Bass Fishing Tournaments- Beyond the Stage at Tellico Fort Loudoun

[@LakeForkGuy]

Gig'em! Tournament are like a roller coaster, it's a series of highs and lows. Excitement, fun, anger, disgust, frustration, amazing, best day of your life, worst day of your life. That's how I would describe it.

[@LakeForkGuy]

Thanks for watching! I might hit up that tournament on the 27th myself. I have not been there in years but I hear the grass is coming back so the fishing should be alright

[@johnb.3022]

LakeForkGuy its 2018 and fall n winter fish have been better then the summer bite. Its so wierd.. So get ya a cold tournament lined up on loudon n holler when u need a co angler and we will go win..

[@LakeForkGuy]

I would say around 4-5. You have your heavy action rod for flipping and frogs, your medium heavy rod for lighter texas rigs, weightless flukes and senko style baits, and spinnerbaits ext. Your medium action for cranking and and topwater and other treble hooks, then a medium or medium light action spinning rod for finesse baits. This will cover your basics for bass. You can have as many as 20-30 rods when you get really specific with techniques

[@LakeForkGuy]

Thank you so much! It's a lot of time and effort but I love doing it

[@LakeForkGuy]

HOW TO CATCH BASS IN DEEP WATER is an offshore vid a did a while back if you have not scene that one yet. I need to do another one, it's that time of year

[@LakeForkGuy]

It was back in May

[@allenpeloquin4492]

Thanks for taking the time and I love the new Legend Boat

[@LakeForkGuy]

I am allowed to video and I did have the first hour covered with my gopro but the file came out corrupt. It is hard to do during the tournament when I have a co angler as well

[@LakeForkGuy]

It is actually the older BassKing pattern, they may have stopped carrying it. I like the white too.

[@drumr4life509]

cool vid, def like the tips for those tournament practice days. Ive always wrestled between wanting to find a pattern but not beating the fish up in the process.

[@LakeForkGuy]

It's a sneaky little rig for sure. I talk about it during the wrap up of the SPRING BASS FISHING FOR LARGEMOUTH AND SMALLMOUTH video I did on May 21st

[@godslayer7771]

Absolutely love the tournament videos! I hope you keep making them.

[@emptyn0rproductions]

I love these videos man they give great insight keep it up and good luck at the next tournament, tight lines Justin!

[@LakeForkGuy]

Save me a few more fish for the next time I come up there! Maybe I will do better in the tournaments!

[@hagarengela8312]

Love your vids, just purchased my first bass boat, going to start doing tournaments. cheers all the way from South Africa

[@ricklovall6430]

Great tip on finesse fishing the break-line. Thanks

[@sfouty17]

Thanks Justin, your videos are awesome! Very informative and inspirational. Keep up the amazing work!

[@LakeForkGuy]

I fill put that one into the jar of ideas. Thanks!

[@GopherHayes]

this is a great series hope you keep doing these vids.

[@LakeForkGuy]

Yes sir

[@GIBSON-KNIVES]

Great video man Thanks for sharing.

[@LakeForkGuy]

For everyone wondering about the weird fish I caught in this video, it was a herring. A BIG herring that ate my wacky rig!

[@LakeForkGuy]

Cheers!

[@bigtrollin24]

This dude is so chill I want to see him take a tropy home! And on a side note I wish I had a boat....

[@taylorparker7371]

This is my home lake I caught a 6.64 last Friday it's a tough lake there is a tournament every day btw LakeForkGuy love the videos man you should come back to this lake and make a video on how to pattern bass here it's super difficult to do here

[@LakeForkGuy]

It was a herring

[@alexlargemouthbass]

This is where I'm from! I live in Knoxville and I love this lake!

[@NikeHusker4]

Love the tournament videos!

[@LakeForkGuy]

Tellico Fort Loudoun

[@LakeForkGuy]

Sold it. I will probably go through a lot of boats in my lifetime!

[@rfsxcomanchee5573]

Did you go up toward Concord or Louisville on the Loudon side? Just wandering because I catch a lot of big fish around there. Post spawn all the way thru summer pitching docks is key then I transition to square bills on points mainly but also deeper crank baits in pockets

[@TheRescue11]

+RFSx COMANCHEE Agreed!!! especially in Georges creek!!! some biggins live in there! Justin if you ever come back to this area hit us up..

[@capenelson1560]

I'm a local as well. If you come back give a shout and we might be able to help you out. Florida bass are now being stocked in Loudon. Going to be some monsters in there soon.

[@remingtondavis9998]

I love these type of videos please keep doing them. and we are going down for a tournament on stillhouse have you fished it? if so any help is appreciated.

[@LakeForkGuy]

I have 2, a lot of times I just use 1 though.

[@LakeForkGuy]

Just a few, not enough!

[@jegibson10]

Where did you get that neck cover? I saw your recent video, but I like the pattern on that one the most. Thanks!

[@mark1999kuba]

I love ur vids but since I live in Canada there isn't as much bass so the only thing I can do Is watch u!

[@bartnukem]

LOVE these videos!!

[@TroutAngler123]

Thanks, I always wonderd what bass tournaments were like,

[@alfredina1980]

great video, more like this please!

[@caseyfranks6026]

I like these tournament vids.

[@HaiTheGreat]

LakeForkGuy, you should do an onshore fishing video!

[@MrFishermen98]

Oh and quick Q/tip. When your pre- fishing tournaments have you considered taking your hooks out of your baits to reduce pressure on the fish?

[@LakeForkGuy]

It was a big herring. It ate my wacky rig!

[@DavidJ909]

You do a great job video editing. What software do you use ?

[@lbasedbruhl8618]

Could you do a video on skipping with a baitcaster I really need to learn to get up under those docks

[@egorney]

Oh wow this is my lake that i fish. I have fished off that boat ramp soooo many times.

[@tennesseebassin]

im local also and the biggest sack i had in a tournament on tellico is 15.96 this lake is tough!!!

[@jrfamily2119]

hey lake fork guy were did you get that wrist band i cant find it in any stores a little help would be nice

[@JohnnyJenkins]

With the gopro, how many batteries do you go through in a day of recording like that? lol

[@jordanellis1595]

was that a tarpon that u caught? or a big shad?

[@6relentless6]

why did you end up practicing along the houses and boat dock? i would guess not many fish would be there.

[@Iowalaw53]

Awesome video! Did you go back to running the legend?

[@bryceanderson9514]

What's the song at 7:55 ?

[@justinblairfishing8557]

That's my home lake lot of good fishing on both lakes

[@benjaminpendleton5807]

are you not allowed to video during the tournament or was it too much of a hassle to do? would have liked to see a little tournament action.

[@pathfinder2289]

I was wondering how much weight did u have at the end?

[@beaver5197561AH]

When was this tournament? Im a local guy there. lol

[@xDarkSanity]

I'm young, 15, and currently in highschool. I've been fishing pretty much my entire life, and fishing tournaments for a few years now with my father. I plan on going to a good college once i get out of highschool, and college fishing. Any advice?

[@derickgreenfield726]

Hey um i need some help and i cant think of anyone better than you to help. im 15 years old and i have a co-angler that is also 15 and i want to start bass fishing in tournaments but i have no clue how to. i live in maryland but i dont have any luck looking online for information. can you help me! please respond.

[@TheHookedUpFishing]

join a jr club thats the best start and learn as much as you can look around to make sure there are jr clubs in ur area go to a local tackle store and ask they should help ya

[@jacobsauerfishing505]

Hey bud, I'm 15 also, last year I was in you're situation, I wanted to start bass fishing tournaments, but didn't know how. So I went online and searched up jr. bass clubs in my area(Missouri), I found a jr. B.A.S.S club, joined it, fished the 7 tournaments and the state championship, I must say, I was more than happy, it was easier competing with kids around the same age as myself, and it was a good time all around, I was able to get in contact with some pros, and also learned a lot!

[@MrFishermen98]

Looks like the first fish had some sort of fungus. Probably from another anglers mishandling.

[@NorthernUSFishing]

no y would he do that,he wants to be able to tell how big the fish is plus what if its another fish thats not a bass hitting the lure!

[@teamdogfightfishing]

3:21 freshwater tarpon? Lol

[@ghxst0.o]

hey same kid who said "u inspire me" ummmm do you make some good money being a sponsored angler?….JW

[@LakeForkGuy]

You can, depending on how much you work for them. It's not easy though

[@ghxst0.o]

Lol I bet

[@ChuugyGolf]

and also then you would be able to catch fish... without hooks u cant land a fish very well....

[@FishingSC1]

shad

[@donovanvonbrendel9192]
