My first TOP 10 FINISH! Small Adjustment Helped me CATCH || Smith Mountain Bass Fishing Tournament
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2024
- It's finally here! 2024 tourney season has begun, and we have 39 of them on the books between BFL's, @AnglersChoiceMarine events, and jon boat derbies.....the schedule is FULL!
Spent 3 days down at Smith Mountain Lake pre fishing with the boys @hpsfishing @fishingthedmv and Phil leading into the tournament. Found a ton of fish shallow on docks, in the first 1/3 of major creeks, main lake pockets and secondary points. Pre fishing I was tossing a 10" glidebait around and seeing which docks I could move fish off of, avoided catching them and felt I found enough to give me a bit of confidence going into tournament day that even if they weren't biting in these areas they were not far. I tried to get the shallow bite going first thing, and had to make a small adjustment to find the fish. Really happy with how this event went, and can't wait for the next one.

Matt you’re awesome. Humble, unselfish, kind, and an absolute bass slayer. Congratulations, you reap what you sow. Good things are in store for you my friend.
That’s the way a Boater should treat their Co-Angler 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
My buddy was a coangler dude lost my friends bags and two rods and didn't care a bit
Getting 6th/88 and still losing $100 is wild. I’ve accepted that most tournaments nowadays are just for fun. Plus adding in the BFL registration fee of $95 to renew your membership. So if you look at everyone paying ≈$325 for this tournament, add in roughly all payouts, MLF still made $15,000 while angler payout was only about $13,650 for the boater side only. Co-angler side is worse.
Co payout was roughly $7k for roughly $17,600 paid in @$200 for the first tournament ($110 entry fee plus $95 membership)
Edit: but 6th/88 is awesome and you should be proud, money aside! Great job and great video!
Fishing these BFLs is for pure enjoyment, learning, and content. You are 100% right, monetarily there is no value in these events. The poker player inside of me screams at the terrible payout structure.
Proof livescope doesn't automatically make you a champion. Great stuff man
This man is the best boater ever!!
YAY! Tournament videos! So awesome to see you on my home lake! Awesome bag bro!

I hate ffs but will still watch for that cool interesting end of each tourney video cost stats you doing thats interesting lol
Actually the first here for once. 👀 keep up the great content brother love seeing a fellow Virginia fisherman catching some bigs 💪🏼
Thanks for watching! I appreciate ya
Never seen somebody so happy to lose $100! Jk. It is really interesting how it works out. I wish you luck Matt.
My first BFL of the year was 22 at takeoff, still dipping my rod at 1pm, and didn’t make it back to weight my fish because boat issues. Glad you did better!😂
dang that sounds ROUGH!
@@SBFishing I’m a Co so hopefully it didn’t screw my year. First time trying to fish all 5.
Hps saves the day once again
Let’s go🔥🔥killer video bro
Thanks for checkin it out Damian 🤘🏻
👊👊👊
You carried that tourney
Love ur video. Great finish on the bf. And wanted to ask u a question. Which transducer u running for ur livescope
Thanks Keith! Running an lvs32!
Ok then trying to get minds together to start using it
600 bucks for 6th thats crazy for a $200 entry fee how many boats should of been more
Everyone hit the like button ✅ thanks 👍
Did your co give you any money for gas? Gotta add that in there too closer to breaking even if he gave you 40 bucks or so
oh dude, you are totally right. Thanks!
Is anglers choice interested in sponsoring a high school angler?
This is scary. I hope no one’s significant other sees this video and starts to monitor what we spend compared to earnings…😂
I can say I'll probably end up down a few grand....but it's all good.
It’s sad as a tournament fisherman if you’re not winning almost every tournament or at least in the top 3 you will lose money.
Ffs real ruin it for the co anglers. He can’t see what you seeing while you stare at a screen
He had plenty of stuff to fish without ffs.
your exactly right, he basically was the net guy lol, he probally learned his lesson, ffs makes co anglers handicapped
i was laughing when SB gave him a little ffs style bait to use, those baits are useless unless u see fish on ffs and jiggle in their face lol
😂@@SBFishing
these live scope videos are boring, im surprised tourneys havent banned them yet, nothing personal against you SB but i have basically stopped watching this and other video game bass videos where people use a little jig head minnow to live scope a bass
As far as content goes, What is the difference between watching someone throw a minnow on livescope and watching someone drag a jig or throw a DD crank, nothing there is no difference, you are still just watching someone stand on the front of the boat in open water, and for FFS content is more entertaining especially when there is a recording of the graph so you can see it all happening
good points but, its still imo way less entertaining watching ffs vs.the old school way, SB is a cool guy im not a hater i will still watch just for the fact he is fun to watch but i trully hate livescope in a tourney setting, if it was up to me heck all electronics be banned EXCEPT one unit for gps and depth for safety reasons and ZERO fish finders, now to me that would be more exciting@@christianmullins435
I literally caught all my fish in practice shallow, flipping docks, in under 6'. I had to make an adjustment to catch them because of the massive cold front that came through. As long as it's legal, and working, I'm absolutely 100% using it. Sorry you're not a fan of it, but I can almost guarantee the guy who won was doing the exact same thing. I'm tryin to win.
Looks like u need ta eat a few of them fish..you looking kinda boney😅
