fishing tournament

on

What happens when your entire tournament plan falls apart? In this video, I take you behind the scenes of a real bass fishing tournament where I ended up finishing 3rd — but not by sticking to the script. From throwing a chatterbait and big fluke to working deep water ledges, nothing was getting it done… until I switched gears and started fishing a wacky Neko Rig worm and flipping shallow with an old-school soft plastic creature bait I’ve used in past top finishes, including a 2nd place in a BFL. This last-minute adjustment turned the day around — and exposed one of the real cheat codes in tournament bass fishing that the pros quietly lean on. Whether you’re fishing summer tournaments, pressured lakes, or just want to know what really works when it counts, this breakdown is for you.

This isn’t your typical drop shot rig. In this video, we break down the tournament-winning worm setup that’s making waves — a shallow water drop shot that’s totally different from the traditional deep water finesse technique. I’ll show you exactly how to rig it, the key modifications that make it work around grass, shallow cover, and pressured fish, and the best worms to throw for maximum bites. Plus, we’ll dive into the tournament where this trick was highlighted and why this customized drop shot is quickly becoming a must-know setup for serious bass anglers in the early summer bite. #DropShot #BassFishing #Tournament #FishingTips #WormFishing #FinesseFishing #ShallowWaterFishing #BassFishingRigs #FishingHack #Finesse #BassFishingSetup

This sneaky swimbait rigging trick is borderline UNFAIR. In this video, I show you how to rig a soft plastic swimbait to make it swim with ultra-natural, lifelike action — even in the most pressured bass fishing conditions. You’ll get an underwater look at how it moves, learn exactly how to fish it, and see why this swimbait setup flat-out catches fish when nothing else works. If you’re tired of followers and short strikes, this advanced swimbait technique might be your new secret weapon. Perfect for clear water, finesse swimbait fishing, and getting bites from big, pressured bass that have seen everything! Today we tested this swimbait rig on Smith Lake sight of the upcoming Major League Fishing Invitational tournament! #SwimbaitFishing #BassFishingTips #FishingHack #PressuredBass #BigBassTrick #SoftSwimbait #fishingsecrets #tournamentfishing

I spent 3 days on Lake Toho and the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and figured a prespawn technique that flat out wins bass tournaments! There is a Bassmaster BASS Open starting this week so we’ll see if this technique catches bass for the tournament winners.

In this fishing video I will teach you how an MLF FLW bass tournament angler won 100k in a fishing tournament catching bass from brushpiles. The technique involves a wide range of fishing lures from jigs, to texas rigged soft plastic worms, to swimbait and focuses on using sonar like my Lowrance HDS Live to target isolated offshore structures to catch bass. I will teach you how to look at your sonar to catch fish from brushpiles, what some of the best fishing lures are to catch bass using this technique, and some simple tips and tricks that will help any beginner angler that wants to learn to catch bass.

There is only one lure you need to catch bass in spring and honestly the way it triggers fish it’s like cheating!!! The Ned Rig is one of the best fishing lures for a couple reasons – it catches small fish and giant bass but also any angler can fish it from a beginner to an expert angler. It’s a finesse style technique that catches all species of bass and especially in late spring fishing a Ned Rig is just like cheating because the fish can’t resist it! I rig my ned rig jig with a small soft plastic worm stickbait that I cut down – a Gambler Ace and it’s tough to beat a color like green pumpkin. Since the water was not super clear and we were fishing for smallmouth and largemouth bass I used some chartreuse dip on the tail as well.

I like tournament fishing but when you see a bass fishing tournament devastate and destroy a lake like this it’s a trigger. Taking care of fish is very important in our sport because it means we can continue to enjoy the lakes and places we love to spend time so when you see fish wasting away at a boat ramp like this I’m disgusted. On a happier note I caught over 30lbs of bass – including 3 7 pounders on consective casts with a giant crankbait! Don’t miss the double up giant that comes off right next to the boat – probably would’ve been my PB but who knows. Key to catching fish was finding isolated structure using my C Map and scanning it with my HDS Live to look for just a couple bass and then fishing for micro schools of 2-4 fish. It was all a reaction bite – tossing a giant crankbait like the Strike King 10xd on 12lbs flourocarbon and grinding on the bottom!

There is nothing for fun for an angler than exploring a fishing tackle store! We walk thru GTO – Guntersville Tackle and Outdoors just down the street from Lake Guntersville. Paul the owner is stocked up with Gambler stuff for the upcoming free tournament September 28th and there’s also a bunch of cool local fishing lures! One of the most interesting things I found was a topwater chopper lure I’ve never seen before from Jackall and a Megabass Big M 4.0 Crankbaits, a monster squarebill crankbait which I can’t wait to try out grass fishing!
