I am a single Mom to my 10 year old son, Thank You for all your help. His first catch was a 7.2 pound stripped bass! You now have two new Subscribers. This Was a memory he will never forget.

Thanks man, my dad never took me fishing as kid, so i am having to learn from you tubers like you. Thanks for the simple patient explanation.

I've been fishing for 7 years and that's the best beginner teaching videos I've ever seen. Nice job

I'm 56 years old and doing this for the first time in many, many years. Thank you for a video that didn't make me feel like an idiot!

Haven't fished since I was a kid. Don't have a dad or granddad to show me the ropes. Thanks for being my e-dad and reminding me how to rig up!

Quick and easy explanation, no fussing around. Going fishing for the first time tomorrow... also kinda encouraging that you can use a simple piece of chicken as a bait, I didn't even know that. Cheers!!

Thank you for posting. Never fished growing up. My son who is 3 saw some people fishing the other day and wanted to try. I went and bought the rods and reels but had no clue how to set it up. We are all set up now thanks to you.

Thank you so much! As a single woman who has not been taught how to do this, for the first time thanks to you I have successfully put my rod together! Thank you!

Love how he gives me encouragement for buying a rod, thanks mate, means alot

I'm going out for the first time this weekend, and I have no idea what I'm doing! Thank you for this informative video.

Greg, I've been watching since the early kitchen days. You taught me to cook, and now, to fish. I will eat for life, thanks to you Greg!

Thank you very much sir those idiots didn't include any form of instruction with the new fishing rod that I ordered from Amazon I didn't have anyone to show me how to put it together so I get on KZfaq and your video was perfect for me. Your instructions was so clear and simple to understand.You have a friend down in Jamaica Thank you MAN. Thanks again

I am 18 , i found my dad's old rod , and i want to start fishing so bad right now . thanks for the help grandpa ❤

Went fishing with my son today for the first time. I used your video from beginning to end!

Never had a dad and I wanna get into fishing. This meant the world to so many more than you'll ever know

This video was made 4 years ago but today in 2023 I’m finding it very useful, will be buying my first fishing rod this weekend. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video!! When I was younger I used to go fishing every once in a while with my dad so I kind of know how to bait a hook and cast, with my dad just doing all the rest for me haha. I’m 17 now and my dad unfortunately passed away a few years ago and I haven’t been fishing since. However, a few days ago me and my mom decided that the two of us should go fishing!! So now we’re buying all the supplies from scratch (since dad’s equipment is unavailable) and I’m learning how to do everything on my own because my mom basically doesn’t know a thing about fishing. I’m currently setting up my first fishing rod (with your help!) and it’s kind of hard to get the hang of keeping the spool in place while still allowing it to unspool, but I was able to find a DIY system that works haha. Do you (or any of you that are reading this) have any tips for me, who is having to both learn everything myself and then turn around and teach everything I learned to my mom? It would be GREATLY appreciated!!! 💖 EDIT: I went fishing with my mom for the first time a couple of days ago! It took a little while to get the hang of casting without getting the line tangled (idk if that has something to do with the way I set it up or not lol) but by the end of the day I was able to cast a good distance without getting tangled!! We weren’t able to catch a thing, but we had to start pretty late so that’s understandable, and plus it’s all about the experience anyways so we still had fun. About an hour in I got suuuper close to catching one small fish, but he let go at the very last possible second haha. Looking back, I got so excited that something was actually biting that I probably forgot to snag it good enough lol. We’ll definitely be going again at some point and when we do, those fishies better be prepared!! 😝

best beginer tuturial! I understand the process in minutes!

Single mom bringing theboy after work today. Super nervous no idea what im doing. This was clear and very helpful. Thank you 😊

I took my son fishing today and he caught his first fish, even got it on video 😁 thank you sir for this tutorial is was memorable 👍

Have seen so many beginner videos and finally i found a straight forward one that i can understand... Many Many Thanks

Hi, I'm going fishing for the first time in many years (since I was a wee lad) and this video showed me how to set everything up. I'm so grateful for you making this video. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tips, just bought my first ever fishing gear and going fishing now for the first time, will be uploading my results on my channel too, fish on amazing people.

Thanks! I used to fish almost every weekend with my dad but he passed before i was old enough to learn to set up the rod. Going to get back into it!!

Thanks for that tutorial. That was brilliant. Just taken delivery of my Shakespeare catch more 7ft kit and clueless how to set up. But your demo was very informative, so I'm really looking forward to having a go at fishing first time at 51yrs 🎣😉 thanks!!

This is BEYOND the best video out there for beginners! Wonderful, I'm sure alot of noobies appreciate this!

I've been fishing for 50 years but someone always set my rig up for me. I have to do it myself now so I greatly appreciate your videos.

I’ve been fishing for all my life as a child and now a 40 year old man and I will agree that was very informative and helpful for beginners of all ages, kudos

Thanks for helping me understand tying a knot. New to this and was starting to feel stressed and I haven’t even started haha.

Awesome man, trying to teach my son to fish so he has some survival skills unlike myself and this video was what I needed. I remembered most everything from childhood fishing trips save for the knot and you explained that beautifully! Much appreciated

Hey even after 5 years and me getting my litle brother in to fishing anf teaching him how to set up his rod and this is probably the best tutorial ive seen 💯👍👍👍

I haven't gone fishing in almost 15 years and this video truly helped me set my rod up in 30min the second I saw you twist the line to make the not a memories kicked in on how to preceed

Finally and easy to understand basic rig set up. Thanks mate 👍🏾

Just bought my first rod couple days ago and this is the best setup video I’ve watched. Thank you for being so easy to understand yet informative!

I use to fish with my dad as a kid but I never paid attention. Now that my boy wants to fish I have to relearn. Your video was awesome A+ brother!

This was a big help, I haven’t been fishing in years after my parents divorce I didn’t hang with my dad much but this is awesome I forgot how to set up everything I think it’s been over 10 -12 years without fishing and I’m going this week with a friend to remember the good old days, thank you !

This is genuinely the best fishing video I've seen. Nicely shot, simple, and great editing. Well done and thanks!

I just bought myself a new set up so I really appreciate this!

Finally a video to refresh my memory. This it's how I was taught! (last time fishing was 10 years ago). Awesome thank you! 💙💙💙

Taking my daughter fishing today. I think she's as excited as I am.

Instruction not clear. I think I’m stupid

I used to watch your cooking show! Glad to see you making all sorts of videos.

Just got my first fishing rod for my birthday and I have to set it up myself. This video was super helpful thank you so much

I’ve never fished before so I picked up a fishing kit at Costco but realized I have no idea what I’m doing. I watched this video and it answered all my questions. Thanks!

Best beginners video I’ve ever saw thank you so much for the information

You said small rod... I relate to that statement

Since I was a kid back in México I dreamed about fishing... now, downhill, in Canada, I will try it for the first time. Thank you very much.

I love how you didn't get all fancy with the knot tying. Just twist and through the loop 😁🩴

What an amazing tutorial me and my friends caught four bag size fishes from your lesson thanks a lot

When he said “good on you for buying one” was I the only one who said thank you? I was ok! Ok just checking hahah

Man, I logged in just to say thank you. Im 45 and havent been fishing since i was a teen with my father. He did all the setting up for me then and now my 13 yr old wants to go and I have to get this down before i cost us a fish tonight for my lack of knowledge.

Very detailed, understandable and easy to follow thank you , I been searching all over KZfaq for someone to just make it plain and simple with all the directions . And not leave out bits lol

This is one of my favorite channels on youtube that never uploads. Glad to see you back. Could you make more videos on how to propagate fruit trees? It seems very complicated to me. Have you ever tried propagating by air-layering?

Just beginning myself, never seen the line going from top to bottom, always done it the other way, can't get it to wind on, maybe that's why

Great video, simple and straight to the point. Thanks for not giving us your life story before instructing everyone on how to set up a fishing rod.

i cant believe all the years ive loved gregs kitchen and now im looking at fishing vids and the legend appears once again!

Super duper helpful thanks man

really simple and useful, thank you man ;)

Wow i’ve been searching for a tutorial video to teach my 9-yr old son. Thank you for uploading this, it really helped. I can’t wait to take him tomorrow for the first time. My dad made it look so simple for his daughter.. i’ve never been taught how to cast or set up the line. Thanks a bunch. Wish me luck tomorrow.

recently i saw so many videos on how to set up your rod and everything and quite frankly yours was by far the most useful one ..... simple, straight to the point, easy to understand... not like all the other professionals that focus too much on what line should i use or whatever. So Thank you

Absolutely brilliant video, thank you!

greg the gardener sure looks like the greg that cooks food!

watched your video last year after buying my rod. You taught me all, thanks so much. Was too busy fishing afterwards I forgot to say thanks lol. Have a good day!

I hadn’t been fishing in years me and my husband just bought new rods forgotten how to set them up so thank you for the refresher love fishing its so relaxing

Thank you sir.. Very helpful for a beginner like me.

I've been fishing since I could remember but never learned to set my own rod. This was the easiest tutorial I've ever seen. Now I can teach my daughter. Off to Chesapeake we go ! Thank you ❤

Of so many videos on KZfaq, I think you may be the only who showed actually putting the sinker/hook process. Thanks

THANK YOU so much for your video. I'm a 47 years old that I never fish before, and my son has been asking to go fishing.
