Here in southwest Arkansas it went completely dark for 4 minutes. Craziest thing I've ever seen. Coyotes started howling in the distance at 2:00 in the day, and the temp dropped about 10 degrees
Thank you for this video, please make more of these. I can sit here and watch you fishing for an hour even if you’re not catchin anything. Your techniques are amazing.
Watch you fish bro I want to go fishing with you. Have a great day out there Randy. You know Randy I love the Peace and tranquility you get when you're on the water by yourself there nothing like that in the world catching a bass it's so peaceful out there thanks for everything the past 3 yrs your awesome bro and so is your channel God bless you and your family.
Randy has been fishing at the top level of bass fishing for many years. One can learn how to work water by just watching him fish. His pinpoint casts, his stealthiness in the boat, boat positioning etc.
Hey Randy I loved this on the water video! I went out fishing today in Northern Michigan I caught two Smallies and one large mouth, one small mouth was right during the eclipse! Freezing cold water
I had the same thing happen to me during the last eclipse. I was on Stockton and the Bass just quit biting. I got to tell you it was totally opposite of my hopeful expectations. Lol
I’m in NE Dallas and we were right in the narrow band of totality, and it was dark as night for 4 minutes. A surreal experience for sure. It seems you may have been outside the immediate zone of experiencing this, so perhaps if there are stories of the bass reacting and going into a feeding mode, that these would be from people who were in the narrow band of full totality. Either way, awesome video and thanks for documenting it for us!
You are correct... Grand was definitely not in the true path of totality! But if you were able to experience the true totality of the solar eclipse.. it was definitely a surreal moment and something to remember!
My wife and I were fishing Lake Mead several years ago and killing the Striped Bass. A fish on nearly every cast. As soon as the light started to dim the bite quit and we didn’t catch another fish the rest of the day!
Here in VA by the Chesapeake the eclipse just made the light a strange color for a while, it didn't get dark here. I had to work. We looked at it with the boss's phone for a second and kept working.
WOW, love it. Great to see you on the water, Randy. 👍🏻👍🏻Think it’s only the second time since I’ve been following you. And the last one was almost painful to watch. This one was MUCH BETTER, IMO. Just wish you had mic and did a lil running narrative of your thoughts as you worked those docks. Telling us which baits you were throwing and how you were working them. Even without catching fish that would be content worth watching. Maybe even some comments added during editing would have made this better. PLEASE do more on the water vids, they will get better the more you do.
@@hunterjarnigan7220 I guess that’s fair. He has had a couple videos asking what can he do to grow his channel and get more views and it’s obvious. He talks all these techniques but never really shows them work. It’s clear why some channels are bigger than his bc they actually capture them fishing and catching fish. Most of the time it’s Randy talking. I don’t get but hurt about the Livescope but I think there needs to be some type of regulation but, I’d still prefer a video with actual fishing compared to just talking.
I went for a little while today during the eclipse. It was raining here in East Tennessee. Pretty weird. Caught a drum on a spinner bait. That's it. Went and picked a mess of mushrooms afterwards... Ive had worse days.
30 years ago we were fishing with reasonable luck then all of a sudden we started slamming 3 to 4 lb bass for about 45 min to an hour. Then it calmed down again. When we got back to town we found out that was the exact time of the eclipse. I forgot it was today and mowed the yard instead.
I was fishing from 11am to 6:30pm EST today. Only action before the eclipse started was my glide bait getting followed by a school of bluegill. Now, I did start catching em when the eclipse started, BUT I also completely changed the area of the lake I was fishing, changed from spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and a ned to a texas rigged black w/blue fleck senko, with a 1/4OZ bullet weight, not pegged. Got in to 3 in that area. Change was mostly going from 7-8ft with stumps and rocks, to 3-5ft with clumps of vegetation. Got 3 in two hours in that area, my dad got 2. Eclipse came and went in that spot. Moved to EVEN SHALLOWER water, started casting and pitching around a heavier jig. Now back in 1-3ft of water. Punching through slop of decayed vegetation and sticks, around reeds and all kinds of stuff. Started absolutely slamming them. This was probably around 4ish est. Bite didnt turn off till around 6:15ish when we left. Saw a guy catch a nice one in some deeper water on the way back to the ramp though. Not really sure if the eclipse had much effect on them though. Hard to tell with all the variable changes. Water temps pretty much about 40-45, getting warmer the shallower we got. Nice 71 degree day, not a cloud in the sky.
I sent out as well and caught 6 during it but nothing seemed different. Normal reaction to jerk bait. But Randy. More on the water videos. Less talking in the truck or shop. Let’s go fishing ❤
I fished during 2017 eclipse. Had to hold the fish right up to my face to tell what they were. Couldn’t see the patterns. They all looked like largemouth bass
I know the fish lock up after an earthquake in the general region of a lake I went to years ago with a cousin. Dont remember the magnitude, but a sizable quake hit as we got on the road to get there. We saw some green flashes way off in the distance and wondered what that was. We didn’t know about the quake (didn’t feel it through the vehicle) until about an hour into the trip when we moved the radio from music to a news station, and they were going nuts about a quake right near a town we just started passing through. They said the time it hit and we were like “hey, that’s right when we got on the freeway!” We then figured those green flashes were power lines arcing.
I got out fishing too (north GA) during eclipse and new moon btw and caught a 2lb spotted bass but I just don’t think t had anything to do with the eclipse. Got home around 3:00 and heard the brawny owls hoot’n early…normally at dusk.
I fished all day yesterday during the eclipse. I was curious how they bite. I was fishing just outside of Longview, Texas where I thought it was going to get like night time. It didn't, and fishing stayed the same all day.
My oldest and I did the same thing today! Fished a spot we catch with a fair amount of consistency, but today during the dark period all the absolute donks came out! Since I'm coming up on only a full year of fishing, I don't really know if the eclipse had anything to do with it, or if it was just a coincidence. All I know is that it was pretty awesome! He's editing the video together right now. I'll post a link in the replies when he's done.
Up here in Canada near Niagara it got fairly dark out. Right in the Niagara region it was full on night time so I was curious as well if they’d bite during the black out part
I fished all day on Norman today to see what the fish did, crushed it all day till 2:30ish, went through 5 packs of caffeine shads. 2:30 - 7:30 was pretty slow only had 12 or 13 fish, the morning till 2:30 had 40-50. Felt like it had negative effect down here for sure. 🤷🏽♂️
Winter-Spring-Summer& Fall.... You can never fish that area without hearing a LEAF BLOWER. 😅. I think the people around there put more time on their leaf blowers than they do anything else they own.
I like watching you fish even if they aren't biting. It's like I'm on the boat with you. No Livescope! 😁👍🏻 I think they should have a law where if you have a boat dock with cables tied to it they should have flags hanging off of them for safety purposes. I almost had my head taken off fishing on the back of boat till my co- angler told me to watch out!😮
I went Bass fished during the eclipse yesterday as well, and man did it get cold once the sun was covered by the moon. It was a very weird day to say the least. I caught a 3lbr and a snapping turtle that must have been 30+ pounds. I thought the snapper was a huge Bass at first , but about 2 seconds after setting the hook I realized what it was and man was I really disappointed.. I hate catching snappers when Bassn' period, It took me about 15 mins to get my jig out of the turtles razor sharp jaws, he was a tough S>O>B. I caught the one Bass and the ugly dinosaur snapper in 2-3 ft of water as far as I could get back into a northern creek channel.. I found no adverse Bass behavior during the eclipse. FWIW Thx Rando!
The fish were off on my lake I could get them to bite I was fishing a charterbait and didn't get any bites then switched to a shaky head and didn't get a bite and then switched to an under spinner and had one on for 5 seconds and it got off so I got skunk hopefully someone else did good
I wish you would make more videos just fishing. I'm not saying I don"t like to hear what you have to say but that peacefulness is hard to beat.
Beautiful scenery, bird chirping, clear water, I can feel the fresh air. Keep video like this coming.
This is a killer idea for a fishing video! Way to think outside the box Randy!
Had the same idea!! lol. My buddy caught an eclipse giant!! ruclips.net/user/shorts85KFAEUW87U?si=DrEyGb44Kf4r_dsk
More fishing videos please. It was very informative to see how you approached fishing docks with a variety of lures and accurate casts.
It would be good to see more videos of you fishing.
Hello Randy, you should do more casting videos for us to watch. It’s great to see an expert at work.
I agree... 😎
Very nice video... A nice change of pace... And yes.. You're a good caster ... Love to be able to skip cast like that...
Here in southwest Arkansas it went completely dark for 4 minutes. Craziest thing I've ever seen. Coyotes started howling in the distance at 2:00 in the day, and the temp dropped about 10 degrees
Thank you for this video, please make more of these. I can sit here and watch you fishing for an hour even if you’re not catchin anything. Your techniques are amazing.
Casually casting with deadly accuracy…old school pro👊
yea people can’t seriously talk that nonsense
backlash on the 2nd cast. 🤫
now this is the content i subbed for
On the water vid! Thanks randy
Enjoyed seeing the lake scenery. Love your on the lake videos.
This is what I've been wanting to see for the last 3 years.
More of these kind of videos Randy!!
Watch you fish bro I want to go fishing with you. Have a great day out there Randy. You know Randy I love the Peace and tranquility you get when you're on the water by yourself there nothing like that in the world catching a bass it's so peaceful out there thanks for everything the past 3 yrs your awesome bro and so is your channel God bless you and your family.
All of us want to fish with randy. Your no better then the rest of us
@@michaelmcclenon6663I'd rather fish with Ben milliken
@@michaelmcclenon6663I'm sure he was having a one on one conversation with Randy.. I bet you're a Brandon supporter..
More of this format Randy. I love the sounds of spring
Now this is what I wanted to see! Great to see you on the water!
That was cool riding along on this experiment, man it was so peaceful, thanks for sharing Randy, we'll see you in next video have a great week!!!
Did the same thing today! My buddy caught an eclipse giant! ruclips.net/user/shorts85KFAEUW87U?si=DrEyGb44Kf4r_dsk

Funny. You were right behind us at Shangri La when it was full eclipse.
Thanks!
Thx Mike!
Randy, i love these on the water videos. Please show us more. I think seeing you do it will make us better anglers for sure. Awesome channel!
That's solitude calmness on the water brings back great memories ! That's Randy!!
Yes, I noticed major bird activity. Looked like you picked a nice creek to fish. Thanks for the observation.
I love that you made this video! How fun and what a cool idea Randy.
My wife and I were fishing Lake Mead several years ago and killing the Striped Bass. A fish on nearly every cast. As soon as the light started to dim the bite quit and we didn’t catch another fish the rest of the day!
Went to Clark's Hill today .
25 lbs on a jackhammer. They bit right thru the eclipse .
so you "Eclipsed" your old jackhammer 5 fish limit ?
Yes sir and it was a thing of beauty 😂@kls2020
Sweet that my home lake as well
Cool video, thanks for doing this. I was golfing, but looked at it many times with my glasses.
Peaceful, thank you Randy ! I wish I was fishing. Good luck in your practice !
More on the water videos nice to see someone actually casting
Here in VA by the Chesapeake the eclipse just made the light a strange color for a while, it didn't get dark here. I had to work. We looked at it with the boss's phone for a second and kept working.

Randy finally got a recording setup on the boat
He’s been had it and has on the water videos already
@@brianpierson7708 Yeah- using a phone though.
I don’t care if the guy catches nothing just on the water videos are the way to grow his channel. Just keep doing them.
@@AsianAmerican113 to grow his channel😂😂. The dude has over 120k subs that’s more than most “pros” now

Bass are on beds here in Alabama. I couldn't get a single one to bite this past Friday... I am going to try again this Friday
Caught a few during totality today on the x-nanahan. Didn’t seem to turn them on anymore than they were before but it sure was a cool experience
I had one of my best days today. Not during the eclipse but the last couple hours of the day

Great video Randy. Good to see you fishing on a video. Keep it up.
Nice to watch you fish
I sent out as well and caught 6 during it but nothing seemed different. Normal reaction to jerk bait. But Randy. More on the water videos. Less talking in the truck or shop. Let’s go fishing ❤
Keep doing what you're doing ....more tips per minute than these other Look at what I got boats, trucks, electronics etc....
Thanks for doing this. I was curious how this would work. I also thought about getting a powerball ticket at that time. :-)
Wow what a cool video
Favorite video you’ve done !
I fished yesterday. Caught a few before the eclipse, Stopped and watched eclipse until clouds came in. After could not get bit. Thanks.
I fished during 2017 eclipse. Had to hold the fish right up to my face to tell what they were. Couldn’t see the patterns. They all looked like largemouth bass

I noticed the wind stopped in Tulsa during the solar eclipse, I felt weird too.
Oh … Like the live action Randy, thank you!
I caught a 2 pounder on a red lipless crank in Baton Rouge
Sweet video!
I had to adjust the brightness of my livescope screen. 😂 Sorry I had to.
Well played, Sir!
There is no drop in the barometer during a solar eclipse unless you had rain or a front during the eclipse.
I got out fishing too (north GA) during eclipse and new moon btw and caught a 2lb spotted bass but I just don’t think t had anything to do with the eclipse. Got home around 3:00 and heard the brawny owls hoot’n early…normally at dusk.
I had the same result. But caught them pretty good the next hour after the eclipse.
I hammered them throughout the whole eclipse. Caught 15 bass, multiple 4lb+
What kind of bait did you choose for the Eclipse were you trying?
This video makes me like livescope even more. The type of fishing Randy does i dont miss at all honestly.
Gotta say.... On Cloud shoes are SUPER comfy.
I think I will have to check them out. Thanks for the info.
Eclipse didn't help with fish, but video is awesome anyway 🤩, LOVED IT👍! Keep them coming! Got here new subscriber fisherman from Kazakhstan 😉🖐
Went fishing tonight caught them great in about 10-15’ of water. Rage craw Texas rigged, moving it fairly fast, water 57 here in mo
Yes! You need to do some more of these on the Water videos.
Whats that horrible noise when you use the trolling motor at 3:51 for example
I think it’s the phone/camera vibrating against the mount or console.
Crazy how the birds were chirping today during the eclipse
I was actually catfishing today, and when the eclipse started they started biting and caught a couple...after, they shut off again.
Cool...
Thanks Randy. What lake was that
I tried this same thing the last eclipse and didn't catch a thing either.
Same here, but we got one today! My buddy caught an eclipse giant! ruclips.net/user/shorts85KFAEUW87U?si=DrEyGb44Kf4r_dsk
With the trolling motor makein that much noise, how you catch anything ?
I fished all day yesterday during the eclipse. I was curious how they bite. I was fishing just outside of Longview, Texas where I thought it was going to get like night time. It didn't, and fishing stayed the same all day.
Looks a lot like Lake of the Ozarks. Does Grand Lake get those huge killer boats flying way to fast too?
8:44 5 minutes of some light loss ? lol That was better than Springer...Si-Fi bassing .I think a saw the wolf man
My oldest and I did the same thing today! Fished a spot we catch with a fair amount of consistency, but today during the dark period all the absolute donks came out!

in Ohio I was told the birds stop chirping during the eclipse & resumed after it passed..
Our neighbors roosters were crowing like morning here in ohio. We setup the lawn chairs and the cooler and watched ,pretty cool
dope idea randy this is goood shit
Im on Grand lake a lot. Hopefully I run into Randy at some point while im out kayak fishing.
Up here in Canada near Niagara it got fairly dark out. Right in the Niagara region it was full on night time so I was curious as well if they’d bite during the black out part

It got stupid quite in DFW was very strange wondering if grand lake was outside of the visibility for totality
Legendary
good seing you fish firts time

Went out today,not fishing the Toyota and the Bernice area was pretty good
It happens so fast I think they believe it's a cloud. If totality lasted longer I do believe you would have seen some difference.
Nice camera setup👌

What part of the country are you in?
The fish were off on my lake I could get them to bite I was fishing a charterbait and didn't get any bites then switched to a shaky head and didn't get a bite and then switched to an under spinner and had one on for 5 seconds and it got off so I got skunk hopefully someone else did good
I went bank fishing during it, no luck unfortunately.
I was wondering how the fishn would be. The wind was 20mph so i stayed home. No eclipse anyway here in washington state
Did I notice a little 'professional overrun' on that second cast?
What camera did you use to record this Gopro 12? The video quality is superb.
Nice
