@ 16:00 that was a boat smack not a flip. Glad to see I'm not the only one who smacks fish of everything.

People who love fishing are really good people

[@larryleeds5927]

Enjoyed the two videos on your tournament. Got to meet Charlie about a month ago really enjoyed the visit we had. Make them when you can I’ll sure watch them

[@briantucker7384]

Love it!!! Always love watching you fish and I learn every time. Never seen anyone catch “the whole damn family” before.😂😂

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Awesome mike good tourney Charlie is a great guy I know yall had fun out there can't win them all 👍

[@garyspear7043]

Mike, Thank you for taking us through your preparation and day of tournament. Lots to learn on technique , equipment, and working together. But best of all is the fun and fellowship you share! Well done!

[@gvsoutdoors2673]

I'll try a tournament some day...too big of an imposition on me to stop fishing for now haha

[@johnhanley8708]

Thanks for the video Mike

[@larryd.collins7996]

Great video...love the fishing day you had.. you were working hard.. thanks.

[@johnqueen9162]

Do you plan on doing a lake breakdown video? I would love to know why you guys were in that area to start with? I understand most go away from a dam or up river, was there a Chanel close by? Thanks man, as always awesome videos!!

[@jonstokes3122]

Way to go guys! Great video! Thanks for sharing your tournament day with us!

[@richardplace4856]

As always, thanks for the video Mike.

[@jimchurchilloutdooradventu9851]

Great video and fun to watch.. 👍👍

[@phillipriggins3520]

Good job

[@RickSettle]

Mike, it seems to me that a lot of the times you''re weighing the clamp on the scale. Sometimes you zero the scale while holding the fish up with the clamp already in its mouth.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

I am not zeroing the scale at those times. The beep is me entering the weight. I cut out a lot of video of me zeroing the scale to save time.

[@justbfrank1]

What lb test line were you using?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

10 lb. K-9 braid

[@larrygriffen2887]

Where do you buy your minnows. I was at Bucksaw this past Monday and all they had were the orange colored minnows. I don't think they work as well. Thanks

[@MikeBakerVideos]

We get a lot of our minnows straight from Goldfish Hatchery. In the area, go to Cody's Bait and Tackle.

[@krappiekrane2658]

Mike, thanks for sharing the experience with us. Do y’all tie the braid main line to the jighead or use a leader of mono or fluorocarbon?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

We were tying directly during the tournament. If I go to a real small bait when they are finicky, I will use a fluro or mono leader and weight above it.

[@radtech6117]

Mike would you mind sharing the type scale you use? I would like to find one like that.

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Rapala Touch Screen

[@radtech6117]

@@MikeBakerVideos Thank you for sharing sir....love your videos by the way!

[@JIgginCrappie]

Another great Video mike. When your in a tournament like that can you, keep your 15 each limit or can you only keep the 7 best? Could you 2 have kept 30 fish and weighed in the best 7?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

In that tournament we could have. Depends on the tournament rules. However, harder to keep 7 fish alive when you have 30 in the box. We just keep 8 in case one dies.

[@scottjordon]

Hey Mike, what kind of rod and reel is Charlie using? Thanks for the Tournament Tour buddy!!

[@MikeBakerVideos]

B & M Diamond series.

[@scottjordon]

@@MikeBakerVideos must be a 14’ footer?

[@scottjordon]

What kind of spinning reel does he have on it I wonder?

[@daveshadwick3019]

How do you have your minnow bucket hooked up in the boat for aeration ?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

I have a double bubbler hooked up to the battery in the back of the boat with air hoses running to the middle and front of the boat.

[@KYTVIDEO]

Thanks for sharing. What is the reason for not cranking the fish up?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Not sure what you mean.

[@KYTVIDEO]

@@MikeBakerVideos I meant to say reel it up some.

[@ronaldstover636]

mike do you guys use live scope in your tournaments and isn't this kind of cheating in your tournaments and takes away the fishing with not knowing i do use a spot lock but not live scope???? i feel like that is cheating a little bit!! thanks

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Don't know why you think it is cheating. I guarantee you everyone in the tournament was using it.
