THIS LURE Is Why I Fell In Love With Fishing

[@jimmitchell8511]

Your content is great. Even this silly stuff is worth watching to me. I’ve set out this year to become a truly good angler and I’ve made progress thanks to you and a few others! Appreciate it!

[@deepintheheartoftx7548]

That was a really fun video Tyler, and a walk down memory lane for you for sure. Your delivery on this video was excellent. You really have a gift. Thank you for all you share with the fishing community. You are a great role model to all of us anglers and you make us laugh too. Merry Christmas!

[@erickennyproductions1050]

For me, I was basically born into fishing, nearly everyone in my family fishes, but I kinda completely love fishing these day's more than ever, since 2020 happened, & me, & my grandfather had nothing better to do than fishing, & when I started buying slightly higher end gear compared to what I used to use, I completely rekindled my passion for fishing, & now I have the best fishing luck in my family.

[@DerrickDolly]

I'm from the Eastern shore Maryland. The bait i have nostalgia with is a spinner bait. Bc when I was nine years old my dad used to take us to a place called "The Bass Whole" maybe my dad named it that I'm not sure but that is what we called it my whole life. Anyway I was throwing the spinner bait and I hooked into a 5ibs 9 ounces 22 inch long bass back in 1994 that thing was a giant around where I grew up. My dad decided to keep it and we went and got pictures in the local paper and the title was "Who caught Whom" and I got a citation and we mounted the fish and we had it hanging on the wall for many years. That has still to this day been my PB but I recently picked up the rod and reel last summer and again the passion is still there. I have fished in between then and now but I've been watching you and many other influencers in the bass fishing world and it is got me excited I usually go every day. Thank you for your content and keep up the good work.

[@fishinwiththegriffins7304]

Arctic Spinners is my number 1. I met you in Sebewaing Michigan a couple of years ago and you signed one for me. Thanks for being you man I appreciate you!

[@RJGalaviz]

Probably like most people the lure that I caught the fever with was a rooster tail I (I was 10 years old) caught every thing on that lure I actually was using live worms and had ran out and was fixing to kick rocks back home and I found a rooster tail on bank and caught more fish than I had ever caught before.. Thanks for coming out again Tyler

[@Cloudstrife112233]

I grew up fly fishing and it's been so long I dont remember what fly got me hooked, but when I moved to Virginia, I started using a spinning rod and going for Smallies. My first really big small was on a berkley swim jig just like the one in thumbnail. That was the hardest fighting fish I had ever caught, up to that point and I couldn't stop.

[@zachjohnston06]

Started taking fishing a lot more seriously this year, and that led me to using a Texas rig for the first time. A blue and black Rage Bug and that first ever hook set… man. I was/am obsessed to the point where I am planning on buying a boat this next year!

[@Texes7777]

Your my favorite fishing channel you’re a really good man

[@MrTIREMAN16]

From south florida growing up fished a lot, but most of the time it was for food. Did not enjoy fishing until I moved to North Carolina. And started fishing with a friend of mine who was a semi pro. I have caught bass before by accident, trying to catch big brim. Or catfish etc. But my first attentionly caught bass, was on a red and black stripe square bale, called a speedtrap. It seemed like it was magic ugly, but magic! And then as time went on, he introduced me to finding fish catching fish because you can! He has passed on, but I learned so much!

[@lazysn1per]

I've only been used to live bait Saltwater. While the fights were great, it was mostly sitting around and no finesse involved. Recently got back into fishing and I had my first hit on a Whopper Plopper. That's what sealed the deal to keep going and learning

[@chipseiler1766]

Great video Tyler! My lure was a Hula Popper. Funny thing was I didn't know how to fish it "correctly". I was working at a new Salvation Army Camp grounds back in 1979 before the camping season season started. I was the only "Youth Camp" employee and doing things like installing bathroom hardware in the brand new cabins as this was to be the first year at this camp. I had nothing to do after work, so a full time employee at the camp lodge offered to lend me his spinning rod and the lure he had tied on. A Hula Popper. He gave it to me with no instructions. Although I had fished with worms almost every day of the summer for 8 years when I was a kid, I hadn't fished at all since the 8th grade. I was 26 years old at the time. I cast it out and just began reeling it in between some lily pads. I think a bass just absolutely exploded on that lure on my first cast. I caught many fish that summer by just reeling it in. No popping and waiting involved. Just plain cast and retrieve. As I look back on it, I would say it worked kind of like a buzzbait. Those top water explosions that summer hooked me but good! I'm pretty sure I was hooked after my first fish. I took my first paycheck and bought a spinning rod, some Hula Poppers, Jitterbugs, and an awesome topwater lure called a Sputterbug. Since the boxes had instructions on them, I did start fishing them as they were designed and suggested, but at times, I still ran the Hula Popper back on a straight retrieve... and it still worked that way too! Happy Holidays and have a blessed Christmas!

[@JaySunfish]

This year it was the Kelly’s fire tail, originally live worms, a hook in a bobber, right now I’m missing that top water whopper Plopper bite

[@BassBountiHunter]

FROG ALL DAY!!!! that top water bite is an amazing feeling

[@MikesKayakChannel]

The storm wildeye swim shad has caught me many fish, and different species. It's a great lure!

[@flexx825]

My favorite is the spinner bait during spring fall and summer, but I like the 3 inch Berkeley white swim baits and the Berkeley 3 inch minnows with a jig for winter

[@OptimizedOutdoors]

The topwater frog. I didn't know what i was doing or what was about to happen the first time i made a cast with one. I never knew how intense a topwater bass strike was until then, and i have never been the same.

[@Austin-wc1td]

Last October, I caught my first four pound bass on a Storm 4 inch Crappie. I forgot the scale that day so I had someone text my dad to bring his! 😂 It was the best fishing day of my life because it was fished out of a pound that I thought only caught dinks to two pounders! But now I know they are there. Even saw some 6 pounders jump out of that pond. Just wish I had a kayak! 😢

[@smoochumsmcgee]

that’s dope man. probably mullet jumping though not bass

[@ExpeditionAngler2]

Everyone loves the storm shad, but truly if you go for the Berkeley version in the pink, you cannot go wrong

[@DividedWeAllFall]

When I was a kid my dad used to make his own spinnerbaits. All the local tournament guys would buy them like hot cakes. I still have all the stuff he used to make them today. I keep telling myself I am going to set aside time and throw some together, but haven't done it yet.

[@noelcorral2894]

Do it man. You’ll remember awesome things with those lures, and most importantly with your dad. That’s the best thing you can get!

[@garyplowman5838]

I have a couple of the Storm small swimbaits they are really good for Bass fishing for me. Thanks Tyler great video bud God bless 🙏🏻

[@babadeedee]

Congrats on 385,000 subs!! This video was really fun!! My dad also started me on bread balls!

[@Drew07202]

The white curly tail grub got me hooked. It was the one my dad first had me use

[@nelhead4807]

The K&E bass stopper was the one that got me hooked. Then someone stole all my tackle and I gave up for yrs. Thankfully I’ve gotten back into it and it’s been the best.

[@snotshovelinfection305]

Nostalgia bait for me is a beetle spin… we lived by a crappie pond from when I was ten years old to 20 and that beetle spin just caught them almost every cast so much fun

[@mattfleming86]

It's a dead even tie between the OG Super Fluke Jr. and a Spook Jr/zara pup. The morning bite on an alewife lake is 🔥🔥

[@paulstuartwilson485]

Rapala balsa silver and black back. Probably caught my first 30 fish on it in Central AR. First one, I was 6 or 7 years old with my Dad. 👍🇺🇸

[@bagbrownie2608]

My first non bedding bass I ever caught was on one of those storm paddle tails. They didn’t get me hooked on fishing because I already was but they were the start of me growing as a fisher

[@randyhopkins8417]

Zoom fluke hands down got me hooked!

[@carlsutherland3730]

A hook and red worms 🪱! We were in a bass pond and simply baited up, cast, and wound it back in. Filled the stringer!

[@Emzone717]

My hooking moment was about 10 months ago when me and my friend went out on a john boat and we had one worm I found in the bottom of my bag. Watermelon red, Yum Swimm'n Dinger. We now know that lure by "Ole Faithfull" and it is always my go too when fishing is tuff or I need fish in the boat. We each caught about 4 bass that day all under 2lbs but when you haven't caught a bass in about 3 months that's about as fun as it gets. 😂

[@omalysiragusa9747]

That’s awesome to this day one of my biggest confidence baits is a swim bait on a jig head. I also got hooked with the same lure except mine was given to me by my father in law and it was a storm shad swim bait

[@jordanfenwick1199]

A culprit 7 inch worm in redshad. Started off just reeling it in, years later i fished it on a Texas rig with my dad. Then I got older and it was the black and blue jig. Ended up jacking my PB dragging that through a brush pile when I was 19. A jig is still my favorite lure.

[@kmw5100]

I've been using the berkley ones lately, great skunkbuster for me. also I throw em on a spinning setup.

[@thatirishasian]

I fell in love with fishing several years ago. But it wasn’t until I picked up the Chatterbait that I figured out how I love to fish.

[@josephreitz1222]

great Topic for mee it was the little pinky pink head jig the crappie used to crush it every day every cast in the morning

[@nottomgreen]

Growing up I caught a ton of bass on black or purple texas rigged worms, as well as black Hula Poppers and Jitterbugs.

[@Doelo1]

Drop shot got me interested but the top water popper got me hooked

[@MrEQ2009]

That green drop short worm is a go to for me. I can catch 20 bass per hour with it at my local fishing hole.

[@zacharybrower5302]

My first lure I caught a fish on was a jig, been fishing since late June and caught 3 five pounders, first every fish was with a jig and i continued to use it and caught every fish in the beginning with it

[@Logan_Atkinson]

There wasn’t really any specific thing about fishing that got me. For me I didn’t grow up fishing, my uncle fished but he never really took me with him. For me it was an outlet, my father recently passed, I had recently got sober and was just going through a lot. One day tho I went camping and just caught a few bluegill and was hooked from then on, discovered bass fishing a little while after and it’s been an integral part of my life ever since

[@brycecover4654]

For me it’s my first 3 pounder on the green pumpkin chatterbait at the golf course ponds me and my buddies found.

[@raziqafg]

Ahhhh! The cabela's special. I have probably bought 30 to 40 packets of those so far. It's almost like everytime I go there i pick up a pack.

[@robertmiy]

Hi it great you help with info keep it up Thank you All my fishing knowledge was Worms and Trout dough bait just now getting in to artificial baits

[@CarmicaBrown]

I got hooked on the Texas rig

[@heatherdean7110]

Come fish southern Oregon! There's a few ponds that are difficult and different than any videos I've seen so far.

[@ryancormier4056]

I have a little pre-rigged berkley powerbait swimbait in pink…it just sits there. Don’t use it or really plan on it. It’s there because I remember being in a paddle boat on my lake growing up catching em with something very similar. Now I want to throw it after watching this lol

[@Daviddear30]

Mann’s baby 1 minus in lemon shad. 1 ft diving crank bait. Caught so many fish on that!

[@cdr376]

My first time fishing on a Kayak my friend gave me a rod with a red/white torpedo and i used it al day long and when i was getting ready to go a 5 pounder Peacock bass Crush it, that was my first caught ever on plastic lure.

[@Ardeact]

Caught my first bass on a spoiler shad with spinner, it was tiny but my first fish bigger than a blue gill

[@jasonlopez4855]

Got my biggest bass was a stOrm swimm baits I found on the ground everyone told me it would never work. Now they are hooked up on pre rigged swimm bait's. They all work so nice. StOrm, 13fishing, rapla, crush city, what not to like. I only use a soft rod to keep them on not fast Action or stiff medium heavy power rod not good to use. The more moderate Action rod the better.

[@LilScottyWeaver]

Grew up on Lake St. Clair in MI. My favorite lure was a silver Bayou Boogie lipless crank bait.

[@deepintheheartoftx7548]

Nice lake!

[@gregorymallory]

Texas rigged lizard. I have caught more bass on it than probably every else combined. And it caught my PB of 8.6

[@timstewart6544]

Rapala Rat-L trap fishing a creek in Red Oak, TX. Miss those days when a 1 pound bass was a giant to me.

[@RandyGoos]

Chatterbait I love your videos!!!

[@victorvelazquez4175]

Same swimbait got me hooked and it crushes them.

[@raygissendanner1476]

This is my frist year of bass fishing as know i have been fishing for over 40 years and decided to try bass fishing I have only caught two bass so fore my frist one was on a texas rig

[@micahhwilliams]

H&H Spinnerbait!!! I didn’t know there was any other lure till I was probably 12 years old. 😂

[@RickBReviews]

I looked up that lure. It's the Tsunami. They have them at bass pro and Cabela's.

[@markphilippsjr]

T RIG!!!!!!! But then I found cranking!!!!! I love cranking, cover water fast and used everywhere

[@paulstuartwilson485]

I run those Storm wild eyed shad on an A rig. The less exposed hardware, the better. 👍🇺🇸

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I still have some of those! I caught a bass on one about a week ago. 😂

[@kerrycooperfishing2732]

Those tsunami swimbait are still sold . They still work great!!!

[@redneckatheist4136]

Mine is the clear tiny torpedo. I still use them 35 years later.

[@Ardeact]

It’s funny because I have that exact tsunami shad swim bait but i still haven’t caught anything on it

[@YT-ix9vu]

For me it was the jig my unle bought me my first baitcaster and gave me a jig and I didn't know how to fish it so I just swam it and I use to slay bass

[@cn83736]

Noticed you were fishing with the new Lews Custom Pro. I am considering buying one and I am wondering what you think about the reel compared to other Lews reels and is it really worth 280?

[@TylersReelFishing]

It’s so crazy good. Now, is it $280 good? It’s better than the last version at $280, I promise you that. BUT the custom at $180 is an absolute steal. Make sure to access Tackle Warehouse through my link if you end up purchasing that!
