Come underwater and watch the incredible reactions these fish have to different lures! Watch how incredibly accurate they are as they strike at lures while dodging the hooks. Its amazing! Most anglers consider fish to be basic and instinctual but this footage suggests they have incredible control while attacking their prey. While watching their behavior Tim provides key clues to help you adapt your fishing to become a better bass fisherman this year.
This video came about because Tim was watching underwater footage of bass while quarantined at home during this pandemic. He noticed a tendency with the fish to bite just behind the hook on a jig. As he began digging through footage he noticed it was the same with worms and swimbaits as well. Could it be that bass are really that smart? It would appear so! With that in mind, what can you do differently to increase your odds of catching these fish?
Tim suggests a few different solutions. The first is to shorten the trailers on your jigs. The shorter the pinchers are, the more likely they'll fully engulf the jig. Second is to adapt your hooks, even going to a red hook to draw a directed strike toward the hook. For finesse fishermen, Tim suggests going to smaller worms, lighter line, and much smaller hooks so they go unnoticed by the bass. Lastly, adjust your hookset on larger baits. Often times its wise to wait a moment and give the fish the opportunity to fully engulf the bait.
