Two Bites, Two Fish, 55 lbs!!!

CRAZIEST FIGHT EVER! Two Stripers weighing a combined 55 lbs both smashed glide baits at the same time! The amount of power these fish had was incredible! Come along for the ride!

Even guys that don't like fishing for Striped Bass know how hard they can pull. There is no denying the torque these fish can put on your equipment! Add in some current and you better hold on tight! These two monsters bit back to back on glide baits and went ballistic!

 Here is the equipment the guy's used to tame the fish...

10 Bass Weighed 81 lbs?!?! The REAL Story Behind This EPIC Photo!

You've seen this photo but you've never heard the story! Heart wrenching, painful, and epic, all at the same time! If you want to hear the heart and soul behind TacticalBassin, you've got to check this out!

Tim was as low as you could be. After more than a week in NICU with his youngest son struggling for life, Tim hit rock bottom. There was no where left to go but to the lake. He just wanted to clear his head... he had no idea he was about to begin the most epic week of fishing he'd ever experienced! When have you ever heard someone say they were hooking 6-10 lbers on every cast? Its almost unimaginable but that is exactly how it happened!

Here are all of the baits the fish were eating that week...

Two GIANT Bass, One Swimbait!! CRAZY!

From bad, to worse, to EPIC! You've got to see it with your own eyes to believe this insane big bass catch! Two fish on one cast is crazy but doing it without a rod, how is that even possible???

The cast started like any other but when Tim's S-Waver was clipped off his line by an aggressive fish it went downhill quickly. He thought the bait was lost until he saw movement in the water. A 2nd flash revealed two fish struggling with one another for control of the swimbait. In the midst of the commotion Tim was able to slip a net under them and successfully land the two fish without the use of his swimbait rod. CRAZY!

If it weren't for the footage it would just be another fish story. You've got to check it out!

Matt's MOST EMBARASSING Moment

FISHING FAIL and it happened in a tournament! Not weighing in anything at all would have been better than this mess! Weighing an entire 5 bass limit for less than 5 lbs was a really sobering experience. 

Thanks for listening to this embarassing story. Its all in good fun, we've all had those tough days we don't forget but that's what keeps us coming back for more. Don't let my experience deter you, Collins Lake is an awesome fishery! Here is the link to Tim telling the story of his 15 lber: https://youtu.be/pJt8qY0S6gY
