Oh my gosh!! I remember having markers in my boat to camo my line and owning some Quantum and Shimano Bantam reels. This video added tricks to my bass fishing back in the day! Flash Backs! (I also used a Color-C-Letor the combo with PH 😉)
What an excellent video. I started fishing two years ago and this one video is more valuable than the vast array of RUclips content creators producing bass fishing videos. But also, I couldn't help notice how ironic it is that 3M produced this because they are a primary PFAS producer, a pollutant now found in freshwater bodies of water across the country. It's just catch and release for me. I never knew about that Catch & Release liquid, either. Very interesting.
Great video.. back when an angler used skills/talent/techniques to catch bass...complete opposite of many anglers today...Technology vs Fish, instead of angler vs fish
Technology can help you find where the fish are but it doesn't make them bite your hook. It helps but it doesn't put the fish in your boat plus for rookies like me who aren't bass pros it keeps us from fishing an area with zero fish and wasting our time and money. What is the percentage of bass pros compared to people like me? If it wasn't for the technology I would probably give up on fishing, I don't have the time to fish everyday and learn what the pros have learned the hard way, technology is great, if you don't like it then don't use it but for me I'm all in on it but the price to play is steep.
@@jstar1000 then u aren't a true fisherman...the sport of fishing is to find the fish & fool them into biting...if technology does it all for u, then u are just along for the ride...Livescope allowing the angler to see their bait on screen, allows them to put the bait in a fish's face...You do that, very good chance they will bite...And tournament results are proving this....if contributing 1% to catching fish satisfies u, go for it....Nevertheless, that's not the sport of fishing
@@andybales7318 I'm a true fisherman because I don't have live scope and I don't catch fish way more then I catch them. Its to the point I rarely want to put in the effort to go fishing anymore. All the money and time I spend on the boat, equipment, gas, tow vehicle on and on then the whole day spent driving back and forth and time on the water all to not catch a single fish, yeah that gets real old really fast, not to mention the messed up weather that screws you way too often. I enjoy being out on the water but I would rather just take my RV and stay a few days at the lake and blow off fishing if that is my typical result which, it is. Just because you see a fish and your lure it still doesn't show you what type of fish and it doesn't make the fish bite your hook. I can see it being banned from pro tournaments for sure but for people like me, I want one but again they are too expensive at this point so I'm off to go camping and my boat sits, I may fish 4 or 5 times a year at this point. Maybe I should just sell the boat and hire a guide the 4 or 5 times I fish. When I was younger back in the 80s I would always catch fish and lots of them, seems like fishing is way tougher now for what ever reason at least here where I live in North Texas.
@@andybales7318give someone with zero knowledge of where bass are a live scope and the best radar and they still won’t catch as many fish as someone with knowledge and a depth finder. If you can’t retrieve your lure right the fish aren’t going to bite.
@@dingusumadre yeah, sure buddy...🤣 keep trying to justify it, most real anglers not blind to reality can see it for what it is...Legal cheating & a money maker
Bro i keep popping off the giants. Lost a teener and a 8 lber in a tree and he popped my line.. throwing big ass glide baits till i make one bite im not stopping@FishinWithGRAMPS
Best video ever! There were 2 more in this series, “Bass The Formula For Success” featuring Doug Hannon, Al Lindner and Charlie Farmer - Love that Video ❤ and “Understanding Big Bass” another Doug Hannon Winner! Can’t believe these were made in 1986! @FishinWithGramps, if you have these gems, can you upload them for your channel subscribers too? That would be Awesome! 🎉❤🎉 👍
@@FishinwithGRAMPS Awesome your are doing this! The video I mentioned with Al Linder and Hannon has 5 total videos and is the Best I’ve seen. 3 M Bass Mastery Series (Lead-in: Formula for Success) then there is 3 M Bass Mastery Series Videos 1-4 that cover the seasons in-depth. Worth watching…. Thanks again for all your content! ♥️
Dude caught over 800 10 lb. bass. You could catch a 10 pounder a week, every week and it would take you 15 years to do that. Wrap your head around that!
That is nucking futs, my PB is like 7.4 followed by a 6.2 both on the same day no doubt that was pretty cool and they were the only fish I caught that day at Lake Fork.
I feel a soothing sense of calm watching Doug's videos.
i always enjoyed watching these shows a s a kid, still watch em to this day for reference
I needed this ride back to simpler times! Thank you 🙏
*The controls for the anchor control is really nice* 👌
This video is just epic. I can't thank you enough for posting it. My dad enjoys it too. He was very happy when I shared this with him. Thank you! 🎣
I learn something every time I watch this, it’s absolutely amazing how well is still translates.
Really awesome video! Thanks for uploading and keeping this treasure alive for us to learn from!
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG i forgot all about this video what a gem 😊😊
Douglas twin brother Hal was my best friend of 23 years. He passed away Dec 13th 2021. 2 great men
Did Doug really become an alcoholic?

check out this guys channel, he's got TONS of old school videos. I've been streaming them on the TV ruclips.net/channel/UC6eVTYpYuNzfQf428Pe2NgQ
These are gold
the lateral line part is mind blowing
yeah, these old documentaries still teach us a lot

I still use mono only. Its never failed me and is cost effective
One of the best bass fisherman of all time!! Over 800 ten pounders!!🤯mind blowing!! Been fishing over 35 years and never caught one 10lbs 😢
I feel ya, must best is just over 8# when I was stationed in Texas. I just want ONE in my life.
@@FishinwithGRAMPS
I’m from Michigan and would love to get one over 6#.
It was a long time ago. Much less people and fishing pressure.

Among other things, the stats on moon activity was very informative! 👍
Always come back to this for a little DH wisdom. Thanks gramps.

I started honing my hooks throughout the fishing day and it actually increases hook sets by a noticeable amount
Funny how the little things matter

Its an insane number of DDs even for 1986 … im 40 and never even came close to 1 DD! 😂
That is nucking futs, my PB is like 7.4 followed by a 6.2 both on the same day no doubt that was pretty cool and they were the only fish I caught that day at Lake Fork.
Wonder what this big bass man would think about FFS?
Doug Hannon wasn't a phoney...He would never support such a ridiculous piece of technology that takes away skill & talent to catch fish
lol who dresses like that to go fishing. 😅. Such good times 😊
Miss those days with my grandpa
