[@randellmoore224]

Kyle is my dude!! I hope he keeps getting bigger & better!! The “small lil local lake” champ!😂😂

Great video. I’ve been a fan of Team Welcher from the beginning. Kyle is such a humble, cool dude. He has a great attitude and a bright future ahead of him. We’ll be watching.

Couldn't agree more!

Terrific video with insight into the mind of one of the sport’s best anglers.

🔥🔥👊

[@ChuckPippinBassFishing]

A true competitor! Glad to have him on the team 🔥

[@darrylcoats1676]

The mindset Welcher carries in everything He does seperates him from the pack. He only competes against himself. That is the edge He holds. I think that allows him to be more consistent. Now He is in the best boat on the market and uses some of the best eqpt in fishing. He is just getting started.

Well said and couldn't agree more.

I was watching live when he caught that 10 at St. John’s instantly I was a fan,very likable guy he probably would have won st Lawrence River the year he won aoy on the elites if he was in a ikon boat,if I remember right he had boat issues last day,ikon boats you got a winner!

[@ikonboats]

That was a special day. Catching a beast like that and during a tournament. Simply amazing.
