2020 if the virus has you trapped at home, we understand your pain..... 2021 We've moved to Tennessee...... LOL good call homies.
What time of the year is best to use a big swimbait
When you hit a school or area & catch several, do you ever switch your HydroWave to a frenzy pattern to keep the fish active?
Champs.
53:04 You're welcome
Man I wish you guys did more of these. I want to see you travel to Ohio. Just to see how you guys do against some of these extremely pressured fish up here
Hey guys, love y’all. What’s the deep yones fishin’?
Cool
Nice! I would have boat flipped her too!😬🤪🙏🏼🤑💪🏻😎
8.44lbs boat flip...insane 😂😂😂 taking no chances.. get in here!
Fished many a tournament on Clear Lake 30 years ago. I was there when Fred Borders set the lake record with 5 fish weighing 40+ pounds. I've often wondered if Bob Todd is still alive. Watch out for that sandbar in Rodman slough.
I also fished that tournament when Fred broke the records. I fished from No. Hollywood Marine with Hawk, Wilson, Finwall, Hopper, Folkstad... Bob Todd was a good man (owned the motel and Ranger Boat dealership there). I've been on Lake Conroe (TX) for the last 30 years and don't know if he's still alive. After hitting a duck in Rodman slough, we planted a 20' Ranger on that sandbar you mentioned (Rodman was no wake, as you know). If no one complained, did we break the speed limit in that slough?
Tim’s boat flippin 8s and I’m netting 5s
I need to check my bank account, I feel like I just paid for a guide trip.
yea just have fun from N.C.
👍👍👍👍🔥
he boat flipped that...wtf is he smoking hahaha i love it
For me this a rigs is like stealing there is no honor catching the fish with that lure
Put her in live well for a little bit . Shit Its going home.....
gross raw footage sucks. atleast be talking. where is big bass
22:02 thanks
Just started watching you guys and I've enjoyed every episode so far. Thanks for all you do and good luck out there!
got enough room up there matt... ? lol you got your partner with one foot on the gunnel.lol Love the straight fishing video!
I can’t fall asleep so this is what I do
Pouring
gay
how many hooks can you fish on a a-rig in California ?
@TacticalBassin- Unless you're fishing a tournament where governing body rules apply.
@TacticalBassin good morning TB so if i'm throwing a a-rig only three of the six or seven baits can only have hooks ? thanks and i'm learning so much from your videos
Three
Do you guys ever talk about how to set your reel drag ?
No. What's to talk about? In most cases, it's a mistake to rely on a reel's drag.
Would like to see more of these!!
Clearlake California?
well, yeah...
Amazing fishing
good job y'all - made me shiver in south Tx in August just watching!
wonderful fishing time
great friend, big big fish, greetings successful friend, hopefully you will be given health and the channel will continue to move forward, friend.
I couldn't sleep till like 6 this morning oof
"Let me dry some of the rain of these lens." _ proceeds to leave a giant smudge in the center of the screen
Yeah, everyone just can't be perfect, like you.
How Shallow are yall fishing?
Those lures tho
Matt is the master
Dudes, I can do that from my living room, fish all day, catch nothing, where is the giant bass that was in the header ???? click bait ?
Gee, I must've missed seeing your video submission, Ron.
All the cut points are in the description. We don't do clickbait. Not only does he catch it, he boat flips it 😉
Love this video more than others weirdly, I can actually get work done while listening to the water and casting, and then you still sprinkle in that wisdom and knowledge. Also feels like I'm hanging out with ya. Haha. Thanks for the great content guys.
How am I just seeing this? ! One question, how is it better doing the quick reel rather than twitching the bait with the rod tip? I've tried it but been using my rod all my life so feels very strange. But ALWAYS willing to adjust if it'll help. Starting with my favorite jerkbait! LOVE IT! So do the pike up here unfortunately. ;)
It doesn't matter to me. Down here in South Florida we have a lot of those wooden or metal
Who cares?
Is clear lake still having that algae problem?
What problem?
Gotta another tourney this Saturday..its gonna be 95 and partly cloudy. What are my best options...? Falls lake nc
Try a drop shot off the deep end of docks near deep water. Been slaying them with drop shot weights that have a rattle in them
1:17:14 - great video! What about dragging a weighted soft plastic swimbait in the mud? I don’t know if that was in the tackle box.
Hey man, my lures hooks are getting resting. Is there way to clean and prevent it?
Hey man, yes, there is.
Good job bos.. Very nice.....👍👍👍🇮🇩🌐 .
am i the only one who woke up and was in the middle of watching this
Couple less ads would be cool. I gave up after a few time stamp views I assume every stamp has an ad.
You assumed incorrectly. The ads are sporadic and its news to us they're even running. The first month or two this video only had a couple ads total.
My home lake just opened up last week! We just went into the green phase last week, Felt great to get out on my home waters. But theses videos helped get me through! Thanks Guys! Stay safe and healthy
glad i watched 20 minutes to see the boat flip damnnn
Is there an app for your phone that works like a fishfinder to tell water depth and whatnot?
In case no one ever told you, the information you get on any app needs to come from somewhere. Especially a real time app.
Clearlake, CA? My hometown lake! Some of the best fishing!
Clear lake California?
Geez 3 hour long video and only like a couple fish, learn how to edit!
@Murph Roberts the world is full of absolute morons now. It has to be bad parenting.
@James Tyler- I know his mother and she does.
Read the title and don't be a dick. Id be surprised if your mother doesn't regret having you.
This is awesome, I wish you guys would do more of this.
Your need a video editor.. nice catches though.
the most boring fishing video,,,
Yeah, reality sure sucks, doesn't it.
You guy's were having some fun out there! Lol awesome advice and tip's, awesome fish and boat flipping a giant makes for an awesome video!
Unedited fishing videos and this strawberry diesel has to be the most relaxing thing on earth....
Boat $8000. Trailer $1200. Rod and reel $220. Bait $30.. Free Fish!! :)
You must be buying shit used, huh?
What a great video...you guys are thoughtful!
"thoughtful". Absolutely.
He is a savage for boat flipping that monster lol
Did everybody just say that he’s throwing in a red
Dude ALworld blew up your video!! This video has eleven commercials or more. You tube needs to calm the f*ck down. Lol
Good job
Guys!! Seriously you need to try a Fliptail Fuddle Bug as a chatterbait trailer!! It's amazing!!
As soon as Matt pulls his fish out the water its "hey buddy" nearly everytime. I love it!!
Your videos are full of awesome tips. Keep up the good work!
Love the raw footage
where is Clear lake?
Love it how he thanks the first fish he caught. Fish is like screw you buddy wish you knew how to take out hooks so you wouldn't keep getting them stuck in me thanks for what just let me go already.
Caught me a 7# bass the other day just before it rained didn't hit any thing for so long then bam then a 15# cat then another bass about a 3# then that was it fun stuff.
Wondering why you put the 8.4lb bass in the live well? Im guessing the oxygenated water hepps her recover? Great vid you guys are kickin ass.
Yep helps her relax and recover. After a few minute we photographed her and released her where she was caught.
Fishing with a school of minnows. Nice
Fished many a tournament on Clear Lake 30 years ago. I was there when Fred Borders set the lake record with 5 fish weighing 40+ pounds. I've often wondered if Bob Todd is still alive. Watch out for that sandbar in Rodman slough.
You guys should do a raw footage of just full out swimbait fishing!!!
Cutest fishing couple I ever seen before lol
They don't swing your way, sweetie.
Lived for 10 years in Lakeport Lagoons on the north side of Clear Lake. Had so many great days fishing with my friend next door Chuck. Many fond memories.
Awesome video. Good decision and kudos to you making a super long, uncut vid. So valuable. You guys ought to do the exact same long, uncut video, but include a smaller screen with live video on radar showing the spot underwater while you fish. Both pilings, wood for me.
you guys look like your fishing in Ohio was about to start A-rigging but with the COVID19 and just starting a new job, money is at a minimum to think of buying tackle truly jealous I would flip that bass in the boat
Great Video, I liked the length!
Couldn't wait for any longer, lousy weather and all, got 16 in CT and its 45 degrees and getting colder, thank god for a private pond. Thanks for the video, motivator for sure!
Hey guys thanks for the video. What part of the lake were you fishing? I don't recognize the area.
Absolutely loved that style of vid... Keep em coming
@TacticalBassin A guy asked where you were fishing but you ignored his question. Some kind of big secret?
Thanks! Will do!
🤜🤛🦈🐟
fala aí meu amigo quem falou Nelson do canal Nelson Costa pesca e família do Estado do Rio de janeiro Itaboraí estamos juntos vamos que vamos ótima pescaria o canal top um grande abraço amigo 🤜🤛👍🏿😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Im 40 seconds in .... you guys are dope! "Thank you. Happy fishing. God bless!"
Thank you for this !!! Just 3wks ago i caught my personal best 9lb and they shut all my lakes down. Needed to see some fish get smashed !!! Thanks you 2 have thought me a lot !!!
Anyone else watch this in the shower to get the full immersive experience?
yuk, yuk..
More videos like this please.
Man this video made my stomach hurt. Hope nobody in my area watched it. Lol. You guys just showed people the most important thing they could learn if they paid attention. Everybody has all same baits. No secrets. Location and presentation separates a lot of people. And the reel jerking and rod popping is how we've out fished a vast majority in our area of world and made a decent living fishing tournaments. Great video guys.
This was a great video. I ran it the full length. Watched while I re spooled a new spinning reel. Bought my first two A Rigs. Thanks guys, watch all the time.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice first bass. That 8.4 lber was just amazing... Bought 2 A Rigs within 5 minutes of watching that....haha not that I"m influenced by youtube vids or anything.
Gave you a full 3 hours of watch time on this one boys. Nice day I'm Jealous!
Thanks!!
1:27:00 that view is amazing!
New sub earned your channel is gold it has helped me alot already I've watched several of your videos so far plan on watching more you work real hard on these all the information you type in the description,the editing,the cost and time as well all around great content very helpfull. They're are alot of content creators out theyre in the ALworld world but not everyone has a knack for it clearly you do thanks for sharing with the world!

8lb Bass caught @ 21:45
Please do many more videos like this, even after all of this is over! Reminds me of just watching fishing on t.v in the morning with my dad and paw paw.
