Summer Topwater! Big Fish Can't Resist In Shallow Water!

Summer topwater is amazing! Come along on this evening session as Tim gets bit cast after cast on top! He ends up with way over 20 lbs for 5 smallmouth and a TON of BIG bites! Watch as he switches from finesse baits to topwater, then dials in an exact pattern targeting big fish around hard bottom contours. 

No matter the species of bass you're targeting, topwater should have a place in your arsenal during the Summer months. Not only is it fun to throw and exciting to see as the bass erupt on the baits, it tends to get a larger bite than many subsurface alternatives. Tim and Tonya fished this lake briefly a few days prior and caught a few quality fish but the moment Tim picked up the topwater it seemed like every fish in the lake got BIGGER!

Below you'll find links to the exact gear used in the video. From the topwater baits to colors, to rod and reel combos, we've included everything. We've even included some of our other favorite topwater walking baits. All the links go directly Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

4 Hours In Texas, Catches A 10 LB Bass!! Tim's INSANE Day On The Water!

Tim caught a Texas giant! He's driving cross-country with his friend Wes and bad weather ahead forces them to stop in a small Texas town for the night. They decide to hit a nearby lake for a half day before getting back on the road and chaos ensued! They caught 45 bass, had over 34 lbs for the best 5, with a 10.28 lb kicker! Come along for this whirlwind half-day adventure!

The bass had baitfish cornered in a cove, Tim and Wes took full advantage, using a variety of shad-imitating baits to draw reaction strikes. Most of the fish, including the 10 lber came on a brand-new rig that we've been designing with Hog Farmer. Its a 6-wire A-Rig built to our exact specifications so the days of endless A-Rig modifications can finally be over. The HogFarmer TacticalBassin Flex Rig is available for pre-order here: https://bit.ly/38xd1es and should be shipping in 2-3 weeks. 

These fish were in a full pre-spawn feeding frenzy! After all the cold that hit Texas, the bass needed to bulk back up before heading into Spring. They were using bushes and trees as ambush points to attack the shad and the guys were able to capitalize on the behavior. They only had a few hours to fish before getting back on the road but they made the best of it and will never forget this awesome day of Texas Bass Fishing! 

All of the baits they used, the exact colors, as well as their gear, are linked in the description below. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
