Every angler surveys the water when arriving at a fishing spot and tries to determine which color would be best, but Marsh Man Masson wanted to see if the old adages about appropriate colors for stained water are accurate, so he dropped a GoPro down and jigged an assortment of baits and colors in front of it. Some of the results surprised him!

I'm a saltwater fisherman on the west coast and recently got into bass fishing and my local lake is dirty as hell. Fished it 5 times with all kinds of colors with no results until I tried black and blue and started slaying large mouth there ever since.

Marsh Man, I just love your videos and wanted to thank you for the time and energy you put into making them. This is yet again another great example of your enthusiasm for the fishing community. I wish a BIG sponsor would take you on.

Thanks for the great video. I am a newbie to the fishing world. I could never grasp the concept that color makes a difference. You have definitely cleared it up for me.

It is cool to see this color test and also goes to show how close an angler needs to get a lure to a fish in murky water. I like the fishing videos like the next guy, but it is these informational videos that really you apart from others. Keep it up!

Ha, in some cases of the tests I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it!!! Great video. I sometimes holiday in the far western rivers of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. Real muddy color is the norm. Very informative, thanks for taking the time and posting.

Thanks for the underwater test, I enjoyed it as always. It proved to me that black and chartreuse with well rope will work well in dirty water.
