Great video and content. Just because you have forward facing sonar doesn’t guarantee you’ll catch them like a lot of people think. Thank you for what you do. Very helpful.
Hey bubba if fishing was easy they wouldn't have tournaments because everyone would win. You gave it ago and this time the lake won. Keep your head up and may the sun be at your back and the wind in your face.
My favorite part is even thought you "failed", you still shared it with us. It lets people know that even the best among us have tough days....which is something a lot of other channels just simply gloss over. Thank you, Tyler
The new lake experience is always a challenge. My favorite part was around the 15.30 minute mark. Discouraging part with the song lol. Catching 5 fish is never guaranteed 😂.
As someone who has casually fished for a long time but just started to get serious about bass fishing, it's such a great reminder that even the seasoned vets struggle at times. When you landed the first and thought you might be on to something, and then nothing... story of my life.
I like that you posted even if you didn’t slay it on the water. Too often do RUclipsrs only post when they have amazing days. That sets most people up for disappointment. Not only that, you kept your spirits high and didn’t give up. You analyzed what happened that day instead of saying “I don’t know what went wrong”. Learning from a day on the water is critical to improvement. Good work 👍🏻
I love your channel because of how honest and real you are. Many other fishing RUclipsrs would scrap videos like this but I appreciate you showing that fishing isn’t always catching.
Your videos have always been next level, providing a ton of content in a good amount of time. The editing and post is icing on the cake. Favorite part? When you failed! Haha, it's nice seeing that even professionals like you don't always meet your goals. At least you hooked up on 3, I probably wouldn't have found any if I were in your shoes.
great video sir, really like the effort in the editing and the storytelling. Not everyone puts that much effort for their subs. Not the best day of fishing but everytime is a learning experience, thanks for sharing with us that sometimes great fisherman have bad days too.
My favorite part is that you never gave up and gave it your all and you still got fish and that you have no excuses. One day you are gunna look back when you figure out that lake and just be like what was I doing😂
This type video is the most helpful content for your subscribers. It’s very relatable (we all have tough days, especially on new water) and helpful to see your pre-trip planning and to see how you put those plans into play when you get to the lake. Thanks so much for doing this video and I hope to see more.
My favorite part of this/ these videos would definitely have to be how you post your success and you failure’s and teach how you learn from your mistakes. Great videos!! Keep up the Great fishing!!!
Love the channel Tyler! It is nice to know someone with so much experience can still have a hard day of fishing. Without the hard days the good day wouldn’t be as good.
I like this idea for a series. It's great to see your process and strategies for breaking down a lake. My favorite part was when you mentioned how pinch points are obvious, yet great places to search for bass. I'm not fortunate enough to own a bass boat, so I do a lot of bank fishing. And bridges are my go to, especially in the summer when they provide shade. Keep up these style of videos, Tyler.
That really was a great video. It's very clear that you puts hours and hours of effort into it and it shows! I'm glad that you showed how sometimes things don't pan out the way we like for them to. That's probably the most important lesson fishing has to teach us.
I loved how that crankbait bite on the rip rap went from a "is that a fish" to both hands on the rod getting pulled hard. Those moments you hook a good one are not predictable but they keep us coming back for more and are extra special on the tough days.
it was really cool to see you fishing on one of my home lakes. Sheron Harris is one of 3 awesome lakes in the Raleigh area and I've fished it many times. Great to see how you broke it down. when It's on you can catch monsters there. I really appreciate the video. keep up the great work.
I think my favorite part was at 6:40 or so when you caught your first fish and there was "hope" for a pattern and success. Having said that, it was good to see that someone of your skill level also has days that don't always pan out the way we'd like them to. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to put out such a high quality video product. Your videos are appreciated.
I love the honest representation of how fishing can go sometimes, that with the clearly laid out educational portions makes BassFishingHQ one of my favorite fishing channels. Thank you!
My favorite part was how you constantly talk through your reasoning on why you are doing something or what you are thinking at a particular time. As a young angler this really benefits me by helping me learn the why behind a lot of things you and other anglers do. Thank you for the amazing content as always. Keep it up!
It's good to know that I am not the only one that spends a day out fishing and doesn't really get into much success, even though I fish all over the lake. I love how you share what you have learned and your insights into your bass fishing techniques. Showing how you move all over different parts of the lake gives me courage to do the same.
My favorite part is how humble you stayed even after the lake kicked your butt, we’ve all been there before where we think it’s all going to work and it does not go as planned , love all your content it is always very helpful, thanks so much Tyler
Honestly my favorite part is the end keeping your courage and confidence up it's hard out there I've been hitting it pretty dry spell on fish these past few months and my confidence has gone down that's my favorite part of it no one that you got to keep your courage and your confidence up, and stay focus that is the main key to catching bass
My favorite part of the video is where you take time throughout to explain your reasoning behind the choices you made. It helps give insight and that extra bit of knowledge to anglers who may not have the experience/knowledge that you have. Being a fairly new angler myself your videos help me in every way possible and for that I thank you Tyler!
Hell of a video. The breakdown of the lake. The persistence. Some days you give it all on a lake but it doesn’t gift you what you’d like but that’s all part of it. Any day on the water is a good day.
This is a great video. I love that you show uncensored how it feels to fish a tourney and its just grasping at straws. You're doing everything correct just not getting the bites. This is the story of my life for sure! Keep up the great work and do not get discouraged. Please keep making this video series!
My favorite thing about you and this video is your honesty. You posted this even though you failed. A lot of content creators wouldn’t be so honest. Keep it comin!
I appreciate your honesty...you didn't hit your goal and you didn't make excuses...you owned it...had fun and taught us something...so my favorite part of this video is you just staying true to yourself and your passion.
My favorite part is the honesty about fishing, fishing highlights can obscure the reality of actually fishing and the process of finding and catching fish that goes for any species great video
Just like many tournaments, the bass show their unpredictability. The on the water videos are always better content when possible as we like to see techniques in action, even when the fish are not cooperating. The great Jimmy Houston has commented many, many times on how many hours it sometimes takes to film enough footage for a single tv episode. Great video! Keep moving forward!!
I have been a subscriber for over a year now. Love your content. I think I've learned more from your videos than many of the others I watch. You really do pass on valuable info. I especially liked your bass movement study or audits. Packed with data and facts. Answered so many thoughts and questions that I've had. Your can't believe how your failure in this video inspired me. Not because you failed but because it made me feel like I'm not the only one out here that swings and misses. You get way more time on the water than a regular Joe like me. It shows me that we're in the same boat (pun intended) and that encourages me to not give up, to keep getting out there, keep learning, keep challenging myself. Many times we only see the successes in videos, not the not the fails. Your vids show all of the good and not so good. Keep bringing your experiences to us. They truly are informational and inspirational. Thanks.
My favorite part of this video is your tune you sang. We’ve all been there, talking to ourselves, being discouraged, and mutter something to the our buddy in the boat to keep it lighthearted. I enjoy all aspects of you vids. Graphics, storylines, and how you put them all together. Really think you’re data based videos as of late should be watched by every fisher.
My favorite part of the video is the video itself. In fact, it show how fishing is about enjoying your day and having fun more than catching a ton of fish. It also cool to see that you still posted your video even tho you didn’t achieved your goal, most RUclipsr wouldn’t have done the same.
Thank you for sharing with us. As a newer boating fisherman this series really helps me break down a lake. Wish i had bigger lakes like this with the larger creek arms. Most of my lakes in northern illinois are pretty shallow and are surrounded by houses. Come out to the chain o lakes out here and do a lake break video. Id love to see that!
I'm a new bass angler on a new (to me) lake fishing the back seat with an experienced boater in a local tournament trail. Much of the time I'm researching your channel for proper gear for presenting the right bait depending on the lake conditions. I've become a better angler using your real-life advice, and our boat almost always limits out. Thanks for sharing your stories of triumph and moments of misery! I owe ya!
It’s nice to see a video that is true to how fishing really is. I’ve had more days like this than i care to talk about. Bass fishing can be so humbling. Thanks again
I like how even though sometimes you may not have the best days of fishing you still show everything that happens when a water, any clues you might catch onto or any patterns you might stumble upon, or just the plain old sucky days of only catching a few here and there. You show the good and the bad and I appreciate that...
I really enjoyed how you broke down the lake into workable sections, graphing along the way. The end where you say, "this is fishing" is so true! Love it!
Loved the video. Learn a lot from all of your videos and still learning at 81 yrs. old. While I enjoy watching you catch fish, it's really helpful to me to see you struggle on a tough day. That's what a lot of my days look like and it's so easy to get discouraged.
I love how you educate your viewers, it helps us to catch more fish. I really liked how you did this challenge. This relates to a lot of new fishermen how are just learning where to fish on a lake. Thank you
As mentioned before my favorite part is that you’re willing to show us the fails. As they are they best learning opportunities for oneself. Keep up the great content! I enjoy your humbleness and simplicity to bass fishing.
It’s important to experience failure as a part of growth, professionally and personally. Thank you for being open and transparent and not just putting some glitter on a reel to get views.
My favorite part: positive attitude when the fish were not cooperating and I always love it when you illustrate the lake and what you are looking to do. Thanks
Such a great real video. Really appreciate watching your process and that you were not afraid to show me that 3 fish in 8 hours doesn’t get yah down. It is amazing how all the bites can come in 10 minutes of a whole day.
I appreciate that you showed us the struggle versus just fish catches. The struggle is real for most of us early season cold water bass fishing. So seeing you struggle and talk about it provides content that most viewers can relate to this time of year on the water. We are almost to ice out in my neck of the woods and the next two to three weeks will be all about the struggle....
My favorite part of the video is that when you lost all hope you kept on trying new things to try and get a bite. That is where I loose some motivation when it comes to fishing....way to keep after it! Thanks for all the videos and hard work! You motivate me to keep trying new things with fishing! Keep up the content!!
I love the fact that you keep it real w your subscribers even on tough fishing days, it makes for more relatable content and the breakdown on what structures you look for to catch fish rlly helps me down here in SoCal👊🏽🤙🏽
Best part of the video is the integrity you showed by not splicing in footage of a similar lake with a couple 8 pounders. Much respect. Just found your channel a couple months ago, but truly enjoying the content. Keep it up!
Fished all my life (72 years) but got away from it for a few years. I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed (line, rods, reels, lures) the past 15 years. I found BassFishingHQ this morning and have watched 7 videos so far today. I really like your teaching and presentation. Thank you!
Great video. I sent this to a friend of mine who is emphatic about purchasing livescope to prove to him that even someone with extensive experience with the device isn't always going to load the boat and crush competition. Many factors are at play in the world of bass fishing, not just electronics. He is of the opinion that having it will allow him to dominate in tournaments and I cannot convince him that is just not the case. Keep sharing content, greatly appreciated.
Much like my less than fruitful fishing days, it's always a learning experience. Being that I struggle a little too often with new bodies of water, the best part of this video for me was that it reassured to see that even someone with as much fishing knowledge as you isn't always shredding it every single experience. Just started fishing last year and I'd like to say I'm self-taught, but that wouldn't be true because your videos have been guiding me along the way. PB so far is a 5 pounder from a pond earlier this year, but I'm looking forward to more of your content that'll help me pump up those rookie numbers. Keep em comin!
My favorite part of the video was you explaining your strategy going into the day. I recall hearing you talk about the lake arms and highways in many other videos so it was nice to see you trying to apply that strategy on a new lake.
My favorite part of the video is you are so humbling. You kept a positive attitude and your always getting something out of each experience on the water. FISH ON!
Love the rawness you show of fishing! Makes your content more relatable to myself and others. That we all have had those tough days on the water. Keep the content coming
I cannot express how much I appreciate your sharing the lake break down thought process. Your teaching style and explanations are great. I also appreciate you are not completely focused or reliant upon your electronics. You were using all the tools available which is a great example to all beginner/intermediate bass anglers such as myself. Probably the most useful thing I gain from experts is how quickly they will move on when fishing is slow. I see people running banks all day in the same locations week after week regardless of the time of year and I see people patrolling and sitting on the "community off shore hot spots". I am hoping to one day to put it all together where I can go beyond the local knowledge and find fish is less well known areas of the lake through a process of elimination combined with educated approximation on location and depth while using electronics to locate structure, cover, bait and fish. Although this day was not an active bite it is nice to know that even the experts have a slow day from time to time. Your channel is a must see for me.
It's so great to finally see a fishing RUclipsr that expresses how hard fishing can be. Often, creators censor bad days when they get skunked, and it gets discouraging for the average joe like me. Thanks for your dedication to your subs bro. Your tips have really helped me out with my bass game.
I love these kind of videos. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I like your mind set about what to fish and how long to do it. Post frontal is tough for anyone. At least you were out on the water enjoying life.
I'm a traditional salt water angler who has discovered the world of bass fishing. Yesterday I fished lake Jordan next to where you were and had a pb. Love your direct style and simple delivery of bass fishing information. "More steak and less sizzle" appeals to me and makes me return to your channel. Keep up the good work and if you want to experience the combination of fresh and salt water fishing head to the Carolina coastal town if Wilmington and I'll put you on some fish.
My favorite part of the video was you continuing to fish and not give up even when the bite got tough. It helps remind me that it’s supposed to be about enjoying your time on the water, instead of just calling it quits and getting frustrated. As always, another awesome video!
Best part is your honesty. That goes for ever since I've watched you. Fishing is tough and alot of people don't understand that. You really drive that home for me. And your from Ohio, I'm from Michigan. Keep up the great videos!
want to say you are truly one of my favorite fishing creators You are very genuine and passionate about bass fishing and you don't only have allot of knowledge about it but you also know how to break it down and teach it in a way anyone can understand which is talent in itself. So I would say I like how you explain your thought process in your vid. It's easy to see you take pride in what you do
Man the whole vid is great going out there with your back against the wall starting out. Cold front just blew through, never been there, and highly pressured you accepted the challenges. A bad day on the water is better than any day at the office bad, good, or indifferent. Glad to see you back making new vids. Thank you for letting us see how you best break down the lake buddy and better fishing next time!!!
I really liked how you broke down the lake and the fact that you didn't reach your goal, shows that you are not afraid to show people that even though you can fish more times than others that you can still not have good days. Great video and keep up the great content.
My favorite part is when you said this is what fishing is really like. Couldn’t have said it any better it’s called fishing not catching. It’s all about those moments when you actually successfully catch a bunch of fish is what makes it all worth the while of going and putting the time into it.
Tyler, I liked the fact that though the fishing was tough you kept grinding all the way until the end. I think it’s a great lesson for us to keep fishing, keep moving, because you never know when you are going to land on two 5 pounders and get your planned limit. Thanks for the great video content!
My favorite part is just breaking down a new body of water. I struggle with that mightily. I tend to stick with patterns that I think should work too long. I love the channel. Don't be discouraged. That's what it's called fishing and not catching. Keep the vids coming!
I appreciate the fact that you show the failures as well as the success. I learned a lot about working a creek for bass. I am new to the sport and your help is greatly appreciated.
I enjoyed you sharing your game plan. It shows how much time you take to devise a game plan in order to achieve success. Most people just go out with no plan or anything. You can’t always rely on “luck.”
This video shows exactly what I have taught my boys. Not everyday is a great day to catch fish, but everyday is a good day to go and learn. The more time on the water the more knowledge you have and eventually it all adds up to a great day of fishing.
My favorite part with this video and your channel in general is you show us that your a real fisherman like the rest of us. We all have good days and days that we kick our butts kicked. Thank you and keep them coming!
I've only really been fishing for a couple years now. I have learned most of my fishing knowledge from you. I have fished all winter trying to practice on techniques with different lures. Now that the water has warmed up I've been catching fish almost every time I'm out. I'm teaching my boys to fish too. Thank you.
Love your channel, I'm just getting into bass fishing . fished for years a little hear and there, im 57yrs old and been disabled for a couple of years so when I'm feeling well enough im on the water wish i could go every day. Your channel has been awesome and helped me more than you can know. still so much to learn. just know your are appreciated keep up the good work and tight lines.
My favorite part was gaining knowledge on breaking down a body of water. As a beginner angler, I need more info like this. I really enjoy your videos and have become a better angler because of them. Thank you!
My favorite part was you explaining in how you tackle a new lake. I'm a total beginner and have no idea what i should do to prep so it was very helpful!!
First just wanted to say I always appreciate your videos and find them very informative. I am particularly new to spring Bass fishing so the thing I actually found most helpful was right at the beginning, but basically all the information about how air temperatures and also water temperatures effect the basses behavior and then showing the tools you use to gather this information! Gives me a good way to look at spots to check out nearby!
What a great video. What made it great for me is that i have old school skills to find fish. Just a striker 4 nothing fancy and get jealous of people that have great boats and equipment. It show me that old school way with all the equipment doesn't always produce fish. You rely still on temp. Visual. Barometric Preasure . Water color, time of year, and fishing knowledge to get the job done along with your equipment. Makes me feel more confident that i am not doing anything wrong. Thanks for showing that video. Fishing is truly fishing. Love your videos
Favorite part of the video was the beginning, the end, and everything in between!! Just like all your videos! Always learn from you and really appreciate your knowledge and honesty. One of my favorite content creators on RUclips! Keep ‘em coming.
I watch pretty much every video you put out. I like that you just do you. Don’t try and copy stuff. Good story teller and provide great teaching. I like the overall realism of it and that you just share from experience. Thank you
My favorite part is how you hold your composure with how rough of a day it is. Everyone has there's good days and bad days and you showed even a RUclipsr can shake it off and move on. Keep up the good work and great videos.
Thanks for this real time lesson. I liked learning how to break down the lake to have an initial plan and then adjusting to what the lake was offering. This will help me with learning the lake I primarily fish better.
My favorite part was the entire video, you took us viewers along even though it was a new lake and there was a chance that you wouldn't have a great day...that takes courage and commitment to your viewers and showing them how to break down a new lake and improve their fishing even though you weren't having a great day. Big kudos to you, most RUclipsr's only show when they are successful and catching giants...it took guts to show us when you had an off day and explained that it isn't all glory and big fish, sometimes despite everything you try the fish just aren't biting and you have a bad day and that happens whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro like you. Keep the videos coming Ty!!!
I always appreciate your insight on how to plot the lake to find where the bass are hiding, especially on a lake you have never fished before. Too bad you didn't make your goal, but I think one viewer will be very happy you didn't! Thanks for the video Tyler! Keep'em coming!
I really appreciate the lake breakdown analysis. We all have those tough days on the water. I hit lakes all the time that I have never fished before and swing and miss more times then landing a ton of bass. Great video as always.
I feel your pain, but know this. I and many other people learned from this video. Please continue this series. Breaking down new water is the toughest part of fishing. Much more difficult than going to your home lake you have fished a hundred times. Keep grinding Tyler!!!
My favorite part of this video is the fact that you failed to reach your goal but made it and let it realistic. In my opinion television and other RUclipsr’s are starting to ruin the real expectations of fishing - catching on every cast, or catching 50lb bags, etc. Thanks for keeping it real.

Welcome to NC
Breaking down a new lake is really hard in prespawn!!! I like your video!!
Great video and content. Just because you have forward facing sonar doesn’t guarantee you’ll catch them like a lot of people think. Thank you for what you do. Very helpful.
Hey bubba if fishing was easy they wouldn't have tournaments because everyone would win. You gave it ago and this time the lake won. Keep your head up and may the sun be at your back and the wind in your face.

The new lake experience is always a challenge. My favorite part was around the 15.30 minute mark. Discouraging part with the song lol. Catching 5 fish is never guaranteed 😂.
My favorite part is the lake itself. I live in Oregon now but I'm from NC about an hour from Sharon harris
As someone who has casually fished for a long time but just started to get serious about bass fishing, it's such a great reminder that even the seasoned vets struggle at times. When you landed the first and thought you might be on to something, and then nothing... story of my life.

I love that you show the entire process of fishing a new lake including google maps.
Your videos have always been next level, providing a ton of content in a good amount of time. The editing and post is icing on the cake. Favorite part? When you failed! Haha, it's nice seeing that even professionals like you don't always meet your goals. At least you hooked up on 3, I probably wouldn't have found any if I were in your shoes.

And bridges are my go to, especially in the summer when they provide shade.
Keep up these style of videos, Tyler.
Another great video! Looking forward to the next video. The weather, water temp can always make bass fishing tuff in the spring.
Lake break down is a great series. The use of maps and aerial shots is a big tool. Getting to visually see what you’re explaining.
That really was a great video. It's very clear that you puts hours and hours of effort into it and it shows! I'm glad that you showed how sometimes things don't pan out the way we like for them to. That's probably the most important lesson fishing has to teach us.
I loved how that crankbait bite on the rip rap went from a "is that a fish" to both hands on the rod getting pulled hard. Those moments you hook a good one are not predictable but they keep us coming back for more and are extra special on the tough days.

Really good info on breaking down the lake can’t wait to try it hear in Southern Oregon just gotta get the snow to quit. 😂
Hell of a video. The breakdown of the lake. The persistence. Some days you give it all on a lake but it doesn’t gift you what you’d like but that’s all part of it. Any day on the water is a good day.
This is a great video. I love that you show uncensored how it feels to fish a tourney and its just grasping at straws. You're doing everything correct just not getting the bites.

Really think you’re data based videos as of late should be watched by every fisher.
My favorite part of the video is the video itself. In fact, it show how fishing is about enjoying your day and having fun more than catching a ton of fish. It also cool to see that you still posted your video even tho you didn’t achieved your goal, most RUclipsr wouldn’t have done the same.
Thank you for sharing with us. As a newer boating fisherman this series really helps me break down a lake. Wish i had bigger lakes like this with the larger creek arms. Most of my lakes in northern illinois are pretty shallow and are surrounded by houses. Come out to the chain o lakes out here and do a lake break video. Id love to see that!
My favorite part is, this is real! It's the same struggle I go through taking my high school team out to new lakes! Thank you!
I'm a new bass angler on a new (to me) lake fishing the back seat with an experienced boater in a local tournament trail. Much of the time I'm researching your channel for proper gear for presenting the right bait depending on the lake conditions. I've become a better angler using your real-life advice, and our boat almost always limits out. Thanks for sharing your stories of triumph and moments of misery! I owe ya!
It’s nice to see a video that is true to how fishing really is. I’ve had more days like this than i care to talk about. Bass fishing can be so humbling. Thanks again
I like how even though sometimes you may not have the best days of fishing you still show everything that happens when a water, any clues you might catch onto or any patterns you might stumble upon, or just the plain old sucky days of only catching a few here and there. You show the good and the bad and I appreciate that...
I really enjoyed how you broke down the lake into workable sections, graphing along the way. The end where you say, "this is fishing" is so true! Love it!
Loved the video. Learn a lot from all of your videos and still learning at 81 yrs. old. While I enjoy watching you catch fish, it's really helpful to me to see you struggle on a tough day. That's what a lot of my days look like and it's so easy to get discouraged.
I love how you educate your viewers, it helps us to catch more fish. I really liked how you did this challenge. This relates to a lot of new fishermen how are just learning where to fish on a lake. Thank you
As mentioned before my favorite part is that you’re willing to show us the fails. As they are they best learning opportunities for oneself. Keep up the great content! I enjoy your humbleness and simplicity to bass fishing.
It’s important to experience failure as a part of growth, professionally and personally. Thank you for being open and transparent and not just putting some glitter on a reel to get views.
My favorite part: positive attitude when the fish were not cooperating and I always love it when you illustrate the lake and what you are looking to do.
Thanks
Such a great real video. Really appreciate watching your process and that you were not afraid to show me that 3 fish in 8 hours doesn’t get yah down. It is amazing how all the bites can come in 10 minutes of a whole day.
I appreciate that you showed us the struggle versus just fish catches. The struggle is real for most of us early season cold water bass fishing. So seeing you struggle and talk about it provides content that most viewers can relate to this time of year on the water. We are almost to ice out in my neck of the woods and the next two to three weeks will be all about the struggle....
My favorite part of the video is that when you lost all hope you kept on trying new things to try and get a bite. That is where I loose some motivation when it comes to fishing....way to keep after it! Thanks for all the videos and hard work! You motivate me to keep trying new things with fishing! Keep up the content!!
I love the fact that you keep it real w your subscribers even on tough fishing days, it makes for more relatable content and the breakdown on what structures you look for to catch fish rlly helps me down here in SoCal👊🏽🤙🏽
Best part of the video is the integrity you showed by not splicing in footage of a similar lake with a couple 8 pounders. Much respect. Just found your channel a couple months ago, but truly enjoying the content. Keep it up!
The absolutely best type of u tube video anyone can make for bass fishing. Period Thanks
Fished all my life (72 years) but got away from it for a few years. I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed (line, rods, reels, lures) the past 15 years. I found BassFishingHQ this morning and have watched 7 videos so far today. I really like your teaching and presentation. Thank you!
You learn most from your bad days on the water.
Breaking down the water was best part to me.
Thank you.
Great video. I sent this to a friend of mine who is emphatic about purchasing livescope to prove to him that even someone with extensive experience with the device isn't always going to load the boat and crush competition. Many factors are at play in the world of bass fishing, not just electronics. He is of the opinion that having it will allow him to dominate in tournaments and I cannot convince him that is just not the case. Keep sharing content, greatly appreciated.
Much like my less than fruitful fishing days, it's always a learning experience. Being that I struggle a little too often with new bodies of water, the best part of this video for me was that it reassured to see that even someone with as much fishing knowledge as you isn't always shredding it every single experience. Just started fishing last year and I'd like to say I'm self-taught, but that wouldn't be true because your videos have been guiding me along the way. PB so far is a 5 pounder from a pond earlier this year, but I'm looking forward to more of your content that'll help me pump up those rookie numbers. Keep em comin!
My favorite part of the video was you explaining your strategy going into the day. I recall hearing you talk about the lake arms and highways in many other videos so it was nice to see you trying to apply that strategy on a new lake.
My favorite part of the video is you are so humbling. You kept a positive attitude and your always getting something out of each experience on the water. FISH ON!
Love the rawness you show of fishing! Makes your content more relatable to myself and others. That we all have had those tough days on the water. Keep the content coming
I cannot express how much I appreciate your sharing the lake break down thought process. Your teaching style and explanations are great. I also appreciate you are not completely focused or reliant upon your electronics. You were using all the tools available which is a great example to all beginner/intermediate bass anglers such as myself. Probably the most useful thing I gain from experts is how quickly they will move on when fishing is slow. I see people running banks all day in the same locations week after week regardless of the time of year and I see people patrolling and sitting on the "community off shore hot spots". I am hoping to one day to put it all together where I can go beyond the local knowledge and find fish is less well known areas of the lake through a process of elimination combined with educated approximation on location and depth while using electronics to locate structure, cover, bait and fish. Although this day was not an active bite it is nice to know that even the experts have a slow day from time to time. Your channel is a must see for me.
It's so great to finally see a fishing RUclipsr that expresses how hard fishing can be. Often, creators censor bad days when they get skunked, and it gets discouraging for the average joe like me. Thanks for your dedication to your subs bro. Your tips have really helped me out with my bass game.
I love these kind of videos. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I like your mind set about what to fish and how long to do it. Post frontal is tough for anyone. At least you were out on the water enjoying life.
Really appreciate seeing guys who make it look easy most of the time having a hard time. Makes me feel a bit better about my fishing abilities.
I'm a traditional salt water angler who has discovered the world of bass fishing. Yesterday I fished lake Jordan next to where you were and had a pb. Love your direct style and simple delivery of bass fishing information. "More steak and less sizzle" appeals to me and makes me return to your channel. Keep up the good work and if you want to experience the combination of fresh and salt water fishing head to the Carolina coastal town if Wilmington and I'll put you on some fish.
I loved the way that you were so happy at 17:59 and loving the DT6, make you looks like a very typical angler and not just a pro. Love your video.
My favorite part of the video was you continuing to fish and not give up even when the bite got tough. It helps remind me that it’s supposed to be about enjoying your time on the water, instead of just calling it quits and getting frustrated. As always, another awesome video!
Best part is your honesty. That goes for ever since I've watched you. Fishing is tough and alot of people don't understand that. You really drive that home for me. And your from Ohio, I'm from Michigan. Keep up the great videos!
want to say you are truly one of my favorite fishing creators
You are very genuine and passionate about bass fishing and you don't only have allot of knowledge about it
but you also know how to break it down and teach it in a way anyone can understand which is talent in itself.
So I would say I like how you explain your thought process in your vid.
It's easy to see you take pride in what you do
Man the whole vid is great going out there with your back against the wall starting out. Cold front just blew through, never been there, and highly pressured you accepted the challenges. A bad day on the water is better than any day at the office bad, good, or indifferent. Glad to see you back making new vids. Thank you for letting us see how you best break down the lake buddy and better fishing next time!!!
I really liked how you broke down the lake and the fact that you didn't reach your goal, shows that you are not afraid to show people that even though you can fish more times than others that you can still not have good days. Great video and keep up the great content.
My favorite part is when you said this is what fishing is really like. Couldn’t have said it any better it’s called fishing not catching. It’s all about those moments when you actually successfully catch a bunch of fish is what makes it all worth the while of going and putting the time into it.
Tyler, I liked the fact that though the fishing was tough you kept grinding all the way until the end.
I think it’s a great lesson for us to keep fishing, keep moving, because you never know when you are going to land on two 5 pounders and get your planned limit.
Thanks for the great video content!
My favorite part is just breaking down a new body of water. I struggle with that mightily. I tend to stick with patterns that I think should work too long. I love the channel. Don't be discouraged. That's what it's called fishing and not catching. Keep the vids coming!
I appreciate the fact that you show the failures as well as the success. I learned a lot about working a creek for bass. I am new to the sport and your help is greatly appreciated.
I enjoyed you sharing your game plan. It shows how much time you take to devise a game plan in order to achieve success. Most people just go out with no plan or anything. You can’t always rely on “luck.”
My favorite part(s) is the tenacity you show and the methodical approach to catching fish. Thank you for all your great videos.
This video shows exactly what I have taught my boys. Not everyday is a great day to catch fish, but everyday is a good day to go and learn. The more time on the water the more knowledge you have and eventually it all adds up to a great day of fishing.
My favorite part was you never gave up. I’ve had many trips to new lakes just like that. But it’s that one good trip that keeps us going.
My favorite part with this video and your channel in general is you show us that your a real fisherman like the rest of us. We all have good days and days that we kick our butts kicked. Thank you and keep them coming!
Thanks for showing how to breakdown a new lake. I have had some terrible days on new lakes but every day I can be on the water fishing is a great day!
I've only really been fishing for a couple years now. I have learned most of my fishing knowledge from you. I have fished all winter trying to practice on techniques with different lures. Now that the water has warmed up I've been catching fish almost every time I'm out. I'm teaching my boys to fish too. Thank you.
Love your channel, I'm just getting into bass fishing . fished for years a little hear and there, im 57yrs old and been disabled for a couple of years so when I'm feeling well enough im on the water wish i could go every day. Your channel has been awesome and helped me more than you can know. still so much to learn. just know your are appreciated keep up the good work and tight lines.
My favorite part was gaining knowledge on breaking down a body of water. As a beginner angler, I need more info like this. I really enjoy your videos and have become a better angler because of them. Thank you!
My favorite part was you explaining in how you tackle a new lake. I'm a total beginner and have no idea what i should do to prep so it was very helpful!!
I really like that you didn't quit. You keep trying. Admire your positive attitude. Enjoy all your videos.
First just wanted to say I always appreciate your videos and find them very informative. I am particularly new to spring Bass fishing so the thing I actually found most helpful was right at the beginning, but basically all the information about how air temperatures and also water temperatures effect the basses behavior and then showing the tools you use to gather this information! Gives me a good way to look at spots to check out nearby!
What a great video. What made it great for me is that i have old school skills to find fish. Just a striker 4 nothing fancy and get jealous of people that have great boats and equipment. It show me that old school way with all the equipment doesn't always produce fish. You rely still on temp. Visual. Barometric Preasure . Water color, time of year, and fishing knowledge to get the job done along with your equipment. Makes me feel more confident that i am not doing anything wrong. Thanks for showing that video. Fishing is truly fishing. Love your videos
Favorite part of the video was the beginning, the end, and everything in between!! Just like all your videos! Always learn from you and really appreciate your knowledge and honesty. One of my favorite content creators on RUclips! Keep ‘em coming.
I watch pretty much every video you put out. I like that you just do you. Don’t try and copy stuff. Good story teller and provide great teaching. I like the overall realism of it and that you just share from experience. Thank you
My favorite part is how you hold your composure with how rough of a day it is. Everyone has there's good days and bad days and you showed even a RUclipsr can shake it off and move on. Keep up the good work and great videos.
The knowledge you pass on is the best part of your videos. You are thorough. I'm definitely going to use the techniques in the tournaments I'm in!
Loved the postive attitude, "this is fishing". There're good days and bad days, just have to keep getting ourselves out there.
Thanks for this real time lesson. I liked learning how to break down the lake to have an initial plan and then adjusting to what the lake was offering. This will help me with learning the lake I primarily fish better.
My favorite part was the entire video, you took us viewers along even though it was a new lake and there was a chance that you wouldn't have a great day...that takes courage and commitment to your viewers and showing them how to break down a new lake and improve their fishing even though you weren't having a great day. Big kudos to you, most RUclipsr's only show when they are successful and catching giants...it took guts to show us when you had an off day and explained that it isn't all glory and big fish, sometimes despite everything you try the fish just aren't biting and you have a bad day and that happens whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro like you. Keep the videos coming Ty!!!
I always appreciate your insight on how to plot the lake to find where the bass are hiding, especially on a lake you have never fished before. Too bad you didn't make your goal, but I think one viewer will be very happy you didn't! Thanks for the video Tyler! Keep'em coming!
My favorite part was the explanation of how you think about breaking down a new lake, helps me to learn how to fish even in familiar waters!
I really appreciate the lake breakdown analysis. We all have those tough days on the water. I hit lakes all the time that I have never fished before and swing and miss more times then landing a ton of bass. Great video as always.
I feel your pain, but know this. I and many other people learned from this video. Please continue this series. Breaking down new water is the toughest part of fishing. Much more difficult than going to your home lake you have fished a hundred times. Keep grinding Tyler!!!
My favorite part of this video is the fact that you failed to reach your goal but made it and let it realistic. In my opinion television and other RUclipsr’s are starting to ruin the real expectations of fishing - catching on every cast, or catching 50lb bags, etc. Thanks for keeping it real.
