The Most Realistic Fishing Channel on YouTube

REALISTIC FISHING

Keep It Realistic

Can YouTube help me become a better fisherman? Join me as I put other YouTube Anglers’ tips & tricks to the test. I created this channel to share my fishing experiences, both good days and bad. I also want to share the real side of fishing so people new to fishing don’t get discouraged if they aren’t slaying fish left and right like so many videos would make you think is the case.

Over 100,000 Subscribers later and the channel is still growing. I appreciate all of the support from the Realistic Fishing community. In a world of selective editing and hype, I try to keep fishing realistic.

Fall Fishing Tips for Night Fishing and Catching Bass & Bluegill at Public Parks

Curious about how to catch fish at a public park? Today we are doing some fall fishing for bass and bluegill from the bank of a public park. I am starting out with a ned rig, fished on a baitcaster. I catch my first fish just minutes after arriving. The bass managed to bend my Zman jig head so I have to replace it. After a while without any more action, I decide to downsize to a small artificial minnow, a one inch gulp minnow. With this I am able to catch a few bluegill before I go. Catching bass and bluegill in fall is fun, but can be a challenge. Maybe try a ned rig or a Gulp minnow and see how you do. #fishing #realistic Send mail to the show here: Realistic Fishing PO Box 2005 Lebanon TN 37088 Try it yourself!

How to Catch Bass in the Fall on a Ned Rig, Tips for Fishing High Water, & Clearance Fishing Gear

Today I am fishing in a tropical storm here in Tennessee. I'm fishing the high water for bass and panfish. I start out fishing in the morning rain using a lipless crankbait and a ned rig, but I don't get any bites. I pick it back up a few hours later while there is a break in the rain. This is when I start catching fish! I catch a king sized shellcracker on a Ned Rig! I also catch a nice sized bass on a hail Mary attempt with the Strike King Red Eyed Shad. The water levels are up in Tennessee due to the hurricane, and the fishing seems to be improving! #realistic #fishing Send mail to the show here: Realistic Fishing PO Box 2005 Lebanon TN 37088 Try it yourself!

Fall Fishing For Bass And Bluegill – GULP Minnow, Top Water & Texas Rig Fishing From Shore

Early Fall Fishing for Bass and Bluegill can be challenging when its still HOT outside, especially when fishing from shore. This is my third attempt at fishing in two days, and I had to downsize to to make it happen. I am fishing a micro jig head (BG-1) with a Gulp Minnow, and I briefly try a small swimbait. I catch a variety of bluegill and small largemouth bass. None of them are worthy of the i_fish wall of fame, but I gave it a try. If you are struggling to catch anything at all, I might suggest downsizing to a micro jig head to try for some bass and bluegill from the bank. #fishing #realistic Send mail to the show here: Realistic Fishing PO Box 2005 Lebanon TN 37088 Try it yourself!

Keeping it real! Not some BS 12 hour shoot edited to 20 minutes of a fish every cast.

RF proves that kids can fish on gear they can afford on their allowance $ and shows that bank fishing on a budget is all the awesomeness needed to be the Worlds Okayest fisher! Also RF cleans up after slobs who litter the park, and ain't afraid to chew em out for doing it. RF on YouTube is where I go to unwind after work!

Best fishing videos hands down. I have challenged myself to fish all year long and fish more in the winter. RF has inspired me to learn more about fishing and it has brought more catches and let me know not to be discouraged by a strikeout day on the lake.
