“Embrace the suck” would definitely do well on a T-shirt. It’s a saying used in the military quite frequently so you could even theme it towards vets fishing.
I’m glad you broke this down, I had someone fire down on me stating fish only bite in the early am and later evenings but not Bass; and that’s what I fish for thanks for this.
I embrace the "suck" with a big middle finger and I night fish this time of year. Heat and a$$hat rec boaters keep me off the water during the daytime. Launch at 11pm fish till 8 am. So many ways to catch them at night this time of year. Having a blast! Also I would have never discovered the awesomeness of night fishing without your vids, thanks guys.
Thanks Matt! Truly appreciate you and Tim!!! You guys are awesome and love to see the knowledge and passion you both have. Thank you for always pushing forward and being creative with new contant.. God bless you both and you're families.
These are some awesome videos! I can’t say how much these videos help me during the year! Especially winter here is Oklahoma. I have a question about big swimbaits, if you guys were fish a big swimbait during the summer . Would a soft plastic swimbait like a Huddleston work for bottom dragging instead of a 12 inch worm?
Had my first couple of bites on the 6 in mag slow but had some better ones on the savage gear pulse shad. We had a blast good Lord's willing might try to go tomorrow
Fishing from the bank i usually fish the edge of pads with minimax or smaller drop shot cause I don’t got the gear to punch and the fish in my lake are smaller and skiddish
Thanks for turning me on to the wooble head and the adreniline craw. I have got a lot of bass on Douglas Lake with it, and large smallmouth especially love it here.
Went out yesterday (7/25), it was 90-something, all I could think of was that phrase. Endured the day with a gallon of beverages but was rewarded with a 4lber during the hottest part of the afternoon. Caught it on a Neko-rigged 4.5" Missile Baits Spunk Shad.
Been 105 in ok but been catching lots of blue gill seem to be hunting same as usual in the shade around midwest, i been using rooster tail but id like to target bass more and onely have luck with them on top water any tips thankful for✌️
I know yall love wobble heads and I don’t know if yall seen it or not at icast but ryugi is releasing a tungsten wobble head weight, so you can put your own hardware and hooks on it and build your own. Pretty cool stuff!!
Surprised i didn’t hear the dropshot, for me that gets then when nothing else will. Yesterday i put a wacky rig senko on the dropshot and a white fluke. They were hitting both hard. Ledges/deep shade and laydowns in 15ft+ of water. I was out of roboworms and tried 2 baits I rarely use. Just picked up the tactical River2Sea crank, looking forward to trying it. (Lake Lanier)
Great info as always; it brought up a different issue I've had.... deep hook removal. ...there is one scene at 2:40 where you're reaching into the bass's mouth with almost your whole fist and disengaging the jig hook. Would you please consider doing a vid on getting deep hooks out? I always see guys stickin' their hands into the bass's throat but you never see how they're actually getting the hook free. Is there some special technique like stickin' your index finger in the bend of the hook and pushing down til the barb comes loose? That's what one guy told me he does. I tried it and thought I was killin' the bass. So if you could explain and possibly demo what the heck you're doing in that mouth to get a hook loose would be appreciated!! I've asked many guys and gotten very few answers. I do know how to try going from under the gills but that doesn't always work either. TV bass shows never show the guy working a hook out. Any consideration for a vid on this would be helpful.
Embrace the suck is actually a military moniker, and has been used for years to help motivate soldiers through some of the tough challenges they face on any given day. Shirts with this on it are already out there
Caught two nice ones this morning before the sun popped over the horizon. Back to the house by 6:00am. I am in Florida and if the heat don't get you, the lightening will.
Summer time heat…..next to a Jerk bait, my other piece of Kryptonite!! There are docks on the little 10 acre lake I fish, but I can only get to 1 dock at the edge of the lake damn. The rest of the docks are at the foot of a steep hill that houses sit on and boats are not allowed on the lake. The home owners are not to welcoming to outsiders fishing from their docks. I don’t stress too much about it because I can’t stand the humidity we get here in Louisville and I normally don’t fish the middle of the day. Heat is ok….the humidity absolutely sucks! I will keep your tips I mind though for when I can convince my brother to take his boat out.
Great upload! So today in mid missouri, we actually have a high of 78 with overcast. Obviously im going to fish all the shade, but do the fish roam more on days like this or are they just conditioned to find the shade as the daysl draws on?
One thing I have noticed over the years of informed fishing ( as opposed to favorite lure/ favorite spot/ hope I get lucky fishing) is bass get real predictable in the heat of the day. I could pick fish out of shady areas that people walk by without a second glance ( I’m a shore bound basser) and could even almost time when the bass would move from shade that was disappearing to new spots that were going to get shady.
Hey Matt, why there's less and less reaction innovation products in you guys videos right now? I remember the 3 beavers (Kinky, Sweet, Spicy) are your favourite jig trailers before hahahaha.
Good afternoon, Matt. My buddy and I are fishing a night tournament on Lake Murray in South Carolina from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. What and where would you suggest we throw? The water temperature is about 85.
Serious question, do you find that the “color line” changes depth depending on the time of day? I’d imagine that light would penetrate deeper when the sun was straight overhead rather than rising or setting and going through at an angle.
Hey Matt, I am going punching tomorrow, and I need your advice . I need a 2oz. Wt. to get through my mats here, I have some 2oz. D&M COSTOM BAITS Mat Rat Punch Jigs, have you ever used these and do have any opinions on them.
Today was my toughest day on the river. The only thing they would bite was a Zoom ultravibe speed craw. I got 1 bass and missed 2. Im gonna try these tips tomorrow!
@@jimmychang1433 I'll downsize to a ned rig or grub but still dont catch much bluegills. I see people catching on live bait but I only caught 1 green sunfish and it was on a wacky rig go figure! I've caught hundreds of bass but no gills!
@matthall8378 you should give 1/16 Oz panther inline spinnerz (all patterns the yellow one with red dots is my favorite👌) a try, the blue gill that about 8 inch in length hit them because they look like a bug I think especially around logs and rocks where they like to hunt and run around looking for easy food. I have been wanting to practice some Ned rig, and wacky rig fishing in the future for bass
What’s more of an “embrace the suck” me sitting at work half day with the boat loaded outside or going to fish the heat of the day soon as this half day is over?!?
What do you think of a loomis MB785 IMX? I’m looking to build a short frog rod and north fork has a 685 MB that’s a remastered 785. I can’t find much info on either blank
So im in canada tryning to get first 5 pound large mouth and water only gets to 77 max mostly 72-75 so does this still apply becuase i try shade and get nothing sometimes.
For ultralight finesse fishing, leaders are all about visibility since you don't finesse fish typically around heavy cover or in very dirty water. Hi-Viz braid is popular so the angler can see their line (but so can the fish in clear water), so a near invisible fluorocarbon leader is recommended.
I’m like the only fisherman out in my area, my wife thinks I’m crazy when I’m out and it’s 115 outside, I try to stay away from grass or weeds because it feels hotter because of lake breeze.
I always embrace the suck, every day not just fishing, every day, I do something that don't want to do, it's itched in my brain, I make it a habit to always embrace the suck, just do it and it becomes habit.
My average daily temp is 114° lol I bank fish & I only fish shady spots. They hang out together. I was throwing a Bass Pro XPS Mean Eye swimmer in bluegill 1/4 its a goby style swim bait . With some monster bass Procure®Baitwaxx and thump I knew it was at least a 4lb. I've caught many dinks and on a light casting setup you can feel the runs and head shakes nicely. Spit my lure once he broke the surface caught the dinks hanging around i switched to a weightless stick bait and cleaned them up of the stump. 🦾🙏
“Embrace the suck” would definitely do well on a T-shirt. It’s a saying used in the military quite frequently so you could even theme it towards vets fishing.
Would be even better on like a camo sunshirt
That shits gay
Man I miss hearing that. “F it” also helped get through everything.
I have a shirt that says embrace the suck. i think nine line has it or grunt style.

Every season in all weather conditions is the best bite for Matt and Tim.😬
😂😂😂 agreed
Good morning..... heading to the lake!!!...tight lines 😊
Good luck . I hope you catch a pb 🤙
Awesome! Good luck today!
Smallies were catching good in TN yesterday good luck!
@nicklauer8255 where do you go for smallies?
You guys have given me the push to keep throwing my magdraft and I finally got my first big bass this weekend on the mag! Thanks guys!
I’m glad you broke this down, I had someone fire down on me stating fish only bite in the early am and later evenings but not Bass; and that’s what I fish for thanks for this.
@@slapt3245 thank you
I've still got a 12 hour shift to pull before I start my weekend but I'm headed to the lake as soon as I clock out today lol
Congrats Adam! We hope you catch a giant!
@@tacticalbassin dude I caught my pb that day...on a plopper. That's happened twice,2 weeks in a row I hope I break my record again this week
Took my nephews out this weekend! Perfect video to watch right now while fishing in 100+ degree weather.
Timing couldn't have been better. Hitting the lake this afternoon after work and I'll be employing a few of these tactics. Thanks as always!
We hope you catch a big one!
I targeted offshore brush piles for the first time this past Friday. Shaky heads really did me well. Thanks for the great advice!

Thank you Matt, you sparked an excitement in me to start throwing the Jig and creature bait again after 6-8 years ❤👊
Bridges are a big deal in the heat of the day. I’ve heard you guys talk about this heat of the day before. It definitely works.
Your relief is just one jump away why more bass fisherman don't go swimming blows my mind.

I don’t think I have ever heard matt say a season that isn’t the “best time to be on the water” 😂. I like the mindset though 👊🏽
"if you're out there baking with a plan". Love it.
"Baking with a Plan" should be on a long-sleeve UV shirt
Thanks, Matt.
Good stuff matt, going to try the owner jungle wide forsure . Thank you for the work you guys put in.

Hey Matt I was curious how long do y’all typically tie y’all’s leaders on bait casters?
Serious question, do you find that the “color line” changes depth depending on the time of day? I’d imagine that light would penetrate deeper when the sun was straight overhead rather than rising or setting and going through at an angle.
I thought you guys moved to Texas ? Did I miss something somewhere. lol. Just curious cause never hear anything about Texas lakes.

I do not for a second think that the bass hit a frog based on it being painted like a blue Gill!😂they don't even see it!
Bass are colorblind to yellow, so they don't actually see chartreuse - it looks white to them
