**Insane Underwater Footage** Fish Attacking Lures And Bass Fishing Tips!

Watch these bass attacking all kinds of lures! They're ambushing jigs, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and even topwater! We're studying their behavior to understand what makes them lash out. When we know what causes them to let one lure pass by and then suddenly eat the next, we can adapt our fishing. Studying underwater footage will make you a better angler and let's face it, watching a giant bass explode on a Whopper Plopper is pretty fun too!
Triggering a feed response is more than just using the right lures, its knowing what it takes to get a fish to feed. Its amazing to see the similarities regardless of the lure. The same hop of a jig that causes the bass to lash out with fool a mid column fish when you twitch the jerkbait. There is something about that break in cadence, that extra twitch or hop, that causes those fish to lash out.
Below you'll find links to all the baits in the video. We've included the exact colors we were using along with any upgrades, including hooks on the S-Waver and trailers on the jigs. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

[@seanwood4032]

As a commercial diver I spent a ton of time underwater. To reiterate when fish are fired up they truly don't care this story happened numerous times over my bottom time on a specific project. A couple years ago I was working on ky lock and dam extending the previous lock and building a new one. I was underwater as a man that's 6'2 200 lbs directing a crane underwater next to the concrete of the lock wall with a 20,000 lb. Load with all sorts of tools lights bubbles and just plain noise. Multiple times I've seen some shad scream past my face (mind you I could only see about 1ft. In front of my face) and a bass in hot pursuit eating. Like I didn't exist nor did the giant spreader beam with a load attached to it. When they're fired up and want to eat its like they have no choice and just do it. nothing will spook or stop them. In time where I was standing by underwater I would flip rocks find crawdads and hand feed smallmouth it was wild.

[@DaCrazyIrishMan]

I feel like you need a youtube channel! That sounds awesome!!!

[@seanwood4032]

You would never be able to see neither can I like i said. I could only see 1 ft... 95% of the time you can't even see your hand on your face. Literally ultimate black darkness.

[@Lbz_on_crack]

Crazy experience

[@peterrivera5235]

Yes I would watch your channel I want more stories of your underwater experiences

[@fishing_amy]

cool experience

[@H8er-Maker]

The underwater footage is 100% educational for anyone that's wondered what's goin around thier lure. The jig hop was the most intriguing for me, I usually drag it without popping it up. I feel like I actually learned sumthing substantial that I could apply. Thanks

[@vamp9190]

Wow, amazing!!! People probably don't realize all of the setup, prep, time, and effort that goes into getting this incredible footage. Thank you for creating some of the best non-Discovery channel content ever filmed.

[@quill1260]

Well said Vamp9190.

[@Jp-zm4wq]

Dude please shut up lol don’t be such a brown nose

[@capybara853]

This is animal planet worthy

[@egomaniac247]

This is by far THE most technical bass fishing channel on youtube. Other channels are just entertainment, you guys are educational.

[@SubtleStorm]

As a new bass fisherman, this is legitimately fascinating.

[@IdiotWithEducation]

Look at the environment and their behavior, this will help you a lot in where to find and catch them!

[@BSVFR]

Same

[@toddmontondo364]

Same..

[@bilalsaloojee532]

As a not so new bass fisherman, this is still as fascinating

[@shrimp_phillips2899]

agreed

[@thatirishasian]

What I found most interesting is the lack of reaction from the other bass while the hooked fish was fighting. I always assumed the struggle tended to spook them away.

[@illinoisangling1677]

Genuinely, Matt and Tim have changed my perspective on fishing in general. This channel is easily one of the most informative, and the underwater footage really bettered my understanding of how to work different baits, pause time, etc. I do more fishing for steelhead and salmon than anything else, but bass fishing is getting more and more fun for me. Not to mention, the videos aren’t only informative for me, but also super entertaining!

[@danham3344]

I agree with Vamp 9190. The amount of work that must be involved with getting this kind of footage, and then into getting the video completed is certainly appreciated. Thanks Matt & Tim for your amazing content!

[@henryharrington6981]

Isn’t it crazy how his intro line is the exact same and perfect pitch every time it blows my mind!

[@jasonstallings1837]

Matt, your enthusiasm for fishing is incredible and contagious. Thank you for sharing this footage and all the knowledge that you have shared.

[@guyb5333]

You are definitely the king of bass fishing videos. Love the underwater stuff. I also really appreciate the in-depth videos discussing lures, equipment, when and where based on water conditions, the weather and the season. Keep up the good work.

[@BorealHiker]

Love it. Cadence! Matt , Tim...You guys are awesome; incredible content. Pumped up for sure! I geek out over the underwater footage which = fishing knowledge. Thank you.

The underwater videos are always the most interesting videos to compound everybody’s fishing IQs

[@kyleadams1215]

Exactly man, helps get that picture in your head

[@83jbbentley]

@@kyleadams1215 I think one of the best things I did was using a GoPro underwater and watch bass behavior. Check out Nature of Fishing that guys knowledge is insane.

[@kyleadams1215]

Both of em are geniuses when it comes to bass fishing, just dont understand why they aren't pro, they even have there own baits through river2sea on tackle warehouse

[@tacticalbassin]

@Kyle we've got families. Professional tournament angling is an insane time commitment to life on the road. Its stressful, nothing is guaranteed, and you're constantly racing to the next lake. We get to be home most of the time, travel with our families, share the journey with everyone and teach as we go. We like this lifestyle better 👍

[@kyleadams1215]

@@tacticalbassin I understand that man family first!!! Love yalls videos, you guys should do the fish donkey online tournaments they are fun also all by your phone and your own location!!! Keep the videos coming, just got a big package of the tactical DD cant wait to try em out this weekend

Tactical bassinet is one of the most underrated channels on KZbin

Keep it going guys been following for years and love the non biased brands y’all speak the truth and much appreciated

[@brandonenke2680]

@2:27 That alpha bass took a steam crap before taking the bait and its the funniest thing ever lol

[@jaredlachance348]

Awesome stuff guys as usual, love the underwater videos 😊good luck this year Matt,Tim and family and everyone else out there!

[@DFWdarin]

i learned something for sure. Ive been bass fishing since age 6 and seeing that bass blast the other one over envy I was amazed. That is why I never miss a video. Thank You Matt and Tim for all your hardwork. I know this video is older but I scroll through the videos you have posted to find the ones i haven't seen yet just because watching your content has made me able to target and catch big bass more then small bass nowadays. You guys really know bass fishing.

[@CanadianBasserman]

Gotta love the underwater vids!! Angry bass equals a lot of fun!!

You're awesome bro. As a rookie, you've stepped my game up tremendously in just this last month. I've caught 15 bass. I'm hooked, lol. God bless bro.

[@dirkwhite9008]

Thanks for sharing Matt. That was awesome !!!!!

[@armandorjusino]

Literally immersed watching those shark alike bass strikes, those underwater shots are in NG level, you can see the action and even the sound involved. The size of those bass are breathtaking, thank you for sharing that amazing footage sir, btw just subd.

Good stuff Matt! 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 Thanks for the tips my friend!

[@dkinfishing]

Good way to start the morning 👏🏾

[@mindobersaglia3374]

What I noticed is that they wait until the baits head is facing away from them for a perfect ambush ! Good stuff.

[@glennkoerber1136]

Another absolutely marvelous video of underwater actions by bass. It really helps to see the fish reactions to a bait. You are right about getting in the practice of "one more" as I've visually watched fish take one of my lures just as I was about to speed it up for recovery. I've seen bass take for example a spinnerbait 3-5 feet from the boat or shore because I believe I was keeping the speed steady all the way until I had to pull it up. I think sometimes they are so close to us and we just don't know it. Varying speed or a final twitch or two are also good practices with the best rule of thumb being "stay with your cast all the way until you have to pull out the lure." I know I have to be as committed to each and every cast as a bass commits itself when it decides to strike. That's the best way for me to catch more fish. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication to bringing us these awesome incredible underwater videos (as with all your vids) and your accurate information with them. Take care, stay safe and great fishing to you.

Hi Matt, thanks for another awesome video! Your videos are amazing and I've learned so much watching them. I have a request though.. I know it would be a lot of extra work, but is there any way that you could put a camera showing the rod tip synced with the lure action? I find myself wondering how much rod movement is giving how much action underwater. Thanks for all of your content, you are the best on KZbin hands down! (Upvote if you agree and would like to see this as well)
