Dropping Bombs (Punching) - Ish Monroe : Remastered
Punching
•
54m
Dropping bombs is like punching, even when there's nothing to punch through. Punching is one of Ish Monroe's top confidence techniques. If the punching bite is on during a tournament, Ish has a good chance to win it. The idea is that Ish is dropping bombs in places where big fish live and other anglers pass up. He's presenting a temting bait, but not giving the bass a lot of time to think about it. All that allows him to cover water efficiently and key in on big bites. Fishing high percentage areas that aren't getting a lot of pressure, moving quickly and fishing a big fish bait is the recipe for tournament success. Learn how Ish Monroe fishes creature baits and big weights to catch big bass.
