Grass is the best bass cover anywhere it grows—but most anglers waste time in the wrong stretches with the wrong baits. Bassmaster Elite pro Chris Johnston breaks down which grass to trust, how to find “live” vegetation fast, and the 1–3 baits that catch fish all season long.
What you’ll learn: • Hydrilla vs. milfoil vs. eelgrass—simple rules for each •Top lures and spots for each season • How to locate 10-yard “sweet spots” (bottom transitions, canopies, color change, wind/current lanes) • Boat position, casting angles, and retrieves that trigger reaction bites • Common mistakes: fishing dead grass, drifting over the juice, working baits too high
Guest: Chris Johnston — Bassmaster Elite Series pro, 2024 & 2025 AOY contender, grass-fishing specialist.
