TIM’S NEW PERSONAL BEST SMALLMOUTH BASS! IT’S A GIANT!!!

Tim is about to break his personal best! Let’s go!! The conditions are absolutely brutal today with cold temperatures and heavy wind. It doesn’t take long for Tim to realize he needs to use every advantage possible. He turns to finesse techniques, uses his Humminbird electronics to locate fish, and slowly dissects likely locations on the lake. What could have been a tough day, changed in an instant!

Tim’s message at the end of the video sums it up perfectly, "Keep Grinding It Out. You’re just one cast away." This is the time of year when you can catch the biggest bass of your life. It’s worth the effort, it’s worth battling the elements, you never know when your turn is going to come. Again, today was one of those days where you would normally blank and go home without a fish. It took every ounce of modern electronics and modern techniques to turn these brutal conditions into a truly special day. The fish were grumpy, but Tim was able to make it happen!

Below you’ll find links to all the gear Tim used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors and sizes for the baits, Tim’s rod and reel combos, as well as the specifics of the electronics he used to locate fish on isolated structure. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
