cjam93 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hey guys today I have been watching the series Scott Martin is putting on youtube and really enjoying it. Are there any other anglers you know of flw or bass doing the same kind of video series? Thanks! 2 Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I think Jacob Wheeler does something, one of the Shryock brothers I think also. Quote
FordsnFishin Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I watch Jacob wheeler and scott Martin fairly often. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 28, 2020 Super User Posted January 28, 2020 Scotts is going to be interesting because he is going to be focusing on Bass Open events and trying to reach the Elites . He had a good start with a 5th place finish in the opening event . He was 60th after the first day . You get a look at the life of a Bass Pro . This will not be a cake-walk , theres a lot of outstanding competition fishing the opens . Wouldnt a Youtube channel of a young angler trying to make it be good to watch ? 2 Quote
Hower08 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Scott Martin Jacob Wheeler both Fletcher and Hunter Shryok Roland Martin Brian Latimer and a few others as well. I like the YouTube stuff better than most fishing shows on TV Most of the real young YouTube fishing kids are a bunch of goof balls that you can't take more then about two minutes of watching. 1 Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Roland Martin is surprisingly entertaining and good in his youtube videos. The guy knows how to be enthusiastic about things. 2 Quote

He's got soo many tricks up his sleeve and I love his DIY projects. I catch Wheeler on *** all the time, he's good too. Nothing beats Bob Izumi tho haha Quote
Hawkeye21 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Brandon Palanuik has some good videos as well. 3 Quote
GReb Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I watch all the Wheeler, Connell, and MDJ videos for comedy. Connell is a riot. 1 Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I love Brian Latimer's channel. I have learned a ton from him. I'm not a fan of Scott or Roland so I really don't watch their channels. I enjoy Wheeler's but he needs to learn more about lighting and camera work some of his videos give me headaches from the camera motion and lighting. David Dudley also have a great channel. 2 Quote

flyingmonkie Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I spend way too much time on YouTube. Hunter Shryocks "27" series is AMAZING! His newer "24/7" stuff is good too, but "27" chronicles his 2017 season of the Bassmaster Opens that ultimately qualified him for the Elite Series (He had 27 days of open competition to qualify for Classic/Elites). Palaniuk's videos are also at the top of my list. Not Bass/FLW, but if you're into kayak tournaments, Greg Blanchard has a great channel. Jon Boat tournaments? Check out SBFISHINGTV. 5 Quote

Jacob is primarily a vlog, not a ton of info provided but he drops a few tips and such every episode and he shows the good and bad. He's a fun watch while I'm doing other stuff. B-Lat is a mix, he does pure info dump videos and then he's got total fluff/fun stuff where there might be some info mixed in or not. I have only watched a couple of Scott Martin's videos so I don't know yet. I know a couple others have channels but it doesn't seem like they put a lot of effort into it consistently. I'd bet that changes in the next year or two. Sponsors will start pushing pretty hard and also making it easier by providing camera/editing support and content ideas if needed. It amazes me that more of the pros aren't doing this. It's literally their business. The fish are totally secondary, they're marketing people and niche celebrities. The fact that most of them have little or no presence on the key social media platforms is nuts. If it hasn't happened already I would bet that Jacob and Brian can negotiate a significant increase in their sponsorship levels and get sponsor support for their social media work. Jacob basically lives in his jersey on video and both of them spend a lot of time talking about and naming sponsored gear. Unless they're ignoring YT rules, even the videos they do about specifically sponsored equipment isn't being paid for or specifically provided for the video. I know that my buying decisions have been influenced by their videos. Including specifically getting the Z-Man chatterbaits because of B-Lat's videos. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 30, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 30, 2020 I love B-Latt's channel! I wouldn't say the fish is secondary to anything. To borrow a quote from Zona, the fish itself was, is, and always will be the star of the show. No fish= no show Quote
Dangerfield Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 From a non-pro angle, there's a long list of great YT personalities: KeepinItReelFishing (Karl is hands down my favorite YT personality, in-depth breakdowns on gear and tackle, sportspal user) Tackle Advisor (reel teardowns, maintenance, reviews and comparisons) Online Outdoorsman (kayaking, technique specific) The Nature of Fishing (in depth knowledge for every fishing situation, older guy with straight facts, no sizzle) Salt Strong (reviews, maintenance, rigging videos) i_fish (reviews, teardowns, in-depth look at gear etc) BassResource.com Jekyll Productions - custom painting 3 Quote

GReb Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Wheeler and Scott Martin both pay folks to do most of the filming and all of the editing. Time is the barrier most pros face. They don’t sacrifice the time to film and edit videos. But I think you are seeing more guys that realize it can be a source of money and influence to help gain sponsors. Not mention they already have a decent base of subs day 1 so they are in the money very early on Quote

You're like the Bob Ross of Fishing videos. No disrespect, nothing but admiration. Thanks, Dangerfield. No disrespect taken. That's another check in the Bob Ross column. I've also been likened to: Mr. Rogers, Bill Nye, Jim Carey, Doug Hannon, Glen Lau, and even Al Lindner (although, I'm much more Ron than Al, I think). I think Bob Ross may be the most appropriate. "I see a happy little Potemogeton ri-i-i-i-ight over there." :)) No sizzle. For fish(ing) nerds only. The rest will be bored. 1 1 Quote
