Matt Allen is a fishing maestro with a whopping 25+ years of angling tales to tell. He is just in his early thirties. Matt's been on an epic fishing journey that's had him crisscrossing the country for over a decade. His mission is to score some of the biggest fish out there. But, if you ask him, his heart belongs to bass, no doubt about it. This guy's got a track record that'll make your jaw drop: 55+ bass tipping the scales at over 10 pounds each, caught in 11 different water bodies, rain or shine. What sets Matt apart is his knack for adapting to any fishing scenario and hooking those elusive "big girls."
Here's the twist that makes Matt even cooler. He's all about sharing the angling love and teaching others the art of fishing. While most anglers keep their secret tactics locked up, Matt decided to be different and birthed Tactical Bassin'.
Let's turn our attention to Tim Little, a guy who's been casting lines since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. Growing up in the stunning foothills of Northern California, he had Mother Nature's playground at his doorstep. Over the years, Tim's fine-tuned his angling skills and even snagged a monster 15-pound largemouth bass along the way! Fast forward to today, and Tim's got his own family. He's stoked to share his fishing passion and wisdom with both his loved ones and you, our awesome readers.
But here's the twist. Tim is not spending every waking hour on the water like his buddy Matt. Nope, he is the guardian of the waters as a Warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. That means he's on a mission to protect the beautiful waters he loves and ensure everyone can enjoy the great outdoors. But on his days off, Tim's the angling ninja trying out various fishing tricks. And when things get tricky, he's all about finesse. Plus, he's Matt's secret weapon in tournaments; while Matt's going for the home run, Tim's all about the consistent limit. And if there's one fish that revs Tim's engines, it's the elusive spotted bass. Those critters are wily and hard to predict, but they're Tim's jam. He often heads back to his stomping grounds in the foothills, pulling out giants from the deep waters of lakes like Shasta and Oroville. Tim's the new kid on the Tactical Bassin block, and he can't wait to drop some knowledge bombs on the internet's premier fishing blog.
