After a year or more of not catching bass like I used too I watched this video. It reminded me that sometimes I need to return to basics. The rut I was in was more my fault than the fish not biting. Today I went to the lake and used the split shot rig and after my third cast of a dark purple worm I hooked up with a 2lb Spotted Bass. Not large I know but my dry spell has ended. In the next 3 hours I caught 5 more between 2 and 4 lbs. Just catching fish made my day. Thanks for reminding me to keep it simple. Great videos man!

Thank you for teaching those of us who are beginners or havent' fished in a while. Great videos!!!

I'm fairly new to bass fishing (at the age of 68), but have been educating myself by watching videos like yours and others. I need all the help I can get because I am the boat captain for my grandsons on their High School Fishing Club. This past Spring I was fishing with my grandsons on Sam Rayburn in East Texas and, even though I didn't know it had a name, I rigged my pole with a set-up exactly (well not quite exactly, I used a YUM Swurm, watermelon/pearl) like you demonstrated here. We were fishing in about 3 to 4 feet of water in under some cypress trees. I caught a nice (between 2 and 3 pounds) bass on each of two consecutive casts! Needless to say, I was pumped. Suddenly everyone wanted to fish the same rigging! Thanks for the video. Now I know I'm not completely crazy! If you are ever in East Texas around Sam Rayburn, I'd love to meet you. You mentioned you may come to a lake in Texas and there's none better than Sam Rayburn!

After a few years of your videos, I think that this is my favorite. You've had more fun, done more detail, and so on. But this cuts to the heart of what makes you good. Teaching the world to fish. Catching the first is where it starts.

My dad won't teach me how to fish because it's a "man's" sport but I am so excited to teach myself how to fish! Thank you for the video !! +1 Subscriber!

I've been watching your vids for 2-3 years. Finally I get around to letting you know how much I appreciate your tutoring. It's nice to know that even you pros can make (or try to make) a cast without opening your bail. I had to laught at you.

Thank you! Yesterday was my first time fishing. I didn’t catch anything but I did get practice on how to cast and hook a worm. I was fishing based on little knowledge as a child. But this is more helpful!

I learned that rig when I was a kid. (Dad) It teaches you patience as well. I would always watch the tip of the fishing pole as well. Summer time fish are very passive. Lol

Just caught my FIRST EVER largemouth bass (a cool 12 inch long one!) this very morning after watching this video yesterday night. Thanks Flukemaster!!!

Glad to see I am not the only one who occasionally forgets to open the bail! :-) Great advice and one of the basic must-know bassing tactics. Thank you sir!

Thank you! I watched this video last night before bed and went out this morning and caught my first largemouth bass using this technique. Thank you for making it simple and easy for beginners to understand and follow.

@@Flukemaster I had a experience catching a fish

in summer 2020, I watched this video after struggling to catch anything and I tried it. Ngl, I caught 12 Bass in a day of fishing after doing the Texas Rig. Huge thanks Gene!

I know this video is a few years old, but I wanted to report on my use of the rig. Academy Sports was out of all lead products so no split shot. But I did have a small barrel weight and some bobber stops. Added a 1/0 round bend offset worm hook and a June bug Zoom magnum trick work. It was dark so I couldn’t see my line but felt the thump at the end of my rod sweep. I stopped and felt it at the other end. I reeled down and set the hook to the side and pulled in a nice 15-16 inch largie. It works. Now I plan to teach this to my youngest for our trip later this month.

It has been many years since I caught my first fish. But if I were going fishing with someone new this is what I have them do. Thank you for the introductory lesson I learned something new. I would not hate on you for having a boat and I was relived to see that I am not the only person on the water who forgets to open the bail on occasion. Thank you for the great work you do and the can do attitude!

As a beginner, I suggest you try using a Mepps dressed aglia in-line spinner, in size 3 and 4. They come in many different colors, for use in different water/weather conditions. I guarantee you will catch a bass within your first 5 casts. When nothing else in my box works, or I just want to reel ‘em in all day, I use my Mepps dressed aglia spinners. Just cast and retrieve. I have caught more bass (mostly largemouth)with mine, than with any of my other lures and baits, over the past 22 years.

So wel explained . Looking forward to my first catch!!!

But Gene there’s no water in the lakes in California

Just getting back into fishing after like 10 years. So rusty. This video is super helpful. Thank you.

I'm from North Carolina. Charlotte area. been fishing a few dozen times this year.. only ever had any luck with red worms and nightcrawlers. could be I haven't been using my different lures right. but your vids are very helpful. thanks alot!

Catching a bass is my New Years revelation. I will try to do this. It is the winter so it is probably harder. Thanks for this tutorial!

Love the ol' closed-bail cast lol Great tips, Gene, thumbs up!

I loved Fishing because it is Relaxing and having a frew Beers 🍺 and put some Country Music on and Reflective

Great video! It's easy to get overwhelmed as a beginner. I need to start catching some bass to get my confidence up. Definitely gonna give this a shot next time out! Really enjoy all your videos. Thanks for helping me get going in bass fishing. Keep up the good work!

Thanks gene, because of this video I was able to go in a fishing trip with my dad for the first time

Checklist for first bluegill... boat, fish finder, rods and reels, a kayak because if I am not catching them on the lake it means they are in the creek, tons of tackle, and a new truck to pull the boat.

I wanted to make a fishing rod out of bamboo, yarn, and a safety pin and try to catch something for my first time, worked great

Good vid. I just searched because I plan on doing the same video on my channel. I believe best first lure is a Texas Rig worm in watermelon or green pumpkin (my area). Easy to fish, doesn't get snagged if done properly and almost impossible to fish wrong. Only thing I don't do is use weights. Especially split shot because they weaken the line and if you hook up with a big bass (in my experience) the line will break at the crimp from the weight.

This is a great video. Thank you so much. I'm going to try this the next time I fish for bass.

Okay I just subscribed lol I love this guy. My husband and kids are city folk, I'm taking them fishing and it is going to be funny as heck. I came for a few pointers and man I'll tell you what... You are hilarious 🤣😆😂

Thank you for showing us that it may take long to get a fish most people skip to the fish catching part thank you🤟🏼🤙🏼👍🐡🐠🐬🐙🦐🦞🦀🦀🐋🦈🐍🛶🚤⚓️

Great video before going fishing first time in years tomorrow. God Bless yaal! Thank you!

I like your videos. I live in Southwest Louisiana and we have some marshes here with some really nice Florida strain bass in them. There really aren't any tutorial videos on You Tube about marsh fishing. Some of the lake fishing technic's you use can be applied but for the most part, marsh fishing for Largemouth bass requires a different approach. The water in the marsh is crystal clear and it's shallow with lots of vegetation. I would like to see you do some marsh fishing tutorial videos. I'm not a beginner, I've been fishing these marshes since I was a kid, I'm now 56 years old. I'm always open to learn something new.

your channel has grown alot congrats...u deserve it.....fishing is much diff in cali but u have always been one of the best on explaining .......i would say u and tactical bassin are my 2 fav channels

Dude, thank you so much for this simple video! 1st time was kinda rough trying to fish at a lake, but feel more confident after watching this. Thanks again

If any one else posted a video called "how to catch your FIRST fish" I would not have watched it but hey you do it and here I am.And it was a good one thanks for all the great videos.

Now I realize why the snappers are not biting as they used to. I stopped using the split shot. Thanks Gene for helping me with my saltwater shore fishing

My son wants to learn to fish. I'm learning too, and your videos are great. Keep up the good work!

"Make sure you open the bail" LOL. I do that ALL the time. Seeing you do it once makes me feel a lot better! You did that on purpose for us Googans...didn't you? ;)

Use a #3 or #4 Mepps dressed aglia in-line spinner. Color is dependent on water clarity, time of day, cloudy/sunny, etc. You can bank fish them, or fish them from a boat. I have caught many many biggins with these lures, over the past 20 years, during all seasons. When every other lure in my tackle box won’t work on a fishing day, the Mepps dressed aglia always saves the day.

Love this video Gene... definitely gonna try this on those days that just seem unusually slow. 👍🏼

Super helpful and informative!! Subscribed!

Great video thank you I can attest my niece did this accidentally with the blackworm and did exactly what you did with the dragging and she got a bass

Hey Flukemaster, I'm a Junior in High school right now and 2 of my Senior friends started a bass fishing club with me. Once they graduate I will be leading it.

That would be really awesome both for the younger members and for me to learn to teach better just by watching you.
