Kayak Fishing - 3 Bass, 1 Pike | New Subscriber | May 2024

Bass & Pike kayak fishing in Michigan with a new subscriber who is also a real-life Hero. We caught 3 Largemouth Bass, 1 Northern Pike, and I think I set the Guiness world record for misses in one fishing outing.
Steve recently subscribed to my channel, watched a couple more of my videos, then realized we fish the same rivers. After contacting me, we figured out we live near each other. I learned Steve is a Veteran who received one of the nation's highest decorations for Extraordinary Heroism in combat. Steve retired from the military after suffering life-threatening injuries while saving others. Thank You Steve for your service!!!

Joe that was really special. Nice to fish with a new friend. It's' true therapy out there, in boats we build, for ourselves. My two uncles, served in Vietnam, and are brothers. They both fished with my dad, all their lives, as did i learning to drive his 21ft boat at ten yrs old 😂 My dad taught me everything on the water. God bless all of our vets. They're a big part of our sport, and kayak fishing. 🛶🎣 🇺🇸

Thank you Anthony! I felt privileged to fish with someone so brave. I'd say I can imagine what he's been thru, but I think that would be rude of me...I can't begin to imagine. And you are 100% correct...fishing is therapy...for all of us! 🙂 Thank you for your comment...it was special as well! 👍 Tight lines my friend!!! 😎
