Want to catch bigger fish? Want to catch the BIGGEST fish?! Targeting big bass requires a different mind set and a special set of skills. You need to set new goals, approach the water, weather, and environmental conditions differently. It might even require a bait or two you're not familiar with. But when you set the hook on the biggest bass you've ever seen, its instantly worth it! Dive in to today's full-length seminar and learn everything you'll need to know to catch the biggest bass in your lake.
Tim does an extraordinary job of teaching what you'll need to know to be successful. Catching bigger bass starts with a shift in your mindset. You're no longer on the water trying to catch fish, you're there to catch ONE fish. None of the other bass in the lake matter as much as the single fish you're pursuing so stay focused. Fish when the weather and environment are working in your favor, and success will follow.
While giant swimbaits are a huge part of consistently targeting BIG bass but there are other baits that will also catch these fish. Knowing how to "trigger" a feed response is critical. Baits like jerkbaits, crankbaits, and Alabama Rigs all play a key role in this method. Its also important to understand when conditions simply aren't conducive to big bait fishing and you're better off with a finesse approach.
Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment Tim recommends as you pursue the biggest bass in the lake.

@DrFrankensteam 4 года назад

6 min into this video and I 100% agree with what your saying. When I was learning how to bait cast, I left my spinning gear at home on purpose. To FORCE myself to learn how to use it. Needless to say, that tactic works. It was jokingly said if there was a backlash tournament, I’d be the king! But you know what I got out of it? Not only can I cast well now, but I can also un tangle well. Quite a few times I’ve been handed a horrid backlash on someone else’s pole that they gave up on only to get it out. My other advice? Throw whatever everyone else isn’t. Anything different, unusual, rarely used.

The first time I targeted Musky I was using a 10-12 inch Sucker minnow. Within 5 minutes I had a monster hit it and ran. Fighting it up to the boat I found about a 4lb Bass hit the Sucker minnow and a monster Musky hit the Bass. At that point I realized I needed to start using BIGGER baits. The record for Minnesota is 8lbs 15 ounces, and I catch a lot of them between 5-7 lbs. 72 more days until the season opens, another 2 weeks until Bass opens in Minnesota. Thanks for getting me revved up for the up coming season with the whats and the wheres because that DOES matter!

I watch, and then go to Tactical Bassin’ website and link over to Tackle Warehouse and there goes my next Social Security check. I have no will power to resist your recommendations because they are always so spot on spot. You gotta help an old man. 😂

@michaelmontalto 2 года назад

Outside of California, I don't know of many places that present huge trout-like swim baits. California is a state that is incredibly unique to the rest of the country. Florida strain bass in an ecosystem that is perfect for growth coupled with stocked prey that helps to accelerate their growth. It's one of my favorite states to fish, but for those of us in the mid-west, 7-9lb fish are true monsters. 10-13lb fish are nearly unheard of.

@michaelcharlesleone 4 года назад

Why is it that everyone seems to use or recommend giant baitcaster reel for teener largemouth? If you look at saltwater, they all use spinning reels for bull redfish and other fish that fight a hell of a lot harder than any teener bass. So why don’t people use redfish style spin caster setups for big bass? Everyone says you need a super beefy baitcaster. I’m struggling to understand why. You guys are the experts. Please share your thoughts.

I hunted my DD for four years pretty much almost everyday there at the lake and learning the ebb and flow of the lake how, when, where the big bass hangout it four years until I found this stretch of maybe ten feet of the dam where the big pre spawn bass stage before they move on. They wouldn't take a swimbait but they hit my drop shot tiny fluke and that's how. I got my DD bass I haven't been back to that spot but I believe if I go back at the right place at the right time they'll be there again but bthe lake has changed so much from that time the lake is up like 30 feet since then.

@jeremiahgiles3593 4 года назад

I've been throwing the big swimbaits for a few years now and I've caught a few fish up to 8lbs. It definitely works but you'll be spending a lot of time casting because it's NOT a numbers game. You're not going to go out and crush em on a 10" glide bait or even 8" swimbait very often. They DO and WILL work but you're going to get skunked or only get one bite more often than not. You'll also be surprised how small a fish still will eat a big bait

@lane4574 4 года назад

If you hook the stock hook to a tree and the line your using doesn't break , but you straighten or break your hook. That's when you change it. all joking aside , grab the stock hook with needle nose and if you can tweek it easily , replace it with a beefier hook. I learned from fish actually straightening the hook or straight up breaking it.

@svang55 4 года назад

@@jakefromstatefarm3256 most likely your rod will be overloaded. A lot of brands will over rate their max weight limit. My general rule is that a rod's sweet spot is roughly in the middle of their rating. If a rod says it is for 1-5 oz baits, usually it will throw a 3 oz perfectly and 5 oz will be a bit too much for it. I would not use a rod rated at 1 oz max to throw a 1 oz bait. My rod to throw 1-2 oz baits is rated at 1-5 oz. Hope that helps

@gsloat2424 4 года назад

One more question! Do you start big realistic baits like the trout 4d and work your way down to reaction big baits like S-Waver, then if that's not working try a bluegill crankbait or something similar then move down to finnessin with a worm? Or work your way up?

@josephacker5716 4 года назад

If the bass are positively feeding, like perfect or near perfect conditions, I can see throwing those big search style baits. I am curious what would be the approach for spring bass if I can only get out post frontal such as the day after a storm blows through? What should I throw and where do the bass go during those spring hiccups during the period when they're suppose to be active prespawn but shut down?
