After watching countless TB videos, I've learned to judge the size of the fish by the laugh that Matt gives after the hookset. Great work Matt as always a ton of fun!
I wanted to say thanks to Tim for me using my spinning rods again. I was so tired of line twist that I put all my spinning gear on the porch. I could not tie an FC knot consistently so I used straight flouro. I thought I will go to TB and see which knot they use a couple of weeks ago. Tim explained how & why he uses a double uni knot. Bingo. All of my spinning gear is braid with a leader now and I love my spinning rods again. TB has helped me in so many ways. Thanks guys.
H> Matt, I have been watching you and Tim from the beginning and your videos never get old. You two are becoming legends in Bass Fishing and hope you two keep making great videos. Thanks! 😎
Right before storms the bass often turn on. My PB was when it was lightly raining on an Arbogast Jitterbug. She hit that Jitterbug like a freight train. I caught five bass in 20 minutes and then the rain stopped and they turned back off.
Hey guys! Thank you for all the information you provide us with, it’s truly a blessing! I recently picked up a 6” Megabass Mag Draft and went to my local pound and caught a new PB! I caught a 23.5” - 8.00 lb largemouth (the video is on my channel). I attribute a lot of my knowledge and success in fishing to your videos! Thanks again and tight lines!
I wish, when your offshore like this, with the burrito or whatever, you'd say in XX ft of water and slow rolling on the bottom or whatever your doing. You don't have to get into a full on lesson but just in general quickly, so we could try to replicate it. I'm in Arkansas with super sharp shorelines , where in alot of cases, you go 20 ft off shore and your in 30+ ft of water, and it keeps going like that to 200+ ft in many places. My boat isn't a super fast boat, so I stay on the lower end of the lake, relatively close to the dam, the majority of time with deep, clear water. Winter, I wreck em, summer, not so much. I still stick good jig fish on deep brush and bluff walls, and have times when cranking fires em up, but it's not consistent the way you guys stick fish.
I love fishing as those summer storms/rains roll in, and I have always thought that the barometric pressure has something to do with it.. What do you think Matt 🤷🏻♂️ I can tell you some of the most epic days I’ve had fishing was just before a rain or storm, and I’m talking over 50 years it rarely fails, and then there’s times right after the rain, and even during 😉🍀🎣🍀 what a great place to live👊😎💯🍀🎣🍀
I never catch fish on the flats probably because I have no confidence doing it and don’t give them a lot of attention. Maybe do a when and how on flats video.
Matt you mentioned you had a blade bait tied on in the beginning of the video. Under what circumstances would you have picked it up and used it? Thank you for all your knowledge and hard work to help us all out
Over the last few years, I’ve been buying a lot of these baits. I think a video guiding us on how to know what day to throw the 5” burrito vs the 6” burrito along with other baits and techniques would be extremely helpful. Sometimes boxes full of baits can feel like too many choices and you are just trying to narrow it down. Love the content as always.
That is such a great question and for me it comes down to what I believe the bass are eating. If I'm seeing threadfin shad in the areas I'm fishing or bass are spitting them up, I throw the 5". If I'm seeing Gizzard Shad or other large baitfish (getting chased, casually feeding on the surface, swimming past me in the shallows, etc) I throw the 6". Going even broader, I get more bites on the 5" but tend to get the biggest bite of the day on the 6". I hope this helps!
Hey man good video but I have a question. Doesn't it all fall on finding the fish then the frenzy begins? That's always been my luck then of course what they want they most at the time
I live in Texas. Lately seeing Low 82 / High 105F....and that's in the shade. Usually zero clouds so add another 10 deg for the feels like temp. I'm wearing a long sleeve sun shirt w/ hoodie, but it's brutal out there. Even so fighting through it best I can and targeting off shore fish seriously for the first time in my life. All the advice and info is greatly appreciated. I still haven't found that mega school of 20-30 quality fish yet but I'll keep trying.
Hey Matt ! Love your videos, been plugging away on my local lake here in northern ca, with big swimbaits in the deep channels and road beds. Do u think summer time in deep water is a good time to fish ultra slow with a 68 hud creeping bottom? The water is crystal clear and deep! Just trying to get some pointers and find out your thoughts ?! The lake is typically stocked with rainbow trout.
I don’t know if they still use it, but I’ve seen one of their knot videos and they suggest the Blood knot. Try searching for their vid on knots. I used the one Tim did with the big red and blue cords to learn how to tie it.
I use the double uni knot here on Chickamauga Lake, here in Chattanooga. I check the knot occasionally to look for fraying of the braid, or roughness close to the knot. At this point, I usually don't chance it, and re-tie. I'm usually using 20 lb braid to a 16 lb fluorocarbon leader, which is about 12 ft long.
Definitely some fun times, love how you kept fishing and just avoided the storms. Quick questions would the expride 7'6" Heavy Fast work for throwing the burrito and Carolina rig? Or is the 7'7" the better option?
I fished the wild west bass tour for a few events. It started with Gary Dobyns, znd sold a few years later. Gone down hill since, and I've since moved to Florida. But for a while it was a legit bass circuit with some real hammers, but now it's a laughing joke.. which sucks for California and west coast cause not many circuits are available with actual coverage and recognition
I was wondering why you called the bait burrito? Did you give it that name or does it come in the package called burrito? I want to try that bait at my uncles lake where he lives in Kentucky!
It would be great if you would show your graph every now and then to show us the structure to look for. I know you said a main lake point but long-gradual or fast drop? ThT kind of thing would be helpful
Just got my first burrito yesterday and trying to catch my first fish on it. Any suggestions on weather to throw the 5in or 6in. Or even when to throw the nacho. Thanks for the help!!!
Good morning tactical family. I asked a question a week or so ago. About what would be. A good rod for the mag draft freestyle. Using a 6. Or 8/0 beast hook I'm looking at the Fitzgerald 7 6 heavy. All-purpose or the Lews 7 6 heavy super duty, but. Open to any suggestions thank you
I picked the 5 inch burrito in the Tactical Shad color, but I’m not sure if I’m fishing it right. I am a bank fisherman using a 7’7” Heavy rod on 65lb braid line you stated before. I’m not having much luck with it, so I wanted to ask you how should I be working this bait? Fast, slow, bottom dragging, mid column?? Appreciate any and all advice.
From previous videos and watching Matt's retrieve, I think he slow rolls it along the bottom with those erratic reel handle twitches. My swim bait and swim jig bites are almost always hard strikes that are unmistakable for anything else.
Finally said screw it and got the 5” tatical shad Burrito. Grabbed a Dimiki 50 to get free shipping. Stay spending all my extra money at TW. Love’n every minute it. Fat Fins My friends ✌🏻😎✌🏻
From all the rain in NY and Vermont, Lake Champlain level has gone up about 3-4 feet. So I was fishing the other day and another guy came over nearby. He didn’t catch anything. I mentioned that because the level was high, I figured that bass would be close to shore near flooded cover and structure. He shrugged and left. Five minutes later, I caught a 3.24 pound largemouth on a June Bug wacky worm.

Very different baits for very different situations. If your fish start congregating on deeper structure (say 8' out to 20-30') that burrito will outperform the glide.
Honestly, I think my main problem with fishing in general is I don't have the ability to fish often enough to figure out any of my local lakes. I'm pretty much stuck with almost every Sunday.
You'll get there man. I have had days where I got bit literally every cast. When I was starting out my friend and I were just learning how to fish a texas rigged plastic worm. For a couple of hours it was literally every cast and that taught us a LOT about plastic worm fishing. We have also had many days we can't even get a nibble. Those days suck. But you just have to keep going out, trying new things, and remember it is supposed to be fun. Even if you aren't getting bit that day. I hope you slay them your next time out! Good luck!

Matt do you still run a hydrowave.I do and love it but since ffs no one talks about it.I use it from post spawn until ice in the north east

Fantastic day on the water! How long of a leader do you tie?😃
Typical 8-10 feet
@@tacticalbassin thanks a million for the quick response! 🤙
Did you see the fish before throwing the burrito on the deep main lake point?
No, just fan casting.

For the 6/0 you're spot on with an Extra Heavy. The 8/0 is a big hook. If you've got a really powerful Hookset you can definitely do it though 👍🏼
Thank you

My last tourney, the water temp was 94, craziness...just fishing in a hot tub basically.
very good vidja

Are you rolling the bait on the bottom. And what does a typically bite on a swim bait/swim jig feel like?
Typical*
From previous videos and watching Matt's retrieve, I think he slow rolls it along the bottom with those erratic reel handle twitches. My swim bait and swim jig bites are almost always hard strikes that are unmistakable for anything else.
@tacticalbassin honestly I’ve never heard of this lure. Does this sink on its own as soon as it hits the water?
What kind of knot are you using?
Coffee drinkers unite, a new Tactical bassin has dropped
Dawnshift at work drinking coffee and watching some TB here!
I would like you to come fish Norfork Lake in Arkansas and make a video
Very good
What knot do you use between braid and leader with the heavier line?
Blood knot 9 turns
This is exactly right 👍🏼 A 9 loop blood knot.
Just gotta fight the heat lol
wow very very nice video💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💞💞💞💞
How long of a leader?
I see that most of the fishing you and Tim do is braid to leader, do y’all not break off leader knots. If not, what knot do y’all tie
What body of water is that??
How long is your raw footage? It looks like it's not more than a couple hours. Also what is your turn around for a video? Days weeks month
i wish they bit like that from the bank during the summer time
People take the summer off? Damn, bass is only open 4th sat in June until 30 November for us!

Without rewatching, I either tied a Palomar or a San Diego jam. Typically with big baits I tie a San Diego jam.
Can’t wait to get my xpride back. Broke a rod guide smh
Lol first!
Haha. Yeah….
Couldn't imagine getting a bite every cast. I'm still struggling to get a bite every time out...

Who needs eyes on their bait? Fish don’t look for eyes before they bite.
@@JustinLee15 for almost $40 you would expect it not to fall apart on the first cast.
