Get ready for a 31+ lb limit of bass with a spinning rod! Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt is searching for prespawn bass that are moving into the shallows but what he finds is staging fish that are ready to eat! This is an action packed day full of big fish on light tackle!
Typically when we catch 30+ lbs we do it with a swimbait. Today all but 2 of the fish were caught on spinning rods with a mini underspin and a mid strolling bait. These fish were fired up and ready to feed but it took 3 hours for Matt to figure it out. Reading the conditions and being willing to adapt are critical elements of success on the water!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors and sizes for the baits, along with the exact rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Love the video. Ps- can we get pictures of the types of areas you were fishing. Like with the mapping. Not the specific location you were fishing but pictures of contours maybe through lake master or navionics. Would love to see the areas yo target.
What state is this? Catching a 6+ pounder in CT is extremely rare no matter like 10 of them 😂
Loved it til he said he "turned on his Live"
Underspin is money 💰
awesome day on the underspin, Matt!! Thanks for taking us along.
Beast!
Nice catches!!
Underspin is my go to early spring at the ponds and lakes I fish at.
Great video, I think this video shows just how powerful of a tool FFS sonar is. I think being able to find fish shallow and use your instincts is great. Yet when the plan doesn’t work being able to switch over to your FFS and catch them, is a deadly combination.
Maaaatt, take me with you fishing, ALL the gear I got from TW, it’s your fault lmao 😂
Just placed top ten on lake fork 😂
Great video guys!! Perfect timing for this season, keep up the great work!
I love these videos. Perfect timing with the morning coffee. That looked to be one hell of a day on the water! I'm sure there was even more caught between the breaks too!
I always try and guess the weight of fish, on thst 6.4 I guessed it right 😂😂
Please tell me you didn't stop fishing and stayed until
I went out yesterday at 5:45 and same deal.. Cold air temps, 52-53° water temps. I put 5 in the boat before 6:30 on a Spro Little John in red craw. Rest of the day was slow but that early morning bite was awesome
Hey guys, it would be awesome if you could do a video feed out of your live system like they're starting to do on BASS and MLF when you use your Live imaging. It would be very beneficial to see what you guys see on live when mid-strolling or whatever. Just a thought… Thanks for all the great videos!
Tha was a good day of fishin nice beautiful bass like you say incredible
Each bend of that pole is triggering my dial finger to call off work and go to the pond!
Little baits catch biggins too!
Lest go grab you coffe get ready for the lesson today end learn from the best
