By far the best honest bass knowledge you can find anywhere.. I've been following for over a year now and haven't missed a video, appreciate you guys, thanks for all the great videos!
"BEST" fishing channel on UA-cam!! Thank you seriously for all the tricks, knowledge and you two are just two humble passionate fishing guys that enjoy sharing knowledge that is REAL and not promoting etc. I've been a sub for a long time, I let EVERY ad play through in support. Please ad a SPONSOR button cause I wanna sponsor your channel! Big love Matt and Tim, thanks again. Tim thanks for your service to the community, that local PD is lucky to have you on board!
Man guys I love the channel, and have for years.. 3 videos a week is amazing. I just hope you guys don't get burnt out on the whole process. I know there is a ton of work going into this channel.
Tim you should have known as soon as Matt said "mind if I go first?" That you were just along for the ride like the rest of us! Awesome video guys...although it kinda hurts watching some of my favorite baits get put out for everyone to see
Matt get well soon glad to see you and your pops survived a terrible accident and event. Prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏. Keep up the good work young man!
Best content out there. Super intellectual guys that seem down to earth. Best fishing channel on UA-cam no B.S. camera angles or cinematic views just legit information. Love it.
I like when you fellas sync up on describing the action @ 2:35 ^_^ .. Thanks for all time/effort you both put in. I can't tell you how many times I've watched one of your videos after a tough day and realized I was doing something completely wrong.
I’ve been subbed since the California swim jig videos, you all have always been great about being honest and spreading knowledge. Easily my favorite channel, keep it up guys!
Great video guys. U just took most of the guess work out summer time swimbaiting. Lots of guys are out there grinding, now they have a awesome starting point to getting bit on big baits in the summer months.
The BBZ-1 works great at very slow speeds too! Actually Bill Siemantel (who created this lure) uses it very slowly most of the time, with some twitches from time to time, specially near key spots so it does a directional change. He fishes it at the slowest possible speed that the bait will still swim.
Matt I enjoy your enthusiasm and you just have a knack for chat. Tim your the man! Laid back and I'm sure full of knowledge and sharp on the water. Would enjoy fishing with you. Don't think my smallies here in Lake Champlain would eat many of these but really enjoy all your vids even if they don't nessisarily apply to me. Have FUN out there
I love your guys advice man more simple and not so intense little easier for us learning still and like you guys said in the top water bait video your doing something different
Awesome timing! I’ve been watching the old swimbait videos and was looking to get new swimbait gear so happy you guys decided to upload this thank you @tacticalbassin
Great video! Make a video showing you fishing and catching bass on those swimbaits in summer with tips about where to fish them. About the baits you talked about in this video: bass here are smaller northern strain and not many big bass. My PB is still 5lbs, caught 16 years ago. I prefer to fish the Gantarel Jr. About the 7" Slammer, I've only got 2 bites on it, one in the winter and one in fall... Can't get a bite on it in the summer. My best summer swimbait is by far the S-Waver 168. Almost broke my PB 2 years ago on it in July. The fish followed the bait and did not bite and I had to fish it really really slow with a subtle quick 1/4 reel handle turn followed by a pause to get it to bite, on my 3rd cast...
First I freaking love you guys. Your hilarious. I fish the backwaters of river systems almost exclusively. I do see small schools of shad swim through every once in a while but I still don't have much luck throwing anything moving unless it's a top water. I fish in Cali so I do run into the occasional 6 or 7lber so my fish are definitely big enough to eat some big baits but they just don't seem interested in moving baits most of the time. Maybe upsizing will be enough to get them interested?
Drew Farmer ..... I've spent a fair share of time chasing "backwater" river system bass here in Cali.....not sure where you are but consistent bites for me on moving style baits tend to be white or chartreuse spinnerbaits ( vary blades depending on season / water clarity )and lipless cranks. Hope that helps....Jeff
I got excited...thought that was a Jackal Mikey on the thumbnail. I did a review on the Jackal Mikey jr, which I think is a sleeper lure. By the way love you guys, I did a review on your recommendation on the LV-500, and now we're inseparable!
Tim you don't get a chance to talk, do you! Lol... Love you guys! y'all both great anglers, keep up the great work. Please come to Virginia and do some videos at Philpot Lake.
Great video, guys. Thanks for making such engaging content. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are my favorite days of the week now (well, those and any day I can go fishing). Idea for you: it seems like so many baits can be used in multiple seasons. Are there baits that absolutely shouldn’t be used in each season? For example, from this video, Huddlestons aren’t good for summer. Maybe a video to help me avoid the wrong baits throughout the year. Thanks again!
I've been bass fishing for 39 years and I learn something from you both in practically every video. Highest level of content on the 'Net. Big thank you from Lake Travis, TX
Lord knows bass do love the bluegill if you’ve ever been catching bluegill and seen a bass coming for your blue gill or straight up takes it that sucker but it’s is a wide fish maybe a crappie stile would be better idk know guys you guys are way ahead of me but I’m getting back into fishing again so this time I’m going to really fish the seasons get out there earlier spring etc like you guys are saying why would I miss the spring run each year living in Northern California near the delta and sac river I’m sure you guys know of the striper run I’m so close yet miss it every year but not the 19 season I’ll be out and this whole year baby
Where does the S waver fit into the bigger picture i.e. when, where etc. Since it was not mentioned in this video? Very cool and informative video. Thanks.
Can you guys do a video on scents? I have heard a lot of talk from other anglers that things like bug spray, sunscreen, smoking, and even marine engine gunk can turn a lunker away. Need to know what you guys think and how to combat that.
I wanna fish kieteck over brush and in timber is a jig head alot better then a belly weight to where you would risk hanging up alot. Or is belly weight as good. I don't have much experience doing this but want to learn it. Thanks a million.
Guys, great content as usual. I'm just getting started in the swimbait game. I'm wondering the length of rod I should be using. I invested in a 9" slammer and want to really get that going, but need some guidance. Your links to the gear are amazing and super helpful, but am wondering a good all around length on the rods. Thanks for being my first stop on MWF for new videos that have stepped my game WAY up this season. Cheers.
love your videos as always! wish you would have had your buddy talk little more and explain his point of views and opinions. great video though and always excited and appreciate the info.
Thank you I'm struggling with it!!the Elites was just here last week and the only one that stuck with a medium swimbait was skeet Reese,they just won't take it
Hey Matt and Tim!!! I found this pond near me in New Jersey with trout in it and I had three bass from 6 to 9lbs follow my slow sinking 6 inch bbz-1 trout. Do you think if I tossed the floater instead, they may have committed? Big swimbait fishing is very new to me.
Have you guys used the River2Sea bottom walker shad? I bought a pack recently to try out and quickly found out they're not a good cold water bait. They look great though and might be ok in the warmer months.
Who else thinks Matt and Tim should start a podcast?
McClovinFishing imagine them on a podcast with Gerald Swindle? 😂
Ufcguru Official LOL oh god, that’ll have to be rated PG-13 at least
Yes
Poor Tim, you can tell he knows how passionate Matt is about BIG BAIT fishing. As always 👌👌
Hahaha Tim is like, what else is new..😂
We need a summer swimbait guide for 2022!! Lol
What these guys know is second to none. Never change TB, y'all like my heroes man!
shtty17 - "Aim low and avoid disappointment!" ; )
By far the best honest bass knowledge you can find anywhere.. I've been following for over a year now and haven't missed a video, appreciate you guys, thanks for all the great videos!
Luke Halvorson ya they have so much info in these videos I just gotta go back and rewatch haha
Luke Halvorson Couldn't agree more. I have watched my share and then some of bass fishing videos on many diff channels and these guys are the best.
AGREED!!
Agreed, these guys are absolutely by far the greatest fishing UA-camrs to ever do it! Two legendary people!!!
"BEST" fishing channel on UA-cam!!
Thank you seriously for all the tricks, knowledge and you two are just two humble passionate fishing guys that enjoy sharing knowledge that is REAL and not promoting etc. I've been a sub for a long time, I let EVERY ad play through in support. Please ad a SPONSOR button cause I wanna sponsor your channel! Big love Matt and Tim, thanks again. Tim thanks for your service to the community, that local PD is lucky to have you on board!
Hands down the best educational bass fishing channel on UA-cam 👍
Thanks Matt and Tim for the support always.
Man guys I love the channel, and have for years.. 3 videos a week is amazing. I just hope you guys don't get burnt out on the whole process. I know there is a ton of work going into this channel.
Tim is the best bait handler i have ever seen
I can't believe how much content you guys are able to cover in such a short time frame, it's amazing. THANK YOU once again!
This channel is the greatest channel for fishing on UA-cam! Hands Down!
Hands down, BEST fishing channel!
Every so often you guy shoot a video that truly makes me realize exactly why I'm addicted to this channel.
Tim you should have known as soon as Matt said "mind if I go first?" That you were just along for the ride like the rest of us! Awesome video guys...although it kinda hurts watching some of my favorite baits get put out for everyone to see
Matt get well soon glad to see you and your pops survived a terrible accident and event. Prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏. Keep up the good work young man!
The swimbait game is something I am trying to get into. These videos really help build confidence knowing the baits work before you go to the water.
9" slammer, light trout, enough said!
Best content out there. Super intellectual guys that seem down to earth. Best fishing channel on UA-cam no B.S. camera angles or cinematic views just legit information. Love it.
I like when you fellas sync up on describing the action @ 2:35 ^_^ .. Thanks for all time/effort you both put in. I can't tell you how many times I've watched one of your videos after a tough day and realized I was doing something completely wrong.
Need more than Father's Day now! Great video guys!
I’ve been subbed since the California swim jig videos, you all have always been great about being honest and spreading knowledge. Easily my favorite channel, keep it up guys!
Great video guys. U just took most of the guess work out summer time swimbaiting. Lots of guys are out there grinding, now they have a awesome starting point to getting bit on big baits in the summer months.
You guys make such a great team...love watching

He fishes it at the slowest possible speed that the bait will still swim.
Could you do a video about water temperature and how it effects bass, I would love to hear your opinions and experiences on that, thanks guys !
Matt I enjoy your enthusiasm and you just have a knack for chat. Tim your the man! Laid back and I'm sure full of knowledge and sharp on the water. Would enjoy fishing with you. Don't think my smallies here in Lake Champlain would eat many of these but really enjoy all your vids even if they don't nessisarily apply to me.
Have FUN out there
The ospreys and bald eagles love the BBZ trout in the summer .
just caught a 8 way back in a 1ft deep creek on the spro 50 rat which i learned about in your rat video, thanks
Good vid. Hope Matt and his pops are doing good.
Continuously fantastic tips and gear reviews thank you! I love the unbiased honest straight to it stuff...awesome
You two crack me up! Great vid!
I love your guys advice man more simple and not so intense little easier for us learning still and like you guys said in the top water bait video your doing something different
Scott Bunning a good angler will always be learning.
Yes finally the video I’ve been waiting for!!! Hooray thank you Matt and Tim, perfect
WHEEL OF SWIMBAAAAIITS!! Solid video guys. Info, info, info, just how we like it.
Informative as always, Tim as the wingman on this one 🤛🏼
Awesome video, I'm always pumped after watching ,
These guys are golden
Before I fish my hudd I’d love for a video of what knot y’all tie fishing for y’alls braid to mono leaders on these big Swimbaits
I learn something different from each video its amazing
Hope you and your Dad are feeling OK. Thinking about you guys.
please do a vid on leaders vs straight fluro for big baits, glide baits, and weedless big soft plastics!
Tim " moral support " Little great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for bass fishing!!!!
Just the video I need guys always been more of a live bait fisherman but this year I’m going for striper and bass
Awesome timing! I’ve been watching the old swimbait videos and was looking to get new swimbait gear so happy you guys decided to upload this thank you @tacticalbassin
Got the 7inch osprey in bluegill and caught a 4lber in a pond!
Have you considered trying the F5 custom swimbait rods? By far my favorite rods to throw. The craftsmanship is second to none and they cast so smooth.
Great video! Make a video showing you fishing and catching bass on those swimbaits in summer with tips about where to fish them. About the baits you talked about in this video: bass here are smaller northern strain and not many big bass. My PB is still 5lbs, caught 16 years ago.

Pretty funny video. I’m giving the big Keitechs a try this year. Fishing deep
You guys have freakishly good timing with these vids...🤔
Lol! Tim’s being such a good sport!
What would be the best rod to throwing the bull shad? And the Bull gill?
First I freaking love you guys. Your hilarious. I fish the backwaters of river systems almost exclusively.

I hope your alright Matt!! I just heard about the accident.Preyers sent to you and your family! Love you brother!

MS Slammer winter time big girls 👍🎣
Tim you don't get a chance to talk, do you! Lol... Love you guys! y'all both great anglers, keep up the great work. Please come to Virginia and do some videos at Philpot Lake.
I keep being unsubscribed!!! Love your guys vids! I've learned so much watching... seriously keep up the great work guys!!! You rock
Tim: keeps noticing fish busting the surface and his anxiety is kicking in. 😂
or really bad a.d.d

How do you guys feel about the Megabass MagDraft?
Great video as always. You guys should have WAY more subscribers than you do. Best informative fishing channel on youtube by far.
Great content as always. Would love to fish with you guys down the road!
Where does the S waver fit into the bigger picture i.e. when, where etc. Since it was not mentioned in this video? Very cool and informative video. Thanks.
Great info guys

Love the content. Love how u suggest gear but will u make a video on how u clean ur reel.

Can you guys do a video on scents? I have heard a lot of talk from other anglers that things like bug spray, sunscreen, smoking, and even marine engine gunk can turn a lunker away. Need to know what you guys think and how to combat that.
You guys are awesome👍🏻
I wanna fish kieteck over brush and in timber is a jig head alot better then a belly weight to where you would risk hanging up alot. Or is belly weight as good. I don't have much experience doing this but want to learn it. Thanks a million.

Can you guys do a review on the new curado 150 dc if you ever plan on picking one up?
Vana I mean tim. Great job!
Awesome information.
That's Tim's new nickname now?😆
Guys, great content as usual. I'm just getting started in the swimbait game. I'm wondering the length of rod I should be using.

Thanks for being my first stop on MWF for new videos that have stepped my game WAY up this season. Cheers.
If ive missed it let me know, but can you do a video on how to fish the line through baits?
love your videos as always! wish you would have had your buddy talk little more and explain his point of views and opinions. great video though and always excited and appreciate the info.
Shout out to Vanna white killed me LOL!!!
Great video as always. I would like to know your guys thoughts on DC reels in a future video. God speed
Thank you I'm struggling with it!!the Elites was just here last week and the only one that stuck with a medium swimbait was skeet Reese,they just won't take it
Skeet did make the top 12 btw,I wasn't able to find out how he worked his Osprey so thanks for this video
Hey Matt and Tim!!! I found this pond near me in New Jersey with trout in it and I had three bass from 6 to 9lbs follow my slow sinking 6 inch bbz-1 trout. Do you think if I tossed the floater instead, they may have committed? Big swimbait fishing is very new to me.
have you tried the 3d trout by savage gear? the hitch, light trout and baby bass kill it down here in florida
Have you guys used the River2Sea bottom walker shad? I bought a pack recently to try out and quickly found out they're not a good cold water bait. They look great though and might be ok in the warmer months.
No Magdraft? I figured you guys would’ve been huge fans of that bait
HOLLY SHIT I JUST SEEN A PICTURE OF YOUR TRUCK!!! Matt I hope your ok. Prayers are with you bud!!! From Stockton,ca
Opinion on the 5inch rubber laser eye shad? I've been knocking down 4-5lb large mouth with it.
TIM AND MATT WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THE NEW CURADO DC 150??????
Gonna have to get me some of those ki techs
Shawn Titsworth ya I have never thrown big swimbait but I want to try those big ki-tech
There's some good "that's what she said" material here
What’s the best time of day to throw that floating BBZ in the mud lines on those busy weekends?
Do you guys ever throw smaller swimbaits in the summer time? Like a 3.3 kitech on the Matt Allen swimbait head?
Have any videos of you smashing em on the ND 180 Matt? Just picked up the Johnny rat an the ND 180 couple weeks ago thing looks killer
