gotta be a spinnerbait or tube. my grandpas friend got me hooked

was this guys fedex guy for awhile, him and roland martin, both amazing humans.

Spoiler shad in clear is hands down the best version of this bait

Mine is the clear tiny torpedo. I still use them 35 years later.

I’m an Eagle scout too what was your project

The white curly tail grub got me hooked. It was the one my dad first had me use

Berkley pogy shad, pre rigged and slays them still when the bite is tough to get.

Tournaments banning the A Rig because it’s to effective. Yet FFS is still allowed. Easy to see when tournaments get their money from.

It’s funny because I have that exact tsunami shad swim bait but i still haven’t caught anything on it

Caught my first bass on a spoiler shad with spinner, it was tiny but my first fish bigger than a blue gill

My first lure I caught a fish on was a jig, been fishing since late June and caught 3 five pounders, first every fish was with a jig and i continued to use it and caught every fish in the beginning with it

I grew up fly fishing and it's been so long I dont remember what fly got me hooked, but when I moved to Virginia, I started using a spinning rod and going for Smallies. My first really big small was on a berkley swim jig just like the one in thumbnail. That was the hardest fighting fish I had ever caught, up to that point and I couldn't stop.

I still have some of those! I caught a bass on one about a week ago. 😂

The storm wildeye swim shad has caught me many fish, and different species. It's a great lure!

Mine was a 6 and a half inch Rocker Rat

There wasn’t really any specific thing about fishing that got me. For me I didn’t grow up fishing, my uncle fished but he never really took me with him. For me it was an outlet, my father recently passed, I had recently got sober and was just going through a lot. One day tho I went camping and just caught a few bluegill and was hooked from then on, discovered bass fishing a little while after and it’s been an integral part of my life ever since

I have a couple of the Storm small swimbaits they are really good for Bass fishing for me. Thanks Tyler great video bud God bless 🙏🏻

A senko caught my first big fish ever in my life. 4 lbs watermelon red flake. I was 19

The K&E bass stopper was the one that got me hooked. Then someone stole all my tackle and I gave up for yrs. Thankfully I’ve gotten back into it and it’s been the best.

Cast with right arm, continue holding rod with right arm and use left hand to retrieve. No switching required 👍

I have a little pre-rigged berkley powerbait swimbait in pink…it just sits there. Don’t use it or really plan on it. It’s there because I remember being in a paddle boat on my lake growing up catching em with something very similar. Now I want to throw it after watching this lol

Arctic Spinners is my number 1. I met you in Sebewaing Michigan a couple of years ago and you signed one for me. Thanks for being you man I appreciate you!

Hi, Were we supposed to get a confirmation email of our entry? I entered with a purchase and sent it off I just want to be sure Im in the givey. Thank you love your channel and have learned lots. Tight Lines

For me, I was basically born into fishing, nearly everyone in my family fishes, but I kinda completely love fishing these day's more than ever, since 2020 happened, & me, & my grandfather had nothing better to do than fishing, & when I started buying slightly higher end gear compared to what I used to use, I completely rekindled my passion for fishing, & now I have the best fishing luck in my family.

That green drop short worm is a go to for me. I can catch 20 bass per hour with it at my local fishing hole.

Ahhhh! The cabela's special. I have probably bought 30 to 40 packets of those so far. It's almost like everytime I go there i pick up a pack.

I've been using the berkley ones lately, great skunkbuster for me. also I throw em on a spinning setup.

Probably like most people the lure that I caught the fever with was a rooster tail I (I was 10 years old) caught every thing on that lure I actually was using live worms and had ran out and was fixing to kick rocks back home and I found a rooster tail on bank and caught more fish than I had ever caught before.. Thanks for coming out again Tyler

For me it was the jig my unle bought me my first baitcaster and gave me a jig and I didn't know how to fish it so I just swam it and I use to slay bass

Same swimbait got me hooked and it crushes them.

What’s your opinion on the Lew’s Signature Series rods vs the Lew’s Custom Lite Series of rods as a whole? Looking at a 7’3” Medium Heavy Fast action rod.

Got my biggest bass was a stOrm swimm baits I found on the ground everyone told me it would never work. Now they are hooked up on pre rigged swimm bait's. They all work so nice. StOrm, 13fishing, rapla, crush city, what not to like. I only use a soft rod to keep them on not fast Action or stiff medium heavy power rod not good to use. The more moderate Action rod the better.

great Topic for mee it was the little pinky pink head jig the crappie used to crush it every day every cast in the morning

Rebel Pop-R

Your content is great. Even this silly stuff is worth watching to me. I’ve set out this year to become a truly good angler and I’ve made progress thanks to you and a few others! Appreciate it!

Manns Jelly Worms (purple)

Then kinami senkos.... Boy for the price they were the best lures ever

Those tsunami swimbait are still sold . They still work great!!!

KVD sexy dawg jr, caught 54 white bass from the bank in about 90min.

You're first is always the best but you improve from their and get better

My first non bedding bass I ever caught was on one of those storm paddle tails. They didn’t get me hooked on fishing because I already was but they were the start of me growing as a fisher

In line rooster tail was my first winner

My favorite is the spinner bait during spring fall and summer, but I like the 3 inch Berkeley white swim baits and the Berkeley 3 inch minnows with a jig for winter

Congrats on 385,000 subs!! This video was really fun!! My dad also started me on bread balls!

Great video Tyler! My lure was a Hula Popper. Funny thing was I didn't know how to fish it "correctly". I was working at a new Salvation Army Camp grounds back in 1979 before the camping season season started. I was the only "Youth Camp" employee and doing things like installing bathroom hardware in the brand new cabins as this was to be the first year at this camp. I had nothing to do after work, so a full time employee at the camp lodge offered to lend me his spinning rod and the lure he had tied on. A Hula Popper. He gave it to me with no instructions. Although I had fished with worms almost every day of the summer for 8 years when I was a kid, I hadn't fished at all since the 8th grade. I was 26 years old at the time. I cast it out and just began reeling it in between some lily pads. I think a bass just absolutely exploded on that lure on my first cast. I caught many fish that summer by just reeling it in. No popping and waiting involved. Just plain cast and retrieve. As I look back on it, I would say it worked kind of like a buzzbait. Those top water explosions that summer hooked me but good! I'm pretty sure I was hooked after my first fish. I took my first paycheck and bought a spinning rod, some Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs, and an awesome topwater lure called a Sputterbug. Since the boxes had instructions on them, I did start fishing them as they were designed and suggested, but at times, I still ran the Hula Popper back on a straight retrieve... and it still worked that way too! Happy Holidays and have a blessed Christmas!

Noticed you were fishing with the new Lews Custom Pro. I am considering buying one and I am wondering what you think about the reel compared to other Lews reels and is it really worth 280?

For me it’s my first 3 pounder on the green pumpkin chatterbait at the golf course ponds me and my buddies found.

That was a really fun video Tyler, and a walk down memory lane for you for sure. Your delivery on this video was excellent. You really have a gift. Thank you for all you share with the fishing community. You are a great role model to all of us anglers and you make us laugh too. Merry Christmas!
