That poor lady...you took a break to blow up her toilet with sushi squirts lol

[@x5ilco]

why did i read this

[@MaddoxGinden]

Goofy ahh

[@sub2degamer]

bro took a dump'n'dash💀

[@benjaminhurmx]

You should have done a hundred year old fishing line too. That’s a true challenge. 😂

[@Visvangmeneer]

Fucking horsetailhair or sum shit😂😂

[@Don_cheedle]

1lb test 💀

[@chipseiler1766]

Fun times. Really felt Norm's pain on this one. Re-do this one with the old lures on new tackle, and the new lures on old tackle. Hmmmmm.

[@mobxcag]

So by the looks of it Norm has the patience of a 100 year old man 😂 Great video guys..

[@gary9943]

You put poor Norm at such a serious disadvantage. Oh well. 😂😂

[@Fletcher_The_Fisherman]

Who should I collab with next?!?

[@graysonramels5745]

Lojo

[@reeltimefishingwithdom1664]

Camera man’s vs the youtubers

[@artbarraza3168]

Ayo

[@Landonhick]

Fisheryn100%

[@hanneskoornhof6303]

Answer is always the same for me. Know you always do this, but the KTBTV x Fletcher videos hit the hardest.😌🙌🏻🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Ardeact]

There's something about not catching anything for hours and finally catching something. Fishing never gets old

[@AbbyNormill]

Norm definitely got the short end from the start. Fletcher had all the advantages in this one-sided 'challenge'.

[@CakeofWisdom]

Safe to say that the biggest problem was definitely that old reel.

[@kyliedahl3475]

Sea of Kendall gray will challenge you from KZbin that lives in Kentucky

[@kadenwillliams2836]

Whoever you collab with is going to be grateful. Cant wait till you get your Silver Creator Award. Keep setting those hooks bubba.

[@peachiegarrott3241]

Fletcher glad to see you win .nice to see Norm fishing with you. Norm had patience with the old reel&rod .

[@joshlivingston2828]

Looks like Norm had a real crappy day!

[@sidchronicle2365]

I gotta know what boats your using. I need one for some of my lakes

[@ElNinoDeLaFrontera]

I use a 50s rod and reel as my main freshwater setup. Using braided line goes a long way.

[@robstorer1078]

This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched and I can’t stop laughing. Only 14 minutes in and it’s gold already.

[@jerrytalley802]

Hey Fletch, what type of boats are ya’ll using, thanks, love your videos

[@adamking5]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@xshangheighx]

Nooooo way you just dropped a nuke in that poor ladies bathroom😂😂

[@tothetexaschiefalotrecords738]

Lmao 🤣 wtf for real dang

[@graysonramels5745]

Collab with Norm or Lojo, Love the vids keep it up

[@benwilkins7949]

Norm complained about the classic reel not having a line guide but that model reel should have one. He is missing a piece. That's why he is getting so many backlashes and the line seems to constantly build up on one end of the spool.

[@xshangheighx]

31:00 looks like the reel is designed to be reeled in while level. The sideways reeling and jigging could be causing the problems but maybe im wrong. But you can see the reel all up to one side.

[@mikewhitman745]

It's not a levelwind, you have to physically guide the line back in evenly as you reel in.

[@lukefarnham2119]

Damn those little boats are badass

[@jaszkowaenduroteam9013]

i really like this concept, but at least you should use new hooks on old baits, because looks like old hooks are rusty which could potentialy make fish sick and just make it suffer till painful death, but other than that i loved this video i wonder what this lady felt after your visit in her toilet after sushi 😂

[@sb7984]

I love using old wooden lures. There's a reason why the names are famous. Just a 1/2 hr ago, I was changing the hooks on a large creek chub. I hope to use it today. I caught fish on it yrs ago. I'll take a classic time tested design over, an overpriced endorsed flash in a pan plasic.

[@jaydee5156]

I used to want an vintage fishing tackle collection. I have it now. What I once bought new is now vintage. That real reminds me of my old Pflueger Summit.

[@Justin-ke6oq]

Love when Norm is on the channel… definitely need to set up more collaborations with him…

[@FantomBanana]

you should do a deep-sea fishing video.

[@kempaswe4022]

Got one of those old reels, going to test it next time when I go fishing

[@ITSYOZEAZZY]

Love the vids fletcher

[@raygissendanner1476]

That one was a hard one for sure fun to watch

[@Vincent-Kielcheski]

bros like "there's a 4 pounder right under me why isn't he biting" while he's screaming 🤣

[@hanburgundy4317]

Sound travels fast through the water, but sounds above water don't travel easily below.

[@NakeSnake_Fb_FPV]

This taught me to bring a roll of toilet paper next trip

[@Dark58611]

Bros got Arthur Morgan’s fishing pole

[@Lexiwaller]

dat frog thicc in the start

[@Noah-im2jd]

Let's try me fletcher. I love your fishing content man and your videos give me so much more tips and tricks to catch fish fletcher. Loved this one here bro. Keep up the goos work man. 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@Hezakiah4]

Really dig the vid, guys. I still use my gear from the 60s-80s, though folks have given me newer stuff, and I have some of my dad's gear 40s-60s. My spinners are Mitchell 300's, 308, 389 and my standard aka "baitcasters" are Penn, Pflueger, and Abu Garcia. Get into the lures I've picked up over the decades and have as old as 1890s up through the 70s. How about tossing a Midnight Lures#1 or a Paw Paw Watta Frog? Nineteen rods and 8 tackle boxes with a 6 drawer dresser of gear for all the extras. BTW, my 2 Harleys are a 57 Sportster ( first year of Ironhead) and a 91 Electra Glide Ultra Classic with a sidecar. Us old farts got all the cool stuff LOL

[@TheOklahomapanhandle]

Im 71 and I have a rod the my grandpa said belonged to his grandpa and so on. I took it in a shop and they say its at least 400 years old it might function but I have it locked on display bc I don’t want to harm it

[@ericevans4594]

LOVE YOUR CONTENTS FTF ❤❤

[@crutchemc2993]

No 100 yr line on that setup of Norm’s??? Haha

[@gslang3489]

Always bring tp with you fishing

[@krzysiek.w.]

Guys, I want to learn something. I'm from Poland and baitcasters are not popular here at all, so I have "normal" reels on all my rods. I'm right handed, and I have crank on the left side, as everyone else, so I can hold my rod with the right hand all the time. On the other side I see lots of videos from US, where people use bait casters and you cast with right hand and then switch to left hand. Why is that? That looks odd to me 😅 Moreover, I get the advantage of baitcasters when you use huge baits on the sea, or hunting for musky, but why to use it for bass / perch? Reel produces no resistance so you can cast 5g lures with no problem and there's no risk of backlash. Before shitstorm starts, I don't want to argue, I just want someone to explain :D

[@andrewvance4823]

I’m from the US and grew up just using a traditional open face reel however as I got better I drew to bait casters due to the feel I like how the reels feel and the rods i combo with the bait casters give me more control over my bait. I can cast further and can guide my aim better. Working the baits in the water with the small eyelets on the rod helps me to work the baits and get the movement I want. I hope this help I’m not the greatest at explaining

[@gregorymallory]

Feel sorry for Norm. Know he can catch fish but didnt stand a chance winning. Nice video though. Love the channel.

[@jakeyjakey4018]

dudes ready to take a dump in someones back yard😂🤦‍♀️

[@clks1165]

You guys should do a video with handmade lures

[@dangahodgie6697]

Do you blokes ever use split swivels or a wire trace? Makes changing lures quicker

[@rockyridgeoutdoors]

I just bought 5 of the old reels and made a video, learned a little from this.

[@OleSevers]

Man I have fished sooooo many rods and a lot of times the most expensive rods behave and produce identical results as the cheaper $50 wal mart combos.

[@iamdrock]

Subscribing because of the rat lure! Love using mine also i have the exact 100 year old rod and real combo! Mine just needs a bit of elbow greese to restore thats really awesome to see.

[@AquaBinz]

He didn’t save him he resurrected him💀

[@jt9437]

Picking 100 year old befor watching. They knew what they were doing back then 😂

[@Gammingar]

[@CharlesStevens-qy4bz]

Monster mike fishing 🎣

[@jeremyfrost1935]

[@johnjapuntich3306]

[@garrettboothe4053]

I have a kayak but I might sell it and get what you have cause those little things are sweet!!!!!!

[@Galatic_republic]

How do I cast that I have 2 but do t know how

[@coldstartguibone9864]

Are fish updated too?

[@keeganvanluven5978]

I'm part of the one sock club.......

[@nuduce123]

Norm should have had to use a 100 year old row boat as well.

[@paulschuchert5189]

Never go fishing hunting hiking without some TP

[@yasjasim2487]

Should’ve gave him a 100 test line 😂

[@tannerdodson7869]

What boats were y’all using?

[@baltazarsebastian6646]

What kind of kayaks are those?

[@PAPPADASH]

Where does one find 100 year old line?

[@r.i.p.vegas.480]

what's the green combo

[@ManCountry]

what i dont understand is why dont you just bite the line instead of using scissors ? unless your using braided line it saves time :) try it out

[@nightbeauty3034]

Where can I get one of those boats

[@EarlMcFord]

What kind of kayak is that or boat?

[@charlesbouchard8731]

what are these boats called??

[@bj_arn_e]

I have that same hundred year old reel but I have no idea how to cast it

[@Landon-ts4rk]

what kind of boat do these guys use?

[@stephanm.4715]

What are those boats called??

[@marcus-f3e]

what kind of boats are those?

[@daltonrul9692]

[@SouringTiger619]

[@unknown-tr3gk]

Dont wanna waste your time... first fish is caught at 8:00

[@michaelgoode7837]

What's the boat make and model

[@Jorion12345FTW]

What are those small boats?

[@ericrobinson9340]

That clanking sound on fletchers boat is so annoying. It sounds like cans clanking.

[@Patrick-me6pg]

Personally if you guys want to prove who's the best bass fisherman you guys need to switch gear homeboy that gots the old-time crap he gets the new stuff now and now the guy that has the good stuff now he gets the old crap and then you guys can see which one's the best fisherman because that would be fair

[@yollon2550]

Where is the advantage of a bait caster over a spinning reel? Ok they look cool but spinning reels reach further, have less backlash and you need to reel in less. Is it bait presentation or casting precision ?

[@Supreme444tx]

What boats are these

[@lildbo8273]

I can say I’ve had spots 2-3 groups would move in and out and you could actually make Friends cause you’d see them next year now I got all these code x nerds in my spots

[@waxknucklebearingjuice5592]

I'm betting it's a private lake , therefore , anyone in the lake is a guest of a neighbor. I'm guessing they'd prefer you use their bathrooms instead of shit on the manicured trails.

[@dracula2719]

that was kind lady

[@SantiagoAvalos-fw3kd]

You should have a collab with fishing with yak pack

[@lauriscimermanis9139]

why flecher has the best gear,in all videos that's not fair

[@lauriscimermanis9139]

just why that's not fair

[@DevinHerrington-my9he]

Bro what kind of boats r those I want one

[@ryanpina3563]

what’re those boats?

[@scottfreeman258]

You really weren’t comparing equipment, you were comparing how familiar each angler is with the equipment. Next time when someone has a rats nest stop fishing.

[@kevwilk4778]

What kind of challenge is this.the host goes all up to date and gives guest 100 year old tackle and a p.o.s.antique reel.this wasn't a challenge or a competition.this was a wasted day in norms short life.even kickin their bass host would have at least used the old reel.disappointed in u fletch.

[@kingty_gaming4128]

Where do you get those boats?

[@Grizz0212]

Ive learned to never go fishing with a baitcaster.

[@zachp2404]

What are those boats

[@TheToxicGunn3r]

Blowing up the nice ladies toilet is diabolical, but we all been there when its emergency poop time it is what it is

[@draconian6692]

Why i still use spinning rods

[@billymuellerTikTok]

We call those bird’s nests… not backlashes

[@mrbeest81]

Not trying to be that guy but fishing a long time ago probably was a lot less fish because places aren’t getting stocked and it would be hard to find a lake with natural fish in it

[@flavortown3781]

Yall bassfisherman and wilden yall tell people about your spots, i blind fold folks when i take them to my brookie creeks

[@Badatfifa]

Fun fact: In Scotland if someone asks to use the bathroom you CANNOT say no as it’s illegal

[@Alien_gaming321]

That’s actually insane imagine a 80 year old coming

[@alexcampbell126]

Alien_gaming321 sick🤣💀🫵🏾

[@hanburgundy4317]

​@@alexcampbell126 "Moove as-aye-d, laddy! I've got to duuuuke!"

[@timaa4246]

Same thing in American schools

[@riles13]

Look if you're on a walk Farish away from your house and you have to go... I'm either going in your front yard or in your bathroom. I respect the hospitality of that. Should it be illegal? No. But I like that as a cultural thing

[@Funting3417]

What boats are those

[@youreworthit]

Yo, thank you norm for mentioning the one sock club, now I have emergency toilet paper 😂
