Are Young Anglers Just BETTER at Fishing?

on October 14, 2025October 13, 2025

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.

Lake Guntersville is legendary for giant bass and the host for the biggest tournament ever – The Ultimate Angler Championship — and flipping heavy grass and thick weeds is one of the best ways to catch them. In this video, I head back to the same area where I finished 3rd in a tournament and break down the exact keys to flipping and pitching in heavy cover. From picking the right flipping bait and soft plastic creature lures, to choosing the perfect rod, reel, and heavy line setup, I’ll show you how to get more bites in some of the nastiest grass on the lake. Whether you’re fishing matted hydrilla, milfoil edges, or shallow grass beds, these flipping tips will help you hook into more big bass. If you love power fishing and tournament strategies, you won’t want to miss this Lake Guntersville breakdown!
