  • This is how I catch my biggest bass of the Year, and I did it from the bank! Want to catch big bass from the bank? I hope this video can inspire you to try a few casts in tricky spots, like under trees. I pitched a soft plastic craw under a tree a few times, then BAM! I catch a big bass! I also catch a few smaller bass later on in the morning that proves all sizes of bass like the plastic crawfish. You CAN catch big bass from the bank! I just caught my biggest bass of the year under a tree right next to the bank.

    I knew as soon as you pitched under that tree you would get a bite. Some of the biggest fish, will have the most subtle bites. Crazy! Good job job bro!

    That bass was gorgeous. Love when the big ones go airborne. And I love that you don't just post highlights of big fish like so many do. The majority of the time you're going to get smaller ones. It makes it better when you do catch a big one because the size difference is more obvious and you react like a normal person with that rush of excitement haha. Great vid as usual and that kid had a pretty nice catfish, too.

I'm over in Virginia, but on back to back days, caught a four and a five (probably pushing six) off the bank, from some ponds where I would have been over the moon to find a three pounder for the past decade. Whatever it is, cheers to you! And cheers to me! Nothing better in the world of fishing than finding a monster. Keep up the good work!

    If you don't have a scale, just get an accurate length measurement. There are look up tables based on electronically harvested largemouth bass to convert inches to pounds (the Texas department of game and fisheries is easy to find online). And if you don't have a measuring tape use markings on your rod and measure the length later.
