To me, besides Tacticalbassin, You are the most informative fisherman in the game; stay true and keep up the Great work...

TRF sent me here! 👍

Once again the teacher doing his thing educating us, great summer time information. I wish school was this this much fun many years ago. Alex thanks again for another good video.

Dude, you remember I said I'm a worm guy? I SLAYED with a CRANKBAIT today for the first time ever. It was awesome!

Love the your channel. It’s good to see a local TN doing fishing videos. I don’t have a boat so I’m doing a lot of dock and bank fish. Can make a video on tips on dock and bank fish in TN! God Speed

lol the bird wanted some KZfaq time I was just thinking about what to take to the reservoir as we are in summertime pattern Thanks for this

New to the channel over from Tylers! Already love your content and presentation! Im out here in north Texas and all my local lake are almost all grass and stumps so lots of shallow fishing around here. Thanks for the tips! Also, from a family of educators, ranging from librarian to superintendent, thank you for being an educator! An extremely under-appreciated job!

Your instructional videos are my favorite. The teacher in you shows. Thanks!

Very informative. I catch more fish on a wack rig than any other bait I fish but really starting to gain confidence in the ned rig. I’m really only a power fisherman in late winter/ early spring. Other than that I finesse most of the time.

2020 summer fishing has been very slow for me. Even the fish don't know what they're doing. lol. After the full moon in June it has be a grind.

Thanks for the helpful and in depth video. You broke that down very well and it helped a lot. Thanks, Alex!

Monster bass referenced you on the card in box. Glad to hear you're in TN as well. Thanks for the content, eager to learn.

We need more of this bother. Haven't seen too many new vids. Great job regardless.

Great information about these baits! Really enjoyed the detailed information about the large worm(bull worm). Thanks.

I'm officially addicted to the missile bomb on the nedrig

Great video! I am not to much of a finesse fisherman but this year that's what I had to resort to 80% of the time.. my spinning set up is on the cheaper side with 30 size flueger president and 7ft medium Shakespeare excursion graphite rod(which is actually pretty good) took a bit to get myself to keep it slow but I did it and it has made me a better angler,so I guess a little bit of good has come out of all this madness lol

Great info Alex, thanks brother your presentation is perfect.

Thats how I rig my Neko Rig. I use the Trokar Weedless Wacky hooks, a little less "hangy" on things.

I know people say bass fishing in summer is tougher but that has not been my experience. Idk if it’s my area in WNC or what but I haven’t experienced that issue. We do have lots of shade and tree cover around our waters so that might be working to my advantage in the summer.

Right with you on the wacky rig. Used to hate it, it's been killer this year. The color that has been nailing them for me everywhere is green pumpkin/blue, like moon juice in the SK baits or "bream" in Yum baits.

Ive been killing em with a swim jig for the past 2 months. Couldn't hardly get bit on a chatterbait so I picked up a swim jig and haven't picked up the chatterbait since lol.

I love these choices . I really love into wackyrigging this summer. I broke out the bull worms ,ol monsters ,and bottom hoppers the other day. I have focused out deeper dragging them around . Definitely going to give pitching it around shallow for sure . I also 100% agree with all the pressure this year finess has been the way and sometimes the only way to catch them this year for me .Hope all is well bro.

Days you don’t wanna go fishing? You must have nothing else going on to make that remark my friend and I am jealous

I cannot imagine the level of awesome it would be to have fished so much I had to take a break because I didn't want to go. My four go to are Wacky Rig Senko type stick bait in Green Pumpkin, Buzz bait, Texas Rig pretty much any plastic/creature bait, and a frog. Frog not because it catches the most fish but because it is so freaking fun. Tight Lines and God Bless.

Great picks on the baits and lots of good info thx Alex!

Awesome video! Im with you with the spinning reel combos. Im from northern Ohio and my spinning combo is a UglyStik GX2. Ive caught everything from perch to walleye to flatheads on that thing.

Great info Alex!! I luv the Lews Tp1 Black rods just got the 7'mh paired with a Team Lews Custom Black 7.5.1speed spool for texas rigging.

Awesome top 4 Alex!! Well I love the frog, down here on Lanier I would probably swap that out for a gun fish or walking bait. LOL However, you’re covering all parts of the water column, which is key in the summer. Keep them coming brother!

Great video thanks

Love love love your informative videos! I’m from the southern part of Tennessee and man I’ve been slow walking a booyah crash pad jr and they’ve been killing it. So slow I call it zombie walking the frog cuz it loterally is twitch wait twitch wait lol. Just scored some zoom ol monsters as well I’m gonna try this weekend. Good luck brother!

U a cool guy I like ur honesty

i fish my poping frog in the swamp where i live. i cannot catch a bass for the bowfin and needlenose/longnose gar eating it. and the gators of course

I hear ya on the spinning gear! Lol a spinning rod is a spinning rod. Unfortunately it seems finesse is the only fishing that’s working for me up here lately. :/

Awesome as always. Dragging the big worm in va.

helpful! thanks dawg ,favorite fishing channel👊🏽

Any suggestions on lakes I could try in Tennessee? I live in Hendersonville and fish Old Hickory lake but want to try somewhere new. I am glad I heard about your channel on Realistic Fishing channel. Great videos, thanks.

Nice beard trim man! I’ve got all of these baits on the deck for tomorrow, but I’m still not confident it will be productive. I’m sure I’ll get the skunk out with the wacky though. I’ll be targeting the deepest shade I can find with it.

Great vid man, love your channel. My new drinking game: do a shot every time you say “fish in the boat” or “slam em in the face.” Keep making great videos while I run to the bait shop and the liquor store.

I live in south fla and pretty much use same baits i also will have a spinner bait tied on

Where at in Tn do you fish? I fish Tim's Ford, Normandy, Nickajack, and few other spots great video!

That mach crush reel practically acts as clickbait for me 😂👊🏻

The views!!!

I've never said to myself that i dont want fish hahahahah

I’m jealous of that sweet hat!

That beard has caught more bass than kvd.

Keep up the good work bro

TRF sent me!!! Great info

what about top watter

I just subscribed. Im moving to Johnson City Tn before the end of the year and Im hoping I can get an Idea of how the fish there behave.

What lake you fish in Tennessee i fish cherokke and douglas

great video it was sweet

Good stuff!

Hey i can't help but notice that you have a lew's hank parker spinning rod. how did you get that all i ca find is the bait casting version?

Good video bro.

are those hank parker rods still being made?

Do you add weights in the worm?

Im still catching pre spawn fish. crazy

but Alex, how do i get bass in the boat, if i dont have a boat. RIP

When you fish a frog do you mess with the hooks as far as bending them out to get better hook up ratio?

What's your favorite rod and reel if u were gonna spend around 300?

Wait, what??? @tylersreelfishing said there were TWO!!!

Can’t wait to “Jack some face!!”

Darn, rage bug didn’t make it in the 4.

Chicken nuggets!

Man...you been spending too much time up north....CRAPPIE 🤣🤣🤣

if you bought a ci4 you'd tell the difference

WHAT ??? Who even says that ? “Some days you just don’t want to fish “ ...WHO SAYS THAT ???

10-4 on the shallow water, kayak'in forever! My biggest thing, due to limited space, is figuring out multi-use combo's. Oh well, if it was easy, we wouldn't be doing it. tight lines! 🎣😎👍😊😸🎣
