Man, I had a blast! My wife and kids are CLOWNING me for being afraid to hold the fish!

This makes me miss fishing with someone who really knows the water. Nothing like having friends that love to hunt and fish. I miss it so much.

“If you feel him, let him feel you” I felt that✊🏿

Great job Ken teaching the new guy. A lot of seasoned fishermen dont realize how patient you have to be with a new fishermen and fisherwomen. Blue gill fishing brings back great memories. Keep up the good work.

Amazing how technology has helped fishing. Kudos for helping your friend. Give a man a fish, feed him once, teach him to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Blue gill are good eating. We used to use a little bobber. First fish I ever caught was a bluegill. We called’em bream. Enjoyed the video.

So yesterday I saw your video on side scanning for bluegill beds. Today my son and I did just what you instructed using our Helix 7. We found the beds and caught some. It was amazing. We were giving each other high 5s. Thank you for your video and great teaching. David

Great video! My brother and I grew up without anybody teaching us. we had to learn it ourself. Good to see you teaching others.

My husband and I are back in SE Arkansas after 30 yrs in the Atlanta, GA. area. We go fishing most days twice a day. Retirement is life. We fish from the bank for whatever is biting except Gasper Goo. LOL, We fish in the tributaries from the Mississippi River. We can't be choosy with no boat but we are praying and saving for one. Fishing is so relaxing.

Good Bluegill bed fishin' . I like ur technique for finding beds... "Catch and release or Catch and grease"... luv it...

I don’t normally watch people fish once they show me what they’re using and how they’re fishing, but I felt like I was in boat with you guys! That fish finder is next level!!!!

“Catch and Release or Catch and Grease” Classic!!!! Imma use that one.

BOY!! a mess of them hand size bluegill with sum smothered potatoes and cutchu a chunk offa fresh red onion... I'll mess around and hurt myself 😆

I like how you make fishin simple and fun😎 another great video.

The commentary and banter is half the fun of your videos - very entertaining

Man, to hear you teach a newcomer to our sport is just awesome! You are gifted with that ability. This has made me so happy for D! Thanks for making my day. Come up to Dale Hollow man. Smallmouth, HUGE black nose crappie, monster bream, best cat fishing in the US, and even giant walleye! My treat Kuz!

Great narration. My favorite part is that you both keep your PFDs on while on the water. Falling out of a boat is no joke. The best swimmer drowns if they bump their head on the boat or a stob/log if/when they fall. Neat use of the fish finding technology.

Great video guys, that was very relaxing to listen to while changing my tackle. I like teaching people how to fish as much as I love fishing myself. Tight lines dudes.

Wow... I'm a 59yo White Dude who's fished for Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass his entire adult life and I'm betting I was only about... 12 or 13 when I last fished for Bluegill. I enjoyed every minute of this video. Thanks for reminding me where I came from while fishing from the Bank of small creeks & ponds with my Grandad here in Missouri.

I grew up loving shows like this ,it's great to see my people's faces. Great video young brothers .keep do n dem

This was my first time watching one of your videos. You did a great job of teaching and explaining what you were doing and had fun at the same time. Great video.

For those who think Largemouth Bass fishing is for the big boys, just realize that they are actually in the sunfish family.. you are essentially fishing for large(mouth) bluegill lmao

Watching you all fish gets me super excited. I’m a country girl, and I haven’t fished in a couple of years. Trust and believe this is my year to reel um in. Real talk, QL

Love to see this brothas...Keep up the good work

I can't believe I've been working so hard I'm just seeing this! Oh wow! I LOVE bluegill!! They are my absolute favorite freshwater fish, bar none! I love them more than crappie. They are so tasty. Thanks for doing this video, Ken. My family gives you a HUGE shout-out! We love all of your videos! It's time for you to hit 20K subs!!!

Love your video! I'm getting ready to take my 14 year old granddaughter on her very first fishing trip so all your info is going to come in handy! Thanks!!

That's crazy how detailed that fishfinder is. Awesome haul

Thank you for that tip! Talking about what things look like on the Helix is really a great tip that most people don’t do. Thank you!!!

I watched this video last night and it gave me the itch to go bust some bream this morning. Awesome video man

Just found your channel You are an excellent teacher

I do love drifting thru Bluegill beds and just going to town. Great Video and excellent instruction.

Wow...flashback to my very first fishing video! Look at me now...a full fledged Hook City Citizen!

Bluegill are some of the best eating!

I love this, absolutely fantastic! I want to go fishing with you guys now! Keep the video's coming!

Love watching your videos. You're so patient. Thanks for another great one!

Gentlemen, I have to say that that video tutorial on Bluegill fishing was spot on and amazing! I only wished that I was there enjoying it all with you both. I grew up fishing the conventional way for Bluegill, Crappie, Catfish and trout, but I eventually moved up to Flyfishing for the fish I typically target which still include all the above species and I have a blast doing it. But nothing will bring you back to your childhood like grabbing your rod and reel or cane poll and a bobber and sliding that red worm on a hook and enjoying the nonstop of bites from fish for hours! Whether your catching to eat or releasing after caught it is a non-stop action that will get your heart rate going and put a big stupid grin on your face wether your 5 yrs old or 50 years old like myself! It will make lifetime memories, so take a young person out fishing and introduce them to Bluegill, Crappie catfish and so on. You will create a fishing monster who will pass knowledge forward to our youth and keep ‘this sport growing strong for many generations and leave a ton of life lasting memories for all to reminisce about! I personally thank you for your service through video, keep up the incredible work! God bless and take care. Bob

Real nice show and I like those little fishing tip for all the beginners! You go guys!

I remember rough fishing days, if I didnt catch anything I would pull out waxworms and a small hook and caught every bluegill in the water! Loved the video. New sub!

Great work, very good in explaining how and what to look for when you out on the water. There was a lot of information in that video. D even did a little dance 🕺🏼after catching his first bream. Good job guys. Enjoy watching, it made me fill like a kid again myself. Can't wait for part 2.Keep up the great work. Fish on! 💯👍👊

Awesome tutorial video ... I really enjoy watching y'all catching them blue gills with a bit of humor from watching D. Keep doing what you do sir.

Good job my friend. There's a lot of good teaching in this video guys take note. I'm ready for part 2

Good tips man, thanks for the video and sharing you'r knowledge!

I just subscribed to this channel simply because it brought back great memories of when I was a boy catching them big farm pond bluegill. Bluegill fishing has become a lost art. Now that I chase bigger fish I can honestly say it aint no more fun than bluegill on light tackle. Awesome video guys and please keep em coming. now I think ill go bluegill fishing tomorrow, thanks.

I haven’t bream fished in 30 yrs I fish for strippers and bass but after seeing this video I will bream fish when it gets warm thanks for showing me what I been missing

You gentlemen are first class. Great video. I wish I was in th boat with you fellas.

Great video, you guys are great together, de is a fast learner and made the video great! Hell I was taught with this one. Thank you.

Love this video 😃 I've been bluegill fishing for over 40 years, still my favorite fish to eat👍 you had me laughing out loud 😂 thank you so much and have a great day 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠

Enjoyed watching this one man. You got that “it” factor for making videos. Thanks

You guys are having Much Fun!

Love how you teach without condescending

Such joy to watch you cut up and catch fish! The best channel on utube! Love fact you passing on tradition of fish and spread joy of fishing!

First of all, I love your videos. Secondly, if you're watching this and don't like fishing for bluegill, WHAT? That's all I fish for anymore. Sure, I catch bass, crappie, catfish ... but gills are fun to catch and great to eat.

Awesome video! Hoping to use these tips over in West Michigan this weekend!

My Dad took us fishing when I was a kid, and the lake was soooooo full of bluegill you could catch em with a bare hook. They were like pirranah . They'd be fighting to get to your hook. LOL That was about 50 years ago in Grass Lake in NY state.

Thank you for the video. Just a couple of down to earth guys having fun catching gills.

Another great video! I had no idea what those were on the side scan. Learn something new every day and I look forward to your next video. Keep up the good work.

Stumbled across this. Loved it! Great job. I’ll be checking out more.

Great video! You are a marvelous teacher. Make more videos...

This rocks bro! I’m enjoying it!

I just learned to feed myself thanks to ya and the good Lord. You keep doing you and much thanks from north Alabama.God bless!

This was a great video. I learned so much, you dropped so many tips. You are a patient teacher, thank you.

Here in Florida, bluegill fishing and mangrove snapper fishing are the most fun for me. Love it. Nice vid 👍🏻

Man that looks fun. Nice job bro.

What a nice dude. Takes time to each his buddy something, didn't mind answering questions, and gives little tips. Got a sub from me man.

Loved the video man. I fish a lot for Bluegill and Bream in May and June up at Lake Eufaula, AL. Got a camp there so I go and stay 2 or 3 days and catch a lot of fish this time of year. Crappie are post spawn and Bluegill and Bream are doing there thing now so its on. I'll have to try out your method of finding the beds. Thanks for all you do for the fishing community!!

Finally a co angler who listens to his coach.unlike my hard headed friends

I ain't ever seen anyone use jig heads with red worms like that, heck yeah man! Thank you sir!

I came up on a funky smell today. Thought it was bluegill beds. Nope, carp beds. There had to be 25 2 foot carp in there. Going to use the side scan from now on. Thanks

Thank you for the information, easy tutorials, and making fishing fun!

Great video . I’m glad you turned guy onto some bream fishing. He will never forget this day.

Hell yeah brother. You can never outgrow bluegill fishing. Great fishing buddy and good job with the tutorials as well. Good eating as well

I fish at least three times a week and my boat will be finished by the end of the month. I will be getting that Hummingbird very soon. Thanks!

Just got on to your channel my brotha..I respect the way you explain things...I'm out in Cali but getting my daughter's into fishing..it's a great bond....respect

This video was very useful - thanks for the tips brother! Usually fishing videos are a whole lot of yelling and screaming but this one was very useful.

Love the video!!! Thanks fo sharing...

You’re a great teacher

Heck yeah !!! Great info on electronics and how to fish um' 👍👍

Ohhh my goodness. I played football with Demetric. He was our quarter back. And safety boy was a beast on the field. I've known him since i was a kid. Crazy im watching this. God bless y'all Got em coach after a big hit. 😂😂😂😂 got em coach. Nice catch D Them big blues are great for a huge catch fish.

Man this video was so much fun to watch, I could watch this all day long. Awesome job.

Bullhead cat and bluegill are every fishermens first catch.

My goodness! My dad and uncle would love to see/ have these! Bring back childhood memories. They use to go fishing all the time and guess who would be waiting for those bad boys to come out the grease? Lol!! Great channel!!

Hello Hook City TV, Them was some of the most colorful, beautiful Bluegills I've seen in a long time. My Grandfather had a house on a lake in Michigan, and we done cleaned it out of those Big Beautiful Bluegills. They were delicious eating, although I wish we had left some for years to come. It was a huge Bluegill bed that was close to a large State Park, which I'm sure also put a ton of pressure on that bed. back in the day people went fishing strictly for food, not like today.

Blue gill fishing is underrated 👍 good video

“Catch & release or catch & grease”

I would go fishing with you guys anytime!! This was great watching and learning. You two had it going on catching em and had a lot of grins and giggles. Made me smile !! Blessings to you!!! Keep hocking them !! Your brother in Christ , randy

Nothing like light tackle bed fishing !!!! Gr8 vid!!!!

Teach them babies. I never clipped the worm before , great trick and was to make them last .

Love your channel... Please do a (Catch,Clean,Cook) I’m hungry. I need some new recipes.😜

I sent this to my nephew and his boys to learn because it's August and the full moon and bluegill and shellcracker are bedding! Great instruction.

The video was great and you sharing a teachable moment that's what is all about. "Keep sharing "

Give a man fish feed him one day teach a man how to fish feed him for life. Great job HAPPY FISHING

Lots of good eating for sure.Ive caught some nice ones in lake erie

Hook City TV: Thank You! Enjoyed and learned! :-)

Went out on my kayak this morning fished a bluegill bed , caught 18 male keepers , 1 red ear .... soo much fun. I’m ready for next week , already can’t wait too find and fish more beds.

Catch and release or catch and grease!?!? Awesome stuff!

Say Ken I'm mad you got the other D out catching bluegill and didn't take this Dee we got some talkin to do. LOL just kidding bro I had to say that before I got all the way into the video Let me watch now

You had me laughing hard brother when you said "Catch and release or catch and grease"

Just found your channel. Something I do is at least once a month during spring and summer is try and give fish to an older person or family that could use them. Wish some of the fishing channels would do that. Helping those can't get out themselves.
