Craziest Day Ever Ends in Boat Crash! - FAIL

From bad to worse! Tim and Matt had no idea what was coming when they launched the boat on the CA Delta! The day just kept going down hill. It started with lost fish, then they got cut off, next they lost a GIANT striped bass, rebounded by catching a huge bird, and then when it couldn't get any worse, they crashed!

Have you ever had one of "those" days? We just couldn't seem to do anything right! Luckily we survived to tell the tale! When it was all said and done, Matt was able to turn the day around by heading to another lake and catching a bunch of bass on soft jerkbaits.

Bad days happen to all of us. Don't let it get you down! Keep your chin up, stay focused, and continue to fish until you get out of the rut. The only difference between great anglers and the rest of us is persistence!

We did manage to catch a few fish along the way. Below is a break down of the gear we were using to successfully catch fish.

Some days everything is tested. You and Tim set a great example of how to control your temper, staying humble and positive. You guys put your heads down stayed focused and ground out the day which paid off. This video speaks greatly to both you and Tim's character. Stay safe and God bless.

Yesterday I had some random guy ask me fishing questions at the ramp while I was doing my pre-launch routine. I had never seen this guy before, I didn't know him. It caught me off guard and like I said, interrupted my pre launch routine up a little. Nothing to be concerned with right? I decided to be nice and told this stranger to go grab his gear and hop in, I was going to take him bass fishing. So we get out there and had been fishing for about 30 minutes and I noticed the boat felt really sluggish. That's right, I forgot to put the plug in. We ran back to the bank bilge pump blasting. I was mad and embarrassed. "Ken" told me that his brother says he is bad luck on a boat and he apologized. I was not mad at him though. He didn't do anything wrong. All he did was ask a few questions. I was going to call it a day and go home since I was mad at myself but instead I fixed the problem, regrouped, cleared my head, decided to continue fishing. Eventually I was able to put Ken"on his first lipless crankbait bass ever. I too could have ended my day on a bad note but I didn't. It felt great watching Ken catch that bass.

Glad you shared your bad day with us. At least its Wednesday and not Monday, BADD way to start the week. Haters will be haters but the majority of us enjoy watching you guys kill it. Keep rippin lips bros.

When does the Tactical Heron channel start?

RE: that Nitro fool. That's the one good thing about getting older. I'm in my mid 60's and would have not let it go. I would have motored over and let them know exactly what they had done and how I felt about it. Somebody has to be the one to call them out, and an old crusty guy like me will be happy to do it! Another great video.

Great video My personal best day ever was after the boat I borrowed had an engine failure after dragging to Canada. I rented a boat and found a wind blown rock cliff and caught 150 fish. Never give up! Stay positive great advise! Thank you for the great videos! You guys are the best of all time on you tube!

[onemomthreedads]

True reality of bass fishing. But grinding through the bad days, and continuing to follow your passion, makes it all worth it. I really enjoy the fail videos, just as much as the giant videos. Thanks guys👍

[donniemcmasters]

Man I have had days where I snag everything in the lake. Even lost a couple rods. Got snagged started drifting in my kayak. Got tangled in all my gear. To stubborn to cut line lost the setup. I don't love fail videos but it's nice to see the hard days too. Love your videos guys.

Thanks for being real and sharing screw ups. My day started with a 6' gar biting my 6 inch Bull Shad swim bait. Got the fish to the boat and while trying to unhook him with the pliers, the fish broke the line with its teeth and swam away with my $60 swim bait. Being mad, I decided to go to a new spot but forgot the lift the trolling motor. Broke the shaft on my Fortrex and basically missed the spawn and post spawn as my Champion 210 sat in the shop for 5 weeks waiting for trolling motor parts. Lesson learned! Won't be doing that one again and just realize life happens!

The way you two fish together is amazing! You both are so in sync. Whenever I fish with people it’s just getting slapped with rods and lures all day

[Danyang]

That guy at the start, oh man lol people just do crazy things. Glad you guys stayed positive and regrouped and still ended on a good note!

[darrylshisler]

Great positive attitude. I have experienced bad days, and you cannot rewrite the past, so learn from it, laugh at it, and enjoy the new moments available

[theramblingbard]

Showing us your tough days is super important. Thank you for this.

[kimehunt]

You two are clearly the coolest fishermen ever. I loved this video because every video you make humbles me, this one makes me feel a bit better about my dumb ass mistakes. Love you two winter is coming and in a month or so you are all I have until Spring. Be safe out there!

[jaredkemperfishing]

I'm glad you guys are ok and sometimes you just have a bad day but I'm glad you share the good, the real, and the bad with us. Your pb herring was hillarious..lol..almost caught one myself once. You guys rock, on to better days!

[tedmccarthy]

Blue Heron PB!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 totally made my day thanks again Matt and Tim.

[nickmcdaniel]

Bad days make us appreciate the good days. Different lake, different luck. Just how it goes. Glad everyone is ok. Keep up the good work!

[proteusxavier]

Matt, as tragic as it is, you had me in stiches. A blue heron! Sometimes it's what makes life worth livin'. LOL But yeah, that Nitro guess he could've been fishing a tournament... I'm sorry about your boat though. That just plain sucks. I'm still glad you made this video, because you needed to talk about it. Definitely handled it better than I would have!

[gwdirty]

I have never understood why anybody thumbs down a YouTube video that was clearly made to provide helpful information and entertainment. If you like it, thumbs up, if not, don’t watch it.

[corkyvanderhaven]
