Masters Tournament Fishing Footage (big brown at the end)

[Seth]

Here's some footage of our day on the water during the Masters tournament (well me anyways since my partner was fishing on the back deck most of the time and I only have the one GoPro mounted on the console and facing forward). I won't lie, we got caught up in the moment on the big brown and our potty mouths kicked in so I've done my best to filter out any cursing. I apologize if I missed any of the really bad words. My buddies big brown is at the end. He's on the back deck on the hook set, but comes to the front shortly after to chase the fish down. Towards the end he has to run back to the rear deck again so you don't see the net job.

Nice job Seth.

Great Job Seth! Your buddy caught a great brown trout! I get that he was in the back most of the time. So who was the guy in the front of the boat? I couldn't tell who that was since there wasn't the "yellow" shirt ! Looks like you had a pretty decent jig bite going. Did you state in Phil's thread that this was the first time you buddy fished Taney? That's a heck of a fish if it was his first outing on that lake.

That is correct. He probably had a dozen trout to his name before he caught that brown. I've caught thousands and my best is only 19.5"!

Great to meet you Seth. Hope you and your dad can make the RAW tournament in a couple weeks.

[Seth]

The same to you @Gatorjet. I mentioned it to dad and he was definitely interested. He is self employed and a land lord so as long as something doesn't come up that weekend, I look for us to be back down there. We won't know for sure until a day or two before the tournament though.

Just got around to watching your vid today Seth...  Thanks for putting that together .  Got the blood pumping just watching you guys with that brown.  Some nice jig action too.  Always enjoy watching others methods for jigging.

I just watch Phil's jig videos and try to imitate him. Nothing more to it. I'm sure him and Duane would fish circles around me with a jig, but I manage to catch a few at least. The number of fish I miss is crazy though!

I've been lucky enough to watch them both work.  I am a fast jigging kind of guy and bounce to a faster rhythm.  I find I pick up more fish on the bounce this way with a soft hook up before I really set the hook on them.  Still working on the line watching slow jig retrieve, and I too still miss a ton of fish...
