Getting skis in a kayak is a blast. I got two of my biggest last fall in last 12 years a 46 and a 50. Blessed from god with those two.

[@kasonf2176]

That musky catch is a dream! Amazing

[@nancymills5993]

You had a heck of a day fishing. Glad you didn’t stoop to his level and made no response to him. For some reason those types of people seem to think they own the water and all good fishing spots and get mad when someone “takes what they think they own”. Great Muskie, great attitude, and congrats on 7th!!

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Boaters are often disrespectful and down right dangerous on the water often. One of the big reasons I got a boat for the lakes around here is on my kayak I worried a lot about getting hit on a kayak during summer boating season.

[@cliffordhutt143]

Can't say I care much for the bass boat crowd either. Love my electric only lakes, and ledge-filled, lower unit busting smallmouth rivers in Maryland.

[@onebadcrewx4]

I only fish out of a boat, never tournaments, and these guys are the worst. Too many tournament guys think they own the water and if you exist on that body of water, you're in their way. His tournament matters. Your life, your tournament, does not. Did you not get that memo? Here we are, just out on the water trying to have a good time, and some of these guys are running around with mental disorders looking for a place to explode. I love that this guy probably thought he was the fastest guy on the water only to be beat to his spot by a bunch of guys pedaling.

[@Angiefishing1]

Yep, the Only bad experiences I ever have had are from tournament, guys.

[@pmm422]

Awesome fish!!! That dude in the Phoenix can't really afford that boat. He is probably over leveraged to the hilt and thought he could win a couple of tournaments to pay for it and now it's about to be repossessed. What he thought was a sure thing has turned into not coming close to even cashing in a single tournament. Totally stressed and blaming the world for his own miss judgements.

[@BassHole_JBNT]

Great fishing bud. And hats off to you for keeping your cool with that boater 🤦🏻‍♂️. Keep the great videos coming my fellow fishing friend 🤙🏽🎣 What’s going on with the other channel?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I’ll be 100% honest it’s been so hot I can’t sit in the beard barn and make video for it lol - I’m going to get back on it soon.

[@jurlinquist]

How you kept your composer hooking into that muskie is wild. I would have been singing a capella!

[@TWC6724]

So what kills me about these type of guys is do they think us kayakers never owned boats or currently have a boat as well? We are all anglers no matter the vessel. Man, what happened to love for your fellow angler? We used to support one another.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I wondered how he would have acted if I was in my Skeeter 🤔

[@prestonphillips3375]

Why would it matter if you’ve owned a boat before?

[@TWC6724]

@@prestonphillips3375 My point is that people like this seem to separate anglers into 2 classes of people that don’t understand each other or something. Why would it matter to him if it was a kayak angler or a boat angler there when he arrived? It’s an angler on a fishing vessel right? Some of us own boats as well so I don’t understand why he would yell out “you kayak Mf’rs!” like we are a different breed of human Lol.

[@manveru88]

"What happened to love for your fellow angler?" The amount of people on the water has grown but the water hasnt grown with it. Thank everyone saying grow the sport.

[@SimonC82686]

Ohhh the boater's rage was very satisfying. I fish from the bank, this past year on Cherokee lake I've had TOO many boaters and kayakers either cut me off from whatever cover I'm casting at or trolling directly over my line. I'm not the type to start an altercation so I'll usually just move on to something else but it's been very aggravating, on one recent outing I decided not to move and stand my ground, a kayaker paddled up to a weed line were I was catching them on a frog and went off because he wanted to fish the same spot. Guy lost his mind when I replied I was there first and started raging like he had tourettes and then threatened to "make me disappear". People have become really emotionally unstable these past few years.

[@rodneyhart1826]

My biggest fear when I'm on the lake fishing on weekends. On another topic, I see you have not bumped into a custom kayak trailer. If you don't plan on buying one, it would be nice to see a review or your trailer. I have a PA 14 and looking for options. Thank you for the videos! GOD Bless!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s just a standard utility trailer from Tractor Supply. I made sure and got one with the gate that folds into the trailer so I could lay my kayak on it 👊🏻 - I’ll walk through in an upcoming video.

[@calvinjohnson9117]

Love fishing that stretch, every boater I’ve run into there has been super respectful. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Some people just think they own it all and don't want anyone else to have fun catching fish. It's a shame. Nice muskie!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍

[@ROGUEBLU]

I TOTALLY agree on the boaters not sharing the waterway and endangering us kayakers. I did not get flipped but got soaked by the waves breaking over my bow. On the way back into the landing I came across a guy with a bunch of stuff in the water, I was wondering what is this dude doing, when I go up close to him he stated he wished I had grabbed his stuff as I was coming in. Apparently the definitely drunk party goers on the party barge had flipped his kayak and he was trying to get his gear back. The entire day these dummies just cruised up and back down the main channel . Yes not fun, but never thought of it as serious as he could of died. Correct he could have been seriously injured, who knows how much gear he lost, it cost him or lost his life.

[@DoubleDFishingAdventures]

Awesome video! I can’t believe that people have to act like that.

[@josephpecoraro2788]

Alex I sure they can fine the guy mad that two tournaments were held on the same day. In future tournaments it would be mentioned of these problems before somebody gets hurt.

[@PenguinOutdoors]

Muskie catch was awesome! Forget that guy but sadly happens all the time.

[@veenhek]

We all have a lot going on in our lives but no need to be angry at someone else for minding their own business and not harming someone or someone else’s property.

[@donaldferris1638]

Animosity towards kayak anglers seems to be growing from the boating crowd. We had a boat club loose its sponsor over negative comments made on social media about kayak anglers participating in the west coast championship

[@altus8312]

Idk that I could have not said anything to that guy.. good on you

[@williamburley3495]

You should have reported him to the tournament director. Where I am from the boater would have bee DQ for unsportsmanlike conduct. No call for that reaction.

[@BassDudeFishn]

That's why I fish small lakes that only allow small HP motors. Too bad we all can't get along.

Great video and yes it's bad how some people get about fishing I might be able to understand it if you are already fishing there and someone comes over there and just go to fishing over you if I walk up on someone fishing and it's a spot I was wanting to fish I will ask them if they mind if I fish in the same area if yes I mind I go somewhere else

[@alanbuvelot831]

Congratulations on the muskie.

[@michaels-hoooorahhhse5290]

If you can pull his numbers, you should notify the tournament or authorities.

[@1jimif]

Exactly try to see if you can get the registration # from the video, and turn them in. It's a public lake you can't own a fishing spot! People like that need to be turned in! If nobody does anything, they won't stop. You are right that's how people get shot... FishOn....Jim

[@willjunkin732]

Fortunately I have never had an issue like that. The interactions I have had with boaters has been positive. Those boaters really need to check what really matters in life. I am curious how you choose the baits you take when going out.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I chose a lot based on history and what I think the fish should be doing. I also have some staples that work dang near every where that I take with me. Example from this video the Slobber Knocker.

[@Bafa]

What are those sleeves being put over the rods when the fishing ended called and what purpose do they serve?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It’s a rod sleeve. They protect your guides.

[@steveodonnell2921]

More and more kayaks out there these days for sure. I'm curious, when going by one I always go no wake but I see alot of boaters go wide open by them. I would assume kayakers would prefer no wake, correct?

[@FishinPhysician]

Yeah, if possible. A smaller kayak could easily flip if they get caught in large wake

[@dougp8345]

Yea, I hate boat bullies. And honestly, I prefer a boat to go by on plane cuz there's less and lower wakes, but NOT 15 feet away. Totally unsafe. Good fishing to ya.

[@Wildirishmanbiker]

First off, wow nice musky geeez- incredible. Yea I was fishing Cumberland Lake when I lived in East KY and had a few goofballs that got hot over me fishing their section of the lake ha ha. Most fishermen are like hunters. Good people but you always have a few bad apples 🍎 subbed channel! What kind of yak were you in?

Its the old hockey player in me...time and place so take a number for next time when the odds are better. And I can't remember if it was Twain that said never argue with an idiot. It takes us too long to realize they like it. Or another way arguing with stupid people is like wrestling a pig in mud. Either way you had a good day and caught a musky that people who fish for them would be envious of. #winning. Blessings dude and that dock owner should take a 12 step program off his 10 step dock.
