I can watch your videos for 4 hours straight cause it feels like I’m out there with you on that river, that’s what makes your videos so enjoyable. The sounds of nature and flowing crystal clear water.

I found this channel 3yrs ago and let me tell you, this bro introduce me to the rat, the live target frog, and the whopper plopper, I had been out of bass fishing for at least 7yrs but when I found his channel I purchased lures rods and I found my groove for bass fishing once again!. and he ain't doing all these silly childish challenges or trying to sell you something.

[@theworldsokayestoutdoorsma6804]

Another half hour of relaxing entertainment on the tubes best fishing channel. Makes me want to move to Minnesota/North Dakota. Very enjoyable. Those smallies are gorgeous fish indeed. They don't get alot of air like a bucket mouth but are real scrappers when hooked up.

[@royheilman6662]

Fun video. I want to thank you for so many aspects of it: thanks for not being an obnoxious YT bro, thanks for just doing your thing without swearing and hype. Most of all, thanks for just going to an average place and catching fish and showing that anybody can do the same. We need more of this on this platform.

[@CyclingSJH]

Your attitude and content is all I needed to 'smash that like button and subscribe' in a heartbeat without needing to be reminded. No music, no BS, no drama. Just pure gorgeous outdoors and an awesome, wholesome attitude. Thank you.

[@devansantella1259]

The disappointment in his voice when he catches a Pike😂 I know up there you can catch those like I catch smallmouth in Tennessee! I would love to catch pike and Muskie like that! It’s difficult in Tennessee

[@flashy5150]

I have to say, I love your channel, you’re not all yappy and fake like most of the other guys, trying to sell something. You’re just a country boy doing some fishing - I like your style, very relaxing with no stupid music blaring in the back ground, just nature at it’s best. Cheers

[@DanielBoone337]

I still can get over how clear the water is up there... We don't have anything remotely close to anything like this down in SW Louisiana where I live!!! I've got to go fly fishing on a river like this in Tennessee a few years ago and loved every second of it. But I've always wanted to go catch some smallmouth like this. Great video brother!!

[@leewilson9226]

The right Finish woman would take one of those carp and pickle it up and em good. Like the sound of that river it was so relaxing wanted to take nap while watching this video. These are good videos.

[@gregorylyon7528]

Who would dislike this? Like, why are you here...

Smallmouth bass probably dislike it, but I'm not even sure that's the case. After all, sometimes they come right up to him and let him pet them.

People who dislike how easy he makes it look catching these smallys because they go out ALL DAY and get skunked.

[@Acrylic24]

I think it’s great that you aren’t averse to switching baits and trying different ones regularly. As a new bass fisherman I find myself trying to balance between experimentation with new products and over buying more tackle. Sound familiar? Care to do a vid where you take us into the workshop and display your tackle? I’d find it interesting for you to share your backstory in fishing and maybe rediscover some of your gems buried deep in the tackle boxes that you dust off for a go. BTW loved the tribute vid on your grandpa and showing us how you brought those old lures back to life. Keep yakking man!

[@nocarp]

Great vid! Beautiful stream, and smooth drag on that reel. Interesting how most fish chose not to jump and instead just used the current.

Even my WIFE looks forward to your posts! I fished a building kind of like that on the Mississippi in MN. Beautiful scenery. It’s amazing how you control your boat and presentation in current. I have a Hobie and I can’t imagine paddling and casting without it turning into a huge cluster F.

[@ndyakangler]

The Power Pole anchor is a game changer on stretches of river like this! I can pick apart just about every piece of structure on a short section of river and not have to paddle upstream to far to get back.

[@garycox7839]

George, which Hobie do you own? I've been thinking about getting a Compass. But your comment gives me pause. Why wouldn't it work in this spot? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

[@george8214]

Gary I have 2-Hobie’s with mirage drive and they work great. I’ve tried fishing out of a traditional paddle kayak and I can’t keep it in a spot with even the slightest amount of wind or current. I think ND Yakker has mentioned that the drives run too deep for his type of shallow water fishing. If you were running it up on the rocks in shallow water all day you’d be in trouble. I fish the inshore ocean here in Southern California mostly so it’s not an issue. Good luck you you!

[@marcelodanielsilveira5012]

Nice videos mannn, here in brazil we only have largemouth. It seems the fastest smallmouth, but less jumping. Congratulations on the videos, move on!

[@scuba6797]

I like how you catch monster fish on light/medium set up. Its so much fun. I've never been one to use a 7 foot heavy rod unless I'm using very heavy baits. It's no fun watching some people on youtube with big rods and 20+ test and real in so fast the fish just skim across the top of the water. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. It just takes so much fun out of it when you don't even get a fight. Good Job, keep doing what you do and how you do it.

[@TB-lv2rh]

This guy has to be one of the finest fisherman you'll ever see on TV or KZbin! The fact that he catches hog smallmouth, Pike & Muskie, Walleye, & every other fish that swims shows just how good he is because it's not easy being good at catching everything! The heck with watching those duds doing the fishing tournaments as this is WAY MORE FUN to watch! Of course he uses great gear in all of his videos, but I'll bet he could use a $30 rod from Walmart & do just as good. Again, he's a stud & I'm jealous that I don't have that here in the mid-Atlantic area!

[@pamelapelech3249]

It is so fun when the fish make the reel sing
