Saying GOODBYE to My Boat and HELLO to a Full-Time DREAM!

[@monroebass4606]

Hank, we love the channel because you are old school basics and can show how to fish a lot of lures. Don’t ruin things by using that new boat to make us watch you staring at a forward facing screen throwing a tiny swim bait!

[@secretbassrigs]

And get paid for it without the traveling and financial pressure? Hank is going to miss his old friends at work. Big changes. A true achievement. And a true gentleman.

[@BassGeek]

I try to for sure I ain't going to lie I do love my FFS lol

[@secretbassrigs]

@@BassGeek I think it would be cool if you had more live streams, but on location interviewing baitmakers.

[@BassGeek]

@@secretbassrigs I will miss my guys but I will also be fishing with them hahahaha

[@BassGeek]

@@secretbassrigs we are but family first and with basic 2 jobs right now something has to wait.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You’ve worked hard for this. Congrats and let’s fish soon!!

[@BassGeek]

We really need to man. Yeah I'm not out just yet but we have started getting the ducks in a row.

[@randallrandolph4977]

You the top 3 teachers in my book. You have taught me the most fun I ever saw.

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah thank you! That’s an awesome compliment!

[@thatfishingnoob]

Big moves dude. Keep on keeping on and don’t let the haters weigh you down. They say that’s how you know you’ve made it - when you get trolls and haters.

[@BassGeek]

That is the truth! If someone isn't hating then you need to keep working.

[@BillBabyEscapades-bp4sf]

Best part of waking up is seeing a bassgeek video pop up! Much respect Hank! You're blue collar man of the year in my book!!! Fish on!!!

[@BassGeek]

Hahhahaha. Thank you very much.

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

love, Love, LOVE THIS!!! Rock on HANK!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. We are getting the ducks in a row to make the big leap.

[@DaveWashburn]

Hey Hank, super happy for you buddy. I’ve been following you for quite a few years. It’s really nice to see you get where you are today. Hard work does pay off. Not to mention the sacrifices you make along the way. Nothing is handed to you & grinding your ass off everyday isn’t easy. Congratulations!!! 👊

[@BassGeek]

Yea lots of time away form the wife and family.

[@treverwagner]

Man, I wish I would have watched this when it came out. Thank God that Hank decided to do KZbin!! I appreciate your honesty and being real with all of us geeks out here. You have helped this multispecies angler become a good bass head the last couple years.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir I love doing this stuff and I love learning.

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Congratulations Hank!!! I am so excited for you!! I cant wait to see what the future holds for you!! #100percentwatchsquad

Thanks you sir for doing what it takes to allow me to do this. You and ALL your colleagues are amazing

[@thatpamelapam]

Thank you Hank for sharing your experience so generous.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much

[@JohnZetty]

I got into fishing a little late in life, my early 40s, and like you, I’m 50 now as well. I learn so much and love the way you present yourself and your videos and am grateful for all you’ve done do for the fishing community. Awesome to see you growing and I hope more people find you here, there’s so many wannabe KZbin famous fake KZbinrs it’s good to find the real guys like you. Much love!

[@BassGeek]

We are just a like. I just love to learn and try new things. Fishing is fun, learning is fun, and I love both.

[@davidwilliams1805]

Very happy for you Hank! You still have tons of memories in that boat! Keep moving forward! You're doing a fantastic job!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you David we are still not out of the day job YET but we are getting the ducks in a row for sure.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Congratulations Hank super proud of you man. I have no doubt in my mind you’re gonna be fine and take this YT dream of yours to the next level. I’ll be here rooting for you and supporting you any way that I can. Keep doing your thing man I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us geeks. Tight lines bro have an amazing rest of your week. #hundosquadforlife

[@BassGeek]

Thank you very much. We aren't full time yet just getting the ducks in a row. It's coming soon however.

[@BassGeek]

Hey just put the work in and you can do anything you want

[@tennesseelondon4623]

[@elellelelele5601]

[@BassGeek]

I'll need each and every one of you to. Watching is the most important part.

[@fishinfanaticstv]

Congratulations love it! Never to old to pursue your dreams hopefully I can get there one day too!

[@BassGeek]

Never. I have always been a little late to the party. LOL

[@patshacks3121]

Congratulations Brother! I’m proud of you for following your dreams and not giving up. It’s not work when you do what you love daily. You’ve helped mold me into a decent bass angler and I’m thankful. Your a great teacher and I will support you until the end 👊🏻

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir and I learn every day it's just so fun to learn and try new things.

[@mikesawyer6742]

Hank, I found you when you had less than 900 subscribers 😮 and I thought you were a brother then,and I am so happy for your success,it’s like we grew up together…😂 I’m glad you have the films and videos with Ol’Red to remember. Keep growing and being your authentic self….😜🍀🎣🍀🙏💙🙏

[@BassGeek]

Yes sir and you have inspired me for years sir. We are getting the ducks in a row Scary but exciting.

[@diehardanglers]

Bro I'm proud to see this journey over so many years has blessed you enough to hopefully take this leap and retire from your full-time job and take BassGeek fishing to the next level.

[@BassGeek]

We are still walking that way but it will take just a little more time.

[@brianlee9074]

Congrats Hank. Well deserved my friend. I started watching you when you did your shows from the dungeon. It's not easy to quit a good paying job, but you have a great support system (wife) in place to help with the transition. 80k subs is great, and us geeks will be watching. #100percentwatchsquad And you sir...you rock!

[@BassGeek]

Yes sir. The dungeon about killed me with all the mold. LOL. But we are in a better place now.

[@bigmike19]

Hell yea Hank. Go big or go home. I inspire to be like you when I grow up. Wishing you the most success and that you grow beyond your wildest dreams. As always #100percentwatchsquad!!

[@BassGeek]

hahahaha good luck and live the grind. It can be done down be afraid to learn grow and change.

[@bigmike19]

@@BassGeek thanks hank!!

[@timallen08ify]

Great video. I love the honesty and transparency with what you're doing on your channel. Congratulations on getting that much closer to living your dream. I've been watching your channel for maybe 6 months now, and I can honestly say I would much rather watch a guy like you on KZbin than a pro angler any day of the week. Fish on brother!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you and we are learning, growing, and trying be the best angler and youtuber we can be. lol

[@Techangler65]

More power to you Hank. My God watch over you and your family

All because ive watched your videos ots kind of like a ritual that i watch something of yours every evening! I think ive watched all your shorts twice 😂 and i just wanna say that youve helped me gain confidence in starring my own channel now and ive even got a few hundred views on my own shorts i hopw to start making my own longer videos soon when i get a new camera! And you've influenced that! THANK YOU BROTHER!!! Tight lines and id love for you to xheck out mt channel if you get a chance it wouls mean the world to me! God bless you on your future endeavors! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy for you man, congratulations! I get it... we're in the same boat... lol (pun totally intended). I've been working for myself, as an Internet marketer, for the better part of 20 years. After a lot of prayer and a big step of faith, my wife and I decided that it was time to start focusing on KZbin and content creation full time. I also play guitar and sold off most of my fishing gear for the same reason you're selling Ruby. Client work, although it paid the bills, wasn't getting us where we wanted to be. I've really enjoyed your videos and will keep watching. Good stuff!

[@haroldrogers6566]

This is an inspiration to others that are just to shy to start posting videos. He'll, I probably would if I could actually find fish every time I'm on the lake. It's defeating to zero again and again, but then I have a smashing good day. I have more conversations in my head than I do while fishing or in general. But at the same time I should just record so when I'm gone I have a story left behind.... Keep up the good work and I'll continue to smash the like button. From Lake Minnetonka, MN

[@BassGeek]

@@D.A.1karp that’s right! Your story is about your struggle and growth. The people that fish lakes and ponds that produce 5 5lber every day are NOT what the rest of American anglers experience. Your story is much more relatable.
