      Not quite, because on a foul hooking the fish actually went for a bait and either missed it or the hookset missed and got the fish while swimming away. This guy is using the same technique I use to snatch hook mullet for bait when there’s large schools around but too far away for me to cast net.

      Agreed! Kudos for sure. I'd never heard of "snagging" until now. Never really thought about fishing any other way that traditional hook/lure, line, rod, and reel. I'm not a big fan of bow fishing. I really don't like it. To each his own, but I don't like it. But as far as "snagging" a fish, I never thought of that. Maybe I'm just naive, but evidently it is definitely a thing... and a thing that some people do.

      @@poysunivey yeah, I have a friend up in the Northeast who bow fishes carp. And it's cool... I just don't have any interest in it. I'm sure it has its challenges. I'm not a hunter either, so bows and guns aren't my thing. I hunted a very little bit when I was a kid, but not much. Honestly, watching my uncle skin and clean a deer at 6 years old kinda turned me off. Which is weird because I've cleaned at least 1000 catfish in my life, as well as a few other fish... but I grew up catfishing the James River in Virginia, and it was normal to catch 75-100 cats in a weekend back then. I ate ALOT of catfish growing up, lol. But I think it had something to do with the flesh and tissue of an "animal" that threw me. I know, I know... I eat beef, venison, lamb, etc... I can't explain it. Now I'll do what I have to do if the crap hits the fan and all of this "establishment" comes crumbling down and the only way to survive is to hunt. Lol, but I'll definitely fish first 😂. Anyway, I'm not knocking those who bowfish... it just doesn't interest me personally. As long as you ain't snagging fish in tournaments, and then planting fish to make the limit and more weight... then you're OK in my book. Peace my friend! ✌️🙏😝

    You can tell he's been doing this for YEARS . . . look how refined his 'technique' is. Those are NOT hook sets that you'd see from someone who just saw their bait being eaten. They are quick 'flicks' to just 'hang-nail' the fish. Then notice how he backs way off on the pressure (maybe even thumbs the spool in free-spool) . . . and slowly drags (or gets dragged) the fish out to deeper water. He barely puts enough pressure on them so the weighted treble doesn't rip out, or shake-out on a jump, and just wears them out. It sure ain't this cats first rodeo. . . . that my friends is a professional cheater (and criminal) caught red-handed. Kudos to Kellen for the commitment and dedication compiling all the footage and a great article. A very sad day for bass fishing . . . hopefully in some way there can be some positivity that comes out of all this moving forward. I'm also glad there is closure for all those involved and affected by this yoyo.

      A barbed hook is not going to easily toss in any circumstances embedded into the fish's skin. We have all foul hooked fish and know how nightmarish it can be to remove hooks from the outer flesh as opposed to the mouth. But that aside, he very clearly is throwing a snagging rig and blatantly snagging bass. But that's why snag fishing is literally the most pathetic way to fish. I am all for it if you fish for sustenance and have the freedom to harvest fish, but it's rightfully illegal in the majority of the US. It's extremely effective, it's extremely dangerous for the fish and it's literally the most talentless skill to have in the world. I could catch so many more fish if I just didn't have any respect for them at all.

      Update:
      I figured out what he was throwing after reading the article.
      It's a white double tail grub, on a massive treble hook, with a weight.
      It's so he can see where his hook is relative to the fish, so he can snag the fish on sight.

      the fish don't care about being caught in the spawn.. but yes don't snag fish on purpose on the side of the face.. though it does happen when you fish legit.. when using some baits because some baits like jerk baits ect have 2-3 treble hooks on them and sometimes it hooks the bass in other places but to do it on purpose is not sporting.. that's why its illegal.. sporting is to trick the fish into biting your bait.

    • @jdogg661420
      @jdogg661420 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      also for records, there is a strict rule.. not even if its an accident if the fish is snagged it doesn't count at least one hook has to be in its mouth to be a legit catch for a record... and he has many records....

    GREAT WORK!!! This AND your detailed article about his entire "career" of cheating & lying needs to be seen by everyone, not just bass anglers. I don't care if anyone believes me or not, but there was something about Mike Long's looks & demeanor I NEVER liked, even way back when he first became "nationally famous".........I couldn't put my finger on it, but so help me, my spidey senses spiked every time I saw this low-life SOB on video or pix & articles in bass fishing magazines. All that time, I couldn't explain or understand "why", but I just didn't like this bastard. This isn't the first time my gut telling me that a certain person is a low-life scumbag, turned out to be right. He should be BANNED from all forms of fishing nation-wide, forced to pay back all of his tournament winnings & all contracts & endorsements cancelled, and especially rescind ALL of his so-called "lake record bass catches". The straw that broke the camel's back is when he intimidated, threatened to harm, and literally stalked a 13 year old boy & his father in and around their very own home at night on multiple occasions, simply because they caught Mike Long red-handed with large live bass in a tank, right beside his boat in his garage, only a day before a tournament that he would win with those very fish. Not to mention the fact he loosened the lugnuts on the boat trailer and truck of at least several different people, resulting in those boat trailer wheels falling off, and nearly falling off of the truck while it was being driven. All of these people had ratted Mike Long out for his repeated cheating in tournaments. THAT is attempted murder!!!

    12:13 perfectly captures the relief felt after finally landing that behemoth you've been trying to snag all spring. The outside of a big bass's head is really hard, and that treble hook doesn't always set that well. Sure, you can play the fish and wear them down until they're practically dead, but when your anxiety is peaking all you can see is that treble hook flying out and your Instagram shot going to hell. Huge kudos to SDFish for catching this pivotal moment in my fishing career.
