It's funny I have a pack of those bubble gum Yum dingers I bought a long time ago and never used, looks like it might be time to bust them out! Congrats on the win!
Man I remember watching when you had like 500 subscribers. Just started watching back again. Youve came a long way since then. Glad to see you still doing good and rippin lips man! Cant wait to watch this video!
@@MattLaClear yeah! Ive been fishing my whole life and ive been watching him over 4 years just never had a yt account or commented till a year or so ago.
Congratulations! Despite some early frustrating moments, you kept on keeping on, and, as a result, you came out the victor! God bless you, and keep on fishin''!
Congratulations John! Your passion for the sport is bringing you closer to your goals. The best part of what you do is being yourself and down to earth. Never change. You are passing on a lot of knowledge to all of the folks out here that want to learn how to fish. Cheers!
Wow! Congratulations, and you didn't even need the 17 incher that flopped in! The whole video was enjoyable - I only knew it was longer because you brought it up. So glad to see you win a tournament and by 3-4 inch margin! God bless! Thanks for sharing! Keep enjoying and I will enjoy watching!
John Congratulations, awesome day indeed! You stuck with the bubblegum swirl and it payed off. You're an awesome gentleman, really like your attitude and how you help others out, by showing your set up and the colors you use. Your a Humdinger of a friend to us all, who uses Yum Dingers! God Bless you, (Glen). WV.
That's so cool, John. I'm a huge YUM fan as they are made in my hometown. I love to support the Pradco brands, but especially YUM. I think you have personally made the bubblegum/lemon swirl a huge hit! I know I have recently bought a few packs just from videos. Congrats on a great day fishing too. God Bless. 🙏
I would like to say how nice it is to see you catching tons of fish, including BIG fish on spinning tackle with finesse presentations. I just got back into bass fishing and like most newcomers, or returners to the sport, the amount of casting gear that people tell you that you "need" is dizzying and intimidating. I have been watching your videos, and reading about finesse fishing from Ned Khede, and it is so refreshing to see how much you can do (numbers, size and tournament placing) with just a simple spinning setup, light finesse tactics, and a little bit of technique. Thanks again, I'm subscribed!
Congratulations! You know so many people don't understand tournament fishing and why it's important to the avid angler. The competition or the tournament is on paper being a bunch of folks against each other but those who do best are the ones that play the long game and use tournaments to compete against themselves. I mean same day same water same chance to choose equipment so the only difference is the individual. What can I do to be better than I was last time. If you do that and money out of pocket always ups your game to be better than just a casual Thursday afternoon buddy trip you will become a better all around angler. One thing I did notice was that lake looks like it was made for kayak canoe fishing. Perfect size and so many different structures.
Congrats John. When you lost that fish off the board early I was so bummed for you. You stayed calm & positive. Can't say I would have done the same. In the end you didn't need it. Well done man.
One of the many enjoyments of your video is watching your patience, and listening to the nature background noise. Cardinals, wrens, a kingfisher chattering on the third big hookup, and more!
Great job John !!! When you lost that big one that jumped out of the boat you stayed calm and didn’t cuss or freak out , God rewarded you for your calmness and good sportsmanship!! Awesome Congratulations buddy God bless
Oh my lands ! What an exciting day for you and for us just tagging along. So many fish were on the bite. Yet, my heart sank when that 17 incher flopped, but you didn't stop trying. It reminds me that even when we stumble in the faith, we get up, ask for forgiveness, and keep on doing what we know is right ! Thank you, John for being such an inspiration. You had the desire, and GOD did the rewarding !! Much love and congrats on this tourneys win ( there will be others). You really must devise a better way or fish hold on the measure board. My heart hurts when you lose those fish! Please, always stay safe . Brother in Christ, Randy B.
That was a great day of fishing. Really enjoying watching you be😢coming a great bass fisherman. It’s going to be fun keeping up with you the rest of the summer.
Congrats! I was saying all the things you couldnt on camera for you on the two that didn't make it to the board. So glad you didn't hurt for losing them! Awesome video!
Fantastic win John! This proves that the Yum Dinger can catch small and big fish just like the hellgrammite! You might want to consider having a big swimbait on the kayak for situations where you're trying to go for a huge one after getting your limit. But great work and great video!
As always, you da man, John!! Thanks for taking us along again, and huge congratulations for your win!! very appropriate scripture verse at the end, too! Oh, question: have you ever tried bringing the fish around the front of the kayak and over to the left side so you can net them without having to switch hands holding the rod? I started doing that with the big Pickeral I get here in the Pocono Mountains of PA and it works well, so maybe that would help you net the fish faster...Just a thought..Thanks!
Awesome John congrats man,I hated seeing the fish come off but that's part of this obsession we all have. Keep the great vids coming out I really enjoy them.
My cousin and I just started fishing like really getting into it the last month or 2 then he showed me your channel I immediately Subscribed after just watching 2 or 3 videos. Keep up the good work man I live in Central Tennessee and just knowing how much fish are around my area and watching you, you've inspired me to just get better at fishing love your channel and I hope you keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations man! I got pumped up watching this one. Glad you pulled it off and didn’t lose your spirit when you lost a few. That’s how to hang tough!
Holy Mackerel John!!! Way to go!! I thought for sure those you lost would cost you the win but little YUM Dinger pulls it out for you. Congratulations!! What a day.
John: try this instead of O-rings for whacky rigging and you'll never lose another Yum Dinger. Get 1/4" or 3/8" heat shrink tubing (black or clear). Using your scissors, snip off a piece of heat shrink tube about 3/8" to 1/2" long. Thread the Yum Dinger through it and position the piece of tubing where you want it on the Yum Dinger for fishing it via whacky rig. Using a butane grill lighter (cheap plastic one or a cigarette lighter will do), heat the tubing and it will tighten around the worm. Doesn't take much heat (hair dryers will shrink this stuff) and you won't damage the Yum Dinger. Now, you can run the hook through the heat shrink, through the worm, and out the other side of the heat shrink, just as you would rig it WITHOUT an O-ring. It will not come off nor will the hook tear the worm. Plus, the heat shrink does NOT affect the action of the worm. Hooks by themselves tear through the worm and so can the rather narrow O-rings. I'm guessing that 4 pounder you lost bit one end of the Yum Dinger and pulled the entire worm through and off the O-ring,
Hip Hip Hooray! Congrats John. Brother that was epic 😎. You had a game plan, stuck with it through lost fish and came out on top. Well done brother.. Love the video, blessings
Hey John! Congratulations buddy! Seeing this win tickled me yum dinger pink! Awesome day and losing that biggun in the beginning was all in His plan cause you did not give up and kept on fishing! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats John! Nice bag and nice big fish… even better that I did it all on ur pet lure! Been watchin ur channel for a long a time from the early days and you’ve put in the work for sure… good to see!
Bro.awesome video, I don't know how you kept your composure in the beginning,I was mad and screaming for you! Lol,it all paid off in the end,congrats for the win and keep on being a blessing and fishing hard John,God bless you brother!
Congratulations!!! Well deserved. Love they fight n the 21"+ bass. I know this was an earlier date but I still prayed you would get her in. Again congrats and Gods blessing be with you always.
Wow, nice. Now I'm excited how you did at the end of the video. Looks like you may be taking this one. Congratulations John. You deserve it and you earned it. Was concerned about you when you started.
Have been watching your channel almost every sence you stared, really enjoy all your content, Keep up all your hard work, like the ending of all you videos.
Loved this video. Went and picked up this lure yesterday because I got jealous of how many fish you’ve caught with it recently and this video just put it over the top

Congrats! I was rooting for you throughout like I was there. I’m usually a black or green pump dinger guy, but I bought a bag of those bright dingers just because of you. I’m a recent new sub and loving your stuff.
It's funny I have a pack of those bubble gum Yum dingers I bought a long time ago and never used, looks like it might be time to bust them out! Congrats on the win!
It wasn’t easy, but you had this from the beginning, with a plan you stuck with. I can hardly walk so thanks for the adventure.

That's how I was first taught to fish at the river in my kayak. We used trick worms though. Same deal. This is a great video.
Congrats on the win John. Its has been fun watching you grow over the years!
