The Day I Fell In Love With Kayak Fishing

[@UltimateGuidetoWoodworking]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@Stemiha]

B Lat I've been watching for about 5-6 years now and it's insane how far you've come in all aspects. The content has become second to none but the fishing is NEXT LEVEL my brother! This is what it's all about

[@EloyQ84]

As a Kayak Fisherman making that first big crossing on a lake is very rewarding.

[@nick.smith616]

Rewarding but that paddle back gets ya.

[@TheBassinBully]

Pedal drive is a game changer tho, paddling can ruin it for most ppl

[@FishingWithFred]

@@nick.smith616 when that east wind comes in….

[@Gbark80]

​@@nick.smith616💯, especially if you didn't catch like you planned

[@svmoua24]

There's a yearly 3-day/2-night canoe camping trip that had started as strictly just some buddies and me about 15 years ago and now has turned into a father-son and family canoe-camping trip. All the 2-3lbs. smallies you could ever want to catch a day with the occasional 4+ smallie and some largies, northerns, muskies and eyes mixed in. Now there's nothing more that I look forward to than this trip and catching them out of a canoe.

[@Boethius411]

That’s awesome my friend. I love floating down a few of the bigger creeks here in North Alabama. The southernmost range for smallmouth. I’ve caught multiple smallies as big as 6& 1 over 7lbs in some water I could never reach wading or in my bass boat. And the numbers in that 2-4 pound class can be pretty great too. Maybe not as good as where you are but that chance for a true giant makes up for it. An hour south there’s shoal bass in that class too… not to mention some monster spotted bass all over the place here. It’s worth it just to get back to nature and the basics. The fish are really just one hell of a bonus. lol

[@dangerfield85]

I haven't had this much fun watching fishing in along time. Shout out for the friendly competition and incredible content 💪🏽💪🏽

[@JLFish]

This makes me so exited for this spring - buying my first fishing kayak!

[@jkingramjr]

Favorite vid from B. Lat fishing my home lake with a local super star Kaylon.

[@DEADWINTER]

I sold my bass boat after I started kayak fishing. I love it!

[@robertholler7262]

I bought a kayak as an inexpensive way to get on the water and fish. I didn’t know I would like kayaking so much. When I bought my bass boat I missed being in the yak. I definitely fish different water yak vs. boat but I still enjoy the quiet and connection to the water and the outdoors that comes with kayak fishing.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Love my kayaks. I’ve been fishing out of a kayak for over 30 years. It’s funny that you said that about Hartwell I fished my first Kayak Bass fishing tournament fished 14th. Just awesome wish I started doing tourneys sooner.

[@maxcole3930]

Cast to side or at 45° angle will give you more resistance in water & better hook sets. A little softer tip rods help keep fish pinned better than fishing from bank or bigger boats.

[@elitegb9884]

I chased points on Hartwell all summer. No motor. Just a paddle. Alota work. Good seeing ya B Lat

[@TheJJohnsonExperience]

Let me just say, representation matters so much. Watching with my kids now. This was awesome. I love kayak fishing. This year I hope to invest in a better kayak so I can really enjoy the water. Thanks for sharing brother.

[@EliJah-pr6jj]

so refreshing to see us embracing the outdoors.

[@bradbechlyb9273]

looks like you hac a lot of fun. love the "" Constructive Criticism " . having a friend that gives back just as much, and no one takes it personal is great

[@jostenspringfield8702]

B Lat, your shows are a whole vibe my man. I could watch it all day. Great production!

[@karolinaflyguy2555]

Love my kayak only been on a boat once. Doing my first tournament Saturday. Joining that kayak fishing club next year. Love this video!!

[@Nedrog2010]

B Lat! Been watching your videos religiously these last few months, and I gotta say, this is one of my favorites man! Hilarious content while maintaining the fishing knowledge aspect. Thanks for what you do and I look forward to more content in the future! Fish on!

[@Metro593]

This is as genuine as it gets, love it.

[@Lars-snyder]

As a New Mexican I get so happy when I hear people say cuz. takes me back to family reunions

[@Lars-snyder]

@Aziz Azif Amen brother!

[@Heli_Angler]

What a great friend! Gotta make that run across the lake!

[@ammodawg4587]

Love watching your channel. Kayaking got me back into fishing. I just moved to Florida and I love it. So many places to fish.

[@Durchii]

Just moved to North Central Florida at the beginning of October (Ian made our entry a little delayed, haha) and I am in fishing paradise. After having been trained as a bass fisherman in the Midwest, but then living in Colorado and Washington for many years where largemouth are few and far between, I am absolutely slaughtering them down here. We live in Ocala and are surrounded by all sorts of lakes to hit, but when I'm just looking to land a fish and don't care about the size, I can just go fling some plastics into the apartment pond and there are always bass ready to strike. I do that damn near every day. Couldn't be happier.

[@robertchadwick1552]

I really enjoyed watching that one. Beautiful lake. Kayak fishing is tough. I just got into it myself.

[@terrytabor4466]

This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen all year!

[@anthonyruffin3619]

That was a great video and your man yeah he was cool look forward to video with him included

[@TwanFears]

Brian!! Man that was great. I support you and I've followed you for years and this my first comment. You are great my brother. I have a bass boat but I'm like you I was skeptical on the Kayak too , I need a Kayak!

[@patrickt1087]

The most water I have covered fishing in my yak paddling was about 4-5 miles. With the trolling motor...I do about 7-8 miles easy now. Peddle or motor allows you to make more casts and cover more water.

[@ElCatrinMuerto]

That shirt... Love it!

[@davidjennings127]

Just watching some one fish from a kayak is exciting.😊

[@davehyer4178]

Love the ribbing. Such a fun video. I love the paddle aspect as much as the fishing.

[@seansullivan5288]

I never comment on videos but I can’t help it. Man, I really dig your story. Good to know there are like minded people all over. No alligators in Ohio though. Take care, fish on!

[@dlmsarge8329]

May to Oct I'm kayak fishing 5 or 6 days a week up here in Ontario Canada. Walleye, pike, bass, lake trout . Getting my Hobie PA12 was the best choice I could have made. I'm in my 60s and have no trouble getting up on the roof of my SUV.

[@noeldoe4817]

I love your videos. Reminds me of when I fish with my brother. It's all fun competition. Keep on keeping on

[@redfishrambo5761]

I absolutely love fishing out of a kayak. I go, at minimum. twice a week on the river in mine, and people all the time ask me why i don't just get myself a boat. They just don't understand the intimacy i get with the water and nature while im out there in my kayak. Plus the kayak is a lot more budget friendly, and i have just as much or more fun on the water than i would in a boat.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Great video, love your evolution in kayak fishing.

[@gregjohnson6799]

Kayak fishing is where it’s at, BLat! Me and my buddies are addicted, too! We CONSTANTLY compete against each other, brutally rag on each other, and make some kind of bet every time we put in. So dang fun!

[@EricRomines]

Last time I fish in Louisiana from a kayak a local told me I shouldn’t be reaching for them fish. The gators like to snatch them from ya. He advised I should use that net behind me LoL I took his advise the remainder of the week.

[@danchilds881]

Your points on boat position.... is why I added a Motorguide Xi3 with spotlock to my P127. 59 yrs old with 2 bad shoulders! I actually paddle alot, but that little motor makes my days a little longer and my body a whole lot happier!

[@SlothySeconds]

Gotta get a pedal drive Brian 😂😂😂 that shit is life changing in the kayak world

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I have one

[@Lemoco44]

What a beautiful place to fish.

[@jayyydgaf3341]

Really love da competitive “trash talking” reminds me of me and my dad

[@Boethius411]

Lol… little bitty boat and alligators. “We did it anyway.” That shit made me miss the bayou.😂😂

[@timtweet8149]

Brings back fishing the bayou's up in northern Louisiana. I was station at Barksdale AFB for 2yrs and fished Caddo and the Black Bayou. Great stuff.

[@maxcole3930]

That place looks awesome! I've been living in southern SC little over a year now. Not far from Clarks Hill & Savannah river. Fishing has been awesome for me. Way better than southern Ohio where I lived my whole life before. I can kayak fish 12 months out of year down here. You absolutely have huge advantage in big bass boat because u can cover so much more water. You just need plan your fishing out before hand & launch in area you wanna fish when kayaking. You have much smaller presence & are quiet & stealthy in kayak.

[@Macdaddy8124U]

I'm sorry to see you have fell to the level of Kayak fishing! I remember the days when you were on the big stage FLW, glorious times they were! Hang in there, never give up......

[@freshlysaltedfishing8500]

Told you you will fall in love with it. Now it's time to put a trolling motor on that bonified. And hit some salt for reds/blacks, trout and sheephead

[@healer81]

You guys make a great team, thanks for the content

[@johnwayne5620]

Love the yak fishing. Can get to some nice shallows and its also nice and quiet.

[@outdoorsforachange]

I'm going to get Elite MB because of this video. It was great watching B Lat in a yak.

[@HustleHabit]

Great fishing with great people. Gotta love it 💪🏽

[@elitegb9884]

BLat what's up brother. I have absolutely fell in love with my kayak ! Love it brother.

[@josephphillips590]

This has to be my favorite video yet, thanks B-lat. Awesome!

[@NoLewis]

Quality video and great soundtracks used! Really set a cool vibe for the video.

[@juanlara4127]

I liked the ad placement smooth you inspired me to start filming my catches with a gopro

[@force9966]

Nice setup on the 127. I run a 107 but grabbing a 127 next fishing year. Slap a motor on that boat buddy way better on the back. I only paddle when my battery is dead or to get into real shallow rocky spots

[@ChillnwithMojo]

The camera guy OMG too good. Everthing well put together wow.

[@battlefieldoutdoors]

Dude kayaks are the best! They crank first try every time and are great on gas :D Stop by and see us in Fort Oglethorpe, GA next time you're fishing Chickamauga Lake!

[@JM-bb8xi]

I fish a kayak on the Ohio River. Its fun! Specially when a barge goes by! The struggle makes it fun!

[@yakmanJ]

Welcome to kayak bass fishin cuz!!! Love the vid fam keep em coming

[@jimwarden9617]

Some yakers have spotlock tmotors, electric traveling motors, and forward facing sonar. They win tournaments.

[@matthewweimer42]

We gotta get you in a kayak on the Susquehanna river.....perfect place for kayak fishing.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Well said, sir! I actually bought a Ranger glass boat this past year. Surprisingly, I still prefer canoe and kayak fishing in all but the biggest water I fish.

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

Restarted fishing after retiring: 1. Amazed by all the capability of bass boats and electronics 2. I'm old school a) Originally a fly fisherman and when I was 10 could fit everything into a 6" X8" belt pouch 3. Like simplicty of Kayaking, despite its drawback vs. Bass boat

[@twenty3_v777]

Can’t wait to get my kayak

[@davidalejandroglennieporra6678]

Nice video!.I haven’t try too much kayak fishing but it has been really cool!!. Regards from Monterrey Mexico

[@georgequinn5762]

Great Video, I’m a kayak angler here in Florida fishing tournaments for red and trout , we host a a few tournaments you should come get some of that action ❤

[@jaggededgeoutdoors3334]

B Lat out here living my dream of having a camper van with a kayak trailer behind it just traveling around and fishing the country. Love it man!✌️

[@RomeTheAdventurer]

Good video good to see you stepping out of that comfort zone...I can't afford a big bass boat so kayak was the choice for me...and to be honest it's all I need. Especially when I get one I can mount my motor on.

[@ch33kz]

Great video 💯! Love seeing you doing your thing on a kayak. You and Kaylon are halirious together, you guys should definitely hook up more often and do more kayak videos. Videography was awesome, the slow-mo release shots & casting and all the aerial shots were all BADASS. Watched this video like 3 times straight. That lake with the cypress trees was super nice too. Killer job brother, Never stop. 👊 ✌️

[@dustinhix6631]

if you set up your kayak with a motorguide XI3 it will feel like a smaller bass boat, since I added one to my yak, I use it more than my boat

[@ptcscagu2878]

That was one of the best fishing days I have seen. Enjoyed the double team kayak attack.

[@petecampa]

Nice!!!... but invest in a peddle drive Kayak and put a trolling motor of choice and enjoy the fun...

[@user-cj8bh3eo2p]

This video is awesome, thank you!

[@djbuzzard]

I'm glad you got to experience what I've known for a little while...love kayak fishing!

[@corvette_jake7225]

This was such a good video man, absolutely hilarious 😂

[@jasonhayes2778]

Dang Mr. Latimer, you still have the campervan. Haven't seen it for a minute and thought you might've returned it. Might have to bring my campervan down and we can go kayak fishing, wink wink. Love your content.

[@GMANSC45]

This looked like big fun! What a beautiful place! Nice production work on the video.

[@Davidfca1]

That was so much fun. Awesome man.

[@unclepaulie70]

This is just how me and my brother be fishing in saltwater......leeville la yaking

[@espio23ify]

19:50 what a shot, beautiful

[@Davii1]

I'm from south Carolina and I know camp croft in Spartanburg has some hugeeeee bass , if I recall I be hearing alot of sc towns in your videos . Check out camp croft ! 💪🏽

[@dougr2279]

Awesome job you guys I love kayak fishing.

[@gregpotthoff8617]

Talkin smack like Charles Barkley and Larry Bird. Love it

[@justfish5205]

I like the kayak view. When are you going to do a review of that sweet new sprinter van?

[@joshinfwtx4506]

You sucked me in with the title. I've never seen your channel before. I'm a kayaker, not a fisherman, but you got my attention. Glad I watched the video. Great job. I really enjoyed the interaction with your friend and how you showed off the beautiful outdoors of Louisiana. Also, your paddle strokes looked pretty darn good for someone that doesn't like kayaking.

[@southernsouloutdoors]

Great Vid! I love seeing you two together! I’ve been admiring your tourney success as a fellow SC native along with also being a fan of Kalon as well in the tourney space.

[@benonem]

ive only fished in a kayak you make the boat life sound so nice LOL

[@Fishingforbasstv]

That Magellan Pro Angler shirt you had on at the beginning with the hood & face shield built in, is one of the best angling shirts ive ever worn! I freakin love those damn shirts! They are 40$ per shirt but man they are worth every single penny! Cool Vid Boss!

[@paulyang8276]

You need to come up to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Hit me up when you do and I’ll show you our lakes up here!!

[@stevehogan8829]

Yep, I can see that. For me I'm a fisherman how loves it more now that I'm kayaking. I like Kayak Fishing better than the other options. Hummm paddling across that lake is not what I would look forward to but hey. I would not be able to even think about casting after a mile.

[@Tackletuesdayfishing]

I’ve actually found out I catch more fish on my kayak in the same spots I take my bass boat too. Probably because I’m a lot more stealthy and thorough when on the kayak

[@gilmunoz8271]

“DOUBLE caught off guard” 🤣🤟🏾

[@D0peSince85]

Well done gents! Production quality is A1

[@sparooniee]

What a clean edit I enjoyed that!

[@dwaynetafffishing]

Kalon is the man! Really enjoyed the video gentlemen!

[@jamest6835]

Great video! found myself laughing the whole time.

[@AngryFishing]

This was awesome man. Must be amazing to fish there.

[@MrJump12k]

Do you have a video on that van?!!!...It looks badass!

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

Fishing in MY neck of the swamp! Looks like Lake Palourde.

[@TheBassinBully]

B lat you should get a pedal drive, it is absolutely the way to kayak fish. That way you dont exhaustbyour arms before even fishing. How much you pay to have a camera crew follow you around

[@parrotinc]

Dang that’s a good quality video!
