On social media, it has to be FFS hate or MLF/B.A.S.S rivalry.

Unfortunately it’s not just bass fishing it’s fishing in general. A good chunk of the community seems to hate helping new people. Thankfully y’all are setting a welcoming tone for the new bass guys.

It’s unfortunate that you Guys have to deal with that. I hope that you both realize that the majority of us enjoy hearing of your experiences, use the information you provide, and have more fun in our own fishing adventures. Keep it up fellas!

The most toxic thing I see as a stream fisherman is people wanting to see your tackle and when they realize I carry nothing but inline spinners I have to get a 10 minute lecture about all the things I “need to be using”. I’m 40 years old I’ve fished a lot of lures/baits, I CHOOSE to use what I use because, I WANT to.

I have to come out of the closet - I use braid to mono with big glide baits (wait for it) on a SPINNING REEL!

You nailed it guys. I had the pleasure of taking a young man on his first fishing experience a couple of years ago. He was an exchange student who is a friend of my oldest son, both 20. First cast of his life on a wacky rig, a dicey cast at that, almost 2 pounder from the bank on a wacky rig. He had no idea even how to reel it in, but he landed it! The joy on his face when he face timed his parents, and their reaction, I'll never forget. That's what the sport should be about. Appreciate all the knowledge you share, & I wish you happiness going forward!

Can't wait to see the comments on this one. 🤣 As Debo always says 2+2 doesn't always equal 4 in fishing. I don't use leaders, but neither of us is wrong. Great vid as always.

It's crazy how people judge themselves on how good they are by the size of fish they catch . I have caught one DD bass it was in a farm pond and I have never caught a DD bass since . It's been over 30yrs chasing a New PB Bass. But it didn't make me a better fisherman than anyone else . I love helping others out because if I know what they are hitting on for me I will tell them . The fish aren't mine they belong to whomever owns the water they live in . We as fisher-people need to teach one another to keep the sport growing ...

The only fact or truth I know about fishing is that I sometimes fall into fish, other times I don’t, and I don’t have a clue why. Either way, a day on the water is a good day.

This video is timely. I recently got into a huge argument with someone about tournament kayak fishing. He doesn't understand why I have minimal interest in tournament kayak fishing. I love kayak fishing. I could care less about seeing how I compare to others.

What you've explained is widespread in all forms of fishing. I can vouch that it happens in the UK. We don't have freshwater bass. But I enjoy listening to you and trying to adapt it to our style of fishing. Good luck and tight lines for 2024.

That’s so cool!!! Good luck to you too!

Winter time fishing here in NC is amazing because the boat ramp is so welcoming and not as packed.

I fish a local striper spot that happens to require a pretty particular style of fishing to catch the fish there and I luckily had five or six guys down there coach me on it and were just as happy as me when I caught my first down there. Wouldn't have had my pb without those guys.

When I started posting on IG the bucket that gave me apprehension was the brand/gear bucket. Posting with my then ugly stick and Lew’s classic pro. But over the past couple years I’ve learned to not care. I fish the gear I have, catch the small fish in my northeast ponds, and enjoy it as best as I can.

One of the very best videos ever on how to deal with all the noise, great insight. I think the toxic reactions you mention are hilarious, that’s how I react when I see them.

I used to live next door to where tournament weigh ins take place. I used to take my boy over to look at the fish. I would be spoken to like I am an idiot. But little did they know. I have 40 years of experience on this water. And my family members have won a hundred walleye tournaments here. I do believe that luck surpasses skill when hundreds of angler's compete. And when luck and skill intersect. Look out

I’m from Los Angeles so our lakes are extremely pressured so literally no one will tell you what bait they used 😂

Did I just watch a sensitivity training video?😮 haha, I'm totally joking. I am sincerely sorry that people drop their "meanness" inhibition online. We don't usually act like that in person. Anyway, keep rolling, and speaking of toxic...did you see that Nowak said the Ned Rig was dead! Made me cry all night 😅. Happy New Year, JJ

Everyone I have met in the kayak fishing community has been amazing. We have some great kayak anglers here in Maryland. Awesome group of people.

We all need to love and learn from each other

I think the best thing for fishing and in life in general is to try new things and be prepared for new experiences. If your fishing you should be doing it for enjoyment. You may have days that your skunked but you may have great days. If you're not catching try something new, whats the worse that can happen, you still dont catch! The experience and trail and error will teach you about your bodys of water and weather conditions. Just get out there and enjoy.

I use leader sometimes, sometimes not. Certain situations leaders far exceeds straight braid. I agree, you can catch fish either way. Brand loyalty is ridiculous. Some people go out of their way to trash certain brands which work really well. It seems it may have more to do with you promotes their favorite brand vs who is promoting the brand they trash. I have brands I prefer for certain lures or soft baits but it is typically based on my success rates. I have had some of best days fishing using inexpensive soft baits that most “expert” commenters won’t give the time of day. It’s about finding what works for you and if you find something that may help someone else politely/ diplomatically pass it along. Keep the content coming. I really enjoy your videos.

You guys killed it! Totally agree with you. Lets just go out and enjoy the outdoors and fishing and support others that do the same! Thank you guys!

Thank you for addressing the toxic world of bass fishing. Some people today are simply unkind. My Dad shared his thoughts years ago telling me this: “You can never please all the people all the time! So don’t try. Be yourself, be kind, be considerate, do the best job you can and forget the haters.” I’ve added this to his great narrative. “Don’t put up with bullies! When appropriate put them in their place.” In your case block their access to your channel. 95% of your subs will praise you for doing it.

PERSONAL PREFERENCE and AGREE TO DISAGREE people struggle with those things so much. Just because we see things differently doesn’t mean we can’t be friends or sit at the same table…. To each their own its yo money not mine.

Men the world is toxic!! I watch your videos and all the other fishing videos to learn different and new techniques that I can apply to my fishing days when it gets tuff.. keep the honest opinions coming!.

As long as your fishing your doing it right

Thanks for a great video. Sharing is important in fishing, if I catch a big bass or learn a new technique I quickly put out a new episode on my channel. I dont care if I burn a spot or let out a secret. If you love fishing you should want to share with your fellow anglers.

For someone who is very new to bass fishing as an actual serious hobby, I have absolutely run into some of these things. For instance I've hunted my whole life! I'm in a few groups here in AZ. If a new guy comes into a Facebook group and says, "hey im a new hunter, was thinking of heading to x area and was wanting to go do some scouting. Anybody who knows that area willing to come out and show me a few things?" As long as you're not just asking for spots or seeming like you are wanting something for nothing then there is always guys who will jump in and be willing to work with and help that guy. On the other hand since I've been the new guy for the first time in a long time starting a new hobby I've noticed a completely different thing in the bass fishing community. There's still some great guys out there no doubt. But the secretiveness is beyond what it is for a prime hunting spot and that's actually where someone will come I and potentially harvest an animal that you are watching and then you will lose a chance to ever harvest that animal. We all catch and release for the most part so yeah not being willing to give any advice or being willing to go with someone and show them some things gas made it tough for me getting started in bass fishing. And the guys at the bait shop will tell you. "There's giants un Canyon lake and everyone that fishes it keeps a super tight lip on where and how they catch their fish". The way I see it is, I'm gonna figure it out one way or the other lol. I just definitely will not be perpetuating that kind of secretive crap to the extent that you are almost being greedy in a way. The second is that I almost got into a fight my second time at a boat ramp launching my kayak. I was in front of a guy towing a boat. I was going to back down the boat ramp right at the entrance side of the ramp, away from the dock itself. So I pull up left preparing to immediately back down to the water almost not clearing the entrance to the ramp because I'm Basically making a 10 second 3 point turn and backing straight down. The guy towing his boat who was riding my A like crazy almost plows into the back of my truck. I'm a super super friendly guy but if you scare me in a way where I also feel like you almost ruined both our days I'm gonna be pretty hot immediately lol. Luckily I think the guy realized his mistake but also that I was mad enough that it definitely could still have ended that day if he hadn't have said "we don't have a problem" lol. But then after of course I end up paddling straigh by them about 30 min later because they just had to rush to the most accessible water on the lake 🤦‍♂️ and I was honestly hoping we could squash it since I'm sure we'll see each other again at that ramp and they would not even turn to look at me. I was like wow 🤦‍♂️ this is definitely different lol. In hunting you're fighting either with words or fists, or you become friends lol. Not a lot of deushy in between like I'm finding in bass fishing lol. Idk maybe the etiquette about how I did what I did was off and he could have told me. It just sucked to have that be my second experience on the ramp when there was literally only the 2 of us on a big ramp and we still had an issue. Too much outta me but that was Definitely some things I've observed so far. I'm sure I'll see the rest soon 😂

I love your channel. I love being part of The Nerd Community.

Great video guys! I'm in agreement with you! Keep up the great work!!!

I've left a couple of comments digging Monsterbass and other certain "off brand" bait companies you guys have reviewed, but it's because I PERSONALLY love you guys and just want to see your take and opinion on things I would be more likely to buy.

Love this topic. It helps to have well honed filter for nonsense these days. Keep it up.👊

If anyone cares so much to chime in on anyone else's fishing anything, it should be positive. Fishing is so personal and I think more "IMO" should be offered than slandering a rookies fish. Whats right for you may not be for the guy next to you...thata fine. Just bring the overall toxicity down %10 would be greeeaatttt 👍 love what you guys do!!!

I fish the ned rig because somebody on the Internet said there is no wrong way to fish it... Sounds like the bait for me! Lol

Leave the mother's out of this

Is sad but true how people are.. To me there is no rules in fishing.. Yes I live here in the South Georgia I get skunked a lot but I have fun on the water learning something new

There's absolutely no need for the constant shit posting by some people. Fishing is relaxing. It's enjoying the beauty of nature. As a content creator, I'm less concerned with how people do things (leader vs no leader, etc) and more concerned with giving enough info to allow people to make an informed decision. I use leaders only when crappie fishing with slip bobbers, or saltwater fishing with popping corks. Doesn't mean my way is the only way...just means it's how I prefer to do it.

I was into RC cars and trucks and the online message boards ruined that hobby for many with the Fan Boy mentality. Unfortunately i see it happening in bass fishing, people in general have to relax great conversation piece NERZ

Everybody lies about fish length..... That's just fishing to one up your buddy. most average fish is 1 to 3 lbs. It's called fishing and the north it's difficult. Cheers brothers 🍺

I have been fishing my whole life and still have people saying if you would do this or that you would catch more fish I have been fishing with brother and we be like 30 feet from him and he would catch more fish or I would and we both fishing the same thing I do know why it just happens thank you guys enjoy your videos

Good lord… unnecessary

Brand specific can also have to do with logo design...color, appealing to the eye, etc.

I think the vast majority of dedicated bass anglers tend to forget what they’re doing. You’re fishing. And most are most defiantly not making a living doing it. It’s not rocket science and at the end of the day it doesn’t even have to be specific. I think bass guys are most anal group of fishermen. I think that also has to do with the times we live in. Dudes see these guys on the internet in $100,000 boats loaded to the gills (😬) with high end gear using ultra specific expensive baits and now that’s the only way to do it now. I see it everyday at work. Guys will come in trying to get into bass fishing on a light budget and a bass fishing co-worker will end up trying to sell him $300 Megabass rod, a $300 Zillion reel, $30 braid, and a basket full of $15 baits 😂. Like, dude, they aren’t going for that and you killed the sale immediately. Just put together a decent combo under $100 and sell him some Senko’s, a few jigs/trailers, and a few top water baits. Dude will be a bass catching machine and then he can come back and upgrade his gear in the future. If he even feels the need to. That stuff drives me crazy. Or everyone that walks in is looking to spend $500+ on getting into fishing. From my experience, most folks like to be around $50 mark for a combo but when they realize that isn’t possible unless they are running the lowest quality gear possible, they tend to be more than willing to spend up another $50-$75 to not buy garbage. And that’s for spinning setups. Mention baitcasting and that opens up a whole other can of worms (😬). You don’t need a $500 7’6” heavy baitcasting setup running 50lb braid to get into bass fishing and I think this “high-end or bust” mentality is killing the reason why we all got into fishing in the first place. To have fun. Having said that, I do really enjoy using my high-end application specific gear. But it’s completely unnecessary in almost every angling situation. A setup can only be so light and sensitive and specific and the harsh reality is that the vast minority of anglers don’t even posses the wherewithal to discern the differences from low to high end gear unless that difference is severely drastic. Which, even going from a $15 rod to a $40 rod there is going to be a significant difference. The other thing to consider is that a lot of anglers simply do not care about sensitivity and to a lesser degree, weight. Most of them are just soaking worms anyways. But, that $40 rod is leaps and bounds better than the $15 rod. Same goes for reels, line, baits, and terminal tackle. Most anglers don’t care about that stuff, they just want to get out of it the cheapest way possible. But if they are fishing legally and having fun, who cares. And that goes for the high-end guys too. My entire point to this long ass post is that just because a dude is throwing $15 Whopper Ploppers on $300 combo doesn’t mean that’s the only way to get the job done and that “this is the only way” mentality deters a lot of new anglers into not even trying because all of that stuff is super expensive. And this is all just one aspect of the hobby. You’d be surprised by how many guys don’t buy the rod with the exact specs they’ve been looking just because it says “walleye” on it. And don’t get me started on the guys where color coordinating their combos is the most important aspect of fishing. I’ve sold some very questionable setups due to the colors having to match🤦‍♂️ If you’ve made it this far, thank you for letting me rant about work!

So I said something to the dude about it and he turned all that toxicity on me. The guy was talking about how bro doesn't need to be posting baits asking questions and needs to get out and fish, then he went on about how he doesn't need people defending him, especially not me and my 4 pound pb🤦 although I'm not really hurt by it because I am a walleye and trout fisherman by nature and only recently got into bass fishing I just don't understand the need to jump on someone else's page to be a dick like that.

All are jigs and it might not be ideal once you understand the concept you can do it all with all whatever you have. As long as you can get to the bottom.

I've thought about this. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of anger in the fishing community and while I think are a few possibilities, it may be that this sport differs in a major way. There are an unlimited amount of hole in one's that can be made in the golf world, there are not an unlimited amount of bass that can be caught. The more people there are fishing, and the better they are, theoretically the less fish "I" can catch. It may be triggering an evolutionary response

I've noticed during covid, (and it has lingered on afterwards) that alot more people have taken up fishing. Its gotten to the point that at many of my local lakes it is almost impossible to find a spot to fish. When I do find a spot its been so pressured that its almost impossible to catch anything. So in a way I can understand some of the "gatekeeping".

The catch and release folks against the catch and eat are the worst. If they caught it and want to eat it because they like eating fish, fukken let them. They put in the work and the time.

Both times were panfish anglers. Both of them were boaters who ran right up & fished right next to me. 20-40ft away while I was in my yak. Fishing in the same spot. I could have sent a couple ounce weight through their hull but just moved on instead. Good times.

Every group is bad… humans can suck

Iv gotten dumbass remarks on owning an ole town sportsman Autopilot 120 " why didnt you just buy a boat" i usually answer Because i didnt want to, people are trolls by nature especially bass boat owners against kayak anglers

If it works for you, it's not wrong.

You forgot the “fairy stick” comments. 😂 It’s even worse being a woman fisherman. The list of rudeness is too long for this post. I offered a guy some baits and a couple tips and he basically said no thanks he didn’t need my help (not that nice of a tone). One of my very first fish I caught was literally kicked by a guy at the boat ramp. My fishing buddy and I Laugh about that one every time we go to that boat ramp! A holes are everywhere and it’s too bad. I just try not to be one back. Keep up the good work. Maybe run into you sometime on the water. I’ll try not to be a jerk! 😂

Sucks that you’ve had to put up with the rest of us acting like idiots. Appreciate your tenacity and I’m glad they didn’t keep you away from the water!

@@paulglass7268 not much keeps me from the water. Goal is 60 days and 1000 fish every year (panfish don’t count in my numbers). Good news is most of the jerks are in the glitter boats. I can usually find a spot they can’t get into.

@@mariaruhlman424it’s always the glitterboat hobbyists. They wave their privilege around like they own the lakes because they have a high end boat. I find the professionals are actually more willing to help than the hobbyists.

Some people attach their identity to their hobbies so if someone does something differently than they do, and are successful, their identity is challenged.

Heh. As a woman…. Yah. Anyway. Good one as always guys!

Screw this video and screw you personally. There's no toxicity in fishing! I've caught more 10#ers on my $900 Daiwa reel in every different situation than those noobs who can only afford a $100 combo have ever seen and very politely tell them to kick rocks when they ask for advice. See? No toxicity. 😉 Good job, guys, this needs to be called out.

I always hated to salt water vs freshwater fishing comparison. saltwater fisherman always come off like the PC Master Race guys.

Unfortunately there are a few KZread fishing personalities that feed that social media conflict culture. And there seems to be more of that than ever. You don't have to search long to find personal attack thumbnails and pro's insulting each other over their opinion. Just look at all the debates on forward facing sonar. Honestly I think it's more about increasing the views and comments on their video than the subject matter itself, and sadly it does just that.

I am a better fisherman l o l but I still help random people on the water From giving them baits to showing new anglers how to tie knots Don't give them all the juice though 👊

Theres a guy in a fb groups thats always bragging "another double digit, thats 2?? For 2023". Then you see pics with no scale proof and hed be lucky in 90% of them broke 7lbs 😂. I mean congrats to him for caching some nice fish but dont say they are all dd and come off youre better than even pro anglers. Hes a total prick to peolpe all the time too. I have no idea how hes still in groups with how he acts and comments to people lol
