Get ready for a 31+ lb limit of bass with a spinning rod! Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt is searching for prespawn bass that are moving into the shallows but what he finds is staging fish that are ready to eat! This is an action packed day full of big fish on light tackle!
Typically when we catch 30+ lbs we do it with a swimbait. Today all but 2 of the fish were caught on spinning rods with a mini underspin and a mid strolling bait. These fish were fired up and ready to feed but it took 3 hours for Matt to figure it out. Reading the conditions and being willing to adapt are critical elements of success on the water!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors and sizes for the baits, along with the exact rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#underspin #fishing #bassfishing
Good Lord… what a day on the water
Underspin gets me bites on days a spinnerbait doesn’t and it’s probably my favorite lure, one of them.
Absolutely killin it…….
All quality fish. Great video.
What in the hell is going on here? These are all giants to me 👀
casually catching 6 pounders while im hoping to get atleast a 3-4 pounder so i can say i caught a monster for the day
Casually breaking my PB on every cast
If you don’t mind me asking what lake are you fishing? I am guessing clear lake.
What state is that? Wondering when michigans bites going to start?🤔
Can anyone remind me where matt fishes? I don't mean the exact body of water but just the state/general area. Thanks
Luar biasa umpan nya nih banyak sambaran ikan gede gede
🔥🔥 WOW Matt I don’t think I’ve ever seen you put that many big Bass in the boat in one video,amazing 🏆❤️👏👏
What a day 👍
Man, you’d be right in the leaderboard at Lake Fork 🇺🇸👍
Hello Matt, Mike Harris here. I ran into you at Grasshopper late today (Monday, March 4). I had the old yellow Ranger that had the motor painted yellow. Just wanted you to know i got on, off the water and home safely. The old girl still runs just fine and the trailer got me there and back safely from Varnell, GA. I know my FIL was smiling down from above. That old man was the best smallmouth angler I had ever been around. Thanks for talking a minute to speak. I know everyone wants some of your time everywhere you go. Enjoy your videos very much.
Dang son
You fishing a private lake ? Them are some donkeys ! Now I'm dying to go sling some line ! Lol
Swimbait underspin majic
The underspin is a great lure any time the water is below 50 degrees. I live in PA and I catch fish on an underspin until the lakes freeze and again starting the day the ice gets off the lake. The big difference here is Bass are moving shallow before the ice goes off. This is due to the yellow perch start to move shallow to spawn while the ice is melting. 53 and rising in the early spring is buzz bait time! What you are doing is more like what works in 40 degree water in late fall. I assume the difference is do to the forage base.
Casually crushes well over 30 pounds
Dirty thirty 😂 Amazing!!
It's unreal the fish you catch. Keep posting the amazing videos you have helped me catch more fish than anything else
When you fish an underspin using braid to fluorocarbon leader, typically how long of a leader do you use? It appears you are fishing fairly decent depths. Thanks and ALWAYS enjoy the vids!
Matt having a low key 30# 🎒 😂😂😂
If that’s a public lake I’m really really living in the wrong state lol. Impressive bag!
“That is a nice one 🙂” literally double my PB. I dont understand how yall are so chill catching monsters
Where In the dream is this place !!
I would be needing a pinch , cause that's a dream day of fishing for me. !!!
Dirty 30
Great video, my local underspin retailer will be pleased also .
I've got the 7'1" MFS Steez spinning rod and I throw small swimbaits on it. However, it's a little stiffer than I expected it to me for a "medium" action rod. Too stiff for dropshot fishing imo
Never been an A-rig guy but I just landed my first one on the Tactical Micro rig. 3 pounda just smashed that thing 👊🏼
Would fishing the a-rig pretty high in the water column work at this time of year? I want to fish a micro rig at a pond but don't want to lose it. I'm in Dallas
Love how you share how you adjust and walk us through your thinking process! So helpfull!
One day I hope to be out there mid mornin on a boat just slammin em 🎣 awesome catches
Matt, quick question. In that circumstance, why wouldn’t you use BFS? Just more power with the spinning rod? Thanks for the video!
These are the days we all dream of, what a fun day!
A perfect display of a bassmaster.
How would you handle the same condition but with water visibility of less than a foot?
What's your honest opinion on FFS?
