[@baitnbullets]

Thanks Greg! It was the biggest bobber I have ever seen, used for fishing. Happy new year!

[@randyholsten5971]

You are a true sportsman to save that fish ... Thank You Sir!

[@baitnbullets]

Thanks Randy! I am sure he would have died when the ice formed. I am glad I found him!

Good times on Strawberry once again Kevin!

[@baitnbullets]

Good to hear from you Andrew! Thanks buddy!

[@canyonrunner]

Your last couple of videos makes me regret hanging my kayak up in the garage rafters for the winter. Who knew??? FISH ON!

[@baitnbullets]

I was so close to putting my kayak away. I am glad I didn't. I might even try to go again! haha Happy New Years Canyon runner.

[@GillsNReelsFishing]

That bobber fish was crazy. Haha. You put in the work to save him. Man I need to get out to Strawberry. Great trip Kevin.

[@baitnbullets]

Be carful when you go out Cody! I heard 3 more people fell through the ice today. Scary! I hope it will be ready and frozen in 2 weeks. I have the Frozen Frenzy this weekend and might try strawberry the fallowing weekend.

[@bridgerbowman489]

In a world of negativity, you are a breath of fresh air! I love your positivity. Keep it up man

[@baitnbullets]

Man Bridger, thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it! I agree this world can be super negative. Happy New Year, buddy!

[@levihermanfishing]

Wow man that looks like a lot of fun on the kayak! Nice fish save! 😂 That’s freaking cool. 👏

[@baitnbullets]

Thanks for watching! I had a great time out there. hope all is well! Happy New Years Levi!

[@gladegoodrich2297]

You must be part polar bear. Way too cold for this old man😊

[@baitnbullets]

It was cold, but it was worth it! I had so much fun I might want to try it again! Did you put in for any turkey hunt this next year?

[@FishfearmeStudios]

Nice rescue. I’ve never seen a bobber that size before. I wonder if strawberry is ever going to freeze this year

[@baitnbullets]

Haha yeah that bobber is a big boy for sure! The more I think about it the more it could have been a set line by someone. maybe someone dropped it off and would come back to see it there was a fish on it. but this time they couldn't find it. it had at least a 10 foot leader. I don't think anyone is going to cast a line like that from shore. I don't know just a thought.

[@mitchell97]

@@baitnbullets We fish like this from a boat. We suspend the white tube jig 6-8 feet attach a swivel one of your poles and then let it float away from the boat 20-30 feet. Each person has a drifting rod and a casting rod.

[@scootertrash1953]

jaws takin down the barrels

[@baitnbullets]

I thought the same thing! haha. I tried to find some copyright jaws music for that part of the video, but couldn't find any. Thanks for the comment!

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

That was cool rescuing that fish

[@baitnbullets]

It was fun playing tag with a fish! haha. I am glad I was able to catch and help him! Happy New Year!

[@halfdoneoutdoors3467]

Looks like a good time I would do something stupid and end up in the water

[@baitnbullets]

I think you would do better than you think. but that would be a cold swims for sure. brrr..

[@adventureswithcookieandcowboy]

Will it ever ice...I say everytime I drive past Rockport and Echo

[@baitnbullets]

I love ice fishing Rockport! I hope it freezes this year.

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Great video, man. Catching fish and rescuing fish.

[@baitnbullets]

Thanks Brother! hope you had a great New Years!

[@OutdoorswithKev]

Great video! Praying for some colder weather here!

[@baitnbullets]

Thanks Kevin! I agree we need an artic blast come through. To many people falling through the ice. I know you love that Pineview crappie fishing!

[@fasteddie8225]

Nice job man!! You need to hit deer creek the bite has been good over on the rocks by the dam!!

[@baitnbullets]

Dude thanks for the tip, Fast Eddie!! I was just thinking about deer creek. I just might go tomorrow! Happy New Year Buddy!!

[@fasteddie8225]

@ dude no problem, man thank you. Happy New Year’s to you as well!!

[@BigAlFishingAddiction]

Awesome video is always Kevin my wife bought me a internal battery for my Gopro for Christmas. But it says it does not have enough power, what kind do you use or recommend? Thanks

[@baitnbullets]

I just looked at it for ya! The make is Belkin I bought it from Walgreen of all places. haha it was on clearance for cheep. You can kind of see in this video how it is mounted or duct taped to the mount and its plugged directly into the media mod. I usually can run that gopro non stop for hours with no problem! a.co/d/9q1F0a5 I found a link on amazon this is what I have.

[@BigAlFishingAddiction]

@baitnbullets Thank you bud I appreciate it

[@BigAlFishingAddiction]
