Hey chad thanks for having me! I had a amazing time! Thank you to everyone for the great support, I’m loving it!!!
Dylan Fuqua Kayak Fishing congratulations on your win young man
Awesome job kiddo! Fish on!
Congrats on the big win!
Congrats bud! Keep it up!
Dylan Fuqua Kayak Fishing congrats Dylan! It’s awesome to see young folks out fishing-you know we love it because that’s the whole story of our TH-cam channel 😀👍🏼🎣
He paid the fee, he followed the rules, and he beat them all. 'Nuff said
Congrats
I hope to see more young men and women like Dylan in tournaments.
congrats Dylan on the win!!
Good job DMAN
Nice work young man!
I agree. With today's society, this is what we need more of with kids. Kids wanting to fish or hunt keeps them out of trouble and also enjoying the outside and not just sitting around playing video games etc. This dad should be overly proud of his son, wanting to take on a challenge like this and proving he is just as good as the other guy. Hats off to dad also, for giving his time and support to help Dylan do what he loves. Dylan has many years ahead just being 14, but has the ability and pride in what he enjoys. Keep close eyes on this kid, he's gonna rise in years to come. Keep up the good work, and don't ever let someone slap ya down. Your a great kid and I wish you the best in your years to come. Tight lines
Your 100% right!! Let them fish!
Good job.
Great job Dylan!
Way to go Dylan!
I know Dylan personally I can tell you he is the Future of the sport no question.
Thank you Chad for telling the idiots to buy some wine with that cheese
Awesome job partner. Keep the line tight.
Justin Hughes he did great!!
Yes he and his father did it the right way. Good job. And father you are doing it right.
Y’all be sure to go and SUBSCRIBE to Dylan’s Channel. Let’s help him hit 1,000 Subs!! Thanks in advance!
Good for the kid. Not inside playing video games. He layed it down and beat men who have probably been fishing for twice his age. Now that's cool
Congratulations, he earned it. But understand that going pro means he could be giving up his amateur status in other activities.
Just like you said the proof is in the pudding. The young man paid his money and was the best angler. End of story, who gives a damn about his age.
Absolutely he should be able to compete. He fallowed the rules and did not get any special considerations for his age. So hell yeah he can compete.
Kids should be able to compete. If they have the desire to, why not? Its better for them anyway as opposed to staying home. If all rules are followed, I wouldnt have any issues. It really just shows ones ability and skills. And thats what makes competing against each other fun and exciting.
You Go Dylan! Keep on fishing and forget the Haters! let them worry about themselves. I totally agree with anyone being able to fish. If you follow the rules, pay your dues, why can't you fish? that is the beauty of Kayak fishing anyone and everyone can do it. My son loves to fish with us from the Kayak at 6, so it is nice to see other families out there supporting each other and having a great time. Thank you Chad Hoover for standing behind youth anglers and what is right and fair.
There's nothing about fishing that a kid can't do. It's not like football where he's getting hit by a linebacker. The fish dont care who the person holding the rod is. I think it's great.
Should he be able to fish a Pro circuit? Without a doubt, YES!!! Pro has to do with ability, not age. Truth is, there's a lot grown men scared of the possibility of being out fished by a 14 year old lol. Congrats to Dylan and thanks for having him on your show. I wish both of you the best.
Congratulations
Do you play fort nite? No! Hilarious. Congrats to Dylan on the first of many wins to come in your career.
Jim Hamel 👊🏻
Awesome job Dylan!
hard work does pay off. congrats
Congress
I think it's great for this kid to win. The only problem with him doing this as a professional is he will not be able to fish on High School or Collegiate Fishing Teams because he has lost his amateur status now. But if he want to be a Pro now then so be it. Good luck.
Brian Miller it doesn’t necessarily do that. We have consulted with many university teams and he is still eligible
Yes after researching this I now understand the NCAA is not the governing body for collegiate bass fishing teams. I also unrest and some of the colleges that do have bass fishing teams all their student athletes to earn up to $10k from outside tournaments. So, with that said great job to the young 14 year old who won your event.
Theres no reason why a kid cant participate. If they can fish and compete, let em! Shouldnt be any controversy
Austin Carpenter 👊🏻
Yes . Its a clean life people with a Dad backing him up !!
Good for him, and no fortnite there maybe hope for our youth yet!
Congratulations Dylan, awesome job! Yes I think people under 18 should be able to fish on that level and chase that dream.
Andrew Brooks 👊🏻
Should teenagers be allowed in the Professional division? Absolutely! He paid the entrance fees, followed all the rules and BEAT everyone else.
Dumb luck he won I doubt it. He paid attention to the details and capitalized on them with a win.
Kudos to you young man. Now go out and beat your nay sayers again.
I'm sure you could get a youth division going.
Good job Dad, some parents don't want to fool with their kids anymore. If that young man puts in the time and effort you did the right thing by supporting it.
Only problem I'd see with it is that it's two brains on the water vs. one.
In any case, all the folks that are angry are just jealous that he whooped em. Congrats Dylan.
I think it's fantastic to see the youngsters in there. Great job Dylan!
Old Lady Angler thanks
Hey Chad. I am all for letting the kids fish, but the concern I have is should the minor win an event, as Dylan did, but also competes in other sports in school or college, does this affect their eligibility to compete in those sports? High school and the NCAA have strict rules regarding cash prizes. Maybe there needs to be a system to award youth prize money as scholarship money to be used for college the way they do with youth bowling. Definitely something to look into. Thanks.
As T Swift once said "haters going to hate". Good for him and good on KBF for allowing individuals the opportunity. Thats how you grow a sport hunting/fishing is what kept me out of trouble when I was his age. I'm couldn't be more pumped for him.
keep it going Dylan! good for you! congrats brother
Tell all the cry babies that think kids shouldn’t be allowed in pro events to kick rocks! He put the work in and won fair and square! Awesome job kid!
It's fishing. What should age have to do with it at all??? Great job! If a guy has an issue with it, it's because he has a small fish somewhere other than the end of the line! 🎣
I think it's great. He's a great inspiration for the young people.
Chad, not that it matters (the kids amazing) just curious did he win the event or place 2nd? Confused by the pics...
AWAservices I got first in the pro series and second in the trail
@@dylanfuqua3154 nooiiiiiice 🤙🏽🎣 keep up the good work man, I'm gonna be following your career ✊🏽
Awesome , Good for Dylan. You fish all you can fish. Congratulations 🐟
Of course they should. He had to catch them just like any other. Be happy one day you can say you fished against a AOY winner.
It ain't bragging if its it's TRUE, I agree with you, young Mr. Fuqua, and hats off especially to dad. Good on you all.
Congratulations! Way to get it done !
Congrats again #DylanFuqua,
I look forward to meeting you and I know you will continue to get on them #HawgZillas you have a bright future ahead of you, stay on your grind. Chad great interview I will see you in #Shreveport. I say absolutely anyone who is willing to invest their time regardless of their age and have the confidence to compete against people who are mostly twice their age I take my hat off to them. #KBF has put all the safety aspects in place with minors having a marshal with them to ensure they make sound judgments while on the water. This is whats needed in the sport so it will continue to grow in the future.
Congratulations to the young man
14 years old one word comes to mind. Badass 👊👊👊👊
Way to kill it Dylan!!!!! Heck yeah kids should be in it if they have the mustard!!!! Absolutely!!!!
To all the haters on this kid, he was raised right! I’d rather see him on the water with his dad then behind a computer screen 24/7!! Great job Dillon! Dad 2👍🇺🇸
Absolutely agree that kids should be able to fish all tournaments. They pay and follow rules like everyone else I see no problem.
We need to do more to get our kids out and active in any sport and to have a dad that supports his son like this. This is a Dad that's doing it right great job.
Dylan, first off congratulations and awesome job. Second, don't listen to, or let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be fishing a pro event because your are to young. Most of the people saying that are just mad because they got beaten by a kid lol. You put in the same hard work that any angler did that day, and you made the right choices, found the fish, and caught them. I personally think it is awesome to see a young man make an accomplishment like that, and make history for a growing sport. Keep it up and good luck the rest of the year.
Clint Langwell thanks man appreciate it!
Way to go kid!
All my friends and family say I’ll never make it on TH-cam. I’m not going to stop doing what I love. Let’s keep grinding 💯💯💯
Skills is skills no matter what the age is. I say go gettem CONGRADULATIONS and thanks for being a kayak angler
Jimmy D Cantrell Jr thanks!
Some young Adults have more etiquette and bearing thna ALOT of "adults" great job Dylan.
As much as I love that this kid won. I think the age limit should be 16 ( because that's when they need a fishing license here in SC) think there SHOULD be a youth kbf type tournament for guys/gals like this.
I believe in Tennessee the fishing age is 13. Should they be tossed from bracket to bracket depending where the tournament is? Different tiers, local clubs, state challenges, fishing the trails series... pick you own poison.
Way to go Dylan and way to go for taking the time to promote him and what this stands for!
Congratulations.
That's so awesome! Keep on keeping on Dylan! You're living my dream life man! I can't understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down?
Talon Mak It’s probably a couple of the people he beat! LOL 😂😂😂😂
Great job Chad on having him on here and showing support of him and encouraging him to grow and be the future of the sport. If you have a problem with this young man participating in a fishing event, you have a problem. Also good job dad.
FLA Traveler thanks! Vince is a great dad!
Congrats, Dylan!
YES, YES AND YES GO FOR IT AND GOOD LUCK
Congrats Dylan! Way to show up bud!
Let the kids in the events. They are the future of the sport. Getting outdoors is the answer a lot of kids nowadays need.
I think that is absolutely awesome! That's our future of spreading our great sport!
Congrats Dylan! I think it's good for kids to compete at this pro level especially when talent like this takes top prize.
Outstanding support from the father! Yes, under 18 fishermen should be allowed to compete with the over 18 crowd if there’s not enough demand for a youth tour. Hell, he’s already proven he can hang with the adults! Congratulations Dylan! Great job to his dad for the support, and making memories money can’t buy!
Edward Klimowicz thanks man, appreciate it!
I don't care what anyone says. This is awesome. Congrats
Heck ya he is. Good job Dylan..
Shaun Roberts thanks!
Way to go Dylan! Congratulations buddy! I'll see you at Easter
This young man is a prime example of why we should all take a kid fishing. He earned that win. He sets an example of why there is no question whether or not folks under 18 should be allowed to enter. Well done, dude. EXTREMELY well done.
Chad I’m telling you we need this in our schools brother.
Heck yah. I support him to do what he needs to live his dream.
100% teach them young and they will stay out of trouble
He won, enough said!! Keep it up....
Great job kiddo 👍
Fishing doesn't care about age, I take my 7 yro with me on 50$ tournaments. He loves it as do I!! Good job dad dont listen to the haters.
AWESOME JOB DYLAN!!! Congratulations! Thanks Chad for embracing this young angler. We need more of this.
Timothy Periard we be trying
Let em in, obviously can compete.
congrats Dylan !
Awesome!! Congrats to Dylan and his Dad!!! Great Video!! Enjoyed
Man I hope I don't get beat by a 14 yr. Old... Lol. Awesome job Dylan!
Great job Dylan and congrats. As to your question, as long as the child has parent/guardians permission and supervision, follows the same rules, why not let them fish
He can hold a rod and paddle his kayak and he has supervision for safety purposes. I say let him or her fish. Great job Dylan! You’ve got a great future. #feelthetug
Congratulations Dylan and Great Job!!!! Dad, Supporting your kids talent and dreams and seeing this outcome. WOW!!!!! Keep Grinding and Tight Lines Dylan. P.S. Yes he should be allowed to fish the Pro Series, if you can step into the ring and play with the big boys, "and beat" the big boys. Absolutely Thank you for another great video Chad
Yes, if the adult is there to watch out for them. Go for it. Awsome job. Keep it going.
Yes
Anyone who would say this kid doesn't deserve this doesn't deserve to fish these events themselves.. Kids out fishing he's not playing video games or getting into trouble.. That's what the sport is all about.. Congratulations young man..
Chad a question for you concerning the motors on kayaks. Do you have a video on why they should be allowed in tournaments and such? I am very new to the sport of kayak fishing and let’s say I need convincing on why you would want a motor on a kayak, I haven’t got past the pedal part of it yet. But I want to understand. Thanks.
FL Panhandler I know tons of people that need motors. If you want motors to be available to those that need them then there has to be a market for them, not just for disabled or handicap people.
In addition, as the top four in the sport, it is our job to push the envelope for what is possible with these craft, drive innovation, drive competition and drive advancements that we all benefit from as anglers.
The great thing is, if you don’t agree with it, there are plenty of tournaments to fish that don’t allow them.
Chad Hoover that makes perfect sense. Being very new to the sport I figured you had seen pushback. Thanks for being an ambassador to the sport, your excitement in this young man winning the tournament proves that. And thanks again for all the videos.
Wow man that's awesome, I definitely think youth should be allowed to fish the tournament's, we need to teach our kids positive things and to me nothing better than teaching a child to fish. This another great way to grow and promote the sport. Congrats to Dylan for the win!!
gdjrod thank you
that is what its about right there ,,,adult supervision cool already have rules lol
Chad just wanted to tip my hat off to Dillon keep up the good work. I'm taking kayak classes this summer at the white water center to get more familiar with the kayak. Hope to meet you soon Chad.
To hear he started fishing at 6 was great. I started my twin granddaughter's at six. Their now 21 and I'd put them up against any anger!
