    Also the way the weigh master was throwing those fish was blasphemous. He should be fired. Hoping for quick recovery Wizard!

      Seeing how these fish are handled is why I like the MLF style tournaments better, I know it will be almost impossible for smaller tournys to adopt that style but dang don't got to throw them around like that.

    Why the BS title? Your content is good enough that you don't need to make up crap titles. It really turns me off to your channel as you seem to feel the need to use deception to draw attention to your videos. You are an excellent fisherman and again your content is good enough you don't need to lie.

  • @samgaither793
    @samgaither793 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Usualy for it to count as a spot it has to be a true spot. Not a hybrid as it counts as a smallmouth and needs to be 18in.

      If your bag limits allow for more than one small mouth then I would suggest it would be easier on the weigh master to call them small mouths.

    @dank8865 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    "It's not his call." Says the weighmaster regarding the tourney director. The best part was when he sullenly shuffles off to get the director cuz he knows his word don't mean crap next to the director's. 😁 Def need more tourney vid pleez. 👍

    Yes please fish more tournaments at different lakes in Texas and if your really filling like that’s the thang for y’all to do please please come fish the Thursday nighter tournament on Canyon lake Texas . There are between 40 to 60 teams most nights. This lake is not your typical south Texas lake most of the time 12 lbs to15 lbs win but have had one 20+lbs win this year and a few in that 20lbs in the past . Clear deep water lake . I would love to see you show me and others just what y’all can do out here .

    On my home water we have a 14" small mouth limit. I landed a 13.5" mean mouth and they penalized me. Wasn't in contention to win but still!! Same deal though long bars & a tongue patch but in there defense it was super dark almost like a Florida strain

We never caught a fish under 4lbs doing that. To bad we were just fishing and not in a tournament

  • @cdeanfish9645
    @cdeanfish9645 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tournament directors call for sure but I’m Tennessee native and a mean mouth by twra rules counts as a smallmouth!! But you did right by messaging the tournament director and going by what he said. I had a similar situation on watts bar last year and could not keep it bc it wasn’t 18 inches. Anyhow excellent finish on a tough lake!!

  • @mac11double
    @mac11double 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey man not tryna tell ya one way or the other and the tournament director obviously made a call, but on norfork and bull shoals, where I live, mean mouth go by the same length limit as smallmouth. Just throwing this out there, as here you classified it as a spot. This is important because on my lakes smallmouth/largemouth have to be 15 inches while spots only have to be 12

  • @txrcnoob
    @txrcnoob 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly I kind of feel bad for zark. Think about it everybody wants to catch a fish like that 16lb bass. But after you do well now in order to experience the PB high you gotta pretty much catch a state record. Or go to California. I think I would be striper fishing after a catch like that.

  • @masonparis8423

Just tossing them in there like they were dead!!
