If you could ask Shaw Grigsby a question 2024

Keri reply :

Hi all,

I need help from our members. I'll be spending a day on the water with Shaw Grigsby. I would like to compose a list of questions from our members and post the answers after the classic. So if you could ask him one question, what would it be?

BASSclary reply :

Mr. Shaw Grigsby,

If you were only allowed one lure to fish a tournament, what lure would it be and why?

-Collin "BASSclary"

islandbass reply :

How do you make adjustments (i.e., reassess your situation) to your plan of attack if you come to the realization that your game plan isn't panning out?

For example, if you're fishing rip rap in say 20' of water with nothing to show for it, do you change lure color first, or lure size, or even lure type, or do you move in closer or go deeper?

I've kept it generic because I don't want to have any constraints on his thought process. I also wonder if it would be better to first make observations of water and atmospheric conditions and other happenings first.

As a bank angler 99.999% of the time, I really think it would be helpful to know, especially without the aid of sonar using equipment.

You'll also have to tell him I've adopted his lines, "He just crushed it," or "pummeled it!" I love those lines.

The other question I have for him is, "Mr. Shaw, may I go fishing with you?" ;D

Thanks, Keri!

BASSclary reply :

Have you ever tried fluoro with topwater? If so, do you like it? Because I, BASSclary, does.

lynyrdsky1 reply :

I was reading about how you're able to catch larger fish on a spinning reel by reversing the crank of the reel instead of messing with the drag, how did you come to figure this out?

paangler3117 reply :

I would ask him for any tips on boat control and positioning. Thanks Keri.

Glenn reply :

Ok folks, this is your last chance to ask Shaw a question.

BassChaser57 reply :

I would ask if it gets tiresome that most anglers think all he does is ride around fishing the best lakes without thinking about all the miles, weather, zero paychecks, sponsor obligations, and being away from home. Is there any way to give us weekend anglers an honest view of what being a pro is all about?

I have total respect for pro anglers for their commitment to the effort it takes to get to the top and stay there. This months BassMaster magazine had an article that covered some of Ike's travel adventures, I really enjoyed reading about his travel mis-adventures being a pro.

BassChaser57 reply :

In his opinion -- what is the number one mistake weekend anglers make?

or-

What is the number one change that weekend anglers can make to be a better angler?

Gangley reply :

Similar to what was mentioned above:

When you realize that your plan of attack isn't producing as well as you would like, what is the FIRST thing you change? Color, Lure, depth, etc.

tjmaniac reply :

i would like to know if the bite was slow would he change the color of a lure or the type of lure first and why?

Glenn reply :

The interview went great! Can't wait to show it to you folks!

laus reply :

You're an amazing sight-fisherman. What's the most unexpected response to a lure you've ever seen? How has it changed your approach? Thanks

Keri reply :

I had a ton of fun on the water with Mr. Grigsby, I believe all the questions listed and more will be answered. I got about 3 ½ hours worth of tape so bear with us it's a bit of a process to break it all down so we can post it.

Thanks everyone for the great questions.

That must have been awesome. It sounds like Shaw Grigsby is as genuine in person as he is on television. Congrats to you, Keri, can't wait to see the vid.

NateFollmer reply :

Will you take NateFollmer fishing?

No seriously, can't wait to see it! Shaw is a good man!

NorcalBassin reply :

More of a compliment... that was unbelievable how he was able to tie in all his sponsors at the final weigh-in. He had me crackin up how he fit them all in in 1-2 sentences. It was almost like watching the Truman Show. Simply awesome!

BASSclary reply :

Im excited for the video!

BASSclary reply :

When are we getting the question answers? :-?

Glenn reply :

It's going to be awhile big guy. There's nearly 4 hours of stuff, so I'm going to have to break it apart into smaller chunks. There's a lot of editing that needs to be done.

Keri reply :

I have to say it's true we have so much to break down but it'll be worth the wait. It was such a fun day on the water and I really can't wait to share. Hang there we are working day and night.
