12 lb Bass while filming a TV Show??? Story of Matt's Biggest Limit Ever!

Catching a 51 pound limit for 5 bass is an experience of a lifetime. Doing it with a camera crew while filming for Trev Gowdy's Monster Fish was insane! To top it off, the day before they had a 25+ limit of smallmouth bass!
What Gear did we use?
Spro BBZ-1 Floater: bit.ly/2cU1x5P
8" Huddleston Swimbait: bit.ly/2azFTon
Rod- Dobyns 807: bit.ly/2aivwYX
Reel- Calcutta 400B: bit.ly/2b6NX0d
Line- 80 lb Braid: bit.ly/2aFg46b
Leader-25 lb Maxima Ultragreen: bit.ly/2ae97J9
Scale Used: bit.ly/2f7QgQ9
Net Used: bit.ly/2dh9xQP
Camera Used: bit.ly/2iwZqqU
The number one question we get asked is can you see the show? It still airs from time to time but we don't have a hard copy of it. Be sure to record "Monster Fish" if you want to see it!
We were so blessed to catch even one giant bass on a swimbait but to catch a huge limit, and in only 3 hours was truly amazing! Trev Gowdy also go the biggest bass of his life that day. If you ever get the chance to fish big swimbaits , give it a try, you just never know what could happen!

Matt, lucky we both met and once in a lifetime lightning does strike. Great making a new friend in you, great fishing with you and most importantly having the time to get to know you better. You are a credit to the bass fishing industry and also one of the nicest persons I have ever fished with. Memories my friend that we can share and keep the rest of our lives...........and yes Matt, when I said lets get a 10 after your 9.7? That was a great joke and you should of seen your face!. To all bass guys reading this, this guy is one helluva swim bait fisherman...........hence why I called him the swimbait king! God bless you Matt and miss ya bros!! your pal, Trev Gowdy

[@tacticalbassin]

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Jason! We really appreciate the support!

[@saltwatercowboy1982]

I just subscribed to your channel! I really like the way you explain things like how to rig a swim bait and keep it on the fishing and not cursing and acting crazy so the whole family can watch.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks so much for subscribing! We really appreciate it!!!

[@galva777tx]

Key word "Blessed" thanks for sharing that awesome story.

Thanks Brother! Right time, right place, perfect scenario.

[@lakeishadade4049]

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks!

[@mr.edmiston6725]

Some sick background and current vids on that tournament would be awesome. I feel like that tournament doesn't have the coverage it deserves. Even some background on the tournament. Just a vid idea!

[@tacticalbassin]

We're not fishing it. We've both (at least for the time being) given up the tournament scene to focus on Matt's guiding and building Tacticalbassin. Its just too much to do it all.

[@yingyang803]

Matt you and Tim are Awesome man. Love what you guys do every week on Tactical Bassin for us fishermen. Keep them up guys. I'm ready for the next video.

[@tacticalbassin]

[@smbonna]

I like going back and watching your old content as I have not been a sub for very long, But you guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Anyway while watching this story. The episode of the show monster fish posed up in my recommended videos to watch. so I just watch the full episode of the show. Monster Fish episode 54. good stuff Matt.

[@tacticalbassin]

That's actually a new, re-edited version of it that just surfaced recently. Crazy!

[@smbonna]

Yeah I thought it was crazy that it was in my feed. But also thought you should know it is on youtube.. Still a good watch to go along with your story.

[@im_smizzed]

It was crazy!!!

[@scottspilman7580]

Matt here is a link to the episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIWtlKqIltaojKOIhanks for all the great videos I have learned so much from you guys about bass fishing. I grew up fishing saltwater in TX but have moved to Nebraska, so I have had to learn new techniques. Your videos have shortened my learning curve and given me better than average results so far. Thanks and keep up the great work..

[@TheFishingExperience916]

Matt you got passion, enthusiasm and I can see the determination and experience some say luck over skills but I say all you need is a Matt Allen on your boat if I ever get a chance I would come to clear lake or wherever and have a 55 pound bag experience with you and tim little keep it up!

[@tacticalbassin]

Come on out Brother! And thank you for supporting us!

[@timmose6628]

When you run outta stories. Walk us through those world record awards on the wall, sure everyone's. interested in that.

[@tacticalbassin]

Yeah buddy! Great idea!

[@5khop]

[@tacticalbassin]

We're trying to find it but no luck yet. It airs once in a while still but doesn't seem to be anywhere online.

Not sure what group we mentioned but its no where near Pardee if that helps.

[@mcvideo8686]

ok thanks was thinking amador

[@telefunkenyou47]

The stories are my favorite. I never get tired of hearing about fishing adventures. I used to say, "It's not about numbers, its about experiences." but now I'll have to add, "Unless you experience numbers." And hearing about your fishing friends is really cool too. Its like a who's who of the Ca. scene. That was selfless act by Sig

[@tonyhernandez2483]

nice story bro I really enjoy these videos

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Tony!
