People who can't catch bass are the people who dislike a video like this. Still would give the video a like if my worst enemy was catching that bass just because catching giant bass is one of the greatest things in the world.
I wish all tournaments could afford to do weights at the boat. Releasing them right at the bed you caught them off is so much better for the fish and maintaining a fishery.
Amen - ALL tournaments should be run this way. I personally hate the concept of "competitive fishing", but with money involved, it's not going away. When the fish are handled responsibly like this, it seriously reduces my angst!
@@cardsfighter2 some tournaments do a weigh in at the landing. So they keep the fish until they’ve got the weights. Others use calibrated handhelds on the boat. Those guys have a moderator with them also.
Excited but calm... Great attitude Justin. It's in these moment that you REALLY appreciate MLF's catch & release. Imagine to travel with this giant for hours in the livewell...
Taking care of the fish, especially big ones that guard beds well and have good genetics just keeps the fisheries healthier and ensures the fishing stays quality
Congrats on a true Sweetwater hog right there by God.. Hell you had me out of breath to.😅😅😅 Then when you said your reel is broke, I shouted out!! Hand line her in😅😅 Way to getter done brother..
I don’t take scales either, but it’s because it’s to much work. Considering your the pro and you get paid for being one of the best at your craft you would think you had the time to get the scales...., but “ for the safety of the fish” sounds better than I’m to lazy lol
What a pig. I've had bad luck with 3 that size. They took me in brush tops. Kept my line tight. Hoping they would come out. One got just enough slack to jump up and say goodbye. Hung him on a jig.I throw it around cover. But also in deep water. I love deep water fishing. I tell people. Your biggest bites come in deep water. Trace Lake in Ms. Fish stay deep. Check it out. And Lamar Bruce. Also a good deep water lake. But have good line. And keep your drag set. Cause it's full of pigs.
To watch her swim away still near her bed is a beautiful thing! Congrats on the pb!
Excuse me
Wow!! 10.8 pounder caught on light spinning tackle! Who the hell would dislike this video! Smh!
Yeah. That's what I thought. 8 dislikes? That was awesome.

Some liberal tird that has nothing better else to do!.
Couldn’t ask for a better way to handle that Walmart Girl.
It’s probably catfishermen

Yeah I just recently started watching tournaments. Why do some keep fish in the live well? For a photo op if you win? Makes no sense.

Also you get less cheaters that way too!

Mr. Lapin 100% in agreement
Absolutely love MLF format. The most important thing is the fish! MLF is the reason why pro fishing will be around for the next 100 years.
What a rush of excitement. I could feel it. Good for him. And for the 11 ppl who disliked this video, what’s going on “men”?
Dudes face at the end was like... "Damn man!!! I really wanted some scales!!"
sneaccy yeah I got that impression. Like “whoops I really was supposed to get scales”
True fisherman right there! Fish health comes first and that's to be admired! Congrats on the new PB!!!
Atkins seems to have a way with 10 pounders lol. One of the most genuine guys on tour. Congrats brotha!
Pro tip : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Edison Dean Yea, I've been using Flixzone for months myself :)
@Edison Dean yea, been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
@Edison Dean definitely, I have been using flixzone for since december myself =)
That was something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the fact he blew off the scales for the betterment of the fish's health, good call...
Hands down my favorite BASS catch of all time
Yeah it's that time of year for me .trophy bass hunting here in North San diego
God almighty,. Does anything get that Marshall excited???? 😅😅😅
He never flinched.!! Or even cracked a smile!!
Way to be a true sportsman. That was impressive. The fight the catch and the release. Good stuff.
I love the format for the immediate release but the judges need to call them fair. I've seen guys get penalties when the tails didn't even touch
Wow cant believe I just saw this! Justin Atkins is a LEGEND!
My GOSH I love this
Outstanding! In a lot of ways. Great job for the huge respect shown to that big girl. Congrats.
Great catch,I couldn’t have stayed that calm....great job and seeing the release was cool as hell
Awesome catch congratulations on your pb
Why I watch this over the other organizations. Weigh and release at the boat! Keep this big ones alive!
What sportsmanship.That is what Largemouth Fishing is really all about.
You sir are a true professional! Nice work!
I’m sure his reel sponsor was thrilled when he announced that his reel just broke. 😆
lolol he just turned the drag wrong way...but ya
Epic fight on spinning gear 💪 New PB, Legit DD 👍
Congratulations Man !!! And you were “window shopping” too 😂😂😂 AWESOME 😃👍🏼
Humble dude... lifetime memory catch.
Way to use that drag and be calm 💪
Love this tourney style, hopefully everyone, including weekend tourneys will follow suit, dead fish floating every weekend. Go MLF!
Do what now
What kind of polarized glasses was he wearing?? I really need a good pair! Thank you to all who read this
Congrad you first with this PR bass and to put him back without the research and tag 🤜👍👍🤛 its life no damage what counts 👊
Catch & Release
Caught one at Purtis Creek State Park 10.5 in October 2015
The heavy breathing and adrenaline when hooked up to a fat sally is priceless! Nice catch!
Respect to the name
I’m his might be the calmest I’ve ever seen someone reel in a 10 pounder
I have brushed up against the #10 mark a few times. I can only imagine what your feeling.
That was awesome
They say "everything bigger in Texas".... yeahhhhhhh buddy!!
I'm not a marine biologist but that's a heck of lunker, n I'm glad neither one of them plucked scales off that ole girl... congrats on new PB
Awesome fish.
Brother my hat is off to you I don't know how you pull a 10 pounder out of a stump field with grandpa's crappie pole like that. good work
Congratulations! Wow what a fish
Nice PB!👍👍
Good job
Fished a tournament in conroe couple weeks back. Guy caught 14.25 lb fish first day. Imagine that
That's a hawg for sure man congrats
Two of the best minutes of your life son lol
What a HAWG!!! 😳
I wish they would have showed the other competitors when the score tracker updated
Way to stay cool 😎
Nice beefcake! Congrats on the PB!
If I may ask, what spinning reel was he using or prefer to use? Thank you. Great job on landing that giant fish and congrats on the new personal best.
Way to go man ..
Show them boys how to do it with that spinning reel !! Hell yeah !!
Health of the fish was his number one priority... you have to completely respect that. Nice catch pimp
Legendary !!!!
Awesome! 🎣
What a great fish!!!Abu Spinning reels suck! I guess when they're free it doesn't matter.
It's about time a bass gave a good fight
what does getting scales mean on the fish?
I’m no fisherman, but I never knew fishermen care for the safety of the fish. Beautiful
Taking care of the fish, especially big ones that guard beds well and have good genetics just keeps the fisheries healthier and ensures the fishing stays quality
he actually didnt exaggerate on the 10 pounder remark
Congrats on a true Sweetwater hog right there by God..
Hell you had me out of breath to.😅😅😅
Then when you said your reel is broke, I shouted out!! Hand line her in😅😅
Way to getter done brother..
What's his setup and what did he use?
She’s a beauty
16-24 inch slot at Lake Fork, that's why they got those pigs in the lake !!
Spinner and Senko? 💪
And people say you can't catch giant bass on spinning tackle....
Breathe boy! Breathe! 😂
If it wasn’t mandatory for the scales, I would have thrown her back as well. Good fish!!!
Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Are the scales for DNA purposes? If not what's the reason?
I don’t take scales either, but it’s because it’s to much work. Considering your the pro and you get paid for being one of the best at your craft you would think you had the time to get the scales...., but “ for the safety of the fish” sounds better than I’m to lazy lol
Like someone being taken on a flying saucer then returned.
Reminded me of my gma telling me to "be still"
I fought a 21 inch large mouth bass that weighed 5 pounds
10 lbs 8 oz ... Nice....😎
Ref wanted 3 scales on the carpet so he could charge the angler with 2 min penalty, sneaky! Good job not falling for that scam.
Stupid MLF rules
Can you elaborate on what you said. I haven't a clue what it means and why would an official want to penalize you.
Good fish but fiddling around with your drag that much during the fight is asking for trouble. You got lucky landing that one
As of now..... Eight people that don't know how to fish!!
🇬🇧👍🏻
Hopefully someone just accidentally hit the thumbs down button........
Not as easy with a spinning rod.
Yes it is, his drag was loose and he babies the fish. Bass aren't good fighters.
What the Hecks he checking his phone for during the battle??!!!!!
He wasn't checking his phone. He got his remote out of his pocket to raise his poles up.
I thought he was controlling his trolling motor
❤️🎣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤟
What a pig. I've had bad luck with 3 that size. They took me in brush tops. Kept my line tight. Hoping they would come out. One got just enough slack to jump up and say goodbye. Hung him on a jig.I throw it around cover. But also in deep water. I love deep water fishing. I tell people. Your biggest bites come in deep water. Trace Lake in
Ms. Fish stay deep. Check it out. And Lamar Bruce. Also a good deep water lake. But have good line. And keep your drag set. Cause it's full of pigs.
I wouldn’t have fought it for so long and I would have released it immediately after weighing it. Not like it was a 15 pounder.
livesay88 it’s light tackle so it takes a while to get em in
Why is he breathing like that?
you got "her" not "him" lol
Tail touched. 2 min penalty
Chad C this year a slight touch is not penalized
Good job deciding not to pluck scales from an already exhausted giant 👍
That’s what makes MLF so boring, nothing but dinks😆
DMacc There at The Fork.. My blind cousin caught a 7 last week on a Snoopy pole!
What a hog man, great job.
from saltwater fishing this shit is 🤦♂️😂😂 I should’ve won a million trophies with my fish lmfao.. that cheap ass rod 😂😂😂
Always pimping something. Your poor use of the American English syntax is very telling of a poor intellect.
Thumbs down 👎
but what about those poor biologists?
Be still lol, dramatic much.
