Fishing a Tournament in Extreme Winds-Eastman Lake

[@yellowdogadventures]

4:30 Total team effort! Way to help out a fellow fisherman, much respect

[@dustyblackey5741]

As someone whose kayak is at the bottom of a lake currently.. the first 5 minutes of this video make me sick to my stomach with anxiety. Glad your safe. And glad your knowledgeable enough to know when its not safe!

[@StevenGrissom-j5o]

Great job

[@granvillej3316]

Wow great victory despite the extreme conditions which could have been dangerous for even the most experienced angler. No one should ever lose their life fishing it should be enjoyable for all life time. Safety first should always be practiced at all levels. I follow your channel cause you have amazing fishing skills and no how to get the victory thanks for sharing take care and God bless!

[@dthao92]

Thanks! Most definitely, safety first, we can always fish another day

[@youremomsvilleplayzmc9528]

Well done Damian! Way to be a wingman helping a fellow angler out! Best of luck throughout the year.

[@dthao92]

That’s the one thing I like about the Kayak community, everyone comes together to help each other

[@Longboard-Dude]

Mr. Damian . . . Another well deserved CONGRATs 👍! Glad to see your Buddy, Mr. John, place 3rd as well. Refreshing to see anglers (boaters / kayakers) helping out other anglers (boaters / kayakers) . . . goes to show the comraderie amongst anglers even though everyone is competition. Another enjoyed video and as always, really appreciative of showing us your set-up and techniques. Looking forward to your next vid 🤙.

This was a fun experience. Thanks for posting, and sharing Damian. That weather got angry fast. However you did fish hard all the way till the end. Keep it up man.

[@brian9054]

Super sketchy conditions, you still did really good as usual, congrats on the win. See that bass come up to nip at your lure at 14:33?

congrats bbro!

[@SimplyFishing]

Good job.

[@maxwilliams4015]

Nice job man

[@jackchoate5466]

Oh my gosh I couldn’t with that wind

[@TWC6724]

That’s some absolute crazy wind! The guy that capsized had a native slayer max. That’s what I have and I’m trying to sell it. It doesn’t feel very stable to me.

[@FishJunkie]

Yeah been fishing that lake my whole life hadnt seen them put a line of buoys there before

[@dthao92]

Same, that’s a first for me. Have never seen that line before.

[@jimsegger9116]

Hell of a day I would take that limit in any tournament

[@lalomendez925]

🔥🔥🔥

[@bbowen4629]

Wow you crushed them. Were you following the contour lines and what were you throwing. Thanks for the video.

[@dthao92]

Just fishing a point, and i was throwing a dropshot

[@db9818]

Sometimes it’s nice to have a low center of gravity 😂

[@ds-zd9qz]

damnn thats some sketchy weather bro

[@friendlyfishingguy9556]

Got the W

[@llllll-ux2lz]

FYI either go with the waves or head first into the waves never let the waves hit you starboard or port side. It will take on water.

[@dthao92]

Yes sir, thats how i got back, it didnt look too bad at first then i had to zigzag back in. Had to ride against it then ride it in.

[@dinks5592]

Bro I almost flip still remember how scary was that day lol😢😅

[@madam497]

Just be ready for it. I flipped over in a creek in a deep pool. Wasn't fun. It was in the fall and water was cold.

[@FishJunkie]

Any idea why they put those orange buoys next to the ramp? Is that off limits or something now?

[@dinks5592]

@@FishJunkie good question I was there last Saturday still there I think is to mark the edge of the boat ramp not sure 🤔🤔

[@dthao92]

Might be to block all the drift wood from getting on the ramp

[@friendlyfishingguy9556]

Shaluss 😅

[@charlesdip7047]

drop shot damian?

[@dthao92]

Yes sir

[@hughjaynus4374]

[@donvaj5708]

It’s not funny when ship hits the fan

[@surgprep1]

If you capsize how do your graphs handle getting submerged?

[@dthao92]

Honestly i dont know. Wouldnt want to find out. But ive heard from people that after being submerged, the graphs wont power on anymore.
