Honestly Matt ive been with the channel for more than 6 years and I wouldnt be able to describe in a single comment how much value ive received from you guys. Not only have i loaded my arsenal with great gear and have knowledge to use them, I started a custom painting hardbait business I do fulltime. Any area of my fishing life can be enriched by each and every video. Thanks alot on behalf of every viewer here🙏🏼

Big worms, big swimbaits, & frogs is hard to beat for me. Past 5 weeks I've caught more monsters than I ever have years combined. Largest being 9lb 3oz 26" long 16.5 girth. Next 3 were a 8lb 6oz, a 7lb 8oz, & 5lb 8oz! Been an unbelievable summer for me. Trying really really hard to break that double digit this year! Hopefully I'm successful

[Myancestorsheathen]

A tip I learned from my grandpa when dropshotting trick worms is to break off a piece of tooth pick and shove it in the tail end of the worm to also add buoyancy. Works great in Texas.
Also, don’t be afraid to keep a Texas rig tied in as he said. Creature baits still work in the dog days of summer

[basschaser]

This time of year is my favorite. Off shore bass fishing with dropshot or cranking

[lamebritishman]

They might be easy to catch more north, but here in TX in August it's tough fishing shallow or deep.

[raymondpadilla]

awesome video im waiting for the night fishing video? hopefully next 🎣🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳

[baitchuckin]

Another amazing video!! SO much information! Thank You Matt for everything you and Tim do!! Cheers Brother!!

[jstriana]

I LOVE LOVE the TB Underspin. I have been using the Z-man minnowz with amazing results. Where not even a drop shot would work, this set-up generated some great bites. Thank you for all you do.

[KrayZay]

Its my birthday month and I love bass fishing, , , , imma literally throw all of these lures until September 🤷🏿‍♂️…Leo gang

[uspsd]

Very knowledgeable angler for sure! I have figured them out but cannot land the big ones I hooked 4 this year I have lost sleepover and I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it sucks

[farrzmd]

I tied on a drop shot this winter when I wasn’t able to get bites on small moving baits. Let’s just say I still have one tied on. It’s still producing. ….. moving bait wise bill Lewis Atv crank and R2S biggie smalls crank, rebel pop-r, and Picasso shock blade.

[Polyvalent]

Thanks for the video. You're always my #1 recommendation when anyone asks how do they get into largemouth bass fishing.

[andrewboyce]

Super helpful. August is probably one of the best months to fish

[J-Rod]

Wacky worm rig has been #1 for me this summer.

[bubonicinstrumental]

Idk what up north fishery has no grass but i need to find that LOL

[thecoolest_clips_]

I’m happy to see those owner cover shot hooks, because I lost one of my biggest fish drop shoting in heavy cover because my hook bent out. Definitely gonna pick some of those up.

[TheS]

I just discovered your channel recently. I feel like I’ve struck gold. Great info. I’m already catching 3x the fish easily. Better quality fish too. Thank you so much!

[malachialm]

Very informative! You've helped me catch hundreds of fish 🐟. Thanks Matt Allen.

[mulder]

you should try the core tackle hover rig on the soft jerk baits. its freaking awesome for catching fish.

[MikeCostelloOutdoors]

Can you talk about fishing line colors and what is best. I just bought some red braid and I’m wondering if that was a good choice.
