Thread: Setting the hook watching livescope

I've been amazed lately as I've started to set the hook when I see a fish charge my jig and do what appears as a loop de loop when he get's there. I've been assuming too much with the sensistivity of my slow taper special with 3# twitch master I would feel something, but I've learned that if the fish is swimming hard right at your jig he's putting enough slack when he takes it you feel nothing. Amazed at how much my connect rate has gone up just by seeing and setting. Scott

Sounds aweaome to watch

Interesting

Post us a video, I am aware of exactly what you are talking about.

Old fashioned? Line watching will never go out of style. There’ll always be a time and place to use it, young buck.

No offense meant, YOBUCK.

I used to be a dockshooter prior to live scope and used to be a big line watcher. I know that feeling of setting the hook when something doesn't feel right " Mushy " for lack of a better word and definately know that feeling when the line jumps 2" usaly about 2 seconds after the jig hit's the water but this is different. It is visualy showing me just how many times a crappie takes your jig and spits it back out without you ever being aware it happened at all . It would make a good video especialy with someone who has some editing skills to make a good video but that's not me. I fish by myself most of the time and my internet is crappie but I'm going to accept the challenge and try to get a video. There is supposed to be a way to record video to your phone through active captain . Does any one know how to do that. I have an 8616 XSV . Scott
