Thanks for all the tips and your incredible videos. You're a legend, Mike. One additional thought here building on your points... even just keeping the bait in the strike zone 2x-3x as long should increase your odds by at least that amount, and then I agree 100% that there's an extra kicker/multiplier resulting from a unique presentation and greater distance from the boat. Gold.
This makes so much sense.
Awesome info mike 🤘🏽😎
This stuff is gold. Thank you for sharing!!
This distance is interesting. Ducks learn the length a gun will shoot and fly just out of range to die but close enough to investigate.
Older bass are way smarter than we give them credit for. Glad you give them the credit they deserve.
BRILLIANT information. Hidden gems of knowledge that makes some people stand out.
This material is gold
I was long lining an I-Slide 262 yesterday in East Texas. Water temp varied 85°-88° fishing a channel flat with a drop off to about 20 feet. Spooled out alot of line felt two hits on the retrieve but no bait chokers. Your exactly right Mike what ever works! No different than long lining a Texas or Carolina rig. Think outside of the box.
galva777tx I’m swimbaiting in east Texas too man, where you from?
Deep East Texas Boys: I live up here in Garland drive out to Old Mill Creek, Purtis Creek etc.
Got you, I’m way east. Lake O’ the Pines, Toledo Bend, Naconiche, Murvaul. You getting some good fish out there?
Deep East Texas Boys nothing Big yet your typical Texas 3-5 lb. Dinks. Hopefully fall will be better. I've heard good things about Naconiche and Murval. I believe some of those F1 bass Mike may be on were transplanted out in Cali years ago.....came out of Murval.
galva777tx yessir, Murvaul is my home lake. If I’m not mistaken, when the Share Lunker program was started, they got their males out of Murvaul. I hung one on Naconiche on Saturday that I couldn’t do anything with. 8’ xheavy rod, 65# braid, 30+# drag. Pulled me down into a treetop as soon as I set the hook. Never could get it out.
Thank You for taking my to time to produce these videos. The way you talk about technique, conditions, equipment, mentality of the target is gold. Breaking down the subtle nuances are the difference between not getting the bit and getting a fish of a lifetime, I think only 2% of anglers get that. Keep it up man!
Next theories in Swimbaiting: Solo netting giants without having a heart attack
Thats not a subject that I can discuss to well considering a fumble almost every time.
Haha everytime I watch "Seventeen" I still think it going to get off at the net
Can you go more in depth on knots you tie and why I'm curios?
another winner bud. glad you touched on the the negative "stigma" that certain techniques get. just throwing the larger baits in my region get a guy a lot of flack, but I agree that at the end of the day we all have that one goal, the biggest fish in that water system. I think the bad press a lot of this stuff gets can be primarily chalked up to fear of change and the unknown.
I've never thought of that before, that makes a lot of sense. I agree with your point on "outsmarting the fisherman", I think there's a lot of small things to do that can set you apart from everyone else. I think a lot of people ignore that, and are missing out.
my pops always said the longer the cast you make the more chances you have to catch a fish!!!! great video!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!
this just opened up a whole new variable for my fishing
Hope it produces for you in the right spots
Working Class Zero I'm sure it will just need to learn the quirks of my particular bodies of water ,with that being said it seems more of a soft bait technique in a sense so thinking it's time to pickup a big softy to mess with
Mike G is a LEGEND. Thank you for this man
Worked for me. I casted in a private community lake,,,,backed up and let line almost run out and while retrieving I've landed Bass way out there on a Battleshad is i believe you man! good stuff its gold
Thoughts on trolling your bait out of a spot. Long cast and dump some line then troll out while bait works thru your target area i.e. staying in strike zone longer because bait won't be coming to the boat
Coming soon. Watch the "Cast Back Magic" Video we have on the Channel. Its exactly this.
thanks Mike!
Thank you so much, keep up the great videos!
i’m mostly a shore fisherman, because I can’t afford a boat for now & ive wondered if this method would work. say i’m fishing a decent sized pond and I bomb a cast out and walk... 50-100 yards down the bank just dumping line the entire time. I think it’s possible that it could work just as well.
i’m just hesitant to throw one of my big hard swimbaits because... well, it’s a pond. and there’s tons of shit for me to get stuck on. and I know I should already consider it gone. but damn.
How many times have you had a bass follow your lure all the way to the boat and just as he is fixing to commit, he sees the boat and darts away? Your theory makes a lot of sense. I've also notice when I troll for sandbass or hybrids the long line seems to catch more fish.
Good theory I’m gonna have to try it out. 👍🏻
Interesting thought, and I think it makes sense for sure!
Thanks for sharing, will definitely try the technique!
if the bait's a LONG way away from the boat... it's can't help from appear more natural.... is what im hearing... makes sense
I remember those days bro! Definitely open my eyes at that time. Good times
I've got so many big fish on big swimbaits slow trolling on a very long line, I think they get tuned into the splash also, especially here in little Cali Lakes.
Great Stuff! Thax for sharing man. Your knowledge is inspiring!!!
I think it a awesome perspective that I haven't really put to much thought in to but now I will. I will defanintly be putting thought in to how i can capitalize on this specific technique in my waters.
Good stuff thanks mike!
your best vid yet! THANX from Idaho"
That is great info Mike. Shifts my perspective. Thanks.
I noticed that in one of your vids, after your cast you trolled away after you cast. Seemed like it paid off . Good stuff dude. Keep it coming
I'm just getting into Big Bait Fishing, this video series is awesome. your insights are super interesting! even in regards to some conventional baits. Thanks for sharing bro!
Informative stuff man thank you. Plus I cant help but see some jackass gave you a thumbs down even though these are your thoughts n Trial and errors in the big bass game. At least you have the confidence to show us your Techniques n not hide it like most people would. Thanks again
Makes sense 👍 i have just the spot to try this too.
Would this technique be applicable to bank fisherman?
most definitely
I'm new to swimbait fishing but I've been bass fishing for 40 years and I have never had that kind of thought on a presentation that is top notch stuff right 3
Wow bro u got something here. I like you talks bro keep them coming
Holy Shit!!! I had no idea that you were a miner Mike.....Cause this shit is absolute gold bud!!!
Really enjoying your channel. Thank you. When are you going to get in some more of those Battle Shads??
"The Pursuit of Giants" love it thx for sharing
Your thought processes don't know any box! Good stuff.
How would it work if I have a large swimbait with a fast rate of fall .. without it getting caught all in the weeds on the bottom ? Basically wasting a cast to get the grass off?
True or false: you have a shrine to Bill Murphy somewhere in your home or garage.
this reminds me of something.... often when i'm at a lake that I know very well... I trip on the areas that you NEVER see anyone fishing...ever I can't help from think .. that area's like it's a "closed area" it's NEVER fished ! guess i'm sayin it's like virgin water ...
That's a lot of work for one retrieve.
You ever fished clear lake?
Years ago
Gilbert, This Green Bass filming closet, location please explain. Swimbaits , double microwaves
Your thoughts, techniques and bass strategies are next level dude
Bass Blaster 3000 you have to watch the Introduction video for the Theories in Swimbaiting series.
Working Class Zero
Corner of garage, totally missed that moment at start
Basically this is he place all the magic happens, your safe place. keeps these vids coming. Such a crazy ,unique and in depth knowledge of targeting big bass
You proved this theory in the last video! I will for sure be giving this a try! Also what is your opinion on the Optimum Baits Thumper Tail? Thanks!
Ive seen the thumper tail in action and catching fish. Good bait for a time and place.
Long lining while hitting it from shore? I wonder if that would make a difference as well
Johnny Childers that’s how it started for me. Shore banging and dragging long parallels with the shore
Sick man
now you should work on stocking your store!!
mike plays by no rules! haha love it.
Great info! I dream of doing this when I have a boat! Would you have any big bait theorys for shore guys? I have some myself from fishing good ole diamond valley lake in trout season.
Retrieve speed has to change as you doing this doesnt it? As line spools back up youd have to slow down a bit? Or do you just go constant the whole time? Sweet theory!!! Could explain why fishing the bank fish will follow in then trail off 6ft from it.
How bout some knot videos and leader materials if any at all love your videos
Another awesome video Mike! You definitely keep giving me new things to consider while I experiment more with the swimbait/glide bait game. Also if you don't mind, what is the multi-jointed bait directly over your right (my left) shoulder?
Its either a Nates 5 piece or Hinkle Shad 5 piece. There are two multi Jointed baits hanging there.
Working Class Zero turns out it was the Nates 5 piece. Thanks Mike!
What's your favorite lake to swimbait fish?
You want hater's, come to Florida and fish with live bait. Some of my earliest memories are of my dad and I bank fishing or small john boat fishing with giant shinners or blue gill. We caught so many giant bass.
But now day's you will get cussed off the lake if you fish live bait. I still fish live bait every now and then and I don't really give a shit. It's very much legal and productive. I will try the long line technique your talking about. Keep giving it hell out there brother.
so much info in this clip. I was like dude how can you tell everyone this BUT I get it sharing info educating people ... fortunately most people are too arrogant to actually listen to what youre throwing down here. also, to your point, I have the FL IGFA line class record for 4lb, 13.25lbs.. for years all I head was so much crap about no way this an that, fact of the matter they have no idea how long I hunted that fish and the perfect window I had.. anyway, most all anglers have something to say but its just too veneer, selling shitty stock baits and BS rhetoric, but havent put the time in,, you keep it 'working class zero' .. I am a fan of nothing but def subscribe bro .
If keeping the bait in the strike zone for that big bite as long as possible is the way to go for highly presured fish, why not just troll the baits with a long line around the areas you think they are hanging out rather than casting ?
Thats another approach not yet discussed.
This channel is incredibly under subbed
Haven't put the effort in
either way you deserve tons and tons more dude. Keep it up!
my nigga
Whoo
