Been bass fishing for about 3 years now. Picked it up later in life than a lot of folks. You guys have contributed to a HUGE improvement in my skill and knowledge. Thank you for everything you do to share and spread good information. I had never heard of a swing head jig until your video about it recently. Picked up the gear, threw it the next day, caught a great fish in the first 10 minutes. Amazing stuff, keep it up fellas!

New subscriber about 2 months now, and you have made me an elite bass fisherman . So much knowledge due to the way you on point describe each bait, what it does, how to fish it, the environments, your tone of voice with the sound effects. Haha, man your great! I always get exactly what I need for any conditions and environments. Love your videos, thank you a lot man!

So awesome to see Matt talking about the CAST OG! I caught over 21 pounds yesterday on Lanier with the OG in the Ether color.

[bradensimms]

Love it.

Could you guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do another in depth night fishing video?!

[michaelray]

Love your vids! Another great but obscure one you should add to this list is the tiemco red pepper. Crazy action and catches fish!

[brianrobinson]

It has been a hot minute since you guys have talked about the Bubble Walker.
I think I came to a realization as to what the Hellraiser looks like coming through the water. It looks like a lizard running across the top of the water, trying to make it back to solid ground

[kolincogburn]

I love the pikupiku on my bfs set-up! It hands down just works!

[troycote]

I have a Wakebait tied on when ever I fish. I loud looks great! The giant Buzzjet is insane as well as the smaller ones but at night, the big Buzzjet and Mega Pompadour are absolutely insane!Also love the big bubble walker. Also the chuggin Spook is soooo money! I fish Smaller ponds picking things apart.

[corefishing]

I feel like we are overdue for a new in depth popper video. 😁

[gunadoo]

Great Video, I can't wait to start throwing topwater. The water is pushing 58 degrees!

[andybales]

After watching Roland Martin catch big bass on The Helicopter lure back in the day, im convinced bass will hit anything that's coming across the top if the conditions are right....nevertheless, I'll keep buying lures for my collection 😂 agree 100% on showing fish sonething different every now & then...the 9" Slug go soft jerkbait was that bait for me, which i guarantee no one was throwing this spring...worked great! Im going to take overlooked baits this weekend & see what happens

[richardblake]

I wish I had the money and time to buy and try each one of these. Very enjoyable video Matt, thank you.

[ernestlangley]

Thank you for the content! With you catching youself in the sleeve, I've always wondered if you got caught by those trebles, with as much moving as you do on your videos?

[BrandonS]

The big bubble walker is a great one and such a well made bait too

[marshmellow]

Can we get a video on crazy / unique modifications on hooks, plastics, jigs and lures? Great tips!

[raenkord]

That hellraiser is a fun lure to fish. Definitely goofy, but it works great if you throw it under overhanging trees and burn it to the surface before working it back moderately.

[BassHead]

I like the Delta info beings it’s in my backyard. I’d like to see a Delta specific video. Central California gets passed over a lot. Great video though.

[Cornelius]

I'm going different, too. Breaking out my old Mister Twister Top Prop. I can rig it with many different soft plastics.

[tagg]

does the spunk shad work well on the blade waker, have you tried that trailer on it at all? those styles of baits and fluke style baits are my favorite chatterbait trailers.

[johno]

Another great video Matt. I have another unique lure that almost no one is using. Have you tried the iBobber robotic jerkbait called a snappr. It's a crazy bait that is charged with a USB charging cable. The jerkbait’s secondary action is what is unique. The lure flashes and vibrates. It us on the pause that this bait catches the most fish. It works great with bass but is a killer bait for walleye and pike as well. Try it and let me know 😉
