How to Catch BIG Bass (Not Numbers) — My Top 6 Baits for Every Water Column

How to catch big bass isn’t about luck — it’s about strategy. In this Tackle Tip Tuesday episode, I’m breaking down my personal approach to targeting big bass instead of filling the boat with numbers. Whether you’re bank fishing from the shore, working structure from a kayak bass fishing setup, or running a full rig, these bass fishing tips and techniques will help you find and hook the giants.

I’m walking you through my top six bass fishing baits — two for every zone of the water column. You’ll get my two favorite topwater lures for explosive early-morning blowups, two mid-column presentations that trigger suspended largemouth bass, and two bottom baits that drag trophy fish out of deep cover. Every bait selection is backed by on-the-water experience targeting quality over quantity.

These are battle-tested bass fishing techniques I rely on as a tournament kayak angler. If you’re serious about catching trophy bass and want to upgrade your approach this season, this is the breakdown you need. Tight lines, and remember: the water always meets the Word.
