For professional angler Greg Hackney, finding fish is not always that hard, but finding the right sized fish can be a challenge. In this segment of Sportsman TV, Hackney shows the tips and tricks he uses to find larger fish. While fishing grass mats earlier in the day, Hackney was able to get on a good bite. The fish he caught were averaging a small size, so Hackney decided to change tactics and move on to fishing duck blinds with a larger bait — a Strike King ½-ounce Hack Attack flipping jig.
