Matt Becker won the 2021 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Googan Baits on Lake Murray with 76lbs 5oz. It's fitting that the tournament was won primarily on a Googan Baits Darts Soft Jerkbaits. In this video Matt talks about his practice on Clarks Hill for his tournament on Lake Murray, how the weather affected the herring/shad spawns, the baits and tackle he used, and leading the tournament and being able to close out the win. Becker also takes us on a Google maps tour of one of the key areas he fished and talks about why fish were holding on some points and not on other similar areas.
