Thanks and It was great conversating with you. Thanks for taking time to say hi.

Its the small things that make a good tournament angler. Whether its recognizing a bum hook, or color, bait size, or any combination. That is what makes us fishing nerds better & more consistent. Great stuff in the water, keeping calm with a positive mindset. (Its not easy) Thats how guys learn to WIN! Hopefully we'll see each other on the podium...👊

I don’t know if he offered but I would have gave you my swimbait jig box and said take what you need?? I like to see the guy in the boat with me catch fish too!!

@TheTinHorseMonty

Ай бұрын

Thanks Matt. I never asked but I'm sure Ray would have given me whatever he had in his boat.

Way to make what you had work and bring home a check. I got a question though; do you think taking a swim jig out of your bag, pulling the skirt off and throwing a swimbait on would have achieved a similar enough profile to get bit? Oh, and where are you getting beef for $2.89 a pound? I need to shop there lol.

@TheTinHorseMonty

Ай бұрын

You always pay attention to the details. I may have exaggerated the discount beef prices 😁. A swim jig hook would be to big and stout for the size of swimbait and the rod I was using. Good thoughts tho. Thanks.

Still a great showing despite faulty jig. What is your preferred jig for the keitech?

@TheTinHorseMonty

Thanks. I've been using the Tater Shad Jig Head bit.ly/4bQmnkO Also ordered some Big Bite Baits heads that have a sickle hook and a swivel line tie.

Don’t know what pound test leader you are throwing, but I would tighten drag a little for the hook set

Couldn’t the boater offer you a better jig head with a different hook? Surprised he never offered. Lots of bites and looks like a good day on the water.

I said the same thing. Why don’t the boater just give him a different jig head. They’re not competing against each other. 🤷‍♀️

Gabe what ya doin on coangler rods,i end up carrying 5,and really dont wanna carry 4,and would like ta get by with 3,iv found that 5-6 i end up spending to much time digging thru rods,and losing confidence,changin baits etc.and it becomes more of a distraction than assistance.but i find it hard ta leave the ramp with not all my bases covered.what do u or anybody else weigh in do,i try ta find versitile baits that i can fish 4ftor40ft,sumpthn fast and sumpthn dragging,topwater crankbait.

@TheTinHorseMonty

I typically take 7 rods but generally spend most of the day with 2-3 in my hand. I may pick up a rod and make a few casts based on the situation.

Not getting that fivth fish always hurts

Maybe if the boater had 2 hands on the net he nets that fish when it jumped, lucky it wasn't me he would of been told to make an effort

The fish was to far away from boat. I guess a 14' net may have worked.
