Understanding how bass eat lures or how bass attack their prey can help us as anglers. A bass will approach its prey in one of two ways. See why and how bass will attack our baits.

Thanks Doctor Bass Steve!!! πππ
Would be great to make a longer one of these with 5 inch stick worm, 7 inch ribbontail, 10 inch ribbontail, jig with 3 inch trailer, 5 inch trailer…
Thanks Steve
Hi how do you feel bites on texas rigs??? Like i cantππ
How big dhould my lure be
Reminds me of Ray Liotta
Wow this is the best instructional fishing channel Iβve found
Bacana demais amigo π
Thanks for posting! Excellent under water footage!!! IMO so very valuable to Anglers, a great service you are providing to us all.
Gambler Big EZ top water tye best reaction bite. Right in front of a pad
Your explanations are fantastic. I absolutely suck at using plastics when fishing. I have no idea wtf I'm doing. Put a shrimp on the line and I catch fish all day.
I fish the Nikko Helgrammite in small creeks for smallmouth and they canβt stand it if itβs sitting still. I fish it Texas rigged so it stands on its nose and I f I do a slow retrieve I donβt get near as many bites as I do if I just let it sit.
Its usually two or three thumps, one to get to his lips then another one or two to take it down
Bass look so goofy when theyβre underwater ππ
Dude π, Most Excellent ππ content on the subject! Very Through and Informative! You Got this down to a Science! π§ͺπ Great π Content and Very Informative π! Keep up the Amazing Work ππͺ! Sincerely Mr. Carl Gwizdala Sr.ππ
Nice work π
mantap tutorialnyaπ
A few days ago I got some crank baits it took me an hour to shop
it's momentum not inertia
Tubes are hreat havent been using them lately though
Awesome underwater footage!
Your underwater camera work is phenomenal!
0:54 This is why so many first time users of braid, miss so many fish. On mono or even Fluoro, you wonβt feel the bite until it has it completely. But with braids, you feel things you have never felt before & set the hook too early!
Natural great smile very welcoming
Good explanation
Great video! Man, what'd we do before underwater cameras existed, learn to think like a fish by merely ASSUMING what the fish is doing, thinking, and feeling?
Kalian mancing ikan kemudian mendapat ikan lalu kalian tdk memasak nya atau memakan nya kalian boleh memasak nya pakai bumbu masak yg ada di tempat kalian atau mencoba bumbu dari negara lain contoh bumbu dari indonesia dari china dari thailand dll dan lain lain agar kalian boleh memberi contoh ikan a bumbu nya ini ikan b bumbunya ini dan seterusnya nya terima kasi
bass the millisecond they see the slightest movement: holy spirit activate!
Great video man
You are a scientific-minded guy, Steve and I love the things you are investigating… all the same things we wonder about as bass anglers! Love the footage! I suppose if it were easy, we'd find a different past time… so many factors at play!
Straight to the point excellent work
So helpful! What camera do you use to capture the underwater reaction bite so clearly?
What do you do when the fish in our pond learn your baits and will not hit then at all?
Excelentes videos, muchas gracias he aprendido mucho
Informasi yang sangat bermanfaat β€
Great video, trying to get like you!
Great tips. Been having trouble getting anything to bite. Decided to dead stick it last night and just tap the rod everyone once in a while. Got my first bass to bite and tried setting way too early because I got excited. Thank you for the video itβs really helpful to newbies to actually see the fish bite
Wow nice bass and beautyfull your spot
Wow that really was new information for me that I think i needed. Hopefully i can apply it properly lol
I ripped em on Rage tail at Texoma the other day.Off the bank No FFS Straight up real Bass fishing.
