    G GREAT Video. The young man was just enjoying the great outdoors the Lord has provided us. I just love that early morning sun rising on the lake.

  • @jacobburkett
    @jacobburkett 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That lesson is just one thing I LOVE about God. God sends us His spirit (The Holy Spirit) ALL DAY, EVERYDAY to teach us a valuable lesson. We are the ones who don't listen (whether by choice or accident) nor take the time to acknowledge Him and honor Him. As a born again believer and DEVOTED man of God, I too fail to listen to Him as well. As the Men's director at my church, The Holy Spirit is always showing me things and teaching me things that I can use in devotionals, but I get so wrapped up in this busy world that I can 1,000,000% say I either miss His teaching or simply ignore it. GMan I would like to encourage you to really press in and see the WHOLE message God is trying to show you. I would agree with others comments about you taking that young man out for a day out on the water. I say that because God may have given that young man a deeper message for you, or God may use you as a message for that young man. This is the reason I'm encouraging you to press in to God. Thank you for sharing this video and your heart

    G Man I've seen your fire coming up through the ranks, scratching and clawing to learn, get better and move forward. Been following some of my favorite old dudes from BASS and hey now I am one at 50 plus. Amazing story about how God gets our attention. Bringing up some young bucks to plant the fishing seeds and light a fire in them. And the Lord uses them regularly to help remind me to enjoy the experience, the fellowship and the moment instead of ruining it with expectations. Hats off brother you're the genuine article my man. Blessings

    I saw a quote on a wall of a restaurant I believe that was tributed to Benjamin Franklin the other day that resonated with me and something along these lines that said a lot of people miss opportunity because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work I read that several times as I was sitting there eating my food and for whatever reason it’s stuck in my brain and hasn’t gone away because of how true it is and I believe in what you’re saying that we should never take anything for granted and we should always just do our best and be grateful for what we have thanks G!

    Good morning, sir. I just started following you This video my partner and I used as motivation for our first high school fishing team tournament. We fish under THSBA. Our team's senior boat finished 1st out of 174 boats. My partner and I finished 11th. It was each of ours first ever bass tournament and this video echoed with us all day out on Lake Fork (10/01/22). I just wanted to say thank you for reinforcing and reminding us that fishing is more than just fishing. Fish on!

  • @legend13rtr98
    @legend13rtr98 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can’t stop watching this video G. I’m 48 with a Bass Tracker 175 and seeing all these nice bass boats with 250 Mercs and Yamahas at the boat ramp and pass by my 17 year son and I while on the lake. I or we most of the time talk about how we wish we had and want one of those boats. I’m now just appreciative of what I do have. When it’s dark and I’m in the drivers seat saying I’m ready to go and my 17 yr old son is still on the bow casting, I realize and remember now why he’s casting, “thinking that next cast is the cast.” Next time on the lake I think I’ll just enjoy being able just to have a boat and fish and when it’s dark, I’m getting eat up by these Bama skeeters and I’m ready to go, maybe I’ll get back up on the deck and cast a few more times because that’s why I started fishing when I was young too. It’s the hope, heart, and determination that fishing brings out in us. Thank you for posting this G-Man.

    You are so right. I just bought a skeeter strada f90. People talk shit about my little boat but I got it to take my seven year old boy , wife and 84 year old dad fishing. Now I have a broken back and fuzzed back but I thank God every day for the money he gave me to buy this little boat. He guided me to sell my bike to get it because I'm the one fishing like it's my last cast and it will be for dad sooner than later. Thank you God for the 35O0 dollars and that you G for the positive vibes. God is going to bless you in 23 you will win the big one. God bless you.

    I come off the football field one night hot,tired beat up. I thought to myself when’s halftime.Then I looked at the end of players sitting behind them was a boy in a wheelchair I played youth ball with. I’m getting choked up as I write this G.He would have give his last breath to play one more down!!! I started tearing up an people were like Burgess you aight? I said yeah I’m fine.So at halftime I give that speech.Play every down like it’s your last one,because Craig(The wheelchair guy) would give his last breath just to play one more with us guy’s.We went out shut them down an put up 42pts to come back an win!Sometimes we take for granted the abilities that god has blessed us with!From that night forward IVE not lived life the same.At 49yrs old now when I’m hot an tired from digging ditches I just think of Craig....Thanks G for reminding me that we’ve got it pretty darn good!👍🏼🤧

    I have an older Ranger, whenever I see a kid or old man fishing with passion from shore, I offer to take them on the boat. It’s nothing fancy, but it is like Wally World to those that have nothing. I was that kid, I am that old man. Grateful for what I have, what the good Lord has blessed me with and always happy to share. Slice of the pie.
