Most Insane Underwater Bass Fishing Footage Ever!! GoPro Footage of Giant Bass Eating Lures!

Ever wondered what it looks like when schools of giant fish start fighting over a lure? Do they really fight over who will eat it first? Let's go underwater and see!
These largemouth bass are fighting over our jerkbaits to be the first one to bite! This wolfpack of fish is so crazy they'll bite over and over again! We had one bass nearly 7 lb bite 4 different times before getting hooked!
This isn't filmed in a bass pond either, these are real bass filmed from a boat during the most insane bite ever!
We were very lucky to have the equipment to go underwater and film these bass striking lures over and over. This is probably the most insane underwater bass footage ever filmed with a GoPro so we hope you enjoy it! We even had bass crashing into and trying to eat the GoPro!
What were the bass eating? Here is the equipment used...
Jerkbait: bit.ly/tbpointer
Split rings: bit.ly/2aTH3f1
Hooks: bit.ly/2cVg7xW
Line: bit.ly/2aaBBDX
Camera Used: bit.ly/2RsLpjB
Bass are very predatory and when they begin to school up the jerkbait is a great lure to catch them. The key is the combination of sound and sharp movement. This triggers the bass' predatory nature and they lash out violently, even when they aren't hungry.
Be sure and try a jerkbait on your next fishing trip! They're great for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass and work throughout the year, even for pond bass fishing!

[@czykrepublic4323]

Wow, amazing footage! It's crazy that jerkbait trebles can get hooked on anything they touch when in the boat, but these fish can inhale and spit them out like there's no hooks on them.

[@nathanrue2694]

CZYK Republic I was thinking the same thing. I hook myself better with the treble hooks then these bass were.

[@that_boom_dude]

CZYK Republic make a good case for using reverse barb hooks

[@tacticalbassin]

We should probably have mentioned we rolled the points so we could get better shots of them eating it. Its amazing any of them got hooked at all!

[@kingmajesty4534]

Love the video ! So much to learn from these footage ! Great job guys keep it coming .

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bro!

[@kennethsteward155]

Now this was the best visual experience that ANY fisherman wants to SEE! I am a visual person by nature and I am at work in the Geometric shaped building in D.C. shaking my head at how unreal that was to watch!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write Kenneth!

[@MadJDMTurboBoost]

Every building is a geometric shaped building....

[@rhurac5096]

MadJDMTurboBoost lmao

[@Wired2Fish]

Absolutely terrific gentleman - no easy feat getting this type of footage. Great commentary as well!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you guys!!! We appreciate you taking the time to comment! It was a battle to get this stuff for sure but we were blessed to have the opportunity.

[@TylersReelFishing]

This stuff pretty much beats all my underwater stuff, which for me to say, is big haha! Nice job Matt and Tim!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks bud, really appreciate you saying that! But let's be real, The success of one inspires another... we've got a lot to thank you for!

[@timothyreyna1444]

IM STILL SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL

[@theroadjack3437]

great video! I'm in the market for my first bass boat, I'm 18 and it's kinda new to me I haven't found much info on it but could y'all possibly do a video on purchasing your first boat and what you will need for it and what not?

[@tacticalbassin]

Definitely!

[@theroadjack3437]

thank you looking forward to it!

[@Andrewmk86]

Would love your opinion about mini bass boats if you are covering the topic.

[@Enough_Tumbleweed]

Really it probably boils down to how much and what kind of fishing you plan on doing. Do you fish everyday, once a week, tournament fish, recreational fish, etc. You could probably find a Tracker or a nitro for a pretty decent price tag just for recreational fishing. (Like 4k or so) My first boat was a tracker or team 175 and I love it. May be a legit option for you as well. But I wouldn't go spending 20k and up on a boat for a lawn ornament though. Just my 2cents. Good luck on finding one, I hope Matt and Tim can guide you the right way. 👍

[@Enough_Tumbleweed]

*pro team 175

[@osageoutdoorz1019]

This footage is something to learn from, goes to show you that the action and cadence can provoke that reaction strike even though they may not me hungry. Thanks for sharing guys!!!

[@r0btimUs0341]

put a piece of tape over the flashing light. tactical camo

[@tacticalbassin]

LOL! Where were you when we were filming????

[@bryangarcia9769]

There's a setting to turn the flashing light off

[@gaijillahimself908]

ikr why not just cover it up? It would have been even more amazing!

[@frankb1069]

Watching underwater footage is so awesome.

[@OscarOutdoors]

MAN, YOU CAN LEARN EAVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BY OBSERVING A CREATURE! AWESOME.

[@Andysfishing]

I totally agree with how fast you strike. I have some Barramundi fishing strikes that are lightning fast, in and out in a fraction of a second! Many people tell me I strike too fast, they have no idea. Also unbelievable that fish can eat so many times and not get hooked, but I see it all the time. Great video.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Andy! We're jealous... barramundi is at the top of our wish list!

[@Hiei1029]

That was sick guys! Seriously this channel is one of the best on KZbin. Yes please keep going with the underwater footage. You learn a lot from it. Is it possible that not all bass school up in every lake? There is one lake near me that has giants for Pennsylvania but it's a grind. They have so much baitfish. Does that affect how they bite?

[@tacticalbassin]

There are definitely lakes that school and lakes that don't but typically the more bait, the more they school. When they're driving bait balls they have to work as a group to be effective.

[@fatbackfishing9789]

Jarred Monaco I agree too with you.It is one of the best on youtube.Check out fatback fishing when you have time.We pride ourselves in good fishing as well.Not as good as these guys yet though.

[@joenahay5922]

Haha i luv how enthusiastic these guys are and how much of dorks they are about it lol

[@mksouthon9508]

The description was no lie! That was insane.

[@sophisticatedfunk6317]

+AMonkSoHurt . Sorry i have to disagree with you. I think the footage was professionally shot and very sane, i fail to see why filming underwater is insane. What a strange little man?

[@moncorp1]

I think he meant the way the fish were striking genius.

[@basshooker689_3]

By far, the best underwater bass video ever....no lie. You guys rock!

[@mr.fatbasstard648]

Temperature, turbidity, structure and cover! I'm guessing that area is not the Sanctuary but definitely the Grocery Store!!! Were you able to check the ph and oxygen level? Judging from the turbidity, cover and activity I am guessing this area is often subject to wind and some light and is not a deep sanctuary. Would say this is a seasonal movement and not the daily temporal movement of that particular School of Badasses. Not surprised the big shy girls are staying down low with the camera and boat present. Noticed how each individual appears to momentarily head back to cover after a strike until they realize they got nothing in their mouth. Hard to believe some seasoned anglers think bass are dumb fish! They're not dumb, they are a killing machine and every instinctive predator gets itself into trouble on occasion.

[@davelindsay6949]

Good info thanks.

[@moncorp1]

@Mr. FAtBasstard ~ what would you use the ph and oxygen level tests for?

[@mr.fatbasstard648]

moncorp1 ideal levels of pH and Dissolved Oxygen make bass very comfortable enabling them to stay aggressive for longer periods of time. Bass control their body pH and ion levels through urination. When pH and DO levels are out of kilter then bass tend to shut way down. pH and DO levels are not critical to finding and catching fish now that we have sonar, underwater cameras and explosives. lol I was just curious if they went so far has to test the water. I have my own testers but haven't taken them down from the shelf in the years. I hear some Tournament Anglers still use them though.

[@amandahelvey1198]

Thanks for the video. I just started fishing about a year ago and am not very good at it. My boyfriend tried to help, but seeing videos like this help a lot because they let me know what the fish are doing and how to use the baits.

[@aogoesfishing9579]

Been a subscriber for years now, you guys are really stepping it up. Very impressed. Inspired me to start my own little KZbin channel "AO goes fishing"... more a VLOG than actual tips and techniques, but I digress... you guys are paving the way!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Brother! And good luck on your journey!

[@sophisticatedfunk6317]

+AO goes fishing . please don't bother. Do we really need anymore frustrated wanna be a celebrity TV fisherman. In today's world we have enough fishing shows on TV to satisfy every kind of angler. Even better is the fact theyre from all around the world. Those that truly enjoy fishing couldn't give a flying fuck about bigging themselves up. But i suppose it's the same mentality that killed large fish to stick in glass cases.

[@aogoesfishing9579]

Well, everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion and I will respect yours. FWIW, I am just telling my story (mainly for family and friends who like to keep up with me) and enjoying two hobbies of mine: fishing and photography. What is wrong with that? I certainly have no illusions of becoming a "celebrity TV fisherman". I do this for fun... The beauty of KZbin is that if you don't want to watch, don't click the link. Good luck and enjoy your adventures, whatever they may be...

[@Itsteeg]

Wow what an ass ^ good luck to you and your channel AO goes fishing, I subscribed 👍🏻

[@jamesskill4991]

sophisticated funk dam that was the stupidest thing I've read all day. when did you get so good at knowing what people want to see

[@oldhickory3028]

You guys are the only ones I know that catch this kind of footage thank you for sharing it with us.

[@danepinkston]

How you guys don't have 200K+ subscribers I have no idea.

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! Its all good, we'll get there. Thanks Dane!

[@eduardocerna193]

They are so beautiful tho and fun to catch

[@JeremieJ]

This is next level footage! Getting to see how they react to the jerkbaits movement is great! I just picked up my first LC Pointer 100 now I need it to warm up a bit lol. Making me want to go spend $25 on a Vision 110 lol!

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! This was all shot with a pointer 100 Ghost Minnow, you made a good buy!

[@fordtuff1965]

probably the best underwater footage I have ever seen. its crazy how one fish can get them all to frenzy like that. insane. thanks for the video. would love to see underwater footage on any other baits.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you! We'll definitely work on more!

[@SOFishing]

Love these types of videos, if you can make more using different baits and ways you guys fish if possible.

[@tacticalbassin]

Oh there will definitely be more! Thank you for watching!

[@MrPanchito2233]

that's great stuff right there. it gives us anglers a good understanding of how bass are what they are capable of doing when schooling up. thanks fellas for the great work!

[@tacticalbassin]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@anthonymcgee2488]

AWESOME!!!!!!! I love this footage!!! Please make more and please post the soft jerkbait footage!!! This was very informational!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Anthony!

[@michaelreagan2295]

When watching the Bass Pros, they seldom wait to set the hook. Only on a heavy jig or frog do they allow the fish to take up the slack or reel down until one "feels" the fish. Most of them slam the fish upon contact. What you said makes sense given the camera footage. Thanks for a awesome video seminar!

[@tylerr.3209]

btw your sound effects are rad whooo!!!

[@tylerr.3209]

whooo man

[@conn4257]

This video was so awesome guys!!! There is a way to shut off the red light on the GoPro so you wouldn't even have to tape it. it is in settings somewhere might help just get even more sick underwater footage!!

[@austinchu4404]

Anyone else notice the walleye lurking around?

[@robpalmer1252]

This is the first time I've seen underwater like this...wow, thx for sharing!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for watching Rob!!

[@sophisticatedfunk6317]

+Rob Palmer . Where have you been locked up?. Seriously there is a guy who's been specialising in underwater shots of fish for a long time. He's put out a huge amount of film all pro quality footage. You get to see dozens of lures and how they perform or don't against some of Irelands monster Pike. He covers everything from big.musky lures, right down to finnese techniques but it's all about the great underwater footage that put him at the top of You tube for underwater film of fish. Just write "Underwater Ireland" to see the largest amount of underwater action on You Tube.

[@johnproctor3071]

wow that was awesome. also goes to show you why you need good hooks on your baits. those fish can swallow that jerkbait whole and spit back out in less than a second and not get hooked.

[@tacticalbassin]

Isn't that incredible? These hooks had turned in points but it pays to upgrade hooks. you're totally relient on them catching on their own before you set.

[@yourlakeforkguide1520]

One of the coolest videos I've ever seen! This might be the best underwater largemouth footage all time!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@patrickguillory3914]

That is some monster bass............Those fish are not just fast, they are smart..........That is some slick bass.

[@JavierRamirez-jv1pj]

Awesome video guys! Thanks for narrating the video instead of playing music. That is something others just don't do and that's how I learn the most. Awesome job and thanks again!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Javier! We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@joem6671]

Wow I'm just getting back to fishing what a great video I had no idea bass reacted so violently.

[@MoonCat5656]

YES! This was amazing! A real none hypothetical take on fish and lure interactions! Thank you SO much! Glad to hear there will be more, can't wait! Tight lines!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!! We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@UriahGiles]

Unreal footage guys! Seeing bass behavior from this perspective is incredibly helpful in understanding how they react to your presentation, and thereby learning how to perfect your actions. By far the most informative and amazing bass video I've ever seen.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for the great feedback Uriah!

[@tercelmiguel1984]

absolutely great video. that second bass. see how she dodged it close like bobbing & weaving until she bit. great slow mow

[@tacticalbassin]

Isn't that awesome??? That fish was all over the place!

[@alan350z8]

This is truly one of the most amazing fishing videos I've ever seen

[@alan350z8]

And a question for you, you see how many are spitting the jerk bait before you even feel them. Would that make you want to use a soft plastic jerk bait, like a fluke, so they hold on to it and you have the one big worm hook to hook them with and keep them on the hook better?

[@tacticalbassin]

This jerkbait had tipped in hook points otherwise most of them would get the points but yes, if a softbait is an option they'll suck it all the way in.

[@shpuply]

Absolutely insane video guys! Will keep tuning in as always.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@dextermorgan9703]

thats crazy man i love watching these bass take that bait, id only love it even more if i was on the other end of that bait lol

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! Truth!

[@tylerrowe6700]

Once again, excellent videos Matt and Tim. Went out yesterday, pre-front (snow) and caught a little 4 pounder on the 130 sized plopper. 1st cast! But I think it's true that it's bad luck to catch a fish first cast. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. You have made me a better angler 10 fold. Top water bite is still possible in NC ladies and gentlemen!

[@tacticalbassin]

That's awesome Bro! People everywhere are jealous of you right now :-p

[@wayneschnaak762]

Awesome video. I notice this same behavior from most fish when I'm ice fishing also.

[@kristiancox3]

FYI Matt, theres a way you can take the flashing red light off the gopro when you are recording.

[@johnfarney5328]

I like how we get to hear the lure. I would to hear all the baits, chatter, lipless, so on, very cool what your doing here

[@adamwillby]

WOW! this is epic guys! that's the best video to show schooling bass behavior. I can't wait to see more. I would like to see a big swimbait come through that school to see how they interact with it. this is by far the best underwater footage I've ever seen.

[@tacticalbassin]

We'll definitely try and get that! The year before we found them with the big bait and (without filming off course) got 14 bites on one cast

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

Your underwater footage has helped me understand bass behavior and an idea of how to catch fish more effectively👍👍

[@tacticalbassin]

We're happy to help!

[@americanman6347]

Wow I've never seen any footage like this people need to try to do more of this.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Robert!

[@TheKarede]

Great shots. It's much more fun to see how the fish react to things than seeing a fish pulled into the boat.

[@tacticalbassin]

Totally agree!

[@arniecan8531]

"Bass whispers"=Matt & Tim love the video

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bro!

[@moehoward21]

You have to start doing these underwater explanations as guides on how to fish in different seasons, areas, etc! Understanding how the bass actually react helped me catch fish in the winter, and I'm from Massachusetts, where its damn near impossible in the winter.

[@jayp.6166]

Unbelievable. That's why you guys are the best in the biz! Sick job boys!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Jay!

[@jorgefidalgo1823]

Setting the bar high, guys. Unreal!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Jorge!

[@rydertilidyer1136]

Bass- "God is watching all of us!!! That little red dot flashing in the water is the lord above watching us so we don't sin!!!." Other bass- "This dudes crazy don't listen to him." Hahaha

[@shawnspidle2530]

This is epic. Always cool to see how bass act & how they strike. Great idea for a video

[@rodfather_bass_fishing]

As a result of this video, I"m buying stock in any company that manufacturers jerk baits... WOW! You guys are starting this year off with a BANG! Knocked this one out of the park! Great job Matt and Tim!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Brother!!

[@DocMustafa]

Can I get some help, where do Bass usually hang out in lakes?

[@jett70710]

The biggest bass hang out where there is the most food and the best cover/hiding places. Start shallow, with horizontal and vertical presentations, move to 10 ft, then go deep. Eventually you will run into some bass. Points, secondary points, hard bottom, brush piles...

[@jett70710]

Oh.Almost forgot. Current! Or where rainwater pours in, and (especially in the summer) where it drains out.

[@Deecrappie]

Thanks for the video so awesome very helpful

[@lukespivey9932]

That's awesome. Would love to see it with different baits. Really interesting to see their actual behavior instead of just speculation.

[@tacticalbassin]

We'll do our best to get more, thanks Luke!

[@MycoMan4201]

Best underwater bass footage I've seen.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bailey!

[@mermaidman961]

Nice! We have some real monsters in our lake, but they're extremely picky, even at prime feeding time.

[@casperisnutz4614]

That's awesome!! I've been fishing for years and I've only come across a similar situation once!!! Well done guys, well done!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Brother!!

[@ReelHazardous]

That was crazy seeing how the Bass were feeding! Cool stuff!

[@tacticalbassin]

Isn't that amazing? Thanks for watching!

[@MarkPolsky]

That is incredible!! You all just set the bar on underwater bass fishing videos! Very cool!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Mark!!

[@FlyingRKennelsofMissouri]

What 'haters' would give a thumbs down on footage like this?? Great job as usual Matt & Tim!

[@mikehoff9998]

Its interesting that when hooked the other fish were not spooked. Very cool.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

This is awesome! It's always awesome to be able to see into the fishes world.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Alex!

[@RobbyRadford]

Awesome....to think how many we miss, and how many we PASS OVER, after missing a bite...unbelievable, reminds me of chickens lol

[@cameroncreamerfishing]

another awesome video giving the every day angler a little insight on to the mentality the bass have both solo and when around other bass... GREAT VID GUYS!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Cameron!

[@shockeyusa5275]

Can't get over how cool this video is. Makes me want to get my GoPro under water and get some cool shots. thanks!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for watching Brother!

[@Search-money]

Keep them coming!! Great to see how they react to certain lures. Changes the approach to catching bass!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for checking it out Greg!

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Thanks for taking the time to stop fishing and record that awesome footage to share with us. I would love to see more if you get the chance to record them again.

[@tacticalbassin]

We'll definitely do more! Thanks for subscribing to the channel, we really appreciate it!

[@williamitter7219]

Absolutely awesome tutorial. Lends so much additional info to the whole aspect of bass fishing.

[@lucaspendleton8042]

Guys so glad you did decide to record that. I've watched it like 5 times. The underwater footage is insane I'm definitely feeling 100,000 subs by next year.

[@tacticalbassin]

Yeah buddy!!! Thanks Lucas!

[@timmose6628]

Best underwater footage ever. You've got to do that again and throw a giant swimbait through there to see how the behavior is.

[@tacticalbassin]

For sure!!

[@rickiex]

When you're so good and caught all the bass that you'll ever wanted, you line fish up for a video lmao

[@TheQnome]

Awesome Footage. What kind of camera do you use for your underwater shots. It's crazy to see how fast they can spit that bait out.

[@mmitc2121]

big swimbaits and explain the soft bite!!! awesome video.

[@tacticalbassin]

Definitely! Thanks for watching David!

[@yesdeere1376]

I’m gonna go ahead and watch this a few more times 👍🏻

[@Tom13GN]

That was probably one of the coolest underwater videos ever!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Tom!

[@cajuncregan3974]

Awesome job on the video! You guys do so much to educate the average weekend warrior on bass fishing. Thanks!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!

[@amazingvideos3279]

It is about real fishing with GoPro! Loved!

[@isaiahwilhite5980]

That second fish's first bite reminded me of a skipjack shad striking!

[@A1K3NFISHING]

That is just plain amazing. As far as informing channels. Y'all out perform them all. Great stuff

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks so much Brother!

[@LoveThyPitBull]

Great footage, interesting that when a bass was caught the others didn't disappear from the area. Thank you so much for this video, subscribed and liked.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bud! Really appreciate the subscription!

[@Stratollac]

Absolutely some of the coolest footage I've ever seen! It's hard to even fathom that many fish that amped up that close to a camera. There were probably about 25 fish in the part of the school we saw, but how many do you think were in the entire school you were working? Obviously, your school consisted of all sizes. Do you find that typical when you encounter them, or do they--as is often suggested--school up by size under certain conditions or at certain times of year?

[@matthewryan8791]

This gets me amped for spring.

[@tacticalbassin]

Yeah buddy!

[@magspotfishing7258]

Epic footage, guys! This really showcases the predatory mentality of bass. Were these all largemouth, or were there spots mixed in?

[@priestsonsofwar]

This was an amazing piece of footage, to see nature in its own world. Wow amazing. How are you getting the footage? Are you using gopro or in the water with the fish.. Again guys great work, I've been watching you guys for about a week now, and some of your stuff had reall hve helped me out even being this late in the season. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

[@mikeseal7075]

Omg i can watch this all day man this is crazy

[@brennyhedderman8993]

That's awesome! It reminds of the cloud of bluegill that clouded around my nightcrawler when I was little

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! So true!

[@paddleandhook]

I don’t think that kind of footage is very easy to come by, thanks for sharing!!

[@55BigLo]

watching this on the school bus! lol

[@ehcelikok2267]

i dont got school snow

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! That's awesome!!!

[@acnjshink]

Matt, Tim Great footage, the crazy part is I was surprised how the fish didn’t get hooked quicker with how sharp the hooks are? Every time I watch these strikes I’m like how don’t these fish get hooked. It’s a good feeling when you get on a hoard school, like that thanks for sharing.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Bud! We should have mentioned we rolled the hook points to keep the school going in front of the camera

[@bracx2012]

Great video as always,it's crazy how the hit and spit so quickly. Man I love bass

[@tacticalbassin]

Incredible, right?

[@sophisticatedfunk6317]

+Billy Barnes . So do i Billy, Before a pike or musky session we first bag up on bass to use as live or deadbaits depending on the time of the year. If in a hurry we just juice up the bass by what we call "Ridin the lightnin. Just stick the probe in the water, turn up the juice and you got dozens within no time all come floating belly up and we take our fill. we leave the rest for the cormorants to scran. I'm not saying bass make the best pike or musky baits. But if you're needing to find baitfish quickly they do the job.

[@nicknewport5821]

*Fish:* "hmm what's that?? Oh yeah definitely a camera."lmao in the beginning he was pretty much acting like the fish knew that he had a camera pointed at them. 00:57

[@bluegoosecollectibles6394]

Phenomenal footage! This kind of information is invaluable for any fisherman.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks Jeffrey!

[@lsouza511]

Best video of schooling bass I have ever seen. You guys are killing it!!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@jasonhines1232]

Would love to see a side by side showing real time sonar view!

[@Brannok812]

This is outstanding! Thanks so much for your time and effort to create and post this. You bring up some critical points regarding fish strikes, strike detection, and hook set mechanics/timing. The old video Bigmouth! by Glen Lau shows how quickly a bass can strike and then reject a lure, without the angler ever being aware. Yet I have experienced times when a quick hookset just sent the lure back to me, while a delayed response was rewarded with a solidly hooked fish. Lure type and fishing circumstances determine the best response. In general, I feel that hard lures, such as jerkbaits, will be rejected more quickly and a soft lure, so I try to react accordingly. Again, thanks for your hard work and the excellent information you present.

[@tacticalbassin]

100% agree with you! Those bass bounce off hardbaits as quickly as possible whereas large softbaits often get the tail bite, then the inhale.
