When I tell you I wasn’t prepared to fish in the grass I meant it. Now I gotta go digging through the boat to find rods, rigs, and baits. I don’t even know if this is gonna work, but I gotta try.

MY PROFILE:
I started fishing when I was just a young kid and instantly fell in love with Bass Fishing. Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn’t have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I’ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors. I have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey…it should be an honest and fun ride!
What are you referring to when you say Carolina rig grass? I'm in Fl and there are tons of different grass.
Hands down best content on u tube !!! Glad I stumbled on this great content. Keep it coming
Sweet adjustment
Need the net? Huh?
Great video
Great adjustment and you are right about getting away from the Carolina rig, i like how you show your thoughts process and not being afraid of changing what you are doing, thank you for sharing
I can see a move up the leader board coming soon lol,love the c-rig,cant wait to see,great video buddy
Broke out those thunder crickets…
Outstanding adjustment. Nice to see the C-Rig come out.
Great video. Go get bit.
I like these videos and I hope you do them with every tournament this year.
Appreciate you explaining things!!
Come on bass please be a bass.
I just can't figure out why tournaments can't be won in the grass anymore??? I've seen so many 25 to 30 lbs bags caught like in previous years. It doesn't make sense to me.
No matter what time of year it is, I don’t go to Rayburn or to Toledo Bend without a C-Rig.
Thanks Todd!! Great job.
You sure know how to set up a cliffhanger
When you said I fish for the biggest bag I can catch you gave the best advice a tournament fisherman could ever ask for.
6th Sense has a Prerigged Carolina Tungsten Setup- Will save you time if you break off- Try a Lizard- not sure if it will work in Cold Water- but worth a shot – Slow rolled Colorado Spinner with aStinger
Hook with a Two inch Minnow
Todd, great way to make an adjustment! and not all fish have to be seen on FFS to be caught. That is the difference between old school fishing and what the new guys are doing. Great way to make the best of what you had.
Very good. You give me good ideas to try on my own lake.
These are my favorite videos! Love the info.
I would’ve loved to have been your Co on this day. That lightweight Texas rigged strike king rage cutter worm on a slow retrieve swim’n, slithering & hopn around that grass might’ve played too. Maybe a split shot or heavy swiveled weightless fluke…That’s what I’m feeling anyhow. Also makes me miss the old Mojo line thru cigar weights for c-rign that short grass.
One knocker?
Curious what aspect of the grass made you view it as “c-rig” grass.
I heard transition, and I’d imagine it would be a little less grown up off the bottom, but not sure.
6xD ?
Thanks Todd!


Did you have a 5 foot leader on your c- rig?
These videos hit like crack.
