Chickamauga BEAT DOWN! Busted a 25# Bag For The WIN

I busted a 25# bag to best 2nd place by 13" in this Chickimauga Beat Down.With pre front conditions and over cast skies this tournament set up perfectly for an epic buzz bait bite. I even got a little sneaky at the end of the day and pulled out a custom swimbait to catch 3 big upgrades in the last hour of the day.

Glad you showed getting tangled up on that hookset. Sometimes i feel like i spend more time untangling stuff than I do fishing. I'm not alone lol

You are definitely not alone. Some days are definitely worse than others. It’s good practice in controlling frustration and staying focused.

What a beautiful and satisfying day on the lake and share it with us today! I could watch your tournament days for hours I love watching your skills and technique on the water you sure know where to find them and I really enjoy them when you bring them on the kayak. I can’t wait for the end results video but when I’m off in a couple of days I think I’m going to watch some more of your videos!! Thank you so much keep them coming tight lines take care and God bless!

That setup for standing with the motor looks like it is working out well

[@garrettwadefishing]

I can’t imagine going back to the way I had it.

[@ericbentley8053]

Are you steering with your shins?

[@garrettwadefishing]

I am. I have a cushion on the foot pedals so it doesn’t bruise them.

[@ericbentley8053]

Perfect

[@rickwade959]

I’d say 6#, 8# if I caught it.

[@garrettwadefishing]

I’d call it 8 if you caught it.

[@timy6720]

[@garrettwadefishing]

I think your safe on that one. 👊
