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!

Amazing Underwater Bass Fishing Footage of Tim Catching a BIG Spotted Bass!

Let's head underwater to watch as Tim fishes for a BIG Spotted Bass with a variety of baits and talks us through what is happening! Want to learn how to catch these big bass? Watching bass behavior underwater is the fastest way to become a better fisherman.

Time on the water has always been the most efficient way to become a great angler. Now that we can head underwater with a GoPro and actually watch the fish's movements and behavioral patterns the time involved in becoming a great angler is shorter than ever before! These videos are more than entertainment. They're a first hand look at the mannerisms that we can't see from the surface.

This particular fish is actually a bed fish. This is a giant female Spotted Bass and she's ready to defend her nest at all costs. Watch how the behavior changes from one bait to the next as she works aggressively to push and carry them away from the bed before finally consuming the baits to stop them. Bed fish of any species can be very aggressive but even in this situation, nothing compares to a Spot.

Tim uses 3 different baits to approach this Spotted Bass...

Spotted bass are amazing predators. They're smarter than largemouth and stronger than smallmouth. What they lack in size they make up for in aggression and in recent years, giant spotted bass have began dominating fisheries across the country, especially lakes like Bullards Bar, Lake Berryessa, Lake Shasta, and Lake Oroville. If you have the opportunity to experience Spotted Bass fishing you need to take the time to try it!

Underwater Footage | Big Spotted Bass Crushing Swimbaits and Jigs!

This Spotted Bass is ready to fight! We positioned a camera below the surface to catch the drama as it unfolds. The bass repeatedly goes on the attack! It viciously eats swimbaits and jigs without abandon. Spotted Bass are amazing predators. They're more aggressive than largemouth and more powerful than smallmouth. This bass is a perfect example of Spotted Bass aggression! 

In case you're wondering, this bass is spawning. Its a 3-4 lb male and is defending its bed. You'll notice though that where a largemouth will sit on its bed and a smallmouth will spin around in circles, a Spotted Bass will actually go on the offense. It rises toward the surface to meet its foe and will not stop until the job is done.
