the whole weekend was made when that kid had that look on his face when you invited him down to the boat.....its awesome that no matter how good or bad you do you treat everyone amazing

When I was a kid I'd watch the Dances, Martins, and Houstons on TV imagining fishing for a living.. I must say , B-Latt you are that vision in the flesh.. Much Respect Sir!!!

You, Sir, are the definition of a Class Act! Salute!!

Brian, sorry for the tough tournament but I’m so glad I watched to the end. What a kind act making that young man’s day inviting him down to your boat. Class act!

Best attitude in fishing...Broken boat....It's ok. No fish....better tomorrow. Best in the sport

Much respect B Lat for taking time to be an ambassador for the sport and just a good person.Good karma coming your way at next tournament, 10lb'r out there with your name on it.

Notice how the ladies attitude completely changed when he told her who he was

Thanks for being real, BLat. I completely enjoyed how raw and honest this video was!

Hey B. Lat keep it pushing. You already have a great attitude and state of mind. Perseverance is the key now.

I respect you and how you always keep it real. Thank you!

You didn't suck! Great work adjusting and not bypassing that school in the morning! My heart was pounding when you were fighting those trap fish. Great video as always!

Brian, you are a class act! Other people would have let a bad day get them down and sulk off. But you took the time to make a couple kids day(probably year) That's why you are my favorite!

Dude, your videos are legit. No bs, just fishing. I enjoy them. Hope you find your way to the Elites.

May have been a tough tournament, but you absolutely made some fans for life!!! Just one more reason I’m pulling for you every tournament.

These kinds of days...tournaments, make the better days and wins so much sweeter. Just keep fishing. Cheers mate

The saying goes "The greater the adversity the brighter the light of opportunity." Looks like day one was full of adversity and your positive mental attitude gave you an opportunity on day two. You may not have won the tournament, but you won the life lesson. Much respect to you. Keep doing what you do and inspiring us all.

As a child all I wanted was to be a pro, that didnt work out for me but I love these videos because it really puts it in perspective how difficult it is to win. Some of the other pros post videos also its cool to see the same tournament from multiple perspectives.

Brian, I really enjoyed watching this video. I was surprised to see you in your aluminum for the tourny. Guess you been running that glass boat a little to hard losing the lower already.....Keep that head up and go get next time. You are big inspiration to a lot of young folks and what you did with those two boys was awesome. That will keep them coming back and give them something to work for. Thanks for your contribution.

Man this dude is so selfless! Much respect to him. May not win a tournament but still gives back. great character man.

I like that you show the honest side of fishing. It's not always keepers and huge monsters. Keep it up bro.

It’s just the home lake jinx! Exactly why we watch you though, not the best day, but you take it in stride and still find time to do something thoughtful for someone!! Thanks for being a great ambassador for professional fishing!!!!

Thank you, I am a kayak angler and have had really tuff days at tournaments, nice to know it happens to all of us. Headed to the NC in October 🤞. Tight lines in your future. Glad I found your channel 👍

B.Lat, you have definitely inspired me at working to become a better Angler. Thanks for sharing the good and the not so good times out on the water, us amateurs, being myself need to know there will be good and not so good days. Keep up the amazing work Sir. 💪🏽

B Lat, if you make the Classic in May next year, give me a shout. Ray Roberts is my home lake and I've been catching 8-10 pounders consistently in a "particular spot" that doesn't get a lot of pressure. I am a big fan...tell your sponsors that your fans and viewers love that you're doing. You are a class act, a great angler, and a stand up dad. Keep those videos coming!

Love your honesty bro! Some days on the water good some not so good.. Nice to see you showing love to the youngsters too! Keep on keeping on!

Love the old BASS intro!

Tough day. We all have them. You handled it well.

That was awesome Brian! Those boys were so happy ! 👍

It's always cool to see you post a new video always watch your videos especially right before I go out fishing gets me hyped to go out there on the water so just wanted to say loving the videos man and you're my number one fisherman dog

That's fishin. Your day will come again B., I know you'll keep on keepin on. God bless you and yours!

the two young guys you gave the boxes to will never forget that day and that's what it all REALLY ABOUT. That's great.

Brian, you know what was missing??? LITTLE DEBBIE cakes! Best of luck on the next tourney and thanks for the great videos!

B.Lat my guy keep inspiring brother✊🤟💪

Thanks B-Lat!!! Keep Grinding!!! 👍🏾

Hang in there buddy!! Keep your head high and keep grindin and I’m certain it will soon payoff for you!! I wish the best of luck to you next tourney B.Lat!!

That was awesome what you did for the kid , we need more like you

Love that you inspire the next generation and are down to earth. Some pro guys have way too much ego!

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! Just keep trucking BLat!

Hey brother i fully support you and i hope to meet you at a tournament one these days. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep bass fishing. Its truly my passion. Im buying my first boat in a few days and i can wait to hit lake hartwell. Keep fishing brother and I'll keep learning from you snd we keep them lines tight. Fish brother.....fish on

You made those young men’s day! Much respect to you for that and a great attitude!

Every time you do well it feels like you’re just fishing and having fun. Go back, rewatch some of your old vids, and remember when winning was just a byproduct of your fishing addiction 🤗👍🏼. Focus on the way you want your kids and young fans to feel about fishing, and be that B-Lat!

One of the realist. The good, bad, and ugly... and everything else in between. Keep representing Brotha! You'll get em on the rebound. Much respect. 🙏🏽👊🏽

Stuff happens , I do not watch you because you win non stop , I watch you because you are a straight up person that says it the way it is and you keep going to better yourself and others .

You are a good man b Lat. your luck will change soon bud. Hope you are a santee in a few weeks and I will try to say hello. God bless!

Things just happen ! Keep the faith strong !

Excuses are the tools of the weak and incompetent... get em B! We appreciate you bro.

The Best KZfaqr for Bass Fishing. Very grounded and family friendly. My son enjoys watching you. Easier to get him to take your advice (A Pro) vs Me (Dad) telling him info I already got from you lol.

We saw you practicing down in Coneross Creek below the bridge the weekend before the open. Wanted to chase you down & wish you good luck but my son was skiing behind the boat. Trust us, no one was back there during the tournament.

B Lat you are the man it’s home lake curse sometimes keep yah head up there’s a lot of us rooting 4 you bud

Just always remember what you taught all of us. ADVERSITY IS DOPE!

Man I love watching these videos from you. It's helped me calm my reaction when things go south in my kayak tournaments. But man it scares me every time I hear you click that spool release when you're hooked up.😱

I like too see a 1 on 1 with you and Scott Martin anybody else

Your a class act B, love your attitude. Rock solid !!!

A lot of respect for you bro. Something gets damaged, and you have to fix it. I'm sure a lot of guys would be complaining if they had to buy a spool of line.

You are the man giving boxes to the young men. The lord watches all we do.

love the use of vintage video/audio you put in these videos

This sounds like my entire month of September out there trying to fish here in NC. Keep it up man, we all learn and grow from times like this. Glad to see it isn't just me.

Never give up brian. :) wishing all the luck to you

Rooting for you to make the Classic B!!! Can’t wait to watch you win it!!

Pulling for you B.Lat! Keep grinding.

Look at the power of the name B Lat! Lady on the phone was oh he's busy, well this is B Lat... Oh!! Hi!! 😁

I see you are liking that Whopper popper that Whopper popper can get some fish in the boat for ya. I like the golf tee shot sound when you were changing videos.

Nice to give those kids some of your tackle. They’ll never forget that. 👍. Keep grinding!

Sucks to have an outcome like that, so wishing you better days man! I feel like I absolutely can't even buy a Bass-Feesh right now; It's been over a month! I used to earn my living by wins and losses too, so your opportunities to overcome are not mine, but I can relate brother, faint not!

Them lipless cranks been kicking up since the bait started moving. Nice vids keep up the hard work

Love all your video man💯💯

WOW...second cameo by the hardest working angler in the OPENS Charley Hartley. He cameo appeared in Scott Martin's VLOG too...Amazing coincidence or fate...!!!

I've learned a lot from you.... keep on it!

I respect you trying there are not many of us pro fishing

Stand up guy!!!! NICE WORK.. keep it up

Great video it looked tough there is always next time

Hoping those kids up at the end with an MTB box and the pure joy from them was awesome! Hopefully it's a W on the next lake

No better way to end my work day than watching B. Lat fishing... 3:30 me please lol

Stay up BLat your positivity will keep it all going

legend sir, looking after the kids

Man that 2nd day looked fun! Know it wasnt the size needed but still got on em

Tough tournament for sure, I never could get the bank bite going either. Ended up 55th on the schoolers.

The frustration at 14:25 😂

❤️

Curious why you open the bail / use thumb control rather than drag ?? Time and place for this/ or is this something you do often?

Adversity is dope! Keep grinding B-Lat!

I feel like someone's telephone personna is a great way to judge someone's character - Brian checks all the boxes :P

Question regarding Falcon, how does your 205 handle rough water? and what’s the difference between the 205 and predator besides length?

Hi Brian I was wondering why you are always putting the reel in free spool during your retrieve?? Thanks

It’s who ya know , Y’all know that. Nice to have a nice backup though.

Some tough fishing on Lake Hartwell is hitting a lot of the guys in the tournament. It looked like you were finding them just having a hard time keeping the small ones off your line. Keep on casting Brian the big ones will start biting. How did you get your break into Bassmasters?

keep casting brother!!! better results will come.

05:43----Do you disconnect your kill switch everytime you stop and leave it hooked up to your life jacket? Or do you leave your life jacket in the seat and just slip it back on so it doesn't disconnect everytime?

adversary is dope

Once you find them the the top water(frog) you gotta have a follow up (clean) lure. One of those three fish would of gone for a lipless rattle lure. I would of picked up all three of them with a sing seenko. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dang sorry to hear. Shoulda stuck with the Yammie dawg. 😢

You doing the GP Green T shuffle Brian

Man I wish I could fish with u. I still haven’t caught anything with my bait caster yet

Hey brother you made those kids day. Wasn’t your day. But you did it for someone else.

What baitcaster reel you use??

Hey you'll bounce back even stronger next time out.

Head up tomorrow is another day and it will be better.

I hope you do better blat, but you made that kid's day!

Hey B.Lat what color lenses would you recommend for fishing?

Well I am here watching so ya I care. Go get them Next time!
