Two Bites, Two Fish, 55 lbs!!!

CRAZIEST FIGHT EVER! Two Stripers weighing a combined 55 lbs both smashed glide baits at the same time! The amount of power these fish had was incredible! Come along for the ride!

Even guys that don't like fishing for Striped Bass know how hard they can pull. There is no denying the torque these fish can put on your equipment! Add in some current and you better hold on tight! These two monsters bit back to back on glide baits and went ballistic!

 Here is the equipment the guy's used to tame the fish...

Explorer Glide Bait by Baitsanity - Swimbait Review

If you're a swimbait fisherman this video is for you! Its not very often we pick up a bait and start catching big bass right away. The Explorer Glide is one of those baits we "connected" with and we felt compelled to do this review and share our experiences with you.

 Matt caught a 31 lb Striped Bass on his 3rd cast with this swimbait and that was only the beginning! Its a true swimbait at 9.5" in length and 5 ounces in total weight. It is offered in two colors (Trout and Carp) and we've been told there will be a variety of tail options available in the future.

You'll need a dedicated rod designed for this style of fishing to throw the bait effectively but if you're into throwing big baits, this is a bait you need to check out!

Fall Striper Fishing!

The boys hit the CA Delta in search of Striped Bass and they found them! If you think this video is exciting just wait for what comes next... MONSTER STRIPER!

The were having a blast catching striper but took the time to stop and teach how to catch consistent numbers of striped bass on Swim Jigs, Topwater, and Spoons. 

Part of what makes Striper so fun to fish for is their aggression. Anyone can catch these fish! The baits we're throwing make it extremely simple to trigger reaction strikes. There is no need for finesse, no need for natural presentations, you can fish hard with heavy tackle and have a blast!
