Your not cheating with Pamela it is a tool. The people that say its cheating don't know how or can't figure out how to properly use one. All of the pros use them and no one says they are cheating and you can tell which ones have it figured out and the ones who don't and you definitely have it figured out. I've told you this before you are probably the best deep water fisherman on TH-cam and thats because you have put in the time to actually figure out how to properly use all the tools you have at your disposal. And thats why I watch because I always learn something. Your a beast dude. Keep doing your thing
That was the first thought I had when he posted the first video showing the two little ponds side by side join them together and have larger habitat and potentially bigger fish
You are one of the reasons I got into bass fishing more. Watch your channel all the time. Your videos are awesome and learn something new from each video. Thank you
Great video,as always. Cool to see people being good on the water. Here most shore fisherman are really cool,offer to share area,tips,etc. I almost always end up fishing with someone else for a while. Even helped a few newbies catch their first fish,which is always fun. One of these days i will get a video or two out.
Great way to show how to share the lake. Lots of people out there think they own every hole on every body of water and don't respect anyone else's space.
Once a again a banger of a video some good education and you are so right to praise the other fella in his boat and as you said just how people should behave prof's and respect to you both 😊the number of times I have dropped my pik and let out 80 yards of warp and anchor rope in tidal waters only to have some one pitch in near it is rude and just wrong. Those glide baits get a better stamp of fish quality over quantity 👌
I have noticed a surge in on-the-water confrontations in the last 10 years. Back in the day, you just waved to each other and kept fishing. Etiquette was always observed.
That's just part of being a badass bass fisherman.... you gotta be an A-hole to everyone. Be rude at the boat launch, drive by other fisherman doing 80mph while your 30ft away, throw your baits 10ft behind my boat while I'm bluegill fishing. Y'all have a bad image for good reasons.
@@texyntv9325 That's the thing... Here in central Alabama they always waved back. They have been wishing for us to drop dead. But, they always waved. Passive aggressive civility.
I'm in the uk. I would love to go fishing in the USA. Realy enjoy your videos and always try out the tactics you use to catch some fish. Please keep the amazing videos coming. It would be a pleasure to meet you one day
I found a Klash floating in the river a while back. When I looked it up, they were going for $60 - $80. Crazy that they're going as high as they are now.
Man I wish the people fishing on the pond I was at tonight were as respectful as that guys in the boat or you as well. Everytime I went to a new spot they either ended up hopscotching me or right next to me as if they came with me. Normally I would have lost my shit but luckily I was only looking to burn up an hour lol.
Proper fishing etiquette should always be practiced especially on those really hot tough days. I think big lakes should make new anglers to the area go through a “Proper boating etiquette” coarse before being able to do any kind of water sports on the lake. I think it would help bring some a$$ holes down a few pegs.There is a lake on a military base in Alabama that makes all boaters do it and seems to work especially if you have a fear of being reported and you always have a camera or a GoPro recording…I’ve had to report a few myself…keep it up man, love the content!!
I’d give my left one to go fishing with you haha 😂 but seriously been trying to get out fishing but no time so I been be binge watching your content on here you’re the #1 fishing TH-camr in my opinion. keep up with the good content
I just got my okuma sbx rod for my ghost an klash 9 and that rod is so nice used it today got a follower on ghost an thru a Berkley power wiggler swim-bait and nailed her. She was still spawning and was 4.4 lber it was so sick even tho I didn't get her on the ghost I still was able to get her to bite and landed 2 others on the power wiggler.
@@joeyhalbrook9818 who said I was telling on anyone? I’m just letting the dude know that taking fish from public waters and transporting them to private water is illegal.
Alligators like top water baits.. hard to fish a frog in some places around here. Even if you don’t see any gators, start splashing a top water around and they will show themselves..
I was really hoping when u said a sub gifted you a bait, that it was gonna be a new hinkle! 😭 The klash series are cool, lots of different modes you can put them in but i still love my glides. Ive been through my fair share of DRT baits
Ive been watching ypu for 3 threes and i think thats the first time ive headd ypu mention sharpening ypur hooks. Ive always wondered about how often or if certain types do and dont need sharpening. Coupd be a good vid idea..
The gas exchange of CO2 / O2 for water occurs at the surface. It’s the ripples on the surface that really increase the gas exchange. During hot, calm days, the O2 levels can drop relatively quick. Of course plants will be producing lots of dissolved oxygen on sunny days. Combined with shaded hiding spots for ambushing prey, it’s no surprise they are where you found them. Tight lines!
Couple weeks ago me and my brother were fishing a pad line with the troller...kayaker cut across the lake and cut us off, I say how that is bullshit and fisherman's etiquette, my brother says no such thing and we don't own the lake. We are about to leave later that night and a guy pulls anchor and comes and cuts us off and my brother gets pissed lol amazing how that fisherman's etiquette thing comes back around.
You mention everything being weird them not being where they normally are exc. I fish massachusetts rhode island area and it has been exactly the same i have no idea what is going on but fishing has been so unusual this year
Dude, I know you have seen me say it.... but I'm gonna keep saying it. thank you for showing me Do-It Molds. Made 5 colors in 10 inch worms and crushed it. 👍
Had jet skiers pass within 50 yards of me while out on a boat a week ago. They passed between me and shore that was about 60 yards from me. Plenty of room to go around but heck no they had to be jerks.
Got my first super six sack Saturday and spent yesterday and today testing them out. I was crushing my buddy from the back of his boat. Can’t wait till those glide baits find their way to my mailbox.
It's crazy that that huge lure is getting absolutely annihilated by so many largemouth. That's a much bigger lure than I'm used to using. Maybe I need to reconsider my large 6th Sense lures...

Hey Ben! You should get an excavator and dig out between your two ponds at home. Get some good depth and turn it into a huge Slaunch Factory.

A little tip for big glides when they are popping the bait, try putting a small treble on the nose eyelet.

Another cool video and I agree cool interaction and very respectful on both parts so proves Karma isn’t always a beeyatch. Keep it up
Sick man love the new shades and can't wait for that bait to drop.
You should do another trip with prof, that pike and walleye video was so sick.
Man could have used a big glide like that the other day! They were doin the exact same thing waiting in the grass and ambushing up. Awesome video!🤙🏻🔥

Great job Ben😁👍!
That's typical with most fishermen, only a few times have I encountered a-holes in 50 years of fishing. Hats off to the man though!
