    I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

  • @Ken-we1bz

    I've always felt that the tube is an underutilized bait that catches fish. I like to fish them with old school weighted hooks with exposed point, so it's tendency to hang up is high. But now having Mead as my home lake, I've been able to fish these again!

    I rediscovered tubes last year, by accident. Was frustrated that day, just decided to try something completely different for me. 4 largest in the next hour convinced me to dig much deeper. With all the available baits out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed/forget about old standbys like tubes.

    Sorry about your luck Matt. I had a day fishing with a 2inch jerk bait one day and when the bass left the the carp came in and I couldn't tell you how many I caught on that plastic plug until this big 15 or 20lber showed up ad stripped the wires out of the lure. Thanks for sharing what you do bro.

  • @yankeebass1
    @yankeebass1 2 місяці тому +1

    I started flipping tubes about 2 years ago during BFLs as a co-angler to get a different look then my boater. My favorite flipping tube is the Big Bite Baits Craw tube in Tilapia. I realized this spring that the 5/0 1/4 and 3/8 oz Ozark Rig works perfectly with this tube and the 4/0 fits perfectly on a 4" standard tube as well. with mid strolling being the thing now have you tried using a shad colored 3" to 4" tube in a shad pattern instead of a minnow bait? Since I couldn't sleep, I tried a 4" Bass pro Magnum tube and figured out the 4/0 Tush works perfectly with it. Granted it is a heavier gauge hook but I would think that the tentacles undulating while you do the shake and reel would work perfectly with those suspended fish.

    Great video Matt, I love tubes. Been flipping them in heavy cover so can't use exposed hook. Can you recommend a good hook that I can expose. Primarily use larger tubes like the coffee tube but also drop down to 2 inch when the bite is really Tough. Thank you.

    I’ll be trying the tush in a tube tomorrow. I tried a stupid tube for the first time this year. It’s become my go to when I start snagging and losing jigs. It really is a multi species bite. Pickerel, catfish, snake head, blue gill and largemouth all will bite it.

    A local lake has a slot limit . The Conservation Dept request anglers keep bass under the slot of 12 inches. There is no faster way for me to catch a limit than with 2.5" Gitzits 1/8th oz jig head on rip rap banks..

I caught another 5 lb sheephead on a crankbait. They must be in the river spawning. The bass were kinda tiny but still fun to catch. The water was covered in cottonwood seeds. I dont see any videos on what lures or baits to use when that's a problem. Probably gonna use some texas rigs and shakeyheads and other bottom techniques tomorrow.
