Gambling with BIG Swimbaits to Save My Season!! (Bassmaster Open Lake of the Ozarks | Day 1)

[@zachpatch8450]

If you don't make the elite series this time, if its plausible, I sincerely hope you keep trying until you make it. You got the drive, the brains and the following to get bigger than kvd once you get up there. It's been a trip watching you take on this quest and living a dream that so many of us live vicariously through watching you. Id say don't give up, but I don't think you have the ability to quit.

[@andrewgonzalez6515]

Those first angles of you fishing are fire! Please have much much more of this type of videography

[@wayne12wdp65]

Can't wait for you at Logan Martin next season, If you're still in the opens. It's a fantastic lake but it's going to be crazy in May. I've lived on the lake my entire life and you are going to love it

[@MegaRascal420]

Rooting for ya Jellyknuckles , Don't shit the bed!

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

Ive been wondering something for a few years and what better place to ask a bunch of fisherman something. Do you guys put your trucks into 4wd before backing down the ramp. Seems like I'm the only one stopping to do so at my local ramps.

[@jaysfishtails9416]

I know a lot of people don’t but you are better off if you do because you never now if there is oil on the ramp or this or that so don’t let someone tell you any different

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

@@jaysfishtails9416 Right on thanks for the reply bud. I been dumping my boat a few days a week for the last 5 or 6 years and it's always so nerve racking. My car rolling backs one of my biggest fears.

[@michaelbateman2019]

I fish LoZ and I never put it in 4wd

[@fishinwithcoop941]

Smh I was sitting here pissed off it wouldn't play 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

[@DominicDoanFishing]

Nice job.

[@budrosrevenge7577]

Next time you come through Amarillo, please hit me up. I’d love to go fishing with you. If you’re interested, we can make plans when the time comes if that’s ok

[@christophershelton1735]

Are you a lefty fishing rh retrieve reels?

[@normsweeney3116]

Keep doin it to it MF'ER!!

[@steezy330]

Was that an energy drink at the 3 Minute mark?

[@williamprewett3777]

Why do u catch big fish in practice?. Then it seems to disappear during the derby.

[@nedyarb2000]

Why your poles bent?

[@WadeSpurgeon-t1r]

You should fish Lake Houston. It is by new Caney and it’s a good way to make some easy money because I can tell you most people that join the tournament are about as half as good as you.

[@jesseboyden3119]

MORE clips of his hand on the reel while he's retrieving the glide

[@danielmeganhauger2414]

Good evening MF'rs

[@jesseboyden3119]

My mans literally poured an energy drink down the fish throat. Lmao i REALLY wana know why

[@finsfeathersfuroutdoors2460]

When fish are bleeding because they get hooked in the throat or gills citric acid stops the bleeding. You can use mtn dew or citrus energy drinks or whatever as long as it's got citric acid ive saved quite a few with mtn dew

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

Pretty much saltwater here so forgive the ignorance but thought he was qualified with the win can anyone explain

[@nedyarb2000]

He’s in the 2024 classic. But needs two top tens to qualify for the elite series next year

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

​@@nedyarb2000thanks sir honestly pretty damn good for youtuber to join bassmaster and qualified for anything

You sleep in a "you can grab mine" onesie, gomer? ...or the one you bought for your lady (if there's even one dumb enough)?
