    What questions do you have for Andy?!
    Let him know below and we’ll try and get them answered for you!👇👇

      How many backlashes did he dig out while learning to skip baits? 🤣 Did he practice in open water or did he just learn on the fly while fishing?
      I personally skip great with a spinning reel but tragedy happens every time I try to practice skipping with my bait caster. 🙈🤣

      I have a question for both of you! If you could only afford buy one of these which one would you buy?
      Trolling motor with spot lock or a power pole?

      If Andy could only fish one lake for the rest of his life which one would he pick?

      How in a world full of meanness and hate do two guys like you rise above it and set such a wonderful example for all men to follow. I could watch Andy Montgomery skip a jig all day and never get tired of watching or listening to the stories he tells. From one farmer/fisherman to another Andy please don’t ever change

    I had the pleasure of marshaling for Andy on the Kissimmee Chain this year... i was supposed to be with KVD, but he just made his announcement the day before, so they took me out of that circus and placed me with Andy. I didn't even know who he was.... I'm just a weekend fisherman, but getting more involved in local tournaments, etc.. From the beginning of the day and throughout that day, he was the most courteous, professional and genuine person I've encountered in a long time. He caught a 5 pounder on the first cast of the day, then the first cast jinx struck for most of the rest of the day, but he plowed through it and caught a few more working hard until lines out was called. I've followed Andy through his posts, and learned more about where God put me that day, very thankful for his direction!

  • @sp7772
    @sp7772 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been in a situation where I knew my life was over. I can verify, you absolutely calm down. It's as if you realize it's your time and you immediately jump to acceptance. You come to peace with the end. I actually gave up, quit fighting to survive, and waited for the end to come. I had no more fight left in me and no more hope. Then at the last possible moment, an escape route presented itself. The fight to survive came back, and obviously I made it out.

  • @weldonwhite2930
    @weldonwhite2930 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Most of the pro fishermen came to a cross road in their life that they picked fishing over some other way to make a living. I’m sure for every successful story there are lots of people who didn’t have the success for whatever reason. You two are a couple of the guys that overcame the obstacles to become successful fisherman. Congratulations to both of you……I grew up on Rayburn and worked in one of the local guide shops so was around lots of the pros and some of the grandfathers of the tackle industry…..let’s just say some of them were not very friendly people. It’s refreshing to see two nice guys who seem to be open to advancing the sport…. Keep up the image fellas

  • @nicholasporter4682

    Wow!!! What a story Andy. I’m glad you made it out too. I have four daughters and I am sure getting back out of that cab and swimming to safety would have been my utmost thought. I want to see my daughters grow up and become great women. It was just another day…great reminder that the good Lord is in control.🙏
