Summer Crankbaits For Big Bass on Lake Guntersville

[@crx970]

"When it rains in the south, it Rains!" About as true as it gets!

[@Its2fast99]

I grew up on Lake Guntersville. Live on Lake Guntersville. I fished tournaments and guided full time for almost 10 years here. I was pretty impressed that unlike most anglers that start catching white and/or yellow bass, you stayed. Most move on thinking that’s the school they’re seeing on the graph. And many times it is. But you figured out something that locals know. When you start catching white or yellow bass deep, there’s big bass there also. Pretty impressed. Also, the past few weeks have been the clearest the Lake has ever been. The farther up river you go, the more stained the water will be. But it’s still clear which is unusual. Looking forward to having you back for a few days in the future.

[@flippindocks8183]

I live 40 miles from Guntersville. Alabama weather is NO joke. Please come back and make more videos on Guntersville! Roll Tide!

[@sunwukongmonkeyking5561]

My #1 KZbin channel! Thank you so much for everything Matt and Tim.

[@ajgeiger7417]

Man I know it's not but you make it look soooooo easy! Eh not a MEGA but JUST a 7 pounder lol took me 37 years to break 5 and thanks to your channel I regularly catch 5s and my 9 year old daughter caught her first 5 last year THANK YOU!

[@TheJTTaylor000]

Come on Matt! Some of us know that if you really wanted to you could have dodged all those rain drops with that ChampioN. Great video. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you and Tim have gathered over the years. We are blessed to have a tool like TacticalBassin at our disposal. Keep them coming. Safe travels and may God continue to bless the TacticalBassin family.

[@kennethhuffman2288]

Matt, I've only been bass fishing for two years. I really appreciate your videos because you actually teach people. But, I have to admit you've cost me a ton of money buying rods, reels and other things you've suggested. But, i'm extremely happy with all the equipment you've suggested. The difference in G. Loomis NRX rods and other rods is truly amazing.

[@garrettjohnson3458]

Man it’s so cool to see someone all the way from California out on a local lake

[@jonathangreen1494]

The G is an awesome fishery I've had the pleasure of fishing all my life! Great fish Matt! You did awesome with the time you had! Yall continue to have a safe trip. Prayers for yall!

[@bassmedic]

I'm coming down there may next year. Any good places aroung Langston or nearby?

[@jonathangreen1494]

@@bassmedic fishing is good up there by goose pond. You can go up the river (up from langston) this time of year fishing the current and shade with buzz baits and shallow to medium cranks and such and catch some really nice bass with a big 1 occasionally. Or Matt kinda hit it on the head in the video. You can go down river from Langston and get out on the ledges and throw swimbaits, cranks, jigs, spoons. Matt did right by finding the not so obvious subtle stuff. That's where you can find you a school of bigs! Good luck to you and stay safe out there🤙

[@bassmedic]

Thanks. I know it's a big lake and a lot of water for someone that's never been there before.

[@alanmarshall4723]

Big G is my home lake. When you’re catching stripers big females will sit shallower on the ledge than the stripes and wait for them to push the bait up to them. At least that’s how I’ve found the bigger fish. 30 years fishing Guntersville. Glad you were able to make it Matt!

[@joebridges1878]

Used the chatter bait combo (red craw with chartreuse curly tail grub) I saw in the tactical bassin thumb nail, and put some nice 3lb, 4lb fish in the boat during our club tournament at Chickamaugua passed weekend. Just not enough. This is my #1 place for tournament prep. Unlike these other fishermen, that hire a guide, post photos on social media of fish that would make a dream sack for about 7 boats, and think you want get disqualified the day of,,,wrong! Thanks, Matt and Tim

[@brettlanglois8769]

Glad to see y’all making the cross country trek! Welcome to our Southern fisheries Matt! I watched Sierra on your Chickamauga vid, and oh how precious! I’m happy to see you’ve healed well and are enjoying our wonderful sport again. I hope your Dad is doing well also. Thanks for all the tips and great videos. Y’all be safe!

[@kentsmith1253]

I hope you come a little farther south and try the Coosa river. You need to hook into these Coosa river spotted bass. They are fighters brother. Good luck and be careful.

[@tedmccarthy1401]

There we Goooo!!! @ the 8:00 sticks a big girl!!! I always love to see Matt get pumped up to catch a giant 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣 As always keep the videos coming and the dedication to our sport🎣

[@markwimpee3063]

Knew you were going to Guntersville after Pickwick. 45 minutes from the house. Glad you could enjoy some southern hospitality. Safe travels.

[@davidbaker9271]

Matt you and Tim are just badass love watching all your videos that was an amazing fish

[@sstig13]

Lol that rain, tell me about it. I think we have had enough down here in Texas, too. Way to figure them out on a lake you have never been on! That is one of the reasons we watch and learn from you guys! Watching how you break down the lake is good stuff.

[@bwoody6370]

Do a vid with Richard Gene the Fishing machine there. That would be another awesome vid to see!

[@xomgitsjay]

Matt I wanna thank you and Tim for teaching me so much about fishing in my first 3 month of fishing. I caught a personal best 5 pounder last week using all the knowledge I've soaked up from you and I'm very grateful to have found your channel. Keep the awesome fishing info coming!

[@tacticalbassin]

That is awesome!! Congratulations!

[@bb3585]

Thanks for coming to see us in Alabama, Matt. Come back when you can stay longer!

[@adamwinchester3623]

Sweet home Alabama! The big G is my favorite lake.

[@shaunroberts9361]

MATT. You are amazing somtimes. All the time i mean. Thats a big lake and for you to do what you did was epic. Love you vlogs. Again thank you!!!!

[@Andy-vb5yp]

Perhaps you could show the structure and depth of what you are fishing at on the hummingbird unit. So that way we get an idea of what to look for when we are on the lake next time. This is an awsome video. Love it.

[@yarbray3564]

I fish lake Guntersville every day! Great place to fish! hate i missed you guys

[@bakerking5351]

Hope Alabama treated you well, Guntersville is a blast to fish

[@CallahanHarry44]

Loved the ending rain-run back! Nice to know I'm not the only one that gets caught! :)

[@williamhenry7]

I appreciate your videos and you sharing your knowledge. Your in my opinion 1 of best bass fishing videos that actually give real info and facts and not just clickbait. you have a new subscriber now.

[@tacticalbassin]

Great to have you William!

[@mindobersaglia3374]

Nothing like rain in your face at 50 mph ! Enjoyed the video.

[@jamesonrkelley125]

I’m going to Guntersville, in July, and I’m really excited I can’t wait to catch them

[@steelwarrior105]

Good grief, welcome to Alabama hope you enjoy/enjoyed your time here

[@bassavid9072]

These guys are so fun to watch. Keep it up!

[@BassRaider]

Great tips and nice fish!!!!

[@Kykayakbasser]

Nice vid, great job, Matt!

[@zachshott7833]

Good thing you had that rain suit!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

🏆🏆WOW that was a huge Bass,congratulations and thank you for sharing 👊👊🍻🍺

[@tonybass5662]

Awesome man wish I knew you were in town. Holler at me when you come back.

[@bigfah2506]

Crazy, thanks for breaking it down for us!

[@johnblaha5692]

Great video love to see some more bank fishing content

[@diversify210]

I dont think they bank fish, so there probably wont be any bank fishing videos

[@HellaBass]

Fished Guntersville for the first time this April, such a fun lake!

[@Newbgainer]

Hopefully you hit Chickamauga afterwards, would say hit Nickajack but it's a little smaller than G and Chick. I'm an hour away from each all 3 great lakes! Keep up the great videos!!

[@bassinjake6456]

You guys are the best 🎣

[@tonyboucher9350]

I like the time lapse video with Vedder guitar, that's pleasant

[@TheGdspruill]

look I've been falling for a few months now absolutely think y'all are the best there is as far as these videos go and I really appreciate y'all making the trip down here to Alabama and showing what you know on our state water if you can man I try to hook up with y'all somewhere in the mobile-tensaw Delta if y'all ever made it down here to mobile or the Spanish Fort area I can show you some hidden gems

[@warrenharrison7596]

Had the same thing happen this past Sunday on Sardis in Oklahoma. That rain felt like hail!

[@willjohnston622]

That’s my home lake, I’m using your tips on swimbaiting to try and establish a new pattern. Those pressured fish have seen just about everything except big glides and big huds

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Great video from Florence here little west of that on pickwick

[@jemhidiahssj4114]

Nice Bass buddy!

[@Mjones8383]

I see you found out that the slightest wind on Guntersville makes it roll like the ocean. The big flutter spoon offshore is deadly this time of year.

[@bassintime6879]

Dang I wish you had more time, a few days on guntersville and you will find some mega schools! Love that lake

[@kevinstivers3860]

Goodness gracious. That storm rolled in on him in a hurry.

[@jeffjohnson1751]

Next video you do when ledge fishing will you screenshot your graph before you start? Just wondering what you are seeing to make you want to stop and fish that particular ledge? Thanks you guys are the best. I have learned so much from yall.

[@scrdngr]

Welcome from Bama wish I could of meet yall. Love the channel and if you want a challenge come to a lake that doesn't have a lake map like my home body of water

[@Kylewatchesstuff]

You haven't truly experienced a down pour unless it's been south of the Mason Dixon line! Nice fish Matt!

[@tannerburke8178]

You should try Carters lake in GA some time. There are some monster spots but they aren't easy to catch.

[@thefishingfactory708]

Matt make sure you hit lake lanier in Georgia!

[@davidnewcomb2431]

We sure do have a special lake in GA like Lanier....but Carter's up here in Ellijay is a well kept secret....giant magnum spots up here

[@johngalt3568]

Welcome to Alabama Matt. Hope being in the Deep South will be good to you.

[@jeremygilreath224]

Browns creek causeway is awsome if they pulling water

[@nealatthecrossfishing]

That type of rain here in the south (and the cold weather) is why I have a full face motorcycle helmet in my boat.

[@crawfordfite1148]

y’all should do an alabama tour next year!

[@Kbass1979]

I wish that I would have known that you were here. I have a spot on the lake with a camper hook up that you could have stayed for free. Maybe next time.

[@DLRinc]

Head an hour south to the Anniston/Oxford area. We can fish on a couple lakes that are no gas engine regulated. There are some nice bass, I just need you to show me how to catch them 😂

[@jamesbarron1202]

What's fun is being miles from the truck and a hail storm hits and the hail starts getting bigger.

[@philipkennedy8085]

Awesome video as always. Getting the notification for TB video and watching it gets me hyped to go fishing. Hey matt. I'm planning on making a trip out to have you guide for me to get a new PB. What is the best time of year out there to come. Do you have a waiting list for that time of year.

[@FishingFreshies]

Beauty!!!

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

You know we wanna hear your opinion on mike long....

[@MistaGrim]

lol uh oh...

[@darrellsanbornjr2088]

Long is a dong

[@Josey4u]

Yep. I agree. Want to know if you ever fished with him.

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

Yeah we are all huge fans and seeing you introduced a lot of us to bug swimbaits, you and tim are from Calif, AND tim is a warden. So I assume you guys have a strong opinion

[@BayJoua]

Who’s that?

[@ryanp5564]

Yall should come fish Texoma

[@handyallaround5776]

looks like the causeway near goods pond going towards scottsboro?

[@part_time_fishing]

your so close to Lake Harding, my home lake... PLEASE come fish it!!

[@levihoward2849]

An awesome video would be just 30 minutes or an hour of just uncut fishing just you or Tim talking to the camera and fishing. Pickwick and Guntersville are amazing fisheries they are my home lakes. I’m sad I missed y’all coming through here.

[@matthobbs2954]

Man Guntersville is my home lake and I still struggle to this day.

[@BankBassTV]

Come to clarkhill lake Augusta Ga!

[@ChrisMiller0526]

When you going to make the trip to the Northeast?

[@John_D2]

But , man , those white bass are good eating ! Nice work , Matt

[@Rangolian]

Chickamauga lake has had a lot of monsters caught this year. Heard 3 at 15 lbs and 1 16 lbs. If you want a clear water lake, look up Jocassee Lake in SC. Clearest lake water I've ever seen.

[@zubertish]

Although it looked like a blast, I think the ladies had the smartest breakdown of the lake... they were dry.

[@freddyhuff7303]

Lake Allatoona, Georgia next?

[@trentbonner4342]

Would be awesome to see y'all get together with Gerald Swindle or Jordan Lee and do a video on Guntersville.

[@williamcollier9429]

Are you guys planning on fishing chickamaga

[@jcreel4055]

Dang wish I would have known you were here

[@dwmjr2253]

Bridges are community holes on Guntersville

[@DLRinc]

D M J As a local, Guntersville is a community hole where you fish side by side anyone and everyone on the weekends. Monday thru Thursday is the only time to fish the big G.

[@codyphillips977]

HELL YA MATT!!

[@hopezookus6642]

When will you be making it back to Florida? More specifically Kissimmee? I have a lake out here called walk-in-water, one of the biggest in central Florida next too Kissimmee I would love to talk yall out on!

[@robertdiehl1281]

Was wondering if the LV500 crossed your mind working those ledges?

[@bassmedic]

I'm heading down there next year. Hopefully I can find the bass in my 4 days down there.

[@brianrobinson9979]

I forget Matt, have you already been to Chickamauga on this trip?

[@tacticalbassin]

Yes, we've already passed through the area (editting lags behind real life) the video of that stop will run next week.

[@MrRikdominguez]

Awesome video as always. Question. What underspin are you using? Looks like you up sized the blade.

[@TheTpowell]

This is my “home lake”. So many good fish in this Lake. But a lot of pressure on them so they can be finicky.

[@thomasrobey9851]

#1 Do you always “see” fish before you decide to fish off shore weather that’s 12’ or 30’? #2 doing a lot of left handed reeling on the tacticalbassin cross country

[@Redman_30]

What is your goal when you go to one of these new lakes fish wise i mean, looking for a 5 pounder?

[@cascasoldier]

I always knew you were amphibious, that is suited for water and land. But how long have you been ambidextrous? Also what reel was that you were using, left-handed?

[@huntercroak5551]

Left hand retrieve reel on that cranking setup?

[@sinsofvorador]

You should really swing by high rock lake in North Carolina or lake Jordan.

[@dreelfishing3964]

Are you fishing like parallel to the ledge? Almost treating it like a grass line?

[@logansparkman1715]

Can you do a vid on how to set up on offshore bass

[@tylerpeters1181]

I 100% thought you were going to hit that road at the beginning, then you zoomed in and I realized how far away you were.

[@beezie2566]

Should have went to smith since you were in bama

[@brandonhall2871]

Depending on when exactly you were at Guntersville, you didn’t miss the Bassmaster tournament by much.

[@dfishman76]

If you come to NC hit me up would like to meet you plus might be able to hook you up with a place to stay at Tillery

[@dylanself1185]

What gear ratio for the reel? I’m gonna be there next week doing the same thing and need to get my gear together

[@brandonknuckles48]

13:45 lmao YES IT DOES
