Alton Jones Jr: Choosing the Right New LiveScope — LVS42HD vs LVS44
Which new LiveScope transducer should you buy—and could choosing the wrong one cost you bass? Alton Jones Jr. shares three days of on-water testing with the Garmin LVS42HD and LVS44, including where each transducer shines, what changes from the LVS34, and which model makes the most sense for most bass anglers. You’ll also learn how Alton uses Perspective Mode, screen size, gain and filtering, multiple-transducer setups, and the Garmin Spy Pole to see more fish and make more efficient casts. Then he breaks down the Free Rig system he uses when pressured bass ignore minnows, drop shots, jigs, and other common presentations. What you’ll learn: • Why the LVS44 is the better all-around choice for most bass anglers • Where the LVS42HD’s close-range detail and target separation matter most • How far each transducer can clearly show fish, bait, timber, and bottom cover • Why Perspective Mode helps identify fish and locate overlooked structure • Gain, ghost reject, noise reject, and screen-size adjustments that improve visibility • The best one-, two-, and three-transducer LiveScope configurations • How the Garmin Spy Pole improves boat and transducer control in wind and current • The Free Rig setup: 3/8-ounce weight, 17–20-pound line, total-slack fall, and alternate casting angles Guest: Alton Jones Jr. — Bass Pro Tour champion with more than $1.5 million in career earnings; one of the sport’s most accomplished forward-facing sonar anglers.

Matt Stefan: Most Bass Lures Work. These Are Better in 2026.
A bass lure can still catch fish and no longer be the best option for the job. Tournament pro and Core Tackle co-founder Matt Stefan breaks down which proven baits still deserve a place in your boat, which techniques are losing ground to better alternatives, and the new baits and rigs pros are trying to keep quiet. We cover the rise of urchin-style baits, why movement and fall often matter more than lure shape, and Matt’s current buy, hold, or sell rating on Ned rigs, shaky heads, drop shots, tubes, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, topwaters, and more. Matt also explains how he evaluates new techniques, why some old-school baits are making a comeback, and how Core Tackle designs specialized hooks and rigs to make existing presentations more efficient.

Brian Latimer: Fish a Ned Rig Better Than 90% of Anglers — Setup, Spots & Retrieves
Fish a Ned rig with less guesswork and more bottom contact. Brian Latimer breaks down the simple setup, retrieve, and location rules that help this subtle bait catch numbers—and why most anglers make it harder than it needs to be. This is a complete Ned rig clinic covering jigheads, plastics, weights, colors, line, leader length, hooksets, seasonal patterns, and the places where the technique works best. What you’ll learn: • Why simple, low-action plastics often outperform baits covered in appendages • When to use a 1/5-ounce head and when to lighten up to 1/10 ounce • Why Brian prefers a light-wire Finesse ShroomZ over heavier and EWG-style hooks • How 10-pound braid with a 15-pound fluorocarbon leader reduces break-offs • The bottom-contact and slack-line retrieve detail most anglers miss • Why “nothing banks,” bridges, current, steep points, and deep winter fish fit the Ned rig • How to tightline, fish vertically, and let current move the bait • Why a numbers bait can still produce tournament-quality bass Guest: Brian Latimer — Professional tournament angler, Lake Seminole FLW Tour winner, fishing educator, and founder of Straight Up Fishing.

Jeremy Lawyer: Beat Summer Crowds & Heat to Catch Big Bass
What is the best way to catch bass in the middle of summer when the lake is hot, crowded, and full of boat traffic? In this episode of Catch More Bass, Bass Pro Jeremy Lawyer breaks down the summer bass bite most anglers miss because they quit too early, fish the wrong window, or try to grind through the worst part of the day. Jeremy has spent years fishing Lake of the Ozarks and other crowded, dock-covered lakes, and he shares how he approaches summer fishing when the heat, jet skis, wake boats, and fishing pressure make the lake feel almost impossible. We talk night fishing for bass, why a different class of fish can bite after dark, how dock lights and moon phase change the bite, and which baits Jeremy trusts most at night, including spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs, big worms, chatterbaits, and squarebills. Then we get into early morning fishing, summer current, boat traffic, crowded lake strategy, and how to pick better docks instead of wasting time on dead ones. Jeremy also explains why bass often live behind docks, how wind and shade position fish, and why the first cast on a dock or brush pile can be the one that matters most. If you’re trying to catch more bass in summer heat, beat crowded lakes, fish better at night, or understand where bass go when boat traffic gets bad, this episode gives you a practical summer game plan from one of the best dock fishermen in the country.

Justin Lucas: 90% of Anglers Miss This Big Bass Window
Most anglers can catch a few bass. The harder part is adding the one big fish that changes the day. Justin Lucas breaks down how he uses a CullShad-style harness swimbait to create bonus big-bass opportunities without throwing a giant bait all day. This is the practical system: when the window opens, where to make the first cast, how to trigger followers, and when to put it back down before it burns you. What you’ll learn: • Why this bait is a “window bait,” not an all-day swimbait grind • The best timing: 50-degree prespawn water, February–May, fall, clouds, wind, shade, and pre-front conditions • Why Justin throws it first on prime points, docks, riprap, and high-percentage targets • His CullShad setup: 5- and 6-inch sizes, 20 lb fluorocarbon, 7’6” heavy rod, slower reel, quad hook, and 1/16 oz nail weight • The retrieve that triggers big followers: slow and steady with 3–4 quick reel pops per cast • How high to run the bait so bass feed up instead of spooking • When bumps and followers mean “put it down” instead of forcing it • How Justin decides when to grind, change baits, or leave an area completely Guest: Justin Lucas — Bassmaster Elite Series Angler of the Year; multi-tour winner; 50+ Top 10s; one of the most consistent pros in modern bass fishing.

Spencer Shuffield: What Actually Works for Bass Fishing in 2026 — With & Without Scope
Bass fishing has changed fast. Spencer Shuffield breaks down what still gets bit in 2026, why pressured bass follow more and commit less, and how to catch them whether you’re using LiveScope or putting it down and power fishing. This is not just a forward-facing sonar episode. Spencer explains how fish have learned baits like jerkbaits, A-rigs, drop shots, jighead minnows, and Koike-style baits — and how that has changed the way he fishes ChatterBaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, grass lines, brush, and shallow targets. What you’ll learn: • Why bass follow baits but won’t commit like they used to • How great baits burn out after fish see them enough • What jighead minnows, drop shots, jerkbaits, A-rigs, and Koike-style baits have in common • Why baits that stay above fish trigger more reaction bites • How Spencer uses Scope to find better targets, not just chase dots • When traditional power fishing can still beat the electronics game • How small bait changes can make pressured bass react again Guest: Spencer Shuffield — Major League Fishing pro; 2022 TITLE champion; 2025 WON Bass U.S. Open champion; multiple BPT Top 10s and one of the best modern Scope anglers in bass fishing.

Justin Atkins: Stop Picking the Wrong Lure, Rules for Every Bait
We’re all guilty of defaulting to our favorite bait, even when there’s probably a better option. Justin Atkins breaks down how one of the most versatile pros in bass fishing decides when each lure actually deserves to be tied on. This is a lure-by-lure decision tree for real fishing situations — shallow cover, grass, clear water, muddy water, current, offshore schools, forward-facing sonar, pressured fish, and more. What you’ll learn: • When a spinnerbait beats a ChatterBait, swim jig, or crankbait • Why Justin always wants plastic on a spinnerbait instead of relying on a trailer hook • When a bladed jig is the better landing-percentage bait • Why a swim jig shines around shallow grass, clear water, and quiet targets • When to pick a Fritzside, lipless, squarebill, or deep crankbait • How Justin chooses between a jig, Texas rig, wacky rig, Neko, and drop shot • Why a power worm is still his first choice around offshore schools • How he picks between a jerkbait, minnow, and nail-weighted Hit Worm with forward-facing sonar Guest: Justin Atkins — Bassmaster Elite Series pro; Forrest Wood Cup champion; Bassmaster Open winner; one of the most versatile bait decision-makers on tour.

Jason Lambert: Offshore Secrets Revealed — Baits, Angles & Schools
Many anglers can find offshore bass and only catch a few. Jason Lambert dominated deep-water tournaments because he knew how to catch the right fish — the bigger ones, the pressured ones, and the schools other pros couldn’t fully unlock. In this episode, retired offshore legend Jason Lambert gives up the ledge-fishing secrets he spent years keeping quiet: where summer schools set up, why he started with big baits, how pressure moves fish, and the cast angles that kept schools biting. What you’ll learn: • Why Lambert started every offshore school with the biggest, nastiest bait on deck • How big bass position in schools, satellite groups, and pressured ledge areas • Why a first cast with a big swimbait, scrounger, Jerky J, or crankbait can trigger the right fish • How current, shell bars, creek-channel intersections, hard bottom, and irregularities create summer ledge schools • The cast-angle mistake that can pull fish off the ledge and shut down the school • Why bottom contact mattered so much with the Jerky J/scrounger system • How Lambert used side imaging, mapping, and later LiveScope to find schools faster • When to leave a school, when to change angles, and when to keep hunting for the next group Guest: Jason Lambert — Retired pro; 8 MLF/FLW wins; one of the most feared offshore ledge fishermen of his generation; known as “The Ledgehammer.” Watch the full video podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLJHIrTVplvfzK7I8FEog0BXmrt83Yc3T Save 10% on MillerTech lithium batteries and all other products: https://tinyurl.com/MillerTech10off Follow Catch More Bass—new episodes every Monday at 2 PM CT.
