Bass Fishing: Conditions & Circumstances 1 

How refreshing to watch something with hard facts and in depth info and not trying to sell you a lure or something.

When I watch your videos I feel like I'm taking a college course on bass fishing haha 😂 love all the information!

Nobody else on RU-vid or other social media platforms gets in depth like Paul does. Love your channel bud I suggest it to everyone I kno.

Thank you, Paul, for all your videos. You have taught me so much about bass and fishing. I just caught a couple bass on incident banks using a swimbait. You teach. You don’t sell. That is refreshing, opposed to watching videos that flash $100k boats, motors, rods, the brand of lure you’ve got to have. I hope you keep doing what you do.

I appreciate you taking to time out Sir. Your videos are needed and has some of the best fishing content on this site. 🎣 Thanks for sharing.

Your videos are exactly what I am searching for when trying to find information. Great information and great presentation of the information. Can’t thank you enough

Paul, I think you should consider writing a book. I would bet you also journal? The information you provide is invaluable and educational. Thank you for investing so much time into these videos. Chad

Bless you ❤

I enjoy your videos... but you got the old proverb wrong. It is “If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day; If you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.”

Always look forward to more videos from you Paul. They seem to be few and far between but we all know you're a busy guy and they are certainly worth the wait. I look forward to this series on C&C & I know they are going to be very informative for alot of us. Anyhow TY Paul, praying you in some Godspeed on this series 💪🎣

Awesome and very informative!

This Friday just got better!!

I just found your channel and I LOVE IT! I have always loved to learn about everything and you are really taking me to school on one of my biggest passions...keep it up and I will keep soaking it up! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Your the best paul I cant wait for the new vfj , you've really helped me grow as an angler and you really changed my mindset when it come the large mouth bass THANK YOU !!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

awesome stuff Paul. looking forward to the videos! man im excited for this year. got a 60* day on march 3rd here in Massachusetts and got a 4pounder and a couple 2pounders plus a bunch of bites on a Swimbait on a huge hydrilla flat. easily the warmest winter we have had in a decade. the ponds barely ever froze up this year.

I have local pond I fish a lot, and it has Train Tracks running right by it. I have caught some of my Biggest Bass out there after a train goes by. I always wondered if it gets the bait stirred up from the vibrations? Or maybe it just wakes the bass up and gets the moving? Great video as always!

Absolutely love this channel.

Another phenomenal discussion. Your content always amazed me. Looking forward to the rest.

Nuance laiden gravy here folks. Pass the biscuits!

I absolutely agree with your assessment of technique explanations. “Depending on conditions....” ........what? Expand on that, man! “I use natural colors, transparent and this sparkly, flashing clown color with the KISS logo....you know, for certain conditions...” *gene simmons fish swims by in the background* I understand the challenge. There are an infinite number of variables out there...but broad strokes and one or two details can at least get you on the right path. Great stuff as always man 🤙

It would be really cool if you started doing videos on SMALL MOUTH BASS in Natural Lakes.

Large mouth bass remind me of dogs out in the country trying to bite your truck tires as you drive by, that being said it’s hilarious some of the lures and tactics we use to hunt them. I’ve always liked large mouths cause they go air borne and try to murder your lure at certain times of the year! Paul, thank you for your patience with large mouth bass! I haven’t fished much in the past during the winter for them but your videos make me want to saddle up! 😎🎣

This is the kind of stuff I long for from back when Discovery Channel was just 1 channel.

I enjoy your thorough and scientific approach to this presentation! I'm guessing you're formerly educated in some field within science? I'll be adding more of your videos to my queue!

Most definately the knowledge anglers must have to be successful on the water!

These videos are amazing thanks so much for your insights!!

Great information all your videos are really good.

You have no Idea how Thankful I am for you making this information available and sharing it with us. The way you explain and teach this knowledge is awesome making me a better Angler. I cannot wait for the next class and thanks so much again,m for your hard work in putting this classes together.

Paul I have really enjoyed your videos. I have often wondered how long a fish's memory lasts. What I mean is, if a bass is moved from the "hunt" mode to the "predator avoidance" mode due to a loud disturbance such as a large lure, a jumping fish on the line, or a starting of a boat motor. How long do they stay startled? Understandably, the variables make it difficult to be exact. But is there a rule of thumb?

Totally read the conditions today with the wind, the cold and the drizzle. It was tough especially on a tough lake to catch Bass in 46° water so I went to a smaller lake when I thought hey could be warmer water. Choose a cove with access to deep water, it was protected from the high winds, it's a known bedding place on the lake (well known be me). Crayfish haven't made a visual appearance yet so I know they are possibly targeting shad so I broke out my jerkbait. I've never caught one on a jerkbait so I just worked it the way everyone says to, then I felt a doink and then my rod started loading up so I started reeling. Caught my first jerkbait fish (lmb) of my life and I was hooping and hollering in the cold because I just did something I've never been able to do before. Two casts lateri catch a huge crappie on the same jerkbait now I didn't catch anymore than that in the jerkbait but I did lose one at the bank on lipless crankbait with a Willow blade on the back of it on a bad cast up shallow lol. I'm not saying it's all because I watched your video on this and the second addition but I am going to say what you explain certainly influenced my decisions to where, when and what!!!! Your advice based on your findings is legit and solid facts which is making me look pretty dang awesome to my friends who say you can't catch anything in this cold weather lol 💯🎣👍💪🔥

Awesome and informative as usual, Paul. 2251 views at the time of this post and "only" 196 likes. You deserve far better. Thanks for all you do Paul.

Your work is INVALUABLE!!!

Man, I hope this channel really takes off. You info is fantastic.

Wonderful channel that I’m absolutely sure will kick off just give it time and keep those amazing equality videos coming.

Man please please please keep going this channel is the best period!!!! NO CAP!!!!

Doug Hannan and you would have got along well

Awesome informative video been waiting for you

Love your videos. Always learning something new

Great video Paul. I look forward to the upcoming videos.

Awesome man feed me more science I love it and I love bass fishing!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this information!

Observation Skills ...I just spent 20 min attempting to find the perfect word that describes how much your Journals have improved my power of Observations. ( And catching!!) C&C, theres really no separation, in a...foundational sense, is there. Like an equation, needs two parts. Anyways, Thanks for the Dots and Connecting them for me! ;-) ..now im gunna binge on NoF...

youd think videos like these would get more views... looks like people are comfortable saying "depending on the conditions". love these videos and thanks for sharing. do you do any work in saltwater? im sure much of the information still applies but seeing some different major factors (i.e. salinity?) to consider in saltwater would be the cherry on top.

I'll watch this video later, depending on conditions 😎

You’re channel is phenomenal sir!👍

Thanks for your awesome videos man! I've been trying to watch all of them. Are you in Colorado?

Thank you so much for all of this information.

bros revealing government secrets

Looking forward to this series, Paul. Great intro!

Super Informative!

Who like to get an understanding of the different types of plant life in relation to fish types

Great job this will be fun

Looking forward to the next video in this series.

WOW! You are special. This info is GOLD!

Awesomeness,thanks for making our weekend better,enjoy yours Paul,,And enjoy your time on the water

So helpful!!!!

Great info bro

Terrific!!

Loving the content Paul, keep up the great work, you are appreciated! Oregon bass angler

This content is seriously mind boggling... thank you sir for this wealth of knowledge!! Mind = blown 🤯🤯🤯

This is the most awesome hidden gem of a channel and series I've come across. Thank you so much for teaching us how to be more confident on the water!

I've been catching thousands of bass over the last 25 years or so. I've learned so much from this man's videos in the last week that I've been watching them. Idc who you are, there is a lot to gain from watching this library. I hope it stays public for all to soak up for many decades to come.

Awesome videos, the amount of detail and information is outstanding. Any angler no matter skill and experience can learn from these. Only wish you didn't stop doing them and there were a lot more! Thank you though.

New sub here on an all day binge 😂

Such a unique approach to teaching about largemouth angling, truly the only channel I've found that explains so much about why, and not just promoting some company's lures. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put in for our benefit Paul, especially since I'm confined to bank fishing mostly ponds, which is also a unique aspect of this channel that gets almost zero attention on other channels. Keep up the amazing work.

Finally a view of bass fishing from a ecologist point of view! This is the best bass info on the internet that I’m aware of!

0:47 - "Teach someone to catch a fish and they'll be fed for a day...teach them TO fish and they'll be fed for a lifetime." You doubled up on the same thing...teach fishing Pretty sure it's ***GIVE*** a man a fish and he's fed for a day.....teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime.

This is awesome. You should make this into a book.
