Creds for being a timestamper on your own video

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

Over 2 years and no videos . Hope all is well mate . KZbin misses you , hopes to see you soon and back to your best . Tight lines from the UK .

[@NathanVanGilder]

Rest In Peace my friend. Thank you for introducing me to BFS fishing. Your videos were a wealth of knowledge when virtually no one was making videos about UltraLite Baitcasting gear.

[@jadeolin8514]

Hope you come back someday man, really miss you and your vlogs. Hope all is well with the new baby and the family.

[@jayludvigh6958]

BCSG was invaluable to me when I first got into BFS fishing back in 2015. I still benefit from reviewing the videos here. I hope all is well with the creator and his family and hope that his situation will improve to the point that he posts some new material. In any case, I do want to say thanks for all the help you have given me and others.

[@claypoole90]

What happened? Why did he quit posting?

[@jatjat7659]

Could be migrated

[@singaporehikers]

He past away

[@kynetan8945]

Missed his videos

[@jay-8275]

Dude really miss your vlogs man

[@ProfitStudyGt]

You're our community father You're our fishing buddy You're our fishing mentor Lastly, you're my bro and a forever bro Your passing is sudden but I'll remember whatever you've taught me, guided me throughout my fishing journey... Not just me, but all of us! I'll hold on your legacy and with the rest, we'll carry on the strongest fishing spirit here none other than, Singapore. Go on buddy, go on the other side, be the one and only Angler that no one can beat and always remember tight lines! Rest easy, Bryan.

[@bfsjunkie6115]

Rest is peace, thank you for all the knowledge I’ve gathered through your videos. You will be missed.

[@FirearmNoob]

From the USA here and just wanted to drop a comment and say I started watching your videos about a month ago and I've been hooked. I love your commentary and how you explain gear, tackle, and tactics. Sorry to hear about the state of fishing in Singapore. Your explanation of the situation is very coherent as you hoped it would be and I hope changes come in the near future. Until then, I hope you continue to fish and publish videos! I've always wanted to visit Singapore and hope to do so sometime in the near future and maybe get to fish some of your favorite spots. Also congrats to you and Mrs. BSSG, wishing you bundles of joy!

[@huaihuanwong5551]

really interesting opinions! one of my favorite fishing channels, not just in SG, but globally! hope to see more vids from you

[@cearly1696]

Damn...I just found your channel and I love your work. I wish you the best and congrats on your new family. I really hope you reconsider on the videos as your find your new balance in life. I think you offer a unique fishing perspective especially for English speakers who are interested in your style of fishing. There really isn’t another channel like this on KZbin. Thanks and hope to see something from you soon.

[@marksardar4557]

Just started ultralight fishing. Great fun learning to cast. Was so happy to find this #1 channel but so disappointed when the content ran out. Hope to see you back.

[@Tall-Guy-Fishing]

Nice to see you are still alive that side bud! Keep up the good work

[@EddieLindsay681]

Congrats on the baby sir, I have my first on the way as well and is due in October. We have had had a unusually rainy spring here in Maryland as well but I have been getting out every now and then. Love your vids and you have inspired me to try BFS . Tight Lines and Fish On sir

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

BCSG , hope your family and you have a healthy and safe new year! Miss your post!

[@andrewwolf8652]

Miss your content, Hope you comeback soon!

[@MrSlowheel]

Excellent perspective bro. Keep up your perseverance.

[@gizmocarr3093]

I would like tell you how much I enjoy you channel. I hope to see you continue your channel soon.

[@soarthur1]

honestly love your content... miss such an honest and heartfelt content creator

[@mashbassing1152]

I miss watching your videos can't wait for an update I hope you continue with your KZbin channel

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Hope you and your family are doing fine!! Hope to hear from you soon!

[@deadom3]

Hey BCSG, Just wanna let you know that your videos helped me immensely when I started out fishing in 2018. I remember catching my first two peacock basses at Kranji reservoir and to make the day even better, I ran into the great BCSG on the same day! It rained heavily after that but u mentioned u were here to just get a couple of casts in. I still have the wefie we took together on that day as well. After watching this video, I somehow had a feeling that the videos would stop and sadly it did. I'm sure you have good reasons to as well. In fact everything you said in the video resonated strongly with me and I feel more and more restricted as a fisherman in Sg. However, if you do feel up to it some day and want to restart the videos may I suggest doing saltwater videos for a change? I feel like there are much more extensive saltwater legal areas than freshwater - which is getting more and more restricted as time goes by in Singapore, who knows where the authorities will ban next. But one thing they can't ban is the wide open sea, be it jetty fishing, beach fishing, shore fishing or boat fishing. There's also a lot of good knowledge that a master like yourself could share regarding rigs, baits, setups. I've learnt most of my basics of freshwater luring from you and I'm sure many others have too. Thanks for everything and for inspiring my passion in fishing. Tight lines, my friend.

[@rifqiii7508]

Very well said! Im with u man!!

[@visisloth]

Wow, I feel really lucky to live in a place where there is a lot of fishing. I hope the future brings you regular opportunities to fish. And I hope things go smoothly for you and your wife.

[@reviewer1015]

Funny how Singapore used to be a fishing village

[@fishingaccount9507]

actually ironic

[@Brown_Potato]

actually non-existent

[@IronMikeyT]

can we all appreciate how great of a channel this was? make the come back bcsg!!!

[@TimHaunFishing]

I went back and watched a lot of your BFS related videos and only just realized that your last upload was in 2018. Hope you're doing well man and I hope I get that notification someday saying you uploaded.

[@Zahng]

I remember watching your videos years ago as a young fisherman and I just recently stumbled upon them again. Sad to see you haven’t been posting anymore.

[@kalunvinka]

Miss this channel soooooo much.

[@ggpaintballer]

Hey, nothing specific to the video. Just wanted to say I really enjoy you channel. Been watching for a year or two.

[@uniquefishinglures633]

It has been a very long time now since your update we miss you so much. Hope you are ok and family are all well. Best wishes for the future.

[@syedmehdi47]

Where were u lost mate.. it has been bloody long since last vids ✌🏻congrats on the bundle of joy in the House 😊 hope u post vids regularly.. it’s nice to see you after such a long time. Yes Singapore weather is cranky.. haha and I feel you mate as to how much u wanna say and shout about sg and what’s holding you back 😉 all said and done sg is one of the best countries in the world and ur hearing it from a non sg citizen.. I say it coz I was there few years.. yes the Govt authorities must relax a bit and let anglers enjoy the fishing..

[@leesuper73]

I just found your channel. You have great content. You should continue the great work.

[@rougestan]

Well said truly.....on a side note, do consider being a radio VJ!! You hv the voice for it

[@leeterence8764]

I'm with you man

[@artvandalay541]

Similar things have happened to us in Hawaii on the island of Oahu with regard to freshwater fishing. In a couple of instances, the bureaucrats in charge didn’t want people fishing because they regarded the fish as pets and they didn’t want people to catch them. Sometimes there is no justifiable reason. They’re on a power trip and they just get a kick out of telling people ,”No!”.

[@mojondro]

Finally bro what's up man I'm missing you big time

[@chewee651]

The BFS community needs this guy back! Great content and the reason I know anything about BFS.

[@Jpeace530]

BCSG hope all is well with you!

[@LittleGunz]

RIP Legend and a figure known to all singaporean fisherman. Your knowledge will be remember by all.

[@kishor5389]

rip sir 🕊

[@suckfoulthumbs]

Hey man, how's it going bro? I hope all is well with you and your family. A huge fan of yours. If only I found your channel much earlier, I could've at least had something to look forward to back then when you were posting regularly. You have been a huge influence to why and how I fish. The passion is real in you and likewise for many of us in the community. I was at Pandan recently, "walking a pretty tight rope" like you mentioned, and I caught a good 6-7 fishes in the span of an hour. It's such a waste to have an extremely wonderful fishing spot to be ruined by non compromise by the governing bodies. Well, I hope you can come back and create more great content(despite your busy schedule with work and family) because your channel is one of those channels that I could really binge watch to. It's nice to see how you've been missed by all your subscribers. Till then, take care and stay safe bro.

[@davecockayne8491]

Best wishes for the future...baby and fishing!

[@jennylo7947]

Totally feel you... that’s why I am going oversea for my fishing trip..

[@UBWR2022]

Hope BCSG returns to KZbin soon !

[@andychoe2486]

nice speech! i do understand how ya feel. That why i shift to sw luring but still sw doesn't mean don't have legal and illegal especially saw e sign "stateland"

[@mystedavid]

hi @BCSG Fishing, it has been 2 years since your last video. I hope you're blissfully happy with being a father. Hope that you can continue the channel with more educational videos about fishing and how to teach young children the Do's and Don'ts about fishing etc. Coz I have a young son that adores fishing for some reason, and I have never fished in my entire life. So I'm looking to youtube as my teacher (your videos have taught me a lot, thank you so much for that). Hope to see baby BCSG in your new videos (if you decide to continue the channel). Also, some would like to know how is the fishing situation currently compared to 2 years ago. And how's things been for you. Cheers!

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Dude you need to move here to the US, awesome fishing, it’s been over a year, good luck if you happen to see this 👌

[@adehall8504]

GREAT video, elegantly and eloquently presented. As a Brit I’m used to freshwater fishing with artificial baits as the exception rather than the rule and so in Singapore I feel stymied before I even begin. I’ve just gotten myself some gear for targeting PB, Toman et al, but the availability of places to fish is, as you rightly say, bafflingly restricted. My Son and I are looking to go to Malaysia for traditional float fishing approaches. Not man made ponds where baskets of fish are released and folks fish with line that would be better suited to hang out your washing on, and proximity to the next angler that risks claims of sexual molestation with each cast. Haha. I just got a bait caster reel and will soon take that out to figure out how to use it. Sad;y in those restricted places. It’s a shame...

[@BFSFISHINGCHANNEL]

Rest well BCSG…

[@fishyoutdoors83]

Probably not any comfort to you, but here in Norway freshwater fishing is restricted to 3 months from mid june to around mid september, and many places earlier. Now the lakes are covered in ice from November to june. And there is no sunlight for 2 months from November to January. But we can fish on the ice from February until the ice melt renders that unsafe. I never really took to it, so in the winter months, I saltwater fish if it is not to cold. On the other hand, we have thousands of natural lakes and rivers to fish in when it is possible to do so :-D

[@linekerkb]

Yes we can fishing anywhere back in my teens amd the catch rate was good. 5lg more bigger Toman every trip.

[@liamtapispisan8146]

When will u be back bro its been 1yr

[@mrzpkinggt7827]

He have a baby so he took a break from fishing

[@Tezido]

That fish tank is dope af!

[@dreammjsg8661]

I guess after all PUB are just doing their job but to our anglers its definitely upset seeing lesser fishing ground in Singapore , let's hope for the best and really hope someone from relevant agencies can hear our voices.

[@gman69455]

I feel you man. My wife spent the entire last month of pregnancy on bed rest in the hospital last July- August. Good luck.

[@BCSGFishing]

Oh my boy is just having a party in there, I never expected to be scared to see so much movement and pain that I would be worried she may explode haha...

[@gman69455]

Yeah it’s definitely an experience unlike any other.

[@dirkcraft9728]

I love your channel.

[@YLSG]

Hey BCSG, Great Video! the sports of fishing hakes no moola for the country. Drinking etc is seen as safer and healthier entertaintment because it brings the moola in....

[@EnddyFishing]

same goes for me.. last week having a bad day fishing, but we have a great day...

[@darrenlow4733]

wa no videos for so long? waited n waited for 4 yrs, still waiting

[@syedmehdi47]

Hey man pls come back

[@LoneRiderz]

Nooo! I haven't fished in months, due to my wife's pregnancy. I just bought a new setup as he's going into childcare this week. I thought I'd drop by Pandan come Monday. Damn you PUB! I was really looking forward to it. Pandan is the only freshwater spot I fish.

[@shahrulasuszen5773]

That true bro...nice video..kids now like stay at home play video game handphone..no more outdoor activities

[@PowerAnglerzTV]

Iam with you too brother ; )

[@KamikazePidgey]

As a newbie who just started 1 year ago, i really struggle to get to fishing spots with many illegal fishermen. Netting, baiting, even those who dabao fishes back. Its a constant struggle to get to fish to be honest. I’m not a fan of illegal fishing as well... i hope they employ some sort of licensing in singapore like the US?? Even if i have to attend a day of course, i wouldn’t mind at all if i can get to fishing spots with decent fishing.

[@mashbassing1152]

That absolutely sucks some of the ponds I used to fish I can't anymore but that is just on a whole nother level

[@vuduraids8382]

Hi BCSG Fishing! I love your videos btw can i ask you a question i want to start ul bc and i have the $150 BFS Set up(kuying teton ttc642L and tsuriyona xf50 L). I was going to ask if i get a kuying teton ul(bc),which reel should i use shimano aldeberan or daiwa ss air.

[@robinyu1429]

hi i am a beginner may i know what light/ultralight spinning reel is recomended sub 200 , was considering penn conflict 1000 is that any good?

[@TheMass33]

I hope u keep making videos

[@jakubbanasiewicz651]

Hi! Have you tested the Kastking Blackhawk II already? Can't wait for your review!

[@seaweed894]

It may due to the bad light some of the local anglers give. There are people regularly using baits at Pandan when it is illegal to do so as well as litter which i feel caused them to close the areas.

[@mervinkong1210]

Awesome!

[@djiflyer_mavic5912]

its been 2 years since ur last vids BCSG. Any updates,how's title dad going? Still fishing?

[@michaellewis9433]

Is there any good Saltwater fly fishing in Singapore? I would have thought somewhere around Sentosa?

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Hi mate, not sure if your still posting...., I’m looking at my first bfs rod and I’m looking at the ace hawk cu602ul and the tsurinoya Ajing.... any thoughts?

[@anthonyoh9488]

Nice 1 man.

[@zefe3886]

Bro. Where have you been? Its been 2 years. We all miss your vlog and reviews man

[@satheeskumar2739]

Omg thanks for preaching!!! I agree!! i can say the same for other hobbies too, like RC planes Drone flying ect. There are not many place near by that we can go too. its always 30 to 60 mins away. How can we chage this ???

[@ivanryoga8267]

Dude what’s going on ? Why no more updates? Miss your video a lot ,hope to see your updates soon.

[@DanangSulistyo]

im here from indonesia 🇮🇩, really missing your fishing vlog, you help me to do fishing vlog in my country

[@suhaimiramli259]

Thumbs up bro !!!!!

[@xiangni15]

Come back bro!

[@kentohonda7482]

i like how he leaves youtube with this being the last video.

[@RworldKM]

A friend of mine bashed his way into the middle of mandai jungle to fish. Halfway fishing a helicopter came down and hovered right in front of them above the water and with a loudspeaker shouted at them to identify themselves. Turns out that a part of Mandai is a classified military zone. I can agree we need more legal grounds, definitely without a doubt. But when we go where we definitely cannot go, it's a hellava experience.

[@claypoole90]

Since you’re from the same area perhaps you know why he stopped posting videos all together?

[@JE-sg5pi]

Hope to see a video soon, are u still out there?????? We like your BFS fishing u still got the xf50??? How is it held up????

[@MiniFun92]

So what is up with daiwa 705 tmhb? Is it good? How it feels?

[@FishAtWill]

RIP bro

[@breamis9942]

Can you do a video of fishing the kastking blackhawk? I am thinking of getting one of those for light saltwater fishing.

[@felixklassen9187]

I like you, you are great!

[@aneesaafaf672]

Hi Bro, where r u? Missed yur vlog . . . Pls come back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mrzpkinggt7827]

[@cminghan]

[@xcre8ionx]

The problem is there is no fish..

[@theos5219]

[@sylvesterzhang1197]

RIP Bryan

[@marioochoa4213]

Miss your your vibes

[@jacobeasler433]

Would like to see what aliexpress budget bfs reel you recommend in 2023-2024.

[@josepimann7384]

Canada is very welcoming. Literally a million places to fish freshwater or salt.

[@ironmonkey4o8]

Hey man. I'm 4 years too late with giving you a proper follow. I stumbled upon your channel from trying to decide if the Kastking Blackhawk II any good as a telescopic fishing rod. From that video of you reviewing a few of the telescopic rods, I ended up here. Hope you and your family are good. You're very articulate when ranting about your elected officials. lol You should get elected so you can be in charge and have a fisherman's voice.lol Tight lines man....

[@AgneyaKulkarni]

Hey, i dont know if you will read this but can we please have an update video on your current situation??

[@tyleraung652]

In your fishing tank two zebra tilapias still healthy and look so nice mr. Bryan

[@matinansari7970]

[@kai-tx9lw]
