I really hope they are new to the sport. One of the best days I ever had was in December in a cold, clear-water Dale Hollow. 31 Smallmouth on float-n-flies and Whirly Bees. I’ve had a few days with WELL over that on other lakes.
I’ve smoked em in the current moving water , or an over flowing dam in the summertime , it works so good in moving flowing water , that PRO that was fishing an overflowing dam on a keitech fat impact with a line through presentation , that won the BASS tournament , I bet he could have caught em on a jerkbait too , i remember watching it on TV and the water was gushing over the dam and it brought back memories for me when I caught em in a spot like that but here
I always used jerkbaits when I was more of an avid Bass fishermen and I always out fished my buddies using soft plastics 2 to 1 3 to 1 or even more. Just getting back into bass fishing so Thanks for the video!
You know what I'd like to see in the tournaments Just One X go back old school without all the brand new electronics that just have flashes and see what happens
Hi Randy. Just a heads up. The audio on your last 3 or so videos when you are outside in your new yard has been marginal at best. It has been very hard to understand you at times.
Randy , you need to get on the water and show the audience how it’s done pls. I am like Tomas, the disciple: need to see to believe. Pls consider this feedback with future videos as well. Thank you
When I fish a area that I know holds fish and I can't catch anything I try a different bait until something works my last 3 outings same place n spots one day tiny torpedo couldn't keep them off next time a general worm and last week a bass assassin each time it's all they wanted. I try everything until something works and go with it.
I do the same thing. The last couple days I’ve been chucking swimming jigs and i almost caught one with every cast. Two weeks ago I couldn’t get a single bite on a jig.
@@smelltheglove2038I was killing them on a little 1/8-1/4 Johnson paddle tail swim jigs back in May but haven't caught any on it since June. I did catch my first bass on a jerk bait in June though. Threw on a cheapy pink jerk bait that I've had for ever and never tried, don't even know what brand as I think I got it off of Wish before Temu came out. Was just trying it out and on my second cast my wife called because she had to pick me up early, so I had paused the jerk bait while I spoke with her for about a minute. Hung up and started reeling the jerk bait in thinking I wasn't going to catch anything they day but to my surprise I felt stuck on something and then figured out there was a bass on the line. 😁 I've always read to pause the jerk baits for a little bit and it apparently does work but I'll have to try the rapid twitch with no pause since I mainly bank fish shallow areas.
Same,and ill throw a tandem spinner on boils if i miss on the black and white tiny torp,or even my jitterbugs or quad buzz baits(i dont use plopper whoppers ever,im a sporting fisherman)
I fish just about every week year-round. I always catch fish but I've never caught more than a dozen in any 8-hour day. 30 to 50 fish seems outrageous to me.
I put 34 bass and 1 bluegill in my boat in 3-1/2 hours. In south ga on a 3-1/2” suspending jerkbait. Not an every outing occurrence but is absolutely possible.
The most I've caught in about two hours was 25 but they were holed up at a pipe line where one retention pond feeds into another. Caught them mainly on a wacky rig and a Marabou crappie jig. Alot of them were tiny though ranging about 8 inches but still fun to catch that many so quickly!
Randy, what in the world is going on with your audio? Whoever is editing it, sounds like they were trying various audio filters. Man oh man, a tough listen.
That is more than wind. Sounds like someone tried to fix it using an audio filter, and they didn't know what they were doing. If you buy a set of Rode wireless Go II's, that will fix your problem. They come with a "dead cat" filter that you can place over the transmitter. That takes out most wind noise. You can clip it to your shirt, and your audio will sound great.
I’ve found that it becomes a lot less effective when the fish first pull out to their summer haunts, but like a lot of other things, it starts to become more effective again pretty soon after they arrive. May and June I don’t do as well, but by July it can be dynamite again
Don't tell us it works...SHOW us it works!!! When someone tells me they catch 30-50 bass per day in July...I want to SEE them do it...otherwise, it doesn't happen.

The thing about fishing is you can make it yours(ive seen my brother slay all year with white on white buzzbaits)

I kill it in the summer with a jerkbait. Not sure why everyone says jerkbaits work best in cold water. The key is the depth!

"First thing you want to look for is boat docks." All the boatless anglers join in with me: "sigh......."
I like throwing them in the summer around lay downs. Brings the fish out of hiding.

I've never seen anyone catch 30-50 bass in a day, on tv or other wise. Must be one heck of a fish filled lake.

Your buddies sucked..js
We talk about livescope to much that it’s over shadowing the effects that AquaView is having on the Tour. Let’s talk about it!
I'm putting a mask and snorkle on the yak this summer.
How many guys have it compared to FFS? It’s not effective at all in stained water and low light. How much of a role do you think it really plays?
Last I knew under water cameras are not permitted in MLF/BASS sanctioned tournaments. I could be wrong my wife says I am all the time!

@@firemazer9202 I can’t even throw a jerk bait in summer around here. The grass gets so thick with all the geese poop nitrogen in the water.
Yeah one of my main ponds is line that alot so I go to my other pond that thankfully is pretty clear.
Same,and ill throw a tandem spinner on boils if i miss on the black and white tiny torp,or even my jitterbugs or quad buzz baits(i dont use plopper whoppers ever,im a sporting fisherman)
If I could choose one lure to fish 12 months out of the year, it’d probably be a jerkbait. As always, thanks for the tips Randy
I fish just about every week year-round. I always catch fish but I've never caught more than a dozen in any 8-hour day. 30 to 50 fish seems outrageous to me.
I've had excellent fishing days and never caught that many
I thought the same. To average up to 50 means catching more than 50. I don't believe it.
I put 34 bass and 1 bluegill in my boat in 3-1/2 hours. In south ga on a 3-1/2” suspending jerkbait. Not an every outing occurrence but is absolutely possible.
This is not the first time Randy has talked about catching 30-plus fish a day. The more I think about it the more I want to call BS.

thanks Randy. I figured the retrieve had to be quick in the warm water, so appreciate the retrieved method at the end of the video as expected.
Thank you Randy! Can you tell me if you would fish a jerk bait at night in July?
I'm gonna have to try this out...thanks for all you do on here...much appreciated....👍
Randy, can you prove 30-50 bass a day? That’s super high and a lot of anglers are and should be skeptical of claims like that
I’m lucky to catch 2 😂
I’d lose 30 to 50 jerkbaits a day the River I fish in
Good tip Randy. I too used to think that with warm weather, it was time to put them away till next fall.
Randy you got something going on with your mic. Not just with this video. Its hard to concentrate on what your saying with all the weird noises
I think it’s the wind outside. I’m gonna have to start doing them inside on the windy days.

Not false.
