When Should You Start Fishing Tournaments?

[@charlescunningham7056]

Thank you for saying that about about older people. I really didn't get into using what my dad used to call" stove wood" until I was in my mid 50's. A Army buddy of mine wanted to start fishing local tournaments on Lake Chatuge. Long story short we finished just outside the money the first time out and was hooked(pun intended) and after that we have won a few local tournaments on different lakes from Hartwell to Lanier. I'm now 62 and have had open heart surgery and cancer and the thought of getting back to fishing has been the best medicine for me. I watch all your videos so I can learn more about bass fishing.

[@derrickarthur2295]

I realize it is kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?

[@DSToNe19and83]

Godspeed and tight lines Charles! 🍻

[@DavidMccallister65]

Thank you for pointing out that age doesn't matter! I get tired of the "How to become a professional fisherman" videos where the guys always say, "Ok for you guys that are in high school or you're graduating college...." Dude! I'm 36 and I wanna become a professional tournament angler! ☝️

[@williambaugh6576]

I have been fishing off and on my whole life but I joined the Navy and completed 20 yrs of service. Now that I am retired I have been doing a lot of research and fishing local tournaments. I will next year be fishing amatuer Bass Fishing League (BFL) for the first time at the age of 51. I feel like a teenager going on his first date, I am so excited. I was told that the schedule will come out in October and I can hardly wait. So, there is no age limit like B-Lat says to having fun at fishing. I go every chance I get and if I catch fish or don't I am still having fun.

[@rippinlipsfishin4011]

Love this man! I’m 24 and I’ve been wanting to pursue this for the past 4 years which is when I caught my first bass. Never gonna stop dream chasin’

[@robertstephens4294]

Brother I am very impressed with you; your outlook, your determination and your dedication. I am 69 years old and I feel the same way concerning fishing. My only fishing is the pond in my backyard because of medical condition but I stay out there all day.

[@deediddy]

Good advice. I bought my first bass boat at 60. Never fished before. What a way to stay young.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

DW B I love these stories

[@shred5]

Good for you, living life like it counts :) I hope to buy a bass boat before I turn 40, but I was diagnosed with colon cancer and Lynch Syndrome and will need a colonoscopy for the rest of my life, so that's probably not going to happen now :( I haven't really fished in years until last year. My youngest son always asked if we could go fishing when we'd go camping, but I never had room for rods in the car as we completely packed it, but last year I got a bigger car, bought some better rods and had more fun than ever before.

[@stackzoverheaddoors454]

Love it

[@sherrywilliams808]

My mom has colon cancer my prays go out to you and you family

[@sherrywilliams808]

My names Derek and I'm 25 I love bass fishing been watching Rick clun kvd etc all my life I wanted to be a pro this year I'm going to make it my goal to get a bass boat and start fishing local tournaments for awhile then once I get a grip on it I plan on fishing bassmaster costa and try to qualify for the elites idk if i will go at first if i qualify but when I'm ready i will make the move I pray I make it thanks for the tips B lat

[@Bloodnativ1]

Super inspiring. I started fishing when I was 2 and didn't stop until my teens when we moved away from the lake. I was obsessed with it and all I wanted to do was be like Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Rick Clunn, etc. Not having easy access to water, other endeavors pulled my time and energy for many years. Then came the family and crappy jobs. I couldn't even afford to look at a picture of a boat. Now I'm 48 I just bought my first boat a year ago and will be fishing my first tournament this very weekend (2/9/19) on Lake Wylie, as a boater. I still have the dream. But now I also have the maturity and income to at least get started at the club level. I may not ever make it to the FLW or Elites but I'm gonna give it everything I've got and see where it goes. Thanks brotha.

[@zachshott7833]

I'm 33 and never fished a tourney in my life, but it's smthn I'd really like to get into. Work, work, work, saving for a boat, and fish as much as I can honing up on my skills

[@333crispie]

Thanks for the video. Great subject to open up to input. My test to see if a young person is ready for a day of fishing from a boat is to take them pond fishing. If I need to drag them away from the water when we are done, they are ready. If they get bored and loose interest, not ready. Bottom line, keep taking kids fishing. Invite a dad with a young kid who has an interest in fishing. Open door, be an ambassador. Great stuff, thanks again for representing the sport so well. See you on the water.

[@kevinbrown2630]

I have fished most of my life. Not professionally. Lol. I'm 45 and me and a buddy decided to fish our first catfish tournament this year. It was the biggest in Missouri history. There was 168 teams. Long story short alot of great guys of all ages were in it and pros also. At the end I had a great time and never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine at a first tournament that we ended up in 2nd place. That was a great weekend. And we through it together at last minute on a Friday night and tournament was on Saturday. I'm glad to see you make a video on the subject. Keep up the hard work and it will eventually pay off. Good luck to all.

[@edwardcowan7012]

I started at 16 but BASS was less than 10 years old so that was the youngest a BASS affiliated club was insured for. They have a 3hr big fish tournament on a local lake every Tuesday, $10 entry under 16 free, my youngest started fishing it when he was 3. They paid 3 biggest and smallest legal, I think he cashed when he was 4.

[@stevesteve9202]

For me I really didn't start until I was 41 with the tournament scene. I feel the same passion now about bass fishing that I did as a teenager playing football. The comment about fishing keeping you young is so spot on. Feeling that drive to improve and be successful like B explains in this video is the spice of life that makes for true happiness. I hope my kids and all kids can find their passion whether it be through fishing or something else.

[@niammoore3896]

The GOAT^!! I'm about to buy my 1st boat at age 43.. My Goal is to Win a Tournament in it 1 Day.. IDC if it's a Work League, a High Rock Lake Tourney, Salem Lake Tourney😂 I just wanna Hoist that 🏆 1 Day #SaluteBro

[@xacex001]

Won my first local tournament this year at 53 years old. Had to frame the envelopes for big bass and largest weight bag. Second year in the league and love getting in the mix. Great video!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Al Jackson man these stories of older guys really inspire me

[@fishingforveterans4379]

I plan on retiring about time I turn 50 and fish tournaments for the rest of my life. I should have a house and boat and cars paid off by then. Just use my retirement check to fish tournaments.

[@awildman1742]

I fished tournament's in my early 20s. Then the military/life got in the way. Retired a little over a year ago. Bought a boat. The desire to fish competitively has returned with a vengeance. I'm getting after my local ABA tournaments this year. I'll be 51 in 6 months.

[@garyfortenberry5829]

You and Scott Martin are the two most positive pros I’ve come across. Great things are ahead!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

That’s easy to do when you’re grateful!

[@qualitybassboyz1845]

Bless you bro.. I've been saving for a long time for a boat to start. I'm 31 still saving for one smh but i have hope in what i love so the wait is real.. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going no matter what age you are.. Thanks bro✊

[@cabuelprota]

I take my kids fishing since they were just weeks olds they 8 5 4 1 and they all love it not scared to hold a fish or to grab a live shrimp from the bucket

[@BassGeek]

Hey man fishing and fun. If it wasn't such fun I wouldn't spend near the money I do on it. It's just a dang good time.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

BassGeek I know that’s right

[@jaredkemperfishing]

Theres nothing more fun I can think of and yeah I've spent a lot myself..lol. Every fish is a rush. No better fun on earth

[@bassnhockey]

This video makes me happy. I’m currently a professional hockey player, and that has a strict time limit on it. Hockey is my life but Fishing is my passion. Always wanted to pursue it after hockey.

[@glennwebster4822]

amen on the fun,, from brim fishing in a farm pond,, catfishing in a river,, crappie fishing in a lake,, striper fishing at lake murray,, it is all good for the heart and soul,, and if ya happen to catch a few,, that just makes ya day that much better

[@michaelfeister1128]

I love your insight As an older dude just getting into bass fishing I really appreciate hearing the positive vibe Fan for life man

[@trevorbraden5448]

I've always wanted to tournament fish but never knew how to get started

[@antwansneed9051]

Real good advice I’ve been bank fishing now for at least the last four or five years now and the only thing I like about it is the excitement of it all because when I hook up with a big bass I really enjoy the fight as well as learning new techniques to the sport I’m almost 50 years old and it’s really satisfying to me the only downfall is that my wife is afraid of me getting a boat to get out on the water

[@randoinc]

31 when I caught my first fish. Now it’s something that i want do and to try new areas so I can catch more...great video.

[@smalltownbassfishin1247]

Man I definitely needed this! This is definitely motivation as I'm 36 and ready to make a change

[@MrMemphisTn901]

Fam you spit a lot of knowledge in this video, we appreciate you keeping it 100

[@brettpatrick6841]

Thank you! At 45 I am debating it!

[@shootertg]

Your videos show up in my feed at the perfect times. With work always in the way I see this as impossible until retirement, but I will be working toward a boat. I truly hope I can figure out a way to retire by 55. I do think that I am going to look into co angling just to have the excitement. Online tournaments are a blast but I really want to get out in the water.

[@Fishingwithfaithoutdoors23]

Man I wish I knew all this when I was younger, my dad fished and hunt but not on a weekend to weekend basis. I can fish all day on a bottle of water and one bag of tater chips! I love bass fishing! And just now getting in it heavy, or at lest trying to lol. I want to fish treatments and I’m 36. BFLs and home local treatments is my goal for now. If I don’t get to see the bassMasters or opens then at least my son will have my support to go the distance if he wants too. He will be 2 February 17. God bless brother, o and hey have you fished lake blackshear GA?

[@appalachiankayaking2430]

Thank you for the encouragement. Have been stuck on the bank for so long and finally scratched together the money to buy a 95 bass tracker tx17. Unfortunately I have been fighting to get it titled due to buying it in a different state but hope to start fishing local tournaments next year!

[@artish.633]

WOW B - LAT THIS IS SUCH AN INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US , YEAH WOW MAN.

[@dandavis8447]

When Should You Start Fishing Tournaments? "Brian, this video will never get old man.....inspiring information for a man that's little older :) just like the golfer bug.. fishing bug got me.."

[@snakelvffvv5440]

Well said BLat. I’m 45 years old I’ve fished for all kinds of fish my whole life, whatever I could catch. A year ago I started seriously pursuing bass. In March I fished my first tournament and have been 100% hooked ever since. Trying to get my 10 year old daughter into it with me but I know I can’t force her to like fishing so when she wants to go I take her.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Snake lvffvv one tournament hooks you every time

[@trevorbraden5448]

I'm 45 and just started fishing about 3 to 4 years ago seriously..... I never had like a fishing role model growing up.... but ran into a fishing buddy.... and it's game on now....... still got a lot to learn though

[@cassidyvining2975]

Man your so down to earth!! I love your channel! Keep it coming.

[@rogercastle2434]

I decided to get back in this year. Picked up a Ranger boat and some new gear I'm 59 and use to fish tourneys. I may start fishing tourneys again, but for now, I just want to get enjoy being on the water. Look at Roland Martin, he's in his 80's and is still fishing strong.

[@kbplug8352]

Yo Brian what's going on! My name is Keaton and I'm from Atlanta ga! I am 30 years old and I love to fish especially for big bass! I recently learned about you just searching fishing videos and came across you and I have to say you are a very big influence to me wanting to be a pro bass angler but im starting all the way from scratch, meaning it's been years since I have been fishing but I have been 4 times this month! And im hooked all over again like it's my very first time so thanks for all the amazing videos and hopefully one day I'll get a chance to fish with you PEACE

[@fishingforveterans4379]

Awesome video. I've been wanting to get into bass tournaments for a while but debt has put a hold on that. I just got my first boat 6 months ago. It's a 17 ft Jon Boat that I'm going to make into a bass boat. But I have to wait another year to pay stuff off and get the money to buy the materials. Awesome video though. I'm 35 also. I'm guessing this what I needed to hear. Been feeling down bc I haven't been fishing much bc of work. Well this helps alot. I got time. The goal is to retire early and fish for the rest of my life.

[@dustinweinberg2555]

Great advice man! Love your videos and your an inspiration to me and many others to start tournament fishing and get better and more into the sport of fishing!

[@karolinaflyguy2555]

Major encouragement I'm 35 caught my first bass July 2018 been addicted ever since bought me a kayak multiple rods and take mad notes. I appreciate your videos.

[@williej.allenjr.510]

Brian, I've wanted to tournament fish since I was a child getting dropped off at the local reservoir in San Diego. I now live on a lake in Florida and catching the hell out of Bass with the help of you and other youtubers! I haven't tournament fished yet but it's coming! I appreciate all the wisdom on fishing and life you share on your channel.

[@user-ds8it7nf8j]

Good motivation to know that I still have a chance once I retire from the Navy! And I took my daughter to fish a tournament with me when she was ten and she did great now hopefully I’ll get my son in some this coming year

[@CALIBASSKIDTV]

Great video Brian. I’m a huge fan and long time subscriber. I loved this video. My dream is to be a professional tournament Angler. I’m 35 years old and I’ve been fishing since I was 6 years old. I have the same amount of love for bass fishing as you. I get the same enjoyment out of it whether it’s small bass or big bass. And I’m at the point where I catch a lot of bass now with all the experience I have which makes fishing even more fun. I started a KZbin channel called CALIBASSKID TV to build a fan before I turn Professional. Keep up the videos I learn a lot from them.

[@chadwegotstogo9986]

I won a team tournament on Fork where you won a boat for an exact weight fish. I was 13. My partner, an older guy and supposed friend of my grandfather “at that time” took the new Nitro and ran.

Man I'll never forget when my grandpa aka dad first took me fishing I was around 6-7 and I didn't like the rod I was using so I traded with my grandpa for the rod he was using and as soon as we traded I hooked a 3-4 pound catfish and he didn't catch anything all day but now I'm 28 and he's gone but its something I will always remember and something I will always love doing thanks to him

[@luke8646]

Outstanding insight sir. I'm 34 myself and can completely relate to the $5 allowance. You address a lot of points that I agree with but with more appropriate language than l'd use ( I blame the Army lol). Age is just a number, live life and it does not matter how old you are. It's what you do and how you treat people that does.

[@ryanaderholt2062]

Hey B Lat.. I been bass fishing since i was 9 and really started getting into it seriously around 12.. I've been hooked ever since.. all my time is thinkn about fishing.. I use to go outside in the yard and practice throwing the old school abu round baitcasters in the yard teaching myself.. I started fishing bfls as a coangler when I was 14. Then when I got my own boat I started fishing local team tournaments and bfls when I was 21.. that's when I got my 1st real bass boat.. always did good and finished at the top of a lot of derby's.. I've always worked to pay my entry fees and equipment, rods, reels, tackle , gas for boat and truck. It's always been my dream to go pro but dont really have the financial backing.. what's some advice where I could find ways to help.. I know sponsors but u have to prove yourself.. really want to fish the costas and bass opens.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

17 now, live on a lake and looking to expand into some tourney fishing! Grown up fishing, and this truly helped a lot! :)

[@tlalexander3]

Hoping to get started tournament fishing in a few years once I get out of college. Currently saving up for a little nicer fiberglass boat. I suppose the 2000 175 bass tracker would do alright but I feel like the 40 hp and 43lb thrust trolling motor limits me a little. Anyway I can practice learning the lake at least with that boat right now and get a little nicer rig later on.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Trevor Alexander i wouldn’t wait on a equipment upgrade. It has nothing to do with nothing as far as tournaments go.

[@tlalexander3]

Awesome well I might have to try it soon then. I have all the tackle I could ever need such as rod, reels, bait etc. Hopefully I can get something going strong but don't know if I'll win many at the lake 5 minutes down the road from my house... Bryan Thrift and Matt Arey dominate it almost every time they fish our local tournament lol. Its every Tuesday or Thursday night.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Well said Lat. Just got to keep expanding the sport. I take grown ups all the time that have never been fishing before to just show them the ropes. Some are on my channel some are not. Just trying to introduce the sport to a wide audience. I challenge all you tubers and pro's to take some one that has never been. The bigger the sport the more opportunities that will unfold for all. We just got to keep introducing the sport.

[@mikefurness1598]

I'm glad you didn't pick an age for us old farts to start Tournament Fishing. I've been fishing all my life mostly in canoes and power boats of various sizes shapes Etc. Back around two thousand one or two I bought a kayak and started kayak fishing and then 3 years ago I started Tournament Fishing out of a kayak and in 2018 I went to the kbf NC the kayak Bass Fishing national if you will my first full year Wiz kbf. I didn't qualify last year for this year's National Championship but I did qualify for this year for the championship first weekend in April at Lake Guntersville. So I'm now approaching my 71st birthday and I plan on continuing Tournament Fishing on a national level as long as I can stand it! I love it it's a lot of fun. I'm not high in the rankings and very rarely earn money except this coming year I plan on doing very well now that I've got a couple of years of Tournament Fishing under my belt. I know this is a long response but I just thought I'd give you the Insight from a older perspective.
