Kayak Bass Fishing in Smaller Water

[@IRBent2]

2 years later with the help of friends like Hans, you now have a junk drawer to keep your attractant in. Easy access just slide it out a tad, at least that's where mine is, front and center. This newbie enjoys your tips. Thank you sir.

[@markbee5260]

Great tip on the hook removal Chad.. never saw that before. Really good video brother!

[@garyregier6249]

Chad, You are the king of small water, and stocked ponds.

[@jamescoffey2007]

Chad great video. Thanks for the tips especially the deep set hook one. It's awesome to learn a tip that will save some fish. I appreciate it and so do all the fish it will potentially save.

[@wessmallwood-angler7719]

I will be the first to admit that prior to watching his vids and seeing this tip in a few of them, I either had to cut the hook or hurt a lot of fish. I just did not know how to safely remove the hook. Now, I have confidence that I can remove a deep hook and watch the fish swim off with plenty of fight left in him! Had one like this yesterday, and was the biggest fish of the day and was glad he lived to fight another day b/c of tips like this...

[@rm709]

You are amazing Mr. Hoover! Love seeing a notification pop up about your uploads!

[@jorgaba2865]

Nice video, Chad -- lots of good tips packed into 10 minutes!

[@b.s.fishing5902]

Great video and tips! I love how right as you tell him to keep his hand at the grip when landing a fish he moved it up the rod...

[@dennisnicholson952]

I saw your channel mentioned on Loren Johnson's LoJo Fishing channel. I see that you are an angler who likes to help others such as myself to be better fishermen. Thanks, brother, and tight lines!

[@bassdojo]

Thank you for the tip on removing hooks in the gullet. I feel bad, but I've killed a few fish doing more damage when trying to save them. I will definitely try you method and hopefully they can live to be caught another day. Much appreciated.

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Great video Chad !!! Thanks for all your tips !!!

[@JCSanto]

There is an angler in Brazil who fishes from an 11ft Barracuda kayak with nothing more than a tackle bag, a small cooler and 2 or 3 rods. He catches alot of huge fish in the Amazon river ....as a blue collar guy myself I can relate alot with the simplicity of that kind of kayak angling.

[@ScuffedThumbZFishing]

Exciting to see the confluence guy with you. Im fortunate enough to work for ABF freight the primary carrier for Confluence. So I get to deliver these great yaks to your customers and its alot of fun.

[@joshkendrick9468]

Awesome tips Chad

[@brettbowman7140]

First video I have watched of yours and I have already learned a handful of things. Very informative sir and I like it. I'll be following you from here on out.

[@bheineez]

Love watching your channel, up in Saskatchewan Canada. water gets too hard to kayak this time of year. I'm a wilderness guy, ATAK 140 and Radar 135. Thanks for your challenge to drop pounds... Im a big guy too

[@joec3377]

Lol the peeing part hit home. I always empty the blatter before going out on the water.

[@Number10Hunter]

Hanna baron sent me, nice video with great information

[@theirishman8455]

[@Fishingchanneltv]

8:19 I catch alot of that in Portugal, if you like that you should come here :) thumbs up

[@fatmaninayak1264]

Best pond fisherman around! How about some moving water fishing.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Fat Man in a Yak I do a lot of those, search my channel for the river episodes.

[@NautiFish1]

Good stuff

[@runway929]

Chad, which Lowrance fishfinder are you using in the ATAK 140???

[@mikelusML]

That ATAK 120 is sweet

[@markharding6582]

What is that top rack that you have on the front of the truck cab?

[@tannerswaringen6789]

Chad I have a question for you. Do you listen to fishing podcasts? If you do, which ones are your favorite.

[@BODenKai]

[@jamesmetzer1746]

Tired the deep hook removal tip. You have help save many fish thank you and will be watching more.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

[@Dimmu666ist]

[@LetsGoRavens]

@kayakbassinTV do you have a video about getting into kayaks. something for beginners? and do I need a partner to start with?

[@blakerollins94]

Hendersonville NC?

[@olddominionoutfitters1272]

I wish my neighborhood pond had a duck blind!

[@MiniVanMTB]

@kayakbassfishing @columbia1938 Good vid, can't stand my anchor trolley, can't afford a power pole so thinking about a Bernie's River Stick. Thoughts?

[@dylanmorgan8620]

what is that blue rod that you are using

[@birdys_travels]

ALL PRO RODS about the only thing he uses from what i have seen

[@dylanmorgan8620]

ok i will have to check it out

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Dylan Morgan All Pro Rods EL series.

[@larrytrudell8507]

@kayakbassfishing@columbia1938 my hats off to you! also like the hooded sweat shirt you have ! how can i get one? thanks my friend

[@baseballdad746]

@kayakbassfishing I love that bright colored @columbia1938 hat. One question about it though: I've always heard that when that close to the water, you should be wearing camo or muted colors so the bass don't see you. Obviously, you wore that bright hat and still caught fish just fine. Is that whole thing a myth? (If it is, go ahead and send me one of those bright colored hats. LOL)

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Coach Dad #16 nope, I believe in it. I wear very subdued colors when I'm truly "hunting" for big fish in shallow water.

[@crazyasianofpa1]

Does the C on your glasses stand for Chad? Another awesome video.

[@jamessordahl10]

Good video, but was the b roll of you pissing on your tire necessary? lol

[@___melanie]

James Sordahl, Gross that he did it, and really gross that they showed it. Ew

[@lambertoutdoors]

I've made a few Ohio Pond fishing videos too, good video

[@Daniel_Tucker]

🤙🏻

[@acnjshink]

Chad, Great video, way to get on them, it’s always good to have another person throwing something different to figure out what the fish want that day. BioEdge Wand you turned me on to this a few years back, it definitely puts more fish in the Yak.

[@Olm9]

At 8:50 I had to give up watching the video. The music was too loud and I couldn't hear a thing

[@jesse-45cal-WCM]

@kayakbassfishing and @columbia1938 are my favorite words to type. I am a vet Chad and would love to have one of the grey hats with the flag. The past two years I have had several major medical problems that have kept me off the water. I have only been able to fish the past couple of months. The hat would complete my outdoor wardrobe. Pick me please. USA all the way.

[@olddominionoutfitters1272]

I need a community pond with a duck blind

[@ChadHooverFishing]

+Old Dominion Outfitters yes you do.

[@isaivelasquez3054]

What kind of kayak is that

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Fishing Goon Wilderness Systems ATAK 140

[@isaivelasquez3054]

KayakBassinTV thank you

[@fatmaninayak1264]

We don't understand the power pole in a pond thing. could you not of just tied off to the fountain in the middle?

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Fat Man in a Yak the power pole helps maintain pinpoint position, it also creates drag in the water to keep the wind from spinning my kayak even when I don't put it all the way down. There is a lot more to it for me than just tying off to something, it's also the convenience of tapping a button and dropping the pole quietly, then raising it and lowering it to let the wind "ease" me into a spot.

[@fatmaninayak1264]

jisterKIS I don't remember asking you and I do not need you telling me where it can be used.

[@fatmaninayak1264]

jisterKIS # 1 mind your own business.#2 I was making fun of the world greatest pond fisherman. #3 I'm not mad it's just fun upsetting you.#4 Hoover had already made a comment explaining the power pole. you must be a Democrat because they always take credit for someone else's answers.#5 make a video and and post it but only after you get permission from your mom.

[@frankvandalen4883]

Why the music? It's aggravating. No music at all would be better. If I need music, I'll turn on my own. Thnx I like the show otherwise.
