Great video, thanks for posting and sharing. The reality of fishing for sure.
hook sets are free
You would have more successful strike to catch ratios with a snell hook and a snell knot…. Beautiful area!!
Man I wish I could get enough bites to lose that many fish! I see other people have pointed a few things out, and I’m sure you’re going to bring most of those bass in when you switch a few things up. Can’t wait to do some punching soon!
Punching pads is so fun!! So cool you're out in your kayak fishing like that!
If you take a bober stop and put it on the hook and slide it up to the edge of bend right before the little ledge where the bait sets before the eye it will hold your plastics on like keeper on a straight shank hook
Great video it’s crazy that you missed like 5 bites back to back.. I’ve never ever gotten five bites in a row before.. even though yu missed them it takes a hell of a lot of skill to get 5 bites in a row in one spot… from the way the rob was bent they look like they would’ve been averaging 3 pounds
Great video! I do a lot of punching and one bit of advice for better hookups. Shorter casts and definitely set the hook hard. You'll increase the hook-ups for sure. Great video!
It’s exciting when you feel that thump! The hardest thing to do is not get too excited. If you watch this back, it looks like you are reeling as bring your rod up on your hook set. Try reeling down quickly to pick up your slack, and when your rod tip is pointed straight at that joker come up hard but don’t reel while setting the hook. I think you may be reeling the hook right out of their mouth before you are getting your hook set. Try it out and see if it helps. Get that hook set down and it won’t matter what hook or knot you use.
I just ordered a punching rod, gonna try out the Berkley Pit Boss for the bait. Awesome video!!
Nice when the sun goes down .
Use the flipping hook and set the hook harder
Good video but if you ask me lol for the pads your fishing 1oz is over kill
just my opinion. But you do you if it works for you. Keep the video coming……
No one said anything about setting the hook?
A Snell knot with flipping hook will solve that !
I subbed. Maybe hit em a little harder? Just an observation.
Good video, bass look nice and dark, you can tell they've been hiding under that for minute. I normally like fishing like this with the D-Bomb or rage bug
Nice catch
Definitely use that flipping hook. Definitely snell knot that hook. Also, come in through the bait at an angle—diagonally, and just bury the hook point in the meat of the bait—no texposing. Also, SWING! You need a big hookset to drive a flipping hook home and turn that fish’s head. You’ll still lose some but your success level will go way up.
Was wondering where you've been, glad to see you posting again!
Awesome video! Good to see another pnw angler
Nice. Great technique
Just became your 200th subscriber. Enjoyed the video.
Great video. I learned to start using a snelled knot on my punching hooks and my hook up ratio improved so much. You can see in a few others videos how to set it up. But it pivots the hook to hook up all the time it is nuts.
Punching is the best
Pinching pads like that looks like a blast !
