In the Boat for a victory on Lake Athens - Amazing Day!

In the boat and behind the scenes for the final rounds of the Bass Pro Tour on Lake Fork and Lake Athens with Ott DeFoe.

[@jacksonepperson741]

The most humble pro bass fisherman right there 👆

[@derrickwestfall2002]

Edwin’s performance at Redcrest was impressive but what you did in this tournament tops it in my opinion. Just another reason why you never give up. Congratulations Ott, you absolutely deserve it.

[@brucehoffman7063]

What a day! Now you call that catching them! Good job. I proud of you for giving it all to God! It was your time. Not to many professionals do that. Keep the faith brother. Great video. 🥸👍💥

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

It was a day!

[@robertduncan1241]

Amazing to watch!!! What I liked better then seeing you catch the fish is that you were putting the Lord front and center of your actions. Way to stand tall in your faith!!!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Thank you!!!

[@4xfish]

@@OttDeFoeFishing I've found that hearing about miracles is one thing.. witnessing a miracle becomes much more compelling.. but when you are part of that miracle things get real in a hurry! Congratulations neighbor. :0)

[@rodneymartin9029]

Ott that was probably one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. That was a great call to go through the school like that and get them fired up. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that. God was truly with you and he made it happen. The glory goes to him. Always cheering for my native Knoxville Tennessean.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

It sure was fun and thankful God gave me knowledge to stop there!

[@stevenodaniel1916]

The best to ever do it sir!!! Thank you for this great video!!👑🙏

[@curtrohrbach2357]

Absolutely outstanding Ott!! That DT did some work congratulations and god bless!

[@g.spencerhill5717]

Watching you slay them a second time was almost as fun as watching it live!! Edwin at RedCrest was catching 1-2 lber's, you were catching 3.5 to 9.6 hammers!! Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! Great job Otter!!!!!

[@randysiler7458]

I also watched it live. Watching it a second time was as good if not better than the first. Thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@jayweathers9295]

Don’t think I’ve ever wanted to watch an hour KZbin video...until now. You killed em Mr. Defoe good job!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@martymartin7637]

[@darkreelaction]

Way to go bro!!! Love watching you fish!!!

[@ABTRANSPORT1987]

Man what an awesome day you can’t get any better than this for sure congrats on your win Ott well deserved. 👊🏻👍🏻

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Thanks!

[@sonnygreen9698]

Making a plan and sticking to it doesn’t always work, faith, perseverance, determination and a lot of hard work went into that moment, I enjoyed this video immensely, I wish you the best the rest of this season, god bless, good luck and be safe !!!

[@lmb4272]

God's timing is always perfect! Watched this live and had to watch it again! Congrats and God bless!

[@wyattlandon]

I was nervous the whole time and I knew you won!!!

[@lancetownsend5073]

Ott your a awesome angler but a better Christian. Thanks for your faithfulness to our savior Jesus Christ. I'm from Tennessee and watched your fishing tournament with Edwin which was awesome. I heard you mention the French broad river and me and a buddy fish there all the time. I caught a few good small mouths there in January. Just think your a good person. God bless you and your family.

[@clifffrazier4696]

Great day on the water!!!!

[@mikefurness1598]

All I can say is that was cool!

[@rickwalt8767]

Congrats on the win Ott. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Great video.

[@yannlagunaguidedepeche6556]

so nice to watch

[@jerimydeloach1556]

I enjoy your videos with the boys, my stepson and nephew have their first tournament of the new season next weekend at lake Jordan in wetumpka Alabama I'm ready for them to fish an already to laugh at them with all they'll get into while I sit and watch!

[@CasualBassGuy]

This performance literally made me wanna buy the exact set up hahahahaha

[@burny1969]

Wow! I've never seen anyone tear 'em up on Athens the way you did and I've fished that lake all my life. Next time you're down this way come about 25 miles to the east of Athens and fish Lake Palestine. It's another East Texas treasure. Be careful though, it has lots of timber. Give me a shout if you do . . . I'd be honored to fish with ya'. God Bless You and Yours!

[@kurtpotter6994]

Don't tell everybody! They'll be packed tight in there

[@joshwatson1703]

It was pretty cool watching u catch all those fish from the marina, glad you enjoyed my home lake sir, God bless and keep you and your family safe sir.

[@greghiday]

What a day!!! Great video.

[@stevenodaniel6038]

Thank you for the hard work brother💪

[@SeriousAnglerBassFishing]

absolutely unreal dude, congrats

[@OhKee12]

Great video and great finish! Keep up the good work 👍💪🎣

[@mystoryhisglory9438]

I live on lake cherokee and unfortunately there is very poor management for bass here. The pressure on this lake is insane. Thanks for the videos

[@chadpyrtle8487]

Great job Bud. Ott your a class act my man. Congrats

[@justinsimpson7305]

awesome brother ! Super happy for you and your family!

[@lilymelton217]

Fishing same bait at the heavy hitters as you where in this tournament 2 years ago and you win both tournaments as the best of the best should Ott

[@T_J_Fishin]

Awesome job never gave up and it paid off !!

[@gwt272]

When u reweighed that fish 3 times and that 3rd time it was scoreable that was the lord

[@davidhodges1483]

Great performance!!! Thank you for representing our state with such a professional manner and more importantly Godly manner. Good luck Ott and may God continue to bless you.

[@kodymackie6808]

Congrats Ott, but man you make met nervous being barefoot around all those trebles and hooks!😬

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Lol it’s all good

[@treylowder1193]

that was honestly biblical

[@ditchfishing9148]

The best

[@codegaming_yt7704]

Nice boat

[@felipell]

Awesome video man!! Congrats on your big win!! You're on fire this last couple of years!!

[@Jay_Wood]

That official is stickler. Jeeze.

[@ditchfishing9148]

[@passionateoutdoors7217]

Hands down been really enjoying the videos Ott, learning a lot! I’ve also started a channel and videoing my own days on the water, I noticed n one of the videos how u set up ur go pro on ur dash, can u go over how u have ur dash go pro set up?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Sure will

[@Ronie792]

Those white bass are giants

[@brianguest561]

God's Will Trumps Free Will everytime

[@razorbackuphere]

I sunk that brush in front of the bridge.

[@chrisvandermeulen2936]

Hi Ott, What reel were you using at the end with the crankin’ stick?

[@ohiobassmaster.]

Johnny Morris platinum reel

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yep

[@louieadams8483]

Anybody know if the scales are ready??

[@ecoliesrein790]

Sierously ott, how did you miss that. It's only a probably a pounder but come on. That was a bass exactly where you said they where. Hahahahah, omg your the best still tho.

[@lumpkinangler3613]

I have like 4 of the 7ft carbon lights mediums what is the best thing to use for those?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

You could crank and jerk bait with it. Also bladed jig would work. Even top waters too

[@lumpkinangler3613]

What do you fish your jerkbaits with and line size ?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

6’6” medium patriot rod is my favorite

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

And 12lb XPS fluoro line

[@bobbypetro1218]

I think they should have gave you that fish even though you didn’t need it but imagine if you did needed that fish to win tells me you should have replay just throwing it out there lol 😂🎥

[@stevenwalker9013]

If he needed it, it would have been a boat flipped flying bass lol! He knew he didn’t need it and didn’t horse it

[@joshwatson1703]

It's Dee for lol

[@jamesw5836]

Fuzz = pollen It's terrible around here and some days mega is useless.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Didn’t think about that. I bet that’s what it was

[@codegaming_yt7704]

Nice video looks like some cold weather fishing. Check out Know_les fishing we hit bass videos.

[@ecoliesrein790]

Hahahaha 2:35, am I the only one what the hell. Bottom left of the screen. Talking about top water.

[@TheJhood451]

Wow, didnt realize you had a 5 lb'r as time ran out, but then again, you didnt need it, anyway

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yeah that was a close one!
