30 LB SMALLMOUTH LIMIT!! 4 BAITS CATCH THESE GIANT BASS!

Come along for an INSANE day of Smallmouth Fishing! Tim is on the water targeting giant Smallmouth and the bite is on! He doesn't know it yet, but he's about to catch 5 Smallmouth for more than 30 pounds! Today is proof that big fish don't always require big baits!

Tim has no idea what he's in for as this day begins. He's greeted with a frigid wind and seemingly difficult conditions... but before you know it he's hold a 6 lber! He's using even smaller baits than normal, with the first few giants coming on the XZone Stealth Finesse Tube. After that he finds his groove and starts loading the boat with a Dark Sleeper, Spark Shad, and hair jig. What an incredible day!

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes, colors, and rigging components, as well as Tim's rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bass Fishing Vacation! Big Baits vs Finesse Baits On New Lakes

We're on vacation and the fishing is on fire! We're chasing big smallmouth and they're eating swimbaits! From tiny little finesse baits to larger swimbaits, the bite is rocking! Come along for a relaxed evening on the water as we lean back on the Smallies and enjoy some fun fishing!

This may just be a fun afternoon session for Matt but pay close attention to the details he drops while fishing. He's talking about targeting bigger fish on any natural lake in the country, then opens up about how to choose the best bait for the situation, even if you don't know anything about the lake you're on. There is key information sprinkled throughout this fishing session. And let's not overlook that in the North, fishing clear water, Matt opted to throw the bigger swimbaits and it worked!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, along with the key rods and reels they used to successfully catch these fish, even on the lightest lines. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Crystal Clear Water - Bass Fishing Paradise!

These fish had never even seen a lure! Come along as we fish some of the most beautiful, crystal clear water we've ever seen! We're on an untouched section of Lake Michigan in search of Smallmouth bass! Before we set out, realize that exploring areas like this comes with huge risks! If something goes wrong, there is no one coming to help. Its important that you have tools, food, and shelter, if you want to explore the far reaches of the Great Lakes!

Fishing crystal clear water is incredibly exciting! You can see the fish coming, and you can see them running from you. Light line, small hooks, and natural baits are a must! An adventure of this caliber takes a ton of planning and its not uncommon to fail entirely. But on this day, we landed on the fish and they were biting! It really seemed like some of these bass had never seen a lure!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we threw throughout the day, including the exact sizes and colors. When you pair light tackle against big fish, quality drags and light line are key so you'll notice we are using very high-end equipment on this trip.
