TOURNAMENT Anglers DEVASTATE a LAKE!!! SUCH a WASTE!??!

on February 21, 2020January 31, 2020

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!

I LOVE FISHING TACKLE STORES! GTO WALK THRU

on November 19, 2019October 14, 2019

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!

The END of TOURNAMENT BASS FISHING as we KNOW IT!!! (MLF BUYS FLW??)

on October 14, 2019October 14, 2019

Is this the END??? Bass fishing has changed so much lately that it’s almost not surprising that tournament fishing is evolving just as quickly – good or bad! As I’m sure you’ve read Major League Fishing (MLF) is buying FLW Outdoors one of the 2 biggest players in tournament bass fishing for the past 25 years. This continues the move by MLF to change the framework and standards of tournament fishing into a more bass friendly, network friendly, marketable content form. Like anything there are pros to the changes and there are cons, but one thing we can all agree on is you can’t stop change and seeing as the bass fishing tournament scene has been the same format going on 20+ years, it’s probably time to take a fresh look and mix it up.

YouTuber vs PRO | FISHING Challenge PUNCHING for Bass!!!

on April 4, 2019March 21, 2019

Ever wonder if Youtubers can beat pros at fishing in a punching challenge fishing tournament? The challenge is on punching for bass on Lake Rousseau against pro angler Glenn Browne and a former NFL football player Ellis vs Mikeybalzz Fishing and Chris of 44 Tackle! Punching is an awesome winter and spring technique for catching bass on their way to spawn in Florida. Heavy cover and heavy vegetation like hydrilla, milfoil, and hyacinth retain heat and offer a great hideout for fish as they stage up. Glenn is one of the masters at punching heavy cover and he used a 1.5oz tungsten weight a heavy Lews fishing rod and a new Lews fishing reel made specifically for punching spooled up with 65lbs braided fishing line.

This was an epic matchup versus some insane anglers and we had a ton of fun. The key pattern was targeting points and corners where fish were stacked up but tentative to bite until they were triggered by pumping the lure under the mat or suspending it.

This was a great highlight for the Gambler #GearUp PUNCHING ESSENTIALS box featuring Glenn’s picks of the must have punching lures when fishing heavy vegetation https://bit.ly/2se5jAt

We could’ve WON $300k!?!! FORREST Wood CUP Wobble Head FISHING Revealed

on December 11, 2018November 2, 2018

Always makes you wonder if you could win $300k at a giant fishing tournament like the FLW Forrest Wood Cup…we do know the wobble head fishing pattern it took to win and we’ll reveal that right here. It’s a fishing technique I have been using to fish for bass on brushpiles for years. It’s like many other winning techniques – just take something that catches fish and re-imagine how to use it in order to address another fishing need.

That’s what Clent Davis did in the Forrest Wood Cup to win over $300k on Lake Ouachita in August. It’s an epic summer fishing pattern that reveals how you never have to fish a fishing lure the way it’s supposed to be fished. Any fishing bait can be used in a million different ways. The wobble head is such a versatile fishing lure and dragging it on offshore structure is a less known method that you need to try if you’re targeting brush piles, shell bars, or fish in the deeper depths of your lake.

The ANGLER walk of SHAME

on August 21, 2018August 6, 2018

We’ve all been there strutting the angler walk of shame at the end of a hard fished tournament. It’s tough to swallow after having put in so much time and really committed to laying it all on the line – but that’s the reality of tournament fishing, especially on Lake Okeechobee. There’s no shame in losing – even badly if you’re able to reset as an angler and come back and fish again. And sometimes that’s all you can do – fish, fail, and get right back out there. The walk of shame is just a reminder of how humbling this sport can be and how mother nature is never predictable when it comes to fishing for bass.

Once again the topwater frog was a top fishing lure out here on Lake Okeechobee as well as punching with a jig and Mega Daddy combo or a 1/2oz. Hawgtech tungsten paired up with a bulk plastic bait.
