Both parties handled that very professionally

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks 🙏

[@mattorschell275]

It was handled exactly like I thought it should of been handled. Very professional.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Matt

[@OzarkBassinTV]

i didnt even know you had a youtube! scott needs to shout you out more!

[@sickofidiots4095]

@Matt Orschell I'm not sure what video you watched, but hopefully one day you're able to experience the same type of "professionalism" this idiot demonstrated in his own video. You definitely wouldn't be commending him, but hey, what does that matter, right?

[@mattorschell275]

@@sickofidiots4095 so your calling Bradley Hallman an Idiot? How do you think it should of been handled???

[@sickofidiots4095]

@@mattorschell275 Idiot is putting it mildly. "BULLY", "ASSHOLE" and thoughtless MORON" would be other terms, to name just a few. As far as how I would have "handled it", it wouldn't have involved bullying a fellow competitor with my demands and then wedging my boat against his in a 25 foot wide creek.

[@lannyseals2084]

I'm not a tournament angler, but seems to me you both stayed level headed and worked through it

[@egomaniac247]

Agreed, they were respectful and offered up a compromise.

[@markcagle9869]

Great video Bradley. You’re definitely one of my favorite anglers to watch because you show us the “good, the bad and the ugly” and not all the fluff. Appreciate your honesty.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciated! All sides are needed and there are more down times for most fisherman than up. Just a fact of life!

[@bassjunky3816]

Bradley, thanks for being real on your channel. This is a great realistic video of the trials and tribulations of a competitive bass fisherman.

[@jefflucas2965]

That was very professional! That's a discussion of two competitors who find a solution to a problem both are having to deal with.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for your feedback as always Jeff. Appreciate your support.

[@Mj-bg2uj]

You guys both handled it with sportsmanship.. well done .. 2 men just having a conversation and figuring out how to resolve it .. that’s the way it’s supposed to be

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks 🙏

[@harryestep2488]

Enjoyed your honesty and showing the reality of what can happen in fishing! Keep up the good work/content!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

You bet man thanks for watching

[@darrellbowen1582]

I thought you both handled it pretty well ! Sportsmanship at its finest ! Good job !

[@hunterbigwood4556]

Spot on. Nobody wants to run into that situation in a tournament but if they do this is absolutely the way it should be handled👍🏻

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Most do not like to start a day of fishing like that. It’s just happens sometimes if you do it enough.

[@jimwhite3096]

I appreciate the real look into tournament fishing , pulling for you in the future opens

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Jim

[@edpelkey7798]

I did not see a problem with either one of you! You both stayed calm and worked it out pretty quickly, 👏

[@morganboyd581]

Perfectly done sir. I love the comment "I can't fish behind you going 2 mph all day. " Been there, done that and the dude I was dealing with was not professional. He said he'd go, didn't for 20 minutes so I just went around him. As I went around he got lippy so I repeated go or don't, to which he got lippy again so I went around him and left him a trail of skeg mud for being an ahole.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Many reactions and opinions in this but that’s one of the reasons I posted the video was to share and conversation on the subject! Thanks for your feedback Morgan

[@aaronsnatic2446]

First chance to watch. I feel you both handled it well. Yea Billy being the co-angler in the other boat made it interesting LOL!

[@robpatterson2441]

Thanks for sharing! You handled that very well.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

I believe this situation was handled very professionally and is a great example of good sportsmanship! A good way to split the creek up between two boats of anglers allowing all parties to have an equal shot at the area that is about to be fished! Kudos to you and the gentleman operating the other boat! I believe everyone could learn a lil something about true sportsmanship from this little encounter!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for your honest feedback.

[@MrHabitat009]

Love this channel. Such awesome content and I like how straightforward he is and his honesty.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Glad you like it! Appreciate your feedback

[@restless7528]

Good job both of ya!

[@TNbronze]

That was handled by gentlemen. ☝🏻

[@rustyscopano2667]

I thought both of you handled that very professionally and you definitely did the right thing.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the feedback Rusty.

[@casenwallacefishing4450]

Mad respect! You let him know he can't just be in front of the mouth if others planned to fish it. That's a small creek to be in those glitter rockets lol!

[@BassFishingWithTKHeaven]

Sir, way to keep the whole video real!! Your definitely somebody I’d love to be in the boat with. When I fished local tourneys for a while the camera was definitely second for me as well, then it was like, damn it wish I had the camera on haha!!! As always stay safe and tight lines!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the feedback! Cameras are always an issue

[@BassFishingWithTKHeaven]

Bradley Hallman agreed!!

[@billygottabass]

You’re 1st class brother!!!! 👍👍👍

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

So are you bro! Enjoyed hanging with you this year it’s been fun and we are only halfway! See ya in Alabama.

[@getthenet2358]

Perfect example of both parties being professional! Great example of sportsmanship for all. Great video

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks! Your KZbin handle was Jason Christie’s custom Oklahoma license plate for many years back in the day when we were young. GetheNet

[@getthenet2358]

Bradley Hallman that’s cool. When I fished on the Potomac many years ago a buddy and I had a secret bait we made and we always called it “Get the Net” great stuff. Great video. Thanks for all you do!

[@surgprep1]

Hmmmm.....he wasn't in the wrong.

[@jasonclauss267]

Not only are you a stud pro angler, you also promote leadership qualities! Well done!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Jason appreciate your support

[@michaelhavran7239]

Tell em BIG “B” 😝 you handled it the right way bubba no doubt👍 I look up to all you guys keep up the good work

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate it man!

[@kevinwhiteman667]

That was absolutely the right way to handle the situation. Very professional, but as you say had the creek only gone back 100 yards....well different kinda conversation then. That punching deal to me is like brush piles, it’ll make your head spin. Good video!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

The brush is where they wrecked em in this event! Wish I would have played that game!

[@kevinwhiteman667]

Bradley Hallman oh I know. Josh was fishing two of mine in Pophers. You guys find em fast damn it. Lol

[@bobbyburgess334]

You alright brother! This happens from time to time. You put the work in and these are the results. These little Green fish sometimes do not cooperate and we end up like this. You did your best brother. Thanks for the video!!

[@returnofsid]

Handled perfectly, by both of you!

[@zgambler1]

You did the right thing Brad I sure wish that happened out west I don't many a fight I have seen on the ramp great video

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

They call it Wild Wild West for a reason. I love coming out there and fishing with y’all. Hate that I’m missing the US Open this year. I’ll be back.

[@D0peSince85]

The reason I like these kinds of videos is because it's so realistic..I'm a regular average joe nonprofessional everyday fisherman, and I tend to beat myself up when I have really tough days..but guess what, that's fishing..and this may sound negative (definitely not my intention), but it's somewhat refreshing to actually SEE when pros have those kinds of days on the pond..I appreciate the transparency..go get em on the next one

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the feedback and support

[@jimcoyner8939]

Dude don't let it get to you u are to good of a fisherman stay positive you will be an elite again i believe in you go get em.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate your comments and support Jim. I believe I will get it done one way or another.

[@marklatham9910]

Bradley, Great content man! It’s refreshing to see the reality of the sport we all love! Spot on on your decision in the creek, it was handled like it should of been. Be Safe out there and Good Luck!!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Mark

[@jasonwilson6212]

You were totally professional at the beginning of the video. I enjoy all the content no matter. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate you watching and your feedback.

[@thebasswicker6294]

Love your channel brother!! Question for you I fish in a small club and a lot of the guys believe that fish bite every other day on a spot, just curious what your thoughts are on that and was this the case?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Allison Murphy Pope Could be very true. First if guys are fishing everyday they really see special things like this that most never get to experience. They don’t bite because they are not there. The reasons I don’t know to many options. Here are some. Sun, clouds, current, no current, wind direction you get my point. Could be the just circle ⭕️ and it’s a two day circle.

[@tonydanja4266]

I don't watch these videos to see KVD. I hope you keep on making great content. I love the group of guys you hang with, it seems down to earth and the real deal.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the comments and support Tony.

[@DubH46]

You both handled it right. The only thing I MAY have done differently would have maybe asked if he was going to the back or not, but you guys both did it right. And you ain't lying about confrontations in Oklahoma creeks. Lol I can feel the frustration coming through the video. You are a genuine dude, that's why I watch your channel brother.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate your support as always Warren.

[@scottclark1168]

I think the way you handled that situation was exactly how it needed to be,if I was him I would've started for the back as soon as i saw you roll up,great video and hatevitbdidnt go better for ya man,don't beat ya self up over it,on to the next one,good luck buddy

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate your support as always

This is how to be an adult in this situation. Both were very professional.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Agree

[@timburgeda3805]

I think what both of y'all did was 100% right. Give the 1st dude the option since he voiced his desire to work that creek. He was right in voicing his opinion and seeing how you reacted, which was perfect. Good video and a really great lesson on seasoned anglers not be assholes. Great job IMO

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate your comments and feedback Tim.

[@laddy7166]

Well done, sir. No harm , no foul for either one. Discussed and agreed upon who fishes where and move on to fishing.

[@garylukas3476]

Still going to watch and comment. I like real shit and that is reality in fishing tournaments. Thanks for sharing. Just keep grinding I know you will !!

Rise and Grind seems to be the only way in this game.

You handled that very well

[@RedXCross1]

Yes I agree, Rayburn USE to not be that way. Buuuut, I'll leave that alone. You handles it very well and the guy was a sport about it too, You told him the truth from the start, and all was well.

[@kennyhaworth9606]

Good video

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate everyone’s feedback here.

[@farnorthhobby6319]

You handeled it great. I live on the water on Rayburn and counted a few dozen boats fishing the cove i live on... my house is almost exactly between 2 creeks. I wondered how cordial anglers would be to each other with the crowding going on in tight spaces. Well done.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate your support and info! The creeks are always a tight place but I try to avoid them on Rayburn. Seems like your limited to the size of fish available in them there.

[@bmf88]

Very professional on both parties 👏 👍

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks

[@jerrellbrewer9077]

My friend have to say u handled it very well. Only thing I saw was you were warm “hot” when u came up to him an it’s funny after all these years of fishing we still get frustrated when we pull up to fish a spot an someone else is there too! Great on the water teaching!

[@solidrockoutdoors]

Great job handling the situation.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for your support as always SolidRock!

[@bigbass_professor8776]

I would have done the same thing this is what you dont see is anglers working a situation out on the water without all the drama, I'm a huge creek fisherman and most of the time when I encounter this it almost always is non confrontational, great example of sportsmanship! 👊 Go get next time Bradley!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Communication is key to avoid conflict no doubt.

[@MrDeputy83]

Handled well by both of you guys..,

[@OhKee12]

Good educational piece for the young bucks, not a big deal, just a casual conversation. Not as bad as being a OSU fan.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

All Facts!

[@johnschauder]

Like you said, I think both parties handled it well. It’s not an easy situation but when both parties communicate clearly and respectfully a fair conclusion can usually be reached.

[@brianallen8079]

Man y’all handled it right. Keep up the good work, wish ya could popped that 7lber on day 1

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

She was big and completely uninterested in my bait that’s for sure.

[@smokin_sam]

That was hands down, the best way to handle that. Competition is tough and emotions run high.

Ill give you and him a both thumbs up. If you both talk and he also said what i would have lets talk you both talked. .i fished the top150s and i remember a very good example of myself and 2 of the greatest spinnerbait fisherman Van Dam ,Ken Cook and myself all doing the same thing at logan Martin..never was cut off and we all talked . learned alot that day. Cook was my roommate and we all where throwng spinnerbaits and topwater.

[@docgillygun9531]

I'm not a tournament angler. But although Sam Rayburn is a big lake during the fall you can quickly eliminate a lot of water. So trying to stack 223 boats in the backs of creeks looking for fall feeding bass is likely to create a traffic jam that everybody is just going to have to be patient and fish through. If not, fire up the big motor, floor it and do circles around the creek so you burn it for everybody. That way everybody has to go find new water. That should go well.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

That’s an option. Not one for me but it’s an option. Thanks for the feedback DOC!

[@docgillygun9531]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing Perhaps not the most professional and career advancing tactic but for us spectators it would be great entertainment that the industry could gossip about for months.
