Underwater Footage Of A Teener! | The Biggest Bass We've Ever Seen Underwater!!

Have you dreamed about a TEENER largemouth? Here is your chance to see one up close! This UNDERWATER look at 13+ pound bass in her natural habitat is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Catching a bass of this size is life changing, we're incredibly blessed to have one interact with the camera so we can all enjoy her together!

Bass of this size rarely come without sacrifice. With this monster the sacrifice came at the hand of a fellow angler. This MONSTER bass was hooked on a swimbait earlier in the day by a good friend but she came to the surface and jumped free! Once he was sure he wouldn't get another opportunity to catch her he shared the location with us so we could bring you this epic underwater footage!

We didn't catch this fish, in fact we didn't even know she was there until Tim got home and went back through the footage. Tim did catch the male and it weighed 4.3 lbs. Keep that size in mind when you see the little male next to that GIANT bass! A bass of this size deserves to be honored and if you're a bass fisherman with a pulse, this is a video worth watching! A true teener in her natural habitat... amazing!

Reaping the Rewards

In a recent post I talked extensively about commitment and how sticking to your game plan will eventually pay off. You may come up empty handed day after day but if you keep going your turn will come. I’m not saying you won’t catch fish along the way, and depending on what your particular goal is you may reach is sooner than later.
Its important to understand that across the country goals vary. You may be looking for your first swimbait fish, a 4 lber, an 8 lber, or for the Texans in the crowd, a Share-a-Lunker. Or maybe you’re just looking to catch more fish, these are all great goals and are all achievable in time. Whatever your goal is, creating a game plan and following through is the only way to achieve it.
Yes, you can hire guides, use live bait, or try to glean something from the “dock talk”, these things can speed up the learning curve but in the end nothing replaces time on the water.
On a recent trip I was rewarded with a beautiful 11.5 lb bass. The fish was great, but the conditions were anything but. Most anglers had already given up and headed for the ramp but we decided to hold out and fish a little longer. I was armed with a sweatshirt and flip flops, not the sort of gear one should be wearing during a harsh spring storm in the mountains. Logic said to pack up and head for the protection of the truck but my goals mandated that I continue to fish.
Through the shakes, shivers, and yeah, a little bit of whining, something magical happened. The bite turned on. Out of seemingly no where two fish bit back to back. We went from no fish, to two fish for over 17 lbs

The moral of the story is to keep going. Remember to respect your surroundings and know your limits but if at all possible stick to your plan. The big fish are there and when the time is right, they bite. If you wrap it up and head for the ramp you’ll never know what could have been.

Punching at its finest

A few months back I had the pleasure of doing some punching with my friend Justin out on the CA delta. At the end of the day Justin spent a few minutes talking about he had learned and his thoughts on punching. That video was posted here and many of you have already watched it: Punching the CA Delta
Since then Justin has been out catching fish and was nice enough to send over this clip. I was told these fish were caught using the Miller punch System from millerpunchinweight.com and from all appearances, they’re worth giving a try. I hope you enjoy the video!

Have you been on a great punch bite this year? Leave a comment and tell us all about it. Better yet, did you get it on video? Send us an email and we’ll get it on the site.
