Tim's BIGGEST Florida Bass EVER! Flipping Heavy Cover!

[@fishfearmetv2488]

The way he so calmly drags that thing out of the thicc stuff. Doesn't make a sound, or yell for the net. Gives Matt more time for the net by working the fish around the front of the boat.....seasoned and literally so "tactical". Even where and when he decided to pitch. He watched Matt pitch and then picked his spot 🔥😍 GOALS!

[@Milehighsnake98]

I think I'm adding that to my verbal repertoire..."Well that went from zero to EPIC"

[@legionssb]

Me too! And “here piggy piggy” when I’m lookin for bigguns!

[@FlippinOkie]

Crazier then tim catchin that fish is the fact that headwaters is FULL of those and bigger! Congrats tim!!

[@witchdoctor813]

To Tim’s point there are plenty of great swimbaits, but with Florida fishing Skinnydippers or Gambler Ezs are all you need.

[@abgr5747]

Agreed

[@20hasbro]

I'm heading to fort meyers area next week, are there any good lakes/canals near by I can hit that you know of?

[@witchdoctor813]

@@20hasbro I'm in the Tampa area which is about 2hrs give or take from where you're heading to. I'm not too familiar with that area. The only advice I have is to check Google maps or Fishbrain and beat the banks hard if you have no boat. I catch fish anywhere: retention ponds, ditches, lakes, golf courses, etc. TBH most my best spots have no fishing signs, I'm not proud but it is what it is.

[@mactownrox]

Gotta love those Florida bass

[@lechlerguttersllc9553]

This is as close as I get to Florida Bass and I live in Florida Never been able to catch any down here None to speak of anyways

[@anthonyvespia6662]

You guy's are awsome. It's my 2nd season as an angler, finally off the bank and on the water, with my fishing kayak setup I love. I've learned so much from you guy's. Especially love the underwater views how to properly use my baits. God bless guys..

[@live2fishofficial]

How can anyone thumb down theses videos? These guys are on the top in the industry for giving tutorials and walking you through the basics and advanced methods in pattern fishing. Great job guys, thanks for all the info!

[@Czarlite]

Glad to see that Tim got some revenge down there. Fantastic fish and immaculate netting skills by Matt!

[@aaronhernandez8712]

Thank you so much for not putting the main clip at the end of the video👍🏽 much respect. Actually makes me wanna watch the whole thing.

[@troycote4503]

Putting the hammer down! Giant Tim! Junk fishing can be fun. I do it alot out of the Kayak. When you have to paddle, you do a lot of fishing what you have in front of you. Winter in Mass, I go digging through your oldies but goodies. LoL

[@jbjgibbons]

Thanks for not making us wait thru 10 average fish catches, 2 commercials and a story about your neighbors kids before getting to the hog snatching! In the world of KZbin that’s like showing up at my door and handing me a thousand dollars. 😄

LOVE seeing you guys in my neck o’ the woods!! That’s florida fishing for you boys! Everything can catch, nothing feels dialed in, it’s always too HOT or too COLD, changes minute to minute, you lose a ton of fish punching heavy.. and you hook GIANTS! gotta love it! 🤙🎣❤️🐟 awesome content guys!

[@brianlee9074]

Great day. Tim catches a tank. Matt catches numbers. Fish were caught on several types/kinds of baits. Nice job fellas. 🎣👍

[@AlIsUpOutdoors]

How y’all work together while fishing is almost seamless! Before one of you ever sets the hook on a biggin, the other is already grabbing the net. Great job guys!

[@uncleslide]

I was born and raised in FL, been fishing here my entire life....caught hundreds of punch bass and seen hundreds more caught........ but NEVER have I seen a gar eat a punch rig! That’s a first. Nice catches.

[@keithtauber4153]

That's odd. I get bit by them fairly often. I was going to say at least Matt didn't get his line broke. They cut me off like they have a razor blade. Using braid is the worst they cut that so easily. In fact it happens enough that I figured out a trick when using braid. I put super glue on my line and apply starting at the knot and about 2 inches up from the knot. It creates a hard barrier that is tooth proof.

[@cooper4823]

I like how when someone’s hooked up the other guy reels in gets the bet nets the fish and keeps fishing no bullshit absolutely perfect

[@hoopin_with_jay8634]

Nice!! Looks bigger than 8.8!

[@jimblack806]

Florida puts me in a state of confusion probably cause a 20 hour drive south from the 216 and I’m in the spawn in February All I can say is Golden shiners match the hatch I watched guides when I was vacationing in my boat and took notes from the great American fisherman Roland (he owned a bait shop on the big O) and applied it to other Florida lakes for successful trips Plus being a total different fishery causes that disorientation That water color is a factor also, is that coffee or tea, whatever it is it’s better than the ice on Erie in February Saw you’s on the Bog show video (MikyBallz) Be safe, stay covered, and fish on

[@shawnwheeler4633]

Kissimmee and Harris Chain should be on your radar! Hope to see you on the water! Keep pumping out the great videos! Central Florida Bassin ☝ Snow👎!!

[@swingline76er]

Entertaining video, nice when you can go to areas your not familiar with a catch fish! Here's a Pro tip when catching big fish like that first hog, it's best to weight it while it's still in the net, reduce possible injury on trophy fish while practicing cpr.

[@andrewwolf4963]

Y’all should do a series where you help anglers catch a Pb or their first double digit or something it would be really cool to watch. I grew up in MD and our state record is just over 10 and was caught in a private farm pond lol I’ve never seen a bass over 6 in person. We’re a striper state :/

[@vuexiong6087]

Wow. Nice 8.80! Did you think it was that big? Lol awesome day. Crazy how you guys ran into Mike!

[@Zoomfluke]

Somehow I missed watching this gem when it came out, but love to see it, even if it was a couple years ago. Halfway through the video & had to pause it because I’m scared I’ll find out that Tim lassoed this giant on another one of Matt’s birthdays. 😂/😢 On a side note, I think there is a commonly unnoticed element of bass behavior that gets drawn out only in a co-angler setting. Something to be said for throwing 2 lures simultaneously at the same set of fish. Would make for an interesting topic &or even underwater video!
