MY NEW BASS FISHING HERO! Bass Boat Flex on Realistic Fishing
Ever have a bass boater roll up and fish right on top of you? Meet my “new bass fishing hero”—a guy in a boat who flexed hard while I was bank fishing. I’m minding my own business, casting from shore, and this guy’s lobbing casts ten feet from me like I’m invisible. Gotta hand it to him, though—he inspired me to dedicate today’s catches to him: three Bluegill and one Largemouth Bass, all for my “hero.” Gotta love bank fishing life sometimes.
Despite the boater’s close quarters, I stuck it out and pulled in those Bluegill and a decent Largemouth Bass—nothing fancy, just steady bank work. It’s a classic shore angler moment when a boat crowds you, but you keep fishing anyway. Sarcasm aside, it’s a reminder to find your spot and focus. Ever had a boater steal your space? How do you handle the “flex”?
Dedicated Catches:
- Bluegill: Three caught, no thanks to the boat.
- Largemouth Bass: One solid fish for the “hero.”

How To Fish a Texas Rig From the Bank (Beginner Bass Fishing Tips)
Want to learn how to fish a Texas Rig from the bank? I’m walking you through it, showing how I use a Texas-rigged worm to catch Bass. I started by checking out some soft plastic worms sent to the show, picking a four-inch one for the rig. Working high-percentage spots like docks and boat ramps, I landed my first Largemouth Bass of the day. Kept at it with the same technique and hooked an even bigger Largemouth Bass soon after. Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be Texas Rigging like a pro in no time.
The Texas Rig’s straightforward—rig the worm, hit key areas, and work it slow. Docks and ramps are gold for bank anglers, and that four-inch worm proved it with two Largemouth Bass. It’s beginner-friendly and doesn’t need expensive gear, just patience and the right spots. Spring’s perfect for practicing this from shore. What’s your favorite way to rig a worm for Bass?
Texas Rig Success:
- Four-Inch Soft Plastic Worm: Two Largemouth Bass, including a bigger one.
- Key Spots: Docks and boat ramps delivered.

Tips for Spring Bank Fishing in Middle Tennessee
- Go Ultralight for Variety: Gulp Alive Minnows on Finesse Jig Heads catch Bluegill and Crappie—great for spring shore action.
- Master the Texas Rig: Soft plastic worms on a Texas Rig hit Largemouth Bass in high-traffic spots like docks and ramps.
- Fish High-Percentage Areas: Focus on docks, ramps, or cover where Bass and panfish hang out in spring.
- Stay Resilient: Crowded spots happen—keep casting or move to a quieter bank to stay in the game.
- Respect Other Anglers: Don’t block docks if boats need access. Boaters, give bank anglers space—you can fish spots they can’t reach, so slide down a bit to keep everyone casting comfortably.
