Deanna Geberin

April’s Most Inspiring Catch – Meet Deanna Geberin

It wasn’t the biggest fish of the month—but it was unforgettable. Deanna caught a 6-lb bass from the bank, at night, on a lake where surveys said 5.5 lbs was the max. She only started bass fishing a few years ago and now consistently out-fishes her male fishing partners.

What’s her secret?

“I’ve been using Bass Forecast Pro to know where to fish and what to throw. It’s helped me improve fast—and out fish guys who’ve been doing this forever.” – Deanna, IN

👏 Congrats to Deanna—and to all 43 new Lunker Club members!

Aidan Kahlig, Texas 8.05lbs

"The fish surged and pulled, stripping line. I held on, reeling when I could, my arms straining. Finally, a huge, dark shape surfaced. A massive bass"

“Livescope bed fishing in 16 foot of water. Dropped 6 Sense Whale onto the bed and shook it and watch her nose down on it and the fight was on!!”

The Single Biggest Key to Catching a Lunker Bass

For the past five years, we've been obsessed with one goal: helping bass anglers dramatically improve their odds of catching giant bass—without needing a lifetime of trial and error on the water.

To do it, we’ve partnered with the nation’s top bass biologists, big-bass specialists, researchers, and authors to study what makes double-digit bass tick.

Here’s the truth: Big bass don’t feed like the rest.
They feed infrequently and cautiously—mostly when Mother Nature lines up the perfect predation conditions. That’s what keeps them alive long enough to grow massive.

Bass fishing biologist research has proven that big bass are different. They are PROACTIVE feeders that feed best when conditions are optimal. In a 2025 podcast, the undisputed GOAT of big bass fishing, Butch Brown, said nearly all of his giants were caught during specific weather windows. This is a man who has caught over 1,500 bass weighing 10+ pounds, including dozens of “teeners.” His personal best? A jaw-dropping 19.3 pounds.

So how do you know when those windows are coming?

We engineered a powerful, dead-simple solution: BassForecast EPIC Day™ Mobile Alerts.
This feature automatically flags the highest-probability big-bass feeding windows—up to 10 days in advance—and sends you alerts straight to your phone, 24/7, 365 days a year.

By knowing in advance, you’ll have a real shot at shifting your schedule and getting on the water when the odds are stacked in your favor. Stack more EPIC Days into your season… and one day soon, your new PB will find you.
