Oklahoma pro points to decision-making, confidence as his keys to victory at Stage 4

March 26, 2026 • MLF • Bass Pro Tour

Momentum is a reality in any competition, and Mercury Marine pro Zack Birge definitely has it. Birge headed into Bass Pro Tour Stage 4 fresh off of back-to-back wins, and in the No. 1 spot in the Fishing Clash Angler of the Year race. The Oklahoma pro had a matter-of-fact attitude about his expectations and AOY standings as he prepared to compete on Texas big-bass factory O.H. Ivie.

“We have so much more of the season left, so much more fishing to do,” Birge said. “We just play it day by day.”

Solid decision making and confidence in what you’re doing are huge factors in tournament bass fishing, which Birge explains in this week’s Mercury Keys to Victory for O.H. Ivie and Brownwood Lake, Texas.
