A wise man once said, "if you can't explain your subject to a 1st grader in a way he can understand it, you don't know your subject well enough." You just explained this to a 1st grader and I get it, lol. Great job! Keep it up.
I'll say it again. You are the best youtuber in the fishing industry. Totally professional instructor. Thanks so much for your videos.
I’m not sure what you are going to do with you life, but this sure seems to be you calling, you have an amazing talent for describing and talking about fishing, and your passion for the sport shows thru, I think you’ve stumbled upon your future, keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words! I really enjoy making these videos and I'm glad y'all like them!
@@FishtheMoment seriously dude. i havent found a video yet that describe this stuff as good as u.. 10/10
Your a good man Charlie Brown
You explain how to use a fish finder very well, I know nothing about fish finders but I’m learning by watching your videos. Thank you so much.
Absolutely the BEST vid explaining fish finder imaging - the added text and graphics really made it all make sense. Thanks!
FINALLY A VIDEO THAT MAKES SENSE AND ACTUALLY EXPLAINS THINGS!!!!!!!!!!
I usually don't re-comment when there are so many comments already that I agree with, but this was just an excellent video, something I've been looking for and your delivery was awesome. You really have a talent.
Your ability to communicate is incredible!!!!!! Obviously very bright and extremely interesting!!
I'm a salt life kind of guy but the way you explain in detail got me subscribed to you channel. Kind of itching to go test out what you taught on lake Conroe here in Texas. I can also take back what you taught to my salty roots. Thanks brother. You have a true calling.
Thank you after three years of using my sonar and watching confusing videos I finally have a decent understanding :-)
this is a seriously underrated video, thank you for sharing this, i did not know how to read these electronics at all before watching this and you explained it in a way that i could easily understand, thank you
This video is hands down an excellent tutorial on electronics. It is not brand specific, and very educational.Thank you very much!
Subscribing to your channel is one of the BEST things I could have done! I don’t have money to donate as I’ve been of work having several surgeries over the past three years. However, as soon as I get back on my feet, literally, I will contribute to your efforts. Thank you.
Best electronics video I've ever watched.! Humminbird should hire you to conduct seminars and make videos.
I can only echo (pun intended) the kudos from others. Simply the best tutorial yet.
These videos are helping me learn so much about reading graphs. I just ordered a garmin striker vivid 7sv for my kayak. By the time I'm done watching you're videos I won't even have to read the manual 👍
Man i dont know how u dont have more subs you are the most instructiinal channel to have ever watched. I have learned more off a couple of ur vids than i have all the other channels combined
I'm glad the videos are helpful! Thanks for the comment
Total Agree!!!
Man I have only had my boat for about six months and am just trying to get more familiar with electronics and this video was absolutely so helpful keep doing what your doing!!!
best channel on youtube for bass fishermen, hands down. you do an extremely great job communicating what you are presenting not only by easy to understand explanation, but by also combining it with computer graphics and animation. so many times ive listened to anglers present information that i cannot understand what they are trying to get across, but not with this channel. the info you present hits its mark, everytime. thank you.
Thanks, Robert! I'm glad you enjoy the content and it's easy to understand. I really appreciate the feedback!
Who the heck are the two people who could thumb down this video? This is really helpful info that is not discussed enough.
Thanks again, Jason! Glad you liked the video!
Either trolls, or more likely, guys who were wearing gloves and mis-hit their screens, imo! 8 )
For a guy new to these newer electronics this is a great video to guide to explain what different things look like. Appreciate keeping basic
I'm very new to the Helix 9 or and fish finder. Young man you do an outstanding job of teaching and you are very well articulate on your presentation. Where most videos to do with this subject are vague and or outrageous yours have a professional quality to them. Thank you for the tons of info just in the few minutes you teach. If your not a teacher or instructor you sure do possess the qualities.
You blew my steryiotypes out of the water in about 30 seconds. VERY informative. I am considering a fishfinder and wasn't sure what the point of side scan was. After 10 videos and getting nowhere, you answered all literally all of my questions. Good pace, low-level on the music, and no pointless pauses/rants either. Excellent job on all accounts. I have subscribed
Man I watched so many videos on ‘how to read your fish finder’ and none of them really explained what’s going on to someone like me who is a novice. Thanks so much for taking the time to think about how to explain this. It’s been a huge help.
Great tutorial. Best explanation of reading fish finders on you tube.
Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed
We are in total agreement!. Well Done Fish The Moment!

I recently bought a new GPS and was looking to learn about down image. After watching and learning for 10 minutes I started to get butterflies thinking about going fishing and using these techniques. Great video.
I thought I knew my electronics, but I picked up some tips from your video that I didn't know! Videos are very easy to understand! Thx!
One of the most descriptive videos I have seen about using the modern sonar/fish finder. Thx
Best fish finder video ever! I NEVER leave comments, but I set up an ID, password, and logged in just to comment on this video. Very well presented. Thank you.
that was the best display of what to look for and use of your electronics by far.....i'll keep watching
Thank you!
U are the first person I have found to go over everything like this! Thank you it is awesome. I’m just starting to learn to use my hummingbird, I always have just casted and if I coughs fish I caught fish. Now it’s a learning curve and this has explained a ton for me
Nobody describes this stuff better than you keep up the great vids!
I'm not a bass fisherman yet. Grew up with lake fishing from the shore or dock. Love catching bass. But for me this is future knowledge that is incredible to have. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. I should probably add that I didn't fish for a number of years for a variety of different reasons. But like I said, great knowledge to have. Especially since I enjoy fishing for all fish.
Best video on explaining how to read your fish finder I have found. Nice job!
You found a Dinosaur sleeping under the bridge at 13:55... Nice Work!!
the best video I had ever seen in all my life and I am 64 years old. Thank you to share this with us. God bless you.....
I have watched literally over a hundred videos on this topic .... you have explained things more thorough and ten fold better than any manufacturer, sponsored pros, advertisements, sales reps, etc! Awesome job fellow angler .... I have already subscribed and I will share the knowledge as well. great job!
Thank you! I'm glad the video was useful!
Dude keep up the good work YOURE MY FAVORITE CZcamsR for fishing electronics. You really make it simple, something no one seems to be able to do.
I got a garmin echomap 2 years ago and I've been trying to figure it out everyone on CZcams explaining it like X-Z÷5×N=
THANK YOU
Best video I've ever seen for using a sonar.
I can't even begin to explain how helpful this was. You have a true nack for this stuff my friend. I hope this is your everyday career
Holy smallmouth,
Young man hummingbird needs to hire u to do seminars,i looked thru 20 videos to get the explanations u covered in 20 mins.GREAT WORK.
Your love for fishing, and ability to explain things are unmatched. There’s a lot of money to be made through CZcams. You may have very well found your calling. Your channel has so much potential. This is by far the best fishing channel on CZcams. No question.
Thank you for the kind words! It's great to share my passion for fishing with y'all!
I’m in school as well, so I completely understand how valuable time can be. We’re all happy you put so much time and effort into your videos.
I’m actually heading to Lake Okeechobee for the week to fish. This is my last big trip of the winter break. Can’t wait. Should be on the water tomorrow.
Awesome! That's definitely a lake on my bucket list. Let me know how it goes!
The trip went well. We were able to fish for 3 days. Definitely a different style of fishing than I am used to. My biggest was just under 4 lbs.Not huge, but a respectable fish. They had a massive cold front that came through a few days prior and the water temps dropped into the low 60’s. Apparently that’s pretty cold for that area. I will definitely be better prepared with some heavier gear when I go back. Either way I got a nice tan to go back to school next week.
He has an easy way of explaining everything.
I honestly don’t understand how this video could possibly get ANY thumbs down. This was articulated very well. I don’t even have professors like this in b-school.
I really appreciate the axiomatic stuff that you share (humps generally = hard bottom, bluegill beds should be marked and targeted all summer long..). There's so much to know and remember in our sport - it's certainly helpful to have some solid rules of thumb. Please do keep sharing yours!
I have to say that is one of the best illustrated (spl) and thought out videos for fish finders I have seen. Well done sir and hope you rip them lips.
Great video, you did an awesome job of explaining electronics, I learned more from this than the dozens of videos I have watched. Thanks
This is the best "how to" video for fishing electronics I have ever seen. Thank you for your time and effort to help teach others. Humminbird should be sponsoring you or your channel for this. Excellent!
Great video! I'm just a shore angler. No boat,no yak. But was always curious how to read these electronics and what's what on the screen. Just knowing that boat position is at the top of the screen was huge info..lol
You explained everything perfectly. Great job my man..keep it up
The r/fishing community lead me here. And I’m so glad they did. Great job.
First time ever commenting on a youtube video....Excellent Job, i have all these features on my lowrance carbon and have been using it now for 6 months. Your video did a great job of telling me everything i didn't know, which turned out to be a lot. I appreciate my electronics much more now that i f understand what is is showing me, and will get a lot more use out of them. No unnecessary commentary and time wasted. You should be getting paid to do this...hope you are. Good Luck and great job!
Just purchased two hummingbird helix 9 and spent hours on different videos for the past month and yours by far is the easiest and most helpful video I have found!!! Ready for my lakes to be thawed so I can start graphing !
Very informative thanks for not speeding thru the small details. Great images to view while explaining
This video was a huge help for those of us who don't have a boat yet but fish with others so we can understand more of what we are looking at since we don't get to go out and play with units.
Awesome! Glad it's helpful! Thanks for the comment
You sent me a message saying to check out your CZcams channel a very long time ago on Instagram and I’m so glad I did. This is easily the best video I have ever seen describing how to use a graph. Keep up the good work!
The best sonar video I've ever seen. Great job. Very informative
Awsome job explaining the humminbird. I watched this video just to confirm what I thought i already knew. Great job, ill be sharing this video to beginners as you really took time to explain what was being shown on the screen. Tight lines
Absolutely a the greatest tutorial on u-tube. Keep up the great work. You're a natural... Hank....
This was incredibly helpful. Last year was my first year with sonar on my yak...it was like deciphering hieroglyphics lol. Thank you for the quality upload, I know how much work went into this!
You make hands down the best electronics videos on CZcams. And your way of explaining things is incredible. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos
Wow, dude that was a great explanation on how to read a fish finder. Coming across debris or other structures with my finder I’ve understood that said debris was there, but I never knew how to read and understand it. Thank you for this video.
Awesome job explaining the down scan / side scan to a novice who understood what you were talking about. I agree with Mo Basser that you have a talent for relaying information to novices in a clean, understandable manner without being to technical. This video was well worth watching...Thanks
Every time I watch this video I learn more and more. Thank you Jonny
This video was so helpful for me. I’ve watched dozens of videos on reading graphs, specifically humminbird and never came away feeling like I learned anything. After finding fish on my graph I always struggled knowing exactly where I needed to cast, especially with SI. You have done an outstanding job of explaining that along with several other things. Thank You
One of the best vids out there that teaches how to use and READ a fish finder. Great job! Wish I could like 100 times!
Thanks again, Ryan! I appreciate the support
dude......... so damn happy i just found your channel
Please enable subtitles for this video.....I love this channel......greetings from Italy :)
So happy I found your video. I am new to fish finders and you have taught me more in 21 minutes then I have found in the past from searching for videos in fish finders. Thank You Very Much for the Video. Please keep up the great work Many of us here really love it. Your a great teacher and explainer for it.
You're gonna have one of the most popular bass fishing channels if you keep this up buddy! Great stuff.
Thanks again, Patrick!
As someone who is new to electronics this was a killer video. I already sent it to two others who have electronics but aren’t using them to maximize their fishing. Awesome awesome content.
Excellent video, I have watched all three of your videos. I just now understand my new electronics and how to use them. Please keep up the great work. Outstanding job.
much easier to follow than the Humminbird manual - thanks for a really clear and informative video
Very good video, taught an old dog some new tricks !
One of the better explanations I have seen. Very nice job.
Just bought a Garmin Echomap plus 92sw bundled with a GT52 transducer, which I'm about to set up on my 13 ft jon boat (also new). I have fished all my life, but I'm a complete and utter novice when it comes to fishfinders, and I rarely fish from a boat. Now I feel a bit more confident, having watched a few of your videos. Thank you!
This is a great video. Very helpful to me. I just bought a Lowrance Hook2 5 with Tripleshot. This will be my first fishfinder, using it on my Jackson Big Tuna kayak. I can't get wait to get it on the water in East Tennessee and learn how to use it. Thank you for the great instructions and tips!!!! Very good job!!
One of the best how-to videos on reading electronics that I have ever seen. I have two Lowrance units but the similarities and settings are applicable. We appreciate the excellent instruction and great production in these videos! Thanks Jonny!
Thanks again, David. I'm glad the tips transfer over well to Lowrance units
This is the best video on fish finders. I have been researching all winter and I'm truly impressed. Thank you so much. I was starting to think i didn't need side scam but now i know i need it.
So your saying where the sun doesn’t shine there’s usually a big hole... 🤣👍🏻 great vid by the way.
Man, you are a jewel. Many thanks for your great lesson on sonar.
You are one of the best I ever seen on explaining an catching fish an lot being a pro , most want explain it as well as you do much appreciate another very nice video.
I just noticed for the first time that side imaging the left and right images , if you stitch them together at the bottom of the water column , you see the exact same thing on each edge, The same piece of wood on each side. Makes it so much easier to visualize now. Thanks.
I never subscribe to channels as i just click and go .... youre way of showing people things and explaining is great .. keep up the good work .. I hit to sub button
THE Best instructional video on a Hummingbird yet! Gr8 job, very detailed and informative. Loved the comparison shots of Down vs side vs traditional sonar. This video, and the Spot Lock support for Minnekotas, have confirmed my decision to invest in a Hummingbird. Will be sharing on my pages....
Probably the best video ever done on electronics, hands down you killed it!! Please do more!
Thank you! Glad you liked it
I just got a DownScan Lowrance and I have to say this was the most informative video I’ve watch out of about 15 so far. Thank you for going into so much detail.
Well done! Detail and content done perfect.
Absolutely the best off shore videos I seen. thank you very much.
Dude I can only say one thing...You ARE the man! 👏🏻
Great job on this video. I loved it! Please continue!
This is a fantastic video. I’ve been looking for this. Thank you!
Dude this is phenomenal...well done bub 💪🔥
I know it was cold, but thank you so much for explaining all of this. Just retired, ordered a boat, and will be getting into the sport. You did a much better job then the last 20 videos I watched for actually explaining what the hecht it is I'm looking at. I get it now. Great job and thanks again for taking the time to make this video.
Very informative thank you I've been looking for a video like this for a while!
Wow, this was the best explanation of electronics I have found. Thank you very much Jonny! Please em coming...
No problem! Thanks for the support as always!
Awesome work again!!!! You look so young and to have so much knowledge about bass fishing this young is just amazing...keep up the good work!
This is amazing! Best description on CZcams!
I predict that this video will never in its lifetime have a thumbs down. You did a fantastic job on this. It is exactly what I've been trying to find. No one ever gives the complete explanation like you have. Thank you so much for this. BTW. You did an excellent job of your analysis of Lake Arthur the other night. You totally nailed it. It takes innate skill my friend and you have it. Some day you're gonna fish Lake Arthur with me. lol
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks again for the suggestion for the live stream. I'm glad I did the lake justice!
It has 48 thumbs down! 🤨. Must be from fishing elitists that don't want this out. I've known a few like this.
Lake arthur Pennsylvania?
@@pittsburghangler Yes, you got it. It was a privilege to have my "home lake" be one of the first to be reviewed. Do you fish there?
@@0017Bulldog ya literally probably 80 days a year between open water and ice fishing. Which video was it that he broke down?
Hey Johnny, great video. I really enjoy the videos where you explain the best way to use the graphs in your boat. I find these videos very helpful.
This is amazing. Tons of good information. I feel ready to do some graphing.
Super helpful. Thank you for one of the most informative and well put together videos out there on this topic.
