Complete Guide To Video Game Fishing | Sonar, Tackle, and Areas Explained

In this video, I share everything you need to know to be a successful video game fisherman! Everything from understanding how to identify your drop shot on 2d sonar, to baits, retrieve, areas and even some of my own secret tips! Hope you enjoy!

Best fishing videos on YT... thank you for not just being a 15min expensive gear advertisement

Another cool thing to note: when you caught that fish at 12:07, the weight transfer of you (presumably) moving away from the front of the boat caused the nose of the boat and, consequently, the trolling motor/transducer to lift, registering as slightly deeper water on the sonar.

#1- When I meet you, I’m gonna give you a hug....#2- When I get a tandem kayak, I’m gonna schedule an on the water trip (you have to go!) #3- This is the best sonar/relation to boat video on You Tube. Thank you!

Johnny I watched this video a year ago, a time or two since and again now. You offer the best descriptions of anyone. Hope you make it to Arizona some time. Fishing here seems harder. More time looking in all the wrong places, more effort, less bites. With 100+ degree temperature plus 80+ degree water and fish going deep any little tidbits to find fish helps. Can’t catch em if ya can’t find em. Thanks.

I've watched many bass fishing videos. None are as informative and excutable as yours. After one of your videos I feel I KNOW HOW to do what you've taught. Thanks!

[SilverMt.]

Thank you. I got a used boat and it had a 10 year old fish finder and now I know what I am looking at and how to set it up. may the force be with you.

[NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I will say this happens to be the best explain and most thorough video on the subject that I have seen. Thank you for your time and eat information!

[diggy]

I hope your channel keeps this format. I don't even have a boat and I'm watching this. Be one of the go to guys for great info, almost everyone switched to vlogs.

[carolemcconnell]

Yes, that was a good explanation.this will help, thanks for showing how to read a depth- finder in- part ...will watch again to learn...

[erichaxton]

Thanks bro. Very educational. I just got a Lowrance eagle 7 I never used one before so I’m watching as many vids I cam. Learned a lot. Thanks

[stuartcarter]

Well that was pretty cool. I watched your video, went out on the lake (LOZ), found some fish, and caught them just like how you said! FIRST VIDEO GAME DROPSHOT

[riverrunful]

Excellent video! I have learned so much from you!

[FishOn]

Excellent, comprehensive lesson. Thanks! I completely agree on the FG knot. It takes a little time to learn, but once you do, it doesn’t take that long to tie. I have never had it fail!

[hankypanky]

This is the best and most informative video I have seen on YouTube, love the way you explained is very helpful and thank you, greeetz from Holland-Amsterdam...cheeeers

[dee_b_wildin]

helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make the vid:)

[blkgsxrable]

You make some of the most helpful videos on youtube.

[AdamCraigOutdoors]

learning the electronics you have will help you catch more fish! I use mine mostly for ice fishing and i catch 75% more fish in the last couple years vs when i didn't own one. I also map out lakes in the open water season which has really helped my catching rates!!

Great video, keep making them.

[scottvaughn]

Thank you for helping me catch my first 2d sonar bass today. The best part was your video convinced my friend to finally back off the bank and give it a try! By far the best videos on the web. When finances are straight I'll def join and donate to the cause.

[envylures]

Dude you are straight up the best man!! Can’t thank you enough for all this hard work an details and just ...thanks you man thank you

[denisberger]

Thanks man. Unbelievable info. Love following your videos as a new tournament fisherman, and drop shotter. Keep em coming.
