I don’t think any other channel I’ve seen has really taken the time to go over the types of grass and how to fish them, and what about bass biology affects their behavior regarding grass. Top tier fishing video
And they use graphics and maps and stuff to show you real life instances that really help me understand what they are talking about .glad I've found this channel
Tyler- Gotta say dude, I've been fishing most of my life, and this video is one for the archives! I've never seen a more organized, comprehensive and well presented seminar on grass types, regional prevalence, bass positioning, etc. It's all the things we collect over time being out on the water, but you filled in so much more info than "hands on". Thanx from all of us who might have been as impressed with this presentation as I was!
I really prefer these more lecture-like vids. Everyone has a vids of them sitting in their boat talking to you but you were the best one to present information like this!
Awesome video with tons of information in a well laid out and explained format. A lot of work went into this production with pictures and full explanations. Well done sir! I smashed that button..
very helpful video. Thank you so much for putting the time into this. I just subbed and definitely looking forward to part 2 because I Kayak fish a lot of smaller lakes in central Florida where we we have a lot of spatterdock lily for example and it's been a challenge to fish that for me but I know they're up under it. One thing that would be really helpful (to me) is to show some real world examples of how to get the various lures into these vegetations and avoid getting a hook full of junk. You mention a squarebill for grass. I can see a nightmare throwing that into hydrilla for example.
The amount of knowledge you share is second to none! Thank you for the content. Definitely going to be studying your content and take it to the water to practice and win some local tourneys!
Excellent video & very informative. I really appreciate learning more about grass as my "home lake" here in PA is an "all grass" lake. Looking forward to part 2!
Great video. I fish up at Goose Pond on lake guntersville and eel grass is out of control. Buzz baits at night catch alot more grass than fish. I use mostly scum frogs to negate picking off my lures. Back in the 80s it was hydrilla that was talked about mostly. But all in all grass equals bass so we just have to adapt. Thanks again for the informative video. We'll done for sure.
This was a great video. The graphics really made the information you were presenting much easier to digest. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm adding it to my favorites.
This is a life safer! I am fishing a tournament in August in the weediest lake I have ever seen. FULL of milfoil. Spent all day yesterday on that lake and got skunked. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to get out there and put it to the test
As 90% of the lakes near my home are heavily over grown with weeds and pad fields I have been searching for videos on how to fish such vegitation as effectively as I can especially from shore as I do not own a boat. This was the only video I have seen of the dozens I watched that explained what different types of grass/weeds are in lakes how to correctly identify them and how best to fish them. You are to be commended on producing the absolute best most informative video on how to fish grass to maximize your chances to catch bass I have ever seen and I've watched more than I can recall. Why I enjoy your videos so much and purposely seek them out is your videos are always 80% or more helpful information and little time trying to sell things. You are a true educator of how to become a better more successful fisherman Please keep putting out as good of content on fishing as there is out there.
Nice video would like to know more about how to fish these extensive grass patches from the bank, every lure recommended just ends up a handful of weeds every time I cast!
So question, I fish a local lake that is fairly small, 40 acres or so, and only from the bank. Kress Lake in Kalama WA. The problem I seem to have there is that there is a ton of invasive hydirilla and millfoil, no grass lines, it’s grass just under the surface from side to side across the whole lake. No structure that’s visible and no overhanging areas. Thanks be caught some nice bass there, but very inconsistent. The lake is only 12-14 feet deep at its deepest. When you have solid grass just under the surface across the whole lake, how do you approach it (from the shore)?
I have a lake (more like big pond) near my house and it is COVERED in milfoil there are no spots this grass is not found. Can't bring any water craft in it so you have to bank fish. I just use top water or Texas rigs any other suggestions?
Can't thank you enough for this Video!!! There is a lake in my county that is lined with Milfoil and I was sort of confused on how to fish it. Watch this video, went out a nailed 2, 3#ers Big thumbs up!!
Here in Massachusetts a ton of my local ponds are getting totally choked out by milfoil and hydrilla weed. Like you cant even fish them anymore. Every year another one of my favorite spots turns into a “froggin pond”, or best case scenario you can fish them from like ONE spot in front of the dam. It’s brutal. Most of them still produce, but they aren’t fun to fish anymore since you simply cant put anything with a hook out there lol
Alot of times when finally punching through grass or pads once you get through holding rod tip high tapping the top underneath portion to see if bass are just below pads sometimes bass will crush it. Letting it drop 2 to 3 seconds slightly raise rod tip drop again then slightly raise rod tip again imitating a creyfish a bass can crush it. Finally let punch rig hit the bottom. I've found starting at the top a few minutes then let punch rig drop 3 to 4 seconds then yoyo technique twice imitating a creyfish then finally the bottom works great. Yes you may work a patch for 5 to 10 minutes it's worth it. Works great in warm an hot weather.
What's part 2 called you should sell the the notes to the videos so I doing have to take them down myself lol I can just focus on the video and then have the notes to look at when I'm in the grass...lol. laid out and explained very nicely I learned allot and tied some other things together. Have to watch again though my volume isn't quite loud enough for me hear everything be phone tomorrow I hope any outside or secondary noise, and it's like what did he just say rewind again takes a couple hours sometimes too watch a video rewinding and pausing to write things down oui vay....lol. Thanks Tyler keep up the goods work... Right lines to all and to all a good day..... On the water.... I'm out
Now that’s what I’m talking about someone who will give you the information how to catch this great fish thanks again and I always watch your videos Tom Buffalo
Must be a southern thing, but here in the north we typically call wild rice "grass", in shallow water. In deeper water we usually call narrow leaf pond weed grass. To distinguish it from broad leaf pondweed or cabbage. Coontail, elodea and milfoil we just call weeds.
Ty just seen this video it is awesome give perspective to everything that we actually have to think about . I personally hate eel grass especially at guntersville where I didn't even weigh one lol the one I caught on a shake head measured in at 12 1/2 inches. That's okay because dale hollow is in two weeks for me can't wait
Great video thanks, For me the step by step helps me write it down and keep going over it. Now I know what the green stuff is covering half our lake in N.idaho.
Fishing in weeds is the best I hate how the city trys to destroy large amount of weeds and holding those big bass and try to put chemicals in the water to make the fish move into deeper areas destroying good fishery and making the grass die sooner in the early summer years
Very good video, different, informative and well documented. You did your homework well. I'm tired of seeing fishing youtubers who are nothing more than sellers of lures, reels and rods.
Just found this channel, been watching Fish The Moment with Jonny and Randy, now this as well for bass, Tom Boley for eyes. Very few deep and concise youtubers I fell in love with that are practical in techniques and mechanics! Keep it up!
Information, as always, super helpful. The intro, however, had me feeling like I was listening to a Dr Suess audiobook 🤣🤣 “you are now tuned in to the bass grass masterclass!”
As a Oneida Lake local, I LOVE grass fishing. Even most bank fishing around here is action packed with grass. I have fished grass most of my life, but I still learned a few things here..These tips are on point!
Outstanding!! Your videos are amazing and so easy for me to comprehend as a new bass angler!!! , please keep the content coming. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!!
My friend and I were fishing a creek in NW PA. We came to an area about 3 ft. deep and I could see eelgrass (I think) and a channel running through it. I saw a bass laying on the edge of the channel and I had my friend cast passed it. He was using a perch colored Rapala and I was able to watch him reel it and guide his cadence. It was an awesome sight to see when the bass came out of the grass and hit his lure. He landed it and it was around 2lbs. Thanks for making this video it was very informative
The best grass video I have watched! Thanks! The South African bass are not much different when it comes to the rules you have posted here, so this was a great confirmation that I'm doing the right stuff!😅
This is the most informational video I've seen on this. Side question - When you're pitching in the holes and get bit, do you horse them out or hook them and let them work themselves out? Example- I've lost alot of good fish flipping Holes in deep Kissimmee Grass mats. The hook always seems to catch the grass from the hook protruding outside the mouth and the fish will come off. Keep hammerin them on Tuesday nights this year 🤙
a great video. I have had some luck fishing coontail in mississippi with a home made lure made of a light weight rooster tail and cutting off the hook and then adding a swim bait hook with what ever the clarity of water call for. it really comes through it very well and fish kill it on the strike
@@BassFishingHQ make you one and try it out and let me know. i don't think that you will be disappointed. a 3/8 rooster tail in a good place to start, add flash like a spinner bait but comes through the coon tail better
I don’t think any other channel I’ve seen has really taken the time to go over the types of grass and how to fish them, and what about bass biology affects their behavior regarding grass. Top tier fishing video
Thanks so much man
Right? This is an AMAZING S tier fishing channel
Yeah every day i look at his channel he literally has 300-500 more subs. Great channel
He does a good job
And they use graphics and maps and stuff to show you real life instances that really help me understand what they are talking about .glad I've found this channel

@@BassFishingHQ oh sweet! Glad you responded too! You're a big enough channel Im surprised you even saw it! Seriously love your stuff
@@TVlord5 I tried to spend time every day responding to the latest comments. Thanks for watching the videos
Agreed
Awesome info thanks! We have a problem with alligator weed in our HOA lake, with only small patches of hydrilla.
Yea gator grass can be super tough to fish around but it can also hold some bass! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video with tons of information in a well laid out and explained format. A lot of work went into this production with pictures and full explanations. Well done sir! I smashed that button..
Thank you I've been looking for a grass break down.
Thank you, I hope it helps!

That means a lot cause the graphics take a while for me to produce. Thanks for watching!

Take a shot every time he says “grass” or “bass”.
Bro im so wasted right now 🤤
I can’t find part 2 any help?

I wish I had friends to fish with. I hate going by myself.
Thank you! This info will help me tremendously in my grass filled lake. Can't wait to get back on the water!
Absolutely incredible video. Very well made and extremely educational. Got a new follower. Ty and keep up the good work.
Very good info, so much rang true from past experiences. Ready to put these ideas to use! Great job, thanks!

My central Fl pond has a thick layer of muck on the bottom. Any muck tips?

Thanks Tyler! Yours is the only video that goes into so much depth on all of the grass varieties! I appreciate you!

Thanks again, another very informative educational video!
This is an incredibly helpful video.
What are the best things to throw in the hydrila in 20 ft deep water during the summer time or the springtime? Any help would be appreciated
Outstanding! Up here in the natural lakes of Michigan, sometimes there is more grass than water. The video is a game changer.
Thanks for those kind words man. It means a lot!!
As a lot of other have related great video and the info was great keep it coming brother
Will do!!
Fishing in weeds is the best I hate how the city trys to destroy large amount of weeds and holding those big bass and try to put chemicals in the water to make the fish move into deeper areas destroying good fishery and making the grass die sooner in the early summer years
No ones fishing with treble on hooks on grass literally impossible
Hey Tyler, did you ever release Part 2? If so, what is its title called?
Very good video, different, informative and well documented. You did your homework well. I'm tired of seeing fishing youtubers who are nothing more than sellers of lures, reels and rods.
Trying my best. Thanks for watching
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved

Grass mats attract massive bass
Yes I do like what you just told me

Love the content and thank you! How are amateur guys like me supposed to remember this info!? Lol love the content! And thanks again!
