This video is with basic lead batteries. Straight from the factory. I didn’t have my Battle Born lithiums installed in this so the voltage is low. The screens will get even crispier with my @battlebornbatteries 🤤
Could you please explain how the swim bait is weighted ? I watched several times but couldn't figure out how/what weight,, Thanks,, D
I love seeing you and Josh doing videos together. It’s great to see ppl with competitive sponsors doing content together.
Thanks for noticing Mango! I’m a huge JJ fan
You're a great representative for the sport Sir. You're open to other view points and treat everyone with respect. Good luck on the upcoming season.
I appreciate that, Tanker! Would like to get more in-depth on all this as the season unfolds. Thank you for watching brother
I’m loving these longer form videos. I feel like I’m getting a lot more information from them! I’m really enjoying the podcast as well, I think y’all should have some of the younger guys come on the show and share there experiences within the industry! Great Video as usual!
Glad you liked it Asher, more to come!!
Love this style of video. I learned a ton from you!! Thanks for the info. Good luck this season.
Great video Chris, I love your energy and your passion. Thanks for sharing, tight lines !
Man, lovin all the stuff you and trait's puttin out! Keep up the hard work guys!
Appreciate it. Happy New Year 👊🏽
This is why I went with the Garmin LVS34 - I've never seen images this clear from Lowrance or Humminbird. It's not always easy to capture on video, but nice job showing what was going on here. Super cool!
Excellent content. I’m learning FFS and this will help. Thankyou
I’ve been keeping up with your career since the “split” and have been watching your videos for a while and this is the video that convinced me to subscribe. I am very selective to who I subscribe to. The reason that I subscribe to very few pros is because most don’t “give up the goods” with baits, tackle and especially technology (ffs) but you gave up the good today and I respect that! I’m not a tournament angler…just a weekend warrior trying to make the most of the few opportunities I have to go fishing. I just invested in ffs this holiday season and am looking forward to putting it to use this spring. Thanks for the ffs education you gave us today. I don’t need to see fish catches…I’m more interested in how to use the technology and this video did just that. Thanks Chris! This weekend warrior sincerely appreciates it! Warm regards to you and your wife.
Thanks Chris, excellent excellent video. I love watching, keep up the great work.
Thanks for all the pointers Chris. Best video I watched where no fish were caught. Learned a lot. Thank you!
Loved this vid, great music, instruction, and trophy hunting. What could be better?❤️ Love the podcast with Trey too!❤
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these!
@Zaldaingerous Chris you’re my favorite to watch here in Northern Wisconsin! Thank you for your live scope coverage and teaching session as it’s much appreciated!!!
My pleasure, Thomas. Stay warm up there 😉
Thank you. All the talk is about forward facing and some fisherman like myself will not go out and buy the stuff for years. So it was very interesting to see you use the FFS. To see what it looks like and see what kind of an advantage you can get from it. Thank you again.
Sick video chris!!!!🤙
This was a great tutorial. Absolutely love it.
That lake has been a hidden gem. Glad to see you and Josh get on a few. Josh is gonna catch a bunch of bigs in the next month or town. I know he’s caught a few already.
Go follow Burks fishing if you really want to see the deal out there 🤙
I know nothing about bass fishing, but while livescoping for pike and zander it is utmost important not to let the lure sink below the fish. That is a near 100% sure way to get rejected. And the best presentation/cast is just above the targets head and then let it sink to the fish, remembering to not over shoot it. But like I said, I have no experience in bass fishing so might not be applicable. Great videos!
One of the best episodes yet!!
Thanks 🙏
This is the interesting stuff the industry should focus on instead of all the negativity!
What’s up from SD! I hope you went again the next day!!! Great vid!
Great video as always dude.
Great video again
Great ffs vid!!!
GREAR content man! My favorite video yet. Keep it up.
Thanks! Will do!
Are you going back out west? Loved seeing the ffs content when your hunting a 2x digit
Looking forward to getting them in the shop!!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I never used ffs. This really showed me a lot. great job explaining it to us. It really is amazing how far electronics have came in my life time. I remember just having hummingbird super 60’s. When I was a kid and my dad explaining to me how to read it.
Great video , great attitude! Keep it up !
Love the new swimbait! They were hammering it at clearlake just befor the holidays. Love the podcast . Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it brother!
Man the Livescope video was great. Just watching how the fish react is such a learning tool.
I fished with Josh on that lake. One thing I’d say that I noticed that you did that we tried not to do. Keep the bait more above them and slow and steady. They didn’t seem to like erratic action. Slow reeling about 1-2ft above em
Thanks! This stuff is super useful for those of us with electronics but maybe aren't so good with them.
Glad it was helpful!
Love all the livescope footage and explanation of the entire process, not just a fish catch like so many other videos out there
I agree, to many negative videos.
I’ve got a whole video series that will start rolling out shortly with Bass Pro about all my electronics. Now that I’m not with one single electronics brand, I can run whatever I want and talk about the pros and cons of each and how to use them / set them up, etc.
@Zaldaingerous did you have any interruption while running the active target on perspective and livescope on forward facing?
@@shanevang88livescope is crystal clear. Just a little on active target
@@donyarborough4114 you’re right. Unfortunately the negativity seems to be becoming more prevalent in fishing community.
Last January I finally added my first set of fishing electronics after kayak fishing for 10 years. So I've had it almost a year now. With sales coupon codes & bass pro club points I got my entire set up including lithium battery for around 2670.00+ tax, which includes Echomap Ultra 106sv, Steady Cast heading sensor & Lvs34 System. You can save some coin if you patient!!! It's been an excellent set up! Using the Fishing Specialties kayak bow ducer pole for lvs34. I've fished so long without electronics I find myself mostly fishing the map/waypoints & transducers disabled . I'll scan my area. & Turn them off most of time. I really really like perspective mode! Mostly to fish cover from 15' & shallower. My transducer bracket itself can be adjusted endlessly so I can change angle for different depths, in perspective mode it makes a difference! The transducer bracket is madey fishing specialties also & much better than factory Garmin mount. I do use forward mode to but not nearly as much as perspective. Anything deeper than 15' I'll switch it to forward
That’s awesome, Max!!! Smart. And your setup sounds killer 💪🏽
Great stuff Chris!! I want to see you back in your home waters on the Cal Delta or Clear Lake!! Also bucket list would be out on a Kayak with Greg Blanchard…both of you best CZcams fishing content bar none👊👊
That would be awesome, hopefully I can catch a break and get back out there this year
Would love a settings breakdown and how you like to attack your livescope setting on new lakes! Also hate to see the switch from humminbird but absolutely stoked for you because i know the switch will elevate your game!
Chris, I live on Toledo Bend. Looking forward to seeing you next month here as the season kicks off! Be safe, see you soon!
That was awesome footage. Those were some monsters. Thanks again for another great adventure. Late.
True giants!!! I’ll bust em next time
Good luck in your 2024 bass season I feel like this is your year man Go big or go home.keep grinding brother 2024 start fresh let’s go 🔥🎣🏆
Such an awesome lake! I was blessed to fish it last month and we also missed a couple chances but stuck several big ones!
Oh wow!
All of your thoughts seemed to be rational and thought out carefully. Your second guesses are valid as well. There is no wrong answer here. I would suggest picking one of the costa events you're most comfortable with and fish it. Keep doing the smaller derbies like the ABAs (pro series or AFTs) and even jackpot a bfl or two. Less of a commitment on time and money.✌🏾
I've been waiting for the swim bait video!
More to come, Chris!
Enjoyed the video. I'm ready for that loaded swimbait to come out!
When I say real soon I mean like maybe this week soon…
@@Zaldaingerous Let's GOOOO!!! I'll be watching for them
Been to that lake, it's sure in the middle of NOWHERE. I wasn't prepared for the amount of staring at the screen that was involved, it was a 10/10 difficulty to livescope like that and came home empty handed!
Same, brother!!!!
You already know Burks is the deal out there 💪 100 DDs out there, nobody else got that place dialed in like him. When Zaldain really wants to get it dialed in he’ll hit him up 👏👏
Great video. Thanks for the content. The explanation of identifying a bass vs a carp was great. How do you identify a bass vs drum? Here in middle Tn we also have a lot of drum, especially in our highland reservoirs. They look just like those big bass you showed.
Wow, love the setup at the bow. You got the best of all worlds.
Yessir Raider, definitely gonna crank out more vids on this setup soon 👌🏽
Chris glad to see I am not the only one that has to get up early drink my coffee and take a seat. My wife and I love you and your wife and what you do. See you at the tournaments in Florida. This is going to be your year
Good info differentiating carp and bass, carp also seem to sit still a lot more
This was probably a good situation for the umbrella rig - with that water color you'd want something that really gives off some vibration. Come to think of it, do any of the tour guys ever mess around with the umbrella rig in the off season??
This is my favorite swimbait of all time even caught my biggest bass of 2023 on it.
Nice!!
Man I can wait to get that new Garmin plus setup! It looks soooo good!!! Guys that knock FFS are crazy man it’s sooo much fun and very addictive! It’s just not traditional bass fishing by any means. I’m sure that why some hate it.
Yup, far from it. But unfortunately this is the future 😕
Really cool video!!!! Keep this ffs content up with the screen footage, thank you for your hard work, ffs is not easy at all i suck at it lol
Great job, enjoyed the lesson.
Bronte Guns & Tackle
I’m stopping by next time!!! Love my pews!!!
Awesome brother.
Thanks ✌️
Chris, best FFS show I have ever seen. No one has ever given a lesson and understanding of what your were seeing and description of the bass! Heck I thought all the blobs at the top were bass lol! Thank you again for the great content !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!!!! Thank you for the feedback brother
@@Zaldaingerous keep doing what you’re doing!!
Great video, enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Chris! I’ve been hearing some chirps here and there about that place! Hope it dosnt go wild like Ivie did and you can get some on the swimmer next time!
Yuppppp!
Mr Jones is the man!
Awesome footage! Be cool if B.A.S.S. did coverage like this going forward
Totally agree Trav!
Was a hidden gem....................
Great videos!!
Glad you like them!
Hey man love your videos
I myself still trying to learn more in this sport of bass fishing
I’m from weat Texas myself i was wondering What lake was that
Josh just proved who’s better at live scope 😂😂😂😂 all love Big Z happy new year
Dude is the best in the world at it.
I fished a New Years tournament on my local reservoir and it’s tough overall but it’s full of herring and giant bass. I had a similar experience on scope where I tried every angle, bait & presentation to get bit and I ended up waisting too much time trying! I believe that to be the biggest challenge is managing time per fish on FFS during tournaments! Some won’t eat the cricket regardless but perception is bent!
Spot on dude!!
I caught a 12 out there this summer. Jb was a badass lake the last 5 years.
Strong 💪🏽
You have the best in the business guiding/teaching you FFS. But like you said, it takes hands on the water practice to be proficient with it... 🍺🎣
Hey random comment, I don't even own FFS yet, but is the sonar beam not a cone? So when you're making a 50ft cast, the landing zone you're seeing on the 2d screen is probably 25ft wide. How do you know you're anywhere near the fish or whether it's to the left or right of your boat?
i see those MTX vans. hopefully theyre getting you closer to the fish hahaha
I subscribed with pleasure to your channel. I take this opportunity to thank you for all the videos and information you share, you have a big heart. Good luck and be well. Gianluca
Ran this setup but dual livescopes. Was pretty cool but not necessary! Forwards where it’s at 👍
Agreed!
On the podcast with Robert Terkla you mentioned you all know who designed the magdraf from meggabass do you mind sharing who it is thanks keep up the good work really appreciate your efforts and hard work you put in on making all the lovely videos 😊
Chris loved this video learned a ton from it! I live in San Angelo but we traveled out to possum this past weekend. It was super tough and and a little stain to the water and abunch of foam on the banks of the main lake. Is the lake turning over this late in the year?
Dude I was on PK two weeks ago and it was tough!!! We thought exactly the same… it must have been turning over
In my experience when they are lower in the water column they prefer to feed up on swim baits. You have to cast past them by 30 or 40 feet then bring it over them. They don’t like swim baits falling straight down.
If they are schooling and higher in the water land it on their head and they will eat it.
Yes, you’re 100% right. For the demonstration and for the 3” of visibility, I dropped it right in their heads
@@Zaldaingerouslol yea the 3” of visibility makes it a little tough. Just picked up the unrigged version. The swim looks really nice. Stays stable and I love the head wobble.
i see the water color and i am thinging why not use a darker color ? just want to know the thought prosses from you , thanks
How is the the move trolling motor?
Sick Video sir!
But he hasn't been fishing that lake for several years..
Great Video! Can’t wait for the loaded version, when’s it dropping?
It’s already sold out at a few places. We shipped everything to retailers and they are putting them up as they get them. Hopefully they are online with Bass Pro soon
Great video. Loved the visual queues watching the bait fall. Haven't seen that in any other FFS content. What Garmin unit are you running up front? The image looked great, even at 11.5v. I'm not totally convinced on the whole "clean power deal." Your unit looked tack sharp to me...
Keep up this kind of content, Chris, and drag that rig to Lanier this summer and watch those top water spots "train-up" off-shore.
That’s the Garmin lvs 34 transducer… my voltage was low because I had some cheap lead batteries in there. I swapped in my lithiums last week
Nice video! Been thanking about picking up some of those Dangerous swimbaits, i fish a small thick grass bottom lake, pretty clear water with average water depth of 10-15ft, which one would you recommend? Pretty done with Magdraft😂
Go with the loaded heavy! Perfect for that 15’ range slow rolled over that grassy bottom
Damn son ive not seen water color like that since I fished South Mississippi!! Glad to see even Texas still has glorified farm ponds with teeners.
lol you’re totally right!!
Hey Chris where can I get 6in magdraft clamshell packages
Started listening to your podcast, now subscribed for swimbaits! Im hopeful thats the lake I have been doing research on. Im in Colorado but planning a trip down for big bass, possibly on the fly rod...laugh if you want
Right on Kory!!!
You are wild, hard enough to get bit on conventional stuff there
Yes, I have serious fishues....
Fantastic video. I learned more watching you catch zero fish than I would have if you caught monsters.
Just curious how y'all found this small West Texas lake? You are careful not to mention the name but for those familiar with the area, we know.
I just bought those bass mafia non loaded ones I can’t find this on the tackle wear house
Dropped your hummingbird live for Garmin I see. Garmin is king.
Loved J B thomas
Cool video. Is what you showed on the Lowrance similar to perspective view on the Garmin? What is that red reel you were using? Keep bringing the heat! @Zaldaingerous
Fishing with Josh Jones. Damn what a dream.
never mind. this video sucked
You gotta hook one to get outta this slump your in… you deserve it bro..
Damn that lake was muddy.
Hey Chris I was wondering what color would you use down in Florida around the panhandle area would you use the pearl white or would you use the black back shad I live in Panama City
Definitely go with black back shad. That blue glimmer over that gold sparkle is money down there
Thanks brother for sharing that if I catch a big Bass I'll send you some pictures
Hey man, I’m loving your videos! I got a quick question, do you know of any good spots or tips for lake texoma in mid February? I got a high school tournament comming up there and have never fished there.
A-rigs & jerkbaits are the docks in all the marinas. Pay attention to if the fish are more towards the mouth of the marina, in the middle or more towards the back. Check all 3
@@Zaldaingerous thank you very much, appreciate it!
@@Zaldaingerousone more question I just thought of, should I be fishing it towards the surface of the water or middle or deep?
When is the loaded top hook swimbait coming
Single hook is better than double hook on swim bait?
My home lake fished it from the time I was 10 I'm 49 now seen it empty to 80 percent full lots of crappie. And big bass don't let dirty water fool u
I have and I know Brandon gets some really good views but u have to have the apex to get them good pics so it makes it exp to buy. I know HB is behind I just wanted to hear your take on it cuz I know you've been w HB for awhile Thank You
I ran the Apex last year. Only difference was it had an HDMI output on it so Bassmaster could show the screen on basslive. It doesn’t change the mega live
Jb Thomas has some studs in it. Muddy water keeps lot of people off it.
🎯
I haven’t watched the video yet but I hope you’re announcing the line through is finally coming out. Bought a few Hangovers bc they came out first.
I just texted our CEO to see if I can announce when… it’s real real soon. I was super anal about the bait which caused a few last minute changes that pushed the release date back. The last thing I’d want is to hype it up this much and you guys to get some baits that weren’t up to my standards. I’ve got one shot to earn everyone’s trust or the rest of the bait line we are working on won’t mean much, and we are working on some badass baits.
@@Zaldaingerous sounds good.
@@mesa620possibly on shelves this week
@@Zaldaingerous sweet!! Thank you for the follow up!
