Love these classic clips. I wouldn't mind entire coverage of these older events.

This happened 10 days after I was born. And I know all about this. Larry Nixon is one of the greatest ever, and that's a fact.
“My Favorite Catch, From Bassmaster”!🌹
He is the General!!! My favorite bass Pro and quite a gentleman!!!👍✌🐟
Absolute legend
The moment when most big bass are lost. Heart starts pounding, adrenaline starts flowing, emotions take over.
He pushed the button on his reel and thumbed it instead of relying on the drag. He was ready for the the bull run right at the boat. The big ones will make a fool out of you if you let them.
Women too...
@@zekethefishgeek8690 He was talking about women lol.....
6’ pistol grip.
I like that he finessed the fish in like any fisherman would and not rip its ever loving head off whipping it in the boat like bassmasters
Buttttt he is a bassmaster and was in this clip?
Back in the days of real bass fishing
Ya cuz today it’s fake!
Amen
What does that even mean? 🤔
Those were the good old days. Now all tournament angling means a lot of cheating and dead bass
glaze harder kimp
Thank ya, Lord…thank ya….
I saw this on Bassmaster black in the day. This is real Bass fishing not spotlighting. Nixon is one of the best!
Of course there’s the one stupid comment
He would have used ffs if it were available.
Why don't you just buy one, fish with it, and enjoy the sport... maybe even catch a few bigger fish or more fish than you might normally before you leave this life on Earth... Try that instead of pouting about it being not fare or saying its spotlighting bass.
That spotlight doesn't make them OPEN up their face up wide and suck in water behind your bait...
Reckon the caveman that invented a spear to stick fish with got just as much jealousy from all his old school unwilling to sway even a tiny bit type hide & watch neighbors... who ALL saw that NEW FANGLED FANCY spear he was using as they watched while he was thumpin' the hell out of a big fish dinner (*with his updated gear for fish, he even got enough time NOW, to mix & make up some hushuppies...) but we're too prideful to ask for help... Reckon they were just as envious of his advantage multiplying, fish gathering new tool... But, were STILL stubborn enough to just do nothing to try to help them be more efficient, because grabbing fish with ten fingers and 2 palms pretty unsuccessful usually. The ones who asked learned, enjoyed, and caught more fish...Those others hiding in the bushes afraid to ask and only wanted to poke fun and be jealous because of fear or their pride...
Well, I BELIEVE THEY ALL STARVED TO DEATH ULTIMATELY AND REALLY NO ONE REALLY CARED... THEY WERE WAYYY TO BUSY BEING SUCCESSFUL MEN HAVING FISH DINNERS...
(*WITH HUSHPUPPIES TOO)
Think about it.
@@zekethefishgeek8690 Zeke, I've had my time on the water. I fished some Bassmaster Invational tournaments back in the 90s. It was good because you had to study contour maps and learn to read your depth finder. Now you can watch the fish like a video game. I think it takes the learning process out of fishing. No more pitching and flipping docks and flooded willows. No more finding sunken brush piles, just turn on the video screen. Remember it's fishing not catching.
Never gets old!!
I used to love watching his show Saturday mornings. Got to love them spinner baits!
I remember watching that on the Bassmaster TV show when it was first broadcast! C'mon baby, stay pegged!
Forward facing sonar in old school days? Knowledge & greatness!
He would've used it if it were available...
I promise you...
They would’ve all had them if they could
@@zekethefishgeek8690 funny enough it was available, just done on paper readout and a pain in the ass to have on the boat with you
The good ol “pistol grip” rod! 👍🏻
I still use them for some applications!
That’s how fish were caught back in the day…. no live scope. Larry Nixon was my one of my favorite fisherman.
Love the plastic pistol grip rod! Meet Larry at a bass seminar in Houston Texas "89-90"? He was the Bass Masters first Million Man! A good worm Fisherman!
He was like a football legend when I was a kid. Saturday mornings studying tv guide to find Bill dance ,Jimmy Houston , and if I was lucky Mr Al Linder
Wild how much louder trolling motors were back then
My favorite cover of bass master magazine’
Yessir 💪
He was talking dirty to that bass 😂
I meet Larry Nixon at the bass pro shops in Atlanta around 1996. He was a great guy and he loved his fans he even signed my Berkeley hat.
The pistol grip days 🤘🏼
King of the Worm
Smooth drag on that reel... quite the handshake you have there, Larry... or should we call you Daddy Megabucks?
That grip comes from my Phazer Brand of Pistol grip handle ultra tough 5 foot 6 inch medium action rod with 4 guides including the tip which are all sealed in with high impact plastic moulding process Berkley Patented in 1987 ... that rod is the key to my being in my zone when your hand gets "that Phazer Zapped shake."
What’s crazy to me is….imagine if you went back in time and offered these guys a current day $45 dollar Black Max bait caster….they’d think it was amazing technology :)
Takes me back to my pb that was also 6 lb 10 oz.. had to get on my 1 knee just like he did because it just kept pulling and pulling
Those pistol grip rod handles sure were sumtinz!..lol
Just think how fishing has changed,,,,,the Ned rig ,,the chapter bait ,,swim baits ,,,,,,,spot lock.,,,,rods ,,,reels,,,braid,,,,,,,but the bass are always the same
I remember that!! I miss the 80s oldschool TNN era! (I mean, ESPN is great, too).
Back in the day when lead weighed more.
Thank you Lord thank you 🙏
That didnt suck
Back when fishing was hard.
Look at that rod.
That troll motor sounds like a horn on a VW Beetle
The best bass and duck boats in the world are still made in Arkansas😊
There's a world of difference between eating a hotdog, and eating a hotdog at the Nathan's Hotdog Championship . One is enjoyable... ☆
That poor rod lol
Did you notice how empty the front of the boat was !!!
Yeeting a 7lb fish with 80lb test is NOT fishing
was this lake harris? anybody know?
It’s there 0:22
@@BassmasterOfficial oh yeah
Little Lake Harris
why didn’t he return it🤷♂️
The noises are a little suspect
Listen too the reel 😅😅
It sounded so bad
He put it in freespool so he could use his thumb for drag. Clicking back and forth while a fish is pulling is going to grind gears a little. We don't have to do that now as drags are better than they were then. But it's not the reel inherently sounding like that. Just a symptom of him being clever with what he's got.
Heck yeah this was real fishing and still is except for those that prefer to stare at screens all day.
Why does it matter how someone chooses to fish.
@@The_Garmin_Guru again you’re clueless and I wish it wasn’t that way because I’ve fished for 30 years in tournaments and in the last 15 watched it go to hell because of greed.
And it’s because of that greedy entitlement that you must get your way and is why you don’t wanna talk you just want what you want and not what is good for everybody more so what’s good for the fish that you so graciously need to make you popular.
If I could I would make you a $10 bet that if you take these guys that were in the top 10 and take their live scopes away and make them fish the normal way I guarantee all but maybe 1 will be in the money.
@@The_Garmin_Guru sad
@@mikehurtle my apologies that comment was meant for someone who insulted me in another comment. I don’t know how tagged you. My apologies.
back then when there is no live scope ... true skills...
What? Where's the 15 computer monitors telling you everything under the sun??😮😂😂
No scope. Surprised he caught anything.
Yeah, these days they need at least 3 scopes and 3 gps screens to be able to make one cast. It’s a real life video game now pretty sad
Hell yea. Back when you had to know how to fish and couldn't just scan the lake
Those reels sounded so bad.
When fishing was actually a challenge. Now 99% of bass fisherman use live scope and gear that allows them to manhandle these big bass
Why do these guys make sounds like they are taking a massive dump? Its really not that hard to real in a 7lb bass lol.
What no FFS how did he catch it
Where's his livescope dammit?
No livescope
And he wasn’t even staring at screen when he made the cast, unlike these days. No bass fishing skills needed anymore because all you need to do is read a live score instruction manual. Yes, I took this moment to revere the pacesetters of the better days.
Back when you actually fished and used you intellect
Good thing he didn't have 50k worth of FFS electronics to trip over......
No ffs and I enjoyed watching fishing I was a kid and seen that live thought it was a massive fish now I don’t watch at all I miss it but HATE ffs
Awful nice of ol' gristle jaws there to surrender h'self to that there sweet and very appreciative young fellar.🥲
