The Pond Lure That NEVER Let's Me Down! (100 Ponds Ep. 54)

[@JaySunfish]

You should do a 50 states lake and pond series where you go to each state and fish some of the best lakes and ponds; might not be doable, but I wish I could do that myself

[@stewy7317]

Tyler you are the absolute best. I’ve followed almost every tip you’ve given and you have yet to let me down. You said the Mach smash was a great chatterbait rod and the thunder cricket was a great bait. Couple with a 3 inch little grub. So I got all of the above. This very morning no less than 6 hours ago I was pulling up my personal best large mouth. 6.44 lbs!! I almost cried. Told my brother where I learned to fish. Thank you so much for all your tips and the way you explain everything. I’m so confident behind a baitcaster with so many different baits that I have every intention of entering tournaments next year. Thank you again for helping me find a love for a hobby that has truthfully kept me out of trouble and brought me more peace than any other. Keep up all the amazing content and fish on.

[@MsKbirk]

I stayed with my dad over the weekend. I woke up to him watching your videos. I said, your watching my buddy Tyler!

[@ivanjaramillo5297]

Tyler i just want to thank you for all the input you give out to us.as a bank fisher i have a long process or no acces at all but your info has help a lot,so much that what i learn from you i have been explaining my wife and her first fish was a 2/12 3pounder

[@IBenFishin]

what kind of fish y’all got there?

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

We have largemouth, spotted and smallmouth bass in my home province along with tiger fish. Then also catfish, or barbel as we call it, trout and species fish such as bluegill, carp and a few more. I fish mainly bass or tiger, when i get a chance to closer to the north eastern side of our province in Pongola river or Zhuzini dam( think the spelling is wrong). We also do deep sea fishing for Durado, marlin and other predator fish such as barracuta. I caught a stunning 5 pound largemouth last weekend on our pastors farm.

I've always been that lazy fisherman, going the big uglies, in Iowa ponds! I still enjoy the fight from a catfish. I must thank you, for the knowledge you share, more importantly how you share it so that any & everyone understands. On 9/23/24, 6:45 am, I caught my first largemouth bass using a frog, (first fish I've ever caught on plastic anything)! No pictures, cause my clumsy self dropped my phone into pond as I tried taking a photo! Thanks again

Good to see guys who fish for a living have bad days, makes it mkre realistic. I have a pond here in South East Texas that I usually get a fish or two in an hour. But this past month not even one, can't wait for October and this weather to start cooling down.

[@witchdoctor813]

Best fishing series on YT

[@tacticalforky]

Two things. I love that rod and reel but I have that same issue with my hand slipping off the handle CONSTANTLY 😂. Second, here in PA the dog days of summer have been rough this year because we went almost 7 weeks without any rain leading up to that time period and it just made bass fishing super hard for most of the limited time we get here in the western part of the state so I feel you there. Love the pond series. Sad to see it be over soon.

Hey, throughout the pond series youve been talking about partnering with evolution on a new bag. Im planning on upgrading to a bigger bag in the spring, so hopefully we hear about it by then lol. I like the camo on the one your currently using. Hopefully they could do a pattern like that but instead of blue use red.

Tyler, I've always considered myself a crappie fisherman. Now that I've watched your 100 Pond series, I'm convinced I want to become a bass fisherman. I have your Beginner Tackle Box saved and am looking forward to watching it and hitting the water next spring. BTW, I have heard you reference the Boy Scout Slogan a few times. Are you an Eagle Scout?

[@Bassassinator]

I actually know the answer to this! If you “short hook” the shad lure, it will nose dive when it hits the water. If you pull the hook through after the “head”, it will sink horizontally!

[@samcro9168]

Tyler, Can you give a list of cities that you spent time at for the 100 ponds series?

[@dadgonefishing7448]

Excellent video as always. Do you ever use center lock EWG hooks for Texas rigging?

Is the Mach jacked a finesse set up? My favorite reels all come from lews, so now that I’m looking for a bfs baitcaster the only one specifically listed as bfs on lews website is like a $300 reel so if I can just pick up a Mach combo that can throw light lures that would be sick

I'm just jealous of your access to ponds. Is that just networking, meeting people who own the properties and asking or paying them for permission?

This morning I went to frog a pond but as soon as I got close to the water fish would leave the bank cover and go deeper. I also noticed fish getting spooked from my frog flying over the weeds they were sitting in. Any suggestions? Maybe they are skittish from all the fishing pressure?

Make extra long casts and try to figure out an angle that does not spook them

Also carry some mountain dew with you for the fish that bleed. Helps there blood coagulate before you nicely put them back in the water.

Not to be that guy, but thats actually been proven to be a myth.

[@Michdave700]

@@CarolinaYakAngler The researcher who did the very extensive study on this also explained the good reason why people think it works - the shock of the soda causes the fish’s heart to momentarily stop, so the bleeding does stop, but just temporarily, after a few minutes their heart starts again and the bleeding continues. In the study they placed the fish in white coolers, which let them observe the later restarting of bleeding.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to effectively throw weightless Texas rigs on a baitcaster. I’m fairly good with one, when throwing heavier baits.

[@NineteenEighty8]

Same here. Ill never understand how they throw weightless flukes on baitcasters. Tried on my medium rod and couldn't do it.

[@allenfowler1794]

Not meaning to sound like I'm tooting my own horn but I throw weightless fluke on a 6' 6" medium baitcaster with fluro line no problem. It just takes practice and having your reel adjusted right. Don't give up.

[@NineteenEighty8]

@@allenfowler1794 It just doesn't cast very far, not far enough to actually cover water. Thats my problem. I just rig flukes on my spinning rod and using a swivel to keep it from rotating. Ill keep trying brotha, thanks.

[@Michdave700]

That Strike King caffeine shad is heavier than others, that might help casting.

[@JustFishing1489]

The reel you choose makes a big difference too. I normally use either a curado 150 mgl or a zillion And can cast one reasonably far. I’ve used a medium rod or a medium heavy. The medium heavy is more moderate fast and the extra tip loading really increases cast distance
