On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Matt Downs of Tricked tins. Who the 3rd Annual Speckled Trout Tournament on the Elizabeth River. Matt just experienced the kind of tournament day every fisherman dreams of. After a decade of grinding on the ER, he shattered his longtime personal best speckled trout of 5.5 lbs — landing an absolute giant in the 7-pound class and securing a tournament bag of 14.12 lbs.Despite a brutally tough day on the water — including three missed quality fish and a three-hour stretch without a single bite, he fought through the grind and still brought home the hardware. We dive into his decision to take this tournament seriously for the first time, the strategy behind his success, and why this championship run is one he’ll never forget. He also shares his appreciation for longtime friend and event host Bucky Osborne, reflecting on their history and Bucky’s growing impact in the fishing industry.Click the link below to get 15% off any roll-on when you use the code BLUEFISH.BlueStuff.com/FishingtheDMV   Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon down below: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast  If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at [email protected] Tricked Tins on website: https://trickedtins.net/pages/about-tricked-tins Tricked Tins on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.129317026530010&type=3 Tricked Tins on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trickedtinsjonboats/?hl=en Tricked Tins on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TRICKEDTINSBucky Osborne on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/garrett.b.osborne Link Bucky’s to Speckled Trout Tournament: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2299688776898215  Bucky Osborne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bucky_osborne?igsh=enR2c2l6bGJybmUy   Please checkout our Patreon SponsorsJake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRods Tiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits  Fishing the DMV Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link  #ChesapeakeBay #fishingtheDMV #fishingtipsSupport the show
