Searching for Smallmouth Bass in Northern Ontario!

My first competitive angling of the year! Had a blast going head to head against tournament champ Jamie Bruce. We picked a new lake neither of us had been to before. The goal was simple, five longest Smallmouth Bass is the winner. Great times fishing in Sunset Country, Ontario.

So is it like an unwritten rule that you have to run an 18 ft tiller with a 90 horse if you're Canadian??

[@roccojc8071]

YES.

[@ryanbuchanan5429]

Perfect boat and motor size for different bodies of water

[@TravisInCanada1]

If you make KZbin videos yes it makes for the best platform given there are no obstructions with it being a wide open floor. But the remaining 90% of people buy one because they like it or they want to fit in with the cool kids.

[@victorsimonsen921]

thanks for the little fish finder tip love the zman plastics.

[@RevampedOutdoors]

Great idea and awesome video, the scenery of that lake looks amazing.

[@jonfuruseth6628]

Nice job. That was fun to watch!

[@FJohnson001]

Covid challenge idea: A tourney to catch as many species as you can in a day.

[@aydanwaters8581]

Try 39 hours

[@brent338]

Shallows can be volatile...

[@cjherriman7226]

Man I really miss tournament fishing!! Cool video and very informative.

[@aaronotto7010]

Honest and informative. Nicely done. Fish, the ultimate barometer of Karma. You earned it today.

[@rippinlips235]

[@ethanduggan8136]

Love the video Jay. Was wondering if you could do a little tutorial on how you set up the fish finder on your kayak? Transducer and battery set up

[@andydavis9816]

I just fished a CNWT walleye tournament this past weekend, finished 15th out of 37, first time fishing the lake and no pre fishing.

[@scarpadog155]

that little salt n pepper Zan swimmer is extraordinarily useful.

[@unclefinn4215]

Throwing a jerkbait on a spinning set up is so much fun!

[@Dreqsa]

[@sobifishing]

[@milesulschmid2819]

You never know when a new tip will pop up

[@robertbauters]

What is the best app for online tournies? I'm here in Wisconsin, and I'm just getting into the competition scene. Appreciate any recommendations/suggestions!

[@ZackBrownsOutdoorAdventures]

Would you consider yourself a big bass guy?

[@OldMinnowBoy]

I'm setting up a GoFundMe for Jay to get a new pair of sweatpants. Who's in?
