[@kellymason4190]

Awesome video. Real fishing. 🤙🏻

[@wifisherman4]

You da man! And Donny! Love seeing you put in the time to film in the morn not knowing what was going to happen at the end of the day.

[@tonygravley1311]

good video... always pick up some learning!!! thanks for the knowledge!

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks tony!

[@mikeg5523]

Second place on Okeechobee!? Looks like you guys nailed it by staying with it. Congrats Mikey. Great video.

[@Fishingin290]

That attached ladder on the trailer is the sickest thing I've seen. At the end of a fishing day, you're tired and you know you got to hop in the boat to clean up.. Those steps are a must have now..

[@timprall5417]

Awesome job guys, we all know that normal frantic kick ass mode that usually ends up in heartbreak during tournaments. You both looked like oh well, another day on the water attitude and got it done! CONGRATS FELLAS! Mikey, Your energy is awesome, keep it up man!

[@donbaine118]

That was epic! There is no such thing as a walk of shame when you weigh a limit on tournament day. We all want to win for sure. Bring in a limit and hope for the best. Congratulations on a he'll of a tournament. I love the video man.

[@ronniecarlson4667]

Nice bag guys. That's one of those glory days. Congratulations!

[@mattthomen1608]

NIce you and Donnie Bass went out and rocked the big O!.Neat to see you get the big fish! Love punch rigs! 👊 solid Florida fishing 🎣 👌

[@mikeybalzz]

Need to get up that way man!

[@Gotafish1]

Always great to watch your videos Mike. Got me an RV spot over on Istokpoga yesterday at Mossy Cove since in my opinion the Stick Marsh is pretty much dead. Grats on the tourney

[@mikeybalzz]

Congrats sunny. Poga has Giants!

[@Gotafish1]

Hoping to get on the Crappie as much as anything. Bus so many lakes around it that I have plenty to fish. Maybe now I will get to meet you.

[@jamesnewbern1242]

Great video men .Still can't believe i finally meet you that day with my nephew. What were the odds.

[@BassGeek]

Hell yeah way to go guys! Man I've seen guys reach down in to mats to get fish out. HELL NO grab a gator by the lip no way man.

[@mikegonzalez4469]

Your Bad ass bro !!!

[@Larry77777]

Hey Mikey: It is clear that you actually DO wanna "get above your pay grade". I love your channel mostly because of your fishing/catching without competing/winning.

[@mikeybalzz]

thanks man. i'm actually trying to grow this thing so we'll see what path it takes me on. been an adventure thus far!

[@b.j.harris9109]

wtg I love your videos and I'm glad to see that you are doing so great and what is the name of your buddy's baits you said he use home made baits I wish I could be like you i had someone to come and steal mine and my kids and my dad's fishing rods and tackle but it is what it is but I want to say thanks and I appreciate all that you do for us I mean you do these fishing videos with a family and a job but you still do them to help us so thanks and congrats on the great second place bro that was great and you got the biggest bass to nice

[@katemassie9128]

At 22:35 to 22:55 you say more than you know about tournament fishing. Nice work, btw

[@rangerbull]

Water looked muddied up good job

[@mikeybalzz]

definitely a lot of dirty water out there!

[@timdavis4532]

Nice job mike. I’m coming down there October. Any tips for me that time of year?

[@Hugofgarza1984]

alllllllllllsum sauce!

[@joshdickens3974]

Them was some nice Bass I would love to catch some that big my biggest bass is probably about a 3 pounder

[@landonbragg6732]

I went out on lake okeechobee and it was to windy I fished the river canal on the outside where these boats docked in and caught two 6 and an 8

[@mattnash5159]

Donnys WAY too clutch😅 My bro y'all smashed out there and most importantly it looked like you had a Blast and that's always fun too watch!!

[@mikeybalzz]

So much fun dude!

[@rich5708]

This is kinda personal but what’s your thoughts on Scott Martin. My personal opinion I like the guy he gets out there and has fun fishing w.e but some of the other guys seem to part time fish.

[@EricLeetFishing]

Hey #mikeybalzzfishing, how do you like those ARK rods? Those have been on my radar

[@brianadams7183]

How’s that Phoenix ride?

[@scottbrits3915]

Hey, if you go fishing in a buddy's boat in a tournament or just a fun fishing, howMany rods will you take with you and how tackle? What are you main things you bring with? I liked and subscribe, great video 🇿🇦

[@mikeybalzz]

i always bring way too much stuff because i like being prepared - but that's just me. donny is the opposite. when he fishes inmy boat he brings like 3 rods and one plano box.

[@scottbrits3915]

What will be your main rods and reels etc Flipping stick, topwater

[@porthos6914]

and chatterbait!

[@mikeybalzz]

2 lfipping sticks, 1 for mats, 1 for emergent stuff, and a 7 3 H rod for frog and topwater stuff in grass, and a 7 mh for all the utilities - trap, chatterbait, spook. all with braid heavier on flipping 50lbs on everything else. all high speed reels like 7 2 1 or faster and decent reels that hold up to braid.

[@blackedoutgst]

What's your theory on how far fish travel after being released at a boat ramp after a tournament?

[@mattressesunderwater]

Gotta admit I do the bubble bath thing on derby day bro!

[@mikeybalzz]

whoa dude the bubble bath is whole nother level. i'll have to give that a try!

[@mattressesunderwater]

Man definitely...it helps me relax and peacefully collect my thoughts for the derby and helps me loosen up and helps my back not hurt so much.

[@mikeybalzz]

me and you are on the same page my friend!

[@fivekeepersfishing9050]

Mattresses Underwater all my buddies give me heck because I am a bath guy myself!👊🏻

[@mikeybalzz]

i think this almost calls for a video about baths as pre tournament ritual for success...bubble baths, cold baths, epson salt baths, the list is endless.

[@broderickluckey8108]

where's that color on TW? I think you called it "killer bee"?

[@mikeybalzz]

Looks like it got discontinued

[@austinspringer7114]

Awesome video as usual and congrats on the second place and big fish. I really don’t have a problem with the announcer like some of the other commenters. At least he has a personality like Dave Mercer(BASS) and Chris Jones(FLW) that won’t put the crowd to sleep like the bunch of Eeyore’s making comments about him. 😂👍🏻🎣

[@lojofishing]

imagine that happening while in a kayak...those gators get close sometimes...

[@mikeybalzz]

dude they're usually tame as hell and then that happens!

[@kurtrindgen4708]

Donny listened to his “gut.”

[@mikeybalzz]

Exactly

[@danplatt7385]

Awesome channel.. new subscriber here!! Will spread the word!!

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks man!!!

[@jakeorr23]

The announcer at that tournament is a PUD

[@mikeybalzz]

Peanut is awesome man he's a trip!

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

Agree, he is trying to hard

[@jakeorr23]

mikeybalzz fishing no disrespect man, I think the camera made him try to hard to be funny, anyway, love the video brother, keep up all the good work. Thanks for teaching me so much

[@ShutErDownBud]

Fish with the googan squad and scott martin

[@kevinflabouyfishing5739]

Is it true the amount of rocks in this place? Heard it lake lower unit

[@mikeybalzz]

when the water is low it does get sketchy. there's rocks but it's there's also some big reefs offshore that are bad.

[@bullet5351]

great job, hate to be negative but it is a wonder there are any bass left alive, the way they left the fish out of the water in the bag on the scales way too long! weigh them and get them back in the water as soon as possible!

[@joeculler2943]

no flippin hook? snell knot?

[@joshandthejam7806]

I sure am glad there are no gators in Montana. Just other things that eat you in the woods. Waters golden.

[@lewandlo]

That announcer is obnoxious....To bad you had to deal with him. hahaha. Way to go guys..Almost got it done.

[@levelusion8334]

That guy said bro at least 100 times.

[@franklyons5104]

Not a fan of that announcer

[@mikeybalzz]

he's fun man, just gotta enjoy it, better than being boring.

[@KevinSmith-dq9tz]

Bro bro bro. Haha

[@franklyons5104]

Who won?

[@mikeybalzz]

brandon medlock and chuck metheney i think.

[@benkierstein9771]

Watching this in 2023 feels like everyone gets paid to fish now lol

[@mikeybalzz]

Let me know where to sign up to get on that train

[@jyankeesrock]

pendulum

[@drumandball]

18:30 this dude's weirdin me out a little

[@kylescott6225]

Commentator. Terrible! Good

[@loganschrader1148]

That announcer is a fool.

[@tylanworkman2385]

Your laugh is halaris

[@jessedabstersmunoz]

Halaris??
