Terry here, and yes Matt is all that and more! Matt forgot or is so dang humble he forgot to mention in the video a couple of things. One - when we got to the dock, he cut that chatter bait off his rod and handed it to me. I not only had the one he loaned me during the day, but I now had a backup in case I lost it on day three. Two - that bag of trailer baits in the video we keep tapping... he gave it to me for day three. There were about 10 baits in the bag. And yes, on day three I only weighed 4 fish, but 2 of them came on that chatter bait and a 3rd one that did not strike followed it to the boat. I been fishing MLF since 2000 and had many boaters tell me a direction to cast, loan me a bait or give some advice on retrieve rates etc. but never, I say NEVER, has a boater handed me the rod and reel he was using to make a cast at actively feeding fish. Dare I say that will never happen again for me. In the video I said something like "...luck of the draw..." but for sure I was the lucky one. At the end of the day, I offered him some gas money for all the driving around we did but he refused it and I had to leave it in the console of the boat, or I would have felt bad because that's what I do for every boater I fish with.
Clicked faster than a Jackhammer blade starts thumping! I finished 10th at my Regional on Lake Norman, a disappointment in my eyes. GREAT boater as usual!!!!!
Dude you are awesome for putting your co angler on the fish, and making sure he had a chance to compete!!! Dude that says everything about you! You are a good person!!!! I have never seen any other boater make sure the co angler was able to succeed
So proud to call Terry my dad! And he was so lucky to have an awesome boater from you that day Matt. I heard so many amazing stories and it is awesome to get to see it. Thank you for making these videos and being a great person in the sport!
Matt been following the channel for a few years and I love how you are willing to teach something new to us the viewers or the co-anglers in the boat. This is awesome content and I love to see it! Good job on the tourny too!!
Wow Matt, what a treat to watch you put your Co-Angler on the bite. I found you through Geoffrey in the videos you guys shot when he was there. I’ve been following you ever since. I knew you were a squared away dude if Geoff came to stay and fish with you. He doesn’t do that with just anyone. I’m so lucky, I live less than a mile from The Hook Up tackle. You can’t help but become a better fisherman around a group of guys like the ones Ben Koller has assembled there at the hook up. I really enjoy it. But after a year and a half I’ve still never met Geoff. I can’t wait to tho. He is to me what Mike Tyson is to boxers lol. I’m a swimbait only guy so he’s the shit in my world. I’ve learned so much from watching him and now I learned a good way to work a chatter bait from you today. I’ve got so much respect for you and the unselfishness you showed by limiting out your Co. that’s so fricken cool and fish karma will surely reward you when you least expect it. Take care and tight lines brotha.
Man that was the coolest to see you as a boater helping out the Co so much. You help give anglers a great name and reputation. That ls awesome.... I know you just had Mr.Arizona swimbaiter on but would like to see maybe a vid on your fav WINTER swimbaits.
Whoop, whoop!!!!!!! ❤ I just got to say that I’m glad I can get some service to be able to watch the best RU-vid Fishing Videos. Mr. SBFISHINGTV I love the channel man and I have WIFI now…… Yes I am coming up in the world out here in the middle of nowhere on Wouldn’t You Like Know Rd. 😂 can’t wait to watch the FHBC Classic Video’s way to go ⚒️ Ace and Matt great guy’s “jigs all day” 😶🌫️
A friend of mine was leading the FLW on Beaver lake as a Co after day 1....this was back when the Cos were fishing for 40 grand....day 2 he draws the typical pro you always hear about...selfish...dont give a sh-t about his Co...and he zeroed finishing 10th.....the reason I bring this up it truly is the luck of the draw as a Coangler. What you did for Terry I dont think ive ever seen done ....and prob never will again. Youre a good dude....that was cool as cool gets....hats off to you man
Dude! This was an awesome video! Kudos to you for not only worrying about your partner, but actually helping him. You don't see that a lot in this tournament trail and their are few guys out there willing to help the co-angler, but you went above and beyond. best of luck to you in the upcoming season!
Question nothing to do with the video but I Ben going back and forth on a reel choice for next season between tattula and dc curado witch would u choose if u could only choose one
Very nice video and you did an awesome thing helping your co-angler! Not many would do that. Enjoyed watching as always! Keep up the good work and I wish you success! Thanks!
Best thing I could’ve done. I would’ve needed about 18lbs to cash a check…possible…but my odds of being able to help terry get a limit and fish day 3 were astronomically higher.
Hands down the best I've ever seen anyone treat their co-angler. You're awesome buddy. Most nose their selves into the spot and be pissed if the co throws that direction
