Just caught an estimated 48” tiger musky on a mike bucca 5” bull shad in eastern pa, i am now a believer in big swimbaits. By far my biggest musky. Excited for swimbait sessions
Clifford Hutt believe me, I know. My problem is I fish maybe twice a month so I try to jam bass fishing and musky fishing into the same 4 or 5 hour trip, often alternating bass and musky baits. All my musky rods are really heavy flipping bass rods. Most times the results are poor for either species but memorial Monday all the planets aligned and all the things that could go wrong, did not go wrong. Prior to the musky, I had gone 6 times and had a total of one nibble from any type of fish 🤣
Love that you started a Swimbait series. I'm going down the same path the last few months collecting baits and getting a dedicated 2-8oz setup. Just started throwing glides, bull gills, etc. Can't wait to see how the series continues!
I was testing my swim bait setup in my local river and a 3 pounder came up and smashed my bluegill glide bait probably best way to catch bass beside frogging good video as always.
Oh my gosh that was FUN!!!!! You made me feel like I was on the boat!!! Thanks so much for the ride to you and Billy....that was quite a show!!!!! Stay safe!!!
Those baits are dope!!! Most, including me --- think their too big ...... yet they produce; proof is in the pudding as they say. Just WOW!!! Matt, the series --- another great and awesome idea. A shout out too Billy also ... that sh*t just, well --- an eye opener!!! Be Safe
Hey SB, it was a pleasure to discover your channel. Glad I found it! Subbed & set all notifications. I’m focusing on big bass only now in my older years. I’ll take what I can, but targeting giants. Bigger gear & baits. It’s been fun so far. I’ll learn along with you. Thanks. 👍🏼🎣😎 Like your style…
Awesome video man! I've been trying to throw swim baits a little more. Your definitely an inspiration for me to do it! I love the swim bait videos looking forward to this series! You should try to collaborate with firststate! I live in MD and would like to see to local guys from both sides of MD do a collaboration together.
Excellent Vid Matt !! Every time you load a new vid makes me want to get fishing . Wife asked me in January what i wanted to do for vacation, i told her I wanted to contact you and see if i could go visit and fish with you in September. , then all this nonsense happened and no vacations for us this year . Thanks for keeping me entertained and schooled.!
Love this concept. Billy is for sure my favorite out of the crew that you fish with and who are on The Bite, which I really miss by the way. I look forward to hearing what he has to say. Another thing that would be cool is if you could show a cheaper alternative for the new guys and dudes without a lot of cash at the end of your videos. Like "if you are looking for a good glide bait, try this river2sea S-Waver."
Would love to see a video on gear I want to get a big swim bait rod and reel but don’t know where to start!! I think these swim bait sessions are going to be badass keep up the good work love watching your vids !
Another great video. I do well with a large crappie looking bait. About 4" long 2 1/2 " deep . I have had it for years. I fish it slow with a lot of pauses.
Awesome! Love the title “Swimbait Sessions!” Big fish on big baits! Oh yeah! Is Billy using a Revo Rocket? Keep up the great work Matt! And yes, would absolutely love to see a video on the specific gear you guys are using for this style of fishing! You guys rock brotha! 👊🏽
SBFISHINGTV thank you bro! So when it comes to gear, do you need to have upgraded reels for the work that they’re putting in? Throwing the heavier baits constantly, targeting larger fish all the time... just seems to me that it would put a hurting on a normal reel after a short amount of time
Matt, Not my style of fishing, but it is about fishing so I like it. I look forward to more. Why would some of your musky gear not be applicable to glide baits. They are smaller and lighter than your musky baits. A little confused on gear selection. I get that some of the musky gear would be too stout and heavy. But like any style of fishing we have lighter and heavier gear depending on what we are tossing at that moment.
I got a swimbait rod over the winter but haven't had a chance to use it with the stay at home orders. Friday will be my first chance. Time to tie on that s-waver.
Another great video!! How do you like the MotorGuide bow mount trolling motor? Trying to decide between MotorGuide and MinnKota for a bow mount on a 14/36 jon...
What type of swimbaits do you recommend for a 7’3” heavy/fast Falcon lowrider (1/2-1.5oz) not ready to buy a dedicated rod but was wondering what baits I could get to see if I enjoy it. Thanks as always
i just got a mojo bass 7'10 heavy fast, does 1-4 oz. paired with the tranx 301hg. i cant say any more than 🔥🔥🧈 i feel like im throwing nothing around with that setup
Pardon my ignorance, but could you PLEASE identify the glide bait that you introduce at the very beginning of this video? I must have listened ten times to the name you gave, which sounded like "Vike Crew," but I couldn't find anything REMOTELY resembling that on Google. Nor did I see it in your written notes about the footage. Finally, I can't resist making this suggestion: If you're going to make a series on fishing with big swimbaits (great idea!), don't you think it would be appropriate to show people exactly how each one moves through the water as it's retrieved? Most anglers seem to feel that swimming action is EVERYTHING in these baits.
I've thrown it around 2-3 other times and haven't had any issues until this trip! It did pop out when I was trying to rip it over a tree though so I'll give it that haha.
Those would also make good muskie baits. Listening to you talk about twitch, pause, glide with those swimbaits is the same as working a Phantom glidebait for muskie. Edited to add: Now you're figure 8ing a bass. Love it. lol
Man, you were not kidding about getting on them with the swimmers! Billy is a swimbait guru out there!
You’re in big trouble buddy lol big swimbait fishing is super addicting and super expensive lmao!!!!
Yessir! And why im making my own. Lol
Just caught an estimated 48” tiger musky on a mike bucca 5” bull shad in eastern pa, i am now a believer in big swimbaits. By far my biggest musky. Excited for swimbait sessions
Still, 5" in relatively small for a muskie bait. Practically finesse fishing for them!
Clifford Hutt believe me, I know. My problem is I fish maybe twice a month so I try to jam bass fishing and musky fishing into the same 4 or 5 hour trip, often alternating bass and musky baits. All my musky rods are really heavy flipping bass rods. Most times the results are poor for either species but memorial Monday all the planets aligned and all the things that could go wrong, did not go wrong. Prior to the musky, I had gone 6 times and had a total of one nibble from any type of fish 🤣
Yes I think having a section where you go over all the gear would be of interest to many of us
It was cool seeing the bait move as you were explaining it and could see what your retrieve did to the bait motion. Great job!
Bring back the magdraft man!🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I love it. Looking forward to Swimbait Sessions 2
Keep them coming brotha...

Now that I’ve binged listened to the podcast, I’m rewatching guest spots from your bitemates 👍
That, looked like soooo much fun! When they start getting after the offshore nib, that will be epic!!
Love how carefully you and your friend handle the big fish. The "Bass Pros" could learn from watching you.
Oh my gosh that was FUN!!!!! You made me feel like I was on the boat!!! Thanks so much for the ride to you and Billy....that was quite a show!!!!! Stay safe!!!
DOPE!!! I MISS THAT PLACE!! Always knew that place would hunt big swimbaits!
Please keep doing this series. I’m getting into big sb fishing
Those baits are dope!!! Most, including me --- think their too big ...... yet they produce; proof is in the pudding as they say. Just WOW!!! Matt, the series --- another great and awesome idea. A shout out too Billy also ... that sh*t just, well --- an eye opener!!! Be Safe
Good eats guys! Sick series, pumped to see more of these.
I can't wait for more swimbait videos! Nice fish!

@@SBFishing right on, bro. You got me looking at rods for those big ass baits. 🤙🏻

Yes swimbait session!
Thanks
so sick man! great video. keep these coming for sure!
I’m sure you preordered the Paperweight as well! I’m considering it for sure

Nice job man. Fishing big swimbaits is my favorite way to fish by far. It sucks that it is so expensive though. Keep up the good work.
Love it! Keep them coming
I learn so much from this channel👌
Hell yeah on the gear
You got it
Would love to see a video on gear I want to get a big swim bait rod and reel but don’t know where to start!! I think these swim bait sessions are going to be badass keep up the good work love watching your vids !
Great video! You’ve turned into my favorite youtuber during quarantine. I binged almost all your videos lol. Keep up the great content 🤙🏻
Another great video. I do well with a large crappie looking bait. About 4" long 2 1/2 " deep . I have had it for years. I fish it slow with a lot of pauses.
stoked for this i get to learn moreeeee
" The 300.00 bait has paid for itself" haha...That's probably the value all my lures and my rods put together.
my31and37 catching giant bass...priceless 😁
u can tell they are 5 plus pounds when their eyes buldge out of their head i love it!
Awesome! Love the title “Swimbait Sessions!” Big fish on big baits! Oh yeah! Is Billy using a Revo Rocket? Keep up the great work Matt! And yes, would absolutely love to see a video on the specific gear you guys are using for this style of fishing! You guys rock brotha! 👊🏽
He was using a Daiwa/Deps collab Z2020. Stoked to get more of this going.
SBFISHINGTV thank you bro! So when it comes to gear, do you need to have upgraded reels for the work that they’re putting in? Throwing the heavier baits constantly, targeting larger fish all the time... just seems to me that it would put a hurting on a normal reel after a short amount of time
Good question

Been a while.. 100k more subs!! Right on man
Dude that beard is on point brother!!!
miss ur jon boat tournament vids
Hey SB! I’ll be vacationing at Lake Izac in a few weeks. You should stop by!
Dobyns Fury 795 is good for your smaller swimbaits. Rated 1-5oz and its very fun to throw around
When do the tournaments start again
You should fish lake Erie! Some of the best fishing in the country.
Another great video!! How do you like the MotorGuide bow mount trolling motor? Trying to decide between MotorGuide and MinnKota for a bow mount on a 14/36 jon...
Where did u get that TK? Also get a lowdown custom rod they’re the best swimbait rod money can buy
Billy found them on sale at monster tackle a few months ago
That scared me too...lol
Do you set your tension knob according to what bait you use or do you just tighten it until the spool doesn’t wobble side to side?
Yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Can you fish for musky with those? They seem like they'd be awesome for that. Or are they not durable enough?
What type of swimbaits do you recommend for a 7’3” heavy/fast Falcon lowrider (1/2-1.5oz) not ready to buy a dedicated rod but was wondering what baits I could get to see if I enjoy it. Thanks as always
Try a S-Waver 128 in lite trout color.
Do you or billy upsize the hooks for the big swimbaits?
What type of rod and reels are these I keep seeing them in all bass fishing videos
Matt maybe move bottom hook lower hopefully it wont change pattern
Tranx 300 with an okuma guide select is where it’s at
Yessss, same set up... love it!
i just got a mojo bass 7'10 heavy fast, does 1-4 oz. paired with the tranx 301hg. i cant say any more than 🔥🔥🧈 i feel like im throwing nothing around with that setup
Great rod for sure. I've thrown that around musky fishing in the past.
Hey what size boat do you have looking to get a jon boat that is stable
What line did u used for the swim bait
20lb seaguar invizx
That was an amazing video . $300 bucks for a lure 😳dang
I caught a snapping turtle on a chatterbait
If you go to 1 min 90 when your reeling in you can kind of see a big flash 5 sec later 5 feet to the left your friend smoked the same fish take a look
Ps cool video thanks
Me: thinking I might get one of those swimbaits
5:40
Pardon my ignorance, but could you PLEASE identify the glide bait that you introduce at the very beginning of this video? I must have listened ten times to the name you gave, which sounded like "Vike Crew," but I couldn't find anything REMOTELY resembling that on Google.

"The Bite Crew Special" It's a 1/6 Taxi Trout from Fish everything.
Ahh damn those tiny klash lips pop out like crazy😓
I've thrown it around 2-3 other times and haven't had any issues until this trip! It did pop out when I was trying to rip it over a tree though so I'll give it that haha.
Billy should have put a big ass rat on for you. Nothing like a big stray rats 11" top water bite..
that tiny klash is 90$. def can sell for 200 though im sure
Whatever happened to the bite pod anyway
$300. for one of those baits? Did I get that right? Yikes!! But they catch big bass.
Those would also make good muskie baits. Listening to you talk about twitch, pause, glide with those swimbaits is the same as working a Phantom glidebait for muskie.
Edited to add: Now you're figure 8ing a bass. Love it. lol
👍😎
Is that acting as a top water lure?
Imagine snagging that 300 dollar bait id die
First!
Nailed it
A sucker is born everyday I can catch the same fish and bigger with a $5 spinnerbait
Good job
Fish everything has a really bad rep. 🤷 who sells baits without hooks? 🤦🤷
Deep wood fat girls love deep wood
