THE WAR against old school BASS FISHING (Crankbaits, Jigs, Spinnerbaits)

OG Bill Lewis RAT-L trap slays!

Chatterbaits, spinner baits, and plastic worms WILL CATCH BIG ONES AND WORK UNTIL THE END OF TIME

I caught a 4and a half pounder on a swim jig yesterday

There’s no war. Just clickbait. The goal is to catch fish. Some catch them on crank or jig some catch them with electronics don’t matter as long as you figure them out

Every time I hear a old time big bass catcher, I think of shiners,the old devil's horse or mann's purple worms.

Fire tiger is still my go to color. It's an old school color that still matches more forage than any other color on the market.

Smh worms. Jigs. Spinner baits. Cranking. They’re all staples in my arsenal. Jigs are one of my confidence baits. Along with a good shakey head or Ned rig and a drop shot.

Yo what crankbait is that in the beginning

I'm 52. Using the little minnow is wrong. Real men don't need that crap. It's boring watching someone standing in 1 spot with their head down for 8 hours. Just man up and fish

I’ve been using a lipless crankbait for the past 4 months catching over 150 bass from the shore from 1.5 lbs to 8.2 lbs. No other lure has caught more fish in the past 4 months from shore at the lakes I fish than a lipless.

No FFS for me, I only fish “old school “ and catch plenty! Only way I know to fish.
Big fan, love the videos .

those big back bass.

Bassmaster Brown hear man let me tell you that is one of the ways that I love to fish Mr.BLat is old school fishing and believe when I tell you this from old school spinner bait to crank baits and Rattle traps they never fell yet.Remember when I text a while back and I said that I have a spinner bait that runs deeper than deep trust me it catches them hogs you heard me as always be safe out there on the water love you bro.

I always tell my son start with a worm if you want to catch some fish

No one's been able to explain to me why my "old school" Bomber Fat Free Shads and Model As don't catch fish anymore because they do. I did better on my smallie lake last summer/fall with Fat Frees than I did with Money Badgers. And whole generations of bass have never seen a Roboworm Zipper Worm or even a Zoom G-tail worm (originally by Ditto). They have seen a lot of beaver baits, so why not fish a Zipper again? Turns out they work... Fish aren't interested in fashion....

Nice catches, heck I still jigger pole for Bass 👍

All future videos must now feature Brian singing Prince. It’s a big catalog - singin’ and fishin’. This is the way. 😎

No PlayStation pretender here
Old school all the way. Hula popper pig and jig. Jitterbug buzzbait culprit worms

Anything under five pounds with a treble hook gets the net!

That's one like I catch. :-)

You feel like a brother from a different mother I’m an Okie, but I really enjoy your videos, brother

Do you ever fish out of a kayak bro?

Okay B Lat, nice one. I like to see you having fun fishing. Keep the fun I'm it Brother 💪 🙏🪝

Awesome video. I love watching you fishing old school. You're in that middle ground where you know how to "fish", regardless of situation. Too many new pros only chase the video screen with 3" swim baits and jerkbaits. No doubt they're catching fish, but nobody wants to watch it. Keep up the great work and good luck in the coming season.

been bass fishing 45 years still fishing cranks and other lures from the 80s never a problem catching plenty of bass!

Great video. Yes nice to get back to the roots of bass fishing. It's so great to see polish PETE on the video. Is he working with Z- Man now ? Thanks

Definitely agree about a spinning combo doing work. A small swimbait, a drop shot, and a spinner bait are what I have rigged up when go pond hopping. Caught 'em in Cali, Oregon, and Florida. ✌️🎣

COME TO TEXAS and come get your butt kicked in a 1v1 by a 17 year old

I love how excited you get when you Cath them. It never gets old. It just gets better & better. I can't wait for our weather to change so I can fish water instead of ice.

Awesome video bro

Like Tupac said "ain't nothing like the old school". this was a great video on the simplicity of bass fishing..Keep it simple!!!

Excellent Video! I grew up using Rattle Trap lures (Chrome with the blue back, blue and lime green, the bass absolutely love them... also, the white spinner baits with the copper blades works just as good now as they did back then. Tight Lines!!!

The funny thing is that it’s now become apparent to companies who sponsor guys who use scoping to a large degree aren’t making enough money on other baits, so they have to charge stupid prices for simple jig heads and minnows. It’s comical.

I caught a fish out of watershed that was like the one you caught. Everyone said scales was wrong. It wasn’t it has to do with the body of water. The same fish I caught would went over 8 pounds at a lager lake but was 6.5 pounds.

A little grasshopper spinner jig. Slays the big bass in south FL. for me. I used to use it all the time as a teenager and just kinda forgot about it as all the new baits came out. I saw some in a Kmart going out of business sale and it worked just as well as it did when I was a kid. I do think that if you are going after big bass in deep water. An over sized purple worm on a 2 oz bullet weight does the trick every time. Plus I use spinning rods exclusively. I never bought in to the bait casters seeing I used the same rods and reels for fresh and salt water.

I think that if regulations of some sort had not been put into place for bass fishing, by now the bass fishing industry would have introduced depth-charge pods that could be mounted on the sides of bass-boats.
The high-tech sonar systems could simply detect the bass's location and automatically calculate the distance and depth to launch their depth-charges, then they could simply sit back and wait for the stunned bass to float to the top of the water.

What you think about the z slide. Better than SLX or Speed Spool lfs? Would love you're opinion. Fixin to possibly grab 1.

Crushed it bro, keep doing what you’re doing. Love the channel and great for my middle school angler to watch

That perception works for me. I'm over here with my zara spooks,spinnerbaits and grubs...proven track records!

love them river fish with them thick straps

Back to the basics, amen 🎣

I fish them yrs around

it's really nice to see videos that are NOT selling crap, i used to love watching fishing shows on weekends but i can't stand too see them anymore because all they are about it selling whatever baits they are involved with.. the doughnut shop guy is the worst.. forget his name.. timmy horton outdoors.. .. and his line of tackle they all act like you aint gonna catch a fish unless you use this. WRONG. i can catch a fish on the same 40 year old lure i did 40 years ago. your a good dude BLAT.. thanks f or keeping it real bro

i love it man, He kinda mad about it. he acts like he has hooks in his face... hillarious

As a disabled guy I watch a lot of videos when I'm not fishing lol. All those lures but the crank I see people utilizing with ffs. They throw the shakey head and jig while scoping brush piles and stomps. Spinnerbait all the above and schooled fish. Usually a big double willow leaf Spinnerbait. Now the squarebill usually most are just bank beating from the bank, kayak, or boat lol. I'm not a shakeyhead guy myself most places I fish have to much junk on the bottom also same for any jig that's not a swim jig lol. I love a good Spinnerbait bite though.

Hey BLatt is there a code for bass mooch to save my butt some loot?????

a grown man who fishes professionally getting so excited over a 5lb 6oz bass just shows when you get back to basics you remember how fun it is.

I’ve always loved to fish but I really got into bass fishing in 2024 and have caught a 5.2 LMB and a 4.10 LMB on a little local lake here in Cleveland Ohio. Both on a chatterbait minimax.
