2019 Bassmaster Elite at Lake Fork 

wow craziest coincidence. I just clicked into a random point of this video and as I read your comment the guy said that.

Why not spread the rule about weighing the fish at the boat and then releasing them all but one. A lot less stress overall I betcha by golly wow! LOL

MLF

That makes the fish smarter just eat em

Sport.. You said that

lol sport

They do these at the end of the year.

Do it, today no excuses. Fishing withdrawal is real

It's called jealousy. If it's ok with the rules it's a catch and it pays the same.

Only if sight fishing.

Only if they're sight fishing and doing it intentionally

josh stewart agree with you dude, looked to me like he was trying to foul hook whatever.

They’re supposed to be released immediately in Texas. If he had put it in the livewell, he’d be getting a visit from a game warden lol

josh stewart when sight fishing and in California a fish hooked outside the mouth has to be released

Brandon Cobb made an assumption that it was a 5 before he hooked and landed the fish. That's why the guy in the background made the joke

Pretty much bass only, no bobber and catching catfish on worms😂

May 2-6, 2019

He threw a jerkbait on a point where fish were schooling on baitfish. That fish was hooked outside the mouth but not by way of visually sight fishing the bass. Which means the fish is ok to count.

Because if you go in the wrong cove you can get shot lol

I agree! I'm a tree hugger too btw. :-)

Um, you should never mention the words "Sandusky" and "boys" in the same sentence, just saying.

@@paxhumana2015 well try fishing in my river then, I'll bet you that can't catch 1 fish!

Facts!

Over 100 pounds in a 4 day event, 5 fish per day is huge. That’s an average of 5 pounds per fish. Very tough to do, so for an angler to win and dominate like Brandon Cobb did was impressive.

@@BassmasterOfficial I guess I just don’t get it. More power to em. It’s nice to see them so happy ❤️

It was a running joke in their boat. He knew it wasn't a 5

Only if u looking at except in California

@@jeremygilreath224 I don't understand your comment, can you rephrase?

The rules state that you can't intentionally snag or foul-hook a bass, keyword in that being intentionally. Jeremy is referring to snagging fish while sight fishing; "Mike Long".

@@jonk.4384 Is that the rule for all tournaments? For some reason i thought hooking outside the mouth even on accident meant it had to be thrown back. I always thought it was a bit unfair. Thanks for the info

Jon explained it right but in California if it hooked outside the mouth it's not legal

Its Lake Fork. Its Bass heaven.

Only in your eyes...pays the same.

It’s also not intentional, they’re swiping and missing. It’s extremely obvious that’s what’s happening but whatever

pull a fish out the water you caught it plain and simple

If a fish is accidentally snagged while fishing and not specifically looking at a fish it is considered a legal catch. Fish swiped at a lure, nothing intentional from Brandon Cobb.

Jonathan Nutt Doesn't mean it's intentional though

Learn the rules...it's legal if unintentional, and it pays the same.

The rules are the same for everyone else, play to win.

There will never be another KVD...but here comes Brandon Cobb!

Not one bit

That's actually a result of spawning. When they make their beds, often times they relate to a piece of structure. When they are waving their tails for a couple days consecutively and while gaurding the bed they actually rub themselves sore in relation to that cover.

@@bradgunn3411 Bed sores!

It's not very likely that your going to catch the same fish the 2 days in a row much less 3 days in a row man

@@heathfitzgerald363 I'm sorry you're not able to, but catching the same fish in it's home the next day is the easiest thing you can do with bass. During non-breeding season they don't move around much and they set up a territory

Lakes are different here in Louisiana Lakes like Toledo bend and darbonne which are my home lakes it's just about impossible to catch any fish the day after u catch them the first time

luster 5 this is cap

@@isaack4046 ???

Fber He’s not sight fishing and not intentionally doing it. It’s pretty clear it’s not intentional

Clay Pollock Because you qualify through the opens and when you’re there you work a normal job. The opens pay pretty damn well if you’re towards the top (which you’ve gotta be to ever qualify for the elites). Then the payouts at this level are way better than that even and you keep performing well. If you cash a check at every tournament you’ll be totally fine money wise

Did you not notice the shirts they were wearing? Probably 15 sponsors on them!

Yeah, because there's no such thing as a fishing tournament in Europe or Japan... Dipshit lol

Fair game if you don't do it intentionally. Obviously the bass was swiping at the lure to do that. It's different if sight fishing.

If a fish is snagged while fishing and not specifically looking at a fish it is considered a legal catch. Fish swiping at a lure, nothing intentional.
