Can’t wait to chuck one of these and loose it on the first cast 😂
That would be my luck too😂
Nice video! Finally a video of the gathering that shows off some fire swimbaits and gear
Thanks for watching 🙏
Vic airing out the real world problems
Vic was keeping it real😂
I wonder if Matt from Mattlures ever imagined an entire industry and all the competition could have ever blown up like it has today, compared to 20 yers ago. Especially when I can identify as a So Cal native, tackle shop rat, that witnessed its birth in my early and late teens. It's like a dream come true for me. I even saw the original hand made AC plug type baits that were only sold locally at near by lakes, years before Allen Cole ever patented the design. In the mid 80's, the go to bait was the silver and black 7" Bomber Long A, but were eventually considered too small for the 20+ to 30+ lb reservoir stripers being targeted by a very select group.
Yeah, crazy how far it all has come since those days!
@@crazybassfisher it really is a new golden era. thanks for recognizing it early and making it happen!
Wow, in the mecca of giant baits and giant bass... that was an entertaining piece of video sir!
Cool show, thanks for sharing!! Come along way from the ms slammer and castaic days..
It’s come so far haha wild to see
That was a great shot of me digging in my ass you got there lol!!! I was at the F5 booth, I thought you were taking a picture for a second
Might want to edit out that fish in the livewell… can’t have anything in the box on lake fork between 16-24”. Guys have been known to catch cases in Texas for social media content. Just a friendly heads up
Had no clue, my buddy Jared didn’t even know and he lives in Texas 😂
@@crazybassfisher it’s unique to fork. Maybe like two other lakes
best video of the gathering! Sick baits, cool dudes!
Thanks for watching 🤙
WOW this looks like a great place to hit up!!!! do they do this annually or whens the next in TX?
YO !!! K.J.! What UUUUP !!!
Sweet vid! Really enjoyed it mang!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼
Thanks for watching homie 🤙
Awesome video! Loving the meetups and all the new peeps. If you ever have gear you want to sell could you share it on the channel with us?
I'm from South Africa , how will I be able to get that daily rods . You should visit South Africa , we also have some dope lake's , maybe as much as 3 that can compare to lake fork sise fish . One definitely , holds the current South African record of 7 + kilos / over 15 lbs . Enjoy your content 🎣
Where can I find those PTB swim baits?? They look amazing
Try searching Fish Eveything Swimbaits!
@@crazybassfisher looks like they’re sold out, do you have any recommendations for a single joint 8-9” shad glide
Man sucks I missed this event. Had no idea it was there and I am only 2hours away.
Oh well probably for the best since I definitely would have spent too much money if I did make it over there.. Hope to see move vids from the trip with you catching some bigs...
Hopefully they do another one next year! Definitely recommend going!
the best my friend, I really like your video
Awesome show wish they had something like that here in the northeast. Did I read that right 5K for a Matt lures bass?
I guess the closest thing would be the original Virginia show they do every year! Yeah, $5000 was correct😂
I seen victor deppe selling his baits. Me and him fish the same lake, loch raven reservoir in Maryland. I have no issues but he use to hate on me cuz im well known around here for catching big fish from the bank.
Great video. One on the new color way...... Nice!
Thanks for watching homie 🙏
@@crazybassfisher 🙏🏽
Looks like that would be fun place to be at, & could spend a lot of coin! I've mostly fished big soft swimbaits . I recently just got a klash9 from new drop. But I would like to get a big 9-10" glide more for open water & drawing power. What big glide that suspend do you recommend? I'm ok with spending some $ on one. Im not looking for a budget bait. I'd rather get a quality bait that's not a commonly used that I can spend a lot time with. But a suspending or something I could put weight strips on & make suspend.
There’s surprisingly not many floating big glide baits out there, the best one that fits your description would be a Gan Craft 230 in a floating option, not many guys throw that bait but the guys that do catch them really good on it
@@crazybassfisher ok sounds good, what about any big suspending glides
Awesome video as usual
Imagine getting snagged first cast spending all that money
😂😂
Mabey they would let you get away with thoes 12 rods this time lol
Damn one of the best videos of the gathering thank u for recording this. I really need to get myself to one of these I been slacking looks like a cool event. Those swimbait coffins are badass. Matt is insane with those limited custom baits that bass literally looked like a real bass with joints haha.
It was a cool event! Matt outdid himself with those bass baits!
There's a slot limit be careful putting it in your live well.
Had no clue, neither did my buddy who lives in Texas 😂
Awesome video man. So are you going to move to Japan?
Thanks for watching! Yes, will be moving soon!
Congratulations..what a great blessing 🙏 keep doing your thing bro
Yep 5k for a swimbait. Now that 100k bassboat seems like a deal
😂😂
Dude! One worde from Sweden! Isperation!!!!
Thanks for watching 🙏
I could not make it out bro,thanks you for taking some footage
Thanks for watching homie 🙏
Dope! Love to see it 🫡
Thanks for watching ✌️
How do you leave out Pizz's booth during your walkthrough?? He's literally one of the biggest attractions to every Gathering
I missed out on both Pizz and KGB because I got there too late and the lines were so tight, I couldn’t film them unfortunately. Bummed that I couldn’t get those guys!
Dude you couldn’t really get close to pizz’s booth at the beginning. By the time you could there were no baits
Why wasn't this event publicized better than it was. I am at Fork quite a bit and never heard about it before the event. Many anglers I know that live at Fork did not even hear about it before it happened. Many of us would have spent some money there. Next year, do a better job of advertising it.
How come no visit to the pizz table???
did Matt sell any of those 5k lures?
No, he had no plan on selling them, he said they were more of just a show piece for what’s coming soon
From the sellers and baits to the youtubers, this was such a crazy montage of my favorite fishing stuff and people haha. Thanks for the awesome video.
How come y’all didn’t invite me. I like swim baits too!!
Haha come out next time!
When is this event happening again
The greats 😎
Came straight to the comments after seeing those mattlures bass 😂
They are so cool though😂
Dope video jeff
I pray it comes back next year work pulled me away from this year
I think they plan on having another one next year!
What did you think of the daily rod?
It’s a really nice rod actually, Jared did a really good job designing the rod. Light weight and fun to fish
I’m digging this Daily. The Chad Shad is most definitely going on this one
It’s so lite
Did you win on my Huddleston tickets? 😊
Unfortunately I didn’t 😂 thanks for the ticket though 🤙
Really awesome seeing all those baits and bait manufactures.. Really Too bad Working Class Zero had Zero of their Battle chad and Citizen baits..
Thanks for watching 🤟
Love the vid wish u woulda got more time with Edwin aka Legal Dope bro he makes awesome baits they get em at the hookup
He’s super cool, took his daughter out fishing when they lived in Az a few years ago!
awesome video!
Thanks for watching 🤟
18.18 Texas record. Easy to remember. Caught on a crappie minnow.
That’s such a giant bass
Be careful dude. That was a slot fish
Had no clue it was a slot lake 😂
Wait. How in the world did I not know about this? 😢
Thought I saw grant going there.
Mr Langmore is the guy🔥
Recorded horizontally😀👍
Thanks for watching 👍
Some people have too much bloody money.
Why is it $5,000?
Just for jokes, not meant to actually sell the baits
It would hurt to lose the 5,000 dollar swimbait on a little pickeral or pike lol
Those dudes feeling themselves 5gs for a bait when you could buy everything you need and take the "fish with your masterpiece" marling bait class for cheaper
Coolio👍✌️✌️
Thanks for watching 🤟
I have a 2006 ranger 188vs with a 150 Yamaha, trailer Minn Kota 112. I paid $5000 for it. 😂
Skeeeee!
Thanks for watching homie 🤟
Swimbait dudes be always trying to make everything look so interesting with all their stickers . In all honesty I have walked in and out of a few of these shows it’s one of the dorkiest places on earth . I’d compare swimbait shows to a comic book festival. Lots of these baits look great and carry a hefty price tag but do not produce. Very few are actually worth the money most just trash .
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for watching 🤙
5k swimbaits are just a show piece in a cabinet at that point... thats not even fishable! they look amazing but only buyers are collectors n horders
5 grand for a swimbait, lol is that a joke or something?
You could take a 0 off that $5000 price tag and you would still be paying way too much. Probably some sort of marketing ploy to make his $300 baits look like a bargain. Bass fisherman are some of the dumbest around from the Kayakers that have $10K plus invested in their plastic rig to the $100K glass boat guys. The only people making money are the guys making the stuff and also the tournament directors that take 20+ percent of the purse.
If you’re broke just say that. 😂
Found the broke momma’s boy.
I mean, there is a sensible middle ground between scoffing at reasonable prices for custom work and $5K for a swimbait. I’m far from broke personally but I don’t see why that swimbait could possibly be worth that much unless it had a world record attached to it.
@@marsn9897 I'm not STUPID. What are you going to do with that thing? Put it in a glass case? It doesn't look like all that to me and there are plenty that look better for a fraction of the cost. A $30 Hudd will catch way more fish then that thing. The cost of fishing has gotten out of hand. These yaker dudes probablly scoffed at the glass boat guys when they bought their yak's and now they're doing the same thing those guys are doing. Quit pissing off money on fishing because odds are it won't get you anywhere. Even if you win regularly you're just investing that money back into fishing. There's no money in fishing unless you happen to have a successful youtube channel or you're very good at fishing but even better at pimping the gear of your sponsors. Quit watching videos and go learn a lake that has a decent population of large bass. Learn the spots they move up to feed on and if you time it right you can catch large fish on a $1 plastic bait. I've done this and have caught plenty of big fish. Anymore it takes an 8lber to get my heart racing unless i'm fishing a tournament then a 3# might do it if it fights hard enough. I've been at this game along time and have watched it get out of hand. I talked to a guy the other day that was fishing in a $100K+ bass boat. He said his PB was 5 lbs. The last time I was fishing the spot he was in I caught a 5lber. I didn't say anything but talk about running before you can even walk. The guy would have been much better off buying a $5K tin rig he can abuse and really get after the fish instead of that aircraft carrier he was in.
@@jimrockford4309 " Quit watching videos and go learn a lake that has a decent population of large bass." what are you doing here then. Maybe you should do you.
THERE'S NO WAY IN GODS CREATION I WOULD EVER LIVE COMIFORNIA ALL MY LIFE I'VE HEARD NOTHING BUT HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE WEST COAST. I GUESS THAT'S WHY ALL THOSE COMIFORNIANS ARE FLOODING THE EAST COAST
Bucket list show for me to come see!
It was such a good show, highly recommend it!
Boooooring
nice
Thanks for watching ✌️
