[OptimisticLifestyle]

Looks like fun!

[igofish2day]

Don Pedro, McClure New Melones and the Delta all have monster bass in them w/ less traffic..:)

[MichaelKEsau]

I catch nice bass all the time and I'm in northern California you just need to know where to go

[ERICTLG]

[goatkiller68]

CATCH & RELEASE

[Fin616]

I live in Cali and I was wondering where that lake is

[normalguyable]

stop murdering innocent fish, youre destroying their lives as well as the ocean! fish have feelings and are social beings, then you might as well kill your dogs as well

[netefrog]

@normalguyable

Get lost!!

[jigpitcher7]

[JuGULARICEMAN]

I'd have to agree with youarb1 in saying that California bass fishing is much harder than my experiences on the east coast, for example. There is no visible structure on the shorelines and the fishing pressure is extreme, in addition to the loud, constant water activity. I think these few experts catch a majority of the big bass here.

[fenderjoey1234567890]

where do u find those hallow belly minmow swim baits? i can never find them

[cali805couple]

@fenderjoey1234567890 ebay has them in all kids of different colors

[DandelionMidget]

@fenderjoey1234567890 JOEY!!! wow i just happen to be watching this video and saw you.  no creepo

[cordless05]

@UnitedPonys if you hold the fish horizontally it can. but if you just hold it vertically it shouldnt hurt the fish

[maskful]

The Kundera are awesomeeee!!!!!!!

[falconrod1]

what rod and reel do u use for swimaits.

[itsmewang]

california baby.......

[plywood75]

the most informative video i have seen in a long time. thanks

[venicereef]

did they design the eyes on the bbz from bill simentells eyes! stay out of hawks nest!

[gtflyer]

Good stuff...dvl can produce fish, the key is ..finding the big girls..

BTW, some of you think our resivors are high pressured..ha..try fishing city park lakes...

[LunkerAngler]

Before Elvis There Was Nothing (In music).

Talking about fishing, There was Nothing Before Al Linder.

Nice video!.

[philly442]

has anyone tried a skirted lock and lure jig with a black chunk bait? I'd love to try it heard it works well.

[philly442]

use two hands to lip them and support then if there 15+ pounds or else your going to dislocate there jaw, then they will die

[NorCalFishinguru]

Good tip, thanks. Now theres the issue of catching that 15+ pounder, haha

[philly442]

yeah in texas the bass population is decreasing rapidly :\

[TheEliteFisherMan]

very good video, thanks for sharing !

[enlopez2k9]

Yeah spinning reels are for sissies...

[NorCalFishinguru]

Spinning reels are for light line finesse applications in clear water and for heavily pressured educated fish. If you dont have a spinning rod with 6lb flouro or something your missing out

[rangerbass519]

I you're using a spinning reel to catch fish in south cal you're doing something wrong. haha jk. Props to al.

[ronaldreika]

al, a retard could catch a fish at diamond valley lake. now dixon lake is a real challenge due to fishing pressure and heavy noise by picnicers. how to get those bass a bitin' in the middle of august during the heat of the day, i haven't seen anybody do it.

[JCURRYSAD]

Ron, Agreed on DVL being a cake walk. I have won a bunch of money on DVL. Pretty awesome lake, as far as dixon goes. That place is even easier. Especially in the summer. Not too mnay people know this but off shore there is a big high spot that goes from 60 to 20. Throw a 3/8 or 1/2 oz jig( green pumpkin) on 10lb with a GYCB craw on the back. I just manhandled that place last week. You can always D shot on 5lb and destroy.. 8lb carolina rig out on 30-50 with a watermelon 4inch baby brush hog

[ronaldreika]

i had luck with a gizmo i fish with in the med. a 40 gram clear resin bobber with a light fluorocarbon leader about a yard long. then you throw on the lure or swim bait and watch the rising. it's a blast. it also works in salt water and freshwater striped bass. tnxs 4 the info jcurrysad

[ronaldreika]

rvollin1935. you ever tried eat a large mouth? its mushy and tasteless. your lucky, in allentown pa. you probably got a trout stream nearby. in so ca. gotta go 2 the sierras to get trout. in barcelona spain the streams r a little closer. the med. still gives good fishing. keep on rockin'

[grumper2351]

Then you not fishing right. I am in Columbus, Ohio and 4 pounders are not that tough. Started catching them in public water after fishing for only 2 years.

[nickthoj]

lol, 8lb on corn, hey if your that good, why dont you just come down here with your corn and collect on all the tournaments?

[b0b88]

come down to southern cal and try to catch a 8 lb on ANYTHING. i gurantee you wont be able to stick one even on a crawdaddy. just because thers a lot of big fish caught down here doesnt mean there easy to catch. only 10 percent of fishermen are really consistent at catching big fish. everyone else gets lucky

[philly442]

I've caught plenty of fish in southern california

[plywood75]

Folsom lake used to be awesome, i dont know what happened. I am now here in syracuse NY and catching on average 8-10 fish a day on average 2-3 pounders. a lot of fun. come check out the finger lakes.

[bmxflyfish]

I love california fishing but when it comes to bass im all florida!

[sidosido3]

fuck^^

big bass veryvery nice shit

RESPECT

[youarb1]

acm4bass the california lakes where bill fishes are some of the most pressured bass fishing lakes in the world.

[damianraver]

@youarb1 i wouldn't say world....unless you have fished the world then ur statement proves nothing!

[acm4bass]

I have Siemantels book and video, and remain unconvinced his sytem is teachable. One thing he does in the video is intuit where the fish should be and does a direction change....yet he fails to go into the entry level detail of how to reproduce his technique....seems more like a cheerleader for trophy bass fishing....love to see him come a bit north and try the high pressured motherloade lakes.

[cartman85]

hes trying to sell his dvds hes not gonna tell you everything....

[pikefisherman3]

i'm gonna fish california soon.5*

[oppythemouse]

al rules woohoo!

[dickenbaum]

Bill is awsome,keep up the good work. Point system sounds like a winner!
