A bass fishing video blog dedicated to teaching and helping bass fisherman grow.
I recently had the pleasure of spending a day on Lake Lewisville with Tim Cline. As the day progressed I realized that I was completely outmatched when it came to pitching and skipping in heavy cover. Tim was gracious enough to let me turn the camera on so the rest of you could see how he does it. Watch closely and take notes, this guy is good!

Thanks to Hooked Up for lending us this video. When it comes to swimbaits and big bass, Mike Long is someone that just can’t be argued with. In this video he shares a few brief insights into his signature series of Dobyns Swimbait Rods. I credit these rods directly for keeping my hookup to land ratio so high. Give the video a watch and learn from the the man that inspired the design.
Some days you launch the boat and the world just feels right. You can sense that something epic is coming. The clouds are just right, there is a ripple on the water, and the water temperature seems perfect for big fish.
On this particular day I had that feeling. That is, until 3 hours had gone by and we didn’t have a fish in the boat! 3 big bites down, no fish! It was starting to look like a disaster until my partner got one to the net.
Isn’t it amazing how one fish can turn a whole day around? It seemed like all was lost until a single fish connected and made it to the net. Then it was game on! I apologize for the dark pictures but we caught fish so consistently we didn’t bother to take their picture until it was dark and the bite had stopped.
Here is a quick video giving a glimpse into a livewell full of largemouth! These fish were caught on a variety of lures. At this point I’m not even sure what fish ate what baits. Fish were caught on a homemade 7″ boot tail swimbait, 6″ injected lunker punker, super spook, Snagproof frog, and Yamamoto Senko.
The fish were actually incredibly simple to catch. They had moved up in very shallow water along a reed and chunk rock bank. We spent most of the day casting parallel to shore and working the baits in 2 to 10 feet of water.
Matt Allen has caught some mean, downright angry bass in his life, but nothing compares to this. Come along as Matt takes your fishing for Leopard Sharks! Lets hope he doesn’t try to lip one just out of habit and loses a thumb.
