WHAT WE REALLY FISH WITH! ( Matt's New Boat Tour + Real Tackle )
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Come inside Matt's brand new boat! Look under the locker lids at how he stores his tackle and what he's really got tied on his rods! We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Matt is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, how he sets the layout of a new boat, and a bunch of other great tackle storage tips!
Tackle storage is complicated! Storing it at home is one thing but getting all your gear to fit in the boat or in a backpack is a whole different challenge. As Matt opens up his new boat and explains his layout pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how it differs from his smaller aluminum boat. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat!
Below you'll find links to the Electronics on Matt's boat, the tackle storage solutions he uses on board, as well as his jet boat tackle storage components. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Best line in the video: "I keep it....I shouldn't try to claim I keep it simple... I guess I don't." Hahaha! Love this video Matt! Beautiful new boat. Thanks for sharing you tackle. Made my Friday morning.
You'd think that moment would be a turning point but judging by the unopened TW box sitting right here, it doesn't seem to have had an impact 😂
@@tacticalbassin Well in all fairness "Keeping it simple" means different things to different folks. To some it means tell me the best color. To us with the illness, it means only 3-4 colors in each category ( shad representation, craw, goby/sculpin, and transparent and mat finish) and obviously for clear water, stain and chocolate milk)! 🤣 So yeah...I had thought about starting a RUclips channel of just doing tackle order box openings. I realized the other day I have well over 400 jerkbaits. When you put me on Karashi's I ordered 10, out the gate cause there's all the MB colors I just have to have. Its a fun sickness.😆 Glad my wife doesn't read the comments.
I personally liked “I don’t own a normal amount of tackle, I have a problem.” 😂
Favorite line of the video... "I don't own a 'normal amount' of tackle; I have a problem..." haha... Keep smashing these videos fellas... Best and most informative Bass angling videos on the tube!!!
Would love to see a breakdown of you & Tim’s camera arsenal. How you stay powered, cameras, all that
Matt you and Tim have built a bass fishing empire, your both the kings ,well done the legendary legacy will continue from that little white room at Clearlake you started from to today's tactical, the influence on us all the knowledge is priceless, carry on you Rockstars
Hoping for a restoration video of the champ when you do it. Always nice to know those kinds of things too so you can make time on the water easier and more efficient.
We might be able to do that 👍🏼 Restoration is a monster job and I don't know that anyone has ever shown how to do it from start to finish.
Unless I missed it, I did not see a Jig Box. I don't leave home without them. As always a great video. I appreciate both your efforts in building this channel. Its been very helpful and i look forward to each video.
Your storage set up is how it should be, so many people don't understand how weight distribution works and how important that really is. You have more tackle in your boat than I do in my entire arsenal, I love it! Another great video.
Coming from the kayak world for the last five or so years-weigh distribution is everything. Some folks with boats don’t think about it until they have two buddies in the boat with their gear, and then you’re just kinda stuck for the day.
@@jeffthebean1 yeah absolutely. In my boat, when I'm by myself I actually throw a 50 lbs bag of sand in the back bilge area to help performance because of where I had to put my trolling motor batteries. Before, it was too stern heavy and towed like shit (performance was great by myself, but if anyone was with me, it was too much) so I moved my batts towards the bow and it tows better (more tongue weight) and performs better when someone is with me. My boat is actually faster with someone else with me in the boat, which is all due to weight distribution
Could you guys show us your tackle rooms/garages to show us the sheer amounts of tackle y’all have. Would be a fun video to see!
💯
😂😂😂 👍
Man….Mat….you bring tackle addiction to another level. Impressive!
It's a sickness for sure! 😵💫
Dude! It’s so insane! But I absolutely love it! Storing tackles correctly is so important to keep the gear safe for years!!!
Your presentation is huge!!! I’m a fan!!! Thanks for your video!!!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
SKEET GANG😤
Happy (early) Easter to all those who celebrate it!🐰🐣
Happy Easter!
Darn right baby, keep the Champ! You make those of us old Champion employees proud to keep what we did alive after Champion going down! Appreciate it brother!
Wouldn't dream of selling a work of art!
👏👏Matt you are the first person I’ve ever seen put your rods on the driver side,absolutely brilliant ❤️👍
I did it for a while, might go back to it, better balance when running solo.
Couple of beast hooks for those magdrafts
I haven't got though the video yet and already love it hearing "this is my first new boat ever!" Congratulations!!
This is what dreams are made of!
I'm so excited about it! Thanks Chris!
You should be! It's well deserved!
I’ve got 3 Buzzby boxes now and I love them! I found that the tackle warehouse makes neoprene rod socks that I also love, I like them a lot better than the netted versions. It’s so much fun being a tackle junkie!
Oh yeah I been waiting for this one, nice boats, congrats to the whole tactical family
Thank you Mike!
“It’s the Incredible tackle shop on the water!” 😂 Matt, you’re loaded, buddy! I wouldn’t be surprised if the bass just give up and jump in your boat when you’re on the water! 🤣
Love the organization and that you are really supporting the buzbe company. Phenomenal storage that the big companies should take note of.
I am watching at 23:00 (11pm for non-military time keepers lol) and Matt's enthusiasm has me jacked and ready to go right now!
Man! This video is right on time! I'm in the middle of organizing all my tackle. My wife is threatening to put me and my tackle out of the house! She needs to watch this video. You make me look like I have nothing!! 🤣🤣🤣
You gave me some great ideas on how to store my tackle. I don't have a boat, but I'm a junkie. I pack my backpack to the brim and I hump it up and down the bank. I've added this one to my favorites so that I can come back to it again, as I organize. Thank you for sharing!! This was much needed.
Super cool video AND boat. Has me missing my Skeeter and V-Max! Best line in my opinion,
“I have a problem!” 😂 I was choking I laughed so hard! Truth is, it’s only a problem if you can’t afford it. I wish you would have showed us that cool net inside the center lid. Beautiful boat. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for coming along! Those Vmax motors are special! I totally missed the net... that came with boat. Pretty cool!
After I started buying higher end baits when I switched out my tackle boxes because I didn’t want anything to rust. I’ve got a compartment full of Plano edge boxes now for my hard baits and they have been great!! I don’t have as much tackle as Matt but enough to fill the compartment up with a small amount of space left so my boxes would slide a little bit cause the inner compartment is plastic so I took the rubber anti-fugitive mats from harbor freight and cut them and put them in the bottom of the compartment and now my boxes don’t slide and it’s also makes it more quite if you drop your boxes in it cause they ain’t slamming into that hard plastic bottom and making that loud thump sound through the boat. Just a cheap tip for anyone that might have the same problem.
Such a great tip! Thanks!!
You can never have enough tackle when your on the water, I've been caught with only 1 certain color & that's the one they want, you sold me on the spunk shad, & going to get that 1st carrying bag you showed, great boat, nice! When your talking tackle about you get so excited it makes me want more also! 🎣
That’s me with dropshot and tequila sunrise straight tail worms.
Or the dropshot and Keitech sexy shad with those straight little tails in the 4ish inch size.
Not my preferred method of catching fish (I’m a crank/squarebill guy) but man, some days, all they want is that dropshot and it produces.
The lakes are high, rivers are high...time to break out the big rat!
I'm so happy to know you kept the Champion. Because of you and Pat Goff, I'm actually considering my first true bass boat and I'm looking at used Champions. Specifically, the Bass & Bay 186 or a 203, 1996 model or later... Thank you for sharing 🍺🎣
Awesome!! You're going to love them, no matter which model you choose 👍🏼
I thought I had a "problem": with my amount of tackle and lures I have in my boat. I feel good about myself now after watching this.
Yes, yall the reason I got so much tackle. Tight lines.
Awesome video! The ice on the lake I fish is finally melted, but the water is 40 degrees still! I'm getting my gear ready!
It's almost time!!
@@tacticalbassin I hope! Also, I'm a little bit confused where smallmouth spawn, and how their spawning pattern is different from largemouth. I fish lake Champlain up north, and I could definitely use some smallmouth tips for spring. Thanks so much!
Great review of the boat and storage. Love to have one of everything, including the Skeeter!!
Thanks Ryan!
Ultimate Video! My dream video. Perfect set up. I would love to see the stress level you go through, to decide who makes the cut in the river box. Tackle junkies unite!
Your content does not disappoint! Love it! Great way to store your spinnerbaits! Already ordered those storage soft tackle bags! Easy to do since you link everything! MATT!!!! Your tackle addiction is Legendary!!!!
Thanks!
🥈🌅🙌🏻
@@midwestfischerman my notifications bell is on island time! Hahaha
@toddpossum Yes, I've had many of those mornings lately.🤷🏼♂️ However, this morning, I think I had my "PB" as I posted 6 seconds after the upload went live!💪🏻
@@midwestfischerman ok. Bradda
I love when Matt does tackle, He’s a true maniac !! 😂
Good lawd!!!! The money that must be sitting in that boat IS UNREAL. you da man Matt! Thanks for sharing 🤙🎣
Fun one to watch this morning, would love to see a video about the Champ restoration!
Very informative. How about your other storage compartments? I would like to see what you have in those as well.
I didn't realize I missed them until editing 🤦♂️ One is empty for my co-angler, the other has tools, jumper box, life jackets, and emergency rain gear.
Showing this video to my wife ASAP! My tackle collection ain’t bad at all!
😂😂😂
Love your videos and wish I could go fishing with you for one day and learn as much as I can in that one day lol
Love to see a series on the restore of the champion.
Someday can we get a video on how you and Tim met, your friendship, and decided to create Tactical Bassin? You guys are living a dream, being able to make a living fishing, much less with your buddy as your business partner! As always, best bass channel on the tube.
Wow! Holy cow Matt! I thought I had a tackle addiction!!!! My wife would divorce me dude!! You are my idol! I could sit and go through your boxes all day!!!
Brian in Santee Cooper , SC
Very nice setup.
That was a awesome video. I've been trying to figure out how to store all my stuff in my new Nitro Z19. It looks like I'm going to be investing in more tackle boxes and bags. The only thing I'm having trouble with is how to organize my terminal tackle. I don't know what box to use. In the video, you talked about blade baits and tail spin's. I really like to see you do a video on them. In the video you didn't show what you keep in the 2 back compartments. I look forward to more great videos from you guys. Have fun and be safe on the water.
love it. and now I feel ever so slightly less crazy.
Bwahaha we're just over here setting a new base line for the sickness 😂
This video could have been much shorter. What i have in my boat - Tackle Warehouses entire inventory. Matt, you have a problem but at least you are aware of it ! LOL
😂😂😂
Watching a tactical bassin video always gets me pumped up to go fishing 😂
Awesome boat, Matt!! When you have that much tackle, it is a must to be organized!!
100% if it's not organized you'll go crazy looking for something.
If you want to send the champ off for work, look into the gorilla hull by toledo fiberglass. Lifetime transferable warranty and is a beast. Love the videos 🤙
You guys should TM that, "I don't own a normal amount of tackle...I have a problem." Throw it on a T-shirt. Buzbe has come on strong as of late, those fast flats are super interesting to me as a bank guy. Keep up the good work, men.
Out of control is right 😂 legendary setup!
I thought I had a tackle addiction. Now I can buy lots more stuff. Thx 🎣🎣
Ha! I'm just over here setting a new baseline 😂
Love your tackle organization approach for the jet boat. I've been trying to dial in my kayak tackle in a similar way. I'll definitely be checking out the Buzbe bags now👍
Thanks Matt! Those bags are amazing. I fished out of that bag on a brand new lake yesterday and wasn't lacking anything 👍🏼
Can confirm. Buzbe is amazing for kayak organization. Best part is, they are designed to float. Best tackle storage on the market IMHO.
Great video. And you have some great tackle storage ideas. Thanks for sharing
New boats , storage hopefully some new sponsorships as well.
Hey thanks to your guys videos I caught my first glide bait fish and got a double on an alabama rig.
Thats awesome! Way to go! 🙌
awesome boat and walk thru Matt! Those Buzbe boxes look great. Wishing you, Tim, and your families a very happy and blessed Easter!!
Thank you Mike! Happy Easter!
I was a little surprised you didn’t have any jigs in the go box. I think you said you had some jig heads in one of them though. Good video as always. Appreciate your willingness to educate. Enjoy the new Skeeter!
Great video congrats on the new boat. I would love to see yours, or Tim's garage. Or where you have all of your tackle.
Thank you Brandon! Maybe one of these days 🤔
I vaguely remember he had a video of that probably 9-10 years ago. I can only imagine now. He probably has a second house to hold it. 😂
@@Milehighsnake98 that's what I'm saying lol, I'm a small time addict and I have a huge peg board wall in my garage. I can only imagine theirs
Whoa! I thought I had a lure addiction. I can only coward with that. I fish from a kayak and use the bass pro large tackle bag. It weighs 33 lbs with my tackle and I have a smaller soft plastics and spinner bait bag. You wouldn’t believe what I have on a kayak. What you have is crazy. Someone said “ Chance favors a prepared person” I think you have nice rig!
You're loaded down on that kayak!! Awesome!!
Amazing rig Matt. Love it.
Thanks Ernie!
I know you guys have the kayaks more for fun fishing, but would you consider doing a video on what you would hypothetically want on a kayak if you were going to be entering a tournament with a competitive group of anglers? I'm curious to hear what you would do different than guys who are more typical yak anglers.
Pray I catch a striped bass tomorrow boys
Congratulations Matt on the new boat!🎉 On my channel, I can take you all on a tour of my tackle backpack 🎒 and my muddy waterproof hiking boots!!!😢😮😂
Thank you! And I'd take that tour... I'll bet that backpack would give a whole lot of local knowledge.
Awesome stuff Matt. Here's a question/idea I don't think you guys ever addressed. How do you store 3 boats at your home? What kinds of ideas do you have for home storage of boats in general. There is a big expense for keeping our boats inside an enclosed area. Love to see you guys home set ups as well.
Only thing missing in that day bag is a top water, buzz bait, maybe a walking bait, but other then that, it's set's up nice
Thanks for the plug on Wisconsin roads. Apparently you drive the same way on roads as you do in shallow water. Next time take one of the 2 paved roads that we have. Lol
😂😂😂 Full send all the time!
“I’m fanatical about tackle. I have a problem.”
Truer words have never been spoken 😂. If I don’t have a box at my door from TW every week there’s a problem
😂 Tim and I both resemble this remark 😂
Love the skeeter as well. I’ve been running an FXR 20 for about 2 years now and I absolutely love it!
Awesome boat!! I think I would end up just looking at my graphs all day long, lol. There's something special about jet boats and river fishing for me. Thier just the ultimate atv of a fishing boat. Sending it over a sand bank or logs in the river to get where no one goes, all to get to wild fish. If I hit the lottery I'm buying dozens of river bank properties through out the country, sticking trailers on them and stashing jet boats at them. I'll use the rivers as my roads.
Yes!! I like how you think!!
I have a 202 Champion and it’s the smoothest riding boat I’ve ridden in.
Such a sweet boat!
Hey Matt. I've been wanting to get my first boat, and end my struggle fishing the finger lakes up here in New York from a kayak. After this video I think you convinced me a used first boat may be the way to go. After all you just got your first new one! The cost of a new one is really pricey, as you well know. Thanks for your used boat videos you've done. I plan on watching them over multiple more times. Hey travel North some time, a state record smallie was just caught last year 50 miles away on Cayuga!
Hi Bill! Used is DEFINITELY the way to go! There are so many options that save 10's of thousands of dollars and don't give up anything. I say all the time that Cobras are the most overlooked boat in the game. They went out of business before all the crazy price hikes began so they remain extremely affordable and they're Solid for the money. I ran one for years until it was totalled in my wreck and I went back to Champion. 👍🏼
Coolest thing wasn't even mentioned. The net holder!
Organized Chaos, it's a fisherman's wet dream.
Very informative. Where do you keep your anchor, life jackets, and other required emergency supplies?
As a new Champion owner and Wisconsinite, I cringed when I heard what happened to your 210. Glad you’re getting it all redone, that boat deserves it!
Thanks Andrew! Congrats on the Champ!!
Very impressive setup. You know where everything is and not have to think about it. Would be good to know how it all went with the new boat and tackle setup at the end of the summer bass season. Cheers 😀
We need to take a peek at the thrashed swimbait box again 😊
😁
I’m gonna make my wife watch this video so she can see that my tackle addiction really isn’t so so bad. 🤷🏻♂️😂😁 Pretty sick man. 😎🤙🏽
Good lord! If you wanna see what keeping it "simple" actually looks like come check my boat, lol.
Great vid Matt, thanks.
Ha! Thank you!!
Love the boat!!! You're my Hero! Lol. I have a tackle problem too. 😂
Ha! Thanks Michael! We're the opposite of a support group... its easier to dig deeper when you know you're not alone 😂
No buzzbaits in there? What would you use to store them?
Not this time of year in the mtns of Tennessee, that comes later. Bjzzbaits are tough... I've stored them in deep boxes, shallow boxes, jig boxes, etc... and never truly been happy. The main problem is I use double buzz a lot and there just isn't a storage solution.
Gotta know Matt’s rock crawler set up!!
Bad ass video Matt
Y’all should do a video on how to do the carpet. My boat is in need of some new carpet
That jet boat bag setup was the most helpful part of a video I’ve seen in a long time. Very useful as a co angler also.
Do you have recommendations for travel rods? As in, 3 or 4 piece rods.
I can't wait to see this video!
Would absolutely love to see some tactical restoration videos. I have a champ 206 and am in roughly the same boat (pun intended) could use some new wiring, gel coat, transom could be reinforced. Overall the boat is still fishable with the love scars to prove it
id love to see a tour of the champ!
I’ve got a Yamaha on my 22 year old G3 and have had 1 issue in all that time. They are bulletproof
AMAZING!!! I LOVE these motors!!
Matt you seriously need to check out Ampd marine for your Skeeter they make some of the best light weight storage solutions for us tackle junkies to stay organized 😂and Page Johnson is a heck of a nice guy to work with he'll get you fixed right up
Matt I have found that I can go behind guy’s fishing a lipless with a blade bait and chuck and wind it and catch fish that they don’t get. I think they are so conditioned to the sound of a lipless that the blade bait with the same action but no sound is different enough to trigger a bite
Send it= Gatortrax Strike
I LOVE my 21'gt battleship
My favorite part is when he says a 12 and 13 inch units are smaller 😂 my 2 helix 10s up front are big to me
It's all relative, those are bigger than what I have on my jet and wayyyy bigger than my Helix 7 on the Kayak. We strive to meet everyone where they are, so for the fully rigged and dialed bass boat, we went BIG.
I’m jelly!!!! So much tackle Omggg!!!!
Sikkkkknessssss!
Lmaooooooooooooo
I really enjoyed this video!
Only thing I'd add to that jet bag is a popper and a whopper plopper
🎊🎉Comment #2 and congratulations on the BRAND NEW BOAT,well earned and deserved ❤️❤️💪
Thank you Ken! And I think a lot of the time anglers don't think it through... they just do what they've always done, or what they've seen done.
Isn't that Champion one of the best big water boats? Skeeter is an awesome looking rig.
