- This is the most accurate representation that I can find of how bass may actually see. We know that bass vision is different than human vision. This video will give you a good idea of how bass see color differently than we do. Bass vision is a fascinating topic.

Thank you! Have a blessed day!
The only thing that I know for sure is that the bass aren’t commenting on this.
😅😅😅😅
Maybe they helped make the video to steer us wrong 🤔
...wrong, the one hanging on my wall told me this was all BS. not hyperbole, I heard him!
Yeah they got awfully quiet huh
Cool stuff!! But I found myself REALLY wanting more side by sides views rather than fully replacing the images.
Me too
arrow forward arrow back
RIGHT! This should be top comment
I always throw natural colors because bass get used to eating shad and crawfish so of course silver/yellow and red/brown matches what they’re used to seeing.
You right bruh those are the basic colors the bass in GA love that Blue color with the flakes
I think you need to include water clarity as well. The colors will filter out in different clarities of water and light conditions
💯👍🏼👍🏼
This was without a doubt one of the best videos I have seen about Bass Fishing in my 48 years of fishing. Your videos never disappoint and this one is no different. Your the morden day Doug Hannon.
Thanks so much! That means a lot to me and keeps me going.
@@SteveRogersOutdoorsPlease do! U have literally saved me from yet...another FFS Rant from the "Intuitive Angling" channel. 🙏
Wanna shake up the fishing lure industry ? someone make glasses that show the colors that bass actually see.
🙋♂️💯
Omg that would sell like nothing els.
Thank u for not having commercials
Thank u 4 bringing this 2 my attention. I didn't notice this but...now that u brought it up, it is rather refreshing. 😎
Agree with the other posters - this video is gold. Now I know why they say most lures are made to catch bass fishermen - ha ha. Man I could have saved some money on all the yellow I have 😂 . Well glad to know now, and this helps greatly in simplifying my gear. Thanks Steve!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
This video is 100% horse shit
When I was a kid we went far north in Canada camping and fishing. We fished in lakes that had never been fished in before. The waters were very dark from tannin. Our best lures by far were fluorescent orange. We hauled the fish in. Mostly Northern Pike and Walleyes
Excellent video Steve! This one is most definitely going into my archives! I’m a big fan of swim jigs and your set up was spot on! If you should do a part 2 of this video, please consider different water clarities… crystal clear to muddy. It would be interesting to see which colors stand out when filtered🙏🎣
Yes, it would. I am definitely planning to do a part two some time and will keep this in mind for sure. Thank you!
Also compare some different depths in the different water clarities!
Thanks, like you said very interesting.
Very eye opening Steve. Thanks for the info.
I thought bass can see UV too, which we cant. Wouldnt that change how all these colors are perceived even more? Maybe incl UV, chartreuse doesnt go white but is something else? You give us a lot to think about, and lure makers heartburn. Love that part!
I need to do some investigating on the UV. Definitely feel like a part 2 video is in the works.
Thats what I have heard too, which is how they feed at night or really deep. UV rays are not blocked by the water as well as visible light rays, so as the water gets deeper we cant see anymore but UV rays are still getting thorough and UV colors still shine bright and visible to fish. But each UV wavelength is also lost at specific depth just like color, red being the first to go neutral starting at 10 feet.
This is great.. it did you ever think, what if the bass itself has a color blindness issue
Removes blue color, Everything looks blue now
It was interesting how that light blueish-greenish showed up in certain situations. I would love to do some more digging around with that one, yet the blue flake looked bright green. Thanks for watching!
I have my monitor calibrated for my photography hobby. What you see as blue is actually more green on my monitor. I think manufacturers calibrate monitors to make it more pleasant for us. I learned years ago that I have to calibrate my monitors to reflect the actual colors in my photo images. Just my thoughts.
@@Rooster0529its blue on my phone, my tv, and my laptop.
@@imnotimportant haha, you’re killin me. Must be your fish genes coming through. 🙂
@@imnotimportantthat's true, as screen are calibrated with +blue highly, +red lower and most of them lacks -green by few points.
Our brain loves blue to make world more natural (instead of grey), why we can see more shades of green than any other color (except for ppl in cold zones coz they see more blue shades than green... Like Alaska or Siberia). That's why night vision glasses (gogles/ thing that army murderers uses to see at night) show everything in green rathet than red or blue.
Hey Steve, all great stuff! I recently came across your videos. Wow, I’m amazed at the different perspective you bring. I’ve learned a ton already! THANK YOU!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching.
Excellent video, I learned a good bit.
Thank you for this. I get in arguments all the time with regards to yellow/chartreuse and blue colored baits.
You're welcome! It was a great one to work on and spend time with. Took a lot longer than I thought, but worth it.
Great content and well done. Thank you
Interesting and helpful video. It would also be helpful to see what lures look like at depth in different water conditions.
Great info!!! Awesome video! Thanks again!!
Thank you!
You make such interesting and informative videos!
I love this kind of stuff
Thanks!
And this is why, "back in the day", most lures were basic colors. Reds and whites. I often wondered why a bass would eat a chartreuse colored bait, when I have never seen a chartreuse colored bait fish. So, in short, we look at what the fish are eating and match the colors that we see, and the bass will see the colors of the bait fish we are trying to mimic. All of these bizarre colors, especially chartreuse are just gimmicks to get fishermen to buy their product. And we all fell for it.
Excellent video! Thanks for hard work!
Thanks! This one did take some time for sure so thank you for taking time to watch.
Awesome info Steve..going to have to take this into consideration when airbrushing all the lures i do from now on.
Wow this really does make a difference as to what colors bass really do see. It is amazing as to how chartreuse is actually white and how the glitter stands out. Amazing video and thanks for sharing!!!
Truly great content!! Thanks Steve!!
Thanks!
Great video, Thanks for the information.
And thank you for watching!
Brilliant! Love this content. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah I thought everything green would stand out sense they have a green cone. But like you said, the blue flake in black& blue was green. Then the green backs on hard baits were light blue & green pumpkin was brown/pumpkin? Not what I was expecting but super interesting. So a white lure with a chartreuse tail is just to catch the anglers, not the fish sense it's all white to them...
Thanks Steve. Cool video.
Love knowing i can simplify my color selections. And the color vision in the video reminds me of Kratts Creatures from back in the 90s. Lol.
This will change with depth I’m assuming as red is the first color we lose underwater with our vision anyway. Thats why divers use filters on GoPros so everything doesn’t look green
Very informative stuff big dog! This changes everything for me.
Thank you!
Great video. Best bass channel
Good one Steve, interesting knowledge every little bit helps
Thanks. Some of these really surprised me.
Awesome info. Please go into more detail and colors. Will you be doing that in your bundle?
Excellent video! Really appreciate it.
Thanks so much. It was a fun one to work on.
Cool video. Love seeing what bass see helps understand what makes them bite
Thank you!
Very informative channel. Great work!
Thanks!
Thanks Steve. Another great video
Great Video, sharing it with others.
Much appreciated!
Interesting!
Very interesting video. Thx
Thank you!
Please do a video on how they see at night! I'd like to know how efficient fishing in the dark is. Great video!
That would be a great one. I will try to get that done.
Interesting Vid Steve . Gives one lots to think about 👍
It definitely reinforces my belief that our own personal confidence in color is very important. I will be adding a few others to my lineup though. Lol.
Awesome video and channel! I just found your channel this morning and love the way you look at the different ways to go about bass fishing. I am in Minnesota, so I am starting to get excited to get on the water. I do not get to fish too often, but my Son likes to fish, so it gives us something to do together that we both enjoy. Just curious on what are the items that you use for your "Favorite" lure of all time towards the end of the video? Thank you for these videos, and please keep them coming! Have a fantastic weekend!
Thanks so much for watching! I will heading to MN in June again this year. Can't get enough of it. My favorite lure is a Strike King Tour Grade swim jig in bluegill with a Honey Candy Rage Menace trailer. I have so much confidence in that setup.
Great Video and info !
Thank you!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I find it interesting to see like a trout or bass.
Great video. Love the scientific approach.
Thank you!
Great info Steve.
Thank you!
Very interesting something I will definitely keep in mind.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Please update this with side by side images of the differences.
Well done!
Thanks so much!
Excellent video, one of the best and informative videos I've ever seen.
Thanks! It took a long time to put together but it was a fun one to do.
Ditto
Excellent video!!!
Thanks!
I've caught so many fish on the sexy shad color red-eye shad during low light. I always thought the key was the way the light blue back gave off a cool looking glow.. I guess not!
Best Video in 10 years. But I do agree with “fish nerd “the images need to be side by side. As well, thanks for showing us your favourite lure/colour and there was very little change. Nicely done Steve .Don’t stop.
This was an eye opening video Steve!! I'm going to mess around with those websites to see what my favorite lures look like. I'm color blind myself and I find this fascinating. This will change the way I buy lures from now on! Can't wait for your bass behavior videos to come out. Thanks again for the great content.
They are really interesting websites to investigate. I think you will enjoy putting different colors in there.
Great video Sir. Loved your gill swim jig example and found the green pumpkin soft plastic fascinating too. The in the water example really highlighted how it's devoid of negative cues when finesse is the game. Now think how chartrues highlights can be applied. I'll second the part 2 segment showing how different water conditions/color (opening a can of worms but wind and sun light too ???) can highlight or camouflage our baits. Maybe geeking out but this was cool. All the best.
Great info 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
This is really interesting. We don't have Bass in England but I do a lot of lure fishing for Pike and Perch, so does it also apply to other species ?
Awesome info. I always considered Bass were color blind and only see shades of white to black. Similar results for most colors
Each time I watch this I am amazed at how clear the red stands out. And like you said, a lot of the other colors are very similar.
Another great video Steve!
Thanks!
Awesome video
Thanks!
This is quite revolutionary. I am curious to see what my favorite color "Morning Dawn" looks like to a bass. I appreciate the video!
Those are super interesting websites to work with. Let me know what you find out!
Awesome I was told this years ago same thing you just said but I never seen it proven you've got it going on you just proved things
Thanks!
Absolutely
Steve, I enjoy your videos and the approach you take to researching and presenting material. As a retired optometrist I was very impressed with the in for nation in this video, amazing info. Now you’ve taught us about things we want the dads to see. How about doing a video about things we don’t want to bass to see like line in different colors?? Thanks again
I am actually working on that very video right now. Hope to have it out soon!
What a great topic! I've known about bass not having blue cone cells for some time, but seeing a great analog of how bass actually see really changes things! Smallmouth are notorious for just smashing loud-colored lures like chartreuse or fire tiger. I wonder if all you really need is white.
That is such a great question. I definitely plan on having more white options than I currently do. It was so fun spending time on this one.
Wish i knew if smallmouth see the same as largemouth
Very cool, thank you. Gonna throw a lot of red white this morning.
Good luck!
Great video. Really appreciate your research. This is good information.
This was really interesting. It did teach me that many of the lures I have purchased were basically useless to catch anything but my wallet.
Thanks for the information, and the presentation.
It was a really interesting video to work on. Thanks for watching!
Great analysis, very helpful.
Thanks
This video is amazing. I would love to know what bass see. I've never caught anything on chartreuse so its low confidence for me but now u see it looks normal to a bass. I stick with green pumpkin and black with blue flake colors for soft plastics and shad for hardbaits so now if it's dirty Im throwing more chartreuse! 😂
Whole new perspective on colors from the fish’s perspective 👍
Thanks. The black blue and green pumpkin ones really surprised me.
@@SteveRogersOutdoorsMe too. The Junebug color was very surprising and now I know why black n blue flake are more effective. Thanks for insight.
Would be nice if lure manufacturers actually made lures the colors the fish see so we had a more accurate picture of what the lure is replicating under water
I have caught more SPECIES of fish on red jig head, yellow grub, and silver spinner blade than any other. They are all attracted to that combo.
That is awesome! Love it when a lure just catches anything that swims. Thank you for sharing this.
Great info Steve. I have seen similar video's talking about water depth and color change according light penetration. What do you think
about that as an influence to what fish can see? Didn't read down, so if it's already been mentioned...Sorry!
Definitely the deeper things go the world becomes much more green. There have been some scuba divers on here mention that color change as they get deeper.
You out did yourself on this one, wow, no one has thought about this topic the way you presented it. Outstanding knowledge benefit and quite entertaining. Thanks a Million Steve. 😮
2:00 red with greenish? I see blue and white! Am I color blind!?😮😮😮
The red is overstated underwater.
As any scuba diver knows, water filters out red light. Below about 10 ft deep there is very little red light left and it looks more like black to us.
I suspect that for bass only green is left.
Can't go wrong with a Black/Blue jig or crankbait, especially mixed in with some silver.
Really enjoyed this video, was well done. One reason i liked it is i read the studies on largemouth vision. Things i never understood is i thought red was first color to disappear under water? Its a stretch but Steve do you think with your underwater camera you can test color red at multi depths in human lenses and bass lenses ?
I sure can give it a go. That would be really interesting. Thanks so much for the idea!
Fascinating and amazing ground breaking study as usual! Love that bluegill jig!
That bluegill swim jig has caught so many fish for me. Definitely my number one confidence lure for sure.
What a shocker
Awesome
Thanks and I appreciate you watching!
This reminds me of red fishing line. On one hand they say it’s invisible to fish, yet also say use red lures. This seems to show they see red quite well. I expected it to just look black like a silhouette.
Hey, Steve, great info. Pray u are well. Be safe
I am doing good! Pray your family is well also and that you are getting a chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
@@SteveRogersOutdoors my mom is dying, Steve. Not much time left. I have not enjoyed anything for months. I will though when she goes to Glory. Be safe, Steve
@@shannonkirby9295 I am so sorry. I will keep praying for you and your mom.
Bubblegum works amazing where i fish. Its awesome 😊
That is such a fun color to fish and we can see it too!
Supper dupper interesting! So does blue or green stand out more to a bass? The bright green on top of one lure looks more blue with filter
I kind of use the black-blue flake craw as the best example. Those bright blue flakes turned bright green with the filter on. They have green cones in their vision so that would seem the green should stand out more, but definitely some of the filtered hues had a bluish tinge to them.
This really changes everything! If every bass angler saw this, lure companies would go broke! This proves that products catch fisherman, not fish! “Gotta have one in every color”! When someone says keep it simple, this is exactly what it means now! And I agree, one of the most informative and important videos ever! Think you should do one in different water clarity as well. Thanks Steve!
Thanks! I will definitely have to do a part two.
Your point well taken. But if i may, since Steve introduced this to me( but I read the science studies long ago). I played with this Dalton Lense algorithm. Just because you have a blue bait and or baits with some blue spectrum in it, the blue shades do not go invisible. That is important in my short research, because it just shades it differently presumably to the bass. If say your goal is to match the hatch as they say, then use the links Steve provided to upload photos or if your a Linux Vs Windows user you can write your own program and include the Dalton Lense algorithm and make bait choices accordingly. Example i went to 6th sense website or maybe tackle warehouse grabbed some screenshots and boom could see the colors that caught fisherman and what a bass might see after passing through dalton lens
Chartreuse and/or white have been my go to colors for bass species including largemouth for many years. Sometimes they definitely prefer one color over the other. I even fish say white sometimes while my buddy throws chartreuse to see what they prefer that day. Also, sometimes white with a chartreuse tail out fishes all white or chartreuse. There's no way bass see them the same...
Amazing video. Thanks so much for sharing this info. Much appreciate you, Steve!
And thank you for watching!
Great video Steve, next time add a crawdad, thread fin and gizzard to the photo line up. Always look forward to your videos!
That is an excellent idea! I will try to do a followup sometime and include those. Thank you!
I was amazed on how that green pumpkin craw blended into the bottom😮
I was too! I was very surprised by that one.
I would love to see this information paired alongside how certain colors are reduced or lost at certain depths. Red, for example, loses it's color around 20ft. I wonder how other colors fair at different depths with the color filter on.
That is a great idea! I will probably be doing a part 2 sometime that will try to experiment with a lot of these questions folks have had. Good stuff.
Interesting video. Are the vision color limitations specific to bass or does it apply across most fish?
That is a terrific question. I'm not sure. I need to do a lot more research across different species and try to find out some answers on that one.
Great video. Now I’m wondering, without blue detectors do they have more red and green or do bass have more light detectors?
Excellent questions! I need to do some more research.
