Where Is The Fishing Industry Going?? (Travel Vlog Q&A)

[@seandeswilliams7516]

I am a sophomore 16 years old and I attend CE Byrd High School I love bass fishing and fishing in general. I want to join the bass fishing team but my mom won't let me join because there are no black kids on the team. This is all the more reason I want to join I would love to be a professional fisherman like you. Fishing is the reason I would ever consider going to college I don't know what to do because I'm willing to commit I just currently don't know how to convince my mom. We just got a boat because of how much I love fishing and I do not want to seem ungrateful but this is my dream I don't have any gear but I am willing to work. You are a big inspiration for who I want to grow up to be as a person. AND THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS!!!!!

[@zeppelin1n4]

Send it!!!

[@db9818]

Join the team if you have the chance. If you don’t you’ll always wonder what could’ve been, and when you join there will be a black kid on the team😉

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Don’t have that regret later on in live bro! Go all in and chase that dream u got! I’m sure your mom will be ur #1 supporter

[@seandeswilliams7516]

​@@seandeswilliams7516remember to honor your mom brother.. God will take care of the rest.. looking forward to seeing you on tour someday buddy!!

[@derrickhouse7063]

Keep up the good work Colin. Just know you are appreciated.

[@heathwallace7782]

Your attitude is always on point man I love it. I watch this junk at work on the road and before bed…what a time to be alive if you love bass fishing. My old lady makes fun of me for watching fishing videos after fishing all day…😂

[@ericneedham3136]

Glad to see you at the Classic! I hope you give that glide I gave ya a chance! One of the most down to earth professional fisherman I have met! -Versatile Baits 🤜🤛

[@stevekuney2541]

It was great to meet you today Mark !!

[@CajunRobFishing]

Great video Mark! Electric Blue Chartreuse Keitechs are the hot local color there 👍

[@shawnhebert8104]

Class Act I appreciate all you guys. I watch all yalls videos.

[@cross_fire_]

I got to meet you at redcrest, you signed my son’s hat. He’s had it on since the tournament! He’s sitting here watching this video with me! Good luck brother!

[@ronaldbryant8457]

I drive a truck all over the US and you are right about the ATL......but Dallas/Ft Worth is just as bad.....no matter the time of day, TRAFFIC!!

[@kevinross9852]

I enjoy watching you and the guys on KZbin I can't wait to see you guys Saturday and Sunday at Dale hollow

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

Well I appreciate your work and Collin. You guys make the day better when a video drops.

[@albertsmith792]

Just started watching your vids, and good job. I just wanted to say I am a Florida boy and have been fishing for 40 years. That being said, I could not imagine if I could not fish the way I want to fish in a tournament(flipping, frogging, swim jigging, etc.) because I thought I couldn't compete with the offshore fishing. I genuinely feel bad for a lot of you professional fisherman who are being forced to adapt to this not so new technique that is taking over. Once again thanks for the content. Your vids are entertaining and give me something to watch, being that I don't watch tournament fishing anymore. God bless, and good luck to you.

[@kewlboss]

Recently started following, really enjoy your vids. I been going back watching all the old vids as well. Great channel Mark!

[@MichaelSypolt]

That was amazing hearing that about New York man, I’m from central NY (Poland) and my boss owns 1000 islands marina between Clayton and cape Vincent and that river is a very special place for giant smallies love watching you Adrian, DC, and JW’s throughout the season best of luck!!

[@thepathoftheemissary]

Awesome job....Excellent video Thanks for shouting out North Carolina..

[@chrisg2619]

That song would be final countdown by Europe good luck man and tightlines.

[@dipster14]

Love the content win, lose, good, or bad. The laughs and the squad is what really makes these videos. Here me out Mark.. You, DC, Jacob, and Adrian should make a fishing lure brand of y'all own. I KNOW Y'ALL CAN MAKE A KILLER LURE SELECTION AND MAKE MONEY

[@RodWynnFishing]

Great content as always! Also love how no matter where you been and how long you been gone from Cali, you still one of dem ones .. ✊🏾

[@tavaris8466]

Your right on about Upstate NY we got em up here I miss ya at Seneca lake last year wanted to say what’s up seen your boat flying around out there, I did get to meet DC and made his vlog tho so it’s all good 👍🏾 keep reeling them in Big Dawg your time is coming

[@brandonfurlow4486]

Love the videos MDJ! Keep them coming! Good info, and I really enjoy the rate the bait segments.

[@ErnestLangley-rr6cp]

[@christianhurtado6095]

MDJ was out control! This is why we watch we love you no matter what up Downs we don’t care we just want to see and be a little part of your life.

[@crankintanks2092]

Great video they like the spark shad down there for sure

[@isaacpolley2728]

You should roll up with a 55” tv strapped to the front of your boat. 😂

[@kylevodden19]

The technology doesn’t care. Work harder and get better. Good job mDj awesome video good opinions

[@dowey88]

enjoy the travel videos keep them coming

[@motorcycleislife8296]

Those keitech swimbaits were killer last year, now they are done for lol

[@DBCOOPER79]

i have an idea for your rate the bait show, how about yall do a favorite and least favorite knot and the types of fishing line yall like to use and not use with them. your positivity is awesome i love watching your videos and listening to you talk about fishing.

[@db9818]

I believe they did the knot one a while back

[@emptytombprod]

​@@db9818as well as the line... they're running out of options lol 😆

[@michaelcox-iw3zy]

Hope you get the win this week!

[@AnglinwithInglis]

Go get em Mark !

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

It was good talking with you again in the cafe before you flew out on day 3 at the classic.

[@chasesimmons6451]

I love all the boys, but MDJ is the best personality and fits this raw-style “vlogging” the best.

[@anthonymartin548]

Thanks MDJ!!! Good stuff 👍🏽🫡

[@justincausey5196]

Keep pumping them out Colin!!

[@FinesseFishing28]

Great video bruh! Yeah man I’m in upstate new York and the fishing is amazing

[@silverback5150]

Good catching up@ the classic

[@coachh2138]

YES SIR!!! On those peanut butter M&M's. Keep up the good work

[@isobozo]

Peanut butter M&M are fire, but I'll have to grab the pineapple over cantaloupe. I grew up fishing Jordan lake in NC. Now I bounce between Guntersville, Wheeler, and Tims Ford.

[@FishingJN_7]

MDJ is by far one of the coolest professional anglers on and off the water.

[@tranzformedyouthtn]

Chattanooga traffic is bad as well. A friend of mine calls it the devil’s elbow lol. Good luck.

[@michaelbailey91]

MDJ, I will be watching you on live and praying that you will make it to the championship round. 🙏🎣🦆

[@jesustorrez4520]

Keep up the great work

[@kingallen916]

Haha, BPS does a good job keeping baits in stock. That is, until MDJ goes in and clears out entires pegs!! I do the same thing if I find some juice baits. Good luck on tour Mark, pulling for you from Cali

[@andreaseichmann-qu5zx]

My guy i love the battleship, gotta hit those boys with them Left Coast big guns!!! Haha. Love the content as always n keep movin forward bud, only option we got!

[@AdamCansler]

Are y’all going to do the flip cup challenge this season? Love it so funny. Fish on🎣

[@JeffreyLee63]

We love ya Mark!!

[@robertbarnett822]

Enjoyed the Vlog

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

My mom used to love bank fishing lol she never wanted to go in the boat but she loved it now she's in Heaven Amen . If I had to ask you a question I would ask what is your favorite Lake to fish Mark tournament style

[@brandonshell2512]

I live near and fish watts bar all of the time. July til October super tough. The bass are everywhere and Nowhere at the same time. Certainly don't group up like they do on chickamauga. If you find a 20 fish school, you've hit the jackpot.

[@Bnicebassfish]

There’s 3 things I route for. Tiger, the Lakers and MDJ. Hoping one of those things can get me a chip this year. Let’s go MDJ hold it down for the bay!

[@travishanson5512]

Nothing better than going tackle shopping. LOL

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

FFS is the life now and I honestly like it can't afford it but I like it so keep it coming DC and JDub has proven it good luck on tourney

[@thequestforbigguns2008]

Bro I came down to see you guys on the "holler" fri. And missed you. You bounced with the quickness. I had some road snacks for you. Brett Is supposed to give them to you hate you didn't make the cut.

[@dprob1985]

Mark even hints to the fact ffs isnt ideal. Much respect to a fisherman who loves real fishing at heart. He even apologizes when he has to go ffs. Luh ya mark.

[@williamdeel377]

Dale hollow is amazing me I love the jig on Dale

[@tulsabassprofessor5009]

Bro I work at BPS and that peg is empty 😂. Back stock is definitely going to be needed soon! Great video again bro thanks for sharing

[@patrickpatterson8565]

Oneida lake in ny is another Great Lake that I love to fish all the time

[@MooreFreshFishing]

Mark is legit Hilarious!!!😂 Jokes for days….

[@jeremykey4563]

Surprised you didn’t call out Beaver Lake in Rogers, AR as least favorite though technically it was FLW that always went. It’s got a rap as being a finicky lake. I’ve been there and I loved it. Didn’t catch massive weight but the scenery is gorgeous and coming from Florida, catching spots on topwater in 100’ of water was wild to me.

[@emptytombprod]

20:26 is that Mike Tyson trying to say "Land Cruiser" 🤔😂😅

[@sammo8556]

👊🏾Great content. Shout out camera crew.

[@patrickhill631]

MDJ!!! BRO.... Keitech 3.3 sexy shad. They were hitting so much I had to tap out.

[@L9201Thomas]

The need to make an on the road mold you can just put clear coats of silicone to make the swim baits last longer

[@publicEnima]

dang, same some bait for the rest of us!

[@dgroves85]

I appreciate BPS. We have Cabelas where I live. But my biggest complaint on BPS is that they never have the regional colors. Obviously some colors ie green pumpkin electric shad etc are pretty available everywhere. But there’s always been those local favorites that you just can’t find at BPS. Still appreciate them.

[@samstevens4858]

Shout out, Moms

[@prestonmire5509]

Awesome video

[@VitaminDeeTV]

Im not a huge fan of the travel vlogs, but the fooling around and jokes make it a banger video sometimes. We come here to watch y'all catch them belly shirts, but y'all boys be cutting up! haha Give em H-E- Double hockey sticks down in the Holler! lol

[@Max-hz9vu]

7 ducers 😂 😂 I feel you bro just put on my boat and used for the first time yesterday and watching them suckers follow your bait had me super excited even though I couldn’t get them to bite yet but I will long live scoping

[@chrischrist7982]

Chris zal freeloader or 6th sense hangover swim baits! What's your choice ? Forward facing still sucks!

[@mdub1230]

Those Peanut butter M&M Smack! 😂

[@youngchristopher14]

Preach!

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

I would like to meet you one day and tell you my Bill lewis RatLTrap story. Buggs Island Kerr Lake camping as a kid. 13 bass from the bank caught off of 1 submerged rock. Chrome with blue back standard out the box. Using 12 pound test big game at the time. Great video MDJ! #RippinLipsInc

[@StephenSmith-n3v]

You’ve got the best cameraman in the entire industry

[@DetroitFishigan]

No lie, I thought at the beginning of the video he was talking about haters 😂... Then right after we get the wiggler 😂💀. let's go, nothing but good vibes from my guy MDJ all the time I tune in 💯. Man I wished you have done better in Dale Hollow 😔. You tha man MDJ, I know you gonna bounce right back big dawg😎👊🏼

[@shawnsutton2648]

Not hating on ffs bc its fun but when it comes to every fish counts, its a must, IMO. Lets get it MDJ

[@Mjones8383]

2.8 on a megabass okishira screwhead is phenomenal

[@Mjones8383]

Its literally the final count-down😂

[@bill-qv3er]

The song is Final Countdown by the group Asia !!

[@ufcguruofficial]

MDJ the story about moms was awesome ..Would you ever fish the US open?

[@secure152]

My man said I am everywhere like the Air!!!! 😆😆😆

[@justinmerritt388]

Question: What level of tournament bass fishing has the greatest level of competition? The pro tours, The Regional events like Toyota series, or weekender series like the BFL

[@Bass_AF817]

Shout out Colin

[@kevinjones7395]

I subscribe to the whole house. DC Jdub, AA. I would love to see you do something with a couple of other guys. You and BLat sould do something together. It could be just hanging out fishing, or talk about the obstacles you've each faced along the way. The other is a young man from your area, Larry Melton. He does yt fishing videos, now mostly in a kayak. I know he's in AL.

[@karstonmiller3989]

my guy hit that dance 🤣

[@jasonmausteller2488]

Looks like Jacob is spending those tournament winnings.

[@davidbaker1359]

Saw Bill Dance today, I use to live next to Bill he’s a good friend on mine.

[@davidblake5199]

A town is getting worse and worse in traffic we’re number five last 20 years. You have to move 50 miles north lol Mark you should travel down past Macon and catch a 10 pound bass with me let’s go.

[@thatfishingguy11b]

Me watching this from Atlanta 😮 me know he right 😂😂😂

[@youknoit1980]

Make what watch is that bro that thing is fresh … I know you’re going to win bro keep grinding on that ffs you a straight up great guy I hope you kill it

[@lancepoore3045]

Whatchu talkin bout? Those PB M&M's are a freakin super food!

[@floridabassedition9345]

Drive around stare at your screen until you see a fish and cast at it. Easy money buying my screens and 8 transducers now. 😂

[@TS1023TS]

Can you still see smallmouth that are on the bottom a lot on live scope?

[@fadethenoise9704]

What color Kietech were you gunning for? 🤔 Got a ton of the 3.8. Going to stock up on 2.8.

[@Nicktaylorfishing]

would you rather do the biggest 5? or keep doin wat yall doin.. think i like seeing the biggest 5 at weigh in

[@justinbean6019]

Stay on Dale hollow a week around this time every year. 1/4oz ball head and a 3.3 is harrrrd to beat.

[@rgiles29]

Since you like eating good food. Try Drake's BBQ. Greenwood MS

[@PanhandleKid]

They did have em 😂

[@1800Clips]

Shout out collin

[@garysanderford1572]

Chowan River will be Marks first win It just fits his fishing style.

[@rogerglasco5941]

Question. Now that you are running a Z521R does it porpose at low rpms like 3000 or 3500rpms. My wife and I are interested in ordering one but she doesn't like high speeds. She likes to drive slow and just cruise and look around. I don't want it to bounce around. We don't fish tournaments and have light gear. We are both thin so to speak. So overall, it is light weight in the boat. What do you think. Now I know you usually run the Z520R and it is faster. However, this year your in that 521R. Need your opinion bro.
