A bass fishing video blog dedicated to teaching and helping bass fisherman grow.
Matt Allen LOVES summer night fishing. When the sun goes down the big bass come out. Matt will show you his hard won methods for targeting mondo bass when the moon is out. There is something uniquely exciting about hearing the telltale KURRBLUUUUUMP and feel the rod load up without being able to see a thing.
We're on an epic school of Smallmouth when the conditions start changing. We were catching them up to 7 lbs but when temperatures began to drop and flows diminished the fish shut down. What do you do now?
Watch how we adapt to the changing conditions by transitioning to heavier weights, deeper diving crankbaits, and a variety of other baits to continue catching the bass in this crazy video!
We had an awesome time catching these big smallmouth but the story is really about how we were able to continue catching fish as the conditions changed radically. Below is a break down of the equipment we were fishing with.

Jig fishing is one of Tactical Bassin’s favorite ways to target enormous bass. Summer Jig Fishing has its own little quirks and secrets that only an enormous amount of time on the water would teach you… unless you have Matt Allen to break it down for you. Check out these three quick tips for Fishing Jigs in the Summer!
Angler Sean Moffett Caught this MASSIVE Channel Catfish on 7/8/17. It is being submitted for the ALL-TACKLE WORLD RECORD for Length. It measures an amazing 83 centimeters (Inside Dimension) and will topple the existing record of 80 centimeters if all goes well with the IGFA Record Application.
The Most amazing part about this giant catfish is that Sean was fishing for bass at the time of the record catch. He was using a light action spinning rod coupled Keitech Worm. He was only equipped with 10 lb line and the monster fish was in shallow grass. He was in for the battle of his life, lasting nearly 10 minutes!
Whether you enjoy bass fishing, catfishing, or fishing for bluegill and crappie, a fish of this size is worth stopping and checking out. World record fish are always incredible. The biggest fish in the world of any species is special and this one is nothing short of amazing!
