 Kicking their bass TV. I know you guys have been wanting to hear what we did at World Finals me and fochi How to pretty decent finish I'm not gonna lie I'm at World Finals. We really wanted to win that thing, you know I'm saying but we led the state of Georgia and Proud to say that we did that so and we had a blast. That's pretty much all that matters Yeah, we did work our butts off for that tournament. We were hoping to come with the first place finish, but It's not you're not gonna win every tournament guys Just how it is if you can win every tournament and you fish 50 turns or you whenever you turn you come to me I'll give you $500,000. I mean that's a good job But seriously guys You can't win every tournament So if you if you lose a tournament or you don't place where you want to don't get yourself down keep your head up Keep flying guys. We went or I went from World Finals the Nationals like three days in between You know I'm saying so I went from kind of mad at myself not really mad, but just not Satisfied from World Finals going into Nationals. You know what I mean? It was just like So you got to get your mind on to the next thing. Don't worry about it. That's in the past You can't change what's in the past. So let's go ahead and go over what happened. So we're fishing the first day and Or I'm gonna go ahead and start back a little bit. So we practice for this tournament It's just World Finals on Lake Pickwick. I'll post all the Pickwick videos vlogs Tournament video the termivity right away I really think it was the bet one of the best videos I've ever made if you guys can please go check that out It has almost about 10,000 views You guys really showed me a lot of love on that video if the likes and everything really appreciated But pretty much it all started two weeks before the tournament, you know where we went down there We practiced for two days and the first day we had around 20 pounds or first day We had around 22 pounds second day we had around 20 pounds. So I mean we're on the fish We found the fish they're out on those main lake ledges, you know, they're by the river channel They're in that deep water where it's come up the shallows next to the river channel pretty much We're sitting out in the middle of nowhere You know I'm saying and then we had some backup spots like bridges and stuff like that Just in case something happens, you never know what's gonna happen You need to have a backup plan that way we could go to that So we fished then and we had around 20 pounds both days. So we had around four pounds to I mean that's amazing That dive would have won it, you know, I'm saying So we come back two weeks later. We're hoping not too much of a change. We knew it wasn't gonna be exactly the same, you know, I'm saying And so pretty much what we call this fish on that the two weeks before the tournament call on a jig Caught some on one of the big old Ben Parker spoons or that boat flipped a frickin five pounder in the boat with a big Ben Parker spin, that's dangerous, but Caught some on that first time ever caught one big spoons. That was pretty cool Mostly jig and everything but anyways going on. We practiced two days before the tournament So we pretty much scouted the first day. We're just we're more of scanning, you know We're going over those spots. We found those fish. We're trying to figure out If those fish are still there where their stage and we're marking way points for market lineups So we're gonna come 50 foot before this I'm just gonna say this brush pile and just get the lineups right and everything, you know, same Just make sure we're prepared. So we're pretty much scanning the first day Found some fish. We back off fish them And if you get a bite, we leave, you know, if we hook one one we call it one and done one you leave You don't want to store lip your fish. You just want to make sure they're there So we were catching some of them and the ones that were catching were small, you know, they're only a couple pounds The biggest one was probably like three pounds first day We didn't catch too many I broke I broke one off. That was really good on a drop shot. If you guys watch the vlog I know you saw that Which is that pretty that hurt I mean, I'm not trying to catch all the big fish during practice, but just to know how to go I broke off the steaks But pretty much just gonna have the biggest fish so we went out the second day and we're going out there and we're gonna scan again What we noticed where those fish Weren't exactly where they were the day before and or two weeks before Those fish were kind of new, you know, they they're more scattered they they weren't we're looking for on the bottom We're like just stack up on the bottom. You know, we're finding schools like 20 fish is lined up, you know And then there's other fish layered feet feet within that and we're finding tons of fish and then that date They started to move and we're just saying ourselves. What's going on? We're trying to analyze it You know, you got to break it down. This makes that's what really really makes a good fisherman and a moderate fisherman You got to break it down guys because you got to be ready for every situation that comes and hits you in the face So we just had to stop we were really trying to focus on oh the fish are here But we really needed to zone in on what was really happening, you know, we had to get in our head we had to Get off what we were confident with for a second there and say this isn't what the fish are doing You know, we had to really reanalyze it and say what are the fish doing? Then we started to locate them What we noticed the fish we're starting to do We were finding fish on those main lake ledges and or hops The fish started to move towards I guess you could call it. There's secondary Ledges or hops so we're moving a little bit shallower and the ones that weren't near the river channel So I guess you could call it secondary hops not near the river channel is a little further back It was like it. I would call it a step closer and shallower So pretty much what we had to do is find all new spots All those spots were useless that we found two weeks prior in the day before prior The spots are useless, you know, they're trash. I want to call 100% useless. You could sit on them all day You could probably get your fish or two, you know, but we wanted to be on the fish We want to find the fish. What are the fish doing? We wanted to catch them, you know We wanted to just have it down half So our last day of practice So we pretty much scan the rest of the day found some new spots found this one spot We saw some big fish on the graph and I was like, all right, let's just test it one time You know, so we backed off I got the boat along into the wind and everything and I had my line up I was like, oh, we're about 100 foot away from where the fish are at Fish are lined up this way. So I'm gonna kind of throw it at angle. So I'm in the strike zone and Sure enough through your first cast working my jig Five pounders about Probably about six pounds Gosh, I mean get that got the on camera and everything big fish. I mean six pounder in practice. That's freaking awesome But not the day before the tournament, you know, I mean, I would love to catch a six-pounder any day except Day before the tournament, but we knew they were there. We're like, all right, you know This isn't the only big fish kept her heads up. We're like, this isn't the only big fish this fish are gonna stay here So that was pretty much and then my dad caught a small mouth on this little rocky Point I guess you could say that was pretty much a backup plan just in case crazy crap happened So we found a backup plan found some new spots found a spot with some really big fish and we knew they were there We knew they were stacked up. So come on tournament day number one First spot we go to of course the spot where I call that six go to that spot Fishing for a little bit. Boom. I get one really into the boat. It's about two and a half pounds Get that fish in the boat as I'm Putting the cold ball on them and everything put them in the live. Well Foshie she gets one it's about the same size as my maybe a little bit smaller probably about two pounds Almost two and a half pounds. We're like, all right. This is start the start It's like that we caught fish just right on so we're like, I wouldn't stay here If we start to catch too much, we're gonna move off and see the fish for the other days, you know but we kept on fishing it and cheer up boom believe warrior caught a really good one there and We was around three pounds caught one there and then she hooked into another fish and it was I Really want to say about 70 pounds And if you guys watch the tournament video you guys saw it. She got up to the boat and Literally right at the net it jumped off and if you guys haven't seen that video go watch a tournament video It was a giant. I mean, it's probably good 70 pounder And when I'm into the net say this into the net right here. Here's the fish like it was I Can't even explain how close it was. It was just inches and the fish jumped off and that hurts You know when you lose eight pounds say your fishes your smallest fish is one pound think about seven pounds your total weight You know, I mean, I mean, that's just insane So that happened everyone to one of our other spots. I threw in there I caught like a four and a half boom was the biggest fish of that day And then I believe she called one that was around three and we ended up with a total weight of like 13 pounds almost 14 pounds We're sitting in like 16th place right there. We're leading Georgia. The way they did it was a little bit different So we're sitting around 16th place Going into the second day This fish just started to move guys first spot Laura ain't got a good one got into the boat pretty big fish went to her second spot got another one And then we had ended up having to hit our backup plane like I said my dad caught a small mouth And we picked up a small mouth there It's just pretty crazy Savor, but we ended up having like 11 pounds that day. I'm with like a five pound kicker So that was pretty good and we're still leading Georgia then so we're gonna go on to the third day And we're not gonna have to go into the second chance qualifier We're pretty much going to automatically qualify for the first 20 top 20 teams and by the way There was like a hundred and eighty hundred and ninety boats in this whole tournament. So there's a lot of teams Going into the third day just catching tons of small fish and we messed up really bad right here And this is one of the most important things you need to know You look over the rules guys need to make sure you understand everything about the tournament when you need to check in What's the length on the fish, you know? Spy fish lemon so three fish only you see you know all this simple information may sound simple, but you just need to know it Well, we thought how they did it wasn't I'm not I exactly don't remember now But it was like Tennessee was 12 inches and Alabama was 14 inches for all fish and I'm not sure if that's backwards or if not. I'll remember But we were catching for we thought Or actually it was 15 inches. So we thought the limit size was 15 inches We were catching 14 inches and 14 and three quarters All right, like on the money like I mean it was just there and we're throwing them back in the matter of the fact is 12 inches was a keeper and we're sitting here throwing all these fish back I mean we cut out easy easy eight pounds just throw it through eight panels back Then I missed about a five and a half six pounder at the boat like he just was coming at my bait I was starting to chatter me at the time He's freaking already at it and then just took off took away. I was like man, that sucks, you know, it was right there Just couldn't buy it. Um, but pretty much we would have a eight pounds we're heading back in and We finally realized wow was only 12 inches and I mean that screwed up the whole tournament for us You know, we probably could have fished the next day Because I had a possible chance of pretty much winning the whole thing, you know But at that point we're pretty much whooped, you know And we're just thankful to get where we got we led Georgia and I mean that was an accomplishment for us We're happy with it. We had a good time and we got fish heck, you know three days of the tournament It was a good time. So pretty much what we caught it on was pretty much everything was on a football I'm not gonna lie. Um, I did throw a charity the last day in which I caught about eight ten pounds long was chatter bait But of course didn't weigh any of this fish in but the jig I'm using one of my buddies He customizes Chattahoochee jigs It's just a football jig and it's a one-house jigs. It's pretty heavy This one's in brown. It has a little bit of green flakes in it and then the trailer is just a regular rage curl It's green pumpkin with a little bit of chargers on the back. That's the bait that we're throwing. We're just killing them on I mean, they're just tagging the crab body and The pole I'm using or the real I'm using is abracia revo rock It's a really great reel and the reason I'm using it is because I'm looking at this fish I'll deep and I'm pretty much wanting to get this fish to the boat as quick as possible I don't want to lose those fish as large amounts of love to spit the lure So pretty much that nine to one gear ratio real got the fish to the boat really quick And then I have a legend tournament by sinker rods, and this is a seven ten heavy power rod This is a swimming rod not a jig rod, but I am using it for a jig I was using that extra long rod like I said I want to get this fish off and deep on make sure I got a good hook set and I got the fish to the boat And yeah, we'll wear you out when you're working in stuff But heck it's worth it never lost a fish on it and just did all performance wise is great If you have any questions or any abracia reels or sinker rods out play your reviews on my page and go check it out But pretty much guys that's what happened the world finals We did pretty good if you guys want to go watch the vlogs I have like five logs out for it and I have the tournament videos The tournament videos phenomenal in my opinion if you guys can please share the channels of love and go check out That video that would be amazing So if you got some little tips out of this and you enjoyed watching the video Please give the video a thumbs up be sure to go check out my latest vlogs with my dad torquing and everything She does
