Just yesterday I put on my jointed bluegill bait with very low confidence. (Watched this video night before) popping it off the bottom slow retrieve and it got slammed. When I went to grab this monster my swivel failed and bent out of the keeper. It swam off with the lure still stuck in its mouth. Upset and feeling pretty bad about it all. Hate if for the fish most of all. So that said. When you put one of these baits on. Make sure your equipment can handle a those big fish. I will definitely tie to the lure from this point. Thanks for the awesome videos. Every time I watch them I get pumped up and ready to go fishing. You guys have been my bass fishing teachers for as long as you’ve been on RUclips. The best hands down. Keep it up. Thanks.
@@aceboardtheangler5252 my man... 😂 every nail I hit I’ll be like damn that’s a bass, yep got em!!! Anything to keep my mind off of this privacy fence in the damn cold!! Bro I can’t wait for spring, I’m getting very impatient 😂!! Be easy big bro, enjoy your day man
New subscriber from Ontario Canada. Love the underwater footage. I’ve learned tons on bass behaviour and how to use my baits. You guys are so passionate about Bass fishing. Well done and thank you!
I had good luck at the end of summer going into fall on those cheap Storm bluegill lures you get in 3 packs. I just take the bottom treble off like you guy's showed me, I just hop them around like a swim jig or something and they were nailing it. I also love the dark sleeper, Ive only caught 4 on a dark sleeper but all were over 4 pounds.
These bluegill swimbaits do wonders, though I haven't used them too much yet. I crush smallies with shad swimbaits. May do a bluegill vs shad swimbait comparison video to see which one is the real champ!
Great video. I appreciate the amount of time and effort it took to get all those cameras in place to get the right footage. Took me a while just to get them set up in my swimming pool for demos. Great lure selection, I need to get some of those Matt lures. Thanks again Matt & Tim 👍🏻
Welcome to East Tennessee !!! This Video has got me PUMPED !!! I have followed you all from California to Lake Chic. From Knoxville I fish Norris, Douglas, and Cherokee Lakes. Hope to actually meet Y'all sometime soon. The Bassmasters Elite is coming to Knoxville in Feb.. SO EXCITED !!! Now to go find some Bluegill baits. Thank You for your videos.
I just want to take a second and really just thank you..... you completely changed my fishing career and lifestyle about fishing and hope you have a blessed day!
Thank you for these type of videos I really like the tricks tips and underwater footage and how these bass react to certain lures it really puts it in a perspective that just makes sense. Much appreciated I just subbed!
Haven’t watch a full fishing video on RUclips in a few months. It has kind of gotten stale.. thanks Matt and everyone else at TB for always providing amazing content that not every one else is putting out!
Just bought my first Bluegill swim bait. Can't wait to try it out! During the whole fishing season. It might just be the bait to get my new PB. Bass on this year. Another great video. Rip some lips. Shawn.
I love the little creeper sunfish. I caught a 7lb 5oz bass here in eastern KY on one. I already have 4 of them ready. They work in winter around weeds too. Work like a rattle trap. I like the new Savage Gear too. I have used them sight fishing and they get blasted
Spring right around the corner...The bite getting ready to jump off and now The Hook up Tackle and TB dropping blue gill baits on the same day!! #hyped
I've been wanting to try ice fishing for the 1st time for a long time now but Indiana isn't that great at freezing over that thick. Glad you got one your 1st time out!
Wow! You guys always have the best under water videos of how fish react! In live in Phoenix and I currently have my Blue Gill and Crappie imitation baits on ready for it to be time, because another couple of days like it has been recently, it will be time!
Another awesome video! I always learn so much, and these underwater videos help me so much to understand what I’m feeling when using these techniques, and also a little impromptu visual representation of how I should be workin my lures/baits! Thanks guys!
I'm going to be throwing gills and trouts all year long. Got an 8 on a handmade gill already for my first fish of the year. Great underwater as always guys!
Cleaned driveway 4 times yesterday and you can’t tell this morning. Thanks nor’easter! But watching this video helps. Can’t wait to try my Dark Sleepers I got a few months ago.
Cool piece of advice I read is catch a blue gill or perch and rub it all over the lure so the bass tastes the fish the lure is mimicking. We'd like to thank Louie the largemouth, big bass Bobby and the rest of the sunfish school for demonstrating feeding behaviors during the spawning season.
I have had a lot of success with the soft baits that look like Bluegill. Especially, in the Spring and Fall time of the year. You have given men an idea about fishing the shad worm in the winter. I have to try that. Nice video!!!
I carved a little jointed swimbait shad imitation with a holographic side stickers and black back and went to south holston lake to try it out today. I saw fish blowing up on surface and tossed it out there thinking it could possibly be smallies or wipers and immediately got hammered by a freakin brown trout! Never know what I'll run into up here. Gotta love the swimbait!
Great Video. It happens every damn year. I wait to long to order for spring and everything is sold out. Hopefully I get some $$ rounded up soon so that doesn't happen again this year.
Been using Mattlures baits for as long as I can remember. Lucky for me, I have a good stock of his bluegills in all varieties and they will get used. The Dark Sleeper has produced for me as well. Great video, come on Spring time..lol
I caught couple good bass on the small size blue gill at the very end of fall, now I've bought up a few different ones and sizes and I'm just waiting on spring and spawn.. should be a great time on Cherokee Lake.. y'all need to come try your luck on Cherokee..would be awesome to see a video on my home lake..

Bass love to mow down bluegill ANY time of year.

Have they moved permanently and when?
I didn't realize that BG baits are prime time spawn vs rest of season baits. That is good to know. Wicked underwater footage!! Loved the video!

Awesome presentation as always! I've never tried these but I will this year! Thanks for the information.
So awesome! Always amazed how they can spit those hooks, whether trying or not trying to catch them..
Dark sleeper has changed my fishing life!!!! Sometimes it’s the only lure I take. It can be fished so many ways
I'm going to have to grab some dark sleepers this season!
I Love the underwater footage. I'd like to see some drop shoting footage
Love the vids man
I love the dark sleeper definitely going to order more come spring time
Great job getting that footage cool 😎 times 10 !
Matt with the quickness on the net.
Love your vids they have helped me get better at bass fishing thanks
That ganterel needs some underwater love so we can see your techniques in action. You guys are the best.
I love the underwater videos.
iMac bluegill color is many my personal best came on it. Thanks to you guys.
Love watching bass eat baits!! Haha Great vid!!
Wait a minute.... what about the megabass vatalion??
I’m pumped about the Amazon video
Amazes me how fast bass can suck in a bait and spit it out before you can even set the hook. COME ON SPRING!!!
Love the video you guys are killing it in the fishing games
Another awesome video! I always learn so much, and these underwater videos help me so much to understand what I’m feeling when using these techniques, and also a little impromptu visual representation of how I should be workin my lures/baits! Thanks guys!
Amazing footage! Love to see cool things like this!
Great video and thanks for sharing
Grats on 400k subs guys!!! Clearlake local here. Cant wait for the prespawn!
I'm going to be throwing gills and trouts all year long. Got an 8 on a handmade gill already for my first fish of the year. Great underwater as always guys!

Hey Matt I know you can’t hit them all but I’ve had good luck with that Hudleson bluegill swim bait. Great action a pretty soft.
Every time I see Matt or Tim pop up, I know I’m going to buy some lures 👍😎

you're not alone brother
That footage is EPIC!!!
It's s super satisfying when the bass suck us up like a vacuum cleaner.
crankbaits are really good, I would like to see you fish with that :)
I like all of these baits
Megabass Dark Sleeper definitely an underrated bait! Great video as usual.
Been using Mattlures baits for as long as I can remember. Lucky for me, I have a good stock of his bluegills in all varieties and they will get used. The Dark Sleeper has produced for me as well. Great video, come on Spring time..lol
Good stuff Matt! 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
I didn’t get my Savage Gear Bluegills until late July last year. Can’t wait to get one wet this spring!
Just wondering if you have any feedback on the fishlab and matzuo lures! It would be awesome thanks you!!
Love the info commentary and video! I own a few of these already and they get slammed all the time. You covered some true quality strike worthy lures!
Are you going to be doing any guide trips on chic once you got more familiar with the lake
I caught couple good bass on the small size blue gill at the very end of fall, now I've bought up a few different ones and sizes and I'm just waiting on spring and spawn.. should be a great time on Cherokee Lake.. y'all need to come try your luck on Cherokee..would be awesome to see a video on my home lake..
Great video Matt , I gotta stock up
Good job sir!
u got me so exited fopr bed fishing and now i jsut cant wait lol thx for the tiips u r awsome
It is pre spawn here in Texas where i live. Matter of fact south Texas is already mid spawn
Love the Gantarel jr but nobody has em in Stock!!
No Gantarel video? Easily the most interesting Bait in the video!
Storm bluegill is a great budget lure ! I'll be throwing one this year for sure !
