$200,000 Yacht Sunk To The Bottom!! (Coast Guard Called)

You never know what you're going to see when fishing!!! We noticed the oil slick, then the life jackets, then the yacht! Once the Coast Guard arrived we gave them the room to work but we hope this worked out for the boat owners! 

Let this serve as a reminder to all of us! Regular boat maintenance is so important! In your bass boat, here are some quick items you can change to ensure that your boat isn't taking on water. Don't let those minor leaks go unchecked. We've had to raise a bass boat off the lake bottom in the past and its not easy!

If you happen to remember that we were fishing in the beginning of the video here is the gear we were using. And if you were wondering what on earth we were doing... 30 foot visibility and Tim's fish had a follower chasing it around... we were after that double hook up.

Insane Underwater Footage!! Bass Eating Jerkbaits + Fishing Tips!

This is the craziest bass fishing footage EVER! The largemouth in this video are destroying every jerkbait we put in front of them! 5 different baits got mangled during the making of this video!

Jerkbait fishing is one of the easiest ways to "trigger" a feeding response in a bass. Where most baits rely on a bass' desire to feed the jerkbait can actually force them to react at an instinctual level. 

We've spent countless hours filming underwater footage of bass reacting to lures and we can confidently say that they consistently react to a jerkbait more than any other lure. The next time you're on the water and the bite gets tough, don't forget to try a jerk bait!

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!
