Targeting BIG Bass In Offshore Grass! ( Topwater Bite Is On Fire 🔥)

Come along for some insane topwater fishing!! Matt dropped his aluminum boat into a new lake and is going exploring. It only takes a few minutes to locate fish hunting along offshore grass lines. Its been a long time since we've been on a wide open topwater bite like this!

Some days it feels like you make all the right decisions. From where the fish were positioning to the baits they were eating, this lake fit right into Matt's style of fishing. The Giant Dog X and the Magdraft made a great pair on the grass lines but Matt still took the time to explore other options and further dial in the bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and rod and reel combos Matt used throughout the morning. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
