Appreciate the love brother! You're what I call GOOD PEOPLE! Hope to heck we can meet up and fish this year. You get up to beautiful Iowa, you got a place to crash! Keep putting out the great vids my friend!
Great video, subbed. When you showed wife and Gbaby, back ground looks like Green Screen...lol. Are there NOT any birds in the area? Keep making videos, love them.
Just to add to it. I use my iPhone XR for all my filming when I’m doing intros Outros sitting in the tackle room people ask me all the time and they can’t believe that is my iPhone I’m doing it with. If you do use the iPhone go into your settings go to your camera and make sure you change the settings of the camera to the 4K and I believe it’s 30 premium 30 frames per Second. Up until recently the editor I used was iMovie on my iPhone. It’s super simple to learn the way I put music on my videos when I use iMovie is simple I screen record a TH-cam video of the music I want and then when I edit it in I just pick audio only for that clip. The only reason I don’t use it that much anymore is it takes up too much space trying to get the clips from the GoPro plus I want to start expanding
Dude, your granddaughter was killin me!🤣🤣🤣 Man if you drag Debo out of them corn fields and put him on a tank, it'll ruin him.🤣 He's built his channel on the dinks. Love watching all you guys. Keep up the good work brother!👊 Oh, I can not stand it when people record with their phones right side up.🤦🏻♂️
I love Debo he's a great guy , and I watch tackle junky alot as well and I watch you alot , I love the passion for fishing you have , the knowledge and I love the equipment you use I love Lew's I own several setups. This summer I am going to get serious about getting my channel going . Hi to your wife and granddaughter.
As usual, you give a lot of good advice. I do reloading on my small channel. I film from my phone too mostly, except on the shooting range because I need it there for my chrono. My biggest problem is keeping my videos to a reasonable length because believe me, I can ramble lol. But man, if you do start traveling around I would love to fish with you here in south MS. I got a good, tough lake you should try.
*turns phone sideways* Good job man! Hit the sweet spots and gave me a few ideas too! Love the info download. 100% agree with the audio, get a GoPro - I can't stand watching a video with bad video... doesn't matter if you catch awesome fish, audio is huge. I STILL have problems with it. Hey to the fam!
Same here I hate audio it's always such a pain in the a$$. It's a never ending struggle. Had ya shirt on in a video a few weeks back and gave ya a shoutout.
Awesome that you encourage others to make fishing channels. I'm only fishing once maybe twice a week but I may be able to get something going myself. Tight lines man. Awesome video
That's your story tell it! You don't have to know everything you just have to tell the story of the average guy who loves fishing and tries to get better.
Well done! I just subscribed, and gave a like and hit the bell notification. I started a fledgling channel just in April of 2019 ago and I love it. I use my old IPhone 6S Plus and a wired mic. You have some great content. I have watched your sunglasses comparison video and your new bass jig gamechanger lure review. Like you I am an older man with adult children and young grandchildren (but I also have an infant and 2 toddlers). I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.
I've only watched a few videos so far, but I had to subscribe. I loved your advice about being yourself. I hope to get started soon! Wishing you continued success! 🙂
Man only southern guys can bass fish anyway !!!! Lol ur the only one I can understand !,. Fluekmaster, Debo ,. N Mr Roland M. BASSGEEK ! Oh n Brian LAT ,. The best !! Thanks HANK. 😎
Some rock solid advice there, Bro! However, I think you should probably mention, that at the end of the day, CONTENT IS KING! You cannot expect anyone to watch your videos, if the content isnt good. I think that is where most small youtubers fail.
Well I just know that 50K will be here soon!!!!! There exists in my mind a place where good things happen to good people and you sir are good people. I have learned enormous amounts about fishing from you and can honestly say that you have made my progress as an angler a happy journey. Oh by the way I met you at the Raleigh Fishing and Boat show and I think I guessed your weight then to be 165 lbs max!!!!!!! LOL keep up the wonderful work my friend.....
First thing : I really like these Informational Videos!!! Second thing : I started Laughing when you were talking about how fast you think your going, and when you watch it back its slower. Hell that's not just a southern thing lol I do it too! and I'm From Ohio. Another thing I do is stumble over words, I try not to script things cause then it's doesn't seem real. Thank you For the awesome Videos!!! Fish on!!!
Awesome video brother!! All those late night discussions about this..haha..yeah I'll get started someday and I'm sure everyone will gain from all this great advice!! You covered everything very well that we had discussed... several times lol. Tell Maria hello for me, great to see your family on the video!
Thanks for the video man. Been tossing this idea around in my head for a while. I might actually play around with videoing some. I really enjoy watching your videos
Awesome video man, really glad your doing this series. As you know I mainly live stream and I'm just now getting into the TH-cam editing videos. Used to I just uploaded the entire 8 hour video lol. I kind of feel like I copied the "geek" thing which wasn't intentional at all. I may change it to "ParoTopia Fishing" or "ParoXitiC Fishing" I really don't know some one had ParoXitiC on my live streams on twitch for 3 years now. Thanks again and look forward to the rest!
I have model building channel and it is what it is lol. Now I was thinking of starting a separate one about starting out fishing from the bank. From research to the first day a lure touches the water.
Great video!! Started my channel almost a year ago. This helped a ton. Thanks!! Still not great at talking on camera but I guess it will come eventually. You have a great channel. Learn a lot here
Like always thanks for all your insight. It will sure come in handy in the near future. Keep the videos coming and FYI I agree Debo and tackle junkie 81 are awesome. I will have to check out the other(s) you mentioned as well.
Good video. I managed to start my channel a few weeks ago. Been working towards it for a year, but I didn't record enough videos ahead of time lol. I am about 2 weeks ahead. I hope to build up about 5 weeks ahead, but you have to catch fish to do it LOL. I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work. 2 things I would add: 1. Whatever camera angles you use, make sure the viewers can see you and what is going on well. I hate views from the floor of the boat etc. I am not there yet, but in about 3 videos I will have 3 angles, two from the front, and one to the back for my co angler. I personally don't like a chesty cam because I don't like staring at someones hands for 20 minutes lol. 2. Editing is where the magic is. A well edited video with 5 fish will outperform a video where you just play music and catch 50 fish. Bring in some B roll, show what you are doing, and try to involve the viewer in the catches. (I need to work on this some myself) I try to play music as I don't like a video with no music, but I edit the audio down when catching fish so you can hear what happens in the moment. Anyways, that's my 2 cents!
Awesome video man I’m a small TH-camr trying hard to grow wondered across your video helped me out alot I’m moving out of the hunting and fishing to just fishing name change and all I’m trying to get out there
Thanks for the video. I've already started. Using my gopro but in future planning to buy dslr cause I need sometimes background to be blurred. Welcome to my channel.
@@BassGeek TBH it's no difference then sharing tips for fishing IMO we are all here to learn what works for you might not work for me. Just keep up the awesome work and love to see more videos like this like how you edit a video etc.
I'm just glad so many channels out there are trying to use the best phone made or best of whatever they can afford because I just feel like if you're going to put videos up make sure they aren't blurry or just low quality, I can't stand that! I've been accused of being a troll because I have asked channels to fix issues with audio or low quality footage and it's not that I'm rude, I was a camera operator for the sportsman's network and outdoor channel for about three year's and I've filmed in Mexico continuously for a series at one time for over thirty days catching big bass and filming with big camera's, I know what quality is and after filming with the ol' wild Bill Skinner you get it right or you go home and when it's early 2000's and your making 250 a day plus room and board and flights with paid airport parking you make it perfect 👍. Btw good job! Your efforts are nice , imo.
Well you have to remember people are starting on low or no budgets with no big camera or audio or production budget at all. It's one guy doing what a team done with you. I'm the talent, I'm the camera guy, I'm the editor, etc. Sometimes it's just bad and you have to get content out. Oh while you work a full time job. So take in the total there is no comparison to what you did. Hell to have 1 other person would be heaven for me. That's just the tip of it all.
Good information. I started mine a year ago and it has been a tough road! Picked up speed up to 1K but after that it is like pulling teeth to get to 2K. The big thing that people have to remember is that subscribers only give you an idea of who is watching, what you are looking for is the 80% of people that do not subscribe as that 100% (the two combined) are what gives you the watch hours. On the name, I could not think of anything either so I googled fishing terms. The very first one was Asleep At The Reel. I researched it and it was free so boom. Yolo stick with 128 card at 2.7K on the Hero 7 Black gives me 4.5 hours of continual footage. Man I have been behind the camera for 35 years now being in front is terrible. Ha ha. Good information brother!
Right now I just use youtube for watching everyone else but I am planning on starting my channel soon. I have my real name on here right now but am thinking on changing it to BigCountryOutdoors. What do you think? I want to do fishing videos mainly but will probably add my hunts and other outdoor related things as well. Thanks for your help and your videos.
Are use the GoPro hero four. My wife was buying it for me I told her to find a refurbished one just in case I couldn’t figure it out or just didn’t like it. I think she paid right around $100 for it and I’ve had it for about a year and a half now and it works perfect. The reason I went with the hero for the hero seven had just come out, but I always heard the hero four was the best one to use as far as trying to use an external microphone with
Man the biggest thing is keep the batteries in a cool place. I have the same issue. If you use a Yolotek power stick you can take the battery out which also helps
I need all the help 8 can get lol. I have a galaxy a51 phone, a gopro hero 3+ silver and a gopro 5 black coming. For Chest view and clip seat view. I use my phone on tiktok and Instagram now. I have shorts up I did with my phone
@@BassGeek every little bit of information helps. Like now I know I need a better memory card just to shout in anything over 1080p lol my gopro5 4k and 2.7k glitches with the current sd card ughhh
BG, I believe when I started watching fishing videos, you were the 1st person I subscribed to. And I dont like subscribing to a lot of channels. Why did i subscribe u you ask? 1st, It was your non pressure sales pitch, Lol. "Like it if u like it". And I thought that was cool! Not like everyone else begging me to hit the subscribe button. I actually thought about it, ya i like what this guys showing me, no pressure, I like it , so i finally subscribed. *Thats why I keep telling u to make that shirt, "Like it if you like it". And ill buy one! Save me an XL pls. The 2nd reason i subscribed is that you answer questions. That right there keeps me coming back and I have loyalty to your channel. I appreciate it very much when u respond back cause I want to learn things I dont know. This new topic i look forward to., maybe when I retire in a couple of years, Ill start a channel too. Keep up the good work.
I'm working on a couple shirts including that one. It's a great idea. I love fishing but never knew how much I would love doing this, the TH-cam part. I feel like I've found my thing. For the first time in life.
@@BassGeek Im glad you found your "thing". Lol. Youre good at it, i think your viewers enjoy youre personality and knowledge. Keep the tape rollin on the vids. I just followed you on your instagram page.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it!...I love to fish with my little girl, we started a channel about a year ago but it just doesnt seem like my videos get the views,like,comments that it should after 1 year....dont get me wrong,I know its a process and 6 months ago I wouldve loved to be where I am now but I just wonder sometimes if I doing something wrong or is my channel growing at a normal rate....I have 403 subscribers in about 11 months which isnt terrible but not alot of views,likes or comments, and thats what makes me wonder if my videos are good or not....so hard not to think about those things but the good news about this is, it wouldnt matter if I only had 5 subscribers, I still love going fishing with my little girl and editing videos so I guess PATIENCE is what I need :) I love watching videos of more established youtubers talking about their journey, keep up the great work BassGeek!
I definitely think you should do more videos about your journey from beginning to where you are now...creek fishing adventures has some good videos like that talking about his journey and broke it down how much money he made through the process....very interesting! I think people would be very intrigued if you do that as your channel has grown very well, congratulations on that!!
Thanks much for the tips as I'm putting up my first video on Wed. this week. Name of my channel is Rippin Lips with Marty Lawson...do you think the name is too long? I plan to focus on local folks that make rods and baits. Thanks!
Any tips for growing after your initial start? I’m averaging 278 views and 1 subscriber a day according to social blade and I want to know how to convert viewers into subscribers? Great video!
I have been wondering about that. But I wasn't sure if I change my few followers won't recognize the new name. My initials are MBP. I was thinking MBP multi species outdoors. Or maybe MBP outdoors.
My iPhone 11 Pro has been magic for me. It made filming my videos extremely simple and editing a breeze. I’d recommend for anyone using a smartphone to also get a lavalier mic and battery packs! My iPhone needed one of those double lightning cable dongles to plug my mic and charger in if your battery is running low. Its my action cam as well. This is great advice too thanks a lot bassgeek! Would it be possible to get your feedback on my videos?
BassGeek sweet will be looking forward to it! Not gonna lie but this is so hard. Not sure if it’s supposed to be like this or not or maybe I’m just doing something super wrong haha. Looking forward to your next! Tight lines my friend!
@@BassGeek My moms family was from a very poor part of North Carolina. My grandpa ran mining equipment and came north in 1960 cause pay was better. As soon as he retired in 1980 he headed back down south. I should have tagged along!
oh god , this is all we need more channels to pick from too many already lol i have a go pro and have made maybe 30 fishing videos and 20 unboxings but have never posted any of them lol probably never will, it’s just a hobby
Thank you for the shoutout brother! I appreciate it more than you could imagine. 🙏🏻 glad we became friends man.

I've been accused of being a troll because I have asked channels to fix issues with audio or low quality footage and it's not that I'm rude, I was a camera operator for the sportsman's network and outdoor channel for about three year's and I've filmed in Mexico continuously for a series at one time for over thirty days catching big bass and filming with big camera's, I know what quality is and after filming with the ol' wild Bill Skinner you get it right or you go home and when it's early 2000's and your making 250 a day plus room and board and flights with paid airport parking you make it perfect 👍. Btw good job! Your efforts are nice , imo.
Well you have to remember people are starting on low or no budgets with no big camera or audio or production budget at all. It's one guy doing what a team done with you. I'm the talent, I'm the camera guy, I'm the editor, etc. Sometimes it's just bad and you have to get content out. Oh while you work a full time job. So take in the total there is no comparison to what you did. Hell to have 1 other person would be heaven for me. That's just the tip of it all.
Thanks for inspiring me bro... I'm growing slow.. just fishing and sharing
.
I've got some stuff coming that will help ya man.
@@BassGeek heck ya il take all the help I can get..
#Bassgeeknation good stuff brother 🐟👊🏼
#BGN YOU are awesome!
Bro thanks so much for this video really appreciate it.
Thank you for watching more indepth things to come.
Good information. I started mine a year ago and it has been a tough road! Picked up speed up to 1K but after that it is like pulling teeth to get to 2K. The big thing that people have to remember is that subscribers only give you an idea of who is watching, what you are looking for is the 80% of people that do not subscribe as that 100% (the two combined) are what gives you the watch hours.
On the name, I could not think of anything either so I googled fishing terms. The very first one was Asleep At The Reel. I researched it and it was free so boom. Yolo stick with 128 card at 2.7K on the Hero 7 Black gives me 4.5 hours of continual footage. Man I have been behind the camera for 35 years now being in front is terrible. Ha ha. Good information brother!
I don't shoot 4k yet. Just to large. It's cool and looks good but not a must. You'll get used to being in front of the camera.
@@BassGeek I do not either. 2.7 is the biggest. Too much space and computer needed.
Shoot me a phone number at asleepatthereelTV@gmail.com. Would love to talk to you.
You rock man!
We will deep dive this as we get deeper into the videos.
Walmart has a camera setup for like 20. Comes with chest mount head mount and a bunch of other mounts. Just fyi
Good info man! Thanks for sharing.
Thinking about starting a chanel myself. Great info.
Do it stay after it!
Hey there I’m trying to get my own fishin channel going Thank you for the advice
Thank you for watching and good luck.
Thank you for this video
Thank you for watching
I love this guys. Keep it up 🤠
I love you back and I will try!
Thanks for the Tip.love the 📹
Thank you more on this to come and I hope it helps.
#BGN Great video Hank! You always rock! 👍
Nope you rock bro!
thanks for the tips. thought about starting a TH-cam channel. 👍
I'm going to give a lot of detail in future videos.
@@BassGeek okay looking forward to that. 👍
Right now I just use youtube for watching everyone else but I am planning on starting my channel soon. I have my real name on here right now but am thinking on changing it to BigCountryOutdoors. What do you think? I want to do fishing videos mainly but will probably add my hunts and other outdoor related things as well. Thanks for your help and your videos.
I love the name. You want a name that tells people what your channel is about.
Are use the GoPro hero four. My wife was buying it for me I told her to find a refurbished one just in case I couldn’t figure it out or just didn’t like it. I think she paid right around $100 for it and I’ve had it for about a year and a half now and it works perfect. The reason I went with the hero for the hero seven had just come out, but I always heard the hero four was the best one to use as far as trying to use an external microphone with
The dongle sucks. I've heard the 7's and 8's are much better.
BassGeek the mic I have connects right to the Hero 4. I’ve heard the 7 actually had audio issues. I can’t wait to get my hands on the 8 though
@@Retro-2-now I think they all use the dongle. I hate it. 4 was the last one not to.
Debo is a legend. Cant wait for a crossover
I hope we get to do one may be a year a way with the sickness crap. UGH.
@@BassGeek also if you ever in Victoria Australia. Hit me up ill take you murray cod fishing on the boat
I want to start a fishing channel. I think I have to become a better fisherman first. I haven't even been bass fishing for a whole year yet!
Nope that's your story! Tell the story of how and what you learn as you go!
Love your channel bruh !
Thank you!
thanks for the info
Thank you for watching.
Good advice.
Thank you!
Shotcut studio is an excellent free software. Really likes the info man
Nice man thank you and thanks for sharing! Love it when we help each other.
Great advice, man!
Thanks lot's more in depth coming.
Hank, how do you keep your gopro from overheating? I was out today and mine kept shutting off and lost quite a few fish catches due to it.
Man the biggest thing is keep the batteries in a cool place. I have the same issue. If you use a Yolotek power stick you can take the battery out which also helps
#BassGeek deserves more subs for sure.
Thank you very much!
I'm that southern accent country boy lol but I hope to start my TH-cam this year. Im looking at and getting camera gear and all.
I need all the help 8 can get lol. I have a galaxy a51 phone, a gopro hero 3+ silver and a gopro 5 black coming. For Chest view and clip seat view. I use my phone on tiktok and Instagram now. I have shorts up I did with my phone
Thanks I hope it helps
@@BassGeek every little bit of information helps. Like now I know I need a better memory card just to shout in anything over 1080p lol my gopro5 4k and 2.7k glitches with the current sd card ughhh
BG, I believe when I started watching fishing videos, you were the 1st person I subscribed to. And I dont like subscribing to a lot of channels. Why did i subscribe u you ask? 1st, It was your non pressure sales pitch, Lol.
"Like it if u like it". And I thought that was cool! Not like everyone else begging me to hit the subscribe button. I actually thought about it, ya i like what this guys showing me, no pressure, I like it , so i finally subscribed.
*Thats why I keep telling u to make that shirt, "Like it if you like it". And ill buy one! Save me an XL pls.
The 2nd reason i subscribed is that you answer questions. That right there keeps me coming back and I have loyalty to your channel. I appreciate it very much when u respond back cause I want to learn things I dont know.
This new topic i look forward to., maybe when I retire in a couple of years, Ill start a channel too. Keep up the good work.
I'm working on a couple shirts including that one. It's a great idea. I love fishing but never knew how much I would love doing this, the TH-cam part. I feel like I've found my thing. For the first time in life.
@@BassGeek Im glad you found your "thing". Lol. Youre good at it, i think your viewers enjoy youre personality and knowledge. Keep the tape rollin on the vids. I just followed you on your instagram page.
@@masfishing1 Thanks!
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it!...I love to fish with my little girl, we started a channel about a year ago but it just doesnt seem like my videos get the views,like,comments that it should after 1 year....dont get me wrong,I know its a process and 6 months ago I wouldve loved to be where I am now but I just wonder sometimes if I doing something wrong or is my channel growing at a normal rate....I have 403 subscribers in about 11 months which isnt terrible but not alot of views,likes or comments, and thats what makes me wonder if my videos are good or not....so hard not to think about those things but the good news about this is, it wouldnt matter if I only had 5 subscribers, I still love going fishing with my little girl and editing videos so I guess PATIENCE is what I need :) I love watching videos of more established youtubers talking about their journey, keep up the great work BassGeek!
I Really would like to do a course on this and get really detailed. I do have a small system do you think people would be interested?
I definitely think you should do more videos about your journey from beginning to where you are now...creek fishing adventures has some good videos like that talking about his journey and broke it down how much money he made through the process....very interesting! I think people would be very intrigued if you do that as your channel has grown very well, congratulations on that!!
Thanks much for the tips as I'm putting up my first video on Wed. this week. Name of my channel is Rippin Lips with Marty Lawson...do you think the name is too long? I plan to focus on local folks that make rods and baits. Thanks!
Awesome just holler if ya need any more.
Any tips for growing after your initial start? I’m averaging 278 views and 1 subscriber a day according to social blade and I want to know how to convert viewers into subscribers? Great video!
OH you just wait. I've got some video's coming on how I do it. IN DEPTH...
Great Video and Advise.
Thank you sir.
Bless you for telling guys to turn their iPhones sideways. Also, I only watch videos where
Yeah makes me nuts.
I have been wondering about that. But I wasn't sure if I change my few followers won't recognize the new name. My initials are MBP. I was thinking MBP multi species outdoors. Or maybe MBP outdoors.
Just do a video on the change trust me it will help you.
I fish with Northforkfishing12 a bit and did a 1v1 challenge with him! Really awesome dude!
Yes he is. I'll check it out for sure.
Hello 👋 bass geek family
Why hello sir.
My iPhone 11 Pro has been magic for me. It made filming my videos extremely simple and editing a breeze. I’d recommend for anyone using a smartphone to also get a lavalier mic and battery packs! My iPhone needed one of those double lightning cable dongles to plug my mic and charger in if your battery is running low. Its my action cam as well. This is great advice too thanks a lot bassgeek! Would it be possible to get your feedback on my videos?
They are great! I love mine and you are correct it's a great place to start if you already have any smart phone really. Us it! Thanks!
BassGeek Right on! And no, thank you for creating this!
Josh Yeung be sure to see the don’ts. I will be putting much more out as time goes but the next video is a big one also
BassGeek sweet will be looking forward to it! Not gonna lie but this is so hard. Not sure if it’s supposed to be like this or not or maybe I’m just doing something super wrong haha. Looking forward to your next! Tight lines my friend!
@@JoshTheFlyGuy It can be but just be sure not to do the don'ts. lol
U the man
Thank you
The camera adds 50lbs hahahaha
LOL it does man.
As a Yankee I much prefer southern hunting and fishing channels.
Well I'm for sure a hillbilly. lol
@@BassGeek My moms family was from a very poor part of North Carolina. My grandpa ran mining equipment and came north in 1960 cause pay was better. As soon as he retired in 1980 he headed back down south. I should have tagged along!
@@christopherwood2290 I’m from a very poor family myself. Worked hard to get to this point.
@@BassGeek Yup, hard work is the key to everything in life.
oh god , this is all we need more channels to pick from too many already lol i have a go pro and have made maybe 30 fishing videos and 20 unboxings but have never posted any of them lol probably never will, it’s just a hobby
Man you should. Let it fly!
