10 Best Underwater Bass Strikes Of All Time!!

These are the most ferocious strikes you've ever seen! Giant bass eating swimbaits, running down jerkbaits, and exploding on topwater lures! This is the culmination of years of underwater filming of bass in their natural environment. You don't want to miss it!

There is so much to be learned watching how these bass interact with each other and with the baits. You can begin to spot the "triggers" that draw a feeding response and you can clearly see the impact that schooling fish have on one another. You can also see how minor mistakes made by anglers result in lost fish time and time again.

We're starting with number 10 and counting are way back to the most amazing underwater bite we've ever captured! When the video is done be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you learned, which bites were your favorite, or ask any questions that might arise.

Below are links to all of the baits you saw the bass targeting in this video.

Super Fluke, Megabass Vision, Pointer 100, Jackall and more! If you want to see how bass ambush your lures this video is for you! From slow moving soft jerk baits to aggressively snapped hard baits, the bites are vicious! 

Whether you're a soft jerkbait fisherman or you prefer hard jerkbaits, there is a ton of information to be learned from this footage. Its amazing to watch how many of the fish eat the bait head first, eat it in 2 bites, slash the bait, ambush from below, etc.

Epic Underwater Footage!! **With Bed Fishing Tricks**

Wonder why some guys always catch BIG BASS? Here's the trick to catching big ones during the spawn! Most anglers use the same baits, same gear, and same "tricks" year after year while expecting to suddenly have different results. Don't keep following the same old routine this Spring, its time for change!

So what makes one angler better at sight fishing than another? Why is one angler's Spring bass fishing better than another's year after year? There are a lot of different factors but in this video we're covering the EASIEST change you can make to your fishing to start seeing results tomorrow. Stop throwing the same bait cast after cast. Stop throwing the same color bait to every bed fish you see. Success during the spawn is all about adaptability!

Underwater Sight Fishing - Which Lures Work Best?

Ever wondered why one lure works better than another? Let's head underwater to see the differences between a variety of swimbaits. As we watch, Tim explains why each bait is effective and how to use it most effectively. 

We're sure you've noticed that many youtubers throw small swimbaits for their underwater footage. Wondered why? Its very easy to get a bass interested in a swimbait. Bass are hardwired to defend their nests against predators. 
Swimbaits are a perfect imitation of a variety of predators that bass face. However, a swimbait is rarely the best bait for CATCHING the bed fish. For this style of fishing they have an incredibly poor hookup to land ratio. You're much better off using a small swimbait as a tool to aggravate the fish, then using a traditional bait to get the final bite. 

The swimbaits...

You do not need a dedicated swimbait rod for this technique because you're not actually trying to hook the fish on this setup. However, bait control is key so you do need a very stout "flipping" style rod to control the bait on short casts. Any flipping rod will work but here is our setup...

Rod- Shimano Expride 7'11" XH: http://bit.ly/2nTq9FL
Reel- Shimano Curado 200K 7:1 Ratio: http://bit.ly/2tHewEh
