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.
@@marvaslater2283 DUDE! That is insane! No wonder they had a hard time telling if it was a spot or small mouth! Thanks for the video, very informative!
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.
I've been having annoying gopro issues lately too. I'd probably think about switching brands if anyone else had comparable stabilization. Sucks you weren't able to get those catches on camera though.
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
"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. 👍
I was watching this video when FedEx came to the door with my new WaterLand Prescription Glasses!!! I love um already!!! Can't wait to hit the water! Happy Fishing! Thanks for the great product!
Man you were out in my neck of the woods.. they’ve lowered the water out here more times then i can count here lately. Rainy and sunny and sometimes freezing the day before. Welcome to Tennessee where you can get all the seasons in a couple of days. Great video
Here in TN I had a similar incident happen. I checked with TWRA and according to them a Meanmouth which is a hybrid from Spotted and Smallmouth Bass is technically a Smallmouth. It will have a patch along with the spots and stripes.
Bahahaha!! Yes sir.. It is a Spot!!!! Awesome video Guys! Love these tournament videos!! Pleeeeeease keep them coming!! Thoughts and prayers for the Zark Man !!! You guys Rock‼️🎣
Wish you would've hollered at me brother. I could've told you and Zark where to go with the way they've been raising and lowering Chick lately. Not far from Dayton boat dock. Still done well and dang good sized spotted!
Great job y'all. Mr Randy is such a nice guy. Always enjoy having him as TD at the High School events my daughter fishes. Keep it up man. Can't wait till you make a run at the elites. 😉
Love the Tournaments Ben! Hope you get your cameras sorted and that doesn’t happen again 😢, it was a pretty sucky that we missed most of the action! Buckle up Zark, hoping the heal time is short and sweet for ya Bud👌🏽👍🏽! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Definitely got lucky there! Interesting it was counted as a spot, because I am pretty sure TWRA counts meanmouths as smallmouth as far as regulations go.
Woo! That was some master-click-baiter stuff right there....I'd of watched it if the title was "Ultra-rare fish kicks a solid finish"..... but you gotta do what you gotta do....
We’ve caught big BIG large heads at that same dam on deep rock piles on swim baits. We had to make long casts and let em sink then slow roll em over and close beside the rock piles and the bite wasn’t on fire but they were big when they bit. We never caught a fish under 4lbs doing that. To bad we were just fishing and not in a tournament
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!!
Absolutely more tourneys,I think you should fish as many as u can,your were born to fish tourneys and could go far with it,I can tell its your true passion,swing for the fences brother👊
Hope the wizard heals up quickly and gets back out there with you for more tournaments!!! I was surprised how the weight master was so sure it was a smallie and I don't know but you would figure he might want to be a little more gentle putting the fish in the bags? Just tossing them in there like they were dead!!
Come on bro. No one wants to see any fishing tournament if they don't let Slaw out there with the good video... Good vibes for Zark though (bet he doesn't need it).
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 .
Man sometimes those spot and smallmouth and the mean mouth mixed makes it interesting at weigh ins but I’m glad it was up to the man and Randy cleared you that was great 👍
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
Also the way the weigh master was throwing those fish was blasphemous. He should be fired. Hoping for quick recovery Wizard!
that guy was a dick!!
Yes. He is a piece of shit for that. I would have told him to stop that.
Yeah, i couldnt believe he was doing that
Seemed like quite the twat I agree
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.
SOLID Finish out there man!! It was fairly easy to tell that was a spotted bass as well
The weighmaster was acting like people were bothering him
“I’m telling you that’s not a spot”
Ends up being a spot
Has nothing to say..
Stop hating on that guy when you watch this video it will give you a different view on things th-cam.com/video/ub82Xb1C8os/w-d-xo.html
@@marvaslater2283 thats insane. Valid point though
@@marvaslater2283 valid points...🔥
@@marvaslater2283 DUDE! That is insane! No wonder they had a hard time telling if it was a spot or small mouth! Thanks for the video, very informative!
I had some brown spot in my jocks and it was confusing, was it diarrhoea or was it seminal fluid leakage from the night before mixed with faeces.
I would’ve been so mad if the guy gave you the DQ when you already confirmed it being a spot. Great job at the tourney!
Just landed a 4lb largemouth 5 mins ago on a Mvmt 80x in bluegill pattern.
Noice👍
Keep doing tournaments. I found your channel specifically search for tournament videos and you are the best one doing it. Keep up the good work
Check Out Scott Martin. His vids are great.
Question...my brothers and I are going to Lake Chickmunga in Tennessee...where is the best place to go fishing.and also cabins with boat docks...

Definitely more tournaments man yall killed it that’s not a bad finish you will get the next one
So, per the title, at what point did you get disqualified? Please stop with these bs titles. Be straight up.
The answer is you didn't get disqualified. Right?
Thanks again for the flats man. Weighed in every fish but 1 on the final day with them.
Better luck next tournament, Nice video ,prayers for buddy , fast recovery see y'all 💪 next vid...

He didn't trust you. He was adamant it wasn't what you said..
Welp that's guys confidence that it wasn't a spot made him look real dumb 🤷♂️
It looked to me like he was right but the tournament director already told Ben it was a spot so he stuck to his guns to avoid the drama.
Right

You should see Ohio's weather
Kentucky as well I've watched this fish move up then go back deep 5 times already
@@Not_ur_typical_millennial yeah we keep getting up to high 60s and then it plummets back down to the 50s middle range.

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.
Awsome video!! How do I get started in tournaments?
Question? When you're on the boat close to banks or peers, is it the same if you were to be fishing on land Within the same areas? Just asking
Let Cole fill the second seat in tourneys and let Zark do some filming. Those pain meds should make for some interesting footage.
Bahahaha!! Yes sir.. It is a Spot!!!!
Awesome video Guys! Love these tournament videos!! Pleeeeeease keep them coming!! Thoughts and prayers for the Zark Man !!! You guys Rock‼️🎣
Great day on The water. Glad to hear the wizard pulled through. Tough losing by three fish. We'll see you out there. Thank you
Awesome job! Definitely keep up with these tournament videos!
Do you choose the ads that play on your channel? Or is there a set of ads you allow to play?
Definite spot if there’s a “spot” patch on the tongue.
Glad Zarks on the mend! Don't worry about the camera's Bro. It happens. Catch you on the next one. Keep Rip'n Lips Brother! Right On!
Way to grind it out boy's.
Get better Zark. He needs you!! lol
Love your content. Thank you all!!
I'm digging the tournaments. Keep it coming.
Best wishes and feel better soon Wizard Man! Love the tourney “controversy”! 6th place not terrible.
More tournaments for sure! These are the best kind of videos
That hybrid is a "meanmouth". They count them as smallmouth in tournaments around here.
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.
Love the tournament stuff. Get well soon Zark. Glad the surgery went well.
Love the tourney vids. Keep them coming!
Glad to hear that the Zark is recovering nicely! Solid performance ! Way to just keep grinding.
Love the tourney videos! What kind of Swimbait was that?
Wish you would've hollered at me brother. I could've told you and Zark where to go with the way they've been raising and lowering Chick lately. Not far from Dayton boat dock. Still done well and dang good sized spotted!
Going to the fishing show today, wish I could have went yesterday to meet you!
Great job y'all. Mr Randy is such a nice guy. Always enjoy having him as TD at the High School events my daughter fishes. Keep it up man. Can't wait till you make a run at the elites. 😉
1st tournament ive seen enjoyed it a lot look forward to many more good luck in future competition's from us over here in the UK

Tourney videos always rule. Learn a lot watching how you guys switch it up especially when the main pattern goes away. Congrats on 6th place btw!!!!
Definitely more tournament videos, love em.

What river were you on?
You need to hit up sheldon reservoir! It's on the outskirts of Houston! Nothing but tanks their

Hoping for a speedy recovery for captain 16. Way to grind out a nice finish when the fishing was unpredictable
hey man what kind of neck surgery did your buddy have? cause im facing neck surgery and im just a little worried about mine.
good job you two sending prayers for a speedy recovery zark
Best Get well wishes for the Wizard of Zark! You will get them next time! Love the tournament Vids !
Love the tournament videos. Wishing the Wizard a speedy recovery.
Keep tournaments coming!!
Wish you would’ve shown that spot in detail
Awesome to see you in my area.

I was wondering where our SAF director was last week Bc he wasn’t at our tournament on hartwell 😂
Great news on Zark ,sorry he didn’t get his boat ! You guys will have more opportunities to win a boat , go get it done !
Come on bro. No one wants to see any fishing tournament if they don't let Slaw out there with the good video... Good vibes for Zark though (bet he doesn't need it).
gotta love the ol hybrids, I really want to try and keep one in a backyard pond or giant fish tank
Pond better have at least 12 feet of water...20 plus would be better for a hybrid

Where I’m at they measure mean mouths as largemouth. Have the be the same length. I’ve caught some bug mean mouth that didn’t make it bc of that
Yes, more Tournament Videos 👍👍.
Competition makes thing more interesting!
Best wishes zark! Hope you get better brother. Milliken your the man!!
How’s the Triton compared to your last boat?
Well wishes also !
Man sometimes those spot and smallmouth and the mean mouth mixed makes it interesting at weigh ins but I’m glad it was up to the man and Randy cleared you that was great 👍
Big Smallmouth annnnd a tournament!!!? These are the videos I’ve been waiting for!!
Solid Bag Guys!!! Great job!!
There's a pair of gravel pit ponds up by me that have those same hybrids, pretty fish
Good to hear about Zark. There will be no Academy Award unfortunately for the production.
Praying for the Wizard, ah there will be more tournaments. As long as everybody is healthy. Thank you for the footage.
Love the tournament series.
Pulled through to the top 10 let's go!
What kind of sunglasses was the zark wearing?
I thought they weren’t doing Co-Anglers anymore and do Marshall’s now? How is Zark allowed to fish? I could be mixing FLW rules
Hell yea more tournament videos!
Love the tournament videos
The weigh in guy definitely cried in the car. Anyway, Nice finish on the tourney! hope the wizard is back rippin soon!
"he gone cry in the car...."
Great finish keep up the good work
If you are ever in the hill country, you should hit me up. I live on lake LBJ and would be honored to fish with you guys.
Looks like a TrueBass or Basstrix. No divine swimbait hu?
Sup Ben. Hope he heels well. Hey 6th place isn't bad with conditions. Ty tc
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.
