@@mackjenkins7721 It's not comfortable at all on my feet. You can see I only get about a 3rd of my foot on the rest and after 3-4hrs it starts to hurt and doesn't provide much bracing.

@@mackjenkins7721 have a great time in your trip

@@dustinevansfishing Thanks you so much for that . I appreciate that . I will let my buddy know that . That was the same problem that I was having too man . I was thinking that it was me because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are being 6 1/2 inches wide . But I see that I am not the only person who have that problem . Question do you have wide feet 🦶 ?

@@dustinevansfishing Thanks you so much for that buddy . I Definitely will have a lot of fun . It will be better if my buddy find a kayak 🛶 by than so he can go with us .

@@mackjenkins7721 you've got me beat by a couple in. probably.

@@joranjengatfishing thanks for the comment

@@mackjenkins7721 thanks I was lucky it didn't make it in one of the brush piles.

@@REPHETIC i still remember my first spook. Had the line tie straight off the nose in yellow with the white bones down the sides.

@@dustinevansfishing Also, my first Musky bait, a Poe's wooden spook. Bout wore it out.

@@mackjenkins7721 I put all bass that are 15in or bigger back. At least until there's too many 15in bass then I'll up the size to18in. I appreciate your comments likes and views. It's a short walk to the lakes so no footwear is needed. Until it gets cold

@@mackjenkins7721 Good enough here. It's part of the filming process to lose a few.

@@dustinevansfishing that is true buddy .

@@Jp_Fishing1 I appreciate it. I'll keep it coming.

It's a small lake that has too many bass in it. If the small bass aren't culled the population will suffer. I've been doing this for over a decade and have actually caught bass that are growing their fins back. And I've watched bigger bass(3-10lbs) feed on bass that I've finned. I don't recommend this on public lakes because of length limits.

Private lake i have no problem. But please don't do this on public water ways

@@timweyers4798 i don't. If the law allows I'll keep below slot fish. I actually had a game warden ask me to do this and keep all bass under slot in a state lake. I didn't I did keep around 90 ate some stocked the others(FL hybrid) and don't worry only in private lakes.

@@mackjenkins7721 occasionally I go over to Arkansas to fly fish for trout out of my kayak. Sometimes I camp depending on the time of year.

I'm glad y'all enjoyed it. And if you want to tell your son that is you catching these bass that's fine by me, just take him fishing sometime.

@dustinevansfishing I told my son the True that it wasn't me . He thought that it was me because we are the same size for big dude & you was fishing 🎣 barefooted 👣 on the kayak 👣 like I do so he Thought that it was me . I do a lot of things barefooted 👣 or in flip flops 🩴 so that why he was thinking that . Question buddy ? I was just curious buddy do you wear anything like sandals or flip flop 🩴?

​@@mackjenkins7721if I have to. Tennis shoes for work, Crocs for general public, Muck boots in the cold/wet winter (see previous videos)

@dustinevansfishing oh OK ! I can't wear tennis shoes at all because shoes are made for toes that are at a 45° Degrees angle and my toes are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe & I can only footwear open toes footwear . I can barely fit into my flip flops 🩴because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps . That is awesome man you got crocs man . I like crocs but they just won't fit me because they crush my 4/5 toes because of how evenly straight across my toes are. I friends of mine told me to get a pair & just cut a Section out of the toes box area of the crocs for the rest of my toes to hang out for comfort . It may look funny seeing some toes hanging out of the crocs but it would fit me comfortably . My other problems is finding my size . I am a sz15 6 E wide . I seen some crocs in a sz15 so I know that they have them . Just curious what sizes are you man? That awesome that you have crocs man cuz 5 of my boys have crocs that they love to wear in the winter time barefooted 👣 & my 6 son his foot is just like my feet 🦶 are he has toes that are Evenly straight across too that makes his feet 🦶 very very extremely wide feet 🦶 too . Me & my 6 boys we are barefooted 👣 / flip flops 🩴guys . We don't wear socks or shoes unless it's very very extremely cold weather outside Then my boys will wear there shoes & socks but for me I don't own a pair of shoes or socks because they will not fit on my feet 🦶because of how extremely wide my feet 🦶 are & how my toes are Evenly straight across . It really really Sucks having toes that are Evenly straight across man. I wish my toes were at a 45° Degrees angle so that they would fit into a pair of shoes . I appreciate you talking with me buddy .

@@mackjenkins7721 TN

@dustinevansfishing Oh OK . I am a Truck 🚛 driver and I Drive through tennessee a lot going & come from Dallas texas .

How do you keep it below the water?

@@ImBACONATERPIG you point the rod down....

Thanks that's good advice. But it's better video if I can get a few jumps. In tournaments I always keep my rod tip down unless there's extremely heavy timber or dock cables.

@@dustinevansfishing yeah that's fair haha you do what ya gotta do I understand that

​@@ImBACONATERPIGit's not always going to work but keeping your rod tip low to the water or sometimes submerged and (for me) constantly reeling helps keep bass from jumping but it's a wild animal and will do what it wants.

Thanks. I'll have new videos in the next few days

@@dustinevansfishing nice man. I will be looking forward to watching it.

It's odd how some go vertical some horizontal and some dive for the bottom. This one must have spent time snatching dragon flies

@@taylorbussey4488 nope. West TN

@@mackjenkins7721I thought I was duck footed. Glad you enjoyed the video. Doesn't look like I'll have many chances to fish in the rain anytime soon.

@@dustinevansfishing LOL LOL you very wide feet 🦶 too ?

@@mackjenkins7721 4E are tight

@@dustinevansfishing Oh wow man. You are up there right behind me. Just curious what sizes are you?

@@mackjenkins7721 10. 1/2-11

Your welcome. As far as fishing kayak videos go I don't think I've seen one that's an actual kayak. They're all what I call a 1 person boat. 5k+ for a yak kinda defeats the main reason, cost, I started using a kayak to fish

Thankfully we didn't have to run and I had made sure if we needed cover it wasn't far away.

Thank you. I'll keep them coming. And hopefully have better.

It's odd. Sometimes these pond bass fight with everything they have sometimes they just give up like "yeah you got me now take a pic and let me get back to business"

@@dustinevansfishing Haha yeah the latter is what I'm used to with largemouths :). The stream smallmouths I catch fight like demons.

At the time just my android phone. I held my phone in one hand and the rod in the other using my last 2 fingers to reel up slack. Not the easiest way and I lost a few doing it. But I've upgraded to a GoPro 12.

Thanks. I'm still in the learning stages, missing shots, accidentally deleting video and camera over sites. I'll keep them coming

Somewhere between 4 1/2 and 5lbs

That's the only reason that small lake has the quality it does. The 12-15 inchers are for the skillet.

It was until it wasn't.

My partner and I actually doubled up right after the hail moved on.

If you're not out there you can't catchem. It does help to have access to water with quality bass

The bass is pretty big too😊

And there's at least 1 that's bigger in this small lake
