Bass fishing is changing fast, and younger anglers might just have the edge – and we just saw it in the Ultimate Angler Championship where Tucker Smith won one of the biggest tournaments ever on Lake Guntersville. In this video, we break down whether young anglers are actually better at fishing, or if it’s simply that the sport has evolved. From college and high school tournaments to Bassmaster and Major League Fishing, the next generation is growing up with forward-facing sonar, finesse rigs, and new techniques that veteran pros had to adapt to later in their careers. But does that make them better—or just different? I’ll share my perspective from years on the water, why young anglers are excelling, and how experience and old-school knowledge still play a massive role in winning tournaments.

The TOXIC red tide green algae slime covering Florida waters is a hot topic so we’re going to have a fishing challenge to see if you can actually catch fish in the slimy green water. With the spillway gates open a lot of current is pushing the algae down the river towards the coast and our challenge is to take advantage of the fishing opportunity moving water provides during the summer heat. One of the biggest summer fishing tips I can give any angler is find moving water or current so that’s what we’re going to do to try to win this fishing challenge!!! The biggest question is how much does the toxic blue green algae slime make the fish tough to catch. There are a some INSANE fishing twists in this video including a massive snook, gar fish, and tilapia so make sure you watch the whole fishing challenge and what fishing lures show off when put to the angling test!!!
