I know people have been on you for not doing these types of videos and I understand how it takes time to put something like this together but man it is worth the wait!! the best instructional fishing youtuber!!!
I'm fairly new to your channel. I wanted to thank you for your vids and insight because within just a months time, I have been able to become a much better fisherman, and have been able to teach my wife and my two year old son to not just fish, but to catch and enjoy fishing very much! Recently with summer and hotter weather, it got pretty hard for a couple days, checked out a couple of your vids that made sense for the conditions, learned how to tie on drop shot and Carolina rigs and we started to catch some really nice numbers again! It's all thanks to you Flukemaster and your vids! We fish almost everyday, if I didn't come across your channel, I don't think my family and I would have enjoyed it as much. So here's to you! Thank you, you are the man!
Flukemaster, I've been watching your videos for a few years now and wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and dedication to teaching us. I can't tell you how much your videos and techniques have helped me improve my fishing game! Congrats on "buying the farm" and the recent advances in your own life. If anyone deserves it, it's you! Have you ever thought about doing a video along the Potomac River in the Northern VA area? Lots of good bass, strikers and snakeheads! Could make some good videos!
One of the best if not the best how to for finding bass I have ever seen. Showing the lake map and sonar for what you were seeing and looking for was a big plus. Keep up the hard work Gene!
Great video. Helped me a lot. I'm catching a lot more fish now. I've been watching your videos for awhile and your pretty much my go to person to help me catch fish. I'd say 75% of my fishing knowledge came from your videos. Thanks Fluke
Best bass video I have seen. Love hearing your thought process, seeing the graph, and watching the struggle. Excellent cinematography as well. The GoPro is great, but the shallow depth of field from your real camera is just beautiful. Thumbs up for the twilight time lapse as well. 10/10. Keep it up.
+ThunderCoopersmith you don't need any electronics bass are every where man at least where I live in nh it's not a challenging fish at all throw a rubber worm in the water and you'll catch a fish now try Muskie or pike even trout fishing is where the challenge is at
+Ryan Harris LK Well bass are definitely a challenge fish, hence the Bass master series. There's a reason you've never heard of catfish masters, because it's definitely not a challenge. But it's more so hear because apparently it isn't like it is there.
Fluke your videos have gotten AWESOME. Hats off to the editor. I've always enjoyed watching but you've really stepped it up big time since going full time. And of course I always learn a ton. Thank you and keep up the good work.
THIS is the reason I subscribed to your channel. You excel at these detailed how-to videos and I will keep watching as long as you put these out. Thanks!
I'm sure its difficult and frustrating putting up videos like this. I know you've got other vids outlining how you break down lakes and find fish but these are absolutely your best videos! Thanks for what you do! Keep a tight line!
Im liking these edited videos a lot more with the time lapses. Been watching your channel for a couple years now. Love to see the progress of your channel. Keep it up
Just wanted to tell you that you give me something to look forward to all the time. You are very fun to watch but most importantly I learn something from every video! Keep up the great work
Gene has got more talent in the tip of his pinky then Flair, AP, Jon B, or 1Rod. I don't know what all these other comments are. Keep doing what your doing Gene. Your the best.
Keep the videos coming Fluke, have learned alot from you. Very informative really appreciate the time you invest in this. Great editor, thumbs up to you Matt.
Gene! This is some of your all time best work. Old school Flukemaster style content. Just improved in every way. Maybe did not catch tons of fish but it does not matter. There is much to be learned watching this video, everything is explained well, we can understand the hows and whys. I prefer to learn how to find a few bites when it is tough on a public lake over watching youtubers catch 8 pounders on private stocked ponds. This is the Gene Jensen I subscribed to years ago!
nice video, Palestine being one of my home lakes, Summer is tough....C-rigs for sure...love the Electronics breakdown....nicely done . and the the time lapse...wow
Great quality, great instructions, good to see the entire process of fishing! lots of kids see videos of everyone just catching bass, what they don't see if the hard work that goes into it, and the failed attempts! learned a lot!
Now this is the type of videos I enjoy watching!! Video quality and production like this is exactly what I want try to achieve in my videos. 2 Thumbs up Gene!!
Great video Gene. What do you think about 70-75F temperature ? Are they going to hang around 1-2 feet of water in the glaring sun still under grass/lilpads, even if it's not Texas style water temp? I can't find largemouths when it gets too hot. I've never seen one in over 5 feet of water. I fish a river mainly.
Great video! Would like to see more video of you breaking down different lakes (types of lakes) during different times of the year. I like the way you tied your electronics into the video as well.
Great video masterfluke meister! Love ur videos, they all seem to help out tremendously and have learned a ton! Preciate all the work you do to bring kmowledge to us! I have tons of questions but one stands out in this video, why the plum crazy in deep water?? Being that red is usually the first to disappear... Another is a good medium heavy rod for Texas rigs and jigs in moderate cover for around the 100 mark?? Thanks again!!
Thanks Gene For that hard work and know how to find summer time bass, I had't caught a good bass since March just about ready to throw in the towel but this gives me hope plus i'm still trying to learn this Helix 10 great fish finder but Its smarter than me Keep plugging out those videos and see you out on the water. Fred
I am glad to know you have bad days too. Sometimes I think its just me when you watch all these people catching fish all the time haha. Its easy to get discouraged when the bite gets tough.
Hey, Gene, thanks for the video. I've been waiting a long time for another summer informational video. I have a scenario for you. The only time I get to fish out of a boat (a 14 ft Jon boat) is during the summer at my wife's family's lake house. it's a TVA lake in TN (Center Hill lake if you were wondering). I only really get to fish from 5 am to 9 and am predominantly hitting the bank with buzzbaits since I can cover water and only have a 30 lb hand controlled trolling motor for boat control. It's a really steep and rocky lake. I've been skunked the last few times I was out and am wondering what you would do in a similar situation with a really crappy piranha fish finder that can't take speeds faster than trolling?
Hey Gene, how about a video of you breaking down a lake from a kayak. I think there are a lot of viewers who would really benefit from it. (where to start, why, electronics, etc). Tracking down bass from a kayak brings some different challenges into play than when fishing from a boat. would really enjoy your take on it.
your videographer and editor are amazing man, everything was on point. and i learned some new things about those tricky summer bass, good video Gene! :D
Youve taught me alot of what i know about fishing.. Thank you.. Your videos were pretty good. But now theyre just great.. The quality and edits are amazing. Keep it reel!!!
thanks gene! I just got the new elite 7ti totalscan. I needed this video. I'm going to start fishing off shore or at least try, haha! I have no patience for it. I find that I need a target to cast at. thanks a bunch.
Thanks I'm having a hard time at Sml va. It's a post spawn transition at high 72 to 78 degree water. I've caught 2 fish in 3 tournaments. Not to good lol. Deep mountain reservoir with creeks and heavy traffic and pressure.
Watch your videos with my son. He's 5 and young but I think he enjoys fishing (that or he just enjoys spending time with me and just doesn't like to say it). I always learn a few things (admittedly a saltwater fisherman most my life as I live on the gulf coast). Our new move changed that as there is about a 1/4-1/2 acre pond in the back yard so it's good easy practice. I enjoy fishing soft plastic a lot more here as well, you know there is fish in it. Don't always the case with saltwater and piers.
I can tell you didn't fish that much because your camera shots were awesome! Very nice footage and angles. That time lapse was amazing! A lot of information. Thanks for posting!
When you are fishing deep do you still stay above the thermocline? Thermocline at my local lake is at 12-14' right now, so I have been looking off points where the bottom is right at the level of the thermocline, but the lake gets as deep as ~30' in spots and I haven't looked that deep.
Professional quality here. I know this caliber of video takes a lot of footage, and a lot of hours editing, but man. these are the kind of videos I subscribed for. Thanks so much for the video. I sure could have used some of this stuff today on the water. lol
Congrats on second place in the I Cast, I have been following you for quite some time now. Hope you get to do some things with Kayak Bass Fishing, Chad Hoover. I enjoy the older videos most of all, but I will follow you and understand in order to keep up, a person does what they must. Thanks for all you do Gene, Len Bonneau
Reading those fish finding things (don't know what's it's called) looks hard. I much rather troll around banks and come up on a few honey holes. Great video btw! 👌
Always like your video before I before I watch it. You haven't disappointed me yet and it wouldn't be fair to rob you of the support if I forget to like after
Not enough people encourage people to keep trying when the fishing is tough like you do. The thrill you show when a fish is in the boat is wonderful.
I know people have been on you for not doing these types of videos and I understand how it takes time to put something like this together but man it is worth the wait!! the best instructional fishing youtuber!!!

This channel has increased in quality so much over time. Loving the videos

Thumbs up to the guys who catch big bass with out electronics
Gl doing that once bass go out deeper out of the weeds lol
+TM Miner I catch plenty of big bass in 25-30 feet of water just takes more patience and time
+TM Miner I grew up using CRigs to figure out the bottom. You don't need $2000 electronics.
+ThunderCoopersmith you don't need any electronics bass are every where man at least where I live in nh it's not a challenging fish at all throw a rubber worm in the water and you'll catch a fish now try Muskie or pike even trout fishing is where the challenge is at

I think this is your best teaching video yet. I like the new format. Keep it up Great video!!!!!
THIS is the reason I subscribed to your channel. You excel at these detailed how-to videos and I will keep watching as long as you put these out. Thanks!
Thanks man. I haven't given up on them. They are still a priority but they just take a lot of time and can't be done every day.
As someone who's been hitting new lakes on a boat,this is the most informative video you've ever done!
I'm sure its difficult and frustrating putting up videos like this. I know you've got other vids outlining how you break down lakes and find fish but these are absolutely your best videos! Thanks for what you do! Keep a tight line!
Im liking these edited videos a lot more with the time lapses. Been watching your channel for a couple years now. Love to see the progress of your channel. Keep it up

Stellar how-to video, as always. And your videography getting better and better. Best fishing channel on TH-cam.
Great video Gene! You're always fun to watch and this episode was very informative
Probably one of the best summer videos I have watched! Thank you Flukemaster!
Photography in this video was amazing! Good information too! Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Ben
This is the best one of the different openings to your videos. Catchy tune👍

Now this is the type of videos I enjoy watching!! Video quality and production like this is exactly what I want try to achieve in my videos. 2 Thumbs up Gene!!
Thanks man. I hope to do more of these with Matt my editor/photographer. He lives half way across the country though.
Great video, Gene! This is by-far my favorite how-to topic and really appreciate the detail you provided. I could watch these type of videos all day!
The time lapse from 8:29-8:45 are amazing!
It really is!
The Flukemaster doing what he does best!! Man I wish I could fish with you for a just morning or afternoon feel like I would learn a lot.
Love the video. Great video quality and great camera angles! I loved how you went through the story of how you broke down the lake. Perfect.
Great video Gene! Production quality was incredible and the information was explained very well. By far the best fishing channel on TH-cam!
Great Video Gene! I watch a lot of your videos don’t know how I haven’t seen this one before now. Keep the great content coming. Thanks
I do a lot of poor boy fishing at Lake Palestine off the spillway. Learning much from you're videos. Thanks Sir
the explanation as to how warm water affects bass was great. i get off work in 15 minutes and im heading straight to pond with a fountain in it
Excellent video Gene. This is TV quality man, I learned alot and now I'm gonna hit the water!
Gene I'd like to thank you for your videos, they have made me a smarter and even better fishermen! Love the content.
Gene never give up! And thanks for showing us tenacity, it ain't always easy but it sure is fun!
You got that right!
Gene, I have to say, the editing in these videos is phenomenal. Keep up the hard work.
Matt is awesome. I can't believe how good he can make me look.
Gene..... you are the man!!! I wont even hold the fact you're a UGA fan against you. Go Jackets!!!!!!
SUCH A COOL TIMELAPSE and the fishing video was super informative. These videos kick ass Gene
Thanks
Great video Gene. What do you think about 70-75F temperature ? Are they going to hang around 1-2 feet of water in the glaring sun still under grass/lilpads, even if it's not Texas style water temp? I can't find largemouths when it gets too hot. I've never seen one in over 5 feet of water. I fish a river mainly.
I get excited every time I turn on a new video!
Great video! Would like to see more video of you breaking down different lakes (types of lakes) during different times of the year. I like the way you tied your electronics into the video as well.
I needed this video...thanks again. Btw, I like your new intro and it looks like the production has changed a bit. Looks awesome.
The new audio and video quality are super nice! And the angles you used were on point as well gene. Keep it up! Btw the time lapse was super nice
Wow. Great video! With the editing you can really take advantage of teaching longer process concepts like searching. Learned a lot!
Thanks for the information, I definitely need all the help I can get in the summer.
Amazing video!!! Not a boat owner but sure did learn A LOT!!!! Thanks jene
Great video masterfluke meister! Love ur videos, they all seem to help out tremendously and have learned a ton! Preciate all the work you do to bring kmowledge to us!

Another is a good medium heavy rod for Texas rigs and jigs in moderate cover for around the 100 mark?? Thanks again!!
When you are flipping and fishing with braid do you use a leader? (when/ when not)? Also... would you recommend using braid on a spinning reel?
Thanks Gene For that hard work and know how to find summer time bass, I had't caught a good bass since March just about ready to throw in the towel but this gives me hope plus i'm still trying to learn this Helix 10 great fish finder but Its smarter than me Keep plugging out those videos and see you out on the water.

Absolutely top notch, high quality video! Excellent job!
Thanks
I am glad to know you have bad days too. Sometimes I think its just me when you watch all these people catching fish all the time haha. Its easy to get discouraged when the bite gets tough.
Awesome vid! Very informative. Im fighting the heat in FL right now! Hopefully all the water don't evaporate!

Oh man that time lapse was pretty awesome. Great information Gene
WOW-ZUH! That quality was insane! Very well done sir, Palestine is a huge lake so I'm sure it was quite the challenge.
Hey Gene, how about a video of you breaking down a lake from a kayak. I think there are a lot of viewers who would really benefit from it. (where to start, why, electronics, etc). Tracking down bass from a kayak brings some different challenges into play than when fishing from a boat. would really enjoy your take on it.
Great video!! I like the explanation on how to use the fish finder. The video quality was top notch.
Thanks Jim
your videographer and editor are amazing man, everything was on point. and i learned some new things about those tricky summer bass, good video Gene! :D
Youve taught me alot of what i know about fishing.. Thank you.. Your videos were pretty good. But now theyre just great.. The quality and edits are amazing. Keep it reel!!!

Thanks man
great video Gene very informative thanks for the tips I will be trying them out tomorrow when i go to the lake
Really good video Gene. Looking forward to videos from ICast. Enjoy.
Great video. Summer time fishing in Texas, can be pretty discouraging.
I enjoyed this video and would like to more video like this one. I am trying to learn how to use my electronics and I found this very helpful.
That time lapse was crazy beautiful.
Thanks Lawson, My editor is a stud
Excellent video thank you for sharing !
Great footage by Matt. Hope you enjoyed your time in Texas.
I did. Matt and I are going to have to do that more often
Very helpful video! Fantastic footage too
thanks gene! I just got the new elite 7ti totalscan. I needed this video. I'm going to start fishing off shore or at least try, haha! I have no patience for it. I find that I need a target to cast at. thanks a bunch.
IMO this is the best video you've made in quite some time. Really enjoyed it. Keep it up!
all your videos are great but best one so far!!! more videos like this man
Love the new intro compared to the old one. Keep it up.
Thanks I'm having a hard time at Sml va. It's a post spawn transition at high 72 to 78 degree water. I've caught 2 fish in 3 tournaments. Not to good lol. Deep mountain reservoir with creeks and heavy traffic and pressure.
Hey Flukemastr. Love your videos! Which fish finder do you use in this video? And how easy to use is it? Thanks :)
the Colombia pfg is incredible! I love it
Watch your videos with my son. He's 5 and young but I think he enjoys fishing (that or he just enjoys spending time with me and just doesn't like to say it). I always learn a few things (admittedly a saltwater fisherman most my life as I live on the gulf coast).

I enjoy fishing soft plastic a lot more here as well, you know there is fish in it. Don't always the case with saltwater and piers.
very cool video, in Portugal the summer is very hot (+40 is normal) and will take some tips to use here
Great video I'm going fishing in hot water soon so this will help a ton keep up these types of videos
Fantastic video, Would love to see more videos explaining what you're seeing on the Fish Finder.
Awesome Video. Thanks for teaching!
Gene, do you mark waypoints when you're fishing deep like that? Couldn't see any on your graph.
I can tell you didn't fish that much because your camera shots were awesome! Very nice footage and angles. That time lapse was amazing! A lot of information. Thanks for posting!
LOL. I had a cameraman on this trip. I hope to do that more often.
When you are fishing deep do you still stay above the thermocline? Thermocline at my local lake is at 12-14' right now, so I have been looking off points where the bottom is right at the level of the thermocline, but the lake gets as deep as ~30' in spots and I haven't looked that deep.
+Alex Ciarlillo just a little above it. 5ft or so above
Another great video man! Great information for a young fisherman like me
love the style of the video! Beautiful Cinematics!

cool video man love watching your vids. How well is the bio spawn? Would that be a good investment? Thanks
Nice crocs and even greater video. Keep it up!
Reading those fish finding things (don't know what's it's called) looks hard. I much rather troll around banks and come up on a few honey holes. Great video btw! 👌
Always like your video before I before I watch it. You haven't disappointed me yet and it wouldn't be fair to rob you of the support if I forget to like after
not gonna lie...you have been my favorite fishing channel..always so informative!! thanks for the video!
when you gonna make a trip to california??
great video!! you are by far the best at instructional videos ...i use your tips a lot here near waco.
Thank you for making this vid. Really helped.
