Welcome to the everglades! The bass are big and aggressive in this beautiful backwater jungle! The environment is unlike any other fishery in the country but the bass and alligators both love to eat topwater and swimbaits. If you’ve ever wondered what its like to fish this amazing fishery, come along for an exciting ride through the backwaters of Southern Florida!
Tim met up with good friends Coop and Cobi for this adventure. The 3 anglers ventured deep into the swamp in search of big bass and they found what they were looking for! The most amazing part of the experience is that bass in this unique environment ate all the same baits as largemouth at home. The fish were happy to rise up on frogs, poppers, and vixens, and were just as likely to eat a glide bait. It proved yet again that a bass’ basic instincts are the same regardless of the environment it grew up in.
Below you’ll find a list of the baits and gear the guys were using as they explored the glades. We’ve also included links to Cobi and Coop’s instagram accounts, as well as a link to our “Edits” playlist for other videos with this style of editing. We hope you enjoyed this everglades adventure!

Sick editing Tim, Wow! Wow! Wow! Unreal!!!!!!!!
Great video But it was too short
How do I book a guide trip guys lol I just wanna soak up the game
Nice for sure.
Great video.
Killer video!!
Wow..what a cinematic uptake in a video! Awesome footage Tim! Those slow motion gator tracks are freakin cool. Thank god we had Matt in the background to do all that editing..LOL
Wuau spectacular video.
Amazing video and slow-mo, I thought that gator was gonna destroy that topwater!!
GREAT photography! 👍 Yeah, that fish was definitely rubbing it in, but still a good day. 😃😎
Can never go wrong watching TacticalBassin.. awesome video, the gator knew that plopper was fake when you stopped it lmao
Cool vid Tim, the good music fit well on this vid I enjoyed it for something a little diff. Looks like you caught some nice ones.
Tim, that is some sick editing bro. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you guys for all you do
Awesome shot of that fish spitting the bait and swimming off.
Awesome video on your way back to Cali stop off in south Mississippi and do a video for us!
Great video… love the added music to the fishing… good $h!t
Yeeeeah I'm not really into these type of videos. Although I still hit the like button just to show my appreciation.
😁👍👍That was awesome!!
One of the best edited vidoes, and fantastic music to it.
Very cool….
Awesome Tim!!!!!! Great video 🎣🎣🎣
Outstanding video! Just curious – what test were using for the gator?
Welcome
Those gators add a level of excitement to landing and releasing those bass
You went to Florida and didn't stop and pick me up?!?! WTH Dude! 😀
Epic!!🔥🔥
That was sock
That's some next level editing right there Tim. Well done brother!
Must be wild to get follow from alligators!
Looks like an incredible place!
Prefer the tutorials but, this is cool to- I think I enjoyed that slide guitar piece almost as much as watching you guys catch some awesome fish. That is the absolute perfect place to fish with a kayak imo- as long as you're not afraid of the gators- which I'm not really. Not that I would want to hug one of them or anything but, I don't worry about them bothering me as long as I don't bother them. That said, I would definitely want a good pistol with me, just in case one of them decides my kayak is actually a sexy lady gator he would like to "get to know" – lol I wonder if you would get in trouble for shooting one if he was trying to get to close, I bet you would cause how could you prove that? If they let ppl off with that poachers would just go shoot one and say it was trying to attack them. Either way, one day I'm gonna fish that place- it's only about an 8 hr. drive for me.
