14 minutes of Greg Hackney sight fishing two bedding bass

Unfiltered. Unedited. At Santee Cooper, Greg Hackney got into a 14-minute battle with two bedding bass by a cypress tree. Hackney tried to only coax the biggest fish, but had to catch both to make it happen. Here is Hackney's process to catch those two fish. #bassmaster #greghackney #fishing

Watch his movements, boat control, color of his jacket, pants, baits, glasses where he positions himself in the sun. All carefully orchestrated. Love watching Hackney. He's a phenomenal fisherman. When I wanted to fish jigs better, he was one of the first guys I watched, but is a well rounded fisherman.

So calm, so collected. A best example of a fisherman.

Natural fisherman...Tak mentioned that in an interview once and he nailed it.

Dude I had the same problem the other day I was fishing I saw a monster bass for my area with 3 other bass with her I was bank fishing I couldn’t get her too bite I missed my chance on that first cast and I tried for a few hours but I couldn’t get her to commit small jig big jig slow falling jig fast falling jig Texas rig Ned rig watermelon green pumpkin black blue plastic brown with a blue plastic trailer crank baits poppers frogs I even threw the kitchen sink at her and nadda that’s why you’re the best of the best Greg Hackney love your jigs as well

John Cox spent 4 hours fishing for a 12 lber, which anyone would do IF they knew they were going to catch the fish. Give him a live shiner and he'd have landed that monster in less than 10 minutes. Live bait rules

You guys in the south have so many bass that a 5 year old could be a bass pro. I live in Nebraska where you have to work to get your bass. I would love for you southern boys and girls come here and have a bass tournament, then we see how good you are at bass fishing.

Everyone's a pro when they're on the bed

[erniebrightfishing]

Anybody can do that?? I don't think you understand fully what it takes to catch bedding bass. Yeah you see them yeah you might get your lure there but you have to literally be within inches of where they're going to lay their eggs I have seen Bass pick a lure up and move it off the bed and you can't catch it because it doesn't swallow the hook it barely gets the nip of the lure and carries it away so before you talk down on anybody make sure you can do it. Harder than it looks.

[discgolferroc]

Bed fishing takes no skill just time and pissing the bass off.

[jerrylanglois]

Anybody can do that, how bout showing us how to find and catch fish off shore ?
