SHOCKING Fishing Tournament Win || The Only Jon Boat vs Bass Boats In Fishing Tournament

Bass Bandits Of Virginia - bit.ly/bassbanditsva
Got invited to fish a derby with the Bass Bandits of VA on Chesdin last week. Had a great time, it was a very welcoming club and I look forward to fishing with them more in the future.
The Jon boat I’m currently running is a Weldbilt 1548 custom built by Matt Downs of Tricked Tins. For more info on the boat, or if you have interest in a build yourself - the links below are where you can contact Matt.

Your jon boat tourney videos are addictive to watch

[@rodconner9079]

Oh yeah!!! 3 in the boat and took the prize ... with "big" fish. Dude, that is awesome .... and solo even. Love it!!! Be Safe

[@peytonpowroznik3105]

Saw that Lawson has been getting into bass tournaments recently. Would be dope to see you two fish a tournament together! Awesome catch!

[@maddgoatee9708]

Congratulations. From what I could see you were try your best. You caught 3 healthy bass for the win. Wow, 2nd place guy caught 20 keepers that's amazing.

[@jerrygirdner2753]

Congrats on the win. Nothing like getting to fish and catching a few and not think you have a shot at anything and end up winning big fish and 1st place. Done it myself a couple times. Stay safe out there on and off the water. Semper Fi from an old Marine

[@tomcampbell3740]

You say lucky I say good decisions. CONGRATS Matt!

[@jasoncarr5867]

First time fishing with the group and you win 1st place and big fish talk about a flex 💪😂

Welcome back! Thanks for finding me 😎

[@meatmanfishing4094]

Awesome man! Just proof that quality is better than quantity

[@SBFishing]

Agreed. Always happy to catch 1 big one over a few small fish.

[@jeremygilreath224]

[@SBFishing]

Fun and lucky day!

[@kodawitdasoda_]

Good shit man 💪

[@GaryAnderson87]

Chesdin is definitely one of my favorite lakes. It's tough but it has tons of bigs in it

[@EricF2030]

Congratulations!

[@joshcabral5858]

Great job either way 👍

[@chipsterblack7950]

Congratulations bro

[@ronwatts518]

Great job.

[@alltree78]

Thats awesome man, chesdin is a tough fishery loaded with hogs. Tournements weekly.

[@gregunderwood5566]

I went out there a month ago and caught my first ever 30lb sack 7.8 was my biggest and the smallest was a 5.2 out of 5 but congratulations man

[@finncook3939]

That big fish you caught today tho 👀

[@SBFishing]

😎😎😎😎

[@thatmouththo286]

Nice win. Nothing luck about that.

[@kurts34]

great vid!

[@davidpowell5111]

Nice job that boat is fire....crankbait..id threw a crankbait but hey you won I watched.

[@larryhensley6651]

Great job. What was the ramp that you put in for that tournament?

[@be643]

Congrats

[@basschaser9356]

Congratulations, if you had a limit you would bust 16-17 lb . Can’t wait for tournament season to start here in mn

[@sjfarish]

Anybody deserves to win it's you !

[@brianrobinson9979]

Damn! If you had caught those 2 other bigs you would have DESTROYED! everyone else 😨👍

[@honda55x]

Been following you for years and I have to say, you're one of the best to watch. Keep it up, man!!

[@spencerstrong4832]

Nice Matt! Right bite is often the difference. How has your EVA foam deck been holding up in your opinion? After having boats with carpet and this one with foam do you have a strong preference?

[@AkaSnipenSanta]

Curious about this also!

[@SBFishing]

I definitely prefer the EVA foam > carpet mainly because of how fast it dries and how comfortable it is. That being said, fresh carpet is pretty sweet too...but I don't think I'll have another boat with carpet anytime soon.

[@davidzellers3537]

Sometimes not knowing a body of water very well helps a lot. When u know a body of water you seem to go to places you’ve caught fish b4 and not finding new fish

[@stacenhartland9777]

Wwwwow! Mashed it with 3 fish, way go!

[@uproutdoors7070]

I love Paca craws!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Matt: On your last video I said, "You keep beating the water to a froth and you'll get your day in the tourney's." I didn't know that I was a prophet!. Congrats on the win and big fish. That had to feel great. Now, you keep beating the water to a froth and you'll get your big muskie." (Let's see if I can prophetize again)

[@BayouFishingBengal]

Awesome win brother, just wanted to add a few things! First never use the word lucky when you were blessed also your a very skilled bass fisherman that you don't give yourself no where near enough credit for Matt! And lastly, I not only promise but guarantee that your no donkey when you where the solo boat contestant that spanked all the other double boat contestants asses out there! Their the ones who looked and felt like donkeys because they fished against the hammer brother! #BIGBASSENERGY#

[@kingsfishing2980]

Good shit bro

[@SBFishing]

Thanks dude!

[@zakkrick]

Killer 3 fish and you won too. We went on a California delta bass tournament and caught no fish. You can catch bass on your days off of work but on the day of the tournament, you can’t catch a break

[@Mjc103]

Get you an ultrex buddy! hell, they might even sponsor you!
