    Just getting out of the high school bass tournament world (boat captain for my son) and back into kayak tournament fishing. So many bad examples out there for the kids coming up related to honesty and integrity. I appreciate you demonstrating both here and setting a good example. Keep up the good work and great content.

    So much respect that you showed the whole catch. It was obvious that it was unintentional, some days you win some days you lose. I'll also add that I love that whether you tear them up or you don't, you are candid about your thought process, you'll get em next time Greg, tight lines and stay safe.

    Man, you're AWESOME! I love watching your talent as a fisherman, but I sincerely appreciate your humility. You dont edit out foul hooks, broken props and down the scorecard tournaments.
    You share it all: good and bad.
    As a new kayak fisherman, I really appreciate it, and you have a loyal subscriber because of it.

    (I fish in "Stump-Laden" lakes all the time... Haven't broke a prop yet, as I don't "clip-down" the drive at the back. Maybe I'm just Lucky?).

  • @Funwithhighnotes
    @Funwithhighnotes 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Welcome to Fork, where hearts are broken every day! lol. We have a place on Fork. It’s a battle to catch em. The Florida strain bass are nowhere near as aggressive as other strains. That coupled with pressure and an abundance of natural forage to eat, it’s tough figuring out what artificial lure will trick them on any given day. Yes, tons of water snakes. Every shoreline is full of them. Also, the fish you were seeing jumping were probably turtles. The lake is loaded with them and it took me a while to decipher surface movements. Sorry the trip wasn’t what you’d hoped but glad you made it down here!

    Tough tourneys are tough, even tougher when a fish gets denied, but it's how you carry yourself and how honorable you are when people aren't looking that defines character.
    Its also important that all of us in the competitive kayak work follow your example if we are to take this to the level that we want this to go.

It was a big lake and location location location was key. You inched me out on the scoreboard. I am on the scoreboard right behind you. "Cristian Astorga." I fished out of a Native Titan. If you ever wanna fish Texas, hit me up!" Great video again!

I fished my but off in one tournament and after 4 hours of no bites, on a day when everyone was struggling like crazy-I got a huge 4 pounder that would have put me in the top three- Except he flopped out of my boat before I was able to record him....Ill never forget that moment!!!!

TPWL did an incredible job of creating a Bass Paradise......their present paradise is Naconishe with incredible sized fish.....
