I take Brent Ehler for his first jet boat experience. Best day of river fishing in a long time!

Brent Ehler and I hit a river while in TX for a Major League Fishing cup event. It was one of the best days of river fishing I’ve ever had in my Tracker jet boat! We had a ball, shared a bunch of laughs, and some great times. This river is also where Edwin and I filmed our challenge. Be sure to catch it on my channel, too!

[@seydoggy.fishing]

Listening to you two laugh and geek out like a couple of weekend anglers, like this isn't your day job, is just priceless.

[@markhendrickson2184]

Awesome video!! So great to see you guys compete against each other one day, and fish together the next. That's what it's all about.

[@24bhyn]

Great to see 2 hard core competitors be good friends off tour. Enjoy following both of you

[@kenhorton8894]

I had as much fun watching this video as I have had in a long time. Thanks Ott and Brent.

[@tdoc6635]

I love watching your videos ott this one took me back to a time when my fishing buddy of 50 years was still alive we had many great trips all over the western U.S. I hope to fish with him again some day thank you.

[@kennethlangford5797]

Mr Ott Defoe. I have to say you got the best fishing show on TV with monster Bass and the best fishing channel on KZbin that's pretty darn good keep up the good work God bless

[@michaelsullivan3738]

Love fishing the rivers in Missouri, I'm on my 3rd jet, first one was bought in 1991 16/48 with a 40hp. Now I run a 19/60 with a 250 Pro XS. Keep up the good work Ott, the videos are killer. The best part of a jet is taking someone that has never been in one.

[@mikest4786]

Two of my favorite fishermen together. I bet that was an awesome day and I hope you do it again before too long.

[@bullfrogoutdoors2666]

Your boat is too sharp, love that thing, just got my first jet boat great video👍

[@enddockboyoutdoors748]

Best part about this video is it shows deep down you guys are just two joes who like to fish just like the rest of us. Very cool.

[@basscatlildave]

Great video. I too love those small out of the way waters. Brent may be exploring some of those places in California.

[@stevenodaniel6038]

Thanks for the hard work brother! Love the river videos!💪

Ott have always been a fan good to see when you go back to your roots like watching all your videos enjoyed monster bass as well and it was good to see you and Brent laughing and having fun I have a high pressure job as yall do so when its time to have fun its rare Thanks yall it looked awesome keep them coming Ott

[@donaldgarrettson3627]

Just plum AWESOME fishing vid. Ott your channel is the bomb!!!!

Thanks Ott so cool to see pros in a lax fishing and having fun.....

[@stevenbrown7560]

Another great one. I've been living close to the Holston up here in NE TN for a few years and rarely fished it. These videos have got me fishing the river more than the lakes the past month.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Glad you like it! Rivers are the best.

[@WildBillHabiki]

Brent is a favorite. I was so glad he won the 2022 Challenge Cup.

[@scottdewitt9304]

Ott. I’d love to see you and DC doing a trip like this. Both your enthusiasm would be a joy to watch.

[@martymartin7637]

awesome video its great to see competitors who tournament fish just get together and just fish as friends, thanks for the video awesome watch.

[@Harleywindtherapy]

Awesome to see you guys laugh so much and share fish and even video time. Sorta like Jimmy and Roland in the boat together...a ton of laughs and fish and a lot of knowledge to pick up if you watch closely - thank you! I grew up fishing creeks and rivers...floating in a canoe before fishing kayaks were thought of. Brett's right...its why I took to trout fishing so easily; reading the water, understanding current, eddies, and structure for bream, creek bass, and smallmouth made it easy to fly fish well. I moved to lakes and a bass boat years ago, but I still love a good float on skinny water in my canoe...and I loved when got out, Ott...pulling over a shoal makes me smile...I know there's a hole coming up a ton of people don't see because they wouldn't make the effort. Man, I think its creek time soon for me!

[@hltsolo]

looks like fun all day can't beat the river fishing

[@shawn_r_schultzfishing4883]

That's was awesome! River fishing is like a total body workout 🤣 When you need to stop in a hurry sometimes there's a rock 😮 There were some BIG ol bass in skinny water, you boys looked like you were having a blast!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

So much fun

[@codymeltonfishing6387]

Awesome river video. 😎 I think I need a jet boat now. Lol

[@danbarrell6802]

Awesome fishing trip. Good to see you too team up. My kind of fishing going down the river I use a canoe I can't believe how shallow you go in that boat

[@TurdFerguson1000]

Wish I could “like” this one twice...

[@jimmyjones6101]

I love river fishing here in East TN. I can't take my Bass Tracker 190tx but hopefully I will get a small jet boat in the future. Tight lines my brother.

[@bassin_with_keith]

That river was LOADED! Great video!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yes it was

[@Arientis]

Man if you’re ever in Central GA it would be awesome to see a Shoal bass video on the Flint or Ocmulgee River!

[@jarrett7977]

[@markmoretzfishing]

Ott seeing you two in the boat together is scary 😂bass and other anglers don’t have a chance!!!!

[@michaelhowell2609]

I like how out of all the bait options the California guy settles on the swim bait. Fish your strengths and what your comfortable with.

[@clayparrish6693]

My favorite kind of bassin! Catching bass out of the small rivers an creeks in S Georgia is so fun. They're so aggressive an fight hard

[@Kruppa24]

Them river bass are so aggressive! Awesome

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

You know I set here and watched almost the whole video wondering where in east Tennessee held that many largemouth in a river LOL!! Awesome video!

[@4xfish]

Great day on the river. The only thing that could have possibly made this video better would be to see you "launch" Brent like you did Edwin! LOL :0) Love your videos.

[@dsquaredbassind2570]

Very awesome.

[@aaronsalas6776]

14:45 cool to see that fish in moving bottom right screen

[@rjm830]

What a dope ass video. I still can’t believe how big the fish that are residing in those inches of water. I wish the bite was like this when you took Evers that one day.

Killer video! Wish you had a cameraman along to see those fish blowing y’all up. Underwater footage would be unbelievable too!

[@hotroddr32]

I see a lot of "Fish release violations" in this video Ott! LOL! You could make really good money taking people out on the rivers.

[@mikewilliams7728]

Need to take them up the Holston and do that!!

[@mikebailey2119]

Ott, I can't believe this is the same river you fished with Edwin. Another great video on the river. I grew up in Colorado trout fishing before I discovered what a bass felt like to catch. I have a lot of rivers here in Arkansas I would like to try after seeing your river trips. Would you show the frogs you are using sometime and how you rig them? If you already did in another video which one was it? 🎣🐟🙏

[@timnewby115]

I see a jet boat in Brent's future

[@BASSnBEER]

Would love to tag along with you one day on the Holston and film an awesome trip!!!

[@wallacebell4311]

I second that motion! I have fished the Holston River from the Asheville Hwy bridge up to McBee’s river crossing in my Predator MX kayak. A jet boat would be wonderful to help in fishing the whole river system.

Ott what some folks don't get catching a 5lb on a river or big creek is huge that fish is 3 times as older than lakes. Simple they use so much energy in rives they are smaller but longer.. anyway great video one of my top 5 this year

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Yep! They have to eat so much more than lake fish too.
