3 Lures That DOMINATE Grass Lakes (ft. Chris Johnston)

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 it down: which grass to trust, how to find “live” vegetation fast, and the one to three baits that catch fish in every season. What you’ll learn: • Hydrilla vs. milfoil vs. eelgrass—simple rules for each • Pre-spawn movers: vibrating jig/chatterbait, lipless crank, jerkbait • Summer staples: flipping a compact jig, speed worm, frog; when to punch mats • How to locate the 10-yard “sweet spot” on giant grass flats (bottom transitions, canopies, color change, wind/current lanes) • Boat position, casting angles, and retrieves that trigger reaction bites • Common mistakes to avoid: drifting over the juice, fishing dead water, working baits too high Guest: Chris Johnston — Bassmaster Elite Series pro, 2024 and 2025 Angler of the Year, largemouth bass fishing grass specialist.
