I think part of the reason so many people are so criminally incompetent at launching and loading is because the majority of boat ramp videos show people doing everything WRONG. Even those with titles like "How to launch like a pro", or "Proper boat ramp etiquette" are wrong at least 50% of the time. And, seeing several bass boats launched properly, in person, apparently doesn't put a dent in the thick skulls of people who've witnessed hundreds of hapless, rude and/or entitled boaters taking 30-40 minutes to do a 2-3 minute job.
At the lake we go to, you try and time when the fisherman put in so not being at the ramp. I will say these guys are very organized and efficient , that group can load 10 boats in the time it takes some people to load one, very entertaining.
When you get loading at the lake down, then go to the river and load with a current. Two totally different techniques but valuable to know both. If you can load in current you can load at the lake on a windy day. Just time the white caps if they get that big. Your trailer person will need to know a thing or two about where that trailer needs to be. A lot of times just "backin er in there" works, but sometimes it dont and where that trailer is is important.
Great video but I want to point out that bass boats load a lot different onto a trailer than a deep V fiberglass walleye boat. The deep Vs with the deeper hulls and most having a 2 nd kicker motor always want to slide back down the trailer. If you want your strap eye tight you have to keep power to the main motor until you strap it. Or get a Drotto catch system which I have. 👍👍👍
Trial and erro .practice. every situation is different. Made the biggest fool of myself when starting out .but trying after trys and finding what works for me is best.still change steps here and there
As much as I loathe bass fishermen on the water and around me when I am crappie fishing, I do have to give them credit for actually knowing how to load a boat and the the hell out of the way for the next guy. Every boater should be able to do this. I load a pontoon and it takes less than 3 minutes from the time the trailer hits the water to us being up in the PARKING LOT unloading and securing the pontoon.
Sure is boring... watching how the good boaters load their trailer.
😅
Now show eight Lanes of the pros!
Predawn launch in fast motion would be cool.
Must be nice to have someone get the truck withought havving to dock the boat.if only my friends gas little skill

First bass boat trailer was too hi n could have bit his prop trying to push up. Eveeyone get a Boat Buddy auto latch, in, touch it, out.
Bring it in, front on the ping. Raise the motor. Its a win

Good to see the flag is back..🇺🇸👍😎
😊
They must have those special trailers and boats , did anyone have to make a second try load?
😂 I don't think so!
They learned how to do it so well by watching RUclips videos. 😂
🤣
Wasn't a YT when most of these guys learned

Nice to see people that know how to back the trailer in and load the boat. 😀
Ill never understand how someone can own a boat but not be able to back a trailer.
But then I grew up on a farm, we were taught not to be useless.
Thats because most of these bass fishermen are going out on the lake at least 3X per week and thats a lot of practice over the years.
Maybe some viewers can learn how it's done correctly

Nice to see ole Glory flying, Man those bass fishermen need to learn how to get in the water waist deep and pull thier boats onto the trailer by hand.
🤣

Don’t you just love it when boaters get their turn and then start unloading stuff from the car to the boat
You would rather have wake boats coming by at 8 mph throwing those 4 and 5 footers?
