When my wife and I were dating fishing came up. Her dad loved fishing. She loved going fishing. So one day we went to my favorite stream. We went to a nice pool where we could start trying for Smallmouth. She rolled out her blanket. Pulled out a book and started reading. I said "I thought you loved going fishing". She said "I do. You fish and I read. We both have a nice day" . This summer I will be married to her for 30 years.
Great stories. I drew a guy on Lake Dardanell one time that didn't like the way I was driving. This was back in the 80s. He kept wanting me to cut corners getting out of the channel buoys and I was not going to do it on long runs in areas I didn't know real well. He kept saying if you can't out run them you have to out drive them lol. I asked where his boat was and he said it was in the shop getting a new lower unit. I could see why.
Great stories. I'd love to hear about your top 5 most-impressive co-anglers. What did they do that impressed you? What was something one of them did that you learned from?
Great stories Randy, but somewhere on TH-cam there's a guy telling a story about this crazy pro he had to fish with that was wearing a motorcycle helmet.
I was laughing out loud at the co-angler picnic spread-I’m surprised he didn’t have a frying pan and some cooking oil in case he caught something! 🤣🧺🥪🎣
Har... I , too, was laughing out loud about picnic guy. The way you told that story, I could really picture it in my mind. Like fishing with Felix Unger. 😂
Omg I would’ve died if one of the stories was “yeah my co-angler through his first fish in the livewell, then a couple minutes later I look back and he’s got a cutting board and a fillet knife out cleaning his fish.” 😂
Lmao the first tournament I fished was as a co ,my lunch box was bigger than my tackle box,lol..that guy is a mentor of mine 20years later and he still tells that story every chance he gets.its a good laugh now..
I find that stopping to eat something totally makes a difference in attitudinal fishing successes. A good meal can change your mood and make the experience better. I don't fish competitively but I do have bragging rights to defend on my fishing therapy sessions!
Best story I ever heard was a guide took a couple out and the guy asked if it was ok for his GF to use the restroom in his livewell. Guide says yeah that’s fine thinking she was going to just pee and he’d flush it out. End of the trip he looks into his livewell and she’d taken a dump lmao 😂 😂😂
Great video Randy! It's amazing to me that some of these guys get the opportunity to fish with a pro, step into YOUR boat, and have the nerve to think they should be running the show!
Back in the day..B,A,S,S, members could just sign up by mail for a CO ANGLER in a selected tournament of their choice. .. And put up the money ahead of time ,,,,, then BASS would just randomly pick names from a list..then notify you....all you had to do was be a BASS MEMBER...no skills required... they would return the money by mail to those not picked...
I would absolutely love to sit and just listen to your fishing stories. Hell, any stories you tell are great!!! You should think about writing a book about your experiences over the years in competitive sports. Keep it up Randy.
Hey Randy I almost fell off my couch I was laughing so hard about that guy who set up a picnic on the back of your boat thanks for the laugh your pal fisherman Mike
Coffee came out of my nose when you said "are you kidding me!"....and "picnic guy"....love these stories Randy! Lol reminded me of similar partners I've had. Lol
One time I was fishing a tournament as a co-angler and my boater pulled into a Cove and pulled out a coffee thermos and a real coffee cup. We never left the cove, never caught a fish and never saw another boat all day. I never said a word.
Kinda reminds me of the co-angler I had back around 20 years ago. This my first tournament with my own boat in a draw/club tournament. As luck would have I drew out by myself, and made me happy NOT to have anyone with me on my first tournament with my new boat. Well the night before the tournament director calls me and asked if this young guy could come fish with me being as I didn't draw a partner. I agreed, no problem. That morning on Lake Sinclair(GA) it was February and it was cold. I had on a full "freezer suit", gloves, boots, etc. to stay warm. This guy shows up wearing a light jacket and little else to stay warm. He had one rod(spinning) and a small tackle box. The worst part was he had been out partying all night and was extremely hungover/sick. We made a short run to my first area which was about a mile away. I look over and he's shivering. I got up on the deck, put the trolling motor down and started fishing. I eventually got up and started casting too but never said anything. Then it got quiet....to quiet. The next thing I heard was the sound of him throwing up over the side of my boat. Dude, you alright? Yeah I'll be fine, I just drank to much last night. After a couple of more body heaves and stomach spewage he asked me to take him back to his car. Fortunately we weren't far away so I obliged. He left and that was the last time we ever saw this kid. Ah memories.... LOL
Had a similar experience as a co-angler a couple weeks ago to your story about the guy laying down. I caught a nice lm on a red crank so my angler starts throwing cranks and parallels the bank super tight. I’ll say this, it’s tough to fish anything out the back when you’re fishing boulders and rock. After a couple of snags you’re forced to break off expensive gear.
I've only been hardcore serious about bass fishing for about a year now. One of the other Lieutenants I work with fishes the Phoenix and Toyota Series so I started picking his brain when I started buying rods and reels. He knew where I was going with bass fishing and predicted my life a year ago. When I asked about tournament fishing he mentions starting as a Co-Angler. Not trying to toot my own horn but I think I fish harder the most of the boaters I've drawn this season. I literally won't put down a rod to even drink or eat. I never second guess my boater, offer suggestions when asked, I'll carry on a conversation but I am there to fish. Hearing your stories blows me away.
I was picturing Mr. Bean on the back deck eating crumpets, drinking hot tea, and dabbing his mouth with a big white napkin. Although, Randy stole his toothpick to peg his weight!
In over 30 years of tournament fishing, I have experienced near everyone of these same stories myself. One was fairly recent when I drew a guy who had just started using baitcasters and couldn't cast 25-30 feet from the boat. When he tried to cast further he would backlash everytime. Problem was, he complained I was fishing to far from the bank so he couldn't fish (I was fishing timber in deeper water not on the bank and won the tourney).
The few times I have fished with someone I did not know we have almost always had a good time. One guy in an ABA a few years ago was super competitive with me, and we are fishing against each other in that situation, but still no real issues with the boaters. Sometimes you just get a guy who you do not get along with real well, but that happens all the time in daily life too.
Lol I can relate to the guy jumping up and down on the back deck all day 😅 I’m not made for the cold, my hands go out on me if it’s less than 50 degrees
I had a co-angler who said he was “ready to go” after about 2 hours of fishing. Said that’s how long he usually fishes. Couldn’t comprehend that we would stay out there for 8 hours. Totally blew his mind. He obviously had never fished a tournament before and thought that weighing in was optional and for fun. Needless to say he was real fun to be with around hour number 6.
I wanted to be a co-angler until I remembered that I’m 63 and haven’t fished for more than 3 hours in quite a while! No way I could do 8 hours now. Wish I’d known about co-anglers when I was young enough to be one!
Picnic guy is my favorite!! Love your videos. the co-angling tips were awesome, I just completed my very first tournament ever on any level. Im a Bass pro tour Official been fishing my whole life. Im 64 and lost my wife 5 yrs ago. She always wanted me to do the BPT official thing, so I did. Then she wanted me to do the co-angler with the Phoenix league well Ive done both for her..now Im hooked I have a 2017 Ranger with livescope. My next thing will be fishing the boater side now!!! I truly do not care about the money,I just want an MLF trophy..How many places do they give out the trophies? Thank you for all your help. Curtis
Fished Wisconsin partner tourneys for 20 yrs. One year my wife gifted me with a backseat entry in a November Grand Lake Tourney. First day I drew a dude who's family owned a successful business and his rig & tackle reflected that. He threw a spinner bait all day, kept the back of the boat out of the fish zone, and gladly took gas money at the end of the day. Day two I drew a regular working dude who was in the top 5 after the first day. His fish were gone on day two, so we did poorly. When I offered him gas money he refused it cause he hadn't put me on any fish. I'd fish with him again any day...and buy him a beer at the end.
I had a guy years ago who was hung over from alcohol poisoning. He literally dry heaved all day long and the only fish he caught was a 35 lb catfish. Lol. I enjoy your channel!
I was jerk baiting long pea gravel points , catching fish almost every cast and he lost his mind because he wasn't getting bit and threw all his rods in the lake. Then, he called the tournament director and told him I did. Just unbelievable.
Randy, I remember one Bassmaster Invitational on Lake Martin. The last day was so cold. I think it got to 25 degrees. My back deck partner didn't say much all day he was so cold. I had a limit but was late to the check in because I got turned around on the lake. Loved my time fishing some of the Invitationals back in the 90s.
That was definitely a different type of video.. Brought back a lot of my memories of my own experiences with our club tournaments .. The partner usually have the boat owner some money to cover the cost of gas and wear and yard ... One guy refused, because he couldn't catch anything...He had a half a day at the front too.. the Frye Guy..
The bass club I was in had a guy that was a co-angler that would bring about 20 rod and reels and 6 of the big Plano tackle boxes and usually threw nothing but Carolina rigs, but he was prepared for anything that they were biting. I hated when we were paired up.
Lmao these stories had me laughing pretty good thanks for sharing. I actually just won a tournament out of the back of the boat last week, my boater let me run the motor half the day as well so that helped. I kinda like the back however because its easier to concentrate on fishing in a lot of ways
I have some classic co-angler stories also, including a 300+ lb guy who jumped overboard naked to go to the bathroom, and he couldn’t get back onboard.. Hoisted him up on the outboard..😂
LOL, picnic spread guy!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I can vision that and it’s hilarious!!! Randy, how about a video about the worst Co’s you’ve had in the last ten years? It would be interesting to hear those since most know what they’re getting into! On a side note, I’m fishing the BASS Northern opens this year and I don’t want to be “that guy”!!!!!
Its funny when i first started tournament fishing i was the guy that would pack the 3 course lunch. Now that im a boater i dont eat at all. 8 hours goes by so quick
Wow, I can imagine whereas tons of stories from each end of the boat. There are some super competitive pro anglers (because that's sort of what it takes). But the guys who pony up for co-angling with a pro should expect/respect the pro's lead. I should think a pre-meet discussion of what the plan is (plans are) for what and where you're fishing, and how much space the co-angler should expect to have (number of rods, and with knowing where you're fishing how much tackle to bring (vs a 55-gal garbage bag)) would help start on good footing.
Sounds like you've got a little bit of everybody out there. I can only imagine fishing with that many people I'm sure there were more than enough different situations
When my wife and I were dating fishing came up. Her dad loved fishing. She loved going fishing. So one day we went to my favorite stream. We went to a nice pool where we could start trying for Smallmouth. She rolled out her blanket. Pulled out a book and started reading. I said "I thought you loved going fishing". She said "I do. You fish and I read. We both have a nice day" . This summer I will be married to her for 30 years.
Hey Larry that's awesome you guys have been married 30 years I hope you have a great life with her god bless you and your wife your pal fisherman Mike
@@michaelloucks4448 Thank you very much I am blessed. in many ways....one of them being that she still lets me go fishing!
That’s a sweet story.
Good woman just wants to spend time with you. 👍🏻
You are a lucky man!
Great stories. I drew a guy on Lake Dardanell one time that didn't like the way I was driving. This was back in the 80s.

Great stories. I'd love to hear about your top 5 most-impressive co-anglers. What did they do that impressed you? What was something one of them did that you learned from?
Rick, I second that idea! That would make a great video.
Maybe even have one on as a guest
Yeah this would be awesome
Great stories Randy, but somewhere on TH-cam there's a guy telling a story about this crazy pro he had to fish with that was wearing a motorcycle helmet.
LOL. The Lunch Guy takes the Prize.
All you need is a Cup of Water & a package of Beef Jerky.
Thanks Randy for sharing your Crazy
Co-Angler stories.
Peanut butter crackers and Body Armor 👊🏻
Not me. I take sandwich’s, chips, peanut butter crackers and Snickers for desert. Spend 30 minutes eating, watching life go by, then back to fishing.
I was laughing out loud at the co-angler picnic spread-I’m surprised he didn’t have a frying pan and some cooking oil in case he caught something! 🤣🧺🥪🎣
Can’t say I would have had much of a problem with this guy, unless of course he didn’t offer me a sandwich!
Har... I , too, was laughing out loud about picnic guy. The way you told that story, I could really picture it in my mind. Like fishing with Felix Unger. 😂
Omg I would’ve died if one of the stories was “yeah my co-angler through his first fish in the livewell, then a couple minutes later I look back and he’s got a cutting board and a fillet knife out cleaning his fish.” 😂

omg lmao
😂😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha 😂. That’s hilarious
Holy hell lol
🤣🤣🤣 I'd be so pissed off
😂 Dude, please post more fishing stories like this! Very entertaining! Lol! ‘Fish-story Fridays’
Lol love these, if you had to be one of Randy's six most memorable I think I would rather be zebco 33 guy or picnic spread guy LOL
Need to hear the best coangler experiences now
Great video Randy! It's amazing to me that some of these guys get the opportunity to fish with a pro, step into YOUR boat, and have the nerve to think they should be running the show!

Hey Randy I almost fell off my couch I was laughing so hard about that guy who set up a picnic on the back of your boat thanks for the laugh your pal fisherman Mike
I was sure your story about 2-piece spin caster guy was going to end with him being the fish whisperer who placed in the tournament. LOL
Same here!
Randy. This is the content we want more of. Goodness gracious. Your patience is bar none.
Coffee came out of my nose when you said "are you kidding me!"....and "picnic guy"....love these stories Randy! Lol reminded me of similar partners I've had. Lol
Lol! Good stories. One of those co-partners must have hit the thumbs down.
Great STORIES!! I love the picnic guy; a man after my heart!!
Dude... that was one of your best posts.... sooo funny!
The picnic spread had me dying laughing

Randy if I ever get an opportunity to fish the back of your boat I’m bringing a picnic spread and you better join me for lunch 😂
Lol! The picnic guy! That would make a good comic strip illustration!
I was picturing Mr. Bean on the back deck eating crumpets, drinking hot tea, and dabbing his mouth with a big white napkin. Although, Randy stole his toothpick to peg his weight!
I enjoy listening to your stories more than your educational instruction. They’re hilarious! Priceless

Great stories Randy! Was laughing out loud. Wife thinks I’m nuts.
Love it Randy. You're not really fishing until you sit down, tuck a napkin into the neck of your shirt and hunker down on some good fixings!
Randy you got me rolling 😂with these memories.
Lol good stuff. It takes all kinds doesnt it. Thanks for the laughs
Great video randy , trashbag dude had me 🤣🤣🤣😂😂.. love hearing the stories!! 👍
Really liked the “lunch guy”...lol. Good stuff.👍🏼
Randy i love this.i,ve fish some guys before an i was catching fish an they wasn't an that got so mad they stop fishing .awsome video as always.
I always enjoyed fishing draw tournaments back in the 70s and 80s and up to the 90s
Love it, great stories!
The few times I have fished with someone I did not know we have almost always had a good time.

Sometimes you just get a guy who you do not get along with real well, but that happens all the time in daily life too.
I'm with the picnic guy lol
Now that was my favorite video yet, keep them coming!
Love the informational info but this was awesome. You know we love the dirt lol
Lol I can relate to the guy jumping up and down on the back deck all day 😅 I’m not made for the cold, my hands go out on me if it’s less than 50 degrees

Now this cracked me up! I love the stories Randy! Keep up the great work.
There's some crazies out there. Last year I fished a BFL on table rock and had an absolute lunatic!!
I was jerk baiting long pea gravel points , catching fish almost every cast and he lost his mind because he wasn't getting bit and threw all his rods in the lake. Then, he called the tournament director and told him I did. Just unbelievable.
Good Story's Randy
That was some funny stuff!

Hahaha! Great stories.
I honestly love these story type videos! I could listen and watch for days!! Great stuff
Great stories loving the hat😁75k🤓
Funny stuff! I like all the videos and have learned a bunch but i would say this is my favorite! Been around some of those fishermen myself,.
That's hilarious good stuff randy I have had a few co,s like that
Great stories, Randy. Thanks for sharing.
These had me rolling. Hilarious.
That was definitely a different type of video.. Brought back a lot of my memories of my own experiences with our club tournaments .. The partner usually have the boat owner some money to cover the cost of gas and wear and yard ... One guy refused, because he couldn't catch anything...He had a half a day at the front too.. the Frye Guy..
These are gold
Love the stories you tell 👍
Man you do a good job with these videos randy! Keep em coming .
I was the spin cast guy....Thanks Randy
Were you really the guy?
🤣😂 Funny Stories Randy
These were really entertaining stories. Thanks
What a hoot! I like the picnic idea!
The bass club I was in had a guy that was a co-angler that would bring about 20 rod and reels and 6 of the big Plano tackle boxes and usually threw nothing but Carolina rigs, but he was prepared for anything that they were biting. I hated when we were paired up.
picnic dude!!! that is hilarious!!!
Randy, you gotta eat...! Lol keep your strength up...! That was funny...
Lmao these stories had me laughing pretty good thanks for sharing. I actually just won a tournament out of the back of the boat last week, my boater let me run the motor half the day as well so that helped. I kinda like the back however because its easier to concentrate on fishing in a lot of ways
Love these stories, you don't find these anywhere!
The picnic dude is hilarious lmao
I got a friend who bring like 10 rods and a duffle bag every time lol..and the picnic guy can fish with me anytime 🤣🤙
Your videos along with fish the moment are great
That was hilarious.
You really need to do one about your best co-angler experiences. I know you have a few of those to.
These are my favorite videos I wish they were an hour long!
Enjoyed this video. Like the stories.
Omg picnic guy had me rolling
I love these stories
I have some classic co-angler stories also, including a 300+ lb guy who jumped overboard naked to go to the bathroom, and he couldn’t get back onboard.. Hoisted him up on the outboard..😂
Randy, could you do a video about catching your biggest bass
LOL, picnic spread guy!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I can vision that and it’s hilarious!!! Randy, how about a video about the worst Co’s you’ve had in the last ten years? It would be interesting to hear those since most know what they’re getting into! On a side note, I’m fishing the BASS Northern opens this year and I don’t want to be “that guy”!!!!!
Will do!
That’s some funny stuff !!
We gotta guy who's a pain in the butt while on the boat in our league. It's part of the fun tho to see who draws him😆
Great video Randy!
Its funny when i first started tournament fishing i was the guy that would pack the 3 course lunch. Now that im a boater i dont eat at all. 8 hours goes by so quick
Wow, I can imagine whereas tons of stories from each end of the boat. There are some super competitive pro anglers (because that's sort of what it takes). But the guys who pony up for co-angling with a pro should expect/respect the pro's lead. I should think a pre-meet discussion of what the plan is (plans are) for what and where you're fishing, and how much space the co-angler should expect to have (number of rods, and with knowing where you're fishing how much tackle to bring (vs a 55-gal garbage bag)) would help start on good footing.
Hilarious stories man 🤣
I have been laughing so hard my stomach hurts
I can’t stop laughing 😂 😂😂😂
lol great stories Randy
some good laughs right there
I would have joined the picnic guy 🍗
Was thinking the same thing.
I would have loved the guy with the food!
Sounds like you've got a little bit of everybody out there. I can only imagine fishing with that many people I'm sure there were more than enough different situations
Good times
