You tube channels

[Bass Turd]

... and Darcizzle Offshore... wooo hoooo!

[burrows]

Travis Moran is worth mentioning although his videos are aimed tords marketing products I enjoy watching them. The editing is great and there is a lot of tips and techniques as well.

6K a week?? I need to work on my camera skills... I don't do it to try to get viewers though, it's just fun to go through and watch the recap of my trips and catch some of my dumb moves on camera. 

What's your channel....I'll subscribe! Finding Kansas fishing videos can be challenging. Love to see what kind of fish are out there.  O and money is why guys do it. It's good marketing for the company's that make all the equipment we use to catch fish. Plus what better person to promote but a regular average joe who loves fishing and just started YouTube for fun, but then it turned into something more.

Have y'all seen mikeybalzz fishing on you You Tube? He's a young guy with a lot of style, and catches a lot of big mamas in the thick stuff on Lake O in Florida.

This was from my last last trip.

You kno who is good. This dude SKARFishing. Usually fishes to music but has a few informative in depth videos that are very well put together.

I like his vids also. Fishes mostly the Susquehanna river down by Harrisburg and local lakes.

I noticed that with Lucky Tacklebox (LTB) sponsored channels as well as Intagram pages. I understand to an extent that you have to mention product because you have to uphold your end of the sponsorship, but people have become "sell outs" and replace heir unique style and tips with those supplied by sponsors which seems the case with LTB and MTB sponsored YouTubers.

I must be way too old, I couldn't care less what anyone else has bought and definitely don't want to watch them unpacking it. I appreciate the difference between your own shopping and opening sponsor's product though. The world is a bit mad if people sit at home on their computers watching people unpacking their shopping. I might start a channel with a live fridge cam, so people can watch the traffic in and out of my fridge. Should be a huge hit!

Ditto! I'm not too old but I could care less about which product some guy I don't even know uses. I mean really? Not trying to be offensive,especially being a newbie here but sometimes I think bass fishermen are no different than any other groupies. Buy this,buy that,wear this shirt,throw that crankbait. No thanks. I like watching bass fishing videos as much as the next guy,but I don't give them but a few seconds once the commercials start.

Haha, I was thinking about this when I was watching some youtube vids. Im just glad to be able to watch some fishing action when I cant get out. I def agree about unboxings but hey, people love em. If I had a popular channel, Id make up great vids for every little aspect of bass fishing no matter how much it doesnt make sense. 

"How to find youtube fishing vids to watch"

"Unloading my the car., the story of Unbagging the unboxing of my Academy order"   ....LOL

I think my new pet peeve for fishing vids is every 1 pounder is yelled out as a "LUNKER" then about 3 seconds later, they correct themselves. Then later in the video, they set the hook and lose a fish that was a "LUNKER" ... You kinda loose credibility on the "big one" you lose when all the other big ones you say on the fight look like Nemo when you get them in.

While all these plugs are annoying, I respect the fact that a guy has to make a living.

My favorite show/magazine is by the Minnesota guys of In-Fisherman because it's geared towards the northern lakes in this area, although the show is chock full of plugs which can take up some time in the show.

He's one of the few that I like to watch. 

[lmbfisherman]

I agree and I'm glad they get to do what they want, however I can't stand some of them anymore because i think they did sell out.  Two of them mentioned here I unsubscribed awhile ago because of this.

[BronzeChaser]

I guess I'm a little different from most guys on here. I'm 22 so i guess I'm part of the "new" generation. But I enjoy watching edited fishing videos that are action packed with music playing. It helps show what action can happen on the water and it's just cool to see in my opinion. I also will watch technique videos and occasionally an unboxing because I just like seeing what people have lol. It's the same thing as guys on here posting pictures of their rods/reels. I just started making fishing videos for fun and most of what I've done is just edited videos with no talking, because I've yet to get a good audio setup. I've always been interested in the video making process so I appreciate all styles of videos that someone has put good effort into. 

[J Francho]

I have sponsors...I don't cram it down everyone's throat.  In fact, I don't even have a YouTube channel!  Also, buy and AT Paddle!

[burrows]

I'm not sure if any of you seen this yet but Jon b  of fishing the mid west and Andrew flair just posted a video of fishing on Garry Yamamoto's private pond on his compound its super cool video.

[loudcherokee]

I subscribe to a few. I do enjoy the Jon B videos, as well as Sydney Sewell.

The disturbing trend for me is the gear review videos posted by 12 year olds. It's frustrating when trying to research a product and every kid out there with a cellphone is posting their review saying "um you should buy this reel because it's a good reel because this thing spins and I've caught fish on it". No technical or product knowledge whatsoever.

Unboxing videos are popular because people check them out in order to better help them decide if they want to purchase the product or service.

Unboxing vidoes are wildly popular no matter the type of hobby or type of product.  I personally like them.

[avidone1]

Hey, a guys gotta make a living right?

 

[Neil McCauley]

There needs to be a hickok45 of fishing. I have yet to find one.

[Kevin22]

I noticed that with fluke. I subbed years ago because he was a regular guy teaching the world to fish. He made a point in several videos that he is not sponsored and doesn't want to to be sponsored, and he doesn't fish tournaments, all because he wants to be unbiased and share his knowledge. Now he raves about his alumacraft boat (on their pro staff), has a deck full of 13 rods and no 8 gear (sponsored), and every video is about some sort of product endorsement with a small-how to in it. The last few have been decent though. But still, whenever someone asks a "what rod to use" question it used to be answered with "find a 7'MH rod that you like...", now its "go buy a no 8 blackout and a thirteen reel. 

[bowhunter63]

Really like Honey Hole outdoors and Bassresource

[Djf3864]

I watch a ton of fishing videos on YouTube, its a great place to get a different point of view on a subject or see how someone else approaches the same technique. 

I really enjoy TackleJunky81, *, Kevin Bullington, Bass Reasource and a few others.

As far as content I like all different video types; how-to, tips and tricks, technique specific how-to's and the unboxing videos.  For the unboxing videos I appreciate the opportunity to see new tackle that I do not have, may be looking to buy, or would not normally buy.  Gives a good view of bait and unique features of it in someone's hands up-close rather than looking at it on a website.

 

[Senko lover]

I'm a huge fan of YouTube fishing channels; I too was sad to see a lot of the big names go the professional route in the last couple of years. I still watch their channels, but with less enjoyment.

 

You wanna know a freaking great channel? DallMYD. The dude has some epic videos. He is sponsored by one company I think but he rarely showcases them.

 

 

[mojojojo]

Mike Iaconelli is one of the worst when it comes to this. Its all about greed first and foremost. These types of guys will do absolutely anything for a buck
