It’s nice to hear you say something positive about something or someone!!
Keep it up!!!
Agreed, hopefully the trend continues
He must have got the charmin double ply I recommended
When i saw the title i thought the co angler brought a graph and live scope transducer. Lol
Hey pal, you know that's gonna happen, for Real! What would you do?
@@jodyvess8509already is happening
Lmfao! Probably put the hammer down as well
Can't believe this guy said something decent about someone
As a co-angler, love the good co-anglers stories. Thanks for sharing Randy !
Randy, I just did this exact same thing last weekend. I cashed my 4th check in 4 events. Dragged a Carolina rig and a tube. And smashed lol. It's 100% possible to catch limits doing it
Absolutely when I start out fishing Texas and see the fish following it switch to the Carolina and it usually rips them after 20 years of doing it it's still rips
I’ve watched a lot of your videos here and there. Glad you finally didn’t say something bad. I think you are a really good guy that gets caught up in the bull sometimes. Would love to see some more fishing vids too, I know you are very knowledgeable. Good luck Randy
Love to hear the positives!
I used to catch plenty of fish from behind the boat when the old man and I fished together. Nothing better than catching more than the competition 😆
good for that kid listening and using his fishing knowledge he’s gonna have a great career with his attitude as long as he has good pros like you driving the boat
you should do an advanced video on co angling etiquette from your perspective that would be really cool
That kid does alright in the front running his own boat too!!
Awesome to see another story randy
It's good to hear good news. That was cool the way you coached him & are happy for him.
Great example thanks for sharing
I’m glad you found a co-angler who listened and understand and did well
Excellent advice, of course I learned the hard way, and GO DRURY!
Hi Randy! I agree, I have had many good days dragging a Carolina rig with a floating worm behind the boat and catching plenty of good fish. Thanks!
Love these type of vids RB.........good stuff
I can't wait for a Co to show up with the portable scope. Its coming!!!
Very well said!
Co anglers behind scopers should do the same thing. "Go with the flow" "making the best of their opportunity "
Nice you are awesome Randy
Great message and positivity. The few times I've fished with tournament guys I just try to be a listening sponge. Take in the information that's been given, visually survey how I can best place my casts in the zone and work with what is available. We've fished 3 guys and a guide out of a 19 foot boat, 3 guys in a 14 foot Jon boat on the river and work it like you've laid out. The river guide buddy has been taking us out for almost 30 years and he does fine in the back seat most every time. We are more interested in his presentation than who's fishing what water. Kid is years ahead on maturity
Such an awesome point about the angle of the cast. I fish with two buddies recreationally. Two of us basically alternate cast up front and the third casts off the back. It’s remarkable how many fish get picked up from the back. You’re getting the same angle to the bank from the opposite direction. I find that you often get a slightly longer cast and retrieve because the boat is moving in the other direction. Grats to your co-angler. Imagine how board he’d have been watching you stare at a graph all day. lol
Good story!
You're exactly right, I fish with a buddy and he's usually the one up front. He's a better fisherman than me, but I do fine out the back of the boat. Never felt I'm at a disadvantage being in the back.
I really enjoyed hearing the tips of what makes a good co-angler. As I am a co-angler on my friends boat in our local tournaments I would love to hear more suggestions on what makes a. Better co-angler
I miss being a coangler when I was a young man in the military. Learned a ton and had great experiences.
Glad to here that
As a new bass fisherman with less than a year of doing it I’ve yet to fish from a boat or in a tournament. It would be fantastic to fish from the back of a bass boat and try that as a challenge. I’ve also picked up on the fact that bass seem to like when baits/cadence/cover are just a little different than normal. I’d like to think they know when a boat has just gone by in shallow water and are likely not expecting lures to be trailing behind.
If I was a Co, I would have loved fishing like that. The angle is most important and to have that would of been awesome.
Randy, this is another one of your videos that I agree with you on. I have fished has a co and if the pro would say what you did about turning the boat around to give me a chance to get my bait back, I would agree with and do what you said every time. The biggest problem I have seen is that some pro don't even want to give the co a chance to get their bait back when they are casting in the same direction towards the front of the boat. One guy I fish with said he would do a drive by. Which consisted of, putting the trolling motor on hi and driving by where I was hung up and would not even slow down to give get me a chance to reel down to the bait and push it off whatever it was hung on. However if pro's and co's could work like you and your co did during this tournament I would agree with you that the co would do much better by casting behind the boat getting the same attack angle but from a different direction. This all starts with good communication or conversation between the pro & co and if the pro is worried the his co is staying with someone and might talk the night before the tournament starts. The pro can tell the co to expect to be fishing a few different ways and then in the morning before take off they can have the conversation like what you had. It would make the day better for all.
Sir Randall great news
This is a great story. Thank you for sharing.
I fish mostly team tournaments and your absolutely right I can just as many bites in the back as the front . To be honest at times it’s easier not being in the trolling motor all the time especially in windy conditions you have more time look at targets and angles etc because your only focus is on fishing not boat position etc. keep up the good fight Randy on FFS
That’s awesome that how I would do it. Just grind it out and have fun wherever the pro puts you
A guy I went to school with won that tourney on the boater side. Congrats Kyle!
Decades ago, I was a co on Mead and picked up fish in spots the pro was just in and got nothing. We moved along a line of reeds but I was fishing my half of the boat and behind. He couldn’t believe it. At the awards, he complimented me on being a “good stick.”
I’m always in the back and nothing makes me happier than when I out fish my bud in the front catching fish in the water he already hit. Makes for good fun
I won a 2 day state championship from the back of the boat. You have to approach the day differently than if you were on the trolling motor.
Good message. I remember growing up with my dad in the front of the boat and always feeling like I was fishing every spot after he had fished it. Now I'm (inadvertently) doing the same thing to my son. If you haven't already done this, I'd love to hear a little more about how the person in the back can make the most of their spot so I can help my son out, cause he feels the same way I did.
I'm backwards. I fish with my son on the back of his boat (he's 30 lol). I try to keep 1 eye on where he's casting so I hit spots he didn't. Also, he'll leave a good looking spot and say "cast by that rock" or "throw by that stump".
on murray long time ago I was a co angler and hank Parker I got as my pro funny part when I got to his boat he says where is your stuff "" I said all I need is this note pad he laughed ""
all day I just took notes and at the end of that day he told me your was the best I ever had in my boat..
listen as Co and you get a pro like that it's best to take notes than worry about fishing
I do the exact same thing and do as good as my brother does and sometimes do better than he does and we most likely do good in our tournaments amen Randy
I never use or have used a net when Bassn'... I though that they were illegal in B.A.S.S.tourney's?.. Well, back in the day at least I do believe landing nets were illegal. I've seen a lot of fish get away when using a net. I guess I'm just old skool, plus I just never liked nets being on my Bass rig, they just clutter up the deck or storage to me, but I'm not against them. However, I do use a hand held 'Lip Gripper' if I'm thrown' crank-baits or any bait with treble hooks, like a Zara Spook.
I'm glad that you had a great co-angler in your tourney!
Thanks Rando!
FISH=ON!!!
Great advice. --- and - you can back up a boat like a boss (inside joke) lol
It makes sense to try and cover more water, that to compete for the same space.
Hi Randy. So I use your tackle warehouse link all the time and when I clicked on it this time I couldn't believe the first thing that came up was HDS16 with active target2. Kinda crazy.. I know this is beyond your control just ironic to see. any way love the vids keep up the good work . take care. M
I agree to a point....Randy. If you fishing tight with crankbaits with no room then yes the back of the boat is the area....not easy depending on your speed using the trolling motor. I will say that I would have casted off to your back side to the front for deeper water. Your not covering it and its wasted water...otherwise were cool....lol. Now when I catch a 5lb you'll turn back give me a look.....then you cast out in deeper water....then I cast to the dock....lol.....ARE WE COOL?😀
Randy, Whose Silver Star is hanging in the background of your videos. By the way nice videos.
I had a co angler tell me, I fish what's in front of me. If he had to fish behind the boat, he was happy bc that's what was available to him and what was available. Great attitude.
Having done what you prescribe, using a deep diving crank bait, has worked very well for me...
Finally positive! 👍👍
Maybe they should come out with a backward facing sonar unit for the co-anglers.
do you actually point the front of the boat parallel to the bank so the co can cast out the back and actually be in water less than 30' deep or do you keep the boat 90 degrees to the bank so that you can cast both left and right and leave them casting out into the abyss off the back?
I’m always fishing from the back of the boat. I prefer to fish behind the boat. But more than once I was told by the boater to fish forward he didn’t like going backwards to get my lure when hung up.
And most times they won’t let you get it. It’s the selfish narcissistic attitude and all about the man in front.
Nice story
Love the content . 1 question . What do you do when you draw a boater that stands on the trollingmotor on high and says if you get hung up I'm not stopping? What do I do with that guy ?
Re-Tie...🙃
@@johnquinlan6114 I just save my entry fee and fish with my son
Hes in your trolling motor prop wash and still fishing for scraps
2 of my biggest fish have come off this exact method, back of the boat🤫😅
Rick Clunn did a video years ago on how to have success from the back of the boat and he said the exact same thing
It works great with a crankbait if the boater will help to get lure back if it gets hung. If it's a 50 dollar wiggle wart I would atleast have a shot to get it back. It works great with everything except a buzzbait. My buzzbaits seam to track left so if that's the case I'll tend to tie up a whopper plopper to be able to keep it in the strike zone
As long as the banks drop quickly you can catch em but if it’s shallow way out the coangler is screwed
What kind of presentation/baits was he using?
You need to look into fishing the ABA Pro 150Series. No Co-anglers. But if you sign up for a Boat/Co Tournament. You know what you are getting into. I enjoy my CO’s far more than not.
And off the back relize you need to reel a little slower. You have the speed of the boat to compensate for
Randy this is almost a positive video …almost.
Randy, if I drew you as a co-angler, I would have no problem fishing behind the boat, but I’m permanently bewildered why any boater cares about the center line issue if the co-angler is respectful. If I’m casting at 45 degrees in front of the boat, then the co-angler can cast forward at the same angle and never be in my way. I’ve done this with my co-anglers dozens of times and never had a problem. But you’re not wrong about fishing behind the boat. If I was your co-angler, I wouldn’t ever mention getting hung up. I’d just break it off. Not going to tie on my Megabass square bills as a coangler.
How many pros would turn around and help you retrieve your lure if you get hung-up? By assuring him of your intentions, I'm sure it put him at ease.
Take note for team derbies as well
So many times I’ve seen fish and when the boat goes over the fish they swim off, but they don’t leave they just do a big circle and go right back to the same spot. I love fishing straight back. Great video!
If you have ever fished two-man teams, they work as team and not against each other, the back of the boat needs to be a closer to the area you're fishing, and many times can win from the back of the boat as a team, I loved not having to deal with the trolling motor at the front.
I agree, Randy. I say if you want to cast in front of the boat, get your own damn boat.
The only thing I’d say about that is if your fishing something on the bottom you might get snagged a lot?
Two thumbs up in one day for a Randy Video???? What's going on? Keep the Good Vibes going!!!!
I've fished quite a lot as a no-boater (co-angler) when I first started out back in the 80's and it's ALWAYS the boaters' rules. In my 40+ yrs. I've never have been told to fish "backwards"(?). I've been asked NOT to fish that way, but??? Also, you didn't tell us what you were using for bait. You did mention that you were fishing in 2' to 4' of water and at this time of year I'm guessing a crank bait or top water. either way I'm surprised your co-angler caught anything at all! Sounds to me that the young man that had to fish with you is one heck of a stick!
This proves that all co anglers are not bad, like so many so xalled pros preach.
Randy if i use ur link does the discount work on live scope
I bet he will take the money. lol
🤙🎣✌️
Won a club tournament from the back of the boat. Shocked everyone.
I fish as co and it's 100% about the boater and his ideas. I'm along for the ride and feel privileged to be out there. The only problem I ever have seen not particularly myself but some boaters get mad if a co catches fish behind the boater then get accused of catching the boaters fish. If the co do not throw in front of the boater and catches fish the way he is supposed too and does well some boaters get their pride hurt. I never understood that.i have never had that problem or atleast never heard a complaint. I have heard complaints in the weigh in line though and on youtube. I myself go above and beyond to give extra gas money and tell the boater at the start that I'm along for the ride and it's all about the boater and if I do well great but I won't intentionally do anything to hinder the boater but I make sure I tell the boater hey if I do something you don't like be sure you bring it to my attention because it's the last thing I would do intentionally. I think that does wonders as for breaking the ice and making the boater relax and know he don't have to worry about me. I also believe giving about $60 minimum up to $80, for gas before the start of the tournament does wonders for having a good day with your boater. Some of those boaters are struggling to pay fees and gas. It's unbelievably expensive so the least you can do as a coangler is help out financially and let them know you are going to be easy to get along with. If you don't see it the way I do then you might want to go finance a boat and become a boater then I bet you will realize quickly just how expensive just fishing the BFL is, not to mention the more elite tournaments. As a co yes try your best but the boater in in charge and adapt to what he decides to do. If you draw a boater that doesn't do what you think he should well get over it you are just along for the ride and you knew that when you entered the tournament as a coangler.
Randy thanks for this video. I just started fishing 2 years ago. Got in an all womens club that says they are a teaching club. However I have only learned 1 thing from all the boaters ive been matched with. The off the water education is BITCH, BITCH BITCH. Im really consider quitting after this year. Im happy to hear that you gave good advice to you co angler. And it paid off for him.
My partner and I have fished together for 35 years or more, and we both destroy the fish from the back of the boat a lot .
Bummer you weren’t able to net that fish
When I hear my partner say get the bet I move immediately to get his fish I will lean as far as possible to net that fish I co angler is an equal partner when he is on my biat
When i had a boat, u never knew what u would get. It was mostly a 50/50 split.
Now i no longer have a bass boat. Just multiple reservoir rowboats. When i get on somebody elses boat, i ask them. if we are talking or not? Just to pit it out there. I prefer some kind of communication but not unnecessarily. You gotta feel out your boater and apply common sense and respect. With that said, if you are good with your stick, you can do fine on the back of a boat. Ive won lunker 5 times off the back of someone else’s boat. I fish weekly, but not for a livin.
👍
The title of the video should be..... you're never going to believe what I'm about to do. " Say something nice about a young angler."
+1
I fish alone and suck most of the time, now I'm gonna fish from the back.
The good thing is that co-anglers at the back of the boat can't use FFS or Livescope! HAHAHA😉
There is an angler out here ( west) that actually does have a homemade ffs system he sets up. Scary...
@@rdancranston good gawd… and he fishes as a co-angler?
Yea well his man fame is he is an excellent kayak fisherman. I'm not knocking him at all, just saying I watched a video where he had built a FFS system made of PVC and other components that I believe took him about 3 or 4 minutes to.set it up.from the back of the boat and fished. It may have even been a tournament but can't remember for sure. Kits on RUclips somewhere. I'm sure if more co anglers catch on they'll be rules made up about it...I'm sure... Do you think they would?..
If they don’t believe this technique works just watch an episode or two of ultimate match fishing a lot of times the guys in the back of the boat end up winning or leading
Yep if the bass won't hit your crank he will likely hit the CO's worm as long as you are not going to fast with the tm.
Tenn Tom open had a boater Shane Meers I believe didn’t want me casting to the other side of the creek towards the back of the boat because he was gonna fish it…..before this he stops and haggles over fishing area in the the creek with Jeremy Starks then fishes to the back of creek turns around Starks was right there he flips his lid making promises of what he was going to do to him when he sees him and even made comments about going to the bank right there I never said a word the whole time but if they went to the bank I was going to kick both their asses I was in third place lol 😢
I cannot believe there is anyone that would want to be a co-angler with the use of forward facing sonar.
If it was a free entry with a huge payout, I would do it in a heartbeat!
@@Unspoke Except that there's almost no "free entry" tournaments.
Just goes to show the fish dont care about which end of the boat the bait is coming from.
So the net man cost this kid a win??
And fish the water l have already fished
I do that to many guys and still beat em at the trade. You can't outfish me!
You saying you can catch fish without electronics???
SOUNDS LIKE A BIG STORY!!!!
Did they change the rules that you cant cast past 1/2 point of the boat??? I see it differantly 1/4 angle could be 10 deep with grass rock??? Not near the trolling motor....thats it rookie...lol
Guys dont really realize the ADVANTAGE someone can have in the back of the boat. The options available to you are simply amazing. If the pro angler shuts off the graph in the back then hes a dick sorry, and maybe Randy you could elaborate on this behaviour. But I will affirm what Randy is getting at here . Being in the back a powerful place to catch some giants. Just gotta put your head into this and use the space you have to your advantage...... Anyone ever just drag a jerk bait ? anyone even long line a finesse jig ? anyone ever notice how many fish thes guys leave behind ? especially in Randys case ( cause he hates forward scan AHAHAHAHA ) but you get my point. This position can wield some giants if you focus in and fish outside your comfort zone. you may learn a thing or two
I called MLF because I thought you couldn’t cast past midline of the boat.Well there’s no rule saying you can’t!With that being said I always try to position boat where we both can fish.If I can’t do it I tell them let me fish it 1st then I’ll give you a few minutes after what I was casting at.
If I drew Randy as a co angler I would buy some crappy water proof camera. Then put in the water all day and say I see one and cast. Do you think Randy would lose his mind? Lol
Take note of this..generally if you draw randy as your boater your going to have a miserable time
Take note of this...if you draw near to God, he will draw near to you.
Well 3 years ago I'd set my alarm to get up and watch it . Then it got like a pod cast the announcers would tell stories while you watch guy drive around looking down not saying much . Lost interest so quit watching I think they had a great thing going Roland, Hank shaw Garry Larry Bill Jimmy those guys made it what it was nobody cherished what it was what they had it turned into greed and profits money 💰 🤑 💸 killed it that and greed anglers looking to make more with less everything but ....they had it all just like Nascar but ruined it now .
