Speaking the truth is a rare thing these days. It's why I tune into this channel. Much respect, TC.

Truth is so rare these days. So is genuine people. 2 reasons why I always find myself on your page TC. Great stuff as usual

Todd sometimes people should be called out for now doing the right thing. The truth can hurt at times, but truth will set out free. As far as, Tournament co. go they should be more transparent. I think this will put fisherman at ease. Keep doing what you're doing I enjoy watching.

I watch several KZfaq channels and yours is the absolute best, which is why I became a member to get more content, and help support you in a small way. My opinion on cheating, absolute zero tolerance, period. DQ and ban, if required. Hope our paths cross one day.

the truth and honesty is the best policy about things.

I personally get tired of all the lies and BS on social media… Like one week, Garmin is the best thing in the world, but wait, I change sponsor so now lowrance is better or Phoenix boats are best until you change sponsors, and then all of a sudden icon boats are the best I want to know the truth not who gave you the best deal

Truth is always the best. I hate shady people and/or tour events. I've seen it at all levels.

Best content on the tube. Using the Brain.....what a novel concept. Good job TC.

Todd, I’m a big fan and love your channel! Man, get Strike King to bring back the Timber King. We used to kill the fish in them. I think it was lure that was ahead of its time.

Another great video, i think you really hit it on the head. There is a big difference between whinning and giving the real information.

This is why I watch your videos you tell it like it is thanks

Spot on.

Just wanna say I'm SO STOKED to hear about your next video on reading maps brother, exactly the type of content that makes a real difference to learning to catch fish

I get the idea , but when I see any fisherman on tube catching fish bragging about the bait I tend to tune out. To me the brand of bait means nothing, as I have no sponsor and have no axe to grind. Almost every bait brand now has some version of bladed jig, crankbait, etc. The original still works as well as ever, even though that brand now has about twenty different versions. I don't really care what brand of bait they caught the fish on. I just want to learn to use that style of bait in different situations. Not only baits, but just about all tackle, rods, reels, boats, trolling motors, etc. Keep telling us the truth Sir. Most of us appreciate what you are doing.

",Keeping it Real' sounds like a silly meme, but it's actually just a good compass to use as you navigate life.

That was one of the best descriptions of what bass fishing has become, great job!!!

Be positive and truthful but be prepared for the negatives and lies. Wisdom is a powerful asset. Good message.

That’s why I like watching your channel Todd, we need more people like you, just being real.

Nothing wrong with telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Good or bad, positive and negative, all aspects of the truth are important to hear. Especially coming from someone who is professionally involved in the sport. Don't ever quit and don't ever sugar coat the truth. Greetings from Royal AR. 👍🇺🇸

I don't normally comment on YT videos. But I couldn't agree more! Keep it real Todd. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it needs to be told.

This is why i love your channels,always get the truth and thats unheard of these days,and in fishing industry its always hide the truth no matter if your talking baits or where or how u caught em and chesting seems to always get covered up,people scared to call others out even at the small ckub levels,sad really,great video Todd

This topic right here is so on point. I dont care if its negative, I want the real. The point you made about pros being way too into positivity for too long is soooo right. Thats one of the reasons the tournament scene has basically zero credibility at this point. The fact that youre willing to talk about this stuff, and even willing to say you're just doing the best you can do, is why I love this channel.

Heck yeah talk the truth don’t hide it.

Thanks Todd , this is why I watch your channel because its cerebral stuff. I got really irritated with other channels where when they go live I see a ;ot of know it all keyboard warriors making nasty comments about individuals that I know are not true and that kind of stuff turns me off ,so much so I don't watch their channels anymore, I mean just total slander as far as I am concerned . You are fact based and I appreciate it.

Thanks for your honesty. That is why I watch you. You put out the real stuff.

Dpeak on it bro truth

Truth. I’ll watch it tomorrow though 😂

Todd, I think the truth about cheating needs to be told. Nobody likes to paid their hard earned money to have it stolen from them. I am not so sure I understand why the two main tournament organizations are so scared to make it public that someone has been caught cheating. Not only do they need to make it public but there also needs to be some kind of penalty, punishment and or a fine levied against said angler. In all other major sports that I can think of when someone is caught cheating it is made public, so why is fishing any different? Especially i this day in age were there are more fishermen then ever. So if you make a fisherman sit out the rest of a season for something that he or she had done, it will also it well help us police our sport that we all love so much better.

That's the great thing about your videos. You can tell your a straight shooter. There's only a couple out dies. You Ben Milliken, Tactical Bassin are the main ones I listen to on a regular basis.

Me too, I wanna know the truth in any situation. What the good , bad , ugly & everything in between. Everything has positives & negatives that's just the way it is. I hate candy coated BS. It's not reality. Which is where I live...

I love that your honest and candid with your videos! #1 reason I’m a subscriber!

Todd!!! The intro song is a good song! That's cool you know that one. The truth of cheating needs to be talked about more. Especially local tournaments too. In Missouri we have a group of guys that run baskets on LOZ, TABLEROCK. And Pomme. Can't do anything about it because they are tight with some curtain people.

Love this video.... Point taken about raising your kids... yes.. be positive but tell the truth... just because you tell them not everyone out here is for you doesn't mean I'm down on humanity.. A+++..

Gotta learn to deal with the negative in life. Everything ain't always peachy

Please keep speaking the truth it is appreciated

I definitely need the map vid 👍

💯💯💯💯💯

Outstanding mindset....a negative opinion is tiresome and poisonous...but a TRUTH that has negative impacts on peoples lives MUST be spoken about openly and without fear. The fishing industry seems to be afraid of the light of truth. I dont undrstand why guys arent doing the simple math...its all RIGHT in front of them.

The part where you touched on people maybe complaining that you talk in circles sometimes, that got me thinking, everyone has different personalities and thank goodness for that, it would not be a fun world if we were all the same. Knowing that, we can pick at each other about and have a laugh and move on. Those of us who are experienced anglers will watch your videos often times for just one sentence or a 5 minute segment that will make the light bulb go off for us.

The Raw & Uncut series thanks Todd 😂

Enjoy your videos! Thanks for shooting us straight!

Social media has definitely changed the landscape

Just keep doing what you do!

Being Positive is not a bad thing but like you said there is always negatives. Nothing ever gets fixed until you take an honest look at what is wrong. I have yet to hear you say something negative about an issue without having at least an idea on how to fix it. For those of us who are problem solvers the way to fix it starts with 1 idea then you can try it or get others and figure out what will work best and tweak your plan to suit the situation. Unfortunately with Truth now, there is the Truth and My Truth. The ones who scream the loudest typically are screaming My Truth.

Tell IT Like It Is! 😊

It’s easy just to pin someone as negative and not deal with the truth. It’s everywhere now.

I would like to see something on the line of what to look for or where to start different times of the year. When you only get to fish one or twice a week.

Thanks.

Please give me the truth. If I want positive I'll go listen to Joel olsteen.

Totally agree. I fish mostly from a kayak now than a boat but man it’s terrible in the bass kayak / tournament world.

Have you heard about the resort they are about to build on Texoma? 19 miles of shoreline

TODD THE CLIP THAT SET YOU OFF WHAT WAS IT????

Hey Todd, I watch every one of ur videos.Ur probably my favorite one. The best videos u have done are Alabama waters and deep waters.If nobody can learn from those , they will learn nothing.Im 73 and have fished tournaments since 1973.I live in central texas and of my tournaments are on Belton, Stillhouse, Whitney, and Waco.Cant wait til the next tournament video.Thanks for a great channel, but I agree with Upshaw, ur topwater walk bait is ragged looking!! Maybe that's why it works lol!

I want to be able to catch fish.

Were you on the KZfaq channel last night? I don't want to assume. But that is the other part to what I was saying. I was saying all this positive stuff because I think a lot of people get stuck too negative at times. And some people just stay there when there should be a type of balance that has positive and negative. It's like positive get in certain way's of thinking and by speaking all this positivity I was hoping someone would cover the negative side to because the saying is true got to have negatives sometimes to make positives. I put it this way because it covers so much and makes stuff so much better and I know there are a lot people out there that aren't going to understand this and a lot that are. So I was actually hoping someone would talk about the otherside to because it takes both make positivity at times.

I like your vids though sir.

We understand Todd you can't fully tell us the truth but I have a good idea been fishing tournaments for years the best shlt ever is the Mike Long deal just saying there's more from FLW and bass as well so called pro's 😂

Austin of the Safeway University Craigslist I hide my shirt over words are you sort of already asked for tomorrow

Jesus said truth will set u free…… not positivity

I think professional bass fishing is circling the drain, give it 5 years, enjoy the decline.

Omg lol I agree but you just rambled for 15 mins with out telling us what specifically set you off. Now make another vid right now and tell us the truth.

I bought 6-Halo rods on sale a few years ago. Less than just a few months every single Halo rod broke for no reason what so ever. I contact some Halo rep in Florida that had a strong accent and he was trying to make out like I had done something wrong. He finally agreed to send me 1 rod and at that point I had 4 out of the 6 broke. The other 2 broke for no apparent reason again shortly after. I tried to contact them again and found out they had sold their company. I sent a message or email on one of their platforms to see if they would compensate me for at least one more rod. I think they blocked me from Instagram for saying something in their comments. The one rod they did send me has been a great rod and if they had just at least sent me one more rod I would have shut my mouth. Again the one rod they sent me is a killer rod but you don’t buy 6 rods and all break for no reason. Anyway I am through complaining but just thought this was a good video to do it!🤬😡😤
