Well Kyle and Hunter I'm little bit older than you two . In the beginning of B.A.S.S. there was magic . Make no mistake it is not the same now . In those days it was about us . These days it's about corporate America . You weren't around then so you don't know . Even you have changed from your earlier videos . Tight lines and always pulling for T.W. !

I had a fishing guide Bob Troupe hired for a spring outing on the Potomac River May late 80s. It had rained for a week and the river was BROWN and swollen. I expected him to cancel but he was confident. He said the fish have adjusted to the conditions and if I wanted to cancel that was ok but he was going fishing! Im glad I went, He taught me that the fish hold tight to cover and we caught Quality fish all day! Thank you Bob Troupe!

Man when you find a hat that fits right you wear it till it falls apart 😂😂

My grandfather used to love fishing west point lake and lake harding after a big rain. He would take me when it rained he would always say they would bite good during a rain.

Your personality is why folks come up to at the boat ramp u dont know cause your humble and not a jackass ...keep grinding kyle pulling for ya this year hope ya get the classic to go with that AOY.👍

Been looking and looking, found you and Ms Hunter and baby W in the background. We don't care about the subject, just keep talking and we will tune in. Your favorite 82 year old fan.

You guy's are right. The only tounaments I watch are the old Basmaster shows from te 80's and 90's. That was cool.

Weather and water clarity are paramount. Always make this top in your mind and decision making.

Last thing…. I watched several of those Bassmaster classic archives or whatever they’re called. Where they didn’t know the lake and it just seem like a good fun exciting time for everyone involved. I agree. Bring that back. I think the fans would eat that up. That’s all I got to say.

Fishing small lakes and ponds with a dmall boat is so much funner. Nothing like wading a creek!

Omg I want one those hats Broham 😀 I called your AOY . I told Ken Duke on his channel that you were my pick ! Ken is a Walters guy , but you and Wheeler are my favorite Anglers ! Loved the video you did with Wheeler ! I see another AOY or a Classic win this year . I’m an old man , but I enjoy how you speak as a young man ! I watched you all day on The NPFL stream ! Good luck this year 😀

Love watching the channel and your right it makes you guys personable Keep it up the great videos Tight lines this year!

This was a great video ! Bass fishing will never be as cool as it was in the old days

Hat variance is such a true thing! Especially Richardsons. Hate when one doesn’t fit me right

The old school style classic would be awesome to watch but it needs to be its own thing you can’t get rid of the classic the way it is now is great.

Hardest part of ledge fishing is getting em to bite once they're beat up. U can find em but making em bite is another deal

This is the first video I've seen of yours but really liked it. You have a new subscriber now. I really miss the old days of fishing. Today is way more technical but the old days had mystery to it. It was way more fun.

Hope you get your first win and back up AOY this year. Always rooting for you bud.

Great video!!! Like the idea Hunter & you had about Bassmasters getting all the same boats so that all anglers have same equipment and go fish. I think it would be a great idea!! Also thanks for the tips on dirty water fishing. Something new I've learned and will remember. 🤠👍 Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

Man I remember when I was one of the ONLY people that went looking for the clear water. I've fished tournaments and It would be me and maybe 3 boats in the clean water. Now EVERYONE looks for the clear water I go looking for the dirty. LOL

Count me in! Anything having to do with bass fishing I am watching. That would be super cool if they did another mystery lake and fly all the anglers to destination. I am pretty good with the history of BASS. I am sure it is kinda weird because I can not only remember the pros names but where they are from. I think I would rule on a BASS trivia game!😂I am definitely digging the Cast TV show. It really brings back a lot of great memories.

As to your statement, its just about who buys the best quality boat/electronics it seems anymore. Ive fished with Legends who I was just happy to be in the back of their boat. Been on stage with Ray Scott. (he was bigger then life). Fisherman from that era had more intuition from using their brains as they didnt have the electronics available today. WE were all surprised when we found out were the winning fish where caught. Now, you just look it up on the internet..

Nice finish in the NPFL. You really showin off the crush city hat while wearing a KW fishing hat and not one word about it. Hunter the hammer was feelin it. Great job Hunter keepin track of lincoln and KDub. I would love to see a elite series charity Husband and Wife trnmt. Know what else I would like to see. The link to those dadgum KW FISHING HATS. #teamwelcher #Nannarocks

Ya'll are craazzzyyyy! Some good ideas for the future of bass fishing. Good luck again this year Kyle and Hunter and little man

Congrats on your 7th place finish on Logan Martin NPFL !!! Always enjoy TEAM WELCHER video productions...keep up the great work & BEST WISHES !!!

Kyle you should give away autographed hats to the subscribers, I know i would personaly love to have one.

Welcher you are the freaking man!! Straight up man!! A guy like me can really appreciate the I don't know realness maybe. Anyways thanks for the truth bombs and just keeping it real brother!!

You're going to love Toledo its on fire and is dirty... Great video as always keepem coming guys!!!

River fishing is Amazing! I will also include sloughs. On an unrelated note. Now that 13 Fishing is no longer retailing the Envy 3 nor the Fuse, as your rods need replacing are you considering the Muse? What are your thoughts overall on that change in [Rapala's] business strategy? 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

Totally agree with the hat comment!! They aren't all the same!

I need one of those hats Kyle . I just bought a lot of the crush city baits

Awesome info and good luck on tour!!

There he is. Been waiting on a new video 💪🏽🎣

I agree not knowing the lake one or 2 tournaments a year would be cool

Keowee Bfl 2020 the week of your first elite had 6” on my deck in 20 min. It dumped lol but they were chewing

Love those baits. Throw one this way!

These are my favorite videos you guys do...keep it up!

I would take a coupe of Hats for sure!😅

Talking about. Having every one on elites. Go somewhere one tournament. 2 rods. Only certain amount of tackle. In the summer drop all you guys off. In the middle. L. K. Of the woods. 😄😄. There’s small an large mouth there. But it’s a. Walleye. Muskie destination

I want a hat!! Lol. I ordered your line from sunline from your AOY. Love the content as always. My dad loves you by the way. Good luck this year bro.

Hahahahaha I'm waiting for the 6th season to drop this month. And I agree Netflix is great on the DocuSeries. We somehow become invested and attached to the the Athletes. BASS should do docuseries on anglers.

I think they should invest more in marketing. For instance a major circuit came to my home lake and unless you were into professional bass fishing you would have never known they were here. Other than the pimp boats driving around. They should pay radio host and TV commercials about it being in town.

Best of luck to you this season 🎉🎉🎉

Mead isn't far from vegas. That should be your go to 🎉

Kentucky lake is a ledge fishing hole!

And crush em’ even better this year…. I understand with the angler of the year trophy that is a tall order. But I would assume that is the goal nonetheless. Good luck to you and God bless.

Kyle man let me try out one of your point blank rods since they are collecting dust. I live in Collierville so at times we're both close to herbs.🤞

HUNTER: make kyle do a video about his run in the opens when he got through.

Bass, the Final Cut

Reserve one of those crush city hats for me. I'll pick it up at Toledo from you 😂

Living the life with a sweet supportive woman. Thats the key to a successful life

🔥Shit!!! But on a serious note I digress you said DT20 tell me? 😅 I need it in TX! As well as ledges ⛽️

Damn, I love y’all’s video, I live on Pickwick, do you live on the Tennessee River too?? It’s been rolling, yeah ledge fishing on Pickwick is just up and down, I fished on it for 40 years

Fuji hat is your lucky hat. You made money moves wearing that hat.

Get together with Jason Lambert on Kentucky Lake for a couple of days, I think you’ll get along really well 🤷🏻‍♂️❤️‍🔥🎣

Dang! I want a hat. I don’t even know where you drive the truck you throw them out of.

Great video brother.

Saltwater flats fishing is where it’s at. No livescope just your eyes.

Hat Variance is a Thing! Agreed 100%

Nice video and I think you should do some give away to some of your subs on the crushcity hats.

Your girlfriend is a good one she knows how a video supposed to work!

Some people don't like dirty water or the cold around here hahaha.

I love dirty water! Why would you not? Call me crazy, but I like cold and dirty. Makes it super tough, but once you figure out what trips their trigger, it's on!

We need a KW PODCAST in fishing 🤌🏻

Let me get a hat. Awesome fishing vids.

Feel free to send some of them hats my way! 😂😂

I need a Crushcity hat Kyle!

Kinda off topic but why has many major whole sellers not selling 13 products in 24?

I've been around awhile started fishing in 90 and I've been eaten up with it ever since then.. Fishing has saved my life quite literally. I can honestly say if something doesn't change with FFS competitive Bass Fishing is gonna change across the board and not just on your level. What is happening with FFS is only bad for the sport and it is that serious. When anglers with no foundation of skills are beating tour level anglers on a regular basis it's a negative thing. Not to mention what is happening with pressure and bass that otherwise would not be getting caught, period. When you can stare at a screen and watch bass react to everything you throw at them in real time nothing good fir the sport is gonna come from that. Many will disagree because FFS makes fishing exponentially easier for them but it's fact.

Are you going to be on Live at Logan Martin Homie? Don't know how or there to follow this other circuit your fishing this year. All I know is The Elites schedule. Good luck on Taledo Bend Daddy KDUB. ❤

Sign one of them hats and send it to me lol

Please consider me for a crush city hat!!! Rooting for you brother!!

Great video

Give me dirty water ! Clear water is for drinkin' ! 🤣

I would love to have a autographed aoy kyle welcher hat!!!

I want a crush city hat Kyle!!!

How about one of them hats signed to add to my collection?????????

The title should be, Bassmaster - Fishing without FFS and I know it sounds WILD n CRAZY, but....what if...they didn't use FFS and scopes for the whole tourney. From what I understand, the reason they stopped doing the surprise lake thing was because it got so big that there were fans that wanted to come and they needed to be able to buy plane tickets and hotels and that ahead of time and lack of knowledge ahead of time made some of the later years of it especially kinda difficult to catch fish and good ones and at that if everyone is just catching lil guys that fan base would dry up.....now they have dried up the fans from coming with all the scoping and sonar. I still go back and watch the old 70s, 80s and 90s Bassmaster classic's, they were the best, before the digital takeover and when the people really used to show up and show out for it, back in the days of the GOAT Rick Clunn, Lary Nixon, Hank Parker, even the prodigy who was taken too soon Bryan Kerchal, those guys would wipe the floor of almost anyone now if there was no scopes or sonar, I'd love to see them do some throwback stuff or a Netflix type of thing like F1 racing. If they wanna go digital they should go FULL SEND into it then or get rid of it.

Can I get one of those hats please Kyle, You might not remember me, i met you on hartwell lake when you was practicing you were near brown road, and I asked you about jigs and you gave me one, and it changed the way I fished I’m grateful for the time that morning

Did you get to pre practice for Toledo Bend? I think it's going to set up perfectly for your strength.

Jason Christie says home court advantage is gone with live scope now. What’s your take on it

Put out the schedule and no practices would be the fire, figuring it out on the fly

Yeet

Can you make a video on how to fish offshore?

So when did y’all have a baby? Didn’t know n hadn’t heard about it.. Congrats i

Hey Kyle I wanna hat buddy!!!!!

Can you explain ledge fishing. Define a ledge

Where can we get the hat your wearing?

I am in

that camera woman's voice, some time you gotta interview her. So we can put a face to the voice.

It’s fun when you don’t deep dive into the corporate side of the fishing industry. Local tournaments and fruit jar tournaments are fun. It’s always nice to go out on the lake on Saturdays as well. Stay away from the corporate side and problem solved.

I’d love one of those hats! How do I scoop one?

I beg for dirty water as soon as the water temperature is consistently over 50.

Why is bass fishing no longer fun? Well it is obvious. Forward facing sonar is the clear answer.

Giveaway time!!

I love dirty water and a Crush City Hat🙏👍❤️‍🔥👍

I love dirty water more predictable

Can’t believe you watch Opra …

The problem with professional bass fishing is it's heading in a direction that isn't relatable to the average fishermen. All these boat walkthroughs of these 300k truck/boat rigs is unobtainable to 90% of fisherman. It's like all the big names in the industry are oblivious to this. (Not saying you are) I just think the average tournament angler or just everyday angler are having trouble finding someone to get behind or see a real chance at doing this because of this.

I don't mind dirty water all.
