Understanding Big Bass - How to Catch a Trophy Largemouth

[@dennypescador]

Hey bamabass, great vid. I'm 53 years old . I grew up salt water fishing but gave it up. My son got me into fresh water fishing in 2015. I started out fishing for bass, did catch one on a swim bait with a 1000 size spinning reel on 6lb test. But since then I've been fishing ultralight, panfish basically. So I'm learning as much as I can on bass fishing. It's amazing how much we older folks can learn from a younger generation. Keep up the good info.

[@Michael_Braddy]

Well Dude, htf is your fishing career going? What are your PBs on freshwater species? What's your favorite one to eat? (mine is crappie)

[@jasonaherron7832]

I live in Virginia, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia the end of last year and I lost my job so I started to fish for the peace and stress relief. She has become obsessed with fishing as well! She loves your videos cause you catch the big girls. We want to start filming some fishing stuff too, and I love to hunt big ones now. I'd like to know how you judge bodies of water etc. Like choosing where to fish. And more tips and in depth tips on how you fish the swimbaits. When I'm able to upgrade to some better tackle and get a camera, I'll send you a picture of us with a monster! She'll be excited to show you and Liz a picture!

[@tablerockkid8237]

I really like that you are making information-filled videos with a goal of passing on tips and tactics. Too many of the other guys are more concerned with their new cool kayak or trying to show off their own fish, rather than help others. Great job and thanks so much.

[@RDM-fc6rd]

Great tips. Love it. Im after my new pb. 10.75 lbs is my pb. People laugh at me because i will not take a picture of a bass unless it's 5lb are bigger. Great channel. I know you and your wife work hard to put out great content. I thank you for that. Ronnie. Texas.

[@tommywood6093]

This is probably the best easy to understand how to videos I've watched. Very informative as well as "To the point" videos. Thank you for investing so much time and effort to help a simple minded country boy like me.

[@OzarkPursuit7883]

This is truly a great video. I grew up watching my dad catch big bass from the bank, many at night. He was very quiet, used large lures and was more concerned about quality over quantity. Thanks for sharing!

[@billymcgillan2240]

and of course we love these tips I feel like most of the bass KZbin fishing channels now have moved away from why people started watching there videos... to learn

[@jackmoore2733]

BM Fishing we watch because they're entertaining.

[@shaunbaker3368]

I love these videos. I caught my 10lber yesterday by watching your videos. Thank you!

[@BamaBass]

Nice! Congrats.

[@coreysmith2741]

BamaBass before you posted this I caught my pb just shy of 8lbs but big for Michigan ahha. But went out with the mindset I'm gonna catch big ones and caught him after I broke my 5.83lb pb from last year. Love learning from your videos man. Keep them up!

[@coreysmith2741]

I caught him on a 5" swimmin caffeine shad on a underspin haha. Third time fishing it caught him on a flat next to rip rap. Baby bass colored and he hit it like a ton of bricks michigan fall on a nice day 67 degrees after a week of 42-

[@gingeritous]

Shaun Baker lol I just caught my pb yesterday at 8.3 the fish that's in my picture not a ten pounder but it's giant for a New York northern strand largemouth

[@gingeritous]

I'll probably have to go south to catch anything much bigger than that New York's record is 11lbs and it has been for 30 years lol

[@ronclayton3831]

Man I'm 49yrs old, I caught my first bass at 14, and I have learned a lot through the years, but every time I watch and listen to your tips I LEARN soooo much more, so keep fishing and teaching, and I'll keep learning!

[@shawnbeck2303]

I've been fishing for 40 yrs or better. I've always loved Panfishing and The huge flathead Catfish. Never Bass fished till about 1 yr ago. And when I caught my first one ever , well I'm hooked. Only bass fish now . Your video is the best and most informative video ever. You have helped me understand the ways to be more successful than anyone else. Thanks my friend. Keep on , keeping on. My hats off to you.

[@Johnathann54]

I've been bass fishing for 13 years and my pb was like 4lbs. I watched this vid about a couple months ago and boy have I been slaying them my pb is now 7lbs 8oz. Thank you!!

[@saramerrick-albano9967]

Respect for paying homage to the late great Doug Hannon and others who have influenced your fishing. Its rare these days to see people give credit to all those who have given so much to the sport through their hard work and time on the water. Tight lines brother.

[@teamxlnt2792]

This video is ridiculously undervalued. Thanks for the critical advice, Bama.

[@MrMd5555]

These are my favorite types of videos, I love to hear other people's success trends and such!

[@johnmorgan2916]

Caught my first bass in 1940 and am still learning, thanks to fishermen like you, who are unselfish with info. Again..thank you..

[@nooo840]

quick question how old are you

[@stephen3073]

Excellent video! I dabble in bass fishing in North central Alabama, and you just increased my knowledge many years' worth. Thanks for that! My late old Uncle John was a great outdoorsman all his life, and he really knew his lore too. I remember him telling me, "You have to learn how to think like a fish", and I thought, that couldn't be too difficult! Fish aren't that bright. But what Uncle John finally got me to understand is, the intelligence of a fish is a different order of intelligence entirely, and the fish is the master of his environment, not you- Fish have their own sort of intelligence and discernment. So, thinking like a fish is actually an advanced cognitive exercise!

[@28zae]

I love your videos I been watching them since I was 15 or 14. You don’t make a lot of noise when you catch a big fish or anything like that. Your videos are very calm an chill, an I’ll take your advice before I listen to anybody else on KZbin.

[@amitchell2009]

How do u a-holes dislike this video? This is pure gold

[@MrFishBlood]

It is completely contradictory! One of the first tips he gives is to use the big worm... Because big bass are lazy, they want a big, easy meal... Cool, sounds like good advice, makes sense to me! Then he recommends buzz baits and big swim baits... Wait a minute... Buzz baits and swim baits are among the fastest baits there are! Which is it? I don't doubt he's caught some trophy bass with each of these techniques, but my guess is it had a lot more to do with other factors. Its the ad hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy... "A" happened right before "B", therefore "B" happened because of "A". Very flawed logic indeed.

[@killa5o2]

lmao

[@jackcraddock575]

[@JaySparty1]

These types of videos are still a key parr of what people watch. Its not all about screaming in a video and making exciting content. Thats good to have but these videos that can share your experience, advice, and teaching the rest of us are extremely valuable.

[@danthompson4879]

I just wanted to say that watching your vids over the last few months have helped me catch 2 of the top 4 bass I've caught in my life. I'm just a pond fisherman from the bank, and being up here in Iowa, we don't make bass as big as what you have in the south, so my story may not sound as impressive as others. My personal best were 2 bass that both weighed 5-13 each. I caught them about 5 years ago just a few days apart in the same pond. I mostly fish topwater frogs and always used Scum Frogs because they were cheap, thinking a frog is a frog. I always used ultralight rods, cheap ones, and Fireline. Then I found you. I started watching your vids, the crashes, the hanging frogs off limbs (awesome tip btw), the rod, reel, and line selection, just everything you've produced. I bought some baitcasters, bought some longer mh rods, upped the ante on line, and definitely discovered not all frogs are the same. Anyways, thanks to you, our wife and your vids, 2 months ago, I landed my PB, a 6-10 beast in my book! And just 2 days ago I landed a 5-7. Not bigguns compared to your bruisers, but huge in my record book. So, I just wanted to thank you and I will keep watching and learning from you! Thanks man!

[@patrickkunnecke8106]

Dude you have the most calming voice. I find myself getting lured in. Totally understand how these big bass get duped.

[@rogerglasco5941]

It has been quit a while since I watched your videos. Targeting bid bass From Nov. Thru. Feb. is great. I live in south central Florida and we have monster bass. I agree with all your tips. I use a 10 inch plum worm and slow moving it across the bottom. 11 and a half pounder is my PB. My wife has caught an 8 pounder. We fish twice a week just for the fun. We are not tournament people. People like you we need more of.

[@thowellbassin4012]

definitely liked this style video. I've been bass fishing since I was 9 years old in 1986. I've caught thousands of bass in my life but nothing over 9.5 lbs. It's time to change that I believe. Been fishing 30 years and I learn something new every time I go. keep the tips coming!

[@bassaholics8612]

I love these vids, you have inspired me to go big or go home, I have learned more about fishing for big bass than any other channel! Thank you.

[@Dave-jy4wi]

Love this video!! Butch Brown gave me some sage-like advice one time. He said that when big bass move into shallow water, they are much more likely to strike a big swim bait. He fishes the shallow water in the early morning and late evening and deep water other times. If you are fishing where they live, they most likely strike out of anger and the strikes are often just glancing blows. If you are fishing where they feed they commit to it and inhale the bait. He also said they get kinda stupid when they are in the shallows and feeding.

[@zachb6659]

This is one of my favorite KZbin Chanel's, I love these style of videos. Keep it up

[@bigbaitbattalion4036]

I really like these types of videos man, something I would love to see is a very informative video on how you fish big swimbaits. What baits you use, and how you use them as a tool for catching these trophy fish.

[@andyday554]

I hv always had the mindset to be an over achiever and do things correctly and efficiently to get the best results. Any time I ever under took a task, especially something dear to me, and brother bassing is near and dear, I always took it seriously and with a competitive spirit. I love a guy that goes into the mind and science of something worthy of pursuit. Keep doing what you're doing....you bring joy to us that are of the same mind and spirit as yourself. The best we we can do is leave a positive legacy....

I took my little brother fishing once and he was not interested at all and wanted to go home. He ended up catching an 8-10lb monster bass!! It was honestly one of the coolest experiences I've ever seen. We was quite and him and I were a bit far. I tied on a deep diving red crankbait and that thing chomped on it so hardddd 🎣

Great info buddy. I’ve caught hundreds of bass in many different states, but yet to get a 10 plus. Another good source to learn from is Bill Murphy. His book, “In Pursuit of Giant Bass” is a good source of information on how to catch big bass. He outlines the mindset and methods he learned over years of catching giants. Good stuff brother. I’ve been following you & Liz for a couple of years. Enjoy your videos. Love top water fishing too. Thanks for all you do.

Didn't know it till now my two sons have been watching your videos, we went on a spring break trip to Fall Creek Falls my oldest caught his first double digit Largemouth.

The Wyoming State Record Largemouth (caught in 1992) is 7lbs. 14oz at 21.5", and I'm determined to set the new State Record! I was sooo close this summer but with said P.B. weighing in at 7lbs 7oz at 21.75"!! Absolutely love topwater fishing's especially night fishing!! If ya haven't, try an Arbogast 5/8oz Jointed Jitterbug, by far my favorite trophy bass lure. I'm hooked.lol

Great tips bud, enjoyed the video. Every since I got on the hunt for a new pb I've done a lot of research and have came to the same conclusions. I enjoy reading a about pat cullen too, what amazes me is he caught most of those from small ponds. I began night fishing as soon as I discovered him. Caught some good ones but no DD yet. I'm hoping to get one this fall.

[@wadedeeds1738]

Leaving your drag set loose was what they use to say at lake fork. But know they know have strong strong and tight drag or they will have you hung up in the trees. So strong strong and tight drags is my suggestion 55yrs of experience has proven this. Everything else you said is spot on.

[@dcw3791]

Longtime fisherman, but just now getting more detailed and successful. I've always been told slow movements in the winter for sluggish bass. I caught a 7 lb bass yesterday on 1/4 jig head with twin tail grub. I had been doing all small little twitches to slowly retrieve it. Finally, I had enough and decided to reel it in and head to the house. The moment I pick up my reel speed and the bait skims across the top, this bass comes and snatches it. My question, is that abnormal behavior or was I wrong in presenting a slow and sluggish presentation in my retrieval? I live in NE Ga, south of Athens, and was fishing a farm pond. Wasn't sure if I should treat small water different? Enjoy the informative videos and learn a lot, thank you!

[@poncho439]

I started watching your channel a few months ago and I watched this exact video and used what you said. If you want big fish you have to use big lours. I did that with a big frog and caught a 20+ 7-10lb bass the next day. Thanks for the advise. I'll keep watching and see what I can use

March here in Kansas was my best month this year and I was by myself. Everyone I know won't go when it's not nice out but yet then ask me how to catch big one's.

Thank you for sharing your tips hopefully I can catch a ten pounder this year!

I go muskie fishing a few times per year when I go up to Minnesota and I still only have one! 44.5 incher which is decent but we are always targeting the 50 plus. It's definitely crazy how many early mornings and miles and miles of casting you do to just have the chance at a huge one. And I go with my bro in law who has caught 100 of them now so we are on the spots for sure. Its all he fishes for and he's going to be a guide when he retires. Big fish are where its at!

watched this video about 6 months ago, i caught my pb in december of last year, never got to get exact weight on him but ive heard and guessed from over plenty of different people pros and comparisons to other biggons that my fish was over 14 pounds, ive also started to figure out the fish in florida and i catch big fish more often, caught a 6.8, 6.3, 6.2, 7.89, 7.58, 8.34 and too many 5+s to count in the past 5 months. florida fish like fast rips on lures, rattletrap rips, ripping jigs and letting them fall and flutter, and the huge momma i caught on december was on what i call big jig, a long skirted swim jig with a whole 4.5 inch craw trailer on the back, makes the presentation look larger and they commit more.

This helps a lot. I’m fishing for a 8-9 pound bass in a VERY public pond. I assume he is very smart cause I’ve been fishing for him for 2 weeks. He hates spinners. Spinners spook him. He doesn’t bite on swimbaits. I think the buzzbait might work. Thanks for info.

[@chanmanthegreat1429]

I have seen a bass swim right under the dock at my pond and he has got to be at least 20+ inches long. I couldnt see its belly, but I know it would be my PB if i caught it. I just have no idea how to catch it. the water is SUPER clear and is in southern GA. Lots of sunfish in the water, a few frogs, LOTS of lizzards in the area, small bass as well. I tried jerkbait, crankbait, texas rig worm and craw, spinner, a large jig with a craw attached to it, and I have caught a 3 pounder on a wacky rig about 10 feet from where i saw the big bass. I dont know what to throw.

[@pauleastman54]

Bama, Cullen talks about keeping that rod tip low to maximize hook sets on big fish. My question is, do you do this with buzzbaits too? I was taught to keep the tip up to keep that bait above water.
