What to catch a giant bass too?

The Single Biggest Key to Catching a Lunker Bass

The best time to catch a giant often doesn’t line up with your weekend. It lines up with Mother Natures specific weather windows that make big bass drop their guard.

That’s why we built Bass Forecast EPIC Day™ Mobile Alerts.
They flag your best big-bass windows up to 10 days in advance—straight to your phone.

🎯 If you can rearrange a day here or there you can dramatically improve your odds of catching the fish of a lifetime.

Even Butch Brown, the GOAT of big bass fishing, says nearly all his giants (including a 19.3 lb PB) came during specific windows. He’s landed 1,500+ bass over 10 lbs—and it’s not luck. It’s timing.

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.

Here’s the truth: Big bass don’t feed like the rest.

So how do you know when those windows are coming?

We engineered a powerful, dead-simple solution: Bass Forecast 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.
