Fishing Cold Water Crankbaits For Big Winter Bass

[@bdaquatics7584]

Texas parks and wildlife just stocked our river with 2500 rainbow trout. So while everyone was using an ultralight rod with powerbait dough I was dragging a Huddleston trout on my massive swimbait set up. I caught 2 GIANTS too lol shout out to Matt for sharing the knowledge💯✊✊

Where you at...I'm in Granbury I want some daggum trout bad never caught one

@@BrandonBReelKillerFishn you saying you wouldn't throw a swimbait over there? ya know to pass the time while you're trout fishing haha

The swimbait swimjig works bouncing bottom slow..Thanks Matt as well.

It’s great watching you guys fish and all the info you provide. It might be just me, but on just fishing days like this is it possible for you guys to show your graph and how you set up on a spot?

[@johnnythepillpopper1974]

Let’s go fishing! I’m in shorts right now, but let’s go. I’m right there in the boat with you ,Bro

[@caseywebb5178]

Flip flops and big bass .. dude you truly are a badass fisherman

[@johnhancock517]

I love it when they hit right at your feet. Best adrenaline rush EVER!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Wow. What a cat!!! All those bass look so healthy and plump! Thanks for sharing.

Keeping it Cali with the flip flops...... Pretty much the the mascot!.........

43 degrees and Matt's in flip flops. You beast. 😆

[@John_D2]

43* and cuz has on flip flops. This FL boy couldn’t hack that. 😆 Nice fish , Matt 🎣

[@larryd3403]

so great to hear i can catch bass with my spro cranks all winter!!

[@Mr2rojan]

Went and bought a couple of those crankbaits, had to wait nearly 3 weeks before the backorder finally was filled. Absolutely love those things! They cast so nicely and I definitely got some bites, on a new lake that I've never fished before. Keep up the good work guys!

[@Mr2rojan]

I should also add a huge thank you as well, in prior years I had only ever really been a passable angler, catching whatever bit my worm and bobber but this year I caught some absolutely beautiful fish and just simple fact, more fish overall than any 5 previous years combined. Thank you!

[@conniebennett6646]

Thank you for the time stamps at intervals in vid. When we that don't have great skills and experience watch fishing vids and see people catching fish after fish in a 15 min vid it's very discouraging when we fish all day without one fish. Your time stamps help keep a reference to just how long u crank and how much patience is required. Thank you!

[@MrJudicater]

When you set the hook at 13:38 and the rod just stops. When I'm bass fishing and hook a big catfish or drum, the heart rate goes to another level until I see the fish. Nice video! LOVING the time lapse pop-ups. "30 minutes later" etc. Really keeps things in perspective and helps tell the "story" of how the day is going.

[@arr0w_sniper415]

Water temp in ohio, 40 today, got a 14in crappie at 40ft and that was it, nice video Matt !

[@lstaples007]

Unreal... blown away by the numbers and the size, like 5 of those Larry's would've been new PB for me... I've got mine coming shortly, Happy Holidays! Thx TB

[@OPENPEEPER]

Merry Christmas🎄🎁 to the Tactical Bassin Family. May their always be bass under your lily pad. Tight lines!

[@raycedennen5891]

Just want to say thank you for sharing this technique. I tried it this weekend on a small lake. We fished every bait we could think of with no luck. It was a shallow lake so I used a Berkeley Bad Shad. 8.5 ft diver within 20 mins i had landed 3 fish. Fished 4 1/2 hours prior to that. I'm sold on burning them. Burn burn burn short pause, worked like a champ. Almost every o e of them hit on the pause, or just after you started the move again. It was awesome. Can't wait to try this more.

[@christopher9076]

Merry Christmas to Matt, Tim, their families, as well as all of my TacticalBassin family!!!

[@pjr.6664]

Right on Matt.... Was thinking of hitting Los Banos creek res after xmas... Thanks for the winter tactics..

[@KenSmithFishing]

I watch your videos and as a Rayburn guy I can't imagine what it's like to turn the boat 180 degrees and no other boats come into view.... i do that and they'll be 20!

[@hunterstephenson9979]

The curve 55 will hammer them. I lost a DD at the boat today on one, never would have picked one up if not for your videos thanks guys!!

[@mickmaples]

Matt....LOVE your vids and learn SO much from them. Thank you (and Tim) for being so open and such great teachers. I will be just a touch critical here, in that, it looks like you started off running without your life jacket on. I might be wrong, and if so, I'm sorry for calling it out. I survived a horrific boat accident in Aug. and so I'm particularly observant to that. Love your channel. Keep 'em coming. Big fan!

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

Just getting to this video after my Christmas break. After watching you crush those tanks, I sure am glad I ordered 4 of those Cranks!!! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

[@mikeseal7075]

Man good job Matt I could wake up to this every morning thanks for taking us along hope you and Tim rest of the tactical family have a wonderful holiday God bless

I know Tim enjoys fishing from the bank. A review video of one of the castable fish finders would be a sweet video I’m on the fence about buying one

4 stops 5 miles and 3 minutes and a few nice bass later he caught Christmas dinner NICE CATFISH

[@jacoblewis3353]

as much as I LOVE watching you guys catch monsters it is encouraging to see even the teachers don't catch them EVERY cast all the time. love the realism and "struggle" of winter fishing you showed in this video!

[@jacobwallfishing]

Matt I'm more impressed by the fact your still rocking the flip flops 😝

[@completetuningsolutions]

Nice chunks, that catfish was a nice touch

[@stevevoelker2733]

lol - 42 degrees with coveralls and flip flops

[@fishingva9946]

What are you casting to? Is it a hump or a ledge? I feel like you're holding a lot of this information back that we really need

[@caderudiger4038]

Fishing VA not everything gets handed to you. Go fish and figure that out. They let you know plenty to get you pointed in the right direction. Buy some crank baits and go figure out what kinda structure they wanna be on where you fish

[@mrkmkr99]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX3RaYqnirefkNU There is such a wealth of information in these videos collectively. Take some time to explore a few of the titles you think might apply to your circumstances. I think you will find they are very forthcoming and hold nothing back.

[@patricksmith8281]

Awesome video thanks for the info with the big crankbaits and for those two people that didn't like that video y'all obviously do not fish

[@handyallaround5776]

this is better than most fishing shows on tv, however, it would be alot more helpful if you described structure , depth like a tv show

[@jehill87]

Great video. Just got all but 1 of my DD 75 in headed to lake to try them out. Going to be in 70 here around lake fork.

[@mxbass1036]

I really like this kind of video. I should be getting my tactical crank anyday now. Merry Christmas guys and thanks for all the great content this year.

‘We’re not gonna blank today.” Such confidence. I love it. My kind of weather, too, almost, since it did not snow and rain on you, Matt. So sad I could not make it over this year. 2020 for sure! P.S. your boat looks fantastic!

Thanks Matt n Tim, it’s been a great year putting your tips into action. Merry Christmas to your families and to your wonderful selves!

Wow!!! Looks like my wallet is gonna get thinner! Luckily I have a Diawa Fuego 8:1, and, a 13, 7’6”, 7’9”& my tried and true 7’3” MH! Heading to Tennessee 1/1/21. I’ll be mostly finesse fishing. But, I think ill dig a few deep crankbaits outta my tackle box and bring em with for good measure! Very compelling video! Intriguing. A must try technique! Cheers!

[@aaronfortner6582]

Merry Christmas guys! Would love to hear or see more about the structure and or cover you are fishing.

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

when you so good you know what fish is hitting your bait.. dam yes master jedi fisherman.

[@GGAMBIT]

the Foot swipe on the net gave me chills lol

[@mikemcd8408]

Some great fish, Matt! I have to point out, though - you were pretty adamant in your cold water cranking how-to video that we should burn the crank just as fast as possible - "burn, pause, burn-burn-burn, pause"... but none of the catches in this video happened with you burning it. I know with any bait you have to try different speeds and cadences until you find what they like on a particular day, but you were so specific in that other video that you weren't working the crank slow. Still really enjoyed watching your catches - eventually I AM going to catch a fish on one of these tactical cranks (nothing but-strike outs, so far). Merry XMas to you and the family! (And Tim & his family, if he reads the comments.)

[@richgebhardt7960]

His first fish he was burning it with the crank. It may not look like it but he is using a fast reel so the bait is moving fast.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Mike. Its VERY misleading because I was using an "XG" reel which is an 8:1 ratio. That crank is going really, really fast.

[@Jon-nz3dm]

I'm not sure what you mean, what I saw throughout this video was pretty dang fast reeling with a 7:1 or higher reel(8:1 as Matt says above) with pauses. Reeling that fast even with a 6.3:1 is a pretty good pace for cranking, so 8:1 that bait is flying when he's reeling that fast.

[@LeatherNeck1833]

@@Jon-nz3dm Agreed; I was actually think he might have been moving too fast. As the video shows though, he wasn't and the fish were on it.

[@mikeseal7075]

Why hell that ol fish jumped in the boat when he seen Matt to keep from getting one of them freight train hook sets 🚂🎣
