In this #TackleTipTuesday, @justinhamnerfishing gives his strategy to catch key bass each day of competition and how he utilized multiple kinds of jerkbaits and mixed in a jig to catch the majority of his weight on Grand Lake in the 2024 Bassmaster Classic.
#bassmaster #bassmasterclassic
In the first classic anglers were allowed 4 rods and 10 pounds of tackle. The boats went a blistering 35 mph with a tail wind. No power poles, no spot lock, no hi tec braid or floro, no graphite rods, no side imaging, no detailed down imaging, no mapping etc. etc. Things change. I say have some tournaments with and without FFS just to add variety and make it more interesting. He won because he found the best quality fish just like every previous champion. Everything was fair, everyone had same tech on their boat. He just made the right decisions to win. Great job!
There is no sport in this anymore. Imagine deer hunting when your deer all have GPS trackers on them or a IR system that scans the entire woods. How about golf tournaments that allow Goggles to show ball flight before the ball is hit.
Congrats. Let all the haters hate.
I agree some are gonna whine about something regardless
That Vision 110 deep diver putting in work!
Buncha Anglers Staring (at) Screens Congrats on the win Garmin
Cry more
Boo hoo 😭 I bet you would take it ....if you could be
If A-Rig companies were throwing advertisement money into these tournaments like the electronics companies, they’d still be legal to use in tournaments.
A rigs should be legal in tournaments anyways. Do a 2 or 3 hook limit. You’ll still have no less than 3 less barbed points on them, than any hardbody treble hook bait on anybody else’s boat. 🤷🏽♂️
@@HawgWyldFishing the hooks weren’t the reason they did away with them. Here’s a direct copy from a magazine. Read this article and tell me what’s the difference in the A-rig and FFS. FFS gives a much bigger advantage. (Basically, B.A.S.S. said the Alabama Rigs make it too easy for the pro anglers to catch fish. The Elite Series Rules Committee members “believe the rig eliminates some of the skill that should be required in tournament competition at the highest level,” according to the B.A.S.S. news release.)

It has nothing to do with the amount of hooks. Give me the FFS sonar setups these pros are running and give any other average fishermen all the A-Rigs he can use and I’ll sure compete against him for money.
Congrats the man and move on. If the organization allows it, it's not cheating.
Congrats to Hamner! He killed it out there!
Hank Parker said it best
Hank Parker can say whatever. Its in the rules and the young man won fair and square. Sore losers can't congratulate a man on a job well done!
You think I'm 1984 Hank Parker wouldn't of had it on his boat when he fished BASS?? You dang right he would've cause it's about catching right ??
@@slabbusterrtr7690thats just the thing though . In 1984 Hank would have had to use it or get left far behind. Pros nowadays have to use it . The reliance on that single technology is out of hand. Ffs is without a doubt the primary weapon in tournament bass fishing. Not the knowledge of seasonal patterns, weather conditions affect on bass or the talent of working a particular lure. Its all about seeing fish in real time now. Tournaments today is more like a lottery. The winner is the one who drops that transducer on the right group of bass. Im not taking anything away from Hamner, his transducer found the right group and all other competitors didnt.
Rick Clunn, a true icon and legendary competitor has said it best. Not Hank the TV show personality Parker.
Well done! World Champion, Justin Hamner!!!!!!!!!
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Awesome
Imma need some of Hank Hill's special bait to catch em fish cuz I be spotting lakers on my ffs and cant get em to commit.
Dat good cocaine
All the new baits coming out and being advertised, the Ol classic jerkbait gets it done. Love it
Spinner bait with a Colorado blade was also second place. That to me, is young guys fishing old school techniques, with their own new modern twist to it. Evolution of the sport at its finest.
Times change and so does fishing technology. Build a bridge and get over it! Congrats Justin Hamner 👏
I can hear randy blaukat now😂
It’s nothing new. Guys who learned how to use side imaging destroyed the competition for several years. So using FFS to me isn’t cheating. It’s just learning how to use your electronics. The guys who spend most time learning are going to win. He used his FFS to find brush piles. Congratulations on the win.
It is cheating. It needs to be banned from tournament use. Or from fishing in general.
@@bingostar9207 If it's cheating then you should have no problem winning a Classic with it as well right?
@@iGoVroomVroom I won’t use it. I’m a real fisherman. Not a cheater.
@@bingostar9207sounds like you’re a goober
@@bingostar9207 Where is it cheating? Only in your small brain.... Congratulations Justin! If this was your son, you'd be ashamed to be speaking about him like this!!! Even without FFS, this young man would run circles around people talking bad about him. Even Scott Martin was singing his praises.
Congratulations alabama🔨 justin hamner showed up and showed out lead all 3 days 👊
He couldnt tell what those fish were doing other that looking at every bait in his box
Can these anglers prove they are not trying to snag the bass off their sonar?
Snagging bass is not impossible, Mike Long got caught doing it
Bet some 15 year old is snagging them off FFS somewhere. Besides what's the difference between seeing them on electronics and sight fishing? At least they can see you back without the FFS. And who made Castledine the fact speaking fish god?
To me FFS is the same as electro fishing or poisoning the fish and claiming that they were "caught"
I was there America!!!!🇺🇸
I find it funny how everybody is crying about FFS this year, but nobody was saying anything last year when Gussy used Mega Live to win the Classic......
Ive been watching and fishing in tournaments my whole life. Watching these guys now is like watching someone watch tv. Ffs needs to go before its to late.
Nothing but a bunch of spotlighters. How these tournament directors etc. have sold their soul to the electronics companies is sad.
I sold my soul and I love it... next time you go fishing I want you use a canoe with a paddle and cane pole with worms you dug yourself that way you can say your a real fisherman 🙄
@@slabbusterrtr7690I still do that every once in a while. I dont need a TV to catch fish.
Dam kids now how to play video games so livescope comes easily! Gotta feel bad for the old guys that never had time to pick up a controller because they were at the lake putting the time in breaking it down. 😂😂😂😂
How ?? Ffs of course. Got all these rookies winning
*4th year Elite Series pro
@@BassmasterOfficial Hamner is a talented angler, theres no doubt. That said B.A.S.S will have to address the divide within our sport at some point in regards to foward facing sonar. Foward facing sonar is without a doubt dominating the sport. Its the primary weopon now. Its become important than learning seasonal patterns, particular lure presentations, or how weather conditions affect bass on a particular day. The reliance on ffs is out of hand. B.A.S.S has to address this. When you see professional anglers not casting until they see the fish in real time, something is wrong.
A-rigs banned. Reason: unfair advantage. 20k electronics setup is okay. Your rules, your words, not mine. Now tell us how it's not about money. I will wait....
He won by having an understanding of video games
Yeah, I didn't see him catch any fish at all in 3 days. It was all virtual right?
Tatula
$20,000 to $50,000 dollars to look at a bass! I don't like "FFS" in tournaments, that's my opinion.
Bet he couldn't catch a fish without livescope video-game fishing
You’d bet incorrectly then
He told ya how he won it he caught bigger fish than evertbody else for 3 days DUH 😂
Like that spot light sportsmen tour. But what is sporting about it anymore. They fish on top of each other no respect for areas. Wondering around not casting unless you see a fish. I question just what is sporting about professional bass fishing anymore?
So your argument is they should be casting all day regardless of where they are and not be anywhere near another competitor? Have you watch ANY bass tournaments ever Randy?
Junk fishing baby
hamner caught all his fish spotlighting with FFS. It should be banned!
Waaaaaa, I'm gonna cry all day. I'm Randy
@@jimoconnor8597 Well ain’t that original! Justa another vid gamer wanting to take his toys on the boat!
@@chaddrumm6809 You do realize they ALL have FFS. All 50 anglers. Why couldn't those others catch as good?
@@jimoconnor8597half of them have openly said they do not use it or support it, but have it on their boat to make their sponsors happy. It’ll be banned next year
Why ??? It's about catching right ?? And we have always bought things to help us catch more fish ....RIGHT???
Primarily using ffs more like it lol 😂 bassmaster go talk to a real fisherman
Sad this young man has had criticism. He won within the rules. Congrats for the win. With that being said both BASS and the BPT are a freaking joke for allowing FFS. It’s OBVIOUSLY the shortcut to success! Hale to the Scopemaster Sportmans Society and The Spotlighting Pro Tour. Pathetic the “so called” pro tours allow for this tech!
I don’t think it is the shortcut , all the pros has it , but the results are so different. You have to learn it to use it well.
Just say you're too stupid to learn to use the new tech. Do you fish with a cane pole in a canoe with a paddle? If not, stfu and watch the pros do what you can't.
I vote for canes poles and crickets for the next Classic!!!!
And can afford it...
Bye Karen.... Hope you don't watch and don't renew your subscription.
It was won with FFS . I watched it live. He was using a jerkbait the majority of time and watching FFS. Hank Cherry has FFS...... He mentions watching how they react: kzhead.info/sun/bNxtdtZ7a3yLmKs/bejne.htmlsi=i2mbux6NaqRmdm07
And? Its currently a level playing field and within the rules to use. Congratulations Justin! Sorry there are so many sore losers!!! Can't congratulate a man on a job well done, just try to tear him down to make yourself look better. Shame!
BORING
Congrats to Justin-now this comment is for BASS - ban it period. You know damn well that this technology is going too far. Other sports have regulations that keep the integrity of the sport. Your turn!!!!
