The smallies here love the current, absolutely would be in that kind of skinny water. We were catching 17s"+ in 2 ft of fast water back in late February when the water was freakishly warm at 61 degrees. Great vidja, the shoal bass has been on the bucket list for a few years, thanks for the inspiration!

[@brianathern9154]

Gorgeous river and the Shoalies were on it. Glad you teamed up with John. Fruitful scouting missions are great but add a new favorite species and takes it up a level. Good luck brother and enjoy the ride. Blessings

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Day one tournament video drops tonight at 7:30 PM EST 👊🏻

[@AngryChiropractor]

That put in is the exact spot I caught my first shoalie 15 years ago, glad to see my neck of the woods on here!

[@MrFishingOhio]

Putting the shoalie on my bucket list now!

[@MrGambit-fl4yh]

THANKS FOR SHOWING WHERE I GREW UP............................ALEX..................

[@travisrolando8205]

Great video! Sweet looking fishing spot! It'd be awesome getting to fish with ya someday Alex!

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video beautiful place I can wait till I get a kayak to be able to do some of the river floats and fish

[@Nate_Higgins]

This looks amazing. As a reformed whitewater kayaker and current kayak bass fishing junkie, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s so much fun man!

[@user-gq4op9nk6f]

That’s really gorgeous ❤ Love it
I wouldn’t want to come back home 😂

[@gmanadventurer8892]

I need to get down there and fish those southern rivers, I regret not making the trip down for this tournament.

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Beautiful spot fishing seems to be amazing 👍

[@jigginjaws2155]

Mindblowingly beautiful out here and you should’ve taken a fly rod and some flies. Maybe on another trip out there?

[@heatherlandskron]

great video and great fishing guys!! have a good day and week. god bless

[@PhaizeFishing]

I love it. I hate that I miss the event though, but I’m trying to be at the one in Pennsylvania.

[@c.shoefish]

I need a kayak man. Great video bro.

[@dalereed658]

That was a great video, breathtaking scenery

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@analogoutdoors]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@AaronsOutdoor1]

Glad you got to come down here and catch some shoalies. They are a ton of fun!

[@thelastangler8030]

“Hey the best part is!!” Sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2:10

[@TWC6724]

What a gorgeous river.

[@stephanelavoie2258]

Alex , that’s the kind of rivers I’m fishing in Quebec , and i catch 2/3/4 pounds smallmouth in the same kind of shallow water 💦, especially in may and juin !

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Sounds sick!

[@Wrongomer]

New truck goofin? 👀👀

[@MaineStreamFishing]

Bro this looks so dope… i gotta try this!

[@striperswiper1]

Fish or no fish, what a beautiful trip!

[@MattMillardOutdoors]

That river has some serious Susky vibes! Great video dude

[@BurqueMD]

Awesome!

[@chrislopez7510]

Dang you don't give a crap about that kayak 😂

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s made for it. I told the people over at Crescent I was going to try to break it and they said “you won’t be able to it’s made for it.”

[@zacsparks8539]

Looks allot like the cahaba in Alabama

[@gregcoffey1974]

Right at 17:15 of the video while you where trying to catch a fish you missed the snake swimming right in front of your kayak . Then John walks over and pulls tha kayak up for you..

[@AlexRuddFishing]

That was just a reflection 😁

[@Mjones8383]

Max scent drop shot worm 1/0 hook, that's the deal there.

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

Awesome video!!! What part of the Flint are yall on?

[@BarrettBivensFishing]

what reel size for spinning reel that you use for D worm? I want to try that. Relaxing and watching your video. Awesome catches!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

300

[@JohnZetty]

Beautiful place. I’m just curious what size and specs is that spinning combo.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Check out the pinned comment.

[@basslesschap346]

Do those kyaks float, or do you just take them for a walk every so often ? 🤣

[@elizabethsumpter9129]

👍👍

[@Jaedad]

Do you use a gopro hero 12?

[@AlexRuddFishing]
