Awesome fish. Next time put the camera in a 5 year old hands. I promise they will do a much better job.

So my truck is garbage?

What’s up fellas

still wild to me here in America we use our Abu Garcia catfish reels/bait casters for carp lol i mean it works lol I've definitely done it before but i switched to a baitrunner spinning setup and wont go back!

I think that Thomas fella dropped a few good nuggets of info.I will see this weekend when I get out on the clinch river .

Bream is a hard scale bait versus soft scale bait such as shad is a much better bait.All the catfish and striper here in Tn.prefer shad over bream any day.

lmao them hook sets are soo funny

Very informative

The rover60 is the only one with a floating spool.

I come to this place every chance I get great ponds

I came up on one r60 version and can’t wait to used it went to a liqadation and found one for $12 🤭 new

Wanna catch striper in the summer? Go to other lakes!.. I travel to Norman so travel to kerr,gaston etc. Don't be a one lake wonder😂

Exactly 💯

Apparently someone has never heard of downriggers😂

What a lot of people dont realize is there are a ton of fish in 20 feet of water. But most people seem to target them in deep water

I been working on a new boat i took it for a ride up the clinch to 61 bridge .I was hoping to see you and Wes but it was late afternoon and you were probably gone.No i was a week to late.Maybe next time.

Very nice job guys! Dieter can learn from you guys!

Shit on a mans planner board.Cant take Wes nowhere

I know this video was posted a while ago but Jeff would have your ass if he seen you putting your feet on his fish

I aint leaving my reels anywhere.Any fisherman knows what he brought and he ain't leaving none of them.

Used Gods name in vain twice just to start the video. Wow.

great video

I'm thinking about grabbing one of these because I bought a 6500 c3 ambassador and it's a piece of shit the anti-reverse doesn't work and the clicker button feels like it's going to fall off. I figure if I'm going to get a piece of shit why should I pay 160 bucks

I have a old 6500cb and am replacing it with the 60 kk black what's the main difference on the black vs normal?

Old carp fisherman never die... They just smell that way.😂

They need to hire a welder. Those welds look like shit!!!

My first thought is what the hell are you doing, smoke that trout they're the best thing to ever come out of a smoker.

Your friend is a real Blue Falcon, I have a couple guys that regularly do that crap. When they find out I am going fishing some times I cancel on them at the last minute. Karma lol.

My understanding at the sign in was that if you brought short fish, it was not the FISH that got disqualified, it was the TEAM that got disqualified. I thought that was why Pete said if you had a questionable fish, don’t bring it to the scale, let somebody come to your boat and look at it before you bring it to the scale and get yourself disqualified. I am also willing to say I may have misunderstood that, but that’s how I took it to mean

They shouldve been disqualified they broke the law by possesing illegal fish

I feel most people agreed with Dieter on his video cause he never clarified that the illegal fish was not weighted. Glad you did clarify that. Also the fact he implies they purposely cheated is distasteful.

3/4" is not a mistake when the rules were clearly set to use a golden ruler. They knew. Why else would they have the tape measure ready at the scales?

Allegedly...size (length/ weight) can only be officially documented by dnr assessment. Everything else is just just opinion💯

My basic question was this, and hundreds of people responded to my video with their opinion; if you bring undersized / illegally possessed fish to the scales, should you be disqualified since it is written into the rules that all state and federal laws must be followed? My contention is, if breaking state and federal laws is not grounds for disqualification, then remove the rule. Arbitrarily enforcing it sheds a bad light on the tournament and tournament fishing. Nobody knows for sure whether or not they did this on purpose or not, we all have our opinions on that. I believe everyone agrees that fish less than the legal length limit were attempted to be weighed, and that is where I like to hear other folks take. Good job JR….you and I should do a podcast on this topic of tournament rules, on what you should govern and what you should ignore. 😉

If the game warden pulls up on some young guys with a short fish they would probably cut them some slack.But somebody that gets paid to fish ticket every time that way if they don't know they will know for sure next time.

These people are supposed to be professional fisherman don't know how to measure a fish.Either they were trying to cheat or they are dumb asses.Hey i understand I am a country dumb ass myself.

Yeah...dunno. If one of the fish was 3/4 of an inch short...that's not a "mistake." That's trying to skate one in under the radar. Meanwhile...wasn't there a qualifier on the tournament rules that you had to abide by all state regulations? If they brought short fish into the weigh in, that's a violation of state law. And it seems like the angler should have been DQ'd from the weigh in because of that. I don't who the angler is, but bringing in two shorts in a money tournament should have major consequences. But kudos to the angler for returning the money after the fact.

Some tournaments if a small fish is brought to scales the fishermen are disqualified or docked a certain weight amount on the fish that do qualify. Guess one would have to see the written rules of that specific tournament. Think both of you guys could be right good video

I have kept quite as long as I can! I am retired now but was a Game Warden in NC and worked Lake Norman for lots of years in late 90s and early 20s. Knew Bushwhacker from Midway .. That being said if I checked Bushwhacker on the lake and he had those two fish and he made a good argument he measured the fish and got 20 inches… I would have said “get your tape out and measure the fish and show me the 20 inches” … if he did I would take my rule and show him how to measure the fish the way I did… and say turn em back ! Problem solved sportsman educated … not saying he was wrong but that he knows how to measure the fish the way the “State” says they have to be measured. Then Bushwhacker can educate every client he has in his boat and now he doing my job for me! There is a difference in trying to take these fish illegally and measuring wrong and overlooking details! Common sense people !

They took the boat they one back and fined them

Do you guys ever come to Arkansas for turnemnts

Is this about the guys that got caught putting sinkers in their fish

Wes needs to watch his language i don't want my little bastard hearing that shit

I’m no fisherman like you guys but I agree with wes on the drag, have fought some on penn battle 2 4000 spinners while trolling eels and it’s a 10-15 min fight and not even on max drag which i believe is only 15lbs. We use same reels on 48 inch range drum and similar length cobia but then again i’m guessing some old fellurs probably could use the extra help with more drag haha

I know where you got the blue barrels where we’re you fishing

Hay Guys!

To each his own but I wouldn't spend my money on a 🇨🇳 reel, everyone I've seen is junk & sooner or later that becomes apparent

Great job guys!

I've fish with both that dacron braided and mono line ,I've had luck with both and tie my own hooks, mono just easier and more readily available than dacron

Could anyone tell me clearly how they tied the snelled hooks like that on that swivel so they would stay apart?
