I’ve been catching giants with crankbaits and using a technique called long lining or strolling. Here’s a break down of how I’m using these tools to target bass schooled up in deep water haunts. All the gear and fishing tackle used in the video can be found below.

Within 3 days my little brother managed to catch his personal best bass and then break it with this 8lbs 15oz largemouth! What’s more is we caught back to back fish over 8lbs in 2 casts. This is one of those days when you know you have it dialed in. These bass were staging on a flat near a ledge and feeding up to spawn. There was a small group of fish but these were the biggest we caught. I was throwing a Sinking Bull Shad and my brother caught his trophy on a Gambler Lures JTK Hair Jig. Links to all products and equipment below.

Did the grind on a late summer bite with not much to show on the numbers side but we did manage 2 duck and roll fat girls pushing 8 and change. Caught mine on a D&M Sniper Spinnerbait and Donny’s came on a Medlock Jig. Low light in the morning and an afternoon storm really gave way to a window for a couple big bites.
