I would agree, all of the potential success depends on the boater getting on fish.

I drive pretty fast, and I operate in rough water. This guy has a death wish. Jeez.

Do those Polar sunglasses really let you see under water?
I wear Maui Jim offshore. I had a nice set of Costa 580, but they're at the bottom Erie. FOr years after that, I bought a cheap pair of polarized glasses off the rack, and they worked fine. The coatings don't last on cheap sunglasses, but polarization is the same. My Maui Jim are three years old now, and I wear them every day.

Not a warmouth, it's a rock bass. Warmouth only have three spines on their anal fin.

And the beat goes on...
It's way easier to get video of a sleeping bass angler. Are we certain that ALL lmb get the redness in cold water? My days in early spring have so few catches, I can't clearly remember anything other seeing it, but couldn't say if it was all of them. Could be a hormonal thing leading to spawn? All the smallies pics I have do not have this at all, and some were from REALLY cold water.

Grabbing line when landing fish - Myth?
Someone that signed up here to learn how to fish. There are all sorts that don't know what to do. That is where this forum fits in. But, okay. Go Cowboys.

Video your catch?
I have a little RAM X-mount for my phone, and that's fine for me. I'm not really taking video to entertain anyone. Little snips for social media of various things are all I'm interested in filming. It's hard enough editing a 60 second part for Insta.

When to not use a swim jig?
I don't think I own any swim jigs anymore. I might have some somewhere, but they aren't in my jig box. I will often (some days, very often) swim the jig I am using. I like a high action trailer for this, like a Rage Chunk or Rage Craw. Football jigs are really nice for this. When they hit a rock or other hard bottom cover, they kick up and that seems to appeal to bass.

Grabbing line when landing fish - Myth?
I always thought this was more about light lines. I don't think I'd lift any fish out on 6# line. Even though I don't use exactly the same technique, releasing the tension from the rod is an important step.

I'm on a mission in life to get everyone to use the proper term. There is nothing "co" in a draw format. Nice job, man. That isn't easy.
