[@AlexRuddFishing]

I got a little emotional that last few min. It brings me no greater joy than to see people that deserve something so much to be able to obtain it. Great work man.

[@nsim33.]

Alex Rudd Fishing amen

[@HunterShryockFishing]

You'd think it was the classic I'd won LOL! Not so much.. But to achieve any goal we set out for, big or small is what its all about! Thanks Alex, truly means a lot coming from such a genuine person!!

[@DrZiggyzoo1]

Hunter, first of all, congratulations on qualifying for the Elite Series! Like the end of your video says, all things are possible. You had the dream of making it to the Elite Series. You believed in yourself, and pursued it. Now, you get to live it. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos of your success. In the meantime, I'm going to clean these onions off of my desk.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Man, that brought tears to my eyes Hunter. So proud of what you did and can’t wait to see where God takes you! He’s gonna use you in HUGE ways homie! Congrats again

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Sorry for getting all sappy, sad I know LOL! Still learning everyday but you're right! Thanks brother, you get it!

[@christianroberto9552]

a tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@parkerluis5343]

@Christian Roberto Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself =)

[@jacobjamari4578]

@Christian Roberto yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :)

[@Infamousone336]

Wow!!! Congratulations Hunter. The Elite guys better watch out. This series should get way more recognition. The raw emotions is unreal. You show the highs and lows of the sport. Hard work and dedication will pay off. You keep it interesting and clean. Clean enough that my 4 year old daughter loves watching it with me and I don't I have second thought about it. Thanks for sharing the ride with us and hope you continue. Good luck with the Elite tour next year.

[@juliendeschamp10]

It was a blast to follow you on this path Hunter, no matter how many miles away we are ! Best of luck for the Elite !

[@Sp33dyrabbit]

He definitely deserves everything he puts in all the hours all the work he needs to and he always finds the good in everything hunter is truly my inspiration and when things get hard I always look for the good in the bad. Thank you Hunter for changing my life!

[@TylerWoolcottfishing]

1 ounce inside that top 60. I think god was watching over you that day buddy, he couldn't picture a more deserving, dedicated person to give that spot to and neither can I. Congrats again bro, too happy for you!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks a lot bro!! At the end of the event I could've finished 93rd or better and still had qualified because so many guys got shuffled around! Who would have guessed that lol!! Hope to share the boat with ya again soon young hammer!

[@mgm_coma219]

This series, is without a doubt some of the best work ever produced in the fishing industry. Hunter you should be proud as hell man. Not only are you a talented fisherman but a hell of a film producer as well. Keep this series going if you can! You are changing the way we watch our awesome sport!

[@Leveluptackle]

Man those last few minutes were hard to watch without tearing up. This is what we all fight for, why we fish high school, college, club and local tournaments. We all want to make it to the big leagues and watching your journey to get there has been amazing. God bless and good fishing!

[@ChrisKingOutdoors]

Dude this is just on another level. I have said it before, but I mean it, you're tapped into a creative flow that is unmatched in our industry. It's an real honor following your journey step by step, the good and the bad! Congratulations on your amazing season brother, keep grindin' and see ya in 2018!!!

[@colonelvoodoo3314]

"Dream. Believe. Pursue." -- my kids will be hearing that phrase alot the next few years as they transition from kids to young adults; you're an inspiration to Anglers and your story of determination & hard-work will translate even to those who've never stepped foot in a boat; congratulations...well-earned!

[@jasondill5372]

Good job Hunter. I’m glad to see all your hard work paid off for you. My heart was racing so bad watching this. Shew!!! Congratulations on your Elite invite. Can’t wait to follow you again this year

[@HunterShryockFishing]

[@jonathanchristopher4352]

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks bro!!

[@archiemelton9777]

I so love this man's videos... He is real...he's humble. His passion and perseverance payed off. And in life... That's the 2 main ingredients you need to succeed. Thank you Hunter. 🐟#MyDayComing🐟

[@kevinjones7820]

I have been following you for a while, those year was my rookie start in the FLW BFL I have never seen anyone work that hard congratulations. You have inspired me to work even hard next year, Never Give Up on Your Dream!! I can't wait to see more.

[@gyulazoltankis1272]

Hey Man!You are AWESOME!Dont be sad, dont be furious dont be dissapointed..THIS IS FISHING, sometimes we go up sometimes, we go down..Just the result matter.You qualified, and you went on the road and reached your dream. I also zeroed, caught nothing on the last event on hungarian national spinning championship..But there was an awful weather, and we kept fishing on a huge storm.Just the result matter!Congratulation!!! You made a fantastic movie about you and your fishing! It gives us power! You supersize fishing and this lifestyle!THANK YOU from HUNGARY!!!!!CHEARS! and HUGS!

[@gyulazoltankis1272]

on more thing :#FORLIFE

[@clmfishing280]

I guess that ole boy knew what he was talking about when he said “you might not even have to catch one tomorrow”. One 0 for the day dosent reflect the hard work you put in all year. Good job!

[@alexjohnsonfishing]

This was one of the greatest videos I've ever seen in my life. Good lord.

[@camoxtreme]

The fact that you qualified for the Elites was a huge feat in and unto itself. But... to take all the extra time and effort to capture everything of film, and make a multi-episode documentary about it at the same time? And I don’t mean just videos watching somebody fish, because anybody can do that. The drone footage, extra camera angles, the personal commentary about what was going on in your head... all the way down to the episode story lines, editing, music, scene transitions, etc... to this story. The viewers can feel all your emotions from frustration and sadness, to determination and perseverance, all the way to your joy and happiness. This is “THE BEST” fishing documentary series out there, hands down. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following you on this epic journey. Now I can’t wait to see the what next chapter in you career brings. Congrats on making the Elites because you deserve it. IT WAS YOUR TIME!

[@showmefishingtv8968]

I was trying to think of something to say but as you scroll down all the comments everyone has covered everything good you could possibly say I'm just delighted watch your vids Hunter congratulations buddy keep dream alive we all support you and here soon I'm come to one of the events I'd love meet you in person your cool dude Ive had same dream you have since I was kid also I remember getting up weekends turning on tnn outdoors instead of cartoons

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

That’s freakin awesome. You have your opportunity now it’s time to run with it. Well deserved for sure.

[@aaronvella5031]

Thanks for reminding me why I love this sport!

[@FishFitness565]

Loved how you pointed up at 7.32. To God be the glory forever and ever.

[@tb0632]

Wow man, that intro = goosebumps. Great job on the season!

[@turtlemeat]

On day 2 my buddy and I both was checking our phones like crazy to see what the results was. When we saw day 2 didn't go your way we was super bummed. I couldn't imagine what those few hours was like waiting for the final results. I've been following you since 2014 and I can't wait to see how your rookie season goes. Good job man!

[@hudsonfishin1619]

Congrats Hunter been following you all throughout this season without missing a video awesome to see you succeed can't wait to continue following you!

[@Kykayakbasser]

Super awesome job, Hunter! Can't wait to see you perform in the elites, keep up the hard work, positive attitude (even when it sucks) and you'll remain consistent. Great job on your videos, one of the best fishing series on KZbin, because it's the real thing. Good luck!

[@donthalfbass9408]

This was by far the best fishing video I've ever watched.

[@therealeloks9993]

[@bassinbill96]

This is some raw and uncut emotion. I can't wait until I have the opportunity to fish the opens as a boater and try to accomplish the same feat. Congrats man you earned it! Now go mess em up on the elites next year 🎣

[@mikepatterson4320]

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thank you Jason!!!

[@BigRigOutdoors]

I've watched this three times over the last couple of months and it still tears me up there at the end. I can't wait to see what you do on the elites.

[@cameronbaker4468]

These videos are absolutely incredible, the work that goes into them really shows. Awesome series but even better fishing! Can't wait to watch you continue the success in the Elites! Thanks for taking us all along on your ride.

[@metalgrootvader6832]

Hunter I have been following this journey all year and I want to thank you for making us all a part of it. You may not know it but you have inspired me to pursue my own dream and a patent on a lure I invented. No, I am not asking you to try it or anything. I just want you to realize that your videos have had a profound impact on me and I am sure many others. I also want to tell you how much I appreciate the work you put into the channel. Top notch. Not too long ago I checked out the standings and saw you in 4th place. I was crushed. I thought only the top three made it. Well done to a fellow Buckeye State angler! ok...old man done babbling...

[@b.s.fishing5902]

Great video! I was wondering what had happened on day 2 when I was looking at the results. Awesome that everything worked out in the end. Now you and Fletcher need to challenge the Lee brothers for the Elite Series Brothers of the Year!!

[@keegan_mcwethy]

Congratulations Brother! We have been praying for you. If you didn’t know God was on your side you have to now! Can’t wait to see you killing it on the Elite Series!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks man! It showed!! And this yr has been special in many more ways than fishing, blessed for sure! !!

[@keegan_mcwethy]

Praise God! Keep God first on your journey, give him the glory, and you will be blessed! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Hunter that's great man good for you. I tiered up at the end. Man I have been rooting for you all season and I have watched all of your videos. I was in a tournament this summer and it was the only time I actually caught a full bag and me and dad went to way in and we went up to get our bag and that takes a second well we were wanting my dad went back to check on the fish and my live well had drained completely and all of our fish died. That was the only tournament we actually could have won something and that's how we lost.

[@beauparks6731]

Well fished and well deserved!!!!!

[@claytonpepper2827]

Dude I have no words! Throughout this whole season, the way you’ve documented it, and the passion...professionalism...being a ambassador for what competitive bass fishing should be. You have given so many that have watched this year, the truest example of, not only, how it should be done...but how it CAN be done. Thank you much for making these this year, they are truly deserving of a film making award to say the least. We don’t know each other, but I’m so proud of you brother! Look forward to following you closely on the Elites and just remember..keep the drive and the attitude you have and only great things will come! Thanks again

[@HunterShryockFishing]

So awesome!! Thanks Adrien! Means a lot!

[@ThomasHardenFishing]

Great video! Fishing tournaments ebb and flow, there are down times and up times. Any who has competed and worked hard to succeed in tournaments knows that feeling when you accomplish the goal at hand. The highs are high and the lows are low. Just keep working hard and when it is your time, it will be your time to shine. When you're flowing and things are going well seize the moment. When things start to ebb, Never Give Up. Keep Grinding. Great job making it to the next level. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing the pre planning for the event.

[@bitetime7767]

You're the greatest! Cheers from Germany!

Two words for you my friend. "Impossible Nothing" Not sure who said it first. But you show everyone those words ring true look forward to seeing you kick butt on the elite trail.

[@boostedassasins]

Hunter , I’ve probably watch this series 200 times. No joke. The videos over and over again. With the hope that I achieve the goal next year of qualifying for the elite series next year. Sometimes when I’ve been down your videos really do pick me up and get me motivated again. This last video was amazing. Definitely put a tear in my eye. I’m so happy to have cheered you on throughout the season. Now I’m up to bat. I’m going to swing for the fences as well. Your videos have been a crutch for me. I’m sure they will be this coming season when I am put to the test. Good luck see you soon, Mike

[@donbaine118]

God needs more people to competing in his name. For his glory. Go and fight with a warrior's heart! That's what he wants you to do!!
