I'm sooooo looking forward to getting some of those. I'm on Berkley's email list to be notified when they are available. That was a killer big ole smallmouth Matt!! Glad you finally landed one with the Nessie. I've never caught one of those. We don't have them around here in Louisiana.
Matt I LOVE these on-the-water bait tests! You get me sitting on the edge of my seat when you hook up with those 5 ib. smallies on the Nessie and the Dime 6. I am sure Berkley is very happy to have doing these videos featuring their baits. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for this video, Matt, super nice smallie! Just what I needed to see after ordering a few 7's, supposed to come in tomorrow, looking forward to practicing with them a bit before it gets warmer.
Wish I could get my hands on those right now. 😂 Side note, hover rigs and tush rigs are now being sold in my local tackle shops up here in Canada. As you might have guessed, they sold out fast. Lmao..
Got one tied on for tomorrow, along with a jig and a couple cranks. A spinner bait and bladed jig in back up. Probably get out there and have to rethink it all. 🤔
I know one notable big bait guy who puts an extra treble on the line tie as a stinger. He says the nature of the bait they often go for a head shot and will miss the trebles farther back but one on the front will stick them
Man I'm still waiting to get my hands on a couple of those. I never fished a Glide bait before but when I seen the videos of them I've been wanting to try them ever since. The Nessie that is not other glyphosate
These on water videos I really like, so glad you were able to get a biggun, that SM being so big it had a pretty good size mouth & was able to get hooked up, you definitely need more practice with it, I seen this past year on the BPT more anglers using one, it does attract big fish!👍🎣
Your video reminded me of a fish my buddy caught earlier this week. We both fought it for about 15 minutes each. It was a 5 ft long Alligator Gar and we estimated that it weighed between 100 to 120 pounds and was caught on a 100 series green/ chartreuse Bandit crankbaits with 12 Seaguer basic florocarbon line . It was hooked in the eye socket which made him a free swimmer. See
Beautiful smallie! Have some 5" versions of the Nessie on my TW wish list. Looks like another month or so wait. Just wondering about your opinion on whether the bait will be more effective with or without the hook fixed in the retainer clip? Also, if leaving it out encumbers the bait's action?
Nice fish. Quick observation. When a bass hits a glide bait way out, don’t real the bait back in to cast again. The bass is already fired up, let the bait sit still, then twitch twitch… twitch twitch and many times, the bass will turn back on the bait and attack. 🎣👍🏻
You ever drop the boys off to their friends and the other dads/ parents see the truck and boat and are like “o you fish for a living?” With a blank stare bc they really don’t understand what it’s all about lol
When it comes to which company i respect more, between Megabass and Berkley today, i definitely respect Megabass more. Why? Because Megabass is owned by a genuine diehard bass angler. Today, Pure Fishing and Berkley are owned by Carl Icahn. I don't think he even knows what a Bass is. He probably thinks he owns a guitar company 🎸😂
I was upset over the flag knock off but these are cheaper and easier to get. Don't seem to need tuned as much. My flags are full of nail weights. But mainly on the right side?. Every time i see your hat i want some sweet baby rays jerky.
If you’ll rewatch your own video, may take a couple of times, you’ll find out why you didn’t get the others to commit 🤔 Don’t worry you’ll get it. Just watch your surprised catch.
@@MattStefanFishing the first hook up happened as a reaction when you made it run. They were following the whole time. It's why musky and pike anglers swirl their baits in the water next to the boat when they have followers. Just saying, but I'm sure you already knew that. Tight Lines Champ!
@secretbassrigs oh no doubt. Give it a couple of years and every company will be making both of them. Unfortunately that's just the way it goes in the fishing industry

Great to see that BIG'UN at the End , Matt !!! Thanks and Good Luck , Tomorrow !!!
thanks!
Nice one. Thanks for sharing. I believe those big smallies like to follow and study the bait. Those rascals. 😂 I agree, nice bait.
Yes they do

Waty to go Matt, that was a super nice smallie, I love that glide bait bite, no wondering if they got it, all or nothing with this bait.
Thanks 👍

organophosphorus compounds are not all made the same.
At least the Cull Shad is available again.
Does Mend-It come by the gallon?

Got mine ordered. Just waiting on them to come in.
awesome!
Solid video. What was your rod/reel/line for the setup? What would your follow up bait be in a tournament?
hover rig for follow up and i was throwing a 7'4" MH fast action with 15lb fluoro
MHX---blank for sure!!!!!!
I am excited to try that bait for sure! So cool.
Go for it!

I'd like to see you do some saltwater fishin'. And I'd like happy to take you if you want to try the Chesapeake.
me too but i live in WI
@@MattStefanFishing do you have tournaments on the East Coast?
Thanks Matt , I have not got my hands on one yet
they are sweet
They're not available yet. Berkley is still trying to fix their Cull Shad debut FAIL!
50% off
@@MattStefanFishinggeez Matt. I thought referring people to Pure/Berkley was supposed to help.
@@MattStefanFishingwhy's it got to be so complicated?
Monster! They seemed to like it fast. Go get 'em!
will do!
Would you fish this in submerged vegetation in florida
Yep

i like having it in the mounting system as it makes it more streamlined
Good video Matt 🤛
Thanks 👍
What type of area are you fishing? A flat? Just would like to know what your approach was, structure or contour wise, thanks
flat with scatterred rock on it
How would you compare the Nessie to the Cull Shad Matt?
i havent used the Cull shad yet.
Don't know who had more fun
Hank or you ? 😂
It's the same for me. Be it wake, glide or swim. Heartbreak or heart attack.
yep
🍺Nice fish. Nice video. Nice day. Now time for me to get a nice drink.🤠
i second that!
🍻

it will happen!

They know... They just won't admit it.
very few people understand what it means to be a professional bass fisherman
Gorgeous fish. But your title made me hope you were fishing it in salt water, I fish for stripers.
I wish!
Nice smallie, that bait is making a lot of noise 👍
noise?

You should get some jerky!!!
I'm sure Hank had a blast.
he did!
unfortunately I've never had much luck with glide baits
they are fun to play with!
Try a smaller version. They're not much different than flukes.
Dang, Big un
yep!

You're fishing it too slow for pike.
seemed to do just fine
@@MattStefanFishing the first hook up happened as a reaction when you made it run. They were following the whole time. It's why musky and pike anglers swirl their baits in the water next to the boat when they have followers.

That’s the point. Keep those slime monster garbage fish out of the way.
