Great video. I too struggle on videos when I don’t hammer em. Like how you set this up and edited. Thanks for shout out! I’m humbled. See you around. 👍🏻🎣
Wow thanks for sharing your tournament wows. Its always refreshing to here the truth of fishing not just the inflated TH-cam stories out there of everything is great, catching mega bags, and never having issues. Your honesty is why I subscribe and proudly display your sticker on the back of my truck next to Debo's sticker!!
Thanks it was a beat down but I’m fishing lakes that are new to me and learning. I’ve learned so much about these lakes and hope next year will be much different
Glad to see someone else is honest about their difficulties in finding bait on that lake. I recently graphed for 10 hours and only found one small bait ball at 80 ft deep. I'm determined, however, to figure it.
It sounded like you were describing my weekend! Truck trouble, rough weather dearing my tournament that I zeroed in. One bite all day! It happens. Get them next time! #100percentwatchsquad
Thanks for sharing, I’m sitting at Dale Hollow now July 4 so caught the title and just seeing this video. So much appreciate the discussion around this experience way more than watching someone just catch fish. Now if I can just catch a fish! I am seeing the shad balls.
Thank you for watching. It was a tough season for me. I learned a lot though and I've been working on those things this year. So I hope we kick it next year.
Ha ha my cousin took us across captains bay at 50 knots in a dingy with 3 ft swells, the slapping of the waves against the hull was super loud but a wet and wild ride. But of course Alaskans on the island’s are used to wild weather and deadly sea’s! My family there must subsistence fish to eat well through the winter and no one understands a disappointing fishing and what it means. I know you feel you have a lot on your shoulders brother but there will be more days to show case your skills. Till then I still appreciate the tips and advice it sure has helped since I started bass fishing five years ago! 36:47
#100percentwatchsquad brother you've had one heck of a rough year! I appreciate you putting it all out there and telling how it really goes sometimes for tournament anglers. I hope things get better moving forward and I look forward to seeing more tournament videos.
#100percentwatchsquad loves the tournament stories! I am super proud of you man! Like you said, you earned your stripes. You gotta start rough and move up from there, and I think you got that part out of the way and can just focus on fishing.
Thanks for sharing your experience Hank. I wish it could have went better for you, but like you said, its fishing. Keep grinding away and learn from what happened. You rock Hank!!
thanks so much for sharing! The breakdowns is sooooo frustrating in a tournament - been there done that! I know you feel all the pressure - keep up the great work! Looking forward to some more!
I didn't realize that the tournaments were only one day. I thought they were two or three. Are you allowed a dead stick rod with like a hair jig on it just bouncing with the waves.
Seems like everything that could go wrong went wrong. Don't need that much stress. Hopefully you're better prepared mentally next time. So you have more fun.
Glad to see you made it out safely! I had my PFD go off/auto inflated due to spearing a wave that swamped the boat. That day was the worst day of my life.
I fished my first BFL on Norris lake as a co angler and my boater bed fished all day. He got 11 pounds and I couldn't hardly cast and would up with Zero so I quit the BFL. I might try it again next year but it will be as a boater. Its too much money to pay to not be able to fish. Sorry you had a bad run too brother 🎣🔥 #100percentwatchsquad
My link Jerry has been the perfect example of how you can still catch’em no matter what your boater is doing. Don’t complain just find a ways to catch’em that’s your job as a co. His first boater was dropping and he still caught’em and classed a check.
@BassGeek easier said than done. You dont understand the whole situation He had the back if the boat in trees. I wasn't complaining I was stating facts.
That is all u can do buddy o ya my boy won his school tournament championship yesterday on Douglas 1st and big fish so him and his partner is the 2023 champion
#100% baby steps brother, u don't just jump on the scene and become the next KVD, it takes time lots of time. But it kind of upset me that u were worried about impressing the geeks, stop that and go have fun, just FISH!!!
Great video. I too struggle on videos when I don’t hammer em. Like how you set this up and edited. Thanks for shout out! I’m humbled. See you around. 👍🏻🎣
I wanted it to be more vlog but I lost so much footage and anytime sir

Ill tell you this, the link you've got is one of the best guys you can share a boat with!! Spent many a day in a boat with him and learned a ton!

Main thing is y’all got home safe. Keep grinding Hank. Your time will come
Yes indeed and we will roll on
#100percentwatchsquad great to see you on that crazy day one ! Nicole is an absolute hammer !
It was crazy
Glad to see someone else is honest about their difficulties in finding bait on that lake. I recently graphed for 10 hours and only found one small bait ball at 80 ft deep. I'm determined, however, to figure it.
I finally found’em and figured it out but man it was different
It sounded like you were describing my weekend! Truck trouble, rough weather dearing my tournament that I zeroed in. One bite all day! It happens. Get them next time! #100percentwatchsquad
Shew it was a lot of crap going wrong.

Hey sometimes it goes as planned and sometimes it goes off the rails

I was saying the same thing on that lake. LOL
Thought day. It’s all about learning lessons and implementing changes as a result.
An man did I learn in the first one
Thank you for sharing. Moving from team tournaments to fishing Volunteer division this year as a boater. Excited!
Thank you for watching. It was a tough season for me. I learned a lot though and I've been working on those things this year. So I hope we kick it next year.

Great video hank, keep'um coming..
Thank ya sir
Dam Hank you are just like me, if it wasn’t for bad luck I would have no luck at all. Thanks for being real and thanks for sharing
You can say that’s twice
Been fishing the bfl for over 20 years brother you will have years like that but I promise you they will get better just hang in there
Like I said just earning my strips.
Hank, hated that the Green Gobblin went down and hate you took a tumble. Be careful out there we older guys don’t heal like we used too. #100PWS
It’s all good we made it
Hopefully it only gets better from here. Rooting for ya' Hank, just keep grinding bro! #100percentwatchsquad
Man it can’t get much worse
Thanks for sharing your experience Hank. I wish it could have went better for you, but like you said, its fishing. Keep grinding away and learn from what happened. You rock Hank!!

Hang in there!
I'll keep grinding.
thanks so much for sharing! The breakdowns is sooooo frustrating in a tournament - been there done that! I know you feel all the pressure - keep up the great work! Looking forward to some more!
Man I just really blew the first one
Lot of bad breaks, but it makes a real good story. Hammer down on Cumberland!!
Hopefully the footage is good so it will be more of a vlog
Growing pains for sure. And a fall, getting hurt and bustin' rods. A beatdown for sure. You'll do better on the next one. #100percentwatchsquad 🤘😎🎣
Earning my strips just have to make it through
Everybody has bad tournaments, I have more bad than good but it’s a learning experience.
Yes it is and I learned a ton
Great video buddy! Thanks for sharing, even though the first two tournaments were tough. Keep grinding! You are gonna win one soon! #BassGeek rocks!
Hey I just want to put 5 in the boat first
Tournaments can humble the best. My wife told me as I was leaving for a tourney yesterday. Just Fish!! I did came in fourth. Hang in there buddy!!
Yeah It’s tough
I didn't realize that the tournaments were only one day. I thought they were two or three. Are you allowed a dead stick rod with like a hair jig on it just bouncing with the waves.
Yea you can dead stick ya just can’t troll
Seems like everything that could go wrong went wrong. Don't need that much stress. Hopefully you're better prepared mentally next time. So you have more fun.
Yeah there was no happiness in Mudville those tournaments
Glad to see you made it out safely! I had my PFD go off/auto inflated due to spearing a wave that swamped the boat. That day was the worst day of my life.
Happy you are safe also and man that was some crazy stuff sir
