I'd like to see him do a video in today's world, with all the different stuff we as anglers have at our finger tips, just to see what has changed with his worm fishing over the years. The General
Just bought my first spool ever of trilene honestly out of necessity no fluorocarbon to be found. But it comes off my baitcaster maybe smoother than any other line!
Just the information in this video will give you a lifetime of enjoyable fishing. I was in my prime when this was recorded. Back half of a gator tail was my favorite plastic jig trailer.
Great info. On worm fishing 🎣 back in the 80's this was also my favorite way of fishing. Just started fishing again a year ago in a new area but having tried this yet been spinnerbait fishing 🎣
I've been trying to find this for years. I used to watch this when I was a kid but could not remember who the angler was, the name of the video or anything real specific. The only thing I could remember was it was about plastic worms and the guy saying "pick him..let him fall. Pick him up...let him fall." Thanks for uploading this!
I see your point, don't know what these other dudes are so touchy about. 6 foot pistol grip rods use to be the norm. First bait caster I ever got was a left handed Daiwa on a 6 foot medium action pistol grip rod. Hell Hank parker still uses them. I watched a video from last year and he had 3 or 4 on front deck of his boat. I wouldn't have one now or a rod less then 6'6" long but back then, that was the deal.
I always have my Shimano bull whip with a bantam 50 with a spinnerbait tight on in my kayak or my ranger it's like hand-to-hand combat if you catch a 5 lb on it 🎣
My dentist asked me when I was probably 20 years old, "do you do alot of fishing?" I'm like yeah all the time. Why do you ask? He told me my two teeth on right hand side of my mouth, beside my k9s had chips in them and lot of fishermen have that, and he told me not to do it. I'm 31 years old now and still do it to this day. Its just so quick. I know it ain't good but I can never find my scissors or anything to cut with. Half time I use lighter to cut my braid because I can't keep up with scissors. Or they are rusted. I have bit up to 40 pound mono with my teeth lol.
Are you kidding? Pistol grip rods were great never had a problem with them. Proably still own more than 25 . Don’t use them much except in tight quarters .
I come back to these videos over and over. I have never re-watched a ffs video. Just saying........🤷🏻♂️
You had me at red man
Wow , I had totally forgotten about the gator tail worm . I'm getting old
I still have a box full of them, and a few bags - probably 75 baits total in several colors.
That Red Man commercial was fn great.
I was coming to the comment section just to say that too, you don’t see that much anymore
Yes Its Bing Back Memories 😎👍

True in '86, true in '21. Man I miss the 80's. I can tie a Trilene knot with one hand, eye's closed and while asleep. lol
Just bought my first spool ever of trilene honestly out of necessity no fluorocarbon to be found. But it comes off my baitcaster maybe smoother than any other line!
Well im off to get some redman and fish a texas rig. This was 10x more entertaining than the crap we see now
Good to be able to see these good old videos
After watching these old videos, one of the many things that amazes me is how many pros confuse a rod's action with a rod's power.

Glad I found this channel.

🔥🔥I’m watching this now 6/7/21 and EVERYTHING!!! is still dead on relevant today 🔨🔨🏆
this is so cool, I found a crank bait in my old tackle box with his signature on it then looked up his name! you can learn a lot from this guy!
Love this

This was awesome.
Amazing!! Thank you! This was the best bass catching info I have ever heard!!!
Love this channel way to step outside the box.
Great fishing knowledge.
Dam u got to love the old teaching!!! 💯💯💯💪👍
When he said people expect the strike to be hard hitting. I honestly get butterflies when I see my line gently getting taken to the side. I get all 🥰🥰
With the increased popularity of Kayak fishing, those old pistol grip rods should also come back into popularity.
I'm sorry, what?
@@BookieRitch the short stubby handles are ideal for the limited space on a kayak
Says someone who has never fished from a kayak....

I learned how to rig a worm with a live bait hook. This was awesome 😎
Ain't nuthin like that thump!
That thump is what I have spent 100s of thousands of dollars chasing... That thump is life changing and always keeps you coming back.
Not bragging.
I have caught thousands of fish.
This man gives great advice.
Listen, watch and learn.
keep posting vids
the trilene knot has been a good knot for me. if the general uses it, all the better

Nixon's Dentist was hearing "ching ching" sounds in his head every time he see's him biting his fishing line.

I’ve bit line for 40 yrs. never use clippers or other tools. Only bite.
Bite ya some 20lb Fluro lol
@@EDCandLace Fluor is all hype to over charge and increase profits mono works just fine as a main line or as a leader on your braid
Wonder if the ole pistol grip rods will ever return?
they sure are, bfs fishermen love them!
O No Its Gone 😎👍
The pistol grip rods are the most mind boggling part... I have bass fished for 25 years and my first rod was a pistol grip rod but they are so bad.
I was just looking at that. Lol 😆
Are you kidding? Pistol grip rods were great never had a problem with them. Proably still own more than 25 . Don’t use them much except in tight quarters .
When all else fails ... Go to the plastic worm.. 🐛🐛 The Frye Guy
The number one fishing technique should always be
1. Own a Boat
Bet he's the reason Berkley calls their stick worm "the general"
A 6' worm rod. Today every rod is about 7'.
Found this video Becuase my dad has a pure signed by him
Lure*
Don't ferget yer chaw.
Every big bass gets the worm.
Pick him up let him fall
A lot of times they catch a fish they re-hook the fish let him swim away and then ACTION camera 🎥 is back on and the use the footage
Ummmm no....
