[@BourbonBBQ]

I didn't have a dad who would take me fishing... Your videos have taught me so much that I can now take my kids fishing and create great memories with them. Thank you for that

[@PPULARMNSTER]

Same

[@HeySkipper]

You are welcome! This was so touching!

[@BlackMamba-lt8oe]

there are no fish in india 😂😂😂😂, so much competition, whats the use if u fish with ur dad and catch no fish

[@AnielsGaming]

It’s amazing to see how much your channel grew. I remember subscribing and watching your videos when you had around 700 subscribers. Then you hit 1k, then 100k and soon to be 500k. Look at you now! You came a long way with your hard work and dedication. Thank you for posting great content for all the audience and all the viewers!

[@BC-oq7fi]

Erin, please include your presence in more videos. We enjoy you being part.

[@HeySkipper]

We try but it’s hard to film and be on video at the same time!

[@michaeleverton4882]

Read my separate comment! 🎣

[@billanderson2217]

10+/10, A+, you are on the track to success on KZbin, at Hey Skipper and most of all in life. Keep having a ball and flow with the momentum.

[@evancendrowski687]

Love your content! With me living on lake erie, I wasnt able to fish much the past couple months since everything was frozen over, and your videos helped me scratch that itch. And I'm learning in the process! I appreciate you!

[@texman1166]

Keep up the great fishing videos. It's almost like watching a movie. I like watching them because even though I can't get to the places where you're fishing (but I'm making plans), you make it feel like being actually there. It's almost just as fun. Thanks for doing what you're doing.

[@Do0msday]

I love the videos like this because it really showcases how much of a team effort this channel is. It isn't just a 1 man show. It's very family oriented and I love how you include others who are involved behind the scenes because without their help that means you'd have to pick up the slack and then you may have too much on your plate and the quality could suffer as a result. Luckily it's setup well and helps allow for the channel to continue to grow.

[@HeySkipper]

You are right about that. It is a big team effort! Thank you for understanding!

[@thedukeofagita3730]

Thanks for all you guys do. My salt water times are limited to about 10 days a year down the Jersey Shore. Watching your channel definitely helped me up my surf casting game over the past 4+ years. I’ve learned a ton from you and I’ve seen the results as I catch more fish every time we go back. I’m extremely grateful and if you guys make it to CO, I’d love to pay it forward by suggesting you check out The Dream Stream on the S. Platte River, the Hog Trough in Gunnison, Browns Canyon on the Arkansas river, and the Rio Grande in Creede. Tight lines.

[@45acp]

It's cool to see a KZbinr actually do a behind the scenes video. I like seeing how excited yall get when a fish is on. Also the videos where you cook fresh caught fish and share with everyone around. More people can and should learn from that. I like handing a rod to kids that don't have anything to fish with and seeing the excitement they have when they catch something. I've handed kids a light action rod with a sabiki rig many times and they have a blast just catching small fish. Looking forward to more videos.

[@WhereamIhandle]

You guys seem super wholesome, been digging all the content you guys put out, it is great. Congratulations on all your success as a family!!

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you!

[@TheFishingMommy]

I took a long time away from KZbin because life got in the way, but I’m on my way back now and you guys are the first channel I’m catching up on! Much love from NY & I’m so happy you’re settling in well in Jax!

[@TheCatowatkins]

Your videos make me want to go fishing!! and y’all are just nice to listen to also. Thanks for being awesome

[@MPGsavage]

You seem to be such a genuine dude. I've been fishing in every way all my life and at 35 I've learned a ton watching your videos. i appreciate it boss. are yall looking to do more boat fishing videos?

[@HeySkipper]

I appreciate that! We are just trying out more boating with a Carolina skiff that my friend is letting us borrow. Thanks for watching!

[@wickedpch]

Stay positive. I've only been following you guys recently. Have not gone out fishing for a long long time and just watching your channel makes me feel good. Happy New Year 2023. Greetings from Malaysia. 🐟

[@xlWillyWonkalx]

Since senko skipper here! Just stick it out like how you’re doing. Always haters no matter what you do you can’t please everyone. I know what it felt like which is why I stopped doing videos. Since I been fishing more now just making chest cam videos is so fun I want to start again. Love all the content you guys continue to post!

[@ralphaelhollins3521]

I Love you guys. I love your content, your persona, your guys are amazing human beings. I love all of your products you sell and I am a huge supporter. I hand tie rigs that you have taught and have caught big fish. I support you guys 100%. Keep up the good work.

You guys rock. I admire your enthusiasm. I just moves to the Tampa area from the desert southwest so I use your videos for tips about fishing and gear to learn more about fishing to ocean vs. the man made lakes I'm used to.

[@urbansteelfishing6905]

I've watched your channel for awhile now. I love it, love the education and knowledge of fishing you have for us all.

Hello Erin, Brandon. I love ur channel, watching you go fishing with your family brings back memories . BTW, that plant besides Brandon is beautiful. . Also , lucky you guys , you don't have to beg or come up with a valid reason to get a day off from work. GOD bless

[@jessewiggins8430]

Hey skipper, just wanted to say you guys rock!!! I love watching your channel. You two have great chemistry together ❤️. You also have your family involved, and family is great together. God bless and Don't ever let the haters get to you. Jealousy eats them alive. I can't imagine ever hating a great couple like yourselves. Keep up the good work. You inspire me and my wife to fish often. 🐟 ( P.S. I love that song, block party, that you had on one of your most recent vids, 👍 song. Peace out.

[@tiny3432]

All the way from Perth (Singaporean studying here so i fish both sides) and I literally learnt most of my basics from you. Went from catching blowfish (they're in plague numbers here) to my PB 75cm Queenfish! Love the content but love the community you have even more! Keep it up mate!

[@HeySkipper]

You rock! Thanks for the love!

[@momoniji6439]

I honestly started off with not liking the channel because of the difference in style (Knots, Technique, Gear Prefrence, Target Species) but it's not every day you see youtubers thinking about their fans this much. Taking time to answer questions and giving away a Stella and Phenix for 500k? Most youtubers would just upload a thanks video but all of this is what made me begin to like your videos.

[@johnc6228]

Thank You for all the hard work you do to make useful and fun videos and put out good products.

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you so much!

[@stevemorelli5265]

I found your channel while in Florida and trying to figure the fishing out. I do live in Maine and although fishing is different here, but I still enjoy watching you and your family’s fishing adventures

[@chassisom8943]

I searched for videos to learn some saltwater shore fishing techniques. You have a nice channel and I learned a lot. THank you

[@HeySkipper]

Happy to help!

I think your answer to the how much money you make was perfect. We don't need a cash amount, it's not our business, well job good done lol

[@michaelkolanda8712]

I love watching you guys every week even though I live in the middle of upstate NY with no saltwater within hours. Great channel!

[@HeySkipper]

Wow! Well when do you plan on going to try some salt water fishing? What is it about the show that you like so much?

[@michaelkolanda8712]

@@HeySkipper my family and I usually go on at least one vacation to a beach and saltwater every year for the past few years and it's just already figured that we're fishing at least part of the time. Plus your rigs can also be used in freshwater for catfish and such. Also I just enjoy watching you and your family going and catching fish and teaching others how to do it. Eventually I'll have better luck myself when I do get some saltwater fishing in knowing what you teach.

[@billanderson2217]

I love your catch, clean and cook episodes. They are so fun and always well done. Respectfully, I would like to ask if you could do an educational episode on that butane stove you cook on. Specifically what you do to maintain it in good working order, how you set it up and take it down safely. All of us are interested in sharing your appealing outdoor catch cookouts and really v have no idea hiw to do it safely and correctly. Your shared enlightenment on this would be welcomed by many loyal viewers. Thanks so much for all you do for all your viewers. You set a great example of how to be a good person and a better fisher-person. May peace be with as well as within you two and your families.

[@captaingeo9741]

Been watching you from the early days! My buddies and I love your channel and content. You guys are awesome!! Thank you!!

[@terryskinner8536]

Hey guys I'm in the uk and I've been watching your videos since the big c started. I love your family feel and passion for fishing. I am mad crazy fisherman and it's really interesting to see all the different techniques you use for different conditions/ locations. It's funny how different tactics can be just because you're in the states and I'm in uk. I learn alot and apply things that most people dont and it's done me really well. One thing seems so simple but no and I mean literally no one hooks shrimps through the head end in uk, you did it and I was like hang on they will swim way more naturally that way. Anyway I know I'm rambling but thank you is what I'm really trying to say. All the best from Curtis Brighton UK

[@1stsumo]

Hey You Two, It's cool you both are best friends and work together. Not everybody can make that work. Erin looked darling with her hair made up like that. Here I'm about as far away from a coast as you can get and I'm watching your channel more than my regular channels. I've been watching your past videos in no special order and they are all great. I watched your proposal, that was cool. Erin is so cute when you surprise her like there is a hint of bashfulness (not just the proposal). I watched Brendon take his mom out on the little boat trolling for fish. Mom is awesome. That was a great video. You might want to do that again sometime. Of course Dad is always great. I know Erin has stated that she would like to see more girls fishing. I wonder if you had a contest for girls only with prizes or maybe with your next give away where girls had to send in videos of them fishing and you pick the winners (or some contest)(that would prove they really fish) We all know when girls do something, boys will follow if they aren't already. That's Nature. Take care... Waiting for your next video... Jerry

I love how you fish with the family too. I will soon be purchasing some of your salty bits. It's just a no brainer. Oh yeah, don't waste too much time on the haters either. They will continue to hate. Keep up the good work!

Man you ain’t never lie about the freedom aspect of self employment. The year before I got out of the military I said never again, never again would I ever be in a position as an adult to have to ask another adult for permission to do anything.
