1st comment I have ever written... My buddy & I had the dream opportunity to fish w/ Matt a few years ago on Clearlake in February... Matt put us on nothing but giant bass all day! We didn’t catch a ton of fish but the fish we caught were giants!! We both caught our pb & then caught our next pb!! No fish was under 6lbs. It was as if Matt had called up the fish the night before & told them where to be & what time to be there! (Ha) My buddy & I both learned more about bass fishing that day than we had in all the years we had been fishing! Matt didn’t even pick up a rod until we badgered him into it late in the afternoon, and he took one cast, hooked about a 5-6 pound bass, landed it, & put the rod down! I can’t say enough good things about that experience!!! Thanks Matt!! You Totally Rock!

Bass Fishing with the Antichrist Man you really got him. Re read his post. Slowly. Stick with the first sentence. Sound out the words. Good luck.

31:00 your true emotion with the smile explaining the confidence of landing that fish without breaking a line is epic!

I caught my pb last week at 7.7 fishing in a high school tournament!!

I wanted to say Matt, you are completely right about pumping the rod causing you to lose fish. I went through almost a months worth of losing some of the biggest fish I’ve ever hooked before I narrowed it down to me pumping the rod like I was trying to land a blue marlin. That little bit of slack is all they need most of the time. I lost another monster on a jig by pausing to admire the fact that my rod was bent almost in half and the line got just enough slack in it that the fish just walked right out of the hook. Hard lessons to learn but wisdom gained.....

Steve Voelker I’ve never watched him fish but I know my hookup to land ratio evened out when I stopped doing it. I guess if you had the hook pinned completely through the lip it’s ok to do it but a lot of big fish like he said will get the hook right in the roof of their mouth and I lose them when I pump my rod because of all the slack I put in the line when I let off the fish.

followed these tips last winter and got my pb largie 9.1 lbs on the 4.8 keitech just creeping it as slow a I could. 3 casts before I landed a 6.8lbs the same way. got the video on my channel. you guys rock keep on keeping on

Who else wants to go to Northern California and fish for monsters with Matt and Tim ! Gods land, Big Bass and Big Dank Buds!

the “tick” has saved me a ton. i’ve caught most of my “big” fish off of that feeling. i’ve noticed every time my bait would get CRUSHED, it was never as big as I was hoping.

4th.Hey Matt and Tim you guys give some great tips.I wanted to thank you guys for sharing you're knowledge with us.God bless you guys and tight lines!!!

Yes! So many anglers pack up their rods for the winter but that is the best time to catch your personal best or a GIANT! that’s all we’ve been catching lately

Just have to say that this is the best fishing channel on KZread by far. I have been fishing my entire life. And I am a good fisherman. But after watching this channel I have learned a hell of a lot more. And I have been even more successful since watching and implementing what you have taught in these videos. So thank you very much!! And I buy from your online store now. And it’s amazing you guys have everything.

It's so amazing how much you guys know and what great teachers both of you are. Thank you guys for all you do!

I agree on the treble hook and respecting the big mama. But why do we still bounce them on the deck?

It really doesn’t get any better than these type of vids. I don’t even care that I’ll be ice fishing instead of being able to use these techniques. Cannot beat Matt’s experience and info.

This is a Wealth of info especially for those new to swimbait fishing. Even for those of us that have been doing it for sometime, I find Matt offered up some things I did not know, so Thanks Matt. I can't believe there are 17 fools out there that gave this a thumbs down. Where else can you get this much info for free. Outstanding job Matt.

By far the most informative bass fishing channel on YT. Thanks as always Matt and Tim, tight lines!

Throwing a big swimbait is so fun. So thankful for Tactical Bassin. Really appreciate you guys taking time out of your day to pass on your knowledge in these videos to fellow fishermen.

Best bass page ever. Guy handing free lessons like candy.

Thank you for the outstanding information. Helps me to change my mindset from water temperature to "following the fish". I have learned a great deal from your videos. Just an amateur fisherman fishing local tournaments, but you guys really help. Thanks again!!

My hands are a bit sore from the applauding this video. Whether I ever venture out to try this kind of "giants" fishing (I'm getting too old to brave that kind of cold anymore & worry about getting the boat winterized & shrinkwrapped before the white stuff flies), this was one of the best ever instructional and enjoyable videos I've ever watched. You have a unique gift in presenting the info, along with the passion and the attitude - great video, Thanks!

Love these extra long videos! This is a great one Matt! Thanks so much for all you do for us!👍👍👍🤜🤛

You guys are incredible. The tips are amazing but your love for the bass caring for their health and well being of them is what’s crazy🙏🏽. Keep the lessons coming 🙌🏾

You and Tim always provide great videos, tips and product recommendations!!!!

I just ordered my first real swim bait set up and a nice selection of huds , trash fish, etc. and swim bait hooks I’m gonna nail a monster this winter

Great, informative video. A lot of people never consider the leverage shifts when fighting fish. If you don't need to pump, don't pump. Keep that pressure from start to finish...and you finish with the fish.

I love these long vids. Man y’all really nail it on these instructional videos. I never miss an episode. Y’all really out do yourselves. Thank you and Tim and the rest of the gang that work hard to bring us this info. Keep up the great work

Wow. Just amazing your knowledge of Fish blows my mind.

Matt, thanks once again for inspiring me to get on the lake!! Awesome video!!

Great video Matt. No one does a better job of teaching and inspiring than you. I hope to get back out to Cali sometime soon and fish with you again.

Unreal - I feel like I just took a college course in fishing. This is great stuff, watched it twice and took notes because there was so much to learn!

Thank you, Matt and Tim! Incredible Informative and thorough video as always in the past two years, I have changed out all of my Tackle boxes got extremely well organized replace all of my rods and reels, and most of all updated my Tackle because of you two guys! My confidence and ability to go out and have a great day on the water went through the roof! Keep up the great work guys. Y’all are definitely my # 1 source!

I should have paid good money to watch this. Matt, you’re knowledge is worth a lot. I swear, when it comes to giant bass, you may as well be in the same class of angler as the Linder’s. Thank you for all of this.

Hands down the best instructional fishing video I've seen. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

your channel is great with so many tips keep it up. i live in the UK so i don't even have bass but i still love your vids

love that last bit about the extra hook! great stuff man!

Awesome video, probably the best fishing video I have ever seen. Been searching for years for the goods.Thank you!

The video I've been looking forward to ❤❤ INCREDIBLE information inspite of all the crazy boat and jet ski traffic, thank you Matt, your such a Pro and killed it once again, thank you 👊🍻🍺💪💪

Cooking green chili stew, I' m gonna have to hear this one again. WOWZA! Lotta stuff there. 😱🙀🎣🥳😎👍

Quite possibly the greatest fishing channel ever created on youtube...absolutely killed it this video.

Totally awesome addressing not using the belly hook. Couldn't agree more!

listening to you for the first time. great ifo and thank you for directing me to the right gear.

I love all your videos, but I care only about catching giants, so, this is my favorite topic. Thanks!

Great video! Great information!! Went fishing yesterday here in SC air temp 38 water temp 67. Finally found a creek with bait but couldn’t find the bass. Saw more carp in the creek than I’ve ever seen in one place in my life, prob 40-50 giant carp swimming in the shallows.. will be trying again this upcoming weekend. Look forward to the next upload from you guys!!

Tadd Bednar just moved to Texas. Fished Lewisville lake with some good success, stripers and large mouth. Lake Grapevine with minimal success and will be hitting Ray Roberts here in next couple of weeks. Where is best place to put our boat in? Any recommendations on where to go on the lake and baits that work best for this time of year?

@taddbednar9957

@@chanceofalifetime I put in at Isle Du Bois. Has two courtesy docks, bathrooms, and a fish cleaning station. The lake is a State Park so entry at any location is I think $7 for the day. I have a year pass which I think was $70. Head Northeast on the water and hit the main lake points leading to each of the creek channels. Most of them are rocky and border the deeper channels. It's pretty safe boating on big water until you start approaching Wolf Island as long as you follow the main river channel. Past the island as you approach the three larger creek channels to the far North it can be treacherous if you don't know where you're going so be safe out there. Also, it gets windier out there than on Lewisville and the waves get bigger, plus you pretty much have to drive on big open water to get to the main creek channels so be aware of that before you go. You should be able to get some on square bills and lipless cranks off the rocky points. In the creeks around timber probably still get bit on plastic swim baits like a Keitech Texas rigged or under spin swim head or spinner bait. If those are all slow you can always go to a jig or Texas rigged worms. The water is the same color as Lewisville, stained. No stripers in the lake but if you find a school of sandies you can catch em all day just bouncing a chartreuse slab. Good luck!

Matt said it!!! 40 Degrees is the magic number. 😋😂 Another great informative vid man. Tight lines.

Awesome video!!!! Thank you for doing them!

DAMN in school again. Thanks for all the great info, especially the grid part. I lost a couple this year by letting my tip down.

Exactly the information I was looking for. I appreciate you

I hear those jetski's have rod holders in Ca. lol. Hey congrats on saving a video in spite of the background issues. Even with my headphones on - the sound balance, bass, engine and other noises are all within reason - an accomplishment no doubt even if others dont realize it.... as usual everything sets the bar.

Great video . Also very inspiring. I'm fired up for winter bassin

Thank you for sharing these techniques!

You guys are the best in the game. Killing it 🤙

Great advice on not using a belly treble.

Destroyed my PB twice this year. 5.75 lbs on Powerbait Kingtail. Then 7.49 lbs on 3-inch paddletail swimbait. Upped my line, gear, and techniques due to this channel. Thanks.

I honestly like the jet sky in the background makes me feel like I’m there with you. Awesome video thanks for the tips.

Another TB video that I rewatch each year. Such fantastic information and Matt’s style completely captures your full attention. I have to laugh in this one, because several of his “client comments” are exactly what he has told me - several times. He is far and away the best bass angler I have ever fished with or even known. Well done, sir. Note: I get a special kick out of seeing Cazbar boat a big one! She gets extra style points!

legitimate bucket list wish to get out on a boat with you or both of you guys! cant count how many tips ive taken from you guys, whether its techniques i currently use or not. like this video, for example. i do not mess with big swimbaits because i do not have the gear for it. max i have been using is the 4.8 keitech swing impacts but i am very intrigued by big swimbait fishing. great vid as usual!

This guy is full of knowledge. Crazy informative.

I use a 966 mbr gloomis and and a Tranx 300 hg!! I love this combo

Really good video really appreciate it money can't buy experience 👍

Still gets me that you give away this information. I always make sure to like, and try to leave a comment to increase your views. Hopefully one day I can afford to have you guide a trip. That one on one instruction would be priceless.

Greetings Matt. I must say, & trust me when I tell you this (certain others will agree), you get right to it, no ridiculous vid of ya leaving your driveway, unloading your boat nonsense, etc. AND, you kept my attention because you're talking steady, ready, & good stuff! I never not FFWD with most vids, & didn't with you because you were spewing out paced good fishing chatter! SO thx! And you should consider fishing pro if you are not already. I am going to try now that I am retired & will use one of these lures to do so! Great job man!

I was a one trick pony 10min from the ramp until getting into channels like this. Thanks guys!

Phenomenal video. I’m not sure if I’ll ever catch a fish on one of these baits, but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I guess I’ll dig out my fury 795sb rod, s waver and trash fish and give it a shot.

Late to the party, but this is one the BEST TB videos. I am not a swimbait fisherman, but after watching, time to give it a try this spring.

Matt Ive always wonder have you gone back to the lake you caught your biggest bag limit with trev Gowdy and try to repeat or get a bigger bag limit would make a great story.

Great stuff as always, Matt! I'm looking at upgrading the swimbait selection at the shop in Ukiah.

Great video as always. I’ve been watching your videos for years now and decided to make a KZread account just to pay my dues and subscribe to your guys channel. Way long overdue. Very detailed video with lots of information. These are the type of videos I like to watch. The only thing I wish you would of touched on was what knot you use for your leader and how long of a leader do you use. I guess you can’t give away all the secrets. Lol

Great video. Thank you for the tips.

Outstanding video!

People don’t realize how much good information was just give🙌🏻 great video Matt I’m gonna use the 65-35 braid to leader

This is one of the best fishing videos I've seen it a good long while! Subbed! Cheers - Luther

Great advice, love FC 15,17 and drag ,im on the Rattle trap trip im fishing big ponds,i will try swimbaits ,i got a couple, thx

Once again a ton of great information Matt! I've never caught a true giant, but I have caught 7 seven 7 lbs Bass in a row at El Salto on them! Something I didn't hear you say, the that I do on those big fish is stick the rod in the water when you see the line coming to the suffice ! Is that something that you recommend?

Needed this one 👍 thanks dudes

Your winter and mine are not the same. Snowing bad here now and gonna be 15 tonite. Think I need to head to florida

Awesome video I need to step up my winter big bass fishing

There are no words for the gratitude I have for what you and Tim have taught me about bass fishing. THANK YOU!! One question. How long of a leader do u use when throwing big swim baits with say 8-10 ft. of water clarity?
