You aren’t pushing specific products, you ain’t telling us what to do, you aren’t saying we are doing anything wrong. You just compiled a whole bunch of crystal clear information that we can use when we come across some grass. Thank you
I have stopped listening to so many RUclipsrs after they take on a few big sponsors and then never mention another bait made by any competitor. I don’t fault them…they are trying to feed their families… but that doesn’t mean I have to keep them in my rotation. You sir are a keeper!
One tip I'll throw in ... When your senko gets ripped almost in half... Keep the stub. Texas rig it. Even if the 4/0 hook is as big as the stump. It casts well, it punches pretty well weightless... And it WORKS. Also makes economic sense to reuse the rejects.
I typically save them for winter Ned rigs but good as i am I never thought of that tip, it makes sense if they will hit a gravity bait that looks absolutely trash surely they'll hit half a stick bait.
So I started out self teaching as a homeless licenseless gorrilla angler just trying to feed myself. I didn't buy bait, I used discarded shore line baits... I thought I invented T-hook rigging... I'm not homeless anymore, haven't been in many years. I have a license with stamps/permits (some states require them for certain things) and permission to fish where I fish (or I fish high pressure public waters) and I just buy my tackle now... but because of where I came from... I have so many tips and tricks like _that_ and knowing I can tenkara-style-non-fly fish with literal sticks (like off from a tree) for example, that I never even questioned using half baits long enough to realize that others may not consider it.
Stunning video! Here in South Africa we have a lot of grass and reeds in the dams of my home province. Tyler, you nailed it with your advice in this video. It will work anywhere in the world. Great channel!!
Love it man. Im a boat fisherman but i have no electronics. I gotta say, aside from Roland Martin, ive learned a lot from you. Mainly the small things. Things i probably wouldnt have ever thought of. Been fishing for almost 30 years. Appreciate it
@no_regerts5176 I use mainly life experience and things my grandpa taught me. People just don't want to take the time to actually "hunt" anymore. I've never used an electronic and I have plenty of 5+ pound bass under my belt. And catch 1 or 2 at least every time I go fishing. Even in new spots. Takes me a few hours to find them, but you can. And it's much more rewarding.
I fished when i was a kid, and at 21 I picked it back up and fell in love again. Im 25 now, and it bears reiteration: SLOW IT DOWN. 4 years in and I have finally learned that you sometimes SHOULD leave a bait on the lakebed for 5 or even 10 seconds. You can let it fall all the way down. You can take a long pause between movements. You can wait for a few seconds until you actually feel the weight of the fish. You can take your time and watch your line go taut. This WILL catch you more fish with the correct bait. This video is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks as always BFHQ.
Ty, I bought a shirt, hat, and gloves. Love the quality, and the hat hasn't faded like some others from another country. Appreciate the USA made. Will definitely be back for more.

I believe this applies to most species except sunfish. Carp are particularly sensitive to lures and line Once you scare one away, That carp is gone and not hungry, based on my experience. Pike would be an interesting case study as they tend to be solitary like to bully other fish. I have no clue about crappie and walleye; they always seem to elude me. Trout, like carp, are skittish and easily scared, and I wonder if they vacate the area for the day. The dynamics are slightly different in rivers. It seems that fly fishing could be the most effective way to prevent 31% of the fish from leaving the area each cast.
Tyler, thank you for not making your viewers sit through a regurgitation of commonly known information only to disappoint the audience because there is no payoff for their investment of time and attention. Instead, in your videos you spend the entire time focusing on in-depth, hard core content making your videos worth the investment of time and attention of the viewers!!!!!
Wow a lot of great tips Tyler. Thanks. I would never thought of putting 50 lb braid on a bass rig. Also I get frustrated getting hung on Lilly pads. Getting ready for some Spring fishing
The person he is talking about is Jeremiah Kindy and the Lake is Ouachita. The lake had a big hydrillia kill off and the lake has been on a 3 year come back so it was easy to find the fish in the limited parts of the lake that it is making a come back. Kindy in the past was a jig in the timber fisherman but the grass has bass stacking up down lake towards damn and up towards boy scout camp etc.
Wow! I’ve fished lily pads for years with very little success. I never approached them with the tips in this video. Can’t wait to try them out. Thanks Gary
this was very helpful - looking at getting into tournement fishing and tryinig to become a better angler than i am already. bank fisherman now a kayak fisherman. time to learn a new style of fishing
you didnt mention one of the best lures for pads and weeds, the good ol johnson silver minnow! it will snake through pads and really get some good ones!
Good info on different vegetables That’s not a bad spot there at E Harbor and that’s like the number one bait for that area And @ that particular fishing spot very close to where he’s fishing I pulled a 5 and two 3.5 pounders from a spot of maybe 4x4 To win a Saturday event with 16.5lbs
I live in europe and we dont have any type of bass where i live. so i am wondering can i apply these strategies to other predatory species like pike and european perch?
Ty, have you ever tried switching the line on your set ups? Heavy action rod with fluro, med heavy with braid? Heavy with no stretch braid,fluro with stretch on m/h action that has more give . Sounds countertuitive. Just wondering
I do think I move too fast sometimes when I’m punching, I most of the yo-yo it three maybe four times and then keep moving, unless it’s winter then I will yo-yo it three times off the bottom and three times at the top of the mat, and normally depends on if it’s warm or cold, warm there normally sitting right under the mat, cold there more towards the bottom
I can't believe fishmen need all this hardware now a days to catch a fish, blind fishing will always the best way to showcase one's skill level without the need to see what is under the water hinding because you lack basic skills and need that much handicapp to look good, and as Sportmans we are to give the fish repect and a fighting chance in this game of cat and mouse.
there is a swamp near my house, a park. shallow water and full of weeds, i saw some big things moving creating waves, i start fishing it and people looked at me wondering what am i doing there. i catch big bass and big pikes with a fake frog. its full of fish😆 nobody fish there. everybody fish the river the other side of the road. they where on the wrong side.
I agree with you, but I don’t let it bother me. I finish my style, no matter what type of sonar is on the front of my boat! I have TI twos on my boat and the biggest thing they do is telling me how shallow I am so I don’t hit nothing! This forward facing is going to be just another flashing a pan and advancement until the next one comes along! Your strengths, forget the rest!
Give it a couple years for every goober to have ffs. You'll be alone beating bank and the fish will move back there to get away from all the lures in open water.
Doesn't matter if you have sonar or not it's all skill I have smoked guys with every electronic know to man just because I know the body of water and what works.
@BassFishingHQ I feel like comments from the app get lost sometimes. Think about this, the umbrella rig is banned, trolling is banned, rods over 8 ft are banned. The reasoning behind these bans was to preserve the integrity of the sport. The claim against those things was that they eliminate some of the required skill that should be present when competing at the highest level. FFS without a doubt eliminates some of the skill that should be present. But it will never be banned, way too much money involved.
not bagging on you , but have you ever noticed when you set the hook you grunt like the fish weighs 100 lbs? Check yourself out. A fish under 10lbs doesn't take much effort, but you grunt like you have a frigen whale on.
Should be banned from all fishing in general. Its gross and is going to destroy fishing numbers. Dont even understand the enjoyment people get out of it.
Tyler- are apart of a bass club in ohio? i would love to fish with you and pick your brain on things. I am originally from NY but live in NW-OHIO- last year was the first year of fishing i have caught a bass, 42 for the year. I would love more insight on places i can go, lures to get, and just more information. This may be unorthodox but i would love to pick your brain. Can we make this happen?
I’ll never understand why these guys yank the crap outa the pole to set a hook. When they pick up fish by the mouth all the time… their mouths aren’t made of rock it’s to easy to pierce 😂
If you bass fish much it's not the fish it's the gear you use say a bass jig it has a weed gard and if you dont set the hook that hard it will not hook the fish through the weed gard in some cases
A lot of these tips just aren’t true…sure if you’re impatient and unable to adapt/fish another lure then maybe. If you’re only gonna fish a chatterbait then yes you need to find chatterbait eating fish…but if you have a creature bait on a rod, a jig on another, a crank on another you could pick apart that vegetation and catch 4-5 fish you would have otherwise skipped because they wouldn’t eat your chatterbait at 2-1/2 ft.
How do you see Chris Zaldain's recent video interviewing pro anglers and even some of them acknowledge that using FFS is not fishing and they don't like it, but they're forced to do so because of the sponsorship@@BassFishingHQ

Every time you catch a fish you sound like someone has punched you in the mouth. Am I the only one that noticed this ? Maybe you should work on not putting so much effort into your hook set . There’s no reason to pop the fish out of the water on the hook set .

This is a very good tutorial on grass fishing. Probably the best I have seen on RUclips.
Tyler's channel is definitely a cut above the rest,you can tell that he really cares about the sport and wants to teach

I agree, pumping the rod more times could get you more bites. "Waiting alittle longer before pulling out" wow that sounds bad lol
