The channel is starting to take off again! Congratulations on that and thank you for these videos. You're a huge reason why I bought my kayak and left the bank for the most part. Best wishes!
@davidfriedman6126 19 күн бұрын
I always like ur vids using traditional techniques, throwing all kinds of lures, casting all over the lake, putting in the time it takes to figure out the bass elusive behavior that changes every minute of the day and reaping in the rewards when it works..instead of pointing a spotlight and knowing Exactly where to cast every time..What @ STUD!! KVD...!

I'm right there with you . I don't tournament fish, but I love to fish and I probably fish two times a week at least . I bring a rod in my truck everyday incase I might throw in some random Place. unfortunately, I'm stuck to the bank right now, but hopefully that'll change. I love it. I don't know. It's like in the DNA

No coffee this a.m., but Mountain Dew before I take my 14 y/o Lab to the Vet for his monthly appointment. You sure managed to get a beautiful day on Berryessa - those submerged trees are my favorite spots to look for bass too! Two days on the water - a definite treat! Nice to see the Big Fish eventually paid off on the second day (probably because there wasn't a net LOL) Thanks for taking us out 😊

"Hi, my name is Greg and I'm addicted to fish slime..." This is healthy for sure. Focusing on tournaments can be fun but it can also warp the heck out of your perspective and you lose touch with the reasons you started fishing in the firstplace. Love the back to backtrips in one video.

What you said about kvd is so true . When you can skip into those places that most anglers aren’t fishing your increase your chances greatly. The problem is dedicating all the time to learn to skip . Especially when you want to just fish .

Thanks for taking us along this year after all the rain there’s fish everywhere it’s been an interesting summer the only bass biting are small fish around 11 to 12 inches but yours always one cast away from a big one so it’s like treasure hunting you know eventually your gunna hit paydirt. I keep seeing fish coming up & breaking water chasing bait but I noticed everyone of them was that same small size. Bass are so aggressive even the little ones try & eat anything I was watching two bass about finger size in a lip lock one was trying to take food away from the other & the small bass I caught was jumping out of the water & had another one following it. But those little fish are everywhere.

I bought the Slayer max 10 and love it, i do think however a slayer max 11 (Exactly 11’) would be perfect. I was torn trying to decide between the 10 and 12.5 and might would’ve went with a 12 as pushing it but the additional 6” on the 12.5 made it too much for me. The value of easy portability and quick load/unload is the main reason for kayak fishing for me. No way I’d be in a Titan 12.5 with two graphs and giant batteries...I’d rather have a boat at that point.
