His vids are really good! I like that young kid too. Genuine humor and a pinch of frugality that I find refreshing. But then I saw the click to support notation on the side of the screen. Like so many do now. Amazed to hear that folks can make a living at this but then today I was told that there is a professional pickle ball association and people are professional pickle ballers!!!!! Making money. Not to be the salty Mr. Negative that I am but I find it hard to support a youtuber or just accept that someone can be a professional pickle baller. But then I still have a hard time accepting that people can make millions driving in a circle or wearing tights and slapping butts on a Sunday afternoon too.
bbaaaasssss Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 John B is the best.. 1 rod is way to immature for youtube... O MAN THATS A BIG BASS.. o wait its just a 14 incher sorry guys it felt bigger lol 2
Jaderose Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I like Glenn's videos. I don't like the videos with the screaming music, etc., but then again I'm 48 yrs old. If a video with screaming guitars helps a young person find a great, lifelong hobby.....more power to them. I like videos that actually teach me something. I don't really care about seeing someone catch a fish in slow motion with pounding drums and "drama". But if you do...knock yourself out.

They're about the only ones I follow on YouTube. I think this sums it up. Brendan's are good. Some are more stories rather than actual instructional videos. They definitely appeal more to younger folks. * is fun to watch, but them being from Cali and me being from Central IN makes it tough to relate. I could fish these waters all my life and not catch fish they frequently catch. Throwing a 12in swimbait would be hilarious around here.
hoosierbass07 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Right now my favorite is the British father and son team Totally Awesome Fishing Show. I think the father is actually a pro fisherman, used to write for magazines and has some older DVD's out (I think for the British/Euro market) on big game fishing. He's not into the rods or reels much, more into actually getting out there and throwing those lures or live bait. Also, he does mostly bank fishing. 1

Most of the video was slapstick but the end was pure hilarity.

He quit it so he could pursue his YT channel FT. Bear in mind he and his wife have 4 kids to feed and clothe. So, yes, he's a professional youtuber. Didnt he mention his wife works as well in one of his videos? I don't know any of them but if he is supporting a wife and 4 kids off of YouTube this world is way more messed up than I thought. Maybe it is paying that good but I sure hate that one kid will watch this and will inevitably quit their school/career on some whim they can make a living making YouTube videos. I am not saying he isn't doing the supporting but I have seen many a situation where the other party in the marriage is working their ass off while the other one plays. I hope this isn't the case as 4 kids college $ is not going to be easy or cheap to come by.
Kevin Beachy Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 According to flukes last video, hes now going to be a fulltime youtuber....

massrob Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I like them all pretty much except 1rod he doesn't know enough to be trying to teach people how to fish. He'd do a lot better if he took the time to learn bass fishing maybe look at these forums as they are the best teaching tool I've ever come across. I learned everything I know by reading every article and forum on here.
DaleGribble Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 1rod1reels videos kinda suck.... Very little information and cringeworthy at times. Seems like a weird guy. Very nice, but weird. Every fish he catches is huge until he gets it within 4ft. Ever get tired of hearing "Lets go!" Jon B from FTMW is my new favorite. Very informative and he puts production value into his videos. Seems like a cool guy. 3
punch Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'm happy all these guys are putting out such quality content for FREE. I applaud all of them for spending their time and money doing it. When I was 15 (35 now) and first started fishing the only way I learned anything about fishing was from magazines and watching LIVE fishing shows. Someitmes you could pick up tips from guys at sporting goods stores, but they didn't know anything beyond the basics. Having access to all this information would have been life changing back then. The deep well of instructional videos on youtube is such a great tool that really can make people better anglers almost instantly. I find myself watching a lot of videos for fishing techniques and species that I know I'll never ACTUALLY fish simply because I can.

I only started fishing at 35 and didn't know a single person who fished. Without youtube videos I would have never figured out how to cast properly (not that I still don't mess it up about 2/3 of the time) and likely would have gotten discouraged and quit. I still far far prefer reading a well written review or set of instructions but for some things there is really no replacement for seeing how something is done.

Super User K_Mac Posted March 2, 2016 Super User Posted March 2, 2016 There are many wannabees making videos, most of whom will never make anything but noise. There will always be kids quitting school to do something at which they will not likely succeed, although some of the most successful people have done just that. I am still a little baffled by this whole internet thing, but I am not sure the world is anymore messed up because of it. On 3/1/2016 at 1:43 PM, S.

I hope this isn't the case as 4 kids college $ is not going to be easy or cheap to come by. In the fishing world, 100k is a lot of subscribers. In the actual "professional youtuber" world of getting paid to make videos, it's a drop in the bucket and pedestrian at best. You can (I don't agree with it but they found a loophole so whatever) make a ridiculous amount of money making youtube videos but those people have millions upon millions of subscribers and put out videos at a much higher . Here's a link that will make you sick at how much money these guys make doing very little. I'm not sure if it says more about the people watching or making them. http://newmediarockstars.com/2015/04/how-much-do-youtubers-make-what-these-22-creators-actually-earn-its-much-more-than-you-think/6/ Also, here's a cool article on how AdSense (what you need youtube to link to your channel to make $) works. http://www.pennapowers.com/how-much-do-youtubers-make/
ranger7717 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 in fishermen....lots of species besides bass , those guys know how to fish anytime, anywhere, any fish
S. Sass Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 If that is true I couldn't do that to my daughter and I only had one child. College is not cheap! I couldn't fathom satisfying my personal desire/dream at the expense of four kids college education. I would classify that as selfish (if indeed that is a accurate description). Or putting that much stress on my wife to be the one to carry that burden of financial responsibility. Of course if granddaddy is footing the bill or inheritance I guess that is a different story. But I never did want or use my parents as a financial crutch. I wouldn't have felt like I was doing my job taking care of my family. Of course that is my opinion and I do not know the details of his situation. Not trying to bash as people are different. In today's world many apparently don't see a problem with mommy and daddy raising a 40 yr old mans kids. Or dumping the responsibility on their partner. Or taking money from the government to get a free ride. Really sad from a old school mentality. iabass8 I see what your saying. I just feel that a "professional" YouTube is about as likely to happen as a high school kid making the NFL a career. Everyone has dreams and aspirations but reality is in there somewhere. I wonder how many actually make a living at YouTube vs how many people are actually making YouTube videos.
Super User burrows Posted March 3, 2016 Author Super User Posted March 3, 2016 I didn't post this topic to bash anyone! I keep up with all my channels and was pointing out the competition on bass channels I'm subbed to one rod one reel and lake fork guy and Jon b and a heck of a lot of other bass fishing channels. These guys are very professional and know what there doing they make a decent living otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. I don't think that we should judge ppl for what they choose to do for a living, there is nothing better for a man to do than to find enjoyment in his hard work. 2

Ersteman Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Thank you to those mentioning Fat Cat Newton. I had never heard of him. Funniest fishing videos I've ever seen. I love the comments too, at the people who think he's serious. Those vids caught me laughing out loud at work. 1

Many here are not judging, voicing their own opinion and criticisms of youtuber or videos. Maybe we need a dictionary link for word definitions here? Many get butt hurt about criticisms of their "products", yes a video is a product....and cry "judgemental", and take it personal. They need to get over it and learn the difference.... If you can't criticize a product, you sure can't rave about it either. What's the difference? Perspective. Feeling don't matter.
