Join me on an exhilarating adventure as I celebrate a major milestone: winning my first fishing tournament on the legendary Lake Guntersville! This incredible journey was filled with exciting moments and strategic angling, where I used a variety of lures to outsmart the bass and secure the win.
In this video, I’ll take you through the entire tournament experience, from preparation to the final catch. Discover the unique tactics and techniques that helped me succeed, including the use of a Deps Sakamata Shad fluke, a soft plastic creature bait, and a Texas rig worm on a Carolina rig. Each lure played a crucial role in adapting to the changing conditions and targeting those elusive big bass.
Uncover the secrets of fishing in one of the most renowned bass lakes in the world. From understanding fish behavior to navigating the waters, I’ll share all the insights that contributed to my win.

Good stuff man. I've used those big fluke style baits on a blank chatterbait head and had a lot of success, ever try that? Keep the good footage coming, I enjoy all the in depth videos you put out.
Congrats!!! Guntersville is only a couple hours away from me, so the conditions are similar and what you are throwing should work where I'm at. You are my go-to person for great fishing advice and strategy. Keep up the great work. Let me know if you ever plan to fish West Point Lake in GA, I'd love to meet in person.
Mikey won a tournament! What! He's moving onto the MLF, Bass Open, or Elites. Just kidding around with you. Congrats! Good job. Where has swim suit girl been?
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Well done, Mikey!

Congrats on the 🏆 Mikey! It's all in the shoe's bro.😅 The 5 inch flex worms work too. Just hard to find them.
Congrats Mikey. You underrate yourself way too much, but I'm glad you stay out of the tournament scene nonetheless.
Gongrats dude that is awesome
Hell yea congrats bro!
Congrats Mike, I know you work hard at this. You deserve this WIN!

Congratulations Mike all your hard work and years on the lake paid off
Rock on Mike!
Great job Mikey. It’s fun to work on something for along time and have it come together your way. Great job. I had something similar happen earlier this summer and that put me in the west coast championship at clear lake I leave tomorrow (kayak ). Keep up the positive attitude and the hard work.
Congrats Mikey.😊
Awsome buddy 👍
Great Mike! Way to go!❤️
Hey Mikey. Have you thought about using the 6th Sense line thru swimbait head with the Sakamatashad? That might help prevent bass from coming off because of the bait's mass. Just a thought that there's some potential there as well as helping to increase the durability of it so it's not getting so torn up as well as increase landing ratio instead of using a standard jighead. What are your thoughts on it?
You changed my grass game about seven years ago after being one of your early subs .Love it now ! Thanks man 🙏Congrats on the victory ,poor guys never had a chance 🎣
congratulations👍
Wins don't come easy, so congratulations! It takes work and perseverance. I've been watching your videos for a while now and you always give great info…on that note, stay humble and best to you in the future. Looking forward to the next video. Congrats again!

Congrats, first of many I believe.
The 4 inch and 5inch i go with a light or medium lightbut those heavy weight dongs i throw on a med/heavy, but it’s more of a medium plus. That plastic is almost an ounce, but if it works don’t fix it. Congrats on the win dude!
