@jamesbarron1202 2 года назад

I wish you would do a vid to show anglers how to properly hold a big bass by supporting it with 2 hands instead of vertically with one hand where it tears their jaw ligaments and they can’t eat. The Texas Share a Lunker program has lost a lot of 13 plus pounders for this exact reason. I even see pros cranking their jaws holding them horizontally with one hand instead of two. Also letting them flop around on boat carpet or on the bank removes their protective slime and they get a infection. A lot of newbies don’t know better and you guys have a lot of viewers.

@charlesk1140 2 года назад

Thats one of the main things I admire about you and Tim, in addition to the MANY MANY other great things you guys teach, you also teach RESPNOSIBLE fishing. I HATE seeing a fish killed whether by accident or intentional. Im not some PETA nut or anything like that but I LOVE fishing and if we dont take care of these fish NOW, then our kids and grandkids wont get to experience the joy of catching a fish of a lifetime like our generation has. Obviously, its going to happen. Sometimes your going to gut hook a fish or hook their gills and when that happens we do the best we can to help that fish and what will be, will be. But at the same time if we all do our part to fish responsibly and pass those habits down to our kids and grandkids then hopefully those big ones and their genetics will continue to thrive in the future. Thanks for all you guys do for this sport. If only there were more like you.

@robertdtimmerman6507 2 года назад

Can’t believe I missed this video when you first put it out. I just got a Storm Arashi glide bait as a gift. I put new rings and hooks on it. I had no idea how to fish a glide bait, and still caught a nice 4 pounder. I now have 4 more glide baits. It’s so addictive!! Great info in this video.

@danham3344 2 года назад

Man, what a great video! I love the swimbait ones. I don’t throw surface anymore after an incident with an Osprey(the raptor, not the lure) flying away with a Huddleston! I played him like a kite for about 30 seconds before he hit the water, with the line tangled around his feet/legs, then it took another 5 mins to get him to the boat and it got REAL interesting. I was finally able to get him free of my line avoiding those talons and beak and he flew away with a huge applause from the boats that had gathered for the show. 🤣. So the baits obviously look real but I fish where Eagles and Osprey are common so I don’t mess with surface now. Thanks again Matt. Great stuff

@shawndulany4287 2 года назад

More people in the world today need to be as compassionate as you my friend. I commend you for sacrificing your chance to have a good time fishing topwater for the sake of the predatory birds. I had a goose once swim over and eat my spook off the surface in a pond once and I tried reeling it in really fast to get it away from the goose but that thing was crazy fast and just ran it down more and seconds later I was fighting a flying goose on my medium action topwater rod. I felt terrible and was able to get the goose subdued and get the hook out of it but I still throw topwater I’m just a little more careful now but thank you for being a compassionate human being. If we all just had this amount of compassion.🤔

@danham3344 2 года назад

@@shawndulany4287 - Thank you Shawn. A goose on top water?! That’s not something you hear of every day. With the Osprey, It was dicey by the boat with an angry/scared Osprey but I was very glad he flew away unscathed. Not to mention the big bonus of getting my $30 lure back. 🤣. Have an amazing day

@chafer8444 2 года назад

@shawndulany4287 2 года назад

Thanks for adding the fish care part of the video because now with all the people fishing and enjoying time on the water and the new advances in sonar technology there are a lot more encounters with these giant fish and it’s never been more important than now to get those fish back healthy. Before panoptics those fish weren’t getting bothered that much but people are starting to tap into those big fish environments whereas before it was way harder to find and target those fish. I have panoptics and use it a lot so not against that just think like you and want those fish to be here for years to come and produce more like them.👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥Been a huge fan of the channel for years and love the content you guys produce. I have learned so much from you and Tim over the years and it’s so much appreciated. Keep it up guys!!!

Great stuff as always, you guys got me into the big glide/swimbaits. Caught my first glidebait fish last fall on the 160 r2s s-waver it was a 4lb largie.

Firstly, congratulations on the new addition to the Allen family. For those of you out there that want to get into big swimbaits fishing and don’t want to break the bank, I’ll share my set up with you all…. 8’6” irod Bailey’s Mag swim paired with an Okuma Citrix 364 baitcaster spooled with 20lb Izorline xxx copolymer. I have a few 8” Magdrafts, 5-6 Savage Gear swimbaits, a couple of Swavers, Baitsanity glides, and some terminal tackle all for less than $500…

@NolanW. Год назад

lol this is so random but i went to tackle warehouse and was reading the reviews on this reel and im pretty sure one of the reviews was also you. "From: Kiki: Unknown 7/21/21 Comments: Just back from test driving my Okuma Citrix 364 baitcast reel... paired with an 8' irod heavy swimbait rod. Wow! I am very impressed! This real casts a 10' 6oz Savage Gear line through Trout with ease! After dialing in the reel for such a large bait, I was consistently casting it 40+ yards! Great big bait real for the price! Let's just see how she holds up over the next few months... 2nd review coming."

Two unrelated questions and one related question.. 1 - Can you describe what type of rod length and power you use for these swim baits? 2 - I’m looking to upgrade the graphs on my boat. Narrowed it down to 3, Hummingbird SI+, Lowrance HDS live, and Lowrance elite fs9, which is best in your opinion and why? Not looking to go all in with live imaging yet but maybe later on. But also really liking the 360 that Hummingbird offers.. 3 - What will it take for you to take me fishing?? Santee Cooper Lakes are my home lakes but for a chance to fish with you guys I’m willing to travel!!!!!

@bobsteenrod5951 2 года назад

This is the best balanced video I think you've done. You covered each aspect of it very well including the lures in illogical categories, the different techniques and the equipment. Excellent job. You even played on my sympathies as I watched you get colder and colder earlier in the day. .. As an idea for Northern fishermen, we have lite musky gear and lures that I think would fit the situation. It's true we fishing mainly for Smallmouths so this may not be appropriate but the rods, lines and reels may apply in more Southern climates without having to buy another specialized outfit.

@kaitlinsmith1984 2 года назад

Thank you for this information. I'm trying to fish to feed my family, I respect the fish I catch and the ones I don't, if it's a small bass it's released immediately, big bass will help my husband with his healthier diet full of fresh fish, same with catfish, trout, crappie, and even bluegill. Thank you again for your help in education of the general public

@PythonDad 2 года назад

I can report that the big Victory swimbait rod feels great for throwing the Savage Gear 8 inch fast sink RTF trout. Only had it out once and haven't caught a fish on that rod yet, but it throws baits in its weight range very well.

@kurtbecker9609 2 года назад

Matt, couple of questions: 1. shallow water: what depths are you talking about? can you give ranges? 2. swimbaits in highland lakes (for big spots): any 'adjustments' that you would recommend? some real monsters here for sure (florida genetics), but it's not all about just the largemouth. some other bass species about that when a guy gets tired of rubbing elbows and wants some 'alone' time... can be found.

@TXpondking 2 года назад

i always watch your yearly swimbait guide videos. they generally are the same with updated stuff but its always a nice watch. the only thing youve never talked about tho are Carp eaters. alot of lakes in the country that dont have trout like fish will have common carp, grass carp and buffalo. all 3 when they are babies are around the same size as the trout and bass will gobble them up all the same. in my local ponds they are full of grass and common carp. i fish my jig hooked baits on bottom year round to imitate the feeding carp and boy does it work

Great as always , I got my bull shad rod in and I’ve found it’s place but I’m looking at jig hook rods and been thinking the Imx , or a 807 dob or the hub rod . Haven’t seen much on the hud and idk if the 807 is to much rod for Fl

@wdh1068 2 года назад

Great stuff, Matt. I'm looking to head back to your old stomping grounds: Clear Lake. I don't think there are any sort of trout there. Bluegill, yes. Shad? I think they eat hitch. Which swimbaits do you prefer there? I seem to recall you throwing a lot of wedge tail baits, right? what colors?

@georgehuffman6814 2 года назад

First off, Thank you as always for providing a wealth of information for all of us, much appreciated! For the Tranx do you spool with a backing, and if so mono or different backing, and how much? Also, how much braid do you use when spooling? Can I spool with no backing and a 150 yd. spool, or is that not enough line? I usually do not add backing. Thanks!

Free info for you swimbaiters. I fish the Smashtech Convict; 7 inch weedless swimbait. Instead of a screw lock, I take a think bolt and cut off the head; I hammer one end flat and drill a hole for an 0 ring. I attach the 0 ring to my hook and push the bolt through the nose and into the hook slot cavity. Then I put on a rubber washer and small nut and that’s it. That bait goes from 1-5 fish per bait; to over 100 bass per bait on average. Best weedless rigging system out there.

Love ya and your vids but I get alot of big bass on my blue gill lakes and the bass will sit in 6” of water with they’re tails touching the shore that’s pretty consistent as well

I know you said years ago that there were no trout in clear lake yet you usually fished the trout style baits, is there a reason for that and if I do the same rather than fishing a bluegill style am I costing myself bites? I know they eat gills on my home water but we also have carp, suckers and catfish which I assume big bass can also eat.
