I still don’t understand how you don’t have a network television show, Matt. Get your publicist on that!! You’re a natural teacher and I learn more from you than any other resource. Keep up the great work!!
I really like videos like this where you’re actually fishing while providing insight into what you’re thinking while breaking down the water, weather, time of year etc. Although it might not apply to everyone, it generally applies to a lot of us and at least for me I learn best by seeing what to do better than just listening to what to do.
MATT! Took this knowledge and other tactics you and Tim have taught right to the pond yesterday, fish all day, nothing under 1.5 and I landed my PB of 4.13. You’ve changed the game for me all together. Thank you, and keep it up man 🤙
I have totally revamped how I have been fishing! These video's are truly amazing. I am 59 years old. My father's way of fishing still works for me. But I have up graded my rod' s and reel' s. My fishing knots and switched from mono to braided lines on my reel' s. I bank fish alot in Industrial ponds and lakes around me. Fishing Frog's, Senkos and Jigs. My still go to lures are spinner baits and watermelon salamander Carolina rigs and chrome and black 3/4 oz rattle trap. I have caught more fish this year than alot of previous years. My friend just started fishing again after 16 years of not fishing. I have enjoyed catching my own. But, I really have liked watched him. Catching Big Bass! He seems like a whole new person. He has really taken to the Senkos and top water frog fishing. Thanks, For your video's. Love watching them alot! SHAWN
After watching a few of your older episodes on Senkos, I started giving them a real go. I've got a four year old, and rarely get more than a few minutes here and there on some office park ponds near home. Those lakes get so much pressure, just coming along with something rigged or presented in a different way has done the trick. Where I was lucky to get a few dinks here and there, concentrating on the slow, methodical Senko got me a four and a five pounder, and numerous twos and threes, just in the past few days. This is the best show out there! Thanks for all you do!
Tried a wacky rigged senko for the first time in a heavily pressured small body of water and absolutely the best afternoon of fishing there in several years. the last few weeks have thrown everything except a fit and nada, second cast of a black and red wacky senko, bam fish in the boat, then a fish every ten minutes after that! You guys ROCK !
I have learned so much from watching your channel! I grew up jigging and fly fishing, but never really got into straight bass fishing. Thank you for taking the time to make these for those us wanting to learn!
Another timely relevant vid👍 Lost a net to a lake bottom last year, popped the end caps off my new net, sprayed great stuff foam in the handle and netframe, replaced caps- floating net now👌
Hey Matt and Tim do you think you can do a summer guide for the guys like me who don't have sonar and mostly fish from the shore and small water craft thanks much appreciated 👍🏼
Hey Matt, I just wanted to thank you for all the videos you upload. I learn so much from you and Tim and really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into your videos. Keep it up!
I've been subscribed to yall for a while. I feel that I learn more from you guys Matt & Tim than any other channel on TH-cam! I have confidence now that I'm gonna catch fish when I go and it's because I have learned so much from watching you guys! Thank you very much....
I just drove around the lake today going up to OR from Santa Rosa. I was hoping to stop and fish a little on the way through, but didn't see a lot of opportune spots from the land that weren't already being fished. Definitely envious of your boat now more than ever, lol! Thanks for all of the badass info!
I love that the same 4 guys take the time to dislike your videos. Still have to view it! Great work as always Matt, even if I don't learn anything its always a joy to watch!
Great video! Started throwing that Kaera frog last year, it has since become my go to. Hooks up well and I love the smaller profile, you can just barely twitch it and it will almost walk in-place...
Looks like 4 people haven't had their coffee yet this morning. But anyway, I'm sure the ChampioN had no issue cutting through that choppy water Matt. Great video. That you again for what you, Tim and your family's do for us. Safe travels and may God continue to bless all of you.
You guys are awesome with frog advice. Got a few you recommended and I've caught multiple size bass in the pond near me. Beginner with all fishing and it's really hooked me for life
Tim is a police officer he might guide on the side Matt guides year round he is always always booked lol hard to get a spot it's a little bit of a wait lol
@@poststalone1496 yeah I would pay I am not at all rolling in money but I love fishing and both Matt and Tim definitely know what it takes to land some Giants.
Line watching is great. Nothing like seeing the bait hit bottom by watching line and then seeing it move and there's no mistake it's a fish. My favorite is when the suns out and when the line tightens up you see all the little Glissen and shimmer from the water and line move. No mistaking that bite.
I love this channel and have watched a ton of your videos. You have put all these videos together quite nicely and I have learned a lot. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Switching to a bigger worm or senko after you get bite a couple times is genius.... Figure out what they are hitting first and then size it up with the same worm or senko to go for the bigger ones. That's never clicked for me till just now. Very good advice
I've been slaying on frogs in Northern Cali. Bank fishing has netted me anywhere from 9-15 fish per day, few over 3 and close to 4. Downsizing my frog has done wonders for the bass being able to eat it in the tight cover.
I love the "81 degrees, water that warm" part. The water temp yesterday here in South Florida was reading 92.5, can't wait till it gets cold... 88 or so.
Oh and the salsa order (senkos) goes green is mild brown is medium and red is hot. Ya threw me off with the preview photo lol. Keep em going. Great stuff.
Barely catching up on the videos keep them going. At 1:40 you literally killed me and my secret color the past 22 years. Ughh have to make another secret change now. Tight lines 👍🏼
This is the first time I've seen the kaera frog shown on any youtuber's video. The secret is getting out. Not many use it here on guntersville, based on the fact that hardly nowhere sells them and the one place that does always has them. You're gonna love that frog! Hookup ratio it incredibly higher. I think the smaller profile ensures they eat it and I feel I get more bites. Try the "Black Gill" color and "red frog". They're beasts!
Also. Pro tip! In my experience, the weight in the frog comes out a little easier than it should. I always throw some super glue down there as soon as I take it out of the pack. And, whenever your frog's nose starts tearing after a bunch of fish, steal that butt weight for when one falls out of another one.
Nice vid. Good info as always. I’ve gone exclusively to 5/0 EWG for Texas rigging now. I find bass are much less likely to get gut hooked. Too big to swallow in general.
Not sure if it matters but if you get another Frabil net and the handle is hollow with like a cap on the end that pops out. Take some pool noodle and cut it into strips and shove it up inside the handle that way if your net falls in you can go back and get it cause it will be floating. Did that with my net I use on the kayak and it has saved me loosing it a few times. If the handle is solid you can also take a piece of pool noodle and slide it over the handle and up high out of the way of where you hold it. It doesn’t look as cool for sure but I hate loosing stuff over board lol.
Love the videos, I only fish casually but when I fish I'm on my race paddle board. Obviously not ideal. But my question is what baits/lures would be good for a drifting board, with often moving tide water. I'm mostly in the Hudson River 1hr. north of NY city. Pretty murky water. But I do also get into some more clear water. Mostly stripe bass, small blue fish, perch, sunnys, lg and sm mouth bass, we even have sturgeon! I've only ever seen them from far away. Hope not to catch one of those from the 24" wide board :) I have lots of gear just don't know how to apply what I have really. Thanks
i started on grn ppk trickworm.i use custom stickbaits cash custom lures. blue craw, junebug are the main colirs i use. i do more on watermellon candy and grn ppk cdy.i use jackall candy ppm wtml cdy flick shake worms..its finesse worm but gets bug fish same as senko only its siper light cant cast it as far
Hey Matt, thanks for the thorough videos! I’m in the process of stepping up my fishing game and your videos are a huge help. The one thing I didn’t hear you mention was barometric pressure. I’m paying close attention this summer to barometric pressure and incorporating it into my technique. I’m wondering how much attention you give it and how it affects when you guys fish. Thanks!
What was that on your line on the frog rod you moved it up your line a couple of times after you took the bass off it kind of looked like a spilt shot in if so why love your videos helps me out a lot keep up the great work in GOD BLESS
Matt y’all should come out here to Alabama to Lake Weiss. If you’ve never heard of it look it up. 😁👍🏼 It’s called the Capital of Crappie and Bass Fishing. 👍🏼
What are your thoughts on putting dry fly floatant on your braid to aid in line watching? It helps me some. Also, have you tried Loon knot-sense in your braid to flouro connection?
Hey Mat: Another great video as always? With Icast coming up soon is there any gear your exited to see. PS I’ve head some say there really isn’t anything new under the sun when it comes to baits just slight variations on what’s already out there? Thanks...🎣😎🐝
I really need to learn how to walk the dog with a frog better. i’m just horrible at it. but then again, i’m also horrible at actually sticking & catching frog fish. I literally just caught my first frog fish like two weeks ago and it was awesome. I want to do more of it. lol.
I only have one rod it’s a 7”2 medium heavy I mostly fish senkos and want to get into froggin can I use a snap swivel to change between both? I use 30 lb braid
What model of trolling motor are you running? I'm going to be in the market this winter. I have a motorguide xi3 now. It has a cordless foot pedal and I don't care much for it. I was wondering how the foot pedal is on that trolling motor. I'm used to using a cable steering system.
I still don’t understand how you don’t have a network television show, Matt.
Get your publicist on that!!

How should I fish this senko?
Matt Allen: YES
MATT! Took this knowledge and other tactics you and Tim have taught right to the pond yesterday, fish all day, nothing under 1.5 and I landed my PB of 4.13. You’ve changed the game for me all together. Thank you, and keep it up man 🤙
Caught my pb yesterday with their help. More knowledge than I’ll ever have😂

Weightless senko and frogs are my 2 favorite ways to fish in the summer. Loved the video!
Why weightless in summer?
Thank you so much for everything Matt and Tim! One of my dream is to go on guide with you guys and catch a Gaint PB. Truly my #1 TH-cam channel!
You guys are the Harvard of bass fishing! Thanks for everything you’ve taught me and my son.
I love the "welcome back to tactical "Byassin"🤘🔥😂
I have learned so much from watching your channel! I grew up jigging and fly fishing, but never really got into straight bass fishing.
Thank you for taking the time to make these for those us wanting to learn!
Exactly what I needed after going through the Mike Long article and video....time to get that bass knowledge up!
Last I heard, he said, "The bass got in the way dude...in the way of my treble hook."
Another timely relevant vid👍 Lost a net to a lake bottom last year, popped the end caps off my new net, sprayed great stuff foam in the handle and netframe, replaced caps- floating net now👌
Hey Matt and Tim do you think you can do a summer guide for the guys like me who don't have sonar and mostly fish from the shore and small water craft thanks much appreciated 👍🏼
Throw a bit of pool noodle on your net handle and it’ll never sink. Thanks for the video, great stuff.

You guys are the best on TH-cam.
Thanks a lot, these videos have helped me. Practical, informative, entertaining.
I would love to go fish with Matt and Tim. It would be like big bass school for me between fishing and watching and learning how they do it.
Justin Shedaker they’re guides for clear lake. It’s pricey but I bet it’s completely worth it.
Tim is a police officer he might guide on the side Matt guides year round he is always always booked lol hard to get a spot it's a little bit of a wait lol
@@poststalone1496 yeah I would pay I am not at all rolling in money but I love fishing and both Matt and Tim definitely know what it takes to land some Giants.

Most knowledgeable fishing youtubers hands down 👍🏼
I know I'm late on the comments but I love when you guys do "on the water" classes. It helps me get the whole picture
I love this channel and have watched a ton of your videos. You have put all these videos together quite nicely and I have learned a lot. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Dude love the format of these new videos. Feels like we're on a tour with ya'll (dream of mine lol). Keep doing what you're doing!
Nice Video! Just caught my PB on the delta on a screw locked 6" stickbait in junebug.
Beautiful Fishery this place is amazing has beautiful fish Congratulations!
*Hug!!!* 👍🎣🐟😊
Stay with God!

Thanks for the new frog option, I love the gavacho so much. I was throwing frogs and pitchin senkos over the weekend, caught some fish, life is good.
I love the "81 degrees, water that warm" part. The water temp yesterday here in South Florida was reading 92.5, can't wait till it gets cold... 88 or so.
What a perfect video! Ive been throwing the frog while my wife fishes Senko! Been smacking them at Ceago every morning!
My wifey's favorite area we live in Upper Lake
Imagine your home lake being clear lake so you always have the best up to date tips with tactical bassin.. that’d be sweet
Oh and the salsa order (senkos) goes green is mild brown is medium and red is hot. Ya threw me off with the preview photo lol. Keep em going. Great stuff.
Green pumpkin and red is my go to most of the time
Barely catching up on the videos keep them going. At 1:40 you literally killed me and my secret color the past 22 years. Ughh have to make another secret change now. Tight lines 👍🏼
Out off all the fishing channels on yt how do u not have the most subs keep up the good work man
I watch one of your videos right before I go fishing. Then, surprise, I always catch bass
You're our boy, Matt!
Matt you are amazing. How you can pick a lake apart. And this line watching . Man i want learn that so much. Again Thank you.
😂🤣😂🤣 Rest in peace poor net 🙏🙏 ,awesome video Matt,the new frog looks awesome 👊👊👍
My first vid I’ve see of yours and I loved it. Loved all the tips but I’d suggest using an O ring on your wacky rigs so you don’t loose em.
Good morning guys!

The jackal is one of my favorite frogs just seems softer then most great hookup ratio compared to some
That lil jackall frog is magic I swear. I live near Guntersville and that lil frog will catch em when they wont hit the spros and the bigger frogs.
Nets have a nice slow fall, very enticing for shy smallies
Not sure if it matters but if you get another Frabil net and the handle is hollow with like a cap on the end that pops out.

Standing on my dock fishing and Matt Allen cruises by just outside the buoys. Wishing I had a flare gun! Thanks for the great content gents.
Glad you like the Kaera!
Thanks Ariel!
Great info--great vid! Thanks mike
the lost net is a good unintended advert for the cush-it ultra float
Great content guys!
Awsome video guys keep up the great work
the 10 inch magnum baby! ;)
Holy freaking giant senko
Been a struggle for me lately at my lake. Hopefully I have better luck at the Hudson River later this week
Thanks for the vid help me a lot
Cover like that in oklahoma is a rare thing..........nice lake
Very good info even at 6 am.

I've never had a frabill sink. Guess im lucky. My 3 models all float pretty good.
Great vid!
Thanks!
Hey Matt, what kind of rod straps are in your boat? I like that small profile a lot.
Great video
God bless spread his word!
Right On!!

Green pumpkin has become the standard color everywhere.
A higher camera angle would be really cool for those topwater shots.
Man that’s a lot of good sized bass, where’s this at?
Your vids are great!
What was that on your line on the frog rod you moved it up your line a couple of times after you took the bass off it kind of looked like a spilt shot in if so why love your videos helps me out a lot keep up the great work in GOD BLESS
Could you guys do a video of rods and reels for throwing weightless baits?
Matt y’all should come out here to Alabama to Lake Weiss. If you’ve never heard of it look it up. 😁👍🏼 It’s called the Capital of Crappie and Bass Fishing. 👍🏼
Good video Matt. How do you like the 360 unit? Maybe a video on that would be cool
4:34 the net falls off 🤣
What are your thoughts on putting dry fly floatant on your braid to aid in line watching? It helps me some. Also, have you tried Loon knot-sense in your braid to flouro connection?
Nice, new video! 👍
do you ever ish Florida lakes? namely any lakes north of Orlando. curious how you would fish them
green pumpkin red.
Hey Mat: Another great video as always? With Icast coming up soon is there any gear your exited to see. PS I’ve head some say there really isn’t anything new under the sun when it comes to baits just slight variations on what’s already out there? Thanks...🎣😎🐝
Anybody prefer the Yum dinger to the Yamamoto? I find the Yamamoto get shredded after 1 fish, I get a lot more durability from my Yum Dingers.
Try running the z-man zinkers. You're welcome 😁
Question: how do you get under those floating docks because I know there’s bass under there
Hmong Fishing skipping

Depends on what type of fishing and water you usually fish in. We both run this one with a 52” shaft - bit.ly/2RqrT4v
4:45 seconds. Your net went flying
This is so funny this is the exact pattern I fished this weekend in tournament and it got me in the top 10 that is way to funny
Have you used a dobyns champion xp735c for frog fishing ?
Thanks for putting out great fishing content. As strictly a bank guy I would like to see more tips for us!!
Tip #1 Buy a boat lol
Lol I hear ya Dawson
What lake is that?
