Winter fishing tournaments can be very tough but we got on an awesome cold water smallmouth bite and managed to make a run at winning the fishing tournament despite the freezing temperatures! The main baits for winter smallmouth we used were blade baits, finesse swimbaits, and ned rigs.

Wow great vid…I just stumbled upon your channel and couldn't be happier lol…love the tournament vids and I'm a northeast guy so seeing the real grind of filling a limit is awesome in your vids…I know your Michigan but like hemisphere lol👍👍👊
Bill will you make a “everything you need to know about blade baits” video? I haven’t fished them much and would love to hear some tips from Blade Bait Bill!
What river is this? Detroit?
Nice man you guy caught them well.
Gave it hell boys love the channel I’m just starting out I liked and subscribed
Looks like you had some fun though!
Looks cold up there. Keep the tournament videos coming before the ice over
Sorry you guys did not get in the money. However , it looks like it was still a lot of fun!
Did you do the Jacob Wheeler “ding” cmon man
So close….but got to give it to ya for going out there and giving it your all !!! Still got a nice bag for this time of year.
Great to see you back in action! Better luck next time.
Nice to see other hardcore guys still fishing tournaments this late in the year. Where was that tournament at to have a weird slot limit?
25 boat tournament but you drew boat #35 huh!
"Getting deeper into winter" laughs in Arizonaian sitting in shorts. Good stuff.
Good job dude. I haven't given up either. Gonna keep fishing till Ice over…LOL
Winter hasn’t even started yet, what state is this
Looks like you guys caught more than us that day. We never culled once. Sorry not sorry we edged you out by half a pound. Love the videos.
Great video and fish but it looks way to cold for this Florida boy. Check out some of our WARM bass fishing videos. Keep on fishing
Awesome video bill!!!!! I always enjoy these tournament vids gives me a taste of what to expect whenever I start doing tournaments but awesome job👍👍👍 you should do a beginners video for people that wanna get into tournament fishing
Nice bass fishing. Thumbs up!
Nice work guys
Just a question how can there only be 20 to 25 boats but you drew number 35 lol
Nice to see you remembered the net 😅
Hey Bill, thanks for posting this video today. It helps me pass the time fighting COVID-19 pneumonia. It looked like a chilly day on the water, but you boys had some solid catches.
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbassin bill
Boom baby let's do it again just 1 more 3
Nice job guys…
Video on a Tuesday?! Hell yea I’ll take it 💪🏼
