After i accidentally dropped my pb the other day,i chose to release her immediately after the drop instead of carrying her all the way back to my car to retrieve my phone to take pictures. Im the only witness because of this, but i wanted that special largemouth to live
Hell yea brother, i truly respect that!!
Totally agree, except it is not just bass...people should have respect for any fish they catch.
Thank you for saying it like it is. And for advocating for anglers to have gratitude, humility, and respect for the bass. So often, in this pursuit we love, (recreational and tournament bass fishing) bass are commoditized-- treated like means to an end, -and there's a disgraceful perversion in that. We're missing out when we fall victim to that ignorance. And you argue so effectively that some anglers are missing the point on this subject.
Once again: Thanks for using your platform to do good for the sport, and to affect change for the better. Good Evening, Sir.
We can’t even treat each other with respect. No way we will other species.
What makes me wanna spit nails is the trash people leave at the lakes and ponds. We try to de-trash what we can when we go fishing. Why can't people pack out their garbage?
I see this all the time too, it drives me crazy
I picked up a pocket full of line up the other day
Well said. Thank you
Bass lives Matter!!!
I couldn’t help it but great topic Mr Randy. I hate seeing them bounce off the console.
As I always answer my clients… Hey what’s the best fish you ever caught… Me: “The Next One”.
Like you said. It comes down to respect. Great fishing talk Randy
Randy. I wish I could give you a million thumbs up for this video. I am so sick and tired of seeing people disrespect the fish they catch. Whenever I see it I always give the video a thumbs down. If I am a subscriber, I will unsubscribe. And often I will comment on the video saying why I unsubscribed. And often I get ridiculed, name called, bad things said about my mother, you name it. No one uses nets anymore. they just rip the fish into the boat. Or drag it up and bank. They don't care about the fish they catch. Like you said they treat it like it is a stick. I have gone as far as to use barbless hooks. I always mash down the barb. I would rather lose a fish than to hurt or kill it because the bard rips a huge hole in its mouth. I could go on and on about how people are disrespecting the fish. But you know how it is. I think the fishing tournament organizations should require that all fish be netted. No matter the size. Let them be the example. I know one of them did have something about a 10-minute time out if a fish was dropped or something. They all need to do it and expand it. The sporting fisherman will do what he sees the pros doing on TV. If you are a pro, be a positive example of how things should be done. Not a negative one. Thanks for the video. Please keep them coming.
Thanks Randy. That's something for everyone to think about.
So true. Another great video Randy👍💪🐟
Absolutely agree randy! 100 percent 👍👍👍
Went fishing with a guy from work years ago. While out on the water, this guy catches a bass and asks me "you wanna see beer batter?" Puzzled, I say yes. He proceeds to pour cheap light beer down the bass' throat and says "there's the beer" punches the poor fish back into the water and then say "and there's the batter".
Never went fishing with that asshole again.
Lol
I don't get it🤔
Wow what a jerk
Bass are smart and very good to eat. Be sure to put them on ice to keep them fresh before you clean them. The smaller ones taste better and the biologist say we need to take more small bass to let the others continue to grow.
Big bass are delicious grilled on the half shell
Thanks Randy!
Randy, you forgot the ones that holler " lets go baby" giggle giggle chuckle chuckle "lets go". That aggrevates me to no end lol. To each there own but dang man. Im gunna hook up a sub system on my kayak and blast ACDC evertime i hook up lol.
lol the same catch phrases every time they hook up. "oh god its a giant, i mean giant" "stay hooked up, please stay hooked up" and of course the all time worst, the repeated "lets go, lets freaking go!!"
I can’t stand that crap! It’s worse than nails on a chalkboard.
I've noticed this happening lately and was wondering if anyone else noticed. Thanks for bringing it up.
Many tournament "fishermen" are in it for the competition, not the actual fishing. This is yet one more reason why so many of them do not see anything wrong with FFS and LS. Animals should not be fodder for a competition.
Right on point Randy! At the tournament level, BASS esp, needs to adopt the MLF rules with penalties for fish touching the carpet, releases below the gunnel and the weight and release process.
Thank you for doing this video.
I agree with you totally !
Nailed it! Subscribed.
Well said my friend
When I catch a Bass, I treat it as carefully and respectfully as I can so I can release it back into the water. That fish gave me the enjoyment of catching them, the least I can do is handle it with care. Having said that…. I will never consider a fish as “equal” to me. They are not smarter than humans in any way, manner, or form. They are not stupid by any means, but they are not nearly as smart as Randy wants us to believe. They do deserve our respect when we catch them and we need to make sure we keep the environment clean so they can thrive and provide us with a lifetime of catches.
Respect. Take care of the fish. Very good points.
Well said 👍
I agree with you 100% Randy.
I'm with you. The world could always use more gratitude and humility.
Gratitude towards what?
I became a vegan five years ago and stepping away from sport fishing was (and is) the hardest part of it. I fished my entire life. I still go fishing once or twice a year. It's something that's in my bones. If I weren't a hypocrite, I'd give it up entirely. At the bare minimum, I've stopped trying to convince myself that I'm not harming animals for fun. There's just no way around it. No matter how careful and respectful you try to be, there's always a percentage of fish that get hooked in the eye, the gill, the throat. Or that swim away seeming perfectly fine only to die within a couple days. I'm also not convinced that fish are too neurologically simple to experience pain.
I think it's commendable that you admit to having ethical misgivings about fishing. That's tough to do, especially for someone whose whole livelihood depends upon it. But once you start following those principles of respect you laid out to their end, you'll run out of defenses for recreational fishing. I admire you, Randy, and I think you have the intellectual honesty to turn that stone over if you're ever inclined to.
Yet he still uses livewells andfish mortality after tournaments can be bad in hot tournneys. Dont eat to much lettuce because those shrews, rabbits,deer etc that get ground up by those farm tractors prob wont like it.
Agreed , agreed 👍🏻
Me myself I try an handle the bass or any fish with care , I try not to rub some coat an try not letting it flop cause in the summertime the boat carpet is very hot now I don’t know if it’s hot to the fish or not I would think it is so I handle them with care for sure, it really gets me when I hook one funny an have to get pliers out an I do not like to do this for sure. Nice message.
Hi Randy! Not only do those guys who don't respect the life of the fish or any other thing they take advantage of for their pleasure and enjoyment they also have NO respect of their image they provide for the public to view and what does that say about them. Some people were never taught these values as a child or young adult and that should tell us as sportsmen to teach your grandchildren and their friends to respect other things. Thanks Randy!💯
You always thank the fish for its participation in your day on the lake .
I’m the type person that I will absolutely fight over people being cruel to any animal, I have no problem whatsoever going to jail for correcting an idiot’s thinking on how to treat animals! It doesn’t matter to me where I’m at if I see it I’m doing something! Period
You are so right Randy. There are too many idiots out there who have NO respect for bass or any other fish.
I probably caught 50 small bass today 3 good ones and I thank them all.
I think all tournament Anglers look at the fish as the ball in the game and that's it. Its all about the money, just like in every other professional sport.
I stopped at a local lake that ive not fished since childhood yesterday. Anyways,it was immediately after a long workday and i just left my phone in the car,hoped out the car and within my first ten casts i immediately caught my pb on a plopper. I desperately wanted a picture of this fish and so i immediately unhooked her and went running to my car for my phone but she flopped and i dropped her on the ground and after that i felt horrible and i just took her to the waters edge immediately and released her because i felt like this fish was special and proof of bragging rights ant worth that fishs life. Anyways,it was not only pb but also the most aggressive top water bite ive ever seen...not a freak but a solid 6 pounder
Agree Randy 100%
Too many tournaments.
O boy, by what standard do you come to this conclusion?
Randy, could you please show some tricks and tips for removing gutted hooks from a bass? Sometimes it's hard to decide to either leave the hook in the fish.
Go thru the gill plate from the side. Comes out no problem. Leave the hook in and it’s dead for sure.
@@AString95 I know how to do that....Asking for other tips. But it would be helpful for others to see that in a video format. How about hooks that can't be removed? Just cut the line? try to cut the hook in half? my question was for Randy BTW
@@AndrewGianino well Randy didn’t answer. I was just trying to help. Peace
Randy, you’re right. Wildlife and entire ecosystems need our respect and careful stewardship. The balance is often delicate and intricately connected. As our population grows, so does our impact on the environment. As the world suffers, so do we. No supernatural power will intervene. We all need to take responsibility and protect the bass, their forage, other species, plant life, water and air quality.
What makes me sick to my stomach is the bass tournaments that still bounce the fish around in the live well for hours. My local lake that is electric and paddle only just started tournaments again. The boats are basically electric bass boats with live scopes and all the other bells and whistles. At the end of the tournament I watched the weigh in after I was done fishing. The fish all got tossed back in the same place and at least 25% went bell up.
I try to tell all I can to release bass caught below the gunnel of the boat. Some jerks think the bass owes them something and throws them back like a football into the water, pisses me off!
A bass has more character and heart then many grown ass men I've known. Unfortunately.
Comment at 3:30.... go back and look at the footage available from the 70's on .
Hope Ick sees this , i meane ike, no respect for anthing,,including my colors, he started alot of this and Bass promoted it. GREAT VID Randy
I get upset when I see fisherman kiss a bass without asking for permission first. This is 2024 for gosh sakes. #metoo
😂😂😂😂
I almost feel like people lack class anymore- they can't show respect to anything- not the sport, other fishermen or the actual fish. Randy us old guys are leaving this sport to a generation of video game attached shallow souls. No wonder there is such a high rate of mortality in bass
Watch Jimmy Houston fish.
I appreciate your respect for life on this planet.
I'm so glad you done this topic!! It drives me nuts watching half these idiots! No respect anymore!
You are not wrong, Randy. Unfortunately all you are doing by posting these kinds of videos is giving your haters more fodder. Telling folks how they should act and singling out groups of people always ends poorly. I like your videos about tactics and technics. More of those please.
Cool,,,Note taken,,, *don’t celebrate 🎉 when u catch a big one*,,,, but I do agree with handling the bass better not letting it flop all over the boat
Them bass ain’t got no respect for me haha
Amen Randy. It has happened in all our outdoor pursuits. These same people have done the exact same thing to
our deer, elk , moose and other critters. Ignorance on parade.
Randy I'm on board with ya almost always.
But this is a multispecies issue.
It boils down to being a conservationist and a Stuart of nature.
I comment on different videos I watch all the time where it's slinging them in the boat hitting every graph on the way in or leaving them out the water for 5 mins high 5ing or taking pics. Dam they don't breathe air! LET THEM GO!
Thank goodness someone is bold enough to mention ethics in fishing. I have seen some awful behaviors on the water with fishing. I have seen some wonderful ethics as well. To me, its a reflection of them as a person and their current mind set.. I thank every fish I catch. Its an instinct I guess. Its respect. I used to fish a pier off Lake Erie for perch and saw some horrific fish treatment for no reason. To the point, I have had a few arguments with strangers over it. They'll say "well I am keeping it." or "its just a fish." Well, the more you torture a fish, the worse it'll taste. Just like deer hunting. So actually, I remind them the gentler you are with fish that your keeping, the better they taste. Or, dispatch them immediately. I don't believe in stringers for this reason for trout. Thats a long torture for a few ounces of meat and I can taste the difference when strung like many do. What I catch and keep is killed immediately, bled and throw on ice. So if that means I am only wading 50 feet down a stream to do so, so be it. Crappie, same deal, killed immediately and placed on ice unless I have a live well and know my ice may melt. I do it for the fish and for me. My brother is a good example of someone who has no idea that releasing a fish back into the water after catching doesn't mean they always swim away without issues. He isn't a bad person, just doesn't understand they are living. He was catching trout without nets, mangling their mouths, dragging catfish all around the deck, never wetting his hands, handling them in every wrong way there was......I'd like to think I am teaching him these are living creatures that deserve respect. He has gotten a net since and his behaviors have changed for the better. Maybe just for me. But whatever, its at least a change. If anything, anyone I fish with, if you aren't showing respect for the fish. (and also deer hunting) you will not be welcome to fish or hunt with me. I make it clear as crystal what I expect from my friends on the boat. I don't hold my tongue about it. When a person places their own ego and adrenaline rush over the life of an animal, I am quick to remind them those animals are the reason you are having a good time, so you better treat them with respect or you don't get on my boat.
There are people who don’t respect wildlife which I just can’t comprehend but putting any animal above or equal to a human being is wrong. I have seen you cook and eat fish on this channel and it wasn’t largemouth but who decides what species gets the most respect? Do all animals deserve the same respect as a bass?
I 100% agree! like many of you, I love to go outside and admire God's creation. I'm very young (14 to be exact ) and I see a lot of kids my age who I take out fishing not understanding why we respect nature. I've had the privilege to teach others this moral compass. I've made a lot of these mistakes before as have many of you. I've dropped fish, eye-hooked fish, and started catching so many I forget to respect and admire the fish. I believe videos like this are 10 times more important than "how-to" videos. To all adults and parents reading this, teach your kids this EVEN if they don't fish. I see so many young people that just don't get it. when I say young people I mean ages 1-45 years old. These morals create good wildlife management systems, good fishermen, and good fish populations so raise your kids right folk.
I think its wrong to use our natural resources to get rich and famous period i love yur channel and i learn alot ....i quit bass fishing a long time ago cause i felt sorry for the fish being used for monitary gain from tournament anglers....recently started back cause theres no tournaments around me
Bassmasters should impose a time or weight penalty for improper landing of a Bass. They should have to remove the fish from the water by hand. Landing nets would be better than what some of these guys are doing.
We've got a guy in our club that stomps and kills spotted bass after every weigh in.
He should be turned into the conservation department
@@randyblaukatintuitive North Carolina has no limit on spotted bass. You can catch 50 to 100 from 1 inch to 30 . State changed the law two years ago
@randyblaukatintuitive the spotted bass has become invasive. Especially on Lake Norman
@@Carolinaboi313 that’s absolutely stupid for them to do that
@@randyblaukatintuitive no the spotted bass have become invasive.
Please turn your volume up. I'm much older than you. Trust me. it makes a difference. Thx's
My biggest peeve is tournament anglers fishing during the spawn and taking their female catches to the weigh-in only to be for them to be released away from their beds. How about these anglers taking away the males guarding the eggs/fry on the beds. When are the professional anglers going to address this issue.
👍
That is one rule I like in the MLF. can't touch the carpet and you can't throw the fish.
i felt so bad today i had to throw two fish today theirs were rocks the water was flood but i always treat em good with my hands i put em gently at the water always wont happen again promise every one.
The boat flip into the floor with no respect for the fish or the next few seconds is BS. The only concern is, "will this fish make it to weigh in, and F it after that" This has become too prevalent. There are times when you may not have an option, but other times when it is just disrespectful and wrong. I am with you on this Randy. Please try harder folks. Please...
I don’t agree with your livescope view points but I definitely agree with Bass handling. MLF is on point with there rules on fish care
Hmmm - considering the analogy of bass fishing: artificial/live baits with hooks, impaling a fish with force and dragging it through grass and brush to land it, not to mention oftentimes they loose an eye or suffer gill damage? On the other hand - I think all tournament organizations could prohibit slaming a fish on board. Would be better for the fish's survival if hand landed or netted to protect it's slime coat. I worked with several FWCC and Federal Wildlife Scientist from 2009 to 2023 - our job was to create wildlife habitiat, work on installation protection plans to improve water quality and manage eradication efforts with evasive species. Where does Mr. Bass fit in: it is an intriciate part of ecosystems and the food chain - being the apex predator in some areas and somewhere in the middle at other geographical locations. Bass are subordinate to humans, bowfin, and large alligators. We should protect our resources, and not overly abuse or harvest the fish we catch, but notwithstanding - bass fishing is NOT a kind or gentle activity on the fish and might be appreciated as such by some. One thing I like about guys that "spotlight" with small jighead minnows and 6 pound line - their tackle does not enable them to swing fish on board and allow them to flop around.
I do believe we're superior to animals, but we are to be good stewards too, just like the Bible says. I smash alot of the barbs down on alor of my hooks, don't bass fish during the spawn, etc...
In the past B.A.S.S. made using nets illegal because it harmed the fish. At that point boat flipping evolved and it seems to be much more harmful not to mention dangerous to the fisherman. Why not allow those rubber nets? B.A.S.S., has always been the industry leader but not they're just the industry.
Tournament fishing does not make anglers care for the smaller fish, it means you are wasting precious seconds that have been ingrained in their heads.
Bass are food
If you fish for bass, you don't respect them. 🤣
I eat them. Can't figure out what in the fuck everyone else is doing.
Whenever anyone catches a 'Good One' on my boat . . . I'll net it with a rubber net and leave the net and the fish in the water.
I'll throw a High-5 while we check out the bass (still in the water).
If it's a 'Photo-Worthy' catch, we'll get the phone / camera ready 1st . . . fish still in the net/ water.
If it's a 'single-hook' lure we'll leave the bait in for the picture.
If it's a treble hook bait, I'll take the hook(s) out and secure the bait so no accidents.
Then we quickly photograph the fish, and then quickly release it.
This program really works well for not only the bass, but for us as well.
We can also set up the photographs better as well, by getting the person or boat in the correct position with the sun . . . usually to the back of the photographer, and in the face of the angler.
Try it . . . you'll see what I mean.
Great video.
Love Ike!!!
The yelling and screaming of fisherman when they catch a good fish is intolerable for me. It seems to be concentrated in the last 15 yrs or so.
Or when guys catch a good fish, hold it up shaking the fish in celebration. And when they keep the fish in front of the camera for 5 min while they tell their life story about every anything that led up to that 9 pounder.
The insatiable desire for attention, by grown people, the neverending pursuit of external validation has reached a point that I'm not sure if they're hitting on all cylinders.
I,like you,but older get frustrated when I see so called pro's, scopers take giants that would never be taken without the sonar,the last one that made me crazy was a Japanese young guy,pulled out a 10+,swung it around by it's lip,then held it in front of the camera,then weighed, then finally put it in water,it was in the air over 3 minutes, I'm yelling at the TV,they don't give a damn, I fought all the organizations year's ago to ban stringer hooks on scales and beams, to try and eliminate the holes in the mouth membrane, that's how they eat,anyway nobody gives a sh**...
i almost have even less respect for the anglers that respect bass and handle them properly only to on the next cast catch a drum or a carp or any off target or non gamefish and treat it like shit
it’s embarassing to see someone catch a bass or a fly angler catch a trout and be so gentle then catch a whitefish or a bowfin and conk them over the head and throw them in the bushes or frisbee the white fish back across the stream
watching some guy whine and gag because he catches a pike and it’s “slimy and stinky” like a little child does not impress me total disrespect i would kill to catch and appreciate that pike
ALL fish need to be respected and if you have to cull them legally be humane and responsible and sensitive to other people using the resource don’t leave them in piles rotting on the bank next to peoples kids and dogs
You think the bass respect you ?
You talk about native Americans stalking one deer and then show them so much respect , but did you know or care that a lot of tribes use to drive herds/hundreds of buffalo over the edge of cliffs to their death and only "harvest" what they could and leave the rest to rot !??
Randy this is a thing is disagree with you on. I agree people shouldn’t let fish flop on the carpet, but fish and animals are NOT on the same level as humans….God gave us dominion over the animals
So, the Comanches stampeded hundreds of buffaloe off the cliffs to kill and maim them for easier killing. Indians wouldn't use a gun to shoot a deer and feed his family?? They never traded for rifles and used them as soon as they could get one? You need a history lesson.
You need to research the ancient Lipan Apaches
@@randyblaukatintuitive the Comanches were so fierce they ran the Apaches out of what wasTexas.
Okay, so with all the actual scientific studies done with mortality rates and how detrimental livewells are to bass, will you agree to never use one again Randy?
I can find studies supporting both sides so which studies are you referring to. Give us multiples.
Agree. We need to start putting them back on stringers like the good ol days
Just measure length like kayak fishing tournaments.
@@Bass-lh6hnwatch Zaldains last podcast he has a biologist on that breaks down the whole mortality rate debate
There have been scientific studies in the last couple of years that show that for livewell tournaments held between May and November up to 70% of the bass released were found floating dead in the area of the release within 4 days ... and we're not just talking about 1 lbers here, we're talking about 3-5 lbers ... completely unacceptable!
Start dropping some names. If you want some attention and views start dropping some names lol
More attention and more views *
I'm no better than a fish!
Randy, The Object Standard, God's Word The Bible, in Genesis 1:26-28:
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Only human beings are made in the image of God not all creatures. We didn't evolve from stardust to primordial soup then to fish to philosophers we were created in the image of God with a purpose. Atheism / macroevolution is a farce
That is just a belief system that doesn’t have to do with the reality of the situation
@@randyblaukatintuitive this has all to do with reality in fact the first 11 chapters of Genesis is very important. There's never been an archaeological dig that's ever controverted with the Bible has said. In fact archaeologists always use the Bible to find things that they're looking for as a starter. I've been watching you in the bassmaster since the '80s when I got into it heavy I respect you my friend but God is true and real and absolute.
Here we go with the Bible.
@@tdosoldier t-Rex skeleton digs date back over 140 million years
Exactly correct sir, good scriptures
Seeing this more & more...no respect for the fish....it's all about the "catching"...these same type of anglers are more likely to be Scopers, as well
Ban live wells, pros are hurting the sport the most, ban all tournaments that have live wells
This would mean more if it didn’t come from a former pro angler.
You didn’t even give anybody’s names out you wanna talk about all these people and you don’t even drop names drop some names, man I’m pretty sure you’ve done the same thing
You are wrong again, Randy.
King James Version
Genesis 1:26-28
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
That’s a belief system you are talking about… not scientific facts
@@randyblaukatintuitive 'Scientific facts' is also a belief system....
@@dj-pizza no science is based upon reproductible results and data. Belief systems are followed in the absence of that
@@randyblaukatintuitivethen where do you get morality in the first place? Morality is based on belief systems. Science does not get you morality hahaha.
@@randyblaukatintuitive wouldn’t you have more respect for the fish if you didn’t try to trick them with a hooked bait in the first place? Then you take it out of the water, where it can’t breath, then you stuff it in a bag for money. What you’re saying makes no sense. I like your videos but you’re wrong on this one. I agree they should be treated with care and respect. But I don’t respect the fish enough to not hook in the mouth because it’s fun.
The Bible says man has dominion over the animals however they are God’s creation as well. We should take care and respect them. Man was created before the animals about seven thousand years ago not millions.
Sorry but that is not true
@@randyblaukatintuitive maybe you should read the Bible.

Nope.
