Thanks for demonstrating respect for the fish and sharing how to remove a deep gut hook. You may have just saved 1,000's of fish lives right there.

@MattLunaFishing 6 лет назад

Bruce Thompson agreed!

@catfish6138 4 года назад

Yup, they are a precious resource. Well done!!

@letsgobrandontrump2024 4 года назад

I had to remove my grandfather’s first bass fishing with me by cutting off the barb on one of my favorite cheapy jigs because the hook was set just in front of the poor lil guys eye in the hard bone or cartilage so I figured I’d rather lose my lure and let the future big guy be free worth it

@oscartango8234 3 года назад

One more thing, the benefit of being a sport fisherman is the virtue of taking care of nature by conservation and rescue of misfortunate wildlife such as the bass with a hook in its throat. Gene, you are a good example of how anglers should approach fishing. Thank you for being on youtube. Sincerely, your subscriber.

@josheverett1239 7 лет назад

The 20 people who disliked this must not like to catch fish because without fluke your gonna get skunked, thanks gene the videos are awesome!

@Flukemaster 7 лет назад

LOL Thanks Josh

@todd5198 7 лет назад

Thats what we needed, the basic way to move a jig and get a strike, I don't know why others miss the the basic movement instructions, without them an angler can't fish a type of bait, thanks again Gene.

@williamayers3954 4 года назад

I used this advice to fish with my first jigs today. I caught 6 and 3 got away from me. Awesome techniques great advice thank you.

@kentm7465 5 лет назад

“Says make sure you set the hook over your shoulder” 3 seconds later sets hook with side sweeping motion. Love it!

@murphroberts4891 3 года назад

I completely agree with your statement regarding taking a handful of jigs, a couple of rods and nothing else and go fishing. That's the way I've learned o fish every bait I use- topwaters, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and everything else. Eliminate all the distractions and the temptation to switch baits, and force yourself to learn ways to use one bait, alone. Some might think it's crazy to take only a couple Pop-Rs to the lake in February, but they would be more surprised at the number of bass that rise to it.

@JohnsFishTales 7 лет назад

I dragged a football jig with a craw trailer behind my kayak the other day while casting a spinner bait. My rod doubled over in the holder and I hauled in a very nice 4 pound Bass.

@sSlammeR 7 лет назад

Definitely do the package opening at the end of the fishing lesson instead of making it a video of its own others do it and it tends to get boring! Thank you for all of the vids helps me out so much!

@jvdfishing6560 7 лет назад

Haha great video fluke, as always. My dad in 20 years only caught one fish on a jig and it hit as soon as the bait hit the water, he never had confidence in them. I picked one up for the first time and 12 casts later hauled in an 8lb 12oz bass. I ended up teaching my dad how to fish a jig.... haha

@copw5 4 года назад

I had a similar experience the bass I caught was just a little under 7 pounds

@christopherpettersen2359 5 лет назад

Ok, so I know this video is two years old at the time of my comment , however I need to thank you. Every season I work on a technique or two to either improve on it or learn it. I've never been a jig fisherman. So this season I thought I put the time in. This morning I watched two of your vidoes on football jigs, and literally, within 1 hour of watching, I was dragging a Z-Man green pumpkin football jig and turbo craw trailer, and managed to catch and land 3lb NJ smallmouth bass. Not bad in my book.

@miguelperez-vh9rp Год назад

Started fishing a football head jig with a Yamamoto skirted grub probably 10ish years ago; That quickly became my confidence bait for bass.

One of your best instructional videos, especially with the bonus at the end with the fish that swallowed the hook. No telling how many fish I have killed because I did not know what to do.

How awesome that you saw that hook and was able to remove it....another nice job...

@Flukemaster 7 лет назад

Thanks Duke. I just wish I could have shown the removal better. So much going on while I do it that I really need a camera man to show the technique.

@thewackyman5025 7 лет назад

A swimjig caught my PB bass. Never had any action on them last year, tried it once and never went back. Tried it again this year, no action but I kept trying, and it paid off. I've never gotten so many big bites in my entire life, and I pulled my PB out.

I ran out of black blue craws to put on my black blue jig so i used a green pumpkin one and caught a big smallie on the next cast. I been a firm believer ever since

@LucasBassFishing 7 лет назад

👍👍👍👍👍 could watch these vids all day everyday

@aidankeller1717 7 лет назад

All i did one day on a river, (the Yakima River) was just drag a black and blue jig with a blue craw on my MH rod (6'6") and I only caught 1 fish that day (and only got 1 bite too). But it was a decent 2.5lb-3lb smallmouth bass which made up for the slow day I was having. P.S.-- That river is rocky underneath the bridge I was fishing, but it's still quite muddy and a blue-ish to brown color.

@ScooterBlia2 6 лет назад

Sometimes I wished I could be out 60-100 yards from the shore and still be fishing 8-15ft of water. 15-20 yards out and I'm hovering over 50+ft. LOL! Mostly clear reservoirs around my area in California.

@jamescanady8156 5 лет назад

My best day ever fishing was with a black/blue jig with a red trailer. My boater partner couldn't catch a fish, and finally put down what he was throwing and tied another jig.

@mathteacher2651 3 года назад

I really like how you saved that fish!!!

@RealisticFishing 7 лет назад

I think I would have more confidence in a jig if I didn't snag and lose every one I've owned.

@vduber03 4 года назад

Think we all feel the same lol

@bleach2856 4 года назад

Need the right rod then. Gotta be able to feel everything and it also helps to build your mental sonar by fishing the same areas. I jig fish probably 80% and learned that having a really nice sensitive jigging (and tough) was key. I lose jigs but not nearly as many as I did when using ugly sticks and lightning rods 😅.

@letsgobrandontrump2024 4 года назад

Fly fishing rods and spinner reels make for the most sensitive of set ups

@Bjulian263 3 года назад

Brand new pb&j football head jig lost yesterday first cast 🤦🏼‍♂️

@j.t.cooper2963 3 года назад

@@bleach2856 If your water is full of trash and snags on the bottom, you'll lose them no matter what rod you are using. RF lives on Old Hickory lake. The name says it all about that lake.

I watched this video last night used your exact technique and black and blue with trailer. I reeled in a 4lber!! I'm new to bass fishing... started late spring early summer in Tx. Caught a few, but with the heat and not understanding how season effect and pre- post- and all that other jazz.. this was an Amazing rush! Thanks for the information tips and techniques also I wanted to give you a shout out and credit for the catch.

@blaineboutte5416 4 года назад

I see you throwing the football jig then see a worm hook down the fishes throat and I start thinking you were pulling a fast one on us and really throwing a texas rig. But nah on second watch I realized that some fisherman other fisherman cut his line off and just left the hook there likely thinking the hook will rust away like many uninformed people believe. As always great vid! P.S. just had to comment to feed the youtube algorithm..

@Flukemaster 4 года назад

LOL. Thanks Blaine. I am always glad when I catch a fish with someone else's hook in it. That way I can take it out of the fish. I wish more people knew how to remove a hook from the gut of a fish. I've tried several times to film it but it's very hard to get on camera.
