@@DefOfDopeProductions I like the fight more than largemouths to be honest. They remind me of trout too! Just caught my PB largemouth on a top water rubber frog today! 19” 3.52lbs.
I found more success with leaving the worm hooks embedded into the worm so I don't end up getting as snagged as often. I will bend the hook point slightly upwards. Pegged weight if dragging through heavy woody cover; unpegged if dragging through grass or open waters; weightless if dragging across fractured, angular rocks that snag weights and jigs.
Sup Tyler. Great video. As said before had 2 packs of big worms, didn't realize were 10" . used them yesterday because of previous video, and nothing else worked. I cought a lot of bass, most were not much bigger than worm lol. But got a 4.7lb bass made my year. I pegged weight because weight kept getting in weeds, almost gave up. You helped me so much.

I fish a lot of shallow grassy lakes and I have found that fishing a big worm weightless is very effective, especially for mucky bottomed and ponds and lakes.
Fishing the worm weightless allows it to very slowly sink. By occasionally lifting up your rod tip or giving it a small hop easily keeps the worm off the mucky bottom. If you use a weight then that will allow the worm to drag along the bottom and collect a lot of junk.
@@rickjorstad6666 i fish the same way here in florida but i use a 1/16 ounce bullet weight. Basically weightless but it allows for longer casting and less bird nest
My favorite top water lure is the Zara Spook, chrome/ black back. I've landed nice bass on a Culprit 7.5 inch ribbon tail, black & Venom's 7 inch Junebug texas rigged...no pegging.
Yeah , I agree now . My brother used an ole monster and I stuck to the 6" u tail . I got my butt handed to me ! He got 10 fish to my 2 ! I'm a believer !
Just got back from around Houston, where I stayed had a couple ponds , and a creek out behind them. I ended up fishing the creek. Caught a 5.1 beautiful bass with the Ole whopper plopper 90.
Newer boater/offshore fisherman here so may be a dumb question, when fishing a ledge to you drag the worm down the ledge or up the ledge? Thank you for your time, it’s greatly appreciated
Went to a new pond today and I used what you said months ago using a jig walking around to find fish. I normally use a worm but decided to take your advice. I caught 4 bass about 2 lbs shore fishing. Thank you for the videos
Hey Tyler, I haven't fished plastics in the 10 - 12 inch range before but am willing to give it a try. As always thanks for the tutorial and suggestions.
Just keep in mind that big baits=big fish but bites are FAR AND FEW. Also reel in very slow and pause for long times. Should look like a nightcrawler moving along in cold water.
I fish shallow ponds often, and was curious to know if I should peg my weight or not. I use an 1/8th oz. weight unpegged currently... gonna try it next time pegged. Thanks for the info bro! 🤙
The last 1 v 1 video between you two who caught the bigger bass again....?? You both put out great vids lovw the trash talk and competition keep it coming.
Great video my friend I really enjoy watching you what is very informative flip your comments in the past the Big Worm we used to fish them a lot been tournaments at Lake Monticello in South Carolina and we would the big worms at night and people would always rag on me about me setting the hook so hard but usually by the end of the night they were setting the hook hard as well one thing that I do differently than what you just spoke of is I always like to use a light wire hook I honestly can't tell you any fish that I've ever lost or whatever I've never had a hook break on me put it that way I have had some Bend out but not on a fish and I think it gives the worm a better action as it is falling having a lighter wire hook. But anyway I wish you would just send these videos to me it's really hard knowing that they're thousands of other fishermen out there watching and getting the same information if you ever make it to Texas my friend let me know I'll be happy to put you on a few
I love your videos! Does using snap swivels affect Texas rigs? Bass just opened near me in Ontario so I'm trying to learn to get better at bass fishing this season and your vids have helped with that.
Best videos on TH-cam. I like that you are in Ohio too because I’m in northern Indiana and it makes me feel a little more confident with your advice vs. southern states guys
I've been ripping lips with the culprit 10 " red shad. Killer bait. 👍and I'm getting tired of hearing you guys are making mistakes how do you know that you don't
Do I got grass on my lake? 90% of my lake is filled to the top u maybe get 2-4 inches of water with no weeds 🤣🤣🤣🤣but the muskie and bass fishing is crazy caught a 40” muskie last weekend and a 5 pound largie
I LOVE your videos but some baits/lures you talk about dont work here in Canada! Please please please make a video on East Canada/ St Lawrence :D thank you
It is a novel technique and makes for a video. I have really tried big worms and my rate is terrible with it. I do catch bass, but they aren't even bigger than I get with 4" worms. Regional videos like you suggested would be a fantastic way to make novel videos.
Offset gives a better hookup ratio since the point isn’t directly in line with the eye like an EWG. EWG is good for thicker baits, but use an offset whenever you can.
Just learning to fish at 50. I yanked my first small mouth last weekend. Great vids. All the lure info I need.
Hooked up into a smallmouth for the first time yesterday! Man they fight hard.

I have similar ponds and lakes where I live. How do you cope with not getting the worm all mucked and slimed up ?

@@BigDirtDawg is 1/16 the smallest weight next to Goin weightless?
You can put a split shot on the line, little ones that you pinch on, though idk what you’re fishing on, it would be a pain on a baitcaster

I was getting skunked last night with missile d-bomb, found an extra zoom ol monster in my bag and through it, got lit up by like 3 big bass in a row.

Try the 6th Sense Ridge Worm 🪱 I’ve been cracking them.
Yep
Watched several of your videos recently and all really well articulated. Subbed!

It's true I caught a half pound largemouth with a 10" worm. It just sucked the whole worm in.
Thanks for the tips, keep em coming!
👍🏻🇺🇸🎣
Love fishing a big worm!
Loved the video! Why do you think your hook up ratio is higher with a offset worm hook vs and EWG?
I fish shallow ponds often, and was curious to know if I should peg my weight or not. I use an 1/8th oz. weight unpegged currently... gonna try it next time pegged. Thanks for the info bro! 🤙
I love the ol’ monster!!
We love us a big worm
I hear T Berg is the 12" bass king

lol
best soft plastic on the market
Hey man just want to say love the vids you have help me so much in my bass journey
Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate that
Always great content!

When you gonna have a contest so a subscriber can come fish with you for a day.
Would be all some! I would love to go catch some giants with him.
Great video Ty..Were you on Mosquito Creek when you filmed it...Fished there for the first time in May.

Great video.
What is your favorite hook style and size??? Is a 5/0 EWG too big???
Have you ever fished Caesar Creek lake in waynesville Ohio? If so, what’s your thoughts and opinions?
I LOVE your videos but some baits/lures you talk about dont work here in Canada! Please please please make a video on East Canada/ St Lawrence :D thank you
Swim baits. Find the fish first

What would be a good all around weight size and when would be a good time to use a weightless t rig
When fishing brush piles with a worm, do you have to see some fish in or around the beush pile on your graph before fishing it?
Tyler,
Can you put a big worm on a wobble head? I have a 8” magnum speed worm, where would you throw that?
hey tyler, what knot do you like to use on a worm/texas rig in general?
🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I have very good luck with the big worm
Man I just accidentally ordered them exact big ass worms, I was like yeah I’m not ordering worms online anymore 😂
Did you try ‘em
What would you use our resinous has a soft current running through it
Tyler can i fish it weightless in grass?
Another great video with great info. Thanks for sharing 🎣
epic
Thanks for watching
@@BassFishingHQ my benefit 😁
Nice video!Thank you!I have a question:Can i put a glass bead between the weight and hook???Thank's
Of course! The fishing police aren't going to arrest you.
I live in ohio let's go fishing!
Why offset hook instead of ewg ? Thank you
Offset gives a better hookup ratio since the point isn’t directly in line with the eye like an EWG.
EWG is good for thicker baits, but use an offset whenever you can.
So you mean to tell me, you used a zoom ol monster in Ohio (not alum) and did well on it?
I kill it at portage lakes on a 10 inch zoom ole monster.
The big worm is where it's at in Ohio.
aight so 12" is better
Is it just me, or are others running to a tackle site and spending more 💵💵🤑
Free Rigging a Big Worm = $$
