Trouble In Florida | Bassmaster Elite Series: St. Johns River

Ride along as I fish the St. Johns River in Palatka, Florida. This is Stop #4 on the Bassmaster Elite Series. I finally cashed a check in Florida at the Harris Chain. Can I make it two in a row?

Your handling of fish being released sucks I am a native Floridian who grew up in Palatka and fishes Rodman regularly. The Florida strain is special and people come from around the world to fish there. More respect for the resource from a supposed pro is expected.

[@twshatney]

Thank you!

[@KGPFishing]

Bass are very resilient but I understand your concern. I’ll do better when I come to Rodman next!

[@tomstclair961]

To much fire in the belly. I understand it. I was as excited as his age also when it came to tournament fishing. I wouldn't even be able to sleep hardly at all. But being a native myself, I always took really good care of the fish in my well and those I released. We all have to remember!! If it wasn't for the fish, there would be NONE OF THIS OR, THE SPORT!! Right?? So please respect and take good care of them all. Make sure you juice up your live wells to heal any problems with the fish . Also pour some in the mouth on those that are bleeders to assist in stopping the bleeding..

[@stevenmiller7964]

Karens everywhere lol

[@brennencseh3744]

😭😭

[@claudewilliams8000]

Hey bro I'm an OG tournament fisherman I've heard it all there's a lot of young kids that are looking up to you you have good fishing content it's just your mouth buddy I can't count how many times you cussed in 25 minutes and different innuendos cut some of that out for all the young guys that are watching you and the kids you're a great fisherman take care and have a great year

[@KGPFishing]

I definitely could do a better job in that department. Thanks for the reminder.

[@claudewilliams8000]

Thank you for replying back Kyle, you're a good dude and have a awesome fishing Talent enjoy watching you can't wait to watch you the second half of the season. Keep that train Rollin

[@coltendehaan8553]

​@claudewilliams8000 I disagree...being real and authentic is so awesome to watch, I'm so sick of everyone trying to be politically correct. Keep being you Kyle, even if it is as hot as a donkeys massive penis 😂

[@tpparker5262]

Keep up the great work!

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, man! Appreciate it!

[@benatkins1755]

Congratulations on making it through Florida. Looking forward to the next one

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, Ben! Florida was tough, lol.

[@lprzytula]

Good stuff 👊

[@KGPFishing]

Did you like the edit? 🤣👊

[@fadethenoise9704]

Keep grinding. Enjoy watching you. Great story and you sound like me in the boat.

[@KGPFishing]

Appreciate it!

[@Clbbh88]

"One bite... everyone knows the rules" Someone get Portnoy to sponsor this guy. Love the content

[@KGPFishing]

Appreciate it 👊👊👊

[@BartlettOutfitters]

This video was hilarious😂 the donkey dong had me

[@jimtunder5282]

Good video.

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, Jim! Wish it was a 3 or 4 day video though, lol.

[@Theburningseason]

Nice video, I'm new to fishing wondering what that screen is you keep looking at? Would you recommend one for a new angler

[@KGPFishing]

It's forward facing sonar. If you're new to fishing, just worry about the basics 👊👍

[@tomstclair961]

Kyle, yor passing up a prime area right as your turning into Rodman . Stop and see if current is flowing into or out of that boat cut. Those pads are killer depending on which way the current is flowing. Fish the windblown cuts in grass and openings into areas. So many people just blow right past them. Fl. Is a big place for wind blowing cuts and trails.. good luck. 🇺🇸💯✌️😎

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, Tom. I'll keep that in mind for next time 👊👊👊

[@treyprejean8688]

These comments!!! smh.. Keep doing you Kyle!!! 9th AOY.. 3rd ROY..

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, Trey! 👊👊👊

[@613BASS_N]

Really enjoy how you did this with the counter and 3rd person voice-over....very kool Kyle! 🤟😎 - shared to 613BASS'N

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks, man! And thanks for sharing.

[@williamcornelison4721]

I always think how many fish these guys are passing up as the shoot full blast across the lake....??

[@randywunderlich6315]

Interesting video…

[@KGPFishing]

Is that good or bad? lol

[@Saltfly]

Another nice classy well versed young professional kid with electronics. Tournament bass fishing is done. And I’ll never watch again.

[@KGPFishing]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Tournament bass fishing is constantly evolving with new technology, but the love for the sport remains the same. Hope you find something you enjoy watching!

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

11:05 heartbreak!💔

[@KGPFishing]

That was a tough one.

[@user-wv9ok3ff2f]

Fishermen have become the best click bait artist

[@kevinflabouyfishing5739]

Is this the same voice guy as deadliest catch ??

[@KGPFishing]

No, that's Mike Rowe. If you look through my shorts, you'll see one or two reels created with his voice.

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

@@KGPFishingsame voice though bro 🤘🏼he’s the deadliest catch narrator too

[@richardlay1492]

What the cut to not get a check

[@KGPFishing]

Top 50 make it to day 3 and are guaranteed $10k. 51 to 75 get "baby checks" which are $2,500.

[@wildbillwassmann6593]

🍉 🦇

[@KGPFishing]

🤣👊

[@johnnymagee8866]

Never caught fish in 100 mile hr 200 thousand boat

[@KGPFishing]

Me either.

[@manko717]

Could have stayed at the dock and caught dinks

[@msg2myson1]

What's up with the "closed no fishing" click bait, Kyle? You shouldn't need to lie to get views, let your content speak for itself and you'll get the views you've earned.

[@josephbusciglio9260]

Did you watch the actual tournament? Thumbnail makes perfect sense.

[@msg2myson1]

@josephbusciglio9260 The thumbnail on his video makes no sense, and it is click bait for "His" video.

[@KGPFishing]

I caught 10 pounds and 12 pounds. Felt like the lake was closed to me. That being said, did you REALLY think the lake was closed and the thumbnail image was real?

[@msg2myson1]

@KGPFishing The lock could've been broke and that part of the lake was closed. That's what your thumbnail makes a person think when seeing it plan & simple.

[@KGPFishing]

Fair enough. My apologies if you felt mislead 👊👊👊

[@williammiller735]

Misleading. Why???

[@user-pm7uf2mj6o]

You need to learn how to treat the resources. Letting fish flop on your deck to release and then getting one caught in your Jackplate is not treating them right and also a black eye on the sport.

[@KGPFishing]

Good comment. I need to do better 👊👊👊

[@tpparker5262]

What an internet troll. I'm all for fish care, but check yourself and do what you can for the resources before coming after others. When's the last time you've work with your local DNR. These guys do way more behind the scenes then you know. Keep quiet and move on.

[@jimmiecampbell4357]

&9+....Cuss myself....BUT not where kids are..THESE are seen by kids... Have a little respect.

[@tpparker5262]

😂

[@KGPFishing]

I bleep out the major swear words. I designate all of my content as "not for children" when I upload it. In my opinion, if a parent is doing their job, then my content shouldn't even be visible to a child. That's like getting mad at a movie on Netflix lol.

[@bobbywallace8976]

Your fish release is disgusting respect what makes your livin not professional at all

[@KGPFishing]

You are 100% correct. I need to do better.
