I seriously wish I could make an album of all the Big's they've helped me catch the past few years. TB is the Bass Fisherman's Bible

So I caught a shad spawn on Bull Shoals a couple weeks ago. I really thought a spinner bait would work, but they didnt want it. A lipless was the business for me during that spawn, and I blistered them!

They go in my livewell a little more often thanks to you guys! haha

​​@@richardbossman9875 Slot limits help fisheries and produce bigger bass. The catch and release craze has hurt fishing. It's okay to keep some bass, and it produces bigger bass.

Ah yes, the Bass Fisherman's Gospel. Can't give you two enough credit for all the fish I've caught because of y'all!

One bait I love this time of year is a black zoom lizard with a blue tail, Texas rig, Carolina rig, wobble head pretty much anywhere you like to fish plastics

I needed this video thank you this is my first year really bass fishing and your videos help out so much. I was so lost on was they would follow but not eat but now I know they needed about 2 weeks

The video when being sped back or forth is one of the hardest most intense dance you’ve ever seen.

They go hiding from me. Not just post spawn but year round😅😂

One big difference between Matt and Tim, if Matt sees a fish blow up while recording, hell mention it and keep on talking. If Tim sees that, he's gonna make a cast at that thing!!! Thanks for another great, informative video. You guys are the best!!! 💪🏾👍🏾🤌🏾🎣

Gotta night fish the shad spawn. If you’re on the bank look for shallow water with sand and small gravel banks, bring lights with you and set them next to bank…don’t move them. Just wait for midnight and they’ll start boiling. It’s also the best way to cast net shad for catfish bait

You guys are the best. Thanks for covering all of these types of lakes.

I appreciate your channel. Thank you for the in depth information!

Love it, can’t wait to apply to my next videos

They go in the fryer after because they are easier to catch for me. Them 2lb and under taste gooooooood

Caught a 6lber last month bc of your videos. Changed my trailer from a rage crawl to paddle tail on a jig.

Just ordered 5 of the tactical underspins from Tackle Warehouse and can't wait to try them out.

This might be my favorite video

Guy, not blowing smoke, you have taught me as Doug Hannon did!

The post spawn fish are very difficult to catch at my shoreline only fishing ponds….If most of the bass, as you say, go out to the deeper areas of the lake after the spawn, that explains why everyone at my local pond has an extremely difficult time catching bass during late April thru May….we just can’t reach the fish that are more than 250 ft offshore….but once the weed starts to grow and reaches the surface in areas around the lake, the topwater bite picks up and the bass start to get within reach again for our shoreline only fishing spots.

Since you’re in Tennessee, have y’all fished Watauga Lake yet? Would love to see that video.

Love the videos. Watch almost every one. What type of lake is my local lake? Lake Wylie SC/NC

Hey guys! I found you on Rumble but not under Tacticalbassin. I would use the same channel name if possible. I think it would ad to the viewers and help create a stronger base and new revenue stream. Keep up the great work!

Here in DFW we got Bois D’Arc that just opened a few weeks ago, it’s been a slug fest on those fish! Went out there on Saturday on the kayak and hammered them almost nonstop the whole time!

Dedicated videos!!

I've been eager to re-engage with bass fishing and deepen my understanding beyond basic techniques like using a plastic worm with splitshot. In my pursuit, I've been exploring budget-friendly gear options and have developed an appreciation for the technology and value associated with higher-priced equipment. Currently, I'm considering investing in the Aird X Medium Heavy Fast Action rod, measuring 7'3" in length, which is designed to accommodate lure weights ranging from 1/4 to 1 ounce. However, I find myself unfamiliar with selecting the appropriate braided line for this setup as I have traditionally used mono on all my reels. I am interested in transitioning to braided line and seek guidance on the suitable weight for an all-purpose rod. Additionally, I'm curious about the necessity of switching between different types of leaders when changing lures on the water. I understand that this rod combination is versatile, suitable for various techniques including Texas rigging, jigging, topwater lures, buzzbaits, frogging, and even medium-sized swimbaits. I appreciate the valuable content you produce and encourage you to continue your excellent work.

What kind of rod action do u like fishing a wobble head . Is a somewhat stout football jig bottom contact rod to stiff?

I used to use the Slider head on Table Rock years ago doing similar to this Hover Rig your talking about. I can only assume it is a line twisting nightmare like the Slider Head is. Any tips on countering this side affect?

I know this is probably a loaded question and one that you've answered numerous times, but what 2 or 3 rods would you tell a weekend fisherman to own if they wanted to be able to throw the most variety of baits and lures?

What about if your lake doesn't have main lake ledges, long points, or anything off shore? Wilson lake on the tva. Basically a bowl

Hey man I’ve just got back into fishing after a long while. Recently moved to a great place for bass and walleye fishing in a river. Would you be able to make a video on river fishing? Specifically high current areas? Trying my best to figure out a good rod/reel setup and a good lures to use thanks.

Hey Swifty I know what it’s like trying to learn a new body of water, and if you’ve never fished a river much than even worse on just a normal spring to summer day my normal arsanel is s bout three baits, a Tube, swim jig or a small to med swim bait, target wood boulder or any current disturbance wether it be from a rock a log or the down river side of a sharp bend good luck hope you catch ‘em…

Just pickup a nice bluegill swim jig, some minnow swim baits and some senkos and im going out this weekend wish me luck!

Lake Hartwell was ruff last week we had to drag Carolina rigs off shore for spotted bass

Prove it to us. I want to see it while catching them. Especially those giants you catch!

I've been using a shad colored spinnerbait and pulling in a bunch of bass for the last couple weeks. However now it seems that bite has stopped. Any other baits I can go to as it seems they are now used to seeing spinnerbait.

i noticed you are using Apex units are they worth the money over the Solix i am going to buy a new boat and i want to put the right stuff on it. so let me know what you like and don't like about your electronics.

Don't forget strip mine lakes, in Illinois we have a lot of em.

Can you talk more about natural lakes in the future

Matt’ you must assume that some bass identifies as hard cover and the others as deep water, and raise the flag on your boat they will come at you, easy !

Matt, why on earth would a shakeyhead not blister fish when they are eating a Neko rigged Zoom Trick Worm? I have a place I fish that they drill the Neko rigged, Black, Zoom Trick worm. But I have tried numerous times to switch to a Shakeyhead to preserve worms as they dont get torn up as fast on a SH, but the bite slows dramatically ever time Ive done that. I don't understand why?

Play Red fish and earlier today and I used a shadow beat and I caught a rock bass this year

I saw water 55-63 this weekend here but the fish are still closer to winter spots than spawn. Idk what's going on this year

Just starting in Colorado ! On beds yesterday

I’ve never asked this but my home water may apply to this, what if my home water has no depth greater than like 8 ft. Do the bass still divide or will they all act like all shallow fish or will some sit on the bottom in the deepest water while the rest get in cover?

@tagg946

from my experience fishing shallow ponds and whatnot around indiana, most of those fish position the same way they would any other time of the year unless its just dead cold, then theyll just sit at the bottom with their bellies in the mud if they cant go anywhere else. ive caught tons of fish off small rock piles, trees, and riprap in 2-6 feet of water in the heart of winter.

Lest go first

How are we supposed to target those fish hugged oup on rocks if we cant see them with livescope and we have a scrolling sonat like a regular Garmin,

We've always just fished for them. Remember, we've been doing this for decades, and live is new. It only takes a few casts to identify if active fish are in an area.

come to Big paw paw lake MI ,it breaks all the rules, put your skills to the test

Yes, keep fishing those spinners,chatters, swimjigs, walkers, jigs and texas rigs. Leave the swimbaits and wake baits for me! =)

Hey comment friends, I need help! I am new to freshwater fishing and I have been pond fishing in my neighborhood a ton lately. Yesterday, I caught pretty good size large mouth bass in a smaller pond, about 3.5lbs on a chatterbait. When I got him to the bank, the line broke at the lure and he went back into the water with the 1/4oz chatterbait hanging in its mouth. Is there any chance I will be able to catch him again at some point to get it out of his mouth, or will he eventually just die? It’s making me sick to think about. Thanks guys
