Lake Chickamauga was ranked the #2 Bass lake in the United States. That's what drove me to move from Auburn, Alabama to Tennessee to explore this beautiful bass fishing lake. Follow along my journey as I attempt to catch trophy bass, hone my craft, entertain, and share my learning experiences.
My favorite baits right now are Chatterbait, Alabama rig (A-Rig), Crankbait, Jerkbait, Shaky Head, Frogs. These will probably change as we start to approach Prespawn and Spawn.
Favorite Equipment: Shimano Curado, Duckett rods, Nitro Boats, Mercury Motors, Toyota Trucks, Go pro.

Your an excellent instructor.

[@ronniemartin8391]

Excellent advice

[@k-mparker]

Niiiice tutorial!!! I thought u did a niiice job splaining it. You’ll become a better teacher over time. 👍😃🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@joshjohnson3352]

Most detailed video on skipping I've seen. Btw hunter is a hell of a skipper.

[@Fishin4truth]

Man you're still one of my favorites.

[@bernardedwards5604]

Bro you taught me something for sure thx!!!!

[@chaseerry]

I really appreciate the no BS fishing on this channel. All of these YT fishing guys are so focused on subscribers, videography and clickbait they have lost guys like myself. Great job.

[@jadeshand2990]

chaseerry I’m with you on that. I’ll watch Jon B. occasionally & sometimes LunkerTV, but AP just makes me want to slap him. 🤪

[@robertdouglas9345]

Just stumbled onto your channel, good work my friend! Success will find you!

[@Eyesofthasouth]

You did a great job with ur explanation and demonstration 👊🏼. And hunter has that behind the back over the shoulder skip down! Lol

[@KyleWelcher]

Thanks buddy!

[@kennythao9558]

I love skipping a senko with a spinning combo into hard to get places. Now I’m trying to learn how to skip with a baitcaster.

[@dansaldana3450]

Good video

[@ryanmealer1598]

Your accuracy is great a lot of time on the water!

[@KyleWelcher]

An unjustifiable amount of time

[@k4x4map46]

you know you are the heat when you can end your own video with self analysis! shades came off I'm like hold up roll it back is that him?! yeah man thanks for the video! fundamentals excellent word choice! ping pong, tennis, racquetball and slap dat ask me another question your wrists seems to be a key factor no?

[@andrewjones362]

Nice “trick cast” Hunter👏🏻

[@getthenet2358]

Not sure what anyone else thinks, but that was one of the most informative skipping videos I’ve seen. Awesome job, this technique works. I actually got my butt kicked bye this technique by a guy who used a spinning rod for skipping under those dock. Kyle thanks so much for sharing all your secrets. As you and so many others keep all this info for themselves. You helping others the way you do is all going to make us better. We thank you!

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you. Those comments are what motivates me to continue making these videos. I just want to help everyone out anyway I can.

[@tvance111]

Thank you! I was having tons of problems, not with accuracy but with my ability to continue thru with my skip of the bait. I never thought of the rod positioning after the bait made contact.

[@bryanrichardson6401]

Kyle had badass casting skills, not just awesome skipping skills.

[@larryenglish9292]

Wish version of the same Andy Montgomery video I just watched.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Lots of good info right there. So accurate.

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you

[@richardj6593]

Can you skip a curado 150 DC?

[@jonhaller9241]

This popped up in my play next, the one thing I try to tell people when they are roll skipping is to feel like your elbows never come out from under your shoulders. If you go using too much arm it’s a mess most of the time. So start by just making a roll with the elbows tucked(no skip) and keep doing that letting your bait get closer and closer to the water. Once you have the motion down start letting it touch the water. And your off! I could be way off base🤷🏻‍♂️ but that’s how I taught myself to do it.

[@jessecooper9795]

Was this during the broke down Escalade days?

[@5ross1]

I started flipping docks 30 years ago and always used spinning rods. I like your approach much better but in this case it is hard to train an old dog, so to speak. Your videos just keep getting better. And I think you would make a good teacher.

[@KyleWelcher]

Spinning rods are key at times. I just get my heart broken to often using them

[@raidersc9066]

My new favorite channel...love your fishing style

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you man. It's the fun style

[@Greenfshrmn]

Kyle, this was an excellent skipping lesson. Well done! Tried skipping a frog around docks this morning, then came home, found this video and realized all the things I was doing wrong!

[@KyleWelcher]

I'm glad my content could help.

[@robertdouglas9345]

having Hunter is your videos is a nice touch. I would encourage you to keep her your videos. Nice couple!

[@austinmurph9248]

Met an older gentleman at a pond that said he fished with you recently. Told me to subscribe. Im glad i listened.

[@KyleWelcher]

What was his name? Thanks for checking it out

[@austinmurph9248]

Kyle Welcher my memory is terrible but he lives in Cincinnati and he was out fishing with his grandson.

[@jjifishing4898]

Love the content, favorite youtuber right now. hoping to see you get a tournament win soon!

[@casonprice6688]

JJI Fishing my favorite KZbinr to. He’s awesome!

[@lukedawg357SIG]

You make it look easy thanks for showing I'm going to try this soon.

[@KyleWelcher]

catch some big ones under docks

[@titansfan2104]

I just backlashed in my head like 97 times 🤣🤣

[@KyleWelcher]

Ha I edit all mine out

[@cylambert6407]

Probably the best skipping video I’ve seen learned more from this one than any other ones

[@KyleWelcher]

Awesome glad to hear it

[@frederickwestberry7895]

Thanks for the video Kyle on how to skip baits. Now I'm going to practice skipping baits

[@KyleWelcher]

I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@davidharris4030]

That takes some skill dude! You make it look so easy and it probably is for you but you make me want to work on my skipping. Thanks for video!

[@samuelbarnett476]

Great video. I got more from this then what you think you was teaching. Great job

[@chemmutk1]

Can we skip and pitch with tranx 300 reel ?

[@canez01]

What about thumbing the spool? Feathering the whole skip just let raising the rod slow the bait? Keep up the no B.S. vids.

[@johnsims6925]

Good video Kyle. Thx for sharing.

[@dong8307]

Great video and very helpful.

[@markriley9920]

Thanks for the video Kyle. Your skills with skipping are amazing. Seeing it first hand when I got to Marshal with you was really cool. Hunter has some great trick casts too! Great angler great person.

[@rodrigorosa2820]

What is the curado that you are skipping?

[@lukeberryfishing3570]

Done a better job teaching than you thought!! Don’t have a problem skipping socks but still helpful!!

[@williamfloyd9008]

See Kyle this is the stuff im talking about! very good stuff!

[@jaykin7757]

Headed to practice skipping now..thanks for the video

[@days_past2799]

You make skipping look so easy

[@bobhayes2401]

Thanks for the lesson brother. Now I’ve got the itch and wanting to buy new rods and baits and go wet a line. Kudos on the trick shots, great idea!

[@KyleWelcher]

I though they were funny for sure

[@joshuakerr9896]

Love those trick shots!!

[@KyleWelcher]

She got skills

[@jerrywhatley5168]

great video you make it look easy

[@KyleWelcher]

Why? Turtles and birds eat the dead fish would you rather it just not nourish any other creature

[@abitavenger]

Haha trick shots were great 👌

[@Dixiepepper334]

I always have a problem with one of them dang poles jumping in the way of my jig on Harding . Good video buddy keep the coming!

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

Great skipping and info.

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you!

[@bassfish1800]

Good job

[@jamiehaynes2415]

Great video also the trick shots were a great add I will never be that good

[@KyleWelcher]

She has skills

[@4201bm]

Great stuff, on your way bud.

[@LuxuryZoneProductions]

Love the trick shots I'm gonna try that Saturday lol

[@KyleWelcher]

Gonna be tough to beat

[@duanemccarron9549]

Dock skippin' wizardry right there boys and girls! Great vid, Kyle! Something I really need to work on, but docks aren't big players on the Chain . . . although you sure showed that they are big players back in January!

[@scotthousewright4234]

Good work on videos . Coming down tomorrow around Harrison bay look around do little bank fishing

[@davidmeadows6922]

Nice Video Kyle & Hunter 🎣🎣

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you

[@12ernie]

Good video! Great information!

[@KyleWelcher]

Yessir thanks

[@ferg4847]

Great video!!! 👍🏾

[@levioneal1780]

Another awesome vid man, keep them coming bud

[@KyleWelcher]

Thanks man

[@herb1166]

The best way to teach somebody how to do it not just by words is by your body movement that's how I learn I just watch how you have your thumb constantly on the spool and how you used to tip of your rod cuz that's mainly what to use for control you do that swirling Action with the tip I haven't gotten that technique down yet because I don't fish off a boat very often and or fish around alot docks but mainly your body language would teach others if they know how to read and watch how you're doing it just like reading a book

[@liveoutside3652]

Good stuff buddy. Great vid

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you!

[@HobFishing]

New to the channel love the content brotha! Super enjoyable keep it up! Also love that you love throwing duckett rods!

[@KyleWelcher]

Thanks for checking it out

[@bosshogg6653]

Good ish bruh!

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you

[@brockmannwells]

Man you are PUMPING out the videos! Great video 👍🏻👊🏻

[@KyleWelcher]

Trying to get somewhere

[@brockmannwells]

You will, did you qualify for FLW Tour next year? If so are you going to try it out?

[@KyleWelcher]

@@brockmannwells I did and I will be there

[@wishfulstinking]

Man you did a great job explaining, only thing you missed- you seem to sweep the rod back after the lure hits the water then lift. You talked about the lift just not the back sweep. Good stuff- your a great fisherman

[@TheNikonic]

It helps more line come off the spool so it gets back in there farther and prevents the jig from doing a pendulum. Or at least in theory... thats what I do. Give it a shot

[@skylerbroussard4505]

When skipping do you use your thumb to control the spool at all or will that take to much velocity away from the bait?

[@natesomers5387]

My man!!! Thanks buddy answered right back with a video hit that subscribe button y’all!!

[@richardmiller6604]

She’s capable of doing all of them trick shots. She should be showing us how to do it not you brother. LOL

[@RonBand01]

The trick shots were fun too. My only problem was that I couldn't see what you were doing with your thumb. Were you touching the spool at the first skip. Was the reel set so that you wouldn't get a birds nest without touching the spool? I just couldn't tell. Thanks

[@KyleWelcher]

Should have mentioned that. It's different Everytime. If the cast comes off wrong I'll apply pressure to attempt to fix the cast and I will gradually add a slight amount of pressure while raising my rod tip. I just had a tiny amount so I keep control of the bait

[@bryanrichardson6401]

Do you not prefer a handtied skirt over a banded skirt?

[@KyleWelcher]

The Yankum jigs i use are hand tied but no i do not care either way

[@bryanrichardson6401]

@@KyleWelcher thats crazy. All the non handtied jigs i skip came apart at the collar. I will only skip handtied now. Try truesouth jigs and swim jigs, they're excellent baits.

[@jdubs8381]

Whats ur line preference for skipping?

[@KyleWelcher]

15 to 20 lb flouro

[@kjldsajflkafdjl1027]

Bro you should go pro!

[@KyleWelcher]

I am trying no doubt

[@TopDawg2319]

Have you been down below chickamauga dam this year?

[@KyleWelcher]

Yes 2 times. Love it down there

[@TopDawg2319]

Kyle Welcher been killing em off the rock bar big ole smallies in there right now

[@sweet81985]

When yoy upgrading to an ULTREX?

[@KyleWelcher]

When they send me a free one

[@timg185]

I got the pitch skip mastered but the roll cast is killing me.

[@KyleWelcher]

It's just a little different. Pitch skip is enough for most situations

[@casonprice6688]

How much u want the Curado dc

[@KyleWelcher]

I use it for punching only but I like it enough for that to keep it

[@casonprice6688]

I’m looking to get one

[@jacksonwalker8042]

Do you have a tuned curado?

[@KyleWelcher]

No I don't

[@jacksonwalker8042]

Guy does it around me gonna try it

[@markg.8030]

Skip a frog that's hardest IMO

[@KyleWelcher]

It's definitely tough

[@jadeshand2990]

Good job, Kyle, but the sound wasn’t the greatest. I lost what you were saying when you turned to look at the dock. Do they make wireless mics for those GoPros? If so, might be a good idea to invest in one you could wear on your shirt. You better keep an eye on Hunter. With that much talent in acting, she’ll be off to Hollywood before you know it.

[@richardkeller6940]

Thanks, I actually thought you taught skipping a jig fine. I have shimano slx baitcasters that i love and will try and dial em in. Your girlfriend smoked you ! lol

[@KyleWelcher]

Thank you and i definitely don't mind her winning
