It's clear that your decision to dedicate more time and effort into producing added value content is paying off. Your videos do a great job of pulling back the curtain on what it looks like to be a professional angler in 2023. Great job!
Thank you for noticing, Tim! They’ll only get better too. We feel like the last couple of weeks we’ve finally got the team we need in place to send this media stuff to the level you guys as viewers deserve 🙏
Just watching you fish and seeing your excitement gets me fired up even watching. You f'n crush what you do, Chris! Props to Johnny too behind the lens and on the sticks, kills it.
Awesome video! Love the content. Man, this was my first time going to the Classic and it was incredible! Super cool to have met ya! Keep hammering man!
Thanks Byron… we finally got our second camera guy, Charles. The channel is going to finally have the quality from top to bottom that we need to do something solid for viewers
5:24... I need to know what boots those are!!!!! I know that was random.. there's so many super clean edits in this thing is ridiculous but that's something that really stuck out as soon as this thing started..... Whoever edited this 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪😎💯💯👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing genuine and true love for the sports of fishing (Skit fiske = shit fishing as we say in Sweden when wishing someone good luck at the water) 👊
As a viewer the live stuff is kind of a bummer. I really like hearing you talk about the thought process, tactics, conditions, all that stuff is super solid. And your camera guy and editor are excellent (less of the dramatic rock and roll would be nice). It's just way more compelling for me to see you scanning the conditions, looking for bait or birds or color lines than engaging with electronics. It is what it is.
It’s a tough balance because I’ve been getting my butt whooped by those using FFS/Live and the heat is on for me to do it or be playing catch up every derb. Weird place to be as a tournament angler
@@Zaldaingerous Yea, seems like you have to use it and I like that your up front about it. It's a small thing in the big picture. An interesting topic and you could cover it more. I'm rooting for you online and on the water. Take it from the man.
you know what… We constantly hear about how great TN is, Fish and wildlife, Knoxville is to the BASS community… Why the f*&k would they shut current off before a major tourney, The Classic, people! Leave the water alone. unless people are at risk of flooding, let that shit rip. 10 guys had a good bags. WTF.
Haha the last classic there, I was in contention to win going into Sunday and boom, they shut the current off THAT DAY! CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY of the Classic!
@@Zaldaingerous Oh I know, I seen that. I just don’t understand why F&W all over isn’t trying to make the best conditions possible for anglers. Hell, what if and angler is best friends with the Water Boy?? it’s nuts. I think it’s something that should be considered when planning Professional Events. Get these people to sign something…. DONT MESS WITH THE WATER FOR THIS WEEK
this kind of stuff changes lives. But we hear it all the time… Oh, “they” dropped the water. or “they” raised the water. Who the hell are “they” and don’t they understand they are messing with someone’s lives? I just think more thoughts should go into this. I would be super pissed, especially in a position like you were in.

I like watching your videos, you show stuff we don't get to see on t.v.
Appreciate this, Dwain 🙏
What are those vans you had on for day one??
Haha my wife orders me all sorts of Vans at the beginning of the year. She said those are the Sk8-Hi MTE - basically their spin on an “adventure boot”
Heck ya dope vid brotha! Hoping to make it to that stage one day, maybe even compete against you 🤔🤷♂🤣
Can’t wait, Landon 👊🏽
Bro can we talk about those sick Vans?! Where’d you cop those?!
Haha my wife orders me a ton through their custom van’s program at the beginning of every season. Those are their Sk8-Hi MTE adventure boots
@@Zaldaingerous sick! That’s why I couldn’t find the ones with the orange stripe. Thanks for the heads up, definitely need custom vans now!

Yo Travis 👋
@@Zaldaingerous you got to come up to the real NOR CAL sometime. Fishing trip on me!

Someone will mess with the water at Sabine also
