Potomac River Bass Fishing Tournament - FLW Costa Series Day 2
Wow! I am sitting in 10th place after day 1 of the FLW Costa Series on the Potomac River. Trying to sneak into the top 10 cut and fish tomorrow! Going to need a decent bag of bass in order to do that. Based on my practice I am happy to be where I am at right now but I certainly have some work to do! Today is the day to get it done. Looking to get 5 bass in the boat quick and hopefully have enough to make the top 10 for tomorrow! It is going to be a fun day on the Potomac River, hopefully the bass cooperate for me today!
Travis Manson was born and raised where the giant Smallmouth Bass of the north live...WISCONSIN. He started fishing from the bank at a young age and spent most of his childhood with a rod in his hand. Travis is primarily a self-taught angler that is always learning and experiencing this amazing sport of fishing. He started out fishing for walleyes and fishing in local walleye tournaments, but then in his mid 20's, he caught the BASS BUG and has been hooked every since. He competed at the highest level in bass fishing on the Bassmaster Elite Series for a number of year until he ran out of $$ money $$. This led to a move across the country to the Northeast where he got things right again and is back on track, but now on his own terms. Perhaps he will make another run at the Elite Series if the opportunity allows. In the meantime, he is a fishing guide offering trips on the Chesapeake Bay for largemouth bass(year round), guided trips for smallmouth back in Wisconsin (during select times) and trophy smallmouth bass guided trips in Upstate New York (May-November) His Youtube Channel is named after his passion for the smallmouth bass and will be used as a platform for "how-to" videos, on the water instruction, crazy on and off the water topics and vlogs on the day in the life of a fishing addict!

In this video I head out on a windy day and decided to cover some water and check out a few areas. I decided to use a ZMan Jackhammer Chatterbait to cover water quickly and having a Zman TRD as a backup in case I see a fish swimming or I see some structure that looks like it could hold fish.

In this video I discuss the various types of tube inserts that you can use for fishing plastics tubes. With all the different types of tube inserts on the market today it can get a bit overwhelming. You have round ball, tear drop, goby heads......They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and I have pretty much used every type on the market. I narrow it down in this video on which ones I use the most and why. I also have Kevin Baker in the studio today and we will go over some of our favorite ways to make these baits ourselves. So we get some lead and start to heat up the pouring pot and start making tube head jigs.
I hope you enjoyed the video! What kind of tube head to use? How to pour your own baits!

In this video I talk about my experience fishing my first online bass fishing tournament. I recently was browsing through my Instagram @Smallmouthcrush and came across an advertisement promoting an online fishing tournament by a company called Lucky Go Fishing. It caught my attention and I have been going through some serious tournament withdrawals this year so it really seemed appealing. I looked into it a bit more and thought I better give this a try. I had only a few days to prepare and so I read the rules (or thought I read them clearly) and purchased a special ruler/measure that I can legally use in this event. I went out the day of the tournament and caught some good fish and fished super hard. I probably caught 40 plus fish and if it was a weigh type of tournament I would have been happy with the results of my bag that day. I wasn't sure how I would be able to compete but I held my own, despite those fish being not as long as fish from some other bodies of water. In fact, since this tournament happened, I have been been measuring fish on a regular basis. Just the other day I caught a Smallmouth just over 6 pounds that didn't even hit the 20" mark on the ruler so I could technically have a 5 fish for 30 pound bag and still not be able to compete with other bodies of water where the fish are skinnier but longer. Since I made this video I ended up fishing a team event that Lucky Go Fishing put on and ended up taking 2nd place and to be honest I wasn't really taking the time to record and measure all those 16-18 inch fish I caught earlier that day because I thought I was going to need a 19-20 inch average. So at about 3 pm I checked the standings and realized I messed up! We were not that far off. We decided to stay a bit longer to try and make up for all the fish we just tossed back earlier that day and had to measure a 12 inch largemouth we caught near the ramp to get our 10th fish. Even with that we ended up in 2nd! I did fish another 3 day event just recently where I was only able to fish 1 day and I checked the weight on all the fish I measured and had 22 1/2 pounds but fell short of the win and even a top 3. (I think I took a top 10 at least)
So do I think I can compete on the Great Lakes where these fish are fat but short? Maybe depends on the day I guess. I plan on trying to fish a for more of these tournaments because it certainly is a lot of fun but I am ready to get back into some serious tournament fishing next year!

How to organize your fishing tackle on the go! Tackle preparation!
In this video I met up with Eric and take a look at his system he uses for how to organize your fishing tackle on the go! He has a very impressive system. His tackle organization is amazing and his tackle system is flawless! Eric goes through how he packs for a tournament and a day of fun fishing. His tackle system is easily adjusted based on the conditions that he may face. This is probably one of the best tackle organization systems I have ever seen. A lot of time and thought has gone into this set up in order to keep his tackle organized. We also do a little fishing and head out on the Chesapeake Bay for the FLW BFL practice. The water conditions are terrible due to the past week unseasonably cold weather. The water is high and muddy and the fish are shut down! It is going to be a tough BFL for sure especially with the up coming forecast. We didn't even catch a legal fish and things are going to be a grind for me this weekend in the BFL!
Please like this video and leave any comments below on some of your ways that you manage your fishing tackle!
