Ott, can you do more videos where you are teaching us as you fish. When you were talking about the area to fish alone the steep bank it made so much sense. 🐟🎣

This style of video is great! I think we learn as much from hearing you teach someone on the boat as they do! Do more of these, very helpful! Good luck this season!

Ott that’s the same Tiny color I was able to find in the store! Thanks for posting this. I learned a little something about how deep to setup based off the running depth of the bait. 👊 +2 👊

I love this style of videos. You talking about what you are looking at and just how break down everything. This was great.

Ott, you certainly are a thorough teacher, and what a great opportunity for Daniel to learn from his own boat on boat positioning , I’ve fished a Shad Rap for decades, and I am so glad to watch your cold water techniques and I have a collection of the OG Slims, and Tiny’s, Thank you 🙏

Like watching a pro local that is still down to earth thanks for keeping it real cant wait till the next one

Ott, I really enjoyed this video! I think we all would love more like this where you take Daniel out and teach different styles throughout the year. As always, brother, keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see you out this season!

I enjoy watching these videos just as much as watching B.A.S.S live. I grew up on the St. Johns river down in central FL and moved here just a few years ago. These videos are very informative to learn from. I am lost in water over 5 ft deep lol.

Ott, nice video....watching and listening to you explain what you are doing fishing these Tennessee lakes was good info for me to use when I go to center hill and dale hollow.

Ott your one of my favorite fisherman actually you are my favorite. I love how you always put God first,and how humble you are. I think it's awesome how you help people and show them things that will make them be a better fisherman. Your an AWESOME PERSON. We need alot more people like you in this world. Thanks for always being so kind to your fans and just everyone in general. God bless you sir and your family.

Awesome video Ott! Lot's of good tips through out and amazing how the shad rap puts the fish in the boat

Just checked out your church, Lyons Creek Baptist Church on KZfaq. Watched last Sunday's message, The Good Shepard. I enjoyed the message very much and subscribed. During the service I happened to notice you and your family seating on the front row. I enjoy your videos and hope you will do more videos where you fish and teach.

Daniel is the man!! Took him over to the Holston last year I believe it was in the kayaks, kid crushed them on a crank, broke his PB twice I believe!!

That guy got a master’s class in East TN winter fishing. Lucky!!!

Some good advice today for Daniel beyond the fishing. Well done!

This video rules. Love lessons from Ott!

What a great video. The co angler was a great audience surrogate. And the single lure lesson was primo.

Great video. Love that you are sharing your fishing knowledge and your faith with young people.

When water temps are that cold I really like to use my rod to slowly drag the Shad rap across the bottom. You can really detect the bites better I think when using the rod to slowly move the crankbait across the bottom. Shad rap is definitely one of my favorites to catch bass in cold water. Silent and tight wobble really shines in winter time

My brother has absolutely whipped my butt with a shad rap before. I threw everything and the kitchen sink and he was just chunking and winding an SR-4 and catching em. lol. Since then, I've got a little collection of them and lost the ego about throwing a little crank bait on a spinning rod. I flat out works sometimes when the fish are finnicky.

Lucky kid getting to go out and learn about Jesus and fishin! Great stuff Ott!

Love this style of video. Hearing your thoughts as you find em. 7:37 call your shot was nice! My dad pretty much always has a shad rap tied on. Probably caught hundreds of fish on them over the years in all conditions.

This video was soooo good!!! I felt like I was in the boat watching and listening

This is a super helpful format! Loving these on the water lesson type videos.

Enjoyed the video Ott!! My favorite cold 🥶 water crankbait.

Great content. Usually people who are the best at their crafts have a hard time teaching it. Not the case with you man!

It's funny I've fished that first point you started the video with multiple times and never got a bite... Also never threw the Shadrap until recently. It's amazing how the right bait/presentation for the conditions that day makes such a difference. Great video!

perfect day to throw shad raps. thumbs up

I'm new to the shad rap at 40 yr old ott ,this has kinda give me a different view on it I'll pick it up make a few cast then put it down I think I need to lock it in my hand and learn it thanks for the tips man..

Great video, appreciate the educational aspect of it 👍

Great video! The shad rap is one of my favorites. I have been catching them on a #5 around here.

Been bass fishing for bout a year, and this was amazing! I learned a ton, seriously!!! Thanks

Great day of fishing. Shad rap and tiny doing the job.

Great video 📹 👍 thanks for sharing 👍

I remember that exact point in your opening on Douglas. I caught two massive drum chasing bait on a jerkbait. Thought I had some trophy bass. Dang drum.

Talking about your walk with Jesus while fishing. I heard it in there 💪👍🔥

Wow youngster never through a shap rap best cold water cbait, my butt done got old

Oh that's cool you even do braid to flouro on a jig rod too

Dude! It’s just a pleasure to listen to you talk about fishing and our savior. Really learn a lot from you! Thank you!

Great video, thanks a ton Ott!

Teaching lil Daniel the trick to the home pond! Absolutely can’t beat a shad rap in the winter-march on the TN chain. Especially on ole dougie!

Let's meet up and get on some on Cherokee or Douglas lol! Love your stuff Ott and I have learned a lot from you keep it up.

Awesome video. Cool content!!

Hey ,Ott loved this video coach them up and me to 🙂

very good man

Very good video. Even a seasoned pro like me learned something!!! Ha kidding of course. But still learned something for sure. Keep up the work.

Great instructional video!!!👊🏻 I have the Shad Raps but really didn't know the proper way to fish them. Thaks for teaching me the proper way!!👍🏻 In the video you said something about the depth dive of the bait +2, kind of lost what you meant by that. Could you explain it ? Thak you!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

cant go wrong with shad rap. OG slim is the shit too. Thanks Ott

Awesome video 👍

Just waiting for you to ask me to go to Douglas with you too…. I know you start the new tournament year before long and very willing to wait until you have the time. I don’t know where the bass are but do know where the craps are.

Love the video! Got a spot open in my boat if you ever have a free day..

My friends live on that lake. Im from Michigan. Me and my boy want to come fish that place. Been there a coiple times but never fished it

What color is the Shad rap you were throwing with the dots in the back? It looked tan or cream colored.

Awesome why to learn on the water school with one of the best God bless i appreciate that you give time to others (FISHING SCHOOL) 🙏

I am hoping to retire to this lake....it's always been our home away from home!!

Hey Otter! Man I got a question I have always wanted to ask you and is probably gonna be a tough one lol but what size Shad rap is your favorite for the spring?? Thanks for another awesome video!

@OttDefoe What's your line setup for the shad rap?

If I had to pick 1 lure to fish and 1 only it would be a shad rap. Probably a #7.

Hey ott do you find that fish hit the shad rap more when it’s not bumping bottom. Last year was the first time I used the shad rap and most of the fish hit when it wasn’t hitting bottom and almost at the boat

Do you use the line clips on your crank baits for a quick change or does it give better action?

Do you guys prefer Douglas over Cherokee? I have fished them both around April /May and did better at Cherokee.

What's your favorite size shad rap for Douglas and Cherokee in Spring??? 5,6, or 7

What size line do you like using? Do you prefer the #5 or #6 sharp rap?

That kid is very lucky

Only have to be 15? In Tennessee?

Line size ? Rod? Snap or direct tie?

What was he using before he switched to a shad rap 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Any tips on fishing water temps between 35-39?

Anybody else notice how low the lake was? The docks were WAY up on the shore.

Tenn?

You know he just put in a 1k order for raps on Bass Pro 😂😂😂

A man will find every excuse in the world to explain why you're catching them and he ain't won't he? 🤣🤣

Yeah they probably like his color more not that he’s just out fishing because he’s one of the top two or three fisherman in the world lol

Rapala quality is terrible these days. I cant tell you how many bills on baits that have cracked , sheared off or just plain came off.
