Punchin’ Mats with Patrick Pierce at Bienville Plantation!

Bassmaster Open pro Patrick Pierce punches up a 4-pounder from beneath matted hyacinths at the famed Bienville Plantation near White Springs, Florida! He gives a great tip on landing bass from the thick stuff. Then he takes time to show us how to snell a flippin’ hook and rig up for mat-punchin’ – a technique Pierce has used to cash numerous tournament checks.
