Good luck man. Texas rig to me is really not power fishing.😅

[@MattStefanFishing]

Gotcha

[@dennisederer3594]

Oh to be able to cast light lures on a bait caster.
I can’t throw anything less than a 1/2 oz lure on my bait casters.
Best wishes on your tournament.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You can do it!

[@johndrx165]

Best of luck, Matt!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Hopefully Hank tied you a lucky skirt for your court tackle swim jig to go along with the lucky cookies that Mama baked for you. I am really hoping you can find yourself in a top 10. Hopefully being a river you will have some advantage

[@MattStefanFishing]

Me too! Big tourney!

🍺I wish you well👍. Game time with high ramifications hanging on the outcome. Stressful but exciting at the same time. Success will taste slightly sweeter then it would if you were sitting comfortably prior to the event. 🤠 We shall see.🙏.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@rodneygreen9968]

I hope that you are more flexible than just fishing the shallow water banks.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Yep

[@timtweet8149]

Ya look sun burned or wind burned. Be sure to use sunscreen, see your dermatologist at least twice a year. We've both had skin cancer so don't skip it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I do my best

[@timtweet8149]

Didn't mean to be mean, just concerned. Sounds like ya have a plan. Stick to what ya know/works. I picked up a deal on a Lews Tier 1 bait cast reel and a Shimano SLX XT. Haven't decided yet what line to put on them. Tier 1 is on a 7'3 heavy fast I won on a you tube live and the SLX goes on my med/mod pistol grip. Any suggestions on setting them up? Tight line a gig'em Aggie style on the James!

[@mr.skeptical3071]

Of course it won't be, it'll be some rich punk with 10 livescope screens!!!!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Could be
