How I Learned to Bass Fish

LOVE YOUR CHAN BUT bro the hair sticking out of the back of ur hat 😂😂😂😂

[@williamwoolf.8660]

My dad started dropping me there at 13 also, had a 16ft Aggressor Bass Champ. That was in the mid-late 90’s. It was such a fun lake to fish. I caught many large mouth over 5 and a few 7-8pounds. I don’t fish it as much now but it seems not as good now. We camped a many nights on 2 tree island. It still holds a special place in my heart. Some of my best fishing memories are there. I remember when there was so many run down fishing shacks, now they are torn down and mansions take their place. I pocketed a good bit of cash there on a Tuesday night. I’d love to put up 500$ or whatever you want and make a interesting day out of it.

I just want you to know that you will WIN TBC. You are one of if not the best bass fisherman on the planet and I'm not trying to blow you up but just take a look in the mirror and look what you've accomplished in 3 years ..I mean really I've watched you long before you were on your and that wasn't that long ago. So kudos to you and Hunter on your journey to the top because I'm telling you it's happening soon very soon and when you do I want a fishing trip here in ga on Lanier with you all expenses paid in full by me. Deal?just remember BigCheez one of your biggest fans and im 51. Good luck as I know this will happen

[@MoneyBass]

Nice video Kyle. These are the type of videos of yours I use to watch all the time before you took it to the next level. Congrats! Shout out to Hunter also. Let me know when you are heading to MY big local lake. The ditch bite is on right now. 😎

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

Just fished a tournament on Lanier. Really wanna fish with someone on Carter’s lake let me know if you are ever down for it Money Bass

[@MoneyBass]

@@PHATBASSASSASSIN Search MoneyBass Carters lake on KZbin. I have a few videos on it. Similar to Lanier but fish are generally deeper, dropshot and spybait got bites. Try a jerkbait too. How did you do on Lanier? I'm finding schools hugging the bottom in 30 to 40ft.

[@garymantil3727]

Awesome !! Keep banging them out every week Hunter/Kyle!! Love U very much

[@jasonnester9514]

I never could get excited for bass I have tried many times but they don’t have much fight to em Glad and happy u found passion with bass and now a pro with it I think that’s fantastic keep tight lines bro

[@TRICOTSTRICOTS]

Keep getting after em !!! Hard work pays off... Best Wishes to TEAM WELCHER 2023 !!!

[@lannyseals2084]

Congratulations on the rapala deal!! You are a great angler and deserve everything you get buddy!! Good luck on '23 season!

[@jeremygilreath224]

I've fished smith lake since I was a teenager and after I got married 18 yr ago I moved exactly 1 mile from the dam lol that pretty cool to me

[@BC_Fishing]

Still remember watching you fish on KZbin before the elites Kyle. It’s amazing seeing that growth and transition you’ve had over the years. Truly inspiring for all anglers that have a similar if not the same goal. Wish you all the best for the 23’ season.

[@mikegardiner3934]

Terrific vid, Kyle. I gotta say having that big red “G” in the background in first 3 min, made it even better. LOL

[@MrTide62]

Awesome video brother!

[@jeremypope9929]

My first big bass came on a live brim at 10. 2nd big bass came on a devil horse bank pond fishing on a lay down right at dark. Remember both just like it was yesterday

[@marshallellisfarm_8802]

Just finished watching you get the dub fishing with Wheeler and Hunter. Like you, I feel like my confidence baits have evolved over the years. Enjoy your videos bud. #TeamWelcher

[@taylorduncan5764]

Theirs some real big spots in that small little local lake like that 4.76 in the lazy man the other week

[@richardblake4777]

Loved every minute of it, thanks Kyle and Ms Hunter.

[@Glock-1]

I love a jig, it seems to get bit when nothing will and a swim jig is great also so between those two and a frog the 3 are my confidence baits, and I just ordered 4 or 5 of your Ace jigs to try because I have been fishing a very similar head design jig that a guy pours for me so can’t wait to try them

[@macking4942]

just watched you beat hunter and wheeler. Awesome dude!!!

[@academicmailbox7798]

Kyle, might be a good one on lines and line type origins. In the sport of fishing.

[@academicmailbox7798]

The guys in Phoenix at the tackle store there, always do excellent iCast event episodes and coverage. I noticed they had a long form piece about the 'fishing line' in gear tackle angling. Looking at just what happened over around twenty or thirty years gone by. Some interesting viewpoints in it (and they are also western water anglers, where they are used to doing things slightly different as well). They learned certain techniques and methods of fishing earlier than other parts of the country. And invented a few new techniques along the way.

[@rodcashman4793]

Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck on Lake 0.

[@terryorr3771]

Great video brother! And I agree - that is a special lake. Glad you moved close by!

[@dallasmitchell6438]

Great videos love every second keepem coming

[@timdavis3532]

I appreciate your videos. I learned a lot. Good luck

[@scottclark1168]

Definitely a bent hook...lmao,love it,great video and good luck this year buddy

[@k4x4map46]

nice !!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

You must be doing something right getting sponsored by Rapala 👍 I get stubborn a lot hoping the fish will bite the way I like to fish, like you said got make some adjustments, I'm glad your getting to live out your dream as a professional fisherman, hope you have a great year!🎣

[@jeremygilreath224]

Hunter the wife and I went to guntersville for our honeymoon don't feel to bad lol I didn't take a boat but that's where we went

[@scotthousewright4234]

Nice to see you doing good with fishing. started following you when I started trying to bass fish you lived on chick .

[@timmcc1044]

Nice session. Are you considering fishing any of the opens this season? Seems like a couple line up well for the elite series timing and are in your wheelhouse - like Eufaula. Best of luck to you this year. I know if you can really apply your skill set out there and a few variables go your way, you'll come out on top.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Thinking about the thing of treble hooks, and treble hook replacement.

[@academicmailbox7798]

For an angler such as Kyle Welcher in particular. Something I don't know if you've ever tried.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Bob Blankemeier a saltwater angler shows a macro lens shot of the Kastmaster half ounce silver spoon, with bucktail on the treble. And you can see in the slow motion how that works (where instead of the bucktail being dressed on the treble hook itself, instead it's on a separate attachment that goes into the split ring). Something like a Blane Chocklett articulated spine or similiar device is used to hold the bucktail on. It means for the bass anglers who likes to replace treble hooks. They can have the bucktail or other material separated from the actual hooks.

[@zackeletonfh8940]

Awesome video..are you no longer sponsored by spro? Looks like you rocking Rapala these days lol

[@JS-oy6nn]

You’re passion for fishing is really contagious. You are always putting out videos always positive incredible work ethic just stating the facts as you know them. Really impressive and you are my top person and channel to watch. Hunter, you need to get you’re man a haircut, looking a little shaggy. 😂

[@Mjones8383]

I remember West Point in the 90s and 25 to 30 lb bags were not uncommon. Back then it had a 16 in min and the largemouth were like Eufaula in the 70s and 80s big. I feel when they dropped the min to 12 and after Bassmaster fished it the lake went downhill fast. Not sure if west point is the lake you're on but it looks like it.

[@codycampbellfishing2007]

Its 11 months later but Im near certain its Harding so the lake below it, but the fall of West Point is tragic to me

[@TheBamadude]

Hey KW, first of the video...which rod were you using & what size? Need one to flip an ace jig & yes you are responsible for me fishing them. You really can teach an old dog new tricks.

Ok that is an Alpha male that fishes the whole time He is at his future wifes birthday party. Only a stone cold Alpha male could pull that off. Props to Hunter for standing by her man. We all know how lucky Kyle is. Never stop pushing him to new heights and when he needs it dont be afraid to put a boot in his rear. Yall got this. #justdontsuck #teamwelcher

[@luke_fishing4039]

Wait a minute don't tell me you went and got yourself a Rapala sponsorship! You know those baits aren't any good lol can't beat the DT line up
