A wise man once said, "if you can't explain your subject to a 1st grader in a way he can understand it, you don't know your subject well enough." You just explained this to a 1st grader and I get it, lol. Great job! Keep it up.
I’m not sure what you are going to do with you life, but this sure seems to be you calling, you have an amazing talent for describing and talking about fishing, and your passion for the sport shows thru, I think you’ve stumbled upon your future, keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words! I really enjoy making these videos and I'm glad y'all like them!
@@FishtheMoment seriously dude. i havent found a video yet that describe this stuff as good as u.. 10/10
Your a good man Charlie Brown
Awsome job explaining the humminbird. I watched this video just to confirm what I thought i already knew. Great job, ill be sharing this video to beginners as you really took time to explain what was being shown on the screen. Tight lines
You explain how to use a fish finder very well, I know nothing about fish finders but I’m learning by watching your videos. Thank you so much.
I'm a salt life kind of guy but the way you explain in detail got me subscribed to you channel. Kind of itching to go test out what you taught on lake Conroe here in Texas. I can also take back what you taught to my salty roots. Thanks brother. You have a true calling.
Absolutely the BEST vid explaining fish finder imaging - the added text and graphics really made it all make sense. Thanks!
Your ability to communicate is incredible!!!!!! Obviously very bright and extremely interesting!!
this is a seriously underrated video, thank you for sharing this, i did not know how to read these electronics at all before watching this and you explained it in a way that i could easily understand, thank you
I usually don't re-comment when there are so many comments already that I agree with, but this was just an excellent video, something I've been looking for and your delivery was awesome. You really have a talent.
For a guy new to these newer electronics this is a great video to guide to explain what different things look like. Appreciate keeping basic
Man i dont know how u dont have more subs you are the most instructiinal channel to have ever watched. I have learned more off a couple of ur vids than i have all the other channels combined
I'm glad the videos are helpful! Thanks for the comment
Total Agree!!!
the best video I had ever seen in all my life and I am 64 years old. Thank you to share this with us. God bless you.....
that was the best display of what to look for and use of your electronics by far.....i'll keep watching
Thank you!
Your love for fishing, and ability to explain things are unmatched. There’s a lot of money to be made through RUclips. You may have very well found your calling. Your channel has so much potential. This is by far the best fishing channel on RUclips. No question.
Thank you for the kind words! It's great to share my passion for fishing with y'all!
I’m in school as well, so I completely understand how valuable time can be. We’re all happy you put so much time and effort into your videos.
I’m actually heading to Lake Okeechobee for the week to fish. This is my last big trip of the winter break. Can’t wait. Should be on the water tomorrow.
Awesome! That's definitely a lake on my bucket list. Let me know how it goes!
The trip went well. We were able to fish for 3 days. Definitely a different style of fishing than I am used to. My biggest was just under 4 lbs.Not huge, but a respectable fish. They had a massive cold front that came through a few days prior and the water temps dropped into the low 60’s. Apparently that’s pretty cold for that area. I will definitely be better prepared with some heavier gear when I go back. Either way I got a nice tan to go back to school next week.
He has an easy way of explaining everything.
These videos are helping me learn so much about reading graphs. I just ordered a garmin striker vivid 7sv for my kayak. By the time I'm done watching you're videos I won't even have to read the manual 👍
best channel on youtube for bass fishermen, hands down. you do an extremely great job communicating what you are presenting not only by easy to understand explanation, but by also combining it with computer graphics and animation. so many times ive listened to anglers present information that i cannot understand what they are trying to get across, but not with this channel. the info you present hits its mark, everytime. thank you.
Thanks, Robert! I'm glad you enjoy the content and it's easy to understand. I really appreciate the feedback!
One of the most descriptive videos I have seen about using the modern sonar/fish finder. Thx
I recently bought a new GPS and was looking to learn about down image. After watching and learning for 10 minutes I started to get butterflies thinking about going fishing and using these techniques. Great video.
This video was so helpful for me. I’ve watched dozens of videos on reading graphs, specifically humminbird and never came away feeling like I learned anything. After finding fish on my graph I always struggled knowing exactly where I needed to cast, especially with SI. You have done an outstanding job of explaining that along with several other things. Thank You
U are the first person I have found to go over everything like this! Thank you it is awesome. I’m just starting to learn to use my hummingbird, I always have just casted and if I coughs fish I caught fish. Now it’s a learning curve and this has explained a ton for me
I'm very new to the Helix 9 or and fish finder. Young man you do an outstanding job of teaching and you are very well articulate on your presentation. Where most videos to do with this subject are vague and or outrageous yours have a professional quality to them. Thank you for the tons of info just in the few minutes you teach. If your not a teacher or instructor you sure do possess the qualities.
Great tutorial. Best explanation of reading fish finders on you tube.
Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed
We are in total agreement!. Well Done Fish The Moment!

I'm not a bass fisherman yet. Grew up with lake fishing from the shore or dock. Love catching bass. But for me this is future knowledge that is incredible to have. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. I should probably add that I didn't fish for a number of years for a variety of different reasons. But like I said, great knowledge to have. Especially since I enjoy fishing for all fish.
This video was a huge help for those of us who don't have a boat yet but fish with others so we can understand more of what we are looking at since we don't get to go out and play with units.
Awesome! Glad it's helpful! Thanks for the comment
This was incredibly helpful. Last year was my first year with sonar on my yak...it was like deciphering hieroglyphics lol. Thank you for the quality upload, I know how much work went into this!
I really appreciate the axiomatic stuff that you share (humps generally = hard bottom, bluegill beds should be marked and targeted all summer long..). There's so much to know and remember in our sport - it's certainly helpful to have some solid rules of thumb. Please do keep sharing yours!
Man I have only had my boat for about six months and am just trying to get more familiar with electronics and this video was absolutely so helpful keep doing what your doing!!!
Best electronics video I've ever watched.! Humminbird should hire you to conduct seminars and make videos.
much easier to follow than the Humminbird manual - thanks for a really clear and informative video
Every time I watch this video I learn more and more. Thank you Jonny
I have watched literally over a hundred videos on this topic .... you have explained things more thorough and ten fold better than any manufacturer, sponsored pros, advertisements, sales reps, etc! Awesome job fellow angler .... I have already subscribed and I will share the knowledge as well. great job!
Thank you! I'm glad the video was useful!
Probably the best video ever done on electronics, hands down you killed it!! Please do more!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
One of the best how-to videos on reading electronics that I have ever seen. I have two Lowrance units but the similarities and settings are applicable. We appreciate the excellent instruction and great production in these videos! Thanks Jonny!
Thanks again, David. I'm glad the tips transfer over well to Lowrance units
Just purchased two hummingbird helix 9 and spent hours on different videos for the past month and yours by far is the easiest and most helpful video I have found!!! Ready for my lakes to be thawed so I can start graphing !
Thank you after three years of using my sonar and watching confusing videos I finally have a decent understanding :-)
This is the best "how to" video for fishing electronics I have ever seen. Thank you for your time and effort to help teach others. Humminbird should be sponsoring you or your channel for this. Excellent!
Man I watched so many videos on ‘how to read your fish finder’ and none of them really explained what’s going on to someone like me who is a novice. Thanks so much for taking the time to think about how to explain this. It’s been a huge help.
This is the best video on fish finders. I have been researching all winter and I'm truly impressed. Thank you so much. I was starting to think i didn't need side scam but now i know i need it.
Best video on explaining how to read your fish finder I have found. Nice job!
Best fish finder video ever! I NEVER leave comments, but I set up an ID, password, and logged in just to comment on this video. Very well presented. Thank you.
one of the best videos i have seen on fish finders
You blew my steryiotypes out of the water in about 30 seconds. VERY informative. I am considering a fishfinder and wasn't sure what the point of side scan was. After 10 videos and getting nowhere, you answered all literally all of my questions. Good pace, low-level on the music, and no pointless pauses/rants either. Excellent job on all accounts. I have subscribed
Best video I've ever seen for using a sonar.
I thought I knew my electronics, but I picked up some tips from your video that I didn't know! Videos are very easy to understand! Thx!
Awesome job explaining the down scan / side scan to a novice who understood what you were talking about. I agree with Mo Basser that you have a talent for relaying information to novices in a clean, understandable manner without being to technical. This video was well worth watching...Thanks
One of the best vids out there that teaches how to use and READ a fish finder. Great job! Wish I could like 100 times!
Thanks again, Ryan! I appreciate the support
I can't even begin to explain how helpful this was. You have a true nack for this stuff my friend. I hope this is your everyday career
Holy smallmouth,
Young man hummingbird needs to hire u to do seminars,i looked thru 20 videos to get the explanations u covered in 20 mins.GREAT WORK.
I predict that this video will never in its lifetime have a thumbs down. You did a fantastic job on this. It is exactly what I've been trying to find. No one ever gives the complete explanation like you have. Thank you so much for this. BTW. You did an excellent job of your analysis of Lake Arthur the other night. You totally nailed it. It takes innate skill my friend and you have it. Some day you're gonna fish Lake Arthur with me. lol
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for the suggestion for the live stream. I'm glad I did the lake justice!
It has 48 thumbs down! 🤨. Must be from fishing elitists that don't want this out. I've known a few like this.
Lake arthur Pennsylvania?
@@pittsburghangler Yes, you got it. It was a privilege to have my "home lake" be one of the first to be reviewed. Do you fish there?
@@0017Bulldog ya literally probably 80 days a year between open water and ice fishing. Which video was it that he broke down?
Wow, dude that was a great explanation on how to read a fish finder. Coming across debris or other structures with my finder I’ve understood that said debris was there, but I never knew how to read and understand it. Thank you for this video.
You sent me a message saying to check out your RUclips channel a very long time ago on Instagram and I’m so glad I did. This is easily the best video I have ever seen describing how to use a graph. Keep up the good work!
Dude I can only say one thing...You ARE the man! 👏🏻
Absolutely a the greatest tutorial on u-tube. Keep up the great work. You're a natural... Hank....
The best sonar video I've ever seen. Great job. Very informative
I know it was cold, but thank you so much for explaining all of this. Just retired, ordered a boat, and will be getting into the sport. You did a much better job then the last 20 videos I watched for actually explaining what the hecht it is I'm looking at. I get it now. Great job and thanks again for taking the time to make this video.
Very informative thanks for not speeding thru the small details. Great images to view while explaining
Nobody describes this stuff better than you keep up the great vids!
I'll say it again. You are the best youtuber in the fishing industry. Totally professional instructor. Thanks so much for your videos.
Just bought a Garmin Echomap plus 92sw bundled with a GT52 transducer, which I'm about to set up on my 13 ft jon boat (also new). I have fished all my life, but I'm a complete and utter novice when it comes to fishfinders, and I rarely fish from a boat. Now I feel a bit more confident, having watched a few of your videos. Thank you!
Wow, this was the best explanation of electronics I have found. Thank you very much Jonny! Please em coming...
No problem! Thanks for the support as always!
This video is hands down an excellent tutorial on electronics. It is not brand specific, and very educational.Thank you very much!
This is a great video. Very helpful to me. I just bought a Lowrance Hook2 5 with Tripleshot. This will be my first fishfinder, using it on my Jackson Big Tuna kayak. I can't get wait to get it on the water in East Tennessee and learn how to use it. Thank you for the great instructions and tips!!!! Very good job!!
Dude keep up the good work YOURE MY FAVORITE RUclipsR for fishing electronics. You really make it simple, something no one seems to be able to do.
I got a garmin echomap 2 years ago and I've been trying to figure it out everyone on RUclips explaining it like X-Z÷5×N=
THANK YOU
I just noticed for the first time that side imaging the left and right images , if you stitch them together at the bottom of the water column , you see the exact same thing on each edge, The same piece of wood on each side. Makes it so much easier to visualize now. Thanks.
Great video, you did an awesome job of explaining electronics, I learned more from this than the dozens of videos I have watched. Thanks
This is one of the clearest explained video on using your electronics and i’ve seen a lot of them, you have a gift for teaching these things. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful
I just got a DownScan Lowrance and I have to say this was the most informative video I’ve watch out of about 15 so far. Thank you for going into so much detail.
You make hands down the best electronics videos on RUclips. And your way of explaining things is incredible. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos
Great video. I think electronics is one area that videos most benefit us as fishermen. You can lean so much about reading your electronics from videos....and yours was AWESOME. Makes me that much better when I get on the water because I know what I am looking at on my screen. Also shows me how badly I need to upgrade my electronics to have side scanning.
I completely agree! Glad the video was helpful!
THE Best instructional video on a Hummingbird yet! Gr8 job, very detailed and informative. Loved the comparison shots of Down vs side vs traditional sonar. This video, and the Spot Lock support for Minnekotas, have confirmed my decision to invest in a Hummingbird. Will be sharing on my pages....
Subscribing to your channel is one of the BEST things I could have done! I don’t have money to donate as I’ve been of work having several surgeries over the past three years. However, as soon as I get back on my feet, literally, I will contribute to your efforts. Thank you.
So happy I found your video. I am new to fish finders and you have taught me more in 21 minutes then I have found in the past from searching for videos in fish finders. Thank You Very Much for the Video. Please keep up the great work Many of us here really love it. Your a great teacher and explainer for it.
You are one of the best I ever seen on explaining an catching fish an lot being a pro , most want explain it as well as you do much appreciate another very nice video.
As someone who is new to electronics this was a killer video. I already sent it to two others who have electronics but aren’t using them to maximize their fishing. Awesome awesome content.
Awesome work again!!!! You look so young and to have so much knowledge about bass fishing this young is just amazing...keep up the good work!
Probably the best videos about sonar.!!!
Great video! I'm just a shore angler. No boat,no yak. But was always curious how to read these electronics and what's what on the screen. Just knowing that boat position is at the top of the screen was huge info..lol
You explained everything perfectly. Great job my man..keep it up
This is one of the best videos I have seen that explains the different ways to look at a lake bottom using available electronics while keeping it simple......nice work!! Subscribed.......
Thanks, Justin!
Absolutely the best off shore videos I seen. thank you very much.
Excellent video, I have watched all three of your videos. I just now understand my new electronics and how to use them. Please keep up the great work. Outstanding job.
I think this maybe the best summer yet at my home lake. Thanks for the tips.
I normally do not reply to videos I watch but you did such a great job, I wanted to let you know I appreciate the work that went into creating this video.
I honestly don’t understand how this video could possibly get ANY thumbs down. This was articulated very well. I don’t even have professors like this in b-school.
One of the better explanations I have seen. Very nice job.
Thanks for an amazing tutorial. I have been tournament fishing for over 30 years and very few pros can explain what you did so naturally. Its really not my style to comment but props were absolutely in order this time. Very articulate, excellent content. Keep doing what you obviously are gifted to do. Blessings...
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad the video was helpful!
You're gonna have one of the most popular bass fishing channels if you keep this up buddy! Great stuff.
Thanks again, Patrick!
Getting my first boat in two weeks.. never used electronics before!! Your video was very helpfull thanks :)
FINALLY A VIDEO THAT MAKES SENSE AND ACTUALLY EXPLAINS THINGS!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the effort you put into your vids. I really get a lot out of them. You should take this show on the road.
Man, you are a jewel. Many thanks for your great lesson on sonar.
Right on time! Just bought my first fish finder and put it on my kayak. I needed this!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
The absolute BEST video I've found yet explaining how all this works, thanks!
I really appreciate this ! I have watched a lot of vids on sonar,as well as playing around trying to understand it while out on the water. You did a KNOCKOUT job explaining. I totally understood you the whole time,and I got it LOL.. Thank you ! ..Oh and it was cool how you demonstrated the sun and the rock casting the shadow in relation to the beam !
First time ever commenting on a youtube video....Excellent Job, i have all these features on my lowrance carbon and have been using it now for 6 months. Your video did a great job of telling me everything i didn't know, which turned out to be a lot. I appreciate my electronics much more now that i f understand what is is showing me, and will get a lot more use out of them. No unnecessary commentary and time wasted. You should be getting paid to do this...hope you are. Good Luck and great job!
Thank you very much! Great job! I have been out of the electronics game for a while! Just purchased a new boat with new electronics on it! Your videos are a huge help! Thank you!
Great vid, very helpful. Just got my first fishfinder and your vids are the best I’ve found on their use. Waiting for ice-out here in Maine but I’ll put your advice to good use soon. You’re a natural teacher. Thanks.
Dude...a totally excellent presentation. I have my first SI unit on its way and this is a tremendous help. The best I have seen, and I have watched a bunch of them. Thanks.
Geeking out and I love it. Honestly this is one of your best videos. I love the level of detail and the ease with which you explain it. Keep up the good work, Jonny!
Haha thank you!
Outstanding video. The screen shots with overlays are great examples and easy to understand. This is probably thee best ‘class’ I’ve had on reading sidescan and comparing Get to downscan. Thanks!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the comment!
Mann the best video by far Hummingbird TV can’t hold a candle to you bro!
