What Did I Do Wrong To Lose This Spinnerbait Bass?

- I’m determined to add spinnerbaits to my arsenal of techniques this year, by my first time catching fish on a spinnerbait this season and I lost an important fish. Is there something obvious I did wrong on the hook-set or retrieve? If there is a certain thing I should be doing with spinnerbaits I need to learn that from the start!
It is all in the learning part 0f fishing .I've been at it for sixty plus years and I'm still learn things about fishing!
Soooo much to learn! I'm finding that sometimes my facebook/youtube fishing family is really good at speeding up the process by sharing their experience which I really appreciate!
I throw a spinnerbait a lot (see any of my videos lol ) when I lose fish, it’s when they jump. If I feel the fish start to rise I stuff the rod down or change the angle. This can help. I also wait to set the hook so they get the whole bait in their mouth, it’s a hard lure for them to throw if they actually bite it. Most the time when you lose one, it’s just in the lip skin
You are a farther north than I am, how does a spinnerbait work on those awesome grassy lakes up north in Ohio? I'm excited to try it on East Harbor and Mosquito later this summer!
@@GirlGoneFishing I can't catch crap with spinners at East Harbor. Seems black/blue jigs dragging them through the grass. Others do good brownish green bladed jigs. Black/blue wacky before the the weeds get bad near the kayak ramp by the birding trail. Hooked a nice one on a KVD sexy frog white, came off halfway to the kayak. But I burnt too much time in the lilly pads shallow area.
The big one are in the middle 6-8ft grass area. Gotta jig them out. I'm not a expert but been the twice this month. Last weekend it was pretty grassy. I said screw this and went on a Tibbels walleye charter next day and limited out 😂
Reference the lost spinner bait fish - the hook set looked good and it looks like you maintained tension - the only thing that might’ve saved it is to go rod tip down into the water to prevent it from jumping as it gets closer to the boat 👍🏼
Thank you! I really want to add the spinnerbait to my arsenal of techniques so I need to learn it correctly from the start! :)
Getting them to bite is one thing landing them is another. But sometimes it just doesn't work out at the end. Just happens. Use the equipment you got confidence in. You'll know by experience when to change.
I use spinner baits constantly love them a few years back I was having trouble with Bass spitting the hook-on spinner baits what I did to help solve that problem was changed the angle of the rod on the retrieve lower to the water surface and constant tension and crank it in as fast as you can, don't play the fish no pauses on the retrieve if you lose tension or pause during the retrieve the fish will feel the line slack and he is going to jump almost every time hope this helps love the videos keep them coming.
So just horse it back and no messing around! That is the same conclusion I came to learning to fish a chatterbait 2 years ago when I was losing them on the jump... set that hook and reel like crazy! Thanks!
@@GirlGoneFishing Absolutely 💯
That always hurts that part of fishing 🎣 and not called catching better luck on next one
Thanks!
Don’t think anything was wrong it just happens! In tournaments if I’m not around a lot of wood I’ll add a trailer hook. Has helped me a few times before.
Never used a trailer hook before, I'll look into that! Thanks!
@@GirlGoneFishing no problem! I specifically use the Gamakatsu G-Power stingers but a lot of brands make good ones.
Everyone loses fish, even the pros. It is never easy to handle. I am a huge spinnerbait fisherman and if I cash a check at a tourny it is usually spinnerbait fishing. I have found out buying a manual hook sharpener and sharpen my spinnerbaits right out of the box and my losing spinnerbait fish is a rare event. Sometimes the fish WINS!!!
Good advice, thanks!
Your hook point should catch on your nail or it's not sharp enough (my opinion). Go with 14/17 pound test minimum and a rod rated for those test, or you'll get excessive stretch in the hook set. Weakening the set. After fish hooked, keep rod handle at 30-45 degrees for max pressure, bend, but still giving rod some recovery flex. Past that, it's fishing not catching. Nice performance for this derby. Do love a spinner bait bite! All the best.
Great advice, thanks!
I have accepted the fact that at times they will throw the hook, I just hate that laugh when they swim away
🤣 I knew I heard that little slime-face mocking me!
I didn't see that you did anything wrong. That silly LMB just didn't eat it very good.
Oh I like it, blame the fish! 🤣
You did nothing wrong - it happens. Word of advice from wathing the video: When you set the hook, you pulled that rod tip behind you meaning you had too much line out. As soon as you cast, take the slack out promptly and keep the tip closest to the fish but with about 30° angle.
Interesting, I will pay attention to that when I'm out next! Thanks!
I've lost them on those because the fish probably only grabbed the end.🤷♀️
Dang those tail-nipping fish! 🤣
Sometimes they just don't want to be caught.
And that is what makes fishing so addictive! Man, that sounds pretty twisted. 🤣
@@GirlGoneFishing that fish was just camera shy. Haha
Didn't look like you did anything wrong that I could see. As long as you kept the line tight you would have been fine. It happens.
Thanks!
Likely did nothing wrong...Fish will get off every now & then...BY THE WAY, just a couple years ago...i mentioned "you need to try a spinnerbait"...your response was something like "i just can't get into the spinnerbait technique" i do believe the last few videos a spinnerbait was being tossed around 😂 SMART....1st bass bait i ever used & is the most versatile lure out there...can be fished top to bottom...keep on tossin' them! 👍
Hahahaha yeah, one of my failings is when I am not good at something I tend to either completely embrace it and almost obsessively try to get good at it, or I pretend like it doesn't exist. 🤣 For my first few years this was all so overwhelming that when I was out on the water my brain was mostly in a constant state of panic that I couldn't even think straight. Now that it is all becoming less unfamiliar I am starting to be able to handle new stuff... plus my expectations keep going up so my "quiver of arrows" as far as techniques go has to grow or I won't ever get my first fishing trophy! Thanks for sticking with me all this time! :)
Need trailer hook it’s just the nature
Ugh sounds like something else to get hung up!
Sometimes they just come off...🤔
Unacceptable fish behavior! 🤣
You didn't do anything wrong that i could see. Just happens sometimes.
When I am fishing in contention to win the national championship (goals), I need to know that I know how to get these fish in the boat!
What brand of spinner? Berkley?
That was a Northland Reed Runner
@@GirlGoneFishing Ok, I was losing fish on those Berkley Fusion hooks last year.
Switch the out with 6th sense for my Yamamoto Yamatanuki. VMC for wacky is pretty good also. Yamamoto senko black/blue wacky and Blue Rock 1099 jigs black/blue is the only things that I can the bass to hit at East Harbor. The kayak was covered in fn grass 😂
