Watch these bass attacking all kinds of lures! They’re ambushing jigs, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and even topwater! We’re studying their behavior to understand what makes them lash out. When we know what causes them to let one lure pass by and then suddenly eat the next, we can adapt our fishing. Studying underwater footage will make you a better angler and let’s face it, watching a giant bass explode on a Whopper Plopper is pretty fun too!
Triggering a feed response is more than just using the right lures, its knowing what it takes to get a fish to feed. Its amazing to see the similarities regardless of the lure. The same hop of a jig that causes the bass to lash out with fool a mid column fish when you twitch the jerkbait. There is something about that break in cadence, that extra twitch or hop, that causes those fish to lash out.
Below you’ll find links to all the baits in the video. We’ve included the exact colors we were using along with any upgrades, including hooks on the S-Waver and trailers on the jigs. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Great video thanks for letting me know what kinda of lure to use
Incredible footage man! Yes, I certainly did learn a few things about different retrieval techniques with different types of lures. Ive fished my whole life but when it comes to artificial baits,you've got to have a certain technique in order for the bait to do as intended.
Finally found this video….that was AWESOME!
Everything all these guys have said. This is amazing. I want to learn how to fish these lures properly. Will be looking for instructional videos on how to actually work these lures couple with the underwater footage. Thanks a trillion!!!!
Imagine if bass was 20ft long we wouldn't stand a chance. Good thing bass aren't that big and don't eat people.
Rrrreeeeeeeeeeeèeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeèeeeeeee eeeeeeee
Am I the only one getting pissed when they spit it out lol
Another absolutely marvelous video of underwater actions by bass. It really helps to see the fish reactions to a bait. You are right about getting in the practice of "one more" as I've visually watched fish take one of my lures just as I was about to speed it up for recovery. I've seen bass take for example a spinnerbait 3-5 feet from the boat or shore because I believe I was keeping the speed steady all the way until I had to pull it up. I think sometimes they are so close to us and we just don't know it. Varying speed or a final twitch or two are also good practices with the best rule of thumb being "stay with your cast all the way until you have to pull out the lure." I know I have to be as committed to each and every cast as a bass commits itself when it decides to strike. That's the best way for me to catch more fish. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication to bringing us these awesome incredible underwater videos (as with all your vids) and your accurate information with them. Take care, stay safe and great fishing to you.
well said, thank you
good stuff man.
im here cuz 2 days ago doing some nice time fishing 5:30-7:30 pm zone when water settled down, became calm, sun starting to set, quieter all around and bass were hitting non stop. what i noticed was as i reeled in one with lure stuck to outside of mouth, i saw 4 other bass follow him in giving chase !!!… all the way to the shore trying to take it from him. i think they wanted the meal/lure too. iv never seen that before. one was large one of bunch maybe 2.5 pds.
it was like hungry agressive seagulls in parking lot chasing food people throw out.
Don't talk-record….
Thanks for videos
This is cool 👍
Yeah take away #1 I wonder how many 5 pounders spit my jig out while i was getting out birds nests
my favorite part about this footage is the sound of the force being exerted during the strike. when the bass smashes that jerkbait you hear an audible thump which is gnarly
Great job guys……………Thank you
Matt I have a question, How do you keep the pike off your line when bass and pike are in the same places, I loose a lot of lures as i don't use leaders ?
Incredible footage! Thanks for posting this
Good stuff man!
Awesome. Thank you.
i learned something for sure. Ive been bass fishing since age 6 and seeing that bass blast the other one over envy I was amazed. That is why I never miss a video. Thank You Matt and Tim for all your hardwork. I know this video is older but I scroll through the videos you have posted to find the ones i haven't seen yet just because watching your content has made me able to target and catch big bass more then small bass nowadays. You guys really know bass fishing.
Great underwater footage!
I still think I have more luck dragging than hopping
Thanks!
As a follow Bass Fishman I really appreciate the work and the information you give
Awesome. This was Great.
I usually catch my fish underwater….
Bro, he definitely had his mouth open and tried to eat when the other fish got there first lol, he wasn't trying to hit the other fish or knock him out of the water, he was going for the lure for sure
That’s why you don’t catch and release if you get it you get it !!!
Are these vids in a huge tank, like at Bass Pro, or in a real lake???
Cool we actually get to see what the bass’ reactions are to the baits and techniques being talked about
Great underwater clips, thanks for sharing
you camera sharpness is too high 🙂
Great video and fun.
I like the way you explain things!!
Keep it going guys been following for years and love the non biased brands y’all speak the truth and much appreciated
If you cut about half of the Brussel of the weed gard off the won't spit your jigs as bad .cut from front to back
I find your information VERY VERY helpful and thank you.I am now following you.
Outstanding Video. Come check out Glenn McNeil Fishing for Manitoba Canada fishing adventures. I'm a small, new channel. Any support would be appreciated.
Crazy How loud these Baits are😲
Where did you go fishing?
I wish I could fish in a spot with bass like this… like they’re everywhere! My local lake might have 3 bass in it lol
I’m watching this video when it’s 114* out and now I wish it was fall 😞
Best underwater footage ever!
This is really neat!
Excellent Work Bud
I don't like to brag, but I know a thing or two about bass spitting my jig.
I was using a top water bait like 2 weeks ago and caught a massive 5 pounder
Great footage…I need to learn the jerk baits & crank baits a bit better…this shows just the presentation you need to trigger a shore nuff hawg…🖖🏿😎👍🏿
