We used to love to come to Norris and throw float and fly in winter in late 90s early 2000s. Love your content because it’s is what we do here.

[@codybuchanan3972]

Me and my dad where best friends. We fished together every weekend. Lake Norman, Hickory. Those are special places to me. I've never committed before but I enjoy your content. God bless

[@CodySeeberFishing]

The badger strikes again! you've been on a tear with that lure bud!

[@brianathern9154]

That's great to see brother. You were down and feeling it then the spot you and Dad wore out in the past was the medicine. So many times fishing has helped me reset and I'll need to do it again in a month. The guys and me are going ice fishing rod i need the therapy for my heart as well after a very recent loss. Thanks for sharing with us and wearing it on your sleeve when its not so easy. Blessings Aaron for y'all in 2024

[@jimwarden9617]

At 13:24…that fish tried to pull your rod under the boat…cool.

[@RevelsGang]

Very inspirational we're proud of you man!!!

[@frankbogden4875]

Glad you have the positive memories of your dad on the water. As time goes by, you will find the places that spark the memories are treasures.

[@dariusking2927]

Great video Alex 💯💯

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Awesome tournament looks cold lol great video

[@tylermclain7648]

Keep up the grind good sir!

[@MrFishingOhio]

My wife eats the exact same sandwich, she was mad we didn’t have any turkey after you showed the cross section haha

[@OhioAngler]

As always Alex Ty for taking the time to include us on your journey glad it was a day of good memories losing parents sucks I’ve been through it too it gets better with time but they are always with you

[@bassaholicfishing]

Thanks a lot now i have 4 of these crankbaits on the way using your links 😂

[@robjones7410]

I think Pops was letting you know that he was there with you!

[@Codyhainley_fishing]

Good job! When are you picking up your new kayak?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Should be this month 🤞🏻

[@TheUncontrollableYeti]

Turkey & Salami sammich is a legit lunchtime option. Try Turkey & Pastrami with pepperjack w some sour cream & cheddar tater chips smashed in there next time.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Currently eating a turkey and salami while replying this comment 😂👊🏻 - I’ll will try yours next time!

[@mikegardiner3934]

hey Alex, yucky day but it turned out well. My dad passed away sept2022, and while I bass fish most times, I used to take him crappie fishing north and of Lanier. It was hard to go back to same area, but I finally did this past sept. Great memories!

[@Twangtown7]

Good stuff bubba. Just know your pops is always riding along with ya whenever you're out there fishing...and any time for that matter. It's ok to be happy. He wants you to be happy.

[@dennistidwell7188]

When you first put in, I was back at Lewis Smith fishing with my dad. Precious memories, how they linger ....

[@maryannegreenslade78]

Great day of fishing Alex, your dad was that spark for you. I lost my mom on mother's Day when I was 33, I lost my dad of fathers day when I was 5 1/2. My dad taught me how to fish, and I think of him when I am on the water 🙏🙏🙏

[@alexbenson7022]

I like the simple setup in the yak Alex. Just a couple rods, no motor. Nice little cove there. I need to quit bringing 8 damn rods every time I go out 😅. I am wanting to get one of those nets, do you like it pretty well?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Net: tinyurl.com/FrabillNet - I’ve got three, one for the boat, kayak, and a back up.

[@jasonjones6718]

Thanks for your videos man I know how u feel lost my mom from cancer as well. It's tough praying for you and your family God bless hopefully see you on the water🎣👍

[@michaelcampbell01985]

Hey Alex, I wanted to share a negative and positive with you. (Negative) Someone stole my credit and debt card by cutting the lock off my locker at the gym. I had just cash my grandmother's Christmas check to me, so I had around 250 bucks on in my wallet. They got a free tank of gas and free food out of me. Totaling around 300 bucks. (Positive) If I had waited to cash that check after I left the gym, they would have had my account number and my grandmother's account number. I'm applying negative positive thinking this year. For anything negative I'm going to try and look for the positive. Also, I didn't know your dad, but I know he's smiling down on you and is very proud of you.

[@willjunkin732]

Im glad you went out. Thank you again gor sharing your journey. That moneybadger is something else. I have caught 5 of my last 8 on it. Keep after it 👊🏻

[@keithwaldroop961]

Heck yeah. Nice job money badger.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

I’m proud of you Alex like always for putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation and I know you grew and it’s all baby steps brother ❤👊

[@holdenhenrysilver5147]

Thanks for the great content and being such a genuine human being. I usually only get to listen to the podcast, but really enjoyed the video. Santa brought my 9yr. old son a canoe for Christmas so I can start transitioning him from bank fishing urban ponds to exploring the lakes and rivers around Virginia. We are in the process of outfitting it. I am going right now to use your link to buy the net you use. Keep on keeping on, Rudd. You reach more people than you will ever know.

[@2873lonewolf]

Another banger video on water. That darn weather sure did play with you. Many people have these same feelings, whether its the date, place or Holiday struggle. Thats meant as, there are alot of people that stand by you and understand. Just glad to see you're getting over that hump and can be at peace with your father, every time you're on the water. Lets make 2024 a year of growth and love for all ♥

[@sanmansfishingadventure]

Man, you're killing even with cold temps. I went out and skunked last weekend😅

[@brandontaylor5324]

I don’t think it’s ironic at all that we just talked about that particular spot . Gave me cold chills. Awesome video

[@tonyb-50]

How deep does that bait go?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

10-12’

[@PopPopFishing]

Dude I’m telling you that money badger has killed it for me in any conditions but in this cold weather … aside from a few shaky head and jerk bait bites the money badger has caught 90 % of our catches lately. Hang in there and keep that positivity!!!

[@willjunkin732]

100% agree. There is something about that crankbait. Caught 5 of last 8 on it.

[@joshwagner8468]

I love that lure. Ive had awesome luck with it as well. Ive got like 5 of them lol. Awesome video as always alex. Lets go 👊

[@clintjenkins13]

Attention to details. I don’t know if it was editing or what but it was almost like when you paused to adjust something boom fish on! And I swear the money badger should be out of stock 😂

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I did notice that!

[@jasonrosenberger8157]

Don't look like you noticed a few of them bites came right after a pause...a technique you taught me that I don't see you using more 🤔..great video thanks for all you do keep grinding.....ps...your dad's looking down so proud of you...he'd never want you to stop doing something you both love....you'll 100% have them day's however...sorry for your loss ...prayers for you and your family

[@AlexRuddFishing]

That’s what I love about recording is I get to see the details after the fact 👊🏻

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Another fun video to watch 😎 Thanks for sharing…need a new net, would ya share yours here? 👊

[@bobbyhogan9207]

@@AlexRuddFishing thank you Sir 👊😎

[@Mjones8383]

Yeah buddy I lost my mom The Friday after Thanksgiving, and my dog of 14 years New Years eve, and I haven't been fishing since before her death. I want to but sleep is not happening and when I wake up I'm just not wanting to do anything.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Buddy there’s nothing I can say to make it better. I will say from experience though get up and force yourself to do something.

[@Wrongomer]

I should of stayed in the car..... 😅

[@JaredKirkwood]

You seem to take a minimal amount of tackle when you fish from a kayak. How do you decide what to take?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

In this case water temp. I knew that they should be eating a crankbait, if not that a jerkbait, if not that a ned/jig, if not that I was going to the house lol

[@bluebullbt]

❤

[@Redneckrino]

Hell yea man you convinced me to get one of those $ Badger 🦡
