BIG Swimbaits vs. BIG Bass! Underwater Fishing Footage!

Giant Bass, Big Swimbaits, crystal clear water, EPIC FOOTAGE!! These fish are so aggressive they even hit the camera! We've captured a lot of underwater footage over the last few years but nothing like this! Watch these monsters come unglued on these big baits. 

Its amazing to watch the interaction between these two bass. They seem to get super aggressive and calm back down, and in some instances calm each other down. Bait placement and movement seemed to be the key. Even movement that doesn't appeal to use seemed to trigger a feeding or defensive response in these fish.

Underwater Drop Shotting | Crystal Clear Bass Fishing Footage!

This is the clearest Underwater finesse fishing footage we've ever captured! We even included the "above water" angle so you can get a full picture of what is going on. These bass can't resist the drop shot and the finesse tube. 

Spring smallmouth are incredibly aggressive, especially when the spawn begins. Its very educational to watch how they interact with the finesse baits. We were amazed to see that the fish's dorsal fins stand up as soon as the baits touch the surface of the water. Before they can see the worm they're already on high alert, waiting for it to arrive.. It makes you wonder what else they're aware of!

BIG Swimbaits Getting DESTROYED! Epic Underwater Footage!

We got the CRAZIEST Underwater Footage you've ever seen of bass eating swimbaits! These fish are SMASHING glide baits and soft baits right in front of the camera! We all love underwater footage of bass fishing but this takes it a step further!

If you've ever wondered if bass really eat big swimbaits, you have to check this out! The old adage that big baits equal big fish couldn't be more true! 

You might notice that we were fishing these baits very erratically. This is not necessarily how we would fish these baits in a typical scenario, this was an attempt to draw a "reaction strike" from the fish in front of the camera. A slow, methodical retrieve is typically better suited for open water.

Underwater Bass Fishing Footage + Fluke Fishing Tips

If you throw soft jerk baits you need to watch this video! Learn multiple ways to rig the fluke for different conditions as well as how to "trigger" a feeding response from wary bass. These fishing tricks work for Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass so be sure to give it a try the next time you're on the lake! 

Jerkbait fishing is great for catching bass throughout the year. Its so versatile because you can fish it aggressively as a topwater, moderately as a soft jerkbait, or ultra slow like a weightless senko or on a Carolina Rig. 

Our finesse jerkbait method allows you to hook fish more effectively and also allows you to use lighter line to catch pressured bass. This method has been extremely effective for us and we're confident it will help you improve your fishing as well.
