Let's Break Down Smith Lake! FLW Tour Practice

It's tournament time again! I've been looking forward to this tournament all year. Smith Lake is a premium spotted bass fishery. During the last 4-5 years my home lake has become one of the best Spotted lakes in my region. I'm hoping that I can use some of my prior knowledge from fishing lake Hartwell here.
Make sure you guys tune in for the game time video coming up next from Smith Lake that includes all of the action from the tournament and the details on how I caught all of my fish.

I believe good things are coming for you this season in the FLW , that top 30 cut at Cumberland is the just the beginning . Good luck this season . Maybe I'll get to meet ya when you come to my home lake in a few weeks in the ky and barley lake stop on the tour .

[@geraldfiggins8295]

I love that you love what you do so much. I'm sure the tour schedule can be gruesome, but you always show us a "real" good time. Keep up the great work B, preshatcha!

Gerald Figgins who could fish for a living and not be happy 😂

Brian Latimer tru dat dog tru dat!!

The lake level was way above normal. There is virtually no flooded timber on Lewis Smith and not that many areas where the trees overhang the lake like you found. Those were tough conditions and you still found fish. Way to go. Smith also has lots of huge hybrid striped bass. When there hasn’t been a lot of rain and boat traffic, the lake gets incredibly clear.

"Watch out Cody Meyer." Love it!

Great video BLat! Looking forward to the next one!

[@collinoliver7049]

Awesome video man. I learn so much from these tournament practice videos. Legend. Man I'd love to see the look on some of their faces when you're on that stage

[@takayama1638]

Ok Brian, I'm studying how to fish Smith Lake. I'll be a co angler at this month's bass master open. Heheheheheeee, 70 year old, second time in my life to be in a tournament. But hey, even with all my health problems, Dagnabbedit if I cain't about keep up with them whippersnappers... Never been to Smith Lake. I try... It's one year later, this tournament starts April 25th, couple of weeks, and I have no time to practice. But, since I be with a pro anyway, reckon practice not so important for me. I just fish from back, stay out of his way and see what I can do.

Keep up the good and enjoyed the tip about the fluke on a ned rig.

[@GEOPUZZLE]

I'm in Indiana and am64 yo. I haven't been a lifelong angler, kinda on and off again. I have started fishing a few local club tournaments this past year. If you ever offer a contest/drawing to fish with you I am definitely going to enter. I'm sure I could learn so much!

[@sccharmed]

love this .... so proud of you ... I remember you being the little one tagging along with your DAD ... Jimmy taught you well. and all those lollipops I gave you from the bank lol

[@richardlovett5187]

Hey brother good luck on Smith lake I hope you win the hole thing.

[@bassintime6879]

My home lake, been waiting for your upload!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Bassin time right on

[@lockedonbass9336]

It’s amazing what the Ned rig will pull up i’ll pull up monster with it but at the same time you got it weed out the little ones to get the Biggins

[@twofootzone]

At 6:10 you dropped down on some from watching that sonar. I do that all the time now since you and I did the development day. I don't always catch 1 or 2, but i ain't gonna pass them by either. I keep that Streak tied on every trip. Might not even be bass, but i gotta drop it regardless. Thanks for the time you spend doing the vids.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

twofootzone anytime it’s clear water you have to man. And especially if you’re on a lake with smallies or spotted bass. Glad it helped you some!!!

[@gregjohnson6799]

Best wishes, brother. I hope you catch some JAINTS!

[@acnjshink]

B.Lat, Almost showtime time to get on them

[@BigRigOutdoors]

B. If it's not too much trouble could you list some of the rods your using for some of the different techniques your doing in your videos. I'm new to favorite rods and unsure what rods I want to order, because I've heard the favorite rods are on the light side for the power rating.

[@therealfreekshow]

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Bradley Crowe you feel bad for me for what?

[@wileysanders6055]

Go brian

[@gamesofcontent]

Lol 4 ft vis is clear? My lake is 20-30ft vis. Lake Mohave.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

i Bee Amazin that’s not clear

[@gamesofcontent]

Brian Latimer oh. I rewatched the clip. You said it's a "clearer" lake. I assumed you meant 4ft of viability was clear. What is the clearest lake you have ever fished? 30ft viability is the best I have ever seen.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

clear is always relative to the region my man.

[@deanvincent2102]

Ned rig bud. Trust me you have to do it

[@deanvincent2102]

Loving you videos by the way really want to see you win

[@BrianLatimerFishing]
