Published 2024-02-22
This is the most accurate representation that I can find of how bass may actually see. We know that bass vision is different than human vision. This video will give you a good idea of how bass see color differently than we do. Bass vision is a fascinating topic.

  • The only thing that I know for sure is that the bass aren’t commenting on this.
  • @TheFishNerd
    Cool stuff!! But I found myself REALLY wanting more side by sides views rather than fully replacing the images.
  • @WesleyAPEX
    I always throw natural colors because bass get used to eating shad and crawfish so of course silver/yellow and red/brown matches what they’re used to seeing.
  • @Yojimbocatfish
    I think you need to include water clarity as well. The colors will filter out in different clarities of water and light conditions
  • This was without a doubt one of the best videos I have seen about Bass Fishing in my 48 years of fishing. Your videos never disappoint and this one is no different. Your the morden day Doug Hannon.
  • @fritzfedke8079
    Wanna shake up the fishing lure industry ? someone make glasses that show the colors that bass actually see.
  • @gospideygo8781
    Agree with the other posters - this video is gold. Now I know why they say most lures are made to catch bass fishermen - ha ha. Man I could have saved some money on all the yellow I have 😂 . Well glad to know now, and this helps greatly in simplifying my gear. Thanks Steve!
  • @apiii73
    When I was a kid we went far north in Canada camping and fishing. We fished in lakes that had never been fished in before. The waters were very dark from tannin. Our best lures by far were fluorescent orange. We hauled the fish in. Mostly Northern Pike and Walleyes
  • @erichildreth7562
    Wow this really does make a difference as to what colors bass really do see. It is amazing as to how chartreuse is actually white and how the glitter stands out. Amazing video and thanks for sharing!!!
  • @donkukawski8609
    Awesome info Steve..going to have to take this into consideration when airbrushing all the lures i do from now on.
  • @BillQuick-qo6lp
    Hey Steve, all great stuff! I recently came across your videos. Wow, I’m amazed at the different perspective you bring. I’ve learned a ton already! THANK YOU!
  • @brett7794
    Thank u for not having commercials
  • @Taylor-vz4ot
    Love knowing i can simplify my color selections. And the color vision in the video reminds me of Kratts Creatures from back in the 90s. Lol.
  • @thestime
    Love your videos Steve. You've produced so many great videos that change the way people think about what is actually going on under the water with regard to sight and sound. You get right to the point and everything is explained so well without all the useless chatter that others use to make longer videos. You put in so much more effort and it in my mind it makes you stand out from the crowd. Keep up the awesome work my friend!!!
  • @gregc7314
    Thank you for this. I get in arguments all the time with regards to yellow/chartreuse and blue colored baits.
  • @shanescott3168
    Interesting and helpful video. It would also be helpful to see what lures look like at depth in different water conditions.
  • @ADKyakman
    This is great.. it did you ever think, what if the bass itself has a color blindness issue
