Best skipping instructional on YouTube!

Jonny, I have to apologize because I said to myself, when I began watching your videos, that there is no way this young guy knows squat about pro tips. Saying I was wrong would be an understatement. I love how you explain things, and I love how enthusiastic you are about fishing and teaching. Thanks for making me humble, and thanks for what you do. Keep it up brother.

This is HANDS DOWN THE BEST skipping tutorial on YouTube! You covered everything we need to know. Now it’s all about practice.

Three yrs later and this is probably still one of the best how to skip videos out there.

[OldLadyAngler]

Awesome! Have never heard the "tucked arm" advice. Will give this a try. Thank you.

The best explanation on Youtube, I think 4 people are mad that you shared the real technique with all of us.

Hi Jonny. Just want to say that your tip about keeping your arm tucked is just amazing. It has honestly revolutionized my skipping efforts! Thank you very much indeed.

So, been pretty much power fishing all of my life...cranks, spinners, jerkbait, chatter..etc. Also used a stick worm, but never used a jig. Just started to slow down and use them and love it. Just recently, started to learn how to skip. Could not get it consistent and knew there was something I was missing. Tucking the arm up against the armpit was the issue! I just got back in from practicing on our pond. It made all the difference in the world. Funny thing is, watched so many videos and not one person ever mentioned this. Just wanted to say thank you!

I watch a lot of YouTube fishing videos and yours are some of the best out there. I learn a lot from these! Keep it up! If you're ever up in Wisconsin give me a shout!

[cajunnathan]

Out of all the videos on Skipping a Jig, Yours is the BEST!

[josephpalma]

My two go to channels to watch for education is you and tactical bassin! Keep grinding man I'm sharing your channel with all my friends!

[lukespivey]

Been waiting for this tutorial - Thanks! I subscribe to like 10 fishing channels and I don't watch nearly everything most of them post, but when I see that icon on your channel, I'm always excited!

[Jeff_in_Florida]

Awesome. I enjoy coming back to older stuff. New stuff is good but older stuff was great

[DBZSTAY]

You are the first person I've seen on YouTube talk about tucking in your arm when skipping I was terrible at skipping before I started tucking in my arm when I skipped but no it's like second nature I learned it by trial and error now if someone asks me about skipping I tell them to tuck there arm in when they cast and I'm glad someone on YouTube explained that for new anglers trying to get better

[adammitchell]

Killer tutorials on this channel... fundamental skills being taught here

[docgillygun]

This rivals any of the Bassmaster, FLW, or MLF pro videos on skip casting. You got a future brother.

[johnallen]

First fishing instructional video that was presented in a way that actually taught. Thanks

[fxr]

while we're locked down and it's still cold here in western burbs of Chicagoland, the tip to keep your elbow tucked to your side has helped my accuracy for underhanded and side arm casting immensely!!! Can't wait to get to the lake and practice skipping w/ the things you shared here!!! keep up the good work, be safe! Thanks

That war eagle Ozark craw color is MONEY. I love that color for pretty much and color of water clarity and time of year.

Best detailed how to for skipping and by such a young person.
