[@bwspacity]

No screaming, yelling or bashing others. hands down the best informative anglers on the planet.keep ripnlipz

[@BBFCFM]

Even a day of dinks is still a great day of fishing! Thanks for taking us along.

[@midwestfischerman]

I commend you guys for sustaining the extremely high quality of the BEST KZbin fishing channel!!! 🥇🏆 Tim and Matt, you guys strike the perfect mix of instructional videos, seasonal tutorials, product reviews and buyers guides, and videos like today; two buddies sharing time on the water to demonstrate and apply the knowledge you've shared throughout your channel elsewhere.🎣 Your blend of video topics is SPOT ON GENTLEMEN!!! There's a reason why my morning routine grinds to a halt at 5:30 AM Central Time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Your half million subscribers sure appreciate all that the two of you do. Thank you Matt and Tim!!!🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@c.shoefish]

Well said

[@kesterharding1819]

I couldn't agree more. Very well said.

[@donsisco7118]

I couldn't have said it better myself, Great Stuff 👊

[@vb9300]

rainy day, ham egg n cheese omelet, homemade hashbrowns, coffee and Tactical Bassin...what a way to start the morning

[@mikesherman1523]

Another great video!

[@fermoer3814]

Amazing how often it happens when you get to new water and it looks awesome, and you cannot wait to fish it, but it turns out quite disappointing….. Luckily sometimes it is completely the other way around! Ja well, that’s life🤷🏻‍♂️ Great video to have watched just after lunch. Thanks. (South Africa)

[@rdgsupafli]

Bought my license in January and haven’t gotten out yet need a new optimax 150 for my old bass boat hoping to get one in a couple weeks can’t wait. Shasta lake is getting full this year and weather will start coming in good for the reaction bite!

[@ljwldt]

Tim: don't laugh, still fun Matt behind Tim: he he he he he 😂

[@richardbailey2518]

Yall guys got the best KZbin for fishing ever mad me man I appreciate yall, yall have helped me get on some fish over the years but let me give you a tip that might be useful on color choice which what yall are using is working but this color might get you a few extra bites, ol monster zoom has a scuppernoge color and man is it mean in black water,,

[@richardbailey2518]

Thanks again for all yalls great advice💯👊

[@wilmerpruitt6324]

That looks like home. Good to see this kinda fishing!!

[@jasonrutherfordbassfishing]

Texas rigged ribbon tail… the basics always catch bass!

[@VinceNiergarth]

Love it when the boys fish together! Great video guys!👌🏼👌🏼

[@krisearley4689]

Crazy thing is I ordered the 7ft ag venom several months ago with the soloking acura planning on pairing them up. But as soon as I put the black knight 2 I already owned on the venom it has not come off. It is such a sexy combo. Just thought it was crazy you ended up doing the same.

[@michaelleady9089]

[@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper]

When your fishing around trees do you have to reel pretty quickly? There is a spot like this on Shasta Lake Max and I want to hit.

[@rocknreelnrod]

If it's a body of water in Florida , it has bass as well as alligators . Some of my biggest bass have come out of swamps .

[@Triple87]

Idk what those birds are laughing at but they need to mind their business. 😂

[@brandonyoung9297]

that looks like caddo lake in east texas , love yalls content keep up the hard work

[@unclecosmo5364]

Doesn't look like any place on Caddo that I've seen.

[@brandonyoung9297]

its similar cypress trees dark water swampy looking

[@andrewmyers3239]

See you guys fishing in a boat makes me want to cry. I'm up here in Wisconsin with hard water and a blizzard bearing down on us.

[@richardbossman9875]

Bass are great at being more mouth than body, I’ve caught bass with snakes in them longer than themselves.

[@midwestfischerman]

1st

[@jimworley4485]

Good to see you guys back on the boat fishing together. Love the all day fishing videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@projectj3494]

So… what lake is this??? Hoping you guys make it over to Santee Cooper in The near future.. should be fire in the next 3-4weeks when weather warms back up

[@victorxavier9977]

Exploring new water is always fun 😁👍

[@Tbowie13]

Man those crows are telling quite the story! I love hearing everything come to life in the spring. I've been hearing flocks of fired up hen turkeys, on Howard creek on Bull Shoals.

[@jwjones37]

Where is that? Almost looks like my old stomping grounds around Santee Cooper.

[@troycote4503]

To bad, it looks like a reaction bait would be the ticket. Still, your on the water, and I'm watching KZbin. Lol It's been a mild winter and there's people on the Cape already fishing.

[@DewDrinker87]

I notice you guys right hand reel on baitcasters. Do you right hand on spinning gear as well? Just wondering if its weird that I right hand baitcasters but left hand spinning.

[@clay7514]

Great video idea, looks like a fishy lake

[@jpoutdoors23]

Y’all should take a little trip down this way and fish Lake Eufaula, Lake Seminole, Tired Creek Lake, and Lake Talquin. The last 3 are all within about an hour of each other and all are very different fisheries from each other. Would love to see your approach to each.

[@1dt1971]

You never said what lake you were on. I'm in Alabama. I'm assuming you were either in Louisiana or Florida.

[@Huntermatt97]

You guys should come down to bussey Brake and Caney lake in North Louisiana! I've been a fan of TB since the start, we'd love to have ya'll down!

[@Bassassinator]

I was hitting em today in the South with 75° weather and Yum Dingers! I am going to fish with some BIG worms tommorow and see what happens. Thanks, from the Texas Bassassinator!

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

You guys are the best . Thanks again.

[@whitebeaner13]

You two just fishing on the boat together are my favorite episodes. Keep'em coming!

[@DavidWilliams-ic7sd]

I have been wondering why neither one of you hadn’t tried to get any bites with spinner baits? Maybe slow rolling different spinner baits, as I thought it was a over cast day? Sometimes could you even get shots of the areas where your fishing to help us build a visual reference of your thinking process? You both do such a great job in all of your videos I would like to see if you can help me better understand your thinking?

[@rhansen435]

My fishing has improved tremendously from watching your videos! Thank you👍

[@calvinreams6173]

Matt I noticed that you had a bobber stop a few inches up your line when you were throwing the 11 in worm. Why do you do that? Is it specific cover that leads you to do this?

[@paulenglish1741]

Yeah, I am plowing snow ❄️ and it's 1° today. I won't be frog fishing anytime soon!!!

[@darekchildress7648]

You guys have to hit up Newton lake in Illinois... flipping glor

[@BassAddictofficial]

South caroline? Gotta be nice fishing in shorts in a cypress swamp right now!

[@glxbe]

you guys are always pretty serious and professional during your videos and explanations, it would be cool to see a blooper reel or something of all the times something crazy happens

[@okiefish7066]

these fish down south dont know anything about them fancy baits yall be throwin in california.

[@bruuuce78]

Love the sounds of nature…best background music there is!

[@josephacker5716]

Are those frogs croaking or gators croaking in the background?

[@B_Deucefishing]

Makes my heart rate go up when I’m in trees like that but always worth it !

[@jos3mejia]

Have you guys tried the jenko bfs rod yet?

[@slimbidious]

Im one of those guys still drilling holes through 18 inches of ice.

[@smoovefishing]

It was 70 today in Tennessee might should have stayed here lol

[@tagg946]

this in texas? kinda looks like florida but also doesnt. anyone have any ideas?

[@johnabbottiv402]

Why do you not disclose the body of water you are fishing?

[@tnbassmaster]

Have you guys ever considered fishing the opens? Or MLF and Filming the journey ?

[@tacticalbassin]

We gave that up when we committed to teaching. What we do is all about telling the truth and giving away our hard-earned secrets. Tournament fishing is all about keeping an upper hand, learning new secrets, and protecting them. Many anglers are trying to do both right now but the two paths are complete opposites. You can't keep winning at tournaments and be telling everyone how to do it. We are committed to holding nothing back, teaching everyone to fish, and watching others take that information to the tournament scene. 👍🏼

[@tnbassmaster]

@@tacticalbassin and we all appreciate that! But no doubt you would excel!

[@oldtoad76]

Poor little guy got his face rearranged!

As usual precise and accurate.

[@blainebennett3253]

would the dobyns sierra Series Casting rod 7'6" Med Hvy 765 be a rod i could use for the s-waver 168

[@jimwarden9617]

I always enjoy the days on the lake with you two.

[@maxcole3930]

I know exactly what you mean about moving & exploring new lakes! I've lived my entire life in southwest OH just north of Cincinnati. We moved down here to southern SC about year n half ago. Largmouth bass fishing is much better down here!!! I'm constantly exploring new lakes/ rivers, large ponds, ext myself & on Google Earth. So many good spots I've found & few of them I've never seen anyone else there & I'm catching 5-8lb largmouth in these spots! I keep them to myself for now. Still so many places I have marked on Google Earth I still have yet to check out in person

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Knew it was a tough start when Matt had a t-mac tied on ..

[@Saber_Outdoors]

Well I tried speed cranking and didn't get bit. I didn't realize it would be a killer on my shoulder. Granted I was using a 10:1 reel so should I back down to a 7:1 or 8:1?

[@nickbosworth6388]

I appreciate this video so much…I live in texas and its been 80+ degrees for the past 3 days…I got sunburned today lol(it doesn’t feel like winter down here at all🤣)…but like you said there are different phases in different places all over the country and I appreciate you guys making sure you cover all your bases for all your viewers…I absolutely hammered some pre spawners today moving up thanks to your videos on how to fish pre spawn bass…so thank you 🙏

[@c.shoefish]

Can y'all try to do a video about breaking down a lake with TONS of docks? I recently moved to NY and the lake I've been primarily fishing out in NJ (Lake Hopatcong) is just littered with docks, I know there's fish there, but it's pretty damn overwhelming. Another great video guys, thanks.

[@tacticalbassin]

Search "tacticalbassin dock fishing" we have older videos on this exact subject and teach how to do it very efficiently.

[@c.shoefish]

@@tacticalbassin awesome. I must've missed that one. Thanks again. I am still relatively new to bass fishing and fresh water in general. I have primarily fished saltwater my entire life.

[@richardblake4777]

There's always magic when you go to new places and fun to figure out a pattern. I so envy you guys and the life you live. I went to a private reservoir with a friend today and we caught around 50 in 5 hours and had a blast. I'm 81 and my friend is 83 and we're both blessed with good health. They were schooling in 54 degree water that was lightly stained. White spinner baits was the star. Sure enjoy your videos, best on Utube by a long shot.

[@betaniaartes7055]

Muito bom vidio

[@joshuamacias3957]

more video's like this please it looks so freaking cool fishing those cypress trees and down south period being from California love you guys thanks for the content Tim and Matt I've learned so much from yawl.

[@sbaner5]

Go ahead guys. I want to see you go ice fishing. I'm not part of that group, but it would be fun watching you freeze and out of your element.

[@michaelspanos269]

when you fish a new fishery for the first time and no map is available, do you typically record your own map as you're fishing?

[@brandonsmith606]

Am I the only one screaming topwater at my phone?

[@LiveBassFishing]

That was a fun one. I love trying to figure out new water. What a cool-looking place to fish.

[@Mjones8383]

Do the comments by Randy Blaukat on how you guys aren't true bass fishermen because you use FFS bother you. I made the comment that TB was the best channel for a guy to learn about bass fishing, and Randy said he wasn't impressed or recommended TB because you guys weren't real fishermen because of livescope. I tried to answer back and he banned me. He bans anyone who disagrees with him to inflate his ego and feel like the majority of fishermen hate livescope

[@tacticalbassin]

No, his opinions are silly and focused on drumming up drama, not something we're interested in. Unfortunately a lot of people flock to drama but that's not how we operate... let's all just go fishing and move on 👍🏼

[@alphazeke]

Reeling with the wrong hand!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Clay! That was a really rough time but you can't let those times keep you down. We regrouped, healed, and did the trip again as a family. That was what I needed to get my mind right and carry on. We appreciate the support and hope you continue to enjoy the content!

Nicely done. A great edit for sure.

[@shootincoyotes]

Maybe I missed something but are the Champion boats still around?

[@tacticalbassin]

Yes they are. Our boats are aging and the road miles are destroying them. Tim's is in for a full restoration right now and mine is waiting its turn. We had to do something before those unicorns couldn't be saved!

[@mohtashim5]

It seems so eerie listening to the crows in the background. Living and fishing in Canada, you get so used to the geese honking in your ears constantly. Really love the content guys! Quick question, what line would you guys use if you only had one rod for both jerkbait and topwater?

[@tacticalbassin]

20-30 lb braid and then tie leaders as needed 👍🏼

[@thenigga3374]

I'm from Louisiana and I'll tell you what, every body of water has fish in it. You can walk through the woods and catch bass out of a hog wallow that's knee deep at the most and only 40 square feet.
