Fishing in North East Ohio, definitely a lot of grass in our bodies of water. This video is one of the best. Great tips that I can’t wait to try when the ice thaws. Thanks
-7 here in Wisconsin. Nothing but hard water right now... tying up some custom finesse jigs, soaking up knowledge from a true pro, and day dreaming of ice out. Good luck at the tourney!!
Loving the amount of videos you guys are pushing out! I think a lot of your supporters would like a rod and reel break down video. Perhaps you breaking down which 13 rod and reels you use for specific lures and techniques!
Thanks Chris and team for such an awesome educational video. Being reminded of keeping it simple and not overthinking it will put fish in your boat. Good Luck with your upcoming tournaments and this year on the the BASS tournament trail.
Absolute go to baits. Depending of course on types of grass a zoom superfluke does well in hydrilla partially because you can use it so many diff ways. See you in Okeechobee brother good luck this year. Great video brother
Great video Chris! You keep teasing the new bladed jig and I can’t wait to see more about it. I have tons of darts that I usually just rig weightless that I am going to try on a bladed jog now. The blazin worm is the goat. It has become my go to soft plastic for new bodies of water. Thanks for the tips!
I love watching your videos Chris! You have inspired me to definitely throw the bigger swimbaits and you are so great at teaching how to use them! Thank you for these great tips and the great videos!
I love watching your videos, there’s always gonna be haters out there esp now that you have that Googan money, I respect that your teaching a new generation of fishing and taking your expertise and shining it with new sponsorships like the Googan products, keep it up and hope you have great success further down the road, I’m gonna try out that lunker log on that weight belly style hook thanks for the tips man, looking forward to your next moves & will keep an eye out on your upcoming content! #fishon
Thanks for grinding chris !! Love cayuga * its about a 2hr drive * love it ! Right ask D/C HE WRECKED THEM THEIR LAST YEAR ! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING FISHERMAN! HUMAN VACUME CLEANERS **
Cayuga is great and I’m not surprised with live technology DC did what he did on those smallies. Those big girls were there the last time we fished it in 2019
Great video Chris.Zoom makes a great swimming worm for Florida grass I was using it for my bass master tournament on Lake Okeechobee and got second place.I can’t wait to see more of your awesome videos!!!
Awesome video.!! One of my favorite lakes is full of extremely thick grass and a jackhammer and swim jig are my go to. Keitech fat 4.8 is another one I use. I’m so excited to start fishing unfortunately it’s 28 and snowing here in WV. Good luck fishing and can’t wait to see your next video. 👍🏻🫡
Ya if n i member correct big daddy Todd Woods 2019 Havasu open, one of the coldest ever, was had in the marina with a white vib jig white swim ee combo, for the take home!!! Weighted hook for the wiggle is a great one!
Great stuff brother as always man that bandito is my go to creature I have recently became a nuke punch fan in that thick grass seems to hold up better when ripping through the thick stuff. Stay motivated brother and keep dropping these bangers hell with the haters they will never go away no matter who is paying the bills lol 💯 👌🏻 👊🏻🎣🇺🇸🔥👍🏻
Awesome quick tip video Chris! Definitely going to try the chatterbait and stick bait tricks this weekend. Both slightly different variations than I use now. Appreciate it! More videos like this would be cool. Kept me in tune more so than traditional "whats hot this month" style video. Maybe something like this before every tournament or region you're going to next. 🔥
Chris would you suggest that a Marshal wear ski goggles for when you guys are running ? Or are good sunglasses enough ? I’m a Marshal in the Okeechobee event !
I am literally still stocked up from when the blazin worm came out, lol my favorite color in the blazin worm would have to be nightclub, but nice video, man, thanks for the tips man great video 👏
Chris, you continue to throw some amazing insight out there. Chatterbaits are my favorite, never put a dart on it though, gonna try that next time out! Any hints on if Googan/BassMafia/CatchCo are gonna be bringing a vibrating jig anytime soon?
We are working on one at Bass Mafia 😁 and there is one Catch Co built for Googan called the Clickbait - I don’t have a ton of time with that one though
If I could only throw one lure it would be a 5” lunker log; it’s very versatile - you can wacky rig it, weightless tx rig, or my favorite on a belly weighted hook like I explain in this video
That's my local store and I met you at the boat ramp. I love fishing that lake. I punch a lot but I burn a lot of creature baits. Any tips on making them last longer
That Nuke Punch bait by Googan is a little heftier plastic so that you don’t burn through a bunch of baits. Just make sure you’ve got the right rod and hook when using it
@@Zaldaingerous I'll have to order those. I can't find them locally. I've been looking. But thank you for replying back. I picked up your swimbait and am trying that now
Honestly, I prefer punching with the Bandito over the Nuke, but the Nuke is built to withstand the in and out of hyacinth better than the Bandito, it’s thicker and stiffer, but I feel like presentation wise and even hookup wise I like the Bandito more. Once it gets through the matted vegetation, it has a more natural presentation and better movement to attract the bite. It’s really a personal preference.
Jesse - he poached me. I caught my fish there prior which is why I was so aggressive. It’s something he has a history of and moreover, he camped out on the spot all day going forward trying to keep me and others from fishing it.
@@Zaldaingerous no way. Card was sitting on that spot on that day well before you rolled up. Then you got right on top of him. So now you're calling Card a pay laker. That's classy 🤏
LOL why don’t you ask the rest of the Elite field the truth about that one. I don’t have to get desperate and poach people and everyone knows that, what I do is there for the viewing on basslive.
@Zaldaingerous I could really care less to be honest about it. That was four years ago lol. I'm sure you've heard your nickname in certain circles out there, so looks like it's coming from both sides
I'm no kid, 40 yo, and have tried most of the googan stuff. Their hard baits are meh, but their soft plastics are actually quite good. Meanwhile there are now 5 other companies making hard baits as good or better than MB in a similar price range. Also DC is low-key the best fisherman alive right now who's not JW or BP
Good to see you today at Headwaters boat ramp
you're so easy to watch, great tips, great vid thanks!
IMO, discussions on fish moods (behavior) are the more important than any bait info., thanks for sharing!
I got to try the swimbait hook on the senko. Looks good!!
It’s the gig 🤫😉
Fishing in North East Ohio, definitely a lot of grass in our bodies of water. This video is one of the best. Great tips that I can’t wait to try when the ice thaws. Thanks
Thanks for watching 👊🏽
Thanks for the tip on the soft stick bait. I've never thought of using a belly weight for them.
-7 here in Wisconsin. Nothing but hard water right now... tying up some custom finesse jigs, soaking up knowledge from a true pro, and day dreaming of ice out. Good luck at the tourney!!
Brrrrrr 🥶
Love this type of video. Keep it up. Also its kinda funny how you open all those lures.
Hahaha ooops 😂
Thanks brother.... killer info....wish you were back in Cali so I could meet you and possibly go fishing together
Loving the amount of videos you guys are pushing out! I think a lot of your supporters would like a rod and reel break down video. Perhaps you breaking down which 13 rod and reels you use for specific lures and techniques!
Yessir, Steven. Going to do more of those. I actually put in the description of this video the rods, reels, & line I use for these techniques
Im for sure going to try that belly weighted worm set up. Really never thought about that. Good info man
Let me know if it works for you? Good luck!
Thanks Chris and team for such an awesome educational video. Being reminded of keeping it simple and not overthinking it will put fish in your boat. Good Luck with your
upcoming tournaments and this year on the the BASS tournament trail.
Simple (especially in grassy bodies of water) is ALWAYS better in the end
Absolute go to baits. Depending of course on types of grass a zoom superfluke does well in hydrilla partially because you can use it so many diff ways. See you in Okeechobee brother good luck this year. Great video brother

I’ve seen Scott make bank fishing fluke style plastics on beds, as well. A fluke style bait is so versatile
You are the best brother at providing great info 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
👊🏽
Great lure selection & great video 📹 Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff man, I fish stick marsh and headwaters area reservoirs as often as I can get down to FL and this nails it
Two solid places!!!
Outstanding video … wish you the very best of luck.
Thank you 👊🏽
Love your channel. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Keep up the great work man 👊
Thanks Josh 🙏
Awesome content as always
The lakes where I live never use to have grass. But now has a lot of grass in the last few years.
Palm Bay bass pro!
Seen you at headwaters and good luck this season
Great video thanks for sharing.👍
Thanks for watching Dennis 👊🏽
New sub. Real good stuff. Great style.
I love watching your videos Chris! You have inspired me to definitely throw the bigger swimbaits and you are so great at teaching how to use them! Thank you for these great tips and the great videos!
Good luck Blake!!! I hope you land several giants this season on a swimmer 👊🏽
Can't wait to see y'all on Toho! I'm fishing the college championship!
The Elites are actually fishing Okeechobee for the first one
Thank you and congratulations on your new partnerships
Thank you Ben 👊🏽

Going to try and do one or two a month that are relevant to how I’m fishing during that time and will pair well with the other things we are filming
great vid man! like vids like this with rigging tips and tricks.
Glad you enjoyed 👊🏽 we will have one or two of these each month
loved the video Chris!

Never thought about a belly rigged worm. You just sold me on buying more lunker logs.
The belly rig is chef’s kiss 😘🤌✨
Yo Chris! Big fan. Never miss an upload! Those hats are money! Can’t find em out here in cali. Or are they an exclusive run just for the goat?

@@Zaldaingerous I have thrown the Clickbait, not a favorite. But excited to see what the BassMafia one will be! Will keep the eyes peeled!
What are your favorite go to lures to be able to consistently catch fish and when to throw them and why? Thanks 🙏

HAVE to ask... vibrating jig usable in ultra clear water??? Seems like you don't need the noise if they can see it easily anyways??
Yes!!!!! Have you seen this video I made in gin clear water? 👉 th-cam.com/video/Ap3HBL_zGKA/w-d-xo.html
Still great video Chris
🙏👊🏽
Tell me you're sponsored by Googan without telling me you're sponsored by Googan.
You have the best content on TH-cam. Love your channel and best of luck this year on the tour.
Thank you, Hector!
Will a bass eat a trout glide bait if there are no trout in the lake?
Yes, I throw trout colors a ton. One of my favorite colors in a soft swimmer to throw in Texas
How many of the lakes do you fish that are tannic? Woukd you use same techniques and same colors?
In tannic water, I love junebug colored plastics and gold hardbaits
@@Zaldaingerous gold hard baits?
Yeah like a gold lipless crankbait/rattle trap
Chris when you gonna come to Conroe so I can show you how it’s done!! Lol Jk great content as usual.
I haven’t been to Conroe in a bit but need to
Definitely don't be afraid to throw treble baits around grass I've caught many flipping open pockets with a lipless
I agree a lipless can play 👌
When would you throw the Nuke Punch over a Bandito Bug?
Honestly, I prefer punching with the Bandito over the Nuke, but the Nuke is built to withstand the in and out of hyacinth better than the Bandito, it’s thicker and stiffer, but I feel like presentation wise and even hookup wise I like the Bandito more. Once it gets through the matted vegetation, it has a more natural presentation and better movement to attract the bite. It’s really a personal preference.
Chris you should read Revelation 3:20. That’s the Bible verse that I think Chase Anderson is referencing here at the end of the podcast.
bass pro just let you take stuff out of the package lol (ik you paid for it)
Haha I’m a ask for forgiveness later type of guy

NO ONE is fishing a googan bait in a tournament.
Megabass > Googan
🤏
@@Zaldaingerous best comeback comment I have read on social media today.
Have you seen Dustin Connel? Dude is the goat and uses Googan.
BP just went to Megabass. Somebody say something negative about that. I'll wait...
I'm no kid, 40 yo, and have tried most of the googan stuff. Their hard baits are meh, but their soft plastics are actually quite good. Meanwhile there are now 5 other companies making hard baits as good or better than MB in a similar price range. Also DC is low-key the best fisherman alive right now who's not JW or BP
Googan? The line is hot trash.
I use Seaguar line?
@@Zaldaingerous Googan baits = low rent entry level stuff. Megabass, Duo, Jackall and OSP are better than anything Googan cranks out.
