Probably Should Have Stayed Home LOL

Well unfortunately this trip went no where near like I had planned. Still had a lot of water on the rise. Scouted out a few good areas the day before but when I went back to them I couldn't access them due to the water coming up another couple feet.

Waterland makes some good sunglasses. Good to see them sponsoring your channel.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah they do. I was definitely impressed. But more so by the way they conduct there business. Really top notch and take care of the people they get behind.

[@darrenhoneycutt4640]

Thanks for your service to the country

[@mickaburkhart14]

No problem.

[@joshgravley4865]

I like when they post videos like this shows people you don't always catch fish. Your human

[@mickaburkhart14]

I appreciate that. Yeah I definitely don't always catch them.

[@Katfish_Mark]

Back to the hurry up and wait bait fishing fun

[@outdoorswithjohn2751]

Let’s see what cicadas will catch! Cool video fishing from the bank! -John Wright

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@4digitfishing]

As a bank fisherman I feel your pain. Our lake is flooded right now too. It's definitely makes fishing challenging. I enjoyed the video even without fish. Personally I think more people should upload videos like this. It's the part of fishing you rarely see on KZbin but it happens to all of us and I think it helps give people that may be new to fishing a more accurate picture of what fishing is really like.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I agree. It's not always pulling hogs out of the water. It's more so for me anyway the chase. And a huge bonus when it works out.

[@donaldthomas6520]

That is why they call it fishing brother I enjoy your videos keep them coming peace out from Ohio Don T

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@beverlycurry4370]

I showed my grandson how you do your Hook knot. I told him it was what you used on that 122 lb cat 😊

[@mickaburkhart14]

Good deal. It's a really good knot. Hope it works great for him.

[@Thecathunter]

Great video enjoyed it. Not a thing wrong with a video like this one.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@trinityoutdoors]

Sometimes you gotta get back to your roots. As always enjoyed the video keep them coming

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@castandtrail]

Watched every minute man, appreciate you posting it and keeping it real. 💯

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@FightinChanceFishing]

Normally I watch you catch fish. Today watching you, it was like when I go fishing - nada. 😂

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol well just keeping it real.

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video be safe out there.

[@pensnut08]

I put a wood duck box in for my Mom and I swear, the baby woodies are going to have a 2 inch drop if this high water don't let up LMAO

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 let's hope it don't get to that.

[@patrickdavis6032]

I am right there with you

[@beverlycurry4370]

OMG 😲❤

[@michaelknight9112]

I miss the old days of bank fishing still relaxing whether you catch fish or not great video

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah I rather enjoyed it.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Just finished the video, I think I will give those glasses a try. I generally go with Walmart specials because I either break em, sit on em, lose em, or drop em in the water, but my last two pairs actually wore out, so maybe I can treat a good pair ok. Although my track record with good (expensive) sunglasses is terrible.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah I was the same way. But man they definitely do make a difference.

[@flyinbrian1987]

Thank you for your service Ol’son

[@mickaburkhart14]

Absolutely no problem

[@givemeabreakdoc]

If not for a family engagement, I was gonna go today and sit in the creek mouths. But now, looks like it might have been a waste of time.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well as far as catching maybe. But still would have been a good time being out.

[@riverrat988]

Great video. I fished of the bank for ever and still do. Sometimes Mother Nature can change our plans. Thanks for taking us along

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah she definitely can. Thank you for your support.

[@donniehenson514]

I have been getting my ass kicked the last 3 weeks every thing is up and raging or it’s blowing 30 miles an hour already sick of all this rain and wind bro 😎 keep grinding and keep up the great work

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it's definitely going to be tough around here for a few days for sure.

[@michaelmarema6785]

I'm glad to hear you made it through the storms. Enjoy your show. Stay safe and tight lines

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I really appreciate your support.

[@brucefortune5861]

The tips from you and spencer helps me out alot. Thanks guys

[@mickaburkhart14]

That's awesome to hear. I really appreciate that.

[@user-xv9bi3ne9m]

We all have went out when just had to get out of the house. Even though we didn't catch anything at least we went fishing. Be blessed. My friend.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah your right.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Just looks like a beautiful day to be outside. Birds singing, blue sky, not too hot out yet, if you catch a fish, great, if you don't, it was still a great day. My local stretch of the Tennessee River (Wheeler Reservoir) is 6' above full pool and they are moving 93k cfs over the dam. Most I have seen in the last 14 years living here is 8' above pool and 105k cfs. These last few storms have hit pretty hard. Stay safe on the shore for now.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Oh yeah for sure.

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

Man go check out Kentucky lake. It’s still accessible. The water is clear and only up maybe 5 ft if that

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah I'm going out there this week I think.

[@darrenhoneycutt4640]

Just picked up 8 mad Kat rods

[@mickaburkhart14]

Heck yeah. That's awesome.

[@beverlycurry4370]

I live in North West Alabama, so I know what you're talking about. I called me grandson that lives to fish and told him I bought me a truck. He said will it pull a boat. I said well if my truck goes fishing I'm going 😂😂😂😂

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 🤣 😂

[@JefferyBarton-tn7zk]

Come to Kentucky and fishing for big blue cats in Kentucky river

[@kid_koolaid]

Do you know the date your new rod will be announced to the public?

[@mickaburkhart14]

No don't have an exact date yet but it will be soon.

[@patohea1100]

Were you 101st Airborne?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yes I was.
