Number 1: Zack Birge: The 5 Best Fall Baits From Bass Fishing’s #1 Angler
What are the five best baits to have tied on for fall bass fishing? Zack Birge gives the exact five he’d trust if dropped on an unfamiliar lake anywhere in the country—and explains how he changes locations, retrieves, and presentations as fall progresses. Birge is coming off a monster 2026 season with three tournament wins and a Bass Pro Tour Angler of the Year title. More importantly, he keeps his fishing remarkably simple and lets the fish tell him what they want instead of cycling through 15 or 20 rods. What you’ll learn: • The five fall baits Zack would rig for an unknown lake • Why the first strong cold front matters more than the calendar • Where to fish before bass push deeper into creeks • How he approaches clear highland reservoirs versus shallow, dirtier lakes • When to throw a buzzbait, walking bait, squarebill, bladed jig, or finesse jig • Why fall bass may crush one bait today and ignore it tomorrow • How bite location inside a creek tells you which areas to run next • When jighead minnows and Alabama rigs become bigger players as water cools Guest: Zack Birge — 2026 Bass Pro Tour Angler of the Year; three-time tournament winner in 2026; elite shallow-water and power-fishing specialist.

Number 2: Jeremy Lawyer: One Bait Keeps Getting Better Bites in Fall
Fall is the season when almost anything can work, which is exactly what makes it so hard. Jeremy Lawyer breaks down the bait he keeps coming back to when bass scatter, conditions change, and he needs the kind of bite that can change his day. Lawyer has built a major part of his tournament résumé in the fall, including six All-American appearances, a 2016 All American win, and major fall success at Lake of the Ozarks. What you’ll learn: • Why reaction baits help locate scattered “wolf packs” before slow fishing ever finds them • How Lawyer uses buzzbaits, Ploppers, walking baits, and other topwaters as the water cools • Why topwater can keep producing in bright sun and even into 58–60° water in November and December • His counterintuitive cold-front rule: go shallower until water gets down around 50–53° • How he adjusts buzzbait color, blade, speed, and sound between sunny and cloudy conditions • Why he’ll sacrifice numbers for better bites—and when stubbornness with one bait can pay off Guest: Jeremy Lawyer, FLW Tour and 2016 All-American champion; six-time All-American qualifier; more than $1 million in career earnings with extensive fall tournament success.

Number 3: Cody Stahl: Why Bass Bite But Don’t Make It to the Boat
Why do some bass bite, get hooked, and still never make it to the boat? Cody Stahl breaks down the overlooked tackle decisions that affect everything from getting a bait through the strike zone to keeping a big fish pinned. Fresh off a record 22-pound Bassmaster Open winning margin without forward-facing sonar, Cody brings an unusual perspective: he’s a tournament pro, fishing-rod designer, and former soft-plastic mold designer. He explains the details most anglers never think about—and why the “best” rod, hook, or material depends entirely on how you’re fishing. What you’ll learn: • Why Cody used a 3/4-ounce lipless crankbait on a 7'5" extra-heavy, extra-fast rod in Florida grass • Why 20-pound fluorocarbon gave him advantages over braid with treble hooks • The difference between rod power, action, modulus, and spring-back speed • Why higher-modulus graphite can be better for jerkbaits but worse for some crankbaits • How he chooses rods for ChatterBaits, frogs, jighead minnows, wacky rigs, and bottom-contact baits • When to use an EWG versus straight-shank hook—and when to change your hookset around cover • Why round-bend and EWG treble hooks can serve completely different purposes • What a lure designer notices about swimbait tails, plastic hardness, seams, and action Guest: Cody Stahl — Bassmaster Open winner; record 22-pound winning margin; tournament pro; fishing-rod designer and former soft-plastic mold designer.

Number 4: Peter Thliveros: Carolina Rig Masterclass and The Petey Rig
The Carolina rig gets bit when nothing else will, but most anglers aren’t getting everything they can out of it. Peter Thliveros built a career with the technique and breaks down the details that separate simply dragging a C-rig from actually understanding what the rig is telling you. Peter also explains the Petey Rig, the finesse version he developed that breaks many of the rules of a traditional Carolina rig—and when he’d rather throw it. What you’ll learn: • Why Peter believes most anglers fish a Carolina rig too light and too fast • How much weight he uses and why heavier sinkers improve bottom contact • How he reads rock, shell, gravel, grass, and transitions through the rig • How Peter drags, pauses, snaps, and changes retrieve speed based on the fish • Leader length, line, hooks, and bait selection for a traditional Carolina rig • Why switching to a Fluke became one of the biggest changes in his C-rig fishing • How the Petey Rig differs from the standard Carolina rig and when it shines • How Peter uses both rigs to find productive water and generate bites when fishing gets tough Guest: Peter Thliveros, 8 time national tour winner, retired professional angler, longtime Carolina-rig specialist, and creator of the Petey Rig.

Number 5: Matt Pangrac: The Fall Spot Everyone Runs Past (It’s Loaded)
Fall bass fishing gets tough fast when everyone piles into the same obvious water. Matt Pangrac breaks down the repeatable system he uses to find overlooked bass, get bites on unfamiliar lakes, and avoid wasting the day chasing the crowd. After spending roughly a decade with fall as his primary fishing season, Matt developed a simple way to shrink big reservoirs into high-percentage water—and some of his best starting spots are places most anglers drive right past. What you’ll learn: • Why Matt starts near the lower end of the lake instead of automatically running to the backs of creeks • How fish-attractor buoys and your mapping can reveal productive fall water fast • Why vertical and horizontal structure coming together creates high-percentage bass spots • Matt’s heavy 3/8- to 1/2-ounce drop-shot setup and why he fishes it fast • How to rig and fish the backwards “chicken rig” around docks and suspended bass • How he uses heavy jighead minnows to trigger pelagic bass with forward-facing sonar • Why bridges, marinas, riprap, and ramps form his BMR² system for getting bit on almost any reservoir • How fishing pressure changes where fall bass set up—and why the obvious water can get burned quickly Guest: Matt Pangrac — Bass Talk Live host, national-level tournament angler, Bassmaster Opens competitor, and longtime fall-fishing specialist.
