What fly are you using?

Hi, I've got a bit of a weird question for you. I saw you have quite a few videos about fishing in the Choctawhatchee, have you ever seen an old army tank stuck in the bank of the river? There's a couple of photos online of the tank, an LVT-3C, but whoever posted them didn't say where it is, other than in the Choctawhatchee. I'd like to try and find it.

Congratulations... fish God was good to you!! 🙌🏿

Congratulation well deserved way to go

What year is your boat?

I had my pro 175 out on gulf and my 14ft super guide deep v. Had a blast and caught alot of fish

Great video i would love to have th chance to pick his brain i watch all of his videos

If you purchased a threaded handle, you could loosen it, turn it, and tighten it done in a sec without struggling to turn it... isn't the biggest concern of it bouncing and going into the water? Shouldn't it be latched on both ends so it can't deploy

It’s called Zebra Mussels, they will eat you up in TEXAS😳

do you run your motor in there or no

How big?

Thanks for the video bud, what is the pole on the right side you keep twisting? Is that for your transducer? If so, can you provide a link? I have mine mounted to my trolling motor and do not like it. Thanks again!

I took my test 5 years ago and I am not taking another one!

What was the rod and reel you were using? Brand of braid? Thanks, great video.

Can this be done with a freshwater bass boat? Fiberglass skeeter w/seapro mercury and freshwater Terrova?

I live in Florida as well and I think for the younger generations they should not be able to buy a boat or a pwc with out showing they have taken and passed the boater safety course as well. Just like you need a motorcycle course before driving off the lot. I see too many foolish people on the St John's river every weekend.

i just drive by you

I've always seen the lunar tables and "best times" to do such and such. Never gave it too much thought. Except that the bluegill are spawning right around each full moon. And I love catching bluegill. And spawning bluegill mean feeding bass. It's magical. I'm going to give the chart a try. I'll use it and see how the bites line up to it. Thank you for trying to help us

Great video I fish the east bay river as well

Very informative. Thank you.

You’re spot on Sieg, moon cycle is of utmost importance!

To many people with boats don't know anything about the rules

I already took my boating course and have my certificate

No reason for BASS to not require a speed limit. No reason to ever go that fast. I hat State regulations and do not want any chance the government gets any more regulation, but tournaments should put safety first.

Thanks

Careless pro don’t care that’s the problem because it rolls down hill if the pros can be reckless then why not everyone they know better ( I’m now a retired truck driver if anything happened in our truck or any kind of accident we would be reprimanded and sometimes even fired and should be punished because we should know better just like the pro fishing anglers ( MLF and Bassmaster) should know better but just don’t care and should be terminated from the tournaments period

I’ve only heard of one college fishing tournament accident but heard of at least 2 or more pro fishing tournament circuits where reckless driving was involved so that tells me that they would not even care about a safety course so I think that banning them for all tournaments forever would be appropriate because they didn’t care in the first place and people could have got killed

As a frequent kayak angler, I always wear my life jacket, no matter what.

AMEN should be mandatory to all Boaters BASS fishermen act look FOOLS on the water here in NC Bass fishermen need to be more courteous stop being pricks that go fast I can read your number just like everyone else can on your boat so SLOW the 🦆Down before you kill someone or yourself

There needs to be Drivers Ed for boats for the high schoolers. Not just a class but on the water instruction then they may retain those safety lessons through college and beyond. States need to establish speed limits for lakes.

I'm 62 years old and I firmly believe everyone who drives a boat should have to attend a mandatory boating safety course, including a driving test just like you take for a vehicle or motorcycle. In recent years I have seen several instances of very careless behavior regarding bass boat drivers. Age is irrelevant. Any yahoo is currently allowed to drive a high performance bass boat. Another issue is speed. How fast is too fast? How fast do you need to go on a lake? Bass boats with 500 hp motors? Why? Bass boats don't have brakes and they have zero protection for the driver and passengers. More and more boats are on the lakes. I have been bass fishing since I was a kid. Used to tournament fish when people were responsible with boats. It has gotten so bad that I won't even go on weekends because it is dangerous. Something has to change. It has become the wild west on lakes. I hate regulations, but unfortunately, they are needed because of irresponsible and narcissistic people.

Great and informative video 👍

What was your depth???

There's a lot of young kids in the comments going to have to call out the parents that didn't teach them all it takes is to be a good parent teach your kids how to use Firearms how to use a boat how to drive a car that goes much farther than an online course which is BS

Stop allowing to many boats in these tournaments..

I knew it I knew it I knew it too bad they couldn't check them all for 100% brain! These young kids running 250s at 75 mph you need your head examined😮

Here's a suggestion, limit the horsepower of the outboard to 35hp. No one's a 70mph bass boat.

Absolutely 💯 percent spot on boat safety and drug test as well on Bass tournaments. Any one doubts that automatically Disqualified period. No explanation. There are no room on the water for mistake out there period.

Let me see. 500 teams. Hmm. Way to many.

I say this is a great idea. Go even farther that all boat owners should have to do it. I will say I could use a refresher on this. I am 59 and been driving a boat since I was twelve . Went through a course in high school in South Carolina. But, know there may be things I have forgotten.

Not surprised it was caused by bass fisherman. Their the most arrogant and disrespectful, no matter what lake i fish at and I live in Colorado were the fishing sucks. Explain that

Limit rpm on the boats two 4200 rpm would help. Very easy setting.

Agree, 110% with your video ….enough said. Common sense safety first.

Absolutely 💯 percent I started learning at about 8 dad and grandpa . Speed will hurt you especially on the water , water commands respect and if you don't the consequences can be catastrophic.

What you see here is what ruined America. Let's face it.. what half dozen people are killed every year. Virtually zero. Yet boomers want "restrictions". This is how we went from the freest county on earth to not even in the top 20. You don't need to be afraid of everything.

Fished one of my firsts BFL with an 18 year old kid, using his dad's boat. Knew I was in for a long day after the first run! We took off in middle of pack, water was churning from all the wakes. We are bouncing along at close to 80 mph, with my fat arse in the air more than in the seat. Later in the day, he almost drove through three buoys marking a rock ledge. And he would have had I not popped him in the arm to tell him about it. Nothing wrong with speed. But it does no good to go catch a limit if you don't live to weigh them in! Slow down and enjoy the fishing!

If BASS would have continued to keep 150hp max for tournaments things would be different😡

Got certified back as a junior in high school 2002, my school had a marine operators class and learned the marine rules of the road, chart plotting and even a bridge simulator to dock several different vessels. Recieved a non exp certification from LDWF, basically a license for power boats. It was a class geared to tug boat operation in the gulf States.

Boating safety is very important. But the one thing that bothers me it that people go 70+ mph on the water. Yeah you want to get to your spot but you don't need to go that fast. I have a 150 on my boat and thats all i need.

More rules and law to punish the ones who have COMMON SENSE. SO SICK OF HAVING TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE'S PARENTS DIDNT BEAT THEIR ASS AND TEACH THE HOW TO ACT IN A SOCIETY
