I love how the first bass was caught on camera. It clearly didn't expect to get whisked away to Narnia just from biting the Helgrammite!

Smallmouth intentionally swim into the current to their advantage on purpose wasn’t an accident

@NickAndCaroline 11 месяцев назад

He did get whisked away haha. Wheee!

@NickAndCaroline 11 месяцев назад

@@Hshshdfb I don’t think fish know to use the current as an advantage, they are just seeking cover/fleeing. They can seem smart, but don’t give them too much credit haha. They definitely don’t know that they are fighting an angler. There are exceptions of course, for example at a KOA campground there was a pond that was catch and release. They basically only eat hot dogs, and they hardly fight because they just go back into the water and wait for their next hot dog 😂😂😂 hahaha.

This is one of the best examples of how smallies behave on beds on YT. Excellent editing skills, great filmwork, and even better commentary. Great content and keep up the amazing work!

@GoldwingGary1 11 месяцев назад

I think the smallies are showing excellent life skills on their beds, as far as should it sacrifice itself for it's youth or simply because they are hungry.,

Never... ever... get tired of watching your videos, mate. I know it's been said many times, but it's so true; you are the Bob Ross of fishing...! Peaceful, relaxing, and just a joy to watch. First time I've seen the GoPro strike footage too, and that's an outstanding twist to already great videos. LOVE IT...!

@alexrawleigh3167 11 месяцев назад

Reminds me of the old bass professor....Doug Hannon. He use to have outstanding under water footage of bass. Excellant video coverage. Outstanding. Really shows fish behavior and how they set up on a bait.

@ja001son 11 месяцев назад

This is great! I love the underwater shots! It really shows the almost depressing amount of times you ALMOST get a bite. I do some scuba diving in a local lake (Stillhouse hollow, Texas) its a very clear lake and the dive shop is right at the marina/restaurant so there are always folks fishing. I cant calculate how many times I've see bass travel 10+ feet charging at a lure and then stop at the last second like "nah" Its what got me into adding scents to my lures, the sheer number of times a fish almost commits and then doesn't, I figure it might help.

@bubdolla 11 месяцев назад

Getting the eat on GoPro is freaking awesome!!! It’s what every fisherman wants to see is how fish react and eat stuff… when smallies are on their beds you can almost see their facial expressions change like they actually got pissed and ate whatever intruded on their spawn bed

@Lilith-Rose 11 месяцев назад

That underwater view is awesome to watch, the way the lure is rigged and weighted really makes it look like its rooting around trying to eat the eggs especially when you give it a little twitch and that shows why it works so well for this. Bed fishing isnt something we generally get to do over here because most rivers have a closed season for spawning so no fishing allowed but its still very interesting to watch

@Lilith-Rose 11 месяцев назад

That was actually a fly larvae that was an actual threat to the eggs, you can see it crawling off after the fish dropped it

@os4hwks384 9 месяцев назад

Done lots of smallie fishing on West Lake Okoboji! Noticed on 1st fish same thing as many fish we caught on beds in the past! Once you tossed that bait into the clean gravel of bed it was game on! When the hellgramite was off side in the dirtier gravel it wasn't that interested! I found that most bedding fish have an area of the bed they don't like things in; just need to read reaction of the fish! Love your smallie fishing content; keep up the great work!

@stevemapel1196 11 месяцев назад

Lawd, Matt. This video was incredible. It's the first time I've seen you use the underwater GoPro. Your accuracy was mindblowing, so consistent. Your persistence paid off. This video really shows how the fish don't normally bite the first cast(s), and you have to keep casting to tick 'em off enough to bite the "intruder". The nature sounds in the background and your commentary perfectly synced with the underwater action iced the cake. Perfect bed-fishing video. Thanks, man.

@damondeaton1757 11 месяцев назад

Really interesting to me how the last bass kept observing your lure. It’s clear he is using only one eye just checking it out and studying. I saw only look directly at your helgamite once but really just kept in his vision mostly. It’s as if he was more curious than anything. Seems like he took the bait just to see what would happen almost. Thanks for sharing.
