the whole weekend was made when that kid had that look on his face when you invited him down to the boat.....its awesome that no matter how good or bad you do you treat everyone amazing
When I was a kid I'd watch the Dances, Martins, and Houstons on TV imagining fishing for a living.. I must say , B-Latt you are that vision in the flesh.. Much Respect Sir!!!
Brian, sorry for the tough tournament but I’m so glad I watched to the end. What a kind act making that young man’s day inviting him down to your boat. Class act!
Much respect B Lat for taking time to be an ambassador for the sport and just a good person.Good karma coming your way at next tournament, 10lb'r out there with your name on it.
It’s just the home lake jinx! Exactly why we watch you though, not the best day, but you take it in stride and still find time to do something thoughtful for someone!! Thanks for being a great ambassador for professional fishing!!!!
Brian, you are a class act! Other people would have let a bad day get them down and sulk off. But you took the time to make a couple kids day(probably year) That's why you are my favorite!
You didn't suck! Great work adjusting and not bypassing that school in the morning! My heart was pounding when you were fighting those trap fish. Great video as always!
Brian, I really enjoyed watching this video. I was surprised to see you in your aluminum for the tourny. Guess you been running that glass boat a little to hard losing the lower already.....Keep that head up and go get next time. You are big inspiration to a lot of young folks and what you did with those two boys was awesome. That will keep them coming back and give them something to work for. Thanks for your contribution.
I inboxed you on Instagram to get details straight. I’ll be there for ya for sure!! I may just drive down the food truck and sell from there as well instead of flying. Can’t wait bro!!
The saying goes "The greater the adversity the brighter the light of opportunity." Looks like day one was full of adversity and your positive mental attitude gave you an opportunity on day two. You may not have won the tournament, but you won the life lesson. Much respect to you. Keep doing what you do and inspiring us all.
B.Lat, you have definitely inspired me at working to become a better Angler. Thanks for sharing the good and the not so good times out on the water, us amateurs, being myself need to know there will be good and not so good days. Keep up the amazing work Sir. 💪🏽
Thank you, I am a kayak angler and have had really tuff days at tournaments, nice to know it happens to all of us. Headed to the NC in October 🤞. Tight lines in your future. Glad I found your channel 👍
As a child all I wanted was to be a pro, that didnt work out for me but I love these videos because it really puts it in perspective how difficult it is to win. Some of the other pros post videos also its cool to see the same tournament from multiple perspectives.
One of the realist. The good, bad, and ugly... and everything else in between. Keep representing Brotha! You'll get em on the rebound. Much respect. 🙏🏽👊🏽
B Lat, if you make the Classic in May next year, give me a shout. Ray Roberts is my home lake and I've been catching 8-10 pounders consistently in a "particular spot" that doesn't get a lot of pressure. I am a big fan...tell your sponsors that your fans and viewers love that you're doing. You are a class act, a great angler, and a stand up dad. Keep those videos coming!
Stuff happens , I do not watch you because you win non stop , I watch you because you are a straight up person that says it the way it is and you keep going to better yourself and others .
The Best TH-camr for Bass Fishing. Very grounded and family friendly. My son enjoys watching you. Easier to get him to take your advice (A Pro) vs Me (Dad) telling him info I already got from you lol.
Hey brother i fully support you and i hope to meet you at a tournament one these days. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep bass fishing. Its truly my passion. Im buying my first boat in a few days and i can wait to hit lake hartwell. Keep fishing brother and I'll keep learning from you snd we keep them lines tight. Fish brother.....fish on
It's always cool to see you post a new video always watch your videos especially right before I go out fishing gets me hyped to go out there on the water so just wanted to say loving the videos man and you're my number one fisherman dog
Hang in there buddy!! Keep your head high and keep grindin and I’m certain it will soon payoff for you!! I wish the best of luck to you next tourney B.Lat!!
Every time you do well it feels like you’re just fishing and having fun. Go back, rewatch some of your old vids, and remember when winning was just a byproduct of your fishing addiction 🤗👍🏼. Focus on the way you want your kids and young fans to feel about fishing, and be that B-Lat!
We saw you practicing down in Coneross Creek below the bridge the weekend before the open. Wanted to chase you down & wish you good luck but my son was skiing behind the boat. Trust us, no one was back there during the tournament.
This sounds like my entire month of September out there trying to fish here in NC. Keep it up man, we all learn and grow from times like this. Glad to see it isn't just me.
@@djmyslinski7613 I had been using soft plastics all year as they had been working well until everything moved off the banks and I just couldn't reach them anymore. They started schooling again recently chasing Shad so a $5 rattle shad from walmart was my saving grace last weekend surprisingly.
@@GamesDean21 yep they get keyed in big time this time of year.. the shad they are eating are tiny... I've caught some on shakey heads, c rigs, drop shots, crankbaits... but nothing compared to the 2-2.8 inch shad colored swimbaits.. had some for years never threw them.. been missing out i guess
A lot of respect for you bro. Something gets damaged, and you have to fix it. I'm sure a lot of guys would be complaining if they had to buy a spool of line.
I see you are liking that Whopper popper that Whopper popper can get some fish in the boat for ya. I like the golf tee shot sound when you were changing videos.
05:43----Do you disconnect your kill switch everytime you stop and leave it hooked up to your life jacket? Or do you leave your life jacket in the seat and just slip it back on so it doesn't disconnect everytime?
Sucks to have an outcome like that, so wishing you better days man! I feel like I absolutely can't even buy a Bass-Feesh right now; It's been over a month! I used to earn my living by wins and losses too, so your opportunities to overcome are not mine, but I can relate brother, faint not!
Man I love watching these videos from you. It's helped me calm my reaction when things go south in my kayak tournaments. But man it scares me every time I hear you click that spool release when you're hooked up.😱
WOW...second cameo by the hardest working angler in the OPENS Charley Hartley. He cameo appeared in Scott Martin's VLOG too...Amazing coincidence or fate...!!!
BLat I’m loving the tin rig. I’ve got a 19 ft war eagle with a 150 Merc and a 22 pitch SS prop.. I’m having bad porpoising issues, no chine walk. Anyone out there have some advise?
Some tough fishing on Lake Hartwell is hitting a lot of the guys in the tournament. It looked like you were finding them just having a hard time keeping the small ones off your line. Keep on casting Brian the big ones will start biting. How did you get your break into Bassmasters?
Once you find them the the top water(frog) you gotta have a follow up (clean) lure. One of those three fish would of gone for a lipless rattle lure. I would of picked up all three of them with a sing seenko. 🤦🏻♀️

Good guys too man
When I was a kid I'd watch the Dances, Martins, and Houstons on TV imagining fishing for a living.. I must say , B-Latt you are that vision in the flesh.. Much Respect Sir!!!
Wow!!!! That’s such a big statement
You, Sir, are the definition of a Class Act! Salute!!
Brian, sorry for the tough tournament but I’m so glad I watched to the end. What a kind act making that young man’s day inviting him down to your boat. Class act!
Thanks for being real, BLat. I completely enjoyed how raw and honest this video was!
Much respect B Lat for taking time to be an ambassador for the sport and just a good person.Good karma coming your way at next tournament, 10lb'r out there with your name on it.
Hey B. Lat keep it pushing. You already have a great attitude and state of mind. Perseverance is the key now.
It’s just the home lake jinx! Exactly why we watch you though, not the best day, but you take it in stride and still find time to do something thoughtful for someone!! Thanks for being a great ambassador for professional fishing!!!!
I respect you and how you always keep it real. Thank you!
Dude, your videos are legit. No bs, just fishing. I enjoy them. Hope you find your way to the Elites.
Brian, you are a class act! Other people would have let a bad day get them down and sulk off. But you took the time to make a couple kids day(probably year) That's why you are my favorite!
Best attitude in fishing...Broken boat....It's ok. No fish....better tomorrow. Best in the sport
I know brad hallman needs to take some pointers from Brian forsure
You didn't suck! Great work adjusting and not bypassing that school in the morning! My heart was pounding when you were fighting those trap fish. Great video as always!
Tough day. We all have them. You handled it well.
May have been a tough tournament, but you absolutely made some fans for life!!! Just one more reason I’m pulling for you every tournament.
I like that you show the honest side of fishing. It's not always keepers and huge monsters. Keep it up bro.
Brian, I really enjoyed watching this video. I was surprised to see you in your aluminum for the tourny. Guess you been running that glass boat a little to hard losing the lower already.....Keep that head up and go get next time. You are big inspiration to a lot of young folks and what you did with those two boys was awesome. That will keep them coming back and give them something to work for. Thanks for your contribution.
Rooting for you to make the Classic B!!! Can’t wait to watch you win it!!
If I make it I wanna see you at weigh in!!! Can we make that happen?
Brian Latimer yes!! I’ll be there n bring some Q for dinner!!
Where and when is it B???
I inboxed you on Instagram to get details straight. I’ll be there for ya for sure!! I may just drive down the food truck and sell from there as well instead of flying. Can’t wait bro!!
Man this dude is so selfless! Much respect to him. May not win a tournament but still gives back. great character man.

Love your honesty bro! Some days on the water good some not so good.. Nice to see you showing love to the youngsters too! Keep on keeping on!

That's great.
These kinds of days...tournaments, make the better days and wins so much sweeter. Just keep fishing. Cheers mate
All part of the game.
Stuff happens , I do not watch you because you win non stop , I watch you because you are a straight up person that says it the way it is and you keep going to better yourself and others .
Love that you inspire the next generation and are down to earth. Some pro guys have way too much ego!

Notice how the ladies attitude completely changed when he told her who he was
Yeah huh...
Yeeaaaah.... I caught that, too! 🤨
Whole Demeanor changed.....OHH!!!

Gavin Mcclaren you must have skipped when he calls to find out if his boat was ready

You are the man giving boxes to the young men. The lord watches all we do.
love the use of vintage video/audio you put in these videos
Never give up brian.
:) wishing all the luck to you
Stand up guy!!!! NICE WORK.. keep it up
A lot of respect for you bro. Something gets damaged, and you have to fix it. I'm sure a lot of guys would be complaining if they had to buy a spool of line.
Man I’m so thankful to be fishing I feel stupid complaining even if I finish dead last
I see you are liking that Whopper popper that Whopper popper can get some fish in the boat for ya. I like the golf tee shot sound when you were changing videos.
Nice to give those kids some of your tackle. They’ll never forget that. 👍. Keep grinding!
Pulling for you B.Lat! Keep grinding.
I respect you trying there are not many of us pro fishing
No better way to end my work day than watching B. Lat fishing... 3:30 me please lol
05:43----Do you disconnect your kill switch everytime you stop and leave it hooked up to your life jacket? Or do you leave your life jacket in the seat and just slip it back on so it doesn't disconnect everytime?
Curious why you open the bail / use thumb control rather than drag ?? Time and place for this/ or is this something you do often?
I was gonna ask the same question. Maybe bc he thought they werent hooked that well?
Yeah I saw kvd doing it on a deep crank recently as well. I think it’s to let the fish run without having to play with the drag.
Sucks to have an outcome like that, so wishing you better days man! I feel like I absolutely can't even buy a Bass-Feesh right now; It's been over a month! I used to earn my living by wins and losses too, so your opportunities to overcome are not mine, but I can relate brother, faint not!
Stay up BLat your positivity will keep it all going
Man I love watching these videos from you. It's helped me calm my reaction when things go south in my kayak tournaments. But man it scares me every time I hear you click that spool release when you're hooked up.😱
Great video it looked tough there is always next time
legend sir, looking after the kids
Love all your video man💯💯
Them lipless cranks been kicking up since the bait started moving. Nice vids keep up the hard work
WOW...second cameo by the hardest working angler in the OPENS Charley Hartley. He cameo appeared in Scott Martin's VLOG too...Amazing coincidence or fate...!!!
I've learned a lot from you.... keep on it!
Hoping those kids up at the end with an MTB box and the pure joy from them was awesome! Hopefully it's a W on the next lake
Question regarding Falcon, how does your 205 handle rough water? and what’s the difference between the 205 and predator besides length?
I like too see a 1 on 1 with you and Scott Martin anybody else
Adversity is dope! Keep grinding B-Lat!
Tough tournament for sure, I never could get the bank bite going either. Ended up 55th on the schoolers.
Hi Brian I was wondering why you are always putting the reel in free spool during your retrieve?? Thanks
The frustration at 14:25 😂
Man that 2nd day looked fun! Know it wasnt the size needed but still got on em
Man we caught them literally all day and still had 7-13
keep casting brother!!! better results will come.
I like Blat too! Blat and SMC all the way!
What baitcaster reel you use??
BLat I’m loving the tin rig. I’ve got a 19 ft war eagle with a 150 Merc and a 22 pitch SS prop.. I’m having bad porpoising issues, no chine walk. Anyone out there have some advise?
I’m glad I had it or it could have been much worse
Brian Latimer How you like that 115 on the back? What type of prop? Trying to trouble shoot the issue with my new one.
You doing the GP Green T shuffle Brian
What speed do you get out of that boat with the 115?
43
It’s who ya know , Y’all know that. Nice to have a nice backup though.
I feel like someone's telephone personna is a great way to judge someone's character - Brian checks all the boxes :P
Well I am here watching so ya I care. Go get them Next time!
I hope you do better blat, but you made that kid's day!
Seen these days b4. Hey B. Latt do you ever do videos on West Point.
Some tough fishing on Lake Hartwell is hitting a lot of the guys in the tournament. It looked like you were finding them just having a hard time keeping the small ones off your line. Keep on casting Brian the big ones will start biting. How did you get your break into Bassmasters?
What reel has skinny winn grip handles like that?
New lews that’s so legit
Hey brother you made those kids day. Wasn’t your day. But you did it for someone else.
Once you find them the the top water(frog) you gotta have a follow up (clean) lure. One of those three fish would of gone for a lipless rattle lure. I would of picked up all three of them with a sing seenko. 🤦🏻♀️
Can anyone tell me why he cycles the lock on the reel when he is fighting the fish?
It’s the same concept as loosening the drag, he’s simply trying not to break the fish off on a hard run.
Man I wish I could fish with u. I still haven’t caught anything with my bait caster yet
Stay out there long enough and don’t jus fish the same bait over and over. U will catch something u jus gotta figure out the fish.
