1, 2, 3, 4, twitch twitch. 2 days after my guided trip with you i caught a 9.37. My week trip to clearlake and fishing with you will always be my favorite fishing trip. I learned so much that day with you and has definitely made me a better angler. Thanks Matt!
@@tacticalbassin Did Ryan hit the nail on the head..with all this Covid madness a good laugh is just what I needed...and to Add..Matt ..."that was Awesome"...Tim.."no it wasn't". Thanks gents again for keeping us on the water!!
Love watching you guys fish. Helps me see what reel cadence and rod movements help get bites. Keep these "day on the water" videos coming I eat them up. Thank you again!
Come on, these guys are the best! For catches, information (even for novices like me) and quality. let's go to the 300k to thank them ;) Hello from Italy
Thanks Matt and Tim for all you have helped us with. New to big bait fishing due to you guys. So fun!!! Didn’t know how to add comments till now. North idaho fishin 🎣tactical fans.
Once again I would like to thank you for taking us fishing. If possible, it would be nice if the videos could be longer like the one you did last week. It helps take the edge off of a crazy situation in the world. Thanks again
Legitimately the best fishing channel on the world wide web. No one even comes close to the information you guys shell out at us. I gotta ask yet again tho -- how the heck can I get my hands on a TB Hat ?! Tim rocks that black and white one ! I want , how much fellas $$$$$?!!!
First comment finally !!! Hey Matt and tim I have learned sooooo much from when I started to follow you guys back in 2016 and I have caught well over hundreds of pounds of Bass because of the things you’ve thought me
TacticalBassin thanks guys it’s a pleasure !!! I’m committing to glide baits over these next 2-4 weeks up here in Connecticut water temps are in low 50’s so we’re prespawimg it still I can’t wait to give the arashi glide bait a try ! B
Another awesome vid guys! I've been getting right into the glide bait game the last few years and your videos have been a great tool for me! I'm still dealing with ice as of today but that double header at the end got me sooo hyped!!
I smashed them in 2 hours at my home lake on a 6 inch mag draft on 2 points and going back to fish my glides more!! Would have never throw bigger swimbait a if it wasn’t for this channel! 👊🏼🎣
Hey just wanted to say thanks for all the info, followed your advice on jigs, and not only did I start catching fish on them I've caught some big ones, a 5lb 9oz beast yesterday evening on a finesse football. Keep the vids coming guys, tight lines.
Tim if there’s was 1 person in the world I could go fishing with; it would be u! Feel like I could learn so much with all the diff techniques ur good at
Just used the s-waver 168 in rainbow trout for the first time ever yesterday. What a bait I can see why bass go nuts over it. I even like watching it swim threw the water. Didnt catch anything but i know I will hook up to a new pb.
I totally agree I think a lot of people are getting bites and just don’t know they are I think a lot of people are thinking like what you said they think it should be like the fish jerks the rod out of your hand not always the case.
This is kinda torturous since our lakes are all closed but hey I guess watching fishing is better than no fishing!! Also nice mental break from the craze 🤪
Boys,it's on here also, I've probably caught more then 50 bass last weekend on lipless crank bait,jerk bait and most on spinner baits.its definitely on here in Southwest Ohio 👍.it's like someone turned on the feeding switch.
Hey guys, sorry for this long post, but I hope this is a cool April 1st story. I just remembered this was the day in 1998 when I officially ended my Michigan residency and became an official resident of Illinois... and I made the big change to do some fishing.... That April 1st was also a Wednesday. I was in my second semester of law school here in Chicago and was smack in the middle of my Spring Break. The forecast was for sunny skies, a light breeze, and 70 degrees for the high temp. I made the decision; it's time to GO FISHING, and therefore become an Illinois citizen! I left my downtown apartment with all the fishing gear I had in Chicago at that time; a white spinnerbait, a bag of mint-green Powerbait ribbontail worms (no worm hooks), and a chrome & black 1/4 oz. Rattlin' Rapala lipless crankbait, and a spinning rod. I walked through "the Loop" to the State of Illinois Building (the Thompson Center) to get myself two things, an Illinois Driver's License and an in-state fishing license. With both new licenses in hand I walked straight to the Chicago lakefront. After only about an hour of fishing I caught a very nice coho salmon on the Rattlin' Rapala, and as it turns out it was right at the EXACT SPOT where the Illinois state record smallmouth bass was landed and later released this past October. About a half hour before I caught and released the coho some sort of massive trout, looked like a brown trout, chased the white spinnerbait. Quite satisfied, I returned home with a MASSIVE SUNBURN and an appreciation for Chicago's very urban waterfront.
You guys are killing it again. I read on BassBoatCentral that they're shutting the Delta down out there ? Is all fishing getting shut down in Ca ? Here in NJ the WMA's (Wildlife Management Areas) and ramps are open for now, but all facilities on site are closed. Anyhow, everyone be safe
Now rewatching this, it makes me remember the bite I've had on a waver 168. I thought I was going to have my bait get smashed but the bite I got was the slightest tap. Lighter than a worm bite. I so happen to swing on it and there was a fish. Hook sets are free
Matt and Tim .you guys are keeping my hopes up .I've been chomping at the bit as this is my time of the year when I do everything I can to get on the water here in North San diego to hunt big fish on our local lakes as I have been doing for over 20yrs.it just really sucks that all our lakes have shut down and has me so furious knowing that only a few hours away you guys are still fishing .I don't get it .isn't fishing social distancing .I mean shit .I always fish alone,,, it's a must when I'm sight fishing for big fish.i just hope they open up our lakes soon before I blow a fuse .I would love to go out with one of you guys and get a chance to Chuck some lures and catch some fish one of these days ..well mad props to you guys for being so steady on the information you gladly give .when I was younger it was always our secret to what was catching fish at that very moment ..glad you guys are willing to show people as hard as it may be .take care and fish on .
Throwing big glides in the early mornings going to a lake how do you dissect or figure out by looking at a map of the lake where the best possible shoreline is? Flats rocky overcast ?
I'm surprised that the Boat Ramps are still open for you guys. Most of the Country is on Social Distancing for COVID-19. Be Well & Safe Youall. THANK YOU for the Video Guys.
@@cazbarsaelao4663 OK! THANK YOU. I saw the Video previous to this one. TIM was fishing from the Bank, near some homes. Be Safe & Well. From Independence, Missouri. JACKSON County, in Quarantine for Essentials ONLY.
Can you guys recommend a better glide bait/Swimbait rod then the Dobyns Fury??? It just feels too heavy. Thinking about selling it to upgrade to a better quality stick. Thanks for the uploads. Helps us get through the "shelter in place". They finally closed all the lakes around my house in Central California. I hope the heat comes and drops the virus so we can get back out there
Nice. I'll be throwing glidebaits myself in 5 hours. After today we're sheltering in place of facing a fine for 11 days minimum. I'll be going to my pond I reckon.
Guys i had the same issue 2 days ago. I pulled out the same glide bait i was using but it had feathered treble hooks on it that i had made just for this test to see if it made a difference. No more boiling on the the bait, three hook ups in a row.
Matt and Tim, if I have a pond and I know it has huge bass in it what baits should I throw I’m guessing some kind of swimbait? Pennsylvania Water temp 50 Forage bluegill
Have you guys ever tried any irod swimbait series rods? I'm curious if they handle very well or not. It's probably the other budget friendly swimbait rod that is rated for pretty heavy baits
Love it guys, thank you as always for the information. I'm wondering if you could talk about the knots you are using for each bait? Not how to tie them, just the ones you usually tie for the baits you are throwing. Love the channel and look forward to each video. Thank you.
Thanks guys!! Feel good to see this when we're locked at home... Even here down under!... Quick question Matt, what happened to that last fish??? what was that "Oh no!!"??😁😁
The bite at the boat and the subtle bites are exactly why i prefer a light wire hook on my big baits. Seems to do a way better job of actually sticking the fish when they aren't massacring the bait.
You guys should look up some musky stuff! I see so many similarities between you guys fishing for these huge bass and fishing muskie in Wisconsin. Tim should have figure 8 that bass at the boat
Its soo hard to stick with throwing big baits. I fish maybe twice a month and I'll throw it for maybe a hr then need to switch cuz I need to catch something. One day I'll dedicate a whole day to doing it. What size line r u guys using? Top shot? Thanks
In one of the early scenes Tim was throwing a setup with a dc reel on it. Which one was it, and is there a weight of lure that you guys tend to shy away from the dc reels?
What size st56 are you going with on the swaver 200 and the baitsanity ? Thanks you guys are responsible for my new swimbait addiction , and my wife thinks I'm crazy cause I just sit for hours looking at my new collection . Love the channel and Thank you for your no b.s. information .
Have you guys ever tried decoy quads for your cover glides? Do you think they would make a difference in this scenario? Also I noticed that Matt you had almost a signature cadence with a double reel chop and double pop of the rod which you stayed with throughout the morning. Did you retrieve that way bc of the baitfish you were trying to mimic and the visibility? In either case I want to practice that cadence and see if my fish in MI will eat it like that here in the next few weeks 😛 Also switched over to braid to leader for this swimbait season! I went with Courtland MasterBraid 80lb and I am very impressed with that braid! You guys should give it a try!
Went fishin in 30 degrees tues mornin not a fisherman in sight or a fish kinda like having the lake to myself but skunked as usual. Chicago forest preserve fishin is always a daunting task.
Matt, what handle is that you have on your reel, that single one? I am just getting into swimbait fishing here in central Florida. I was skeptical at first because most of the shad I see are small, and the bass are always eating those small shad. But today I tossed a 6 inch trash fish and landed a 6+ pounder, and my dad used the S-Waiver and had bass hitting it all evening (nothing big yet, but i'm sure they'll come to it) and a nice florida pike.

Thanks Matt and Tim for all you have helped us with. New to big bait fishing due to you guys. So fun!!! Didn’t know how to add comments till now. North idaho fishin 🎣tactical fans.
Awesome day guys! Good tips on leaving the spot once the sun comes out and the bait fish move out.
Once again I would like to thank you for taking us fishing. If possible, it would be nice if the videos could be longer like the one you did last week. It helps take the edge off of a crazy situation in the world. Thanks again
Hey guys appreciate the daily uploads lately. In these weird times were in it’s nice to see someone fishing.
You guys are the real deal. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. This channel doesn't get the respect it deserves.
That sunrise was so beautiful. Nothing better then being on the lake when the sun peaks over those trees.
There is no better team
Then Matt & Tim👍
You guys are so educational for fishing, I'm falling in love with this channel
Legitimately the best fishing channel on the world wide web. No one even comes close to the information you guys shell out at us. I gotta ask yet again tho -- how the heck can I get my hands on a TB Hat ?! Tim rocks that black and white one ! I want , how much fellas $$$$$?!!!
The suspense at the end!!!! Killing me
I was glad to see Tim get on a few finally toward the end there.
Great job explaining the small tick for a bigger fish!

Headed to Clear Lake on April 2nd. had to come back to that time of year for a refresher. Never been there hoping to get my new PB on my Birthday.
I totally agree I think a lot of people are getting bites and just don’t know they are I think a lot of people are thinking like what you said they think it should be like the fish jerks the rod out of your hand not always the case.
Never even heard of the Pete until I just saw yall use it. Definitely picking a couple up now!
This is kinda torturous since our lakes are all closed but hey I guess watching fishing is better than no fishing!! Also nice mental break from the craze 🤪
Love this channel ! Gained a subscriber ! Been watching yiur videos all day fellas. Thanks ;]
Really enjoyed that video fellas, thank you!
Great Video Matt & Tim!!!!
Nice catch 👍🏼🎣 greetings from Germany🇩🇪 Stay safe😷...
Loved all the detail about location, conditions, strategy, etc.
If Matt and Tim wrote a book on bass fishing I would buy it in a heart beat

Cazbar Saelao is the whole lake closed for fishing ?
@@_Simpaii yes even bank fishing and kayaking is closed!

Helps us get through the "shelter in place". They finally closed all the lakes around my house in Central California. I hope the heat comes and drops the virus so we can get back out there
Do you think that topography works in the delta for stripers? Up on the shoals with a glide in the pre sun darkness?
Did you guys catch up with oliver ngy from big bass dreams? He was on clear lake for 4 days.
AWESOME VIDEO. What gear ratio are you using. Thanks ???
Do you fish braid to fluorocarbon, or just straight fluorocarbon? Keep in mind I'm bank fishing these 5-7" baits
I'm curious to know what's up with the braided line? I figured you would be throwing straight fluro with glide baits.
Nice. I'll be throwing glidebaits myself in 5 hours. After today we're sheltering in place of facing a fine for 11 days minimum. I'll be going to my pond I reckon.
Enjoyed this one. Thanks 👍
It's nice of Matt to lend a rod to Tim!😝
I thought clearlake closed a few weeks back? Is the lake still open.
Guys i had the same issue 2 days ago. I pulled out the same glide bait i was using but it had feathered treble hooks on it that i had made just for this test to see if it made a difference. No more boiling on the the bait, three hook ups in a row.
And no swimming for Tim this time. Excellent!!!!
the fluorocarbon line how many ft over braided line the you use ?
Fakhruddin Rahimi they made a video about it but I think they make the FC leader as long as possible and spool it some into their reel
How yuh ou still fishing. They closed clear lake like the rest right?
Yes this was right before it closed
Matt and Tim, if I have a pond and I know it has huge bass in it what baits should I throw I’m guessing some kind of swimbait?
Pennsylvania
Water temp 50
Forage bluegill

Do you guys by any chance ever fish any of the rivers here In central and northern California that would be cool to see
Do they still have your lakes open? They closed ours I'm also in California.
I believe it's closed to tourists or out of town folks
I am just getting into this technique and cant wait to do some of my own videos for my channel
The bite at the boat and the subtle bites are exactly why i prefer a light wire hook on my big baits. Seems to do a way better job of actually sticking the fish when they aren't massacring the bait.
You guys should look up some musky stuff! I see so many similarities between you guys fishing for these huge bass and fishing muskie in Wisconsin. Tim should have figure 8 that bass at the boat
In the description it says both of you used the Tranx 300HG but Tims didn’t have the power handle?

Awesome video did not realize you need to work them that slow
I noticed a pretty long leader on Matt’s setup maybe 11-12 foot. Could you do a video about leaders and length for big baits? Great video as always
What size st56 are you going with on the
swaver 200 and the baitsanity ? Thanks you guys are responsible for my new swimbait addiction , and my wife thinks I'm crazy cause I just sit for hours looking at my new collection . Love the channel and Thank you for your no b.s. information .
A buzzbait was the key for me this weekend out here in the central valley. Big girls killing the buzz.
When will clear lake open back up?
Have you guys ever tried decoy quads for your cover glides? Do you think they would make a difference in this scenario? Also I noticed that Matt you had almost a signature cadence with a double reel chop and double pop of the rod which you stayed with throughout the morning. Did you retrieve that way bc of the baitfish you were trying to mimic and the visibility?

I went with Courtland MasterBraid 80lb and I am very impressed with that braid! You guys should give it a try!
I heard all the ramps were closed ?
The bite was fire! Awesome
Another awesome video
How long of a leader do you guys usually run when fishing those baits?
Is the lake still open
Boat flippin' continues :-)
I need one video like this a week
Went fishin in 30 degrees tues mornin not a fisherman in sight or a fish kinda like having the lake to myself but skunked as usual. Chicago forest preserve fishin is always a daunting task.
But on the plus side at least Cook County Forest Preserve waters are still open. Did you get the water temperature this morning?
@@michaelfischerbassmaster no sir but it was really cold when I felt it I'm guessing around 40
Do you put a split ring on the nose of your S-Wavers or just tie directly to the bait?
Matt or Tim, what’s the length of your fluoro leader and which connection knot are you using?
Are we not going to talk about the coat, pants and flip flops??!?? Sick vid
Matt, what handle is that you have on your reel, that single one? I am just getting into swimbait fishing here in central Florida. I was skeptical at first because most of the shad I see are small, and the bass are always eating those small shad. But today I tossed a 6 inch trash fish and landed a 6+ pounder, and my dad used the S-Waiver and had bass hitting it all evening (nothing big yet, but i'm sure they'll come to it) and a nice florida pike. The swimbait/glidebait fishing works!
Big bass specialist!!!
