[@jamesparis2629]

Just like always Bradley very awesome video the way you explain your advice and tips well there's just no one else on u tube that does like you setting the pace for everyone keepem coming by the way 2 weeks was to long without a video from you again awesome stuff

[@billreid4597]

Hey Bradley! lol thanks brother, really enjoy your way of sharing this great sport. I've been trying to pass it on to my grandsons 15 and 12 yrs. old, they are loving it and having some success as well. We fish the lower Susquehanna and Northeast rivers, your helping me bring em along for a lifetime of fun. BTW, we run a Ranger RT 198P aluminum and we love it. Thanks again

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Glad y’all are enjoying and thanks for the feedback.

[@Shawn_Lai]

Great content man! Really enjoy your style of video with the play by play

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks

[@teampezkbrones1235]

Awesome video Brad! Great Information. Thanks!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomrigsbee2212]

Thanks for the good insight..got me a new aluminum on order

Amen Brother

[@k-mparker]

Niiiice video!!! I use to have a glass boat, but you are exactomundo correctomundo on a “tin rig.” I got a tin rig now and was fishing in a creek off the James (Gunns Run) last year during a tourney and passed (got permission) 3 glass boats that were in there and went as far as I could go till I ran aground. Then, I trimmed up the motor, dropped the trolling motor, and started fishing and shortly after I got there the current started going out. I caught 17 fish in there, but had a 4 plus and two 3 pluses. The tin rig rules!!! Never going back to the glass boat.👍😃🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Totally 💯 seeing the value of tin!

[@brandone9507]

Bradley, Your videos are really good. Keep it up man, I'll be watching!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Appreciate it Ruyle

[@jerryjames6090]

Mr . Hallman I will suggest getting an Xpress boat!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Jerry for the pointer!

[@Ballin21]

Awesome video. I really like how you take the time out during the video footage and brake down what you’re doing and what you’re using. Great job, keep-up the good work! Hope you qualify for the Elites!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks 🙏 Ballin 🤑

[@ronalexander4955]

I can tell you how many tournaments I fished out of north sauty in gville where there was always a guy with a flat bottom and tiller handle motor weigh in 25-28lbs from the back of that creek.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

The old aluminum strikes again!

[@Reefsymmetry]

Good video Brad

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks bud!

[@coltsitton2802]

I definitely recommend a xpress! To my knowledge they are the only one that makes a 21 foot you can put a 250 on and still keep up with the other guys in a glass boat i’ve taken mine in some places you probably shouldn’t put a boat in

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I have ridden in friends that have them and they are great boats! Thanks for the feedback.

[@mattbell3362]

Great video. I like how you stop it to explain set ups and give information.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks for the feedback Matt.

[@JimGLopez67]

Good job bud thanks

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you 🙏

[@larrycorley2470]

Yeah can’t beat them ole tin boats on a river esp with all the advances with new ones I mean a 200 on a tin rig I mean come on let’s do this!! Great video glade to see your back on.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Larry! I’m with you. One of my boys has a 250 four stroke on a Tin boat and it’s a beast!!

[@larrycorley2470]

Bradley Hallman I bet it is

[@darenlewis3755]

Being from Oklahoma myself and fishing some of the river systems here is exactly why I bought an aluminum rig. Vexus 2080 with the 200 Merc pro is. Awesome boat. Thanks for the video and best of luck on the next open.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you and nice boat choice! 👍

[@Fastbreak27]

No matter what water I fish I’ll always rock an aluminum hull. Always

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I totally get it!!!!! Exactly why I made this video!

Hammer 🔨 Down! Appreciate the support!

[@FullCircleOutdoors]

The first couple times I fished that river I was in a tracker 195 tin rig. After selling it and getting a Z20 pro I'm scared to go back just for the fact that I dont wanna blast off a lower unit. I fished an xfl there one year and there was a BFL going on at the same time. Well on practice day I towed in a ranger that knocked his lower unit off. Scary place for sure.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

It can be intimidating to say the least. I would just like to be able to a access some of the places the fiberglass boats won’t go.

[@tonydanja4266]

Love the videos. Ordered my BFEs today, can't wait to try em out.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Your going to like them in the middle of the thick stuff!

[@gwoodru]

You're getting pretty good at this youtube stuff.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks man. It doesn’t feel like it most days. If y’all knew how long it takes me to edit a video.

[@tranzformedyouthtn]

Will you explain the benefit of flipping with your off hand or do you have video that does. I can do both but normally don’t.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Angles! It’s usually all about different angles for me. Some feel and probably so that it is more efficient to flip with the hand that the rod will stay in. You can do this different ways. Learn to flip left handed which is what most of us have done. I know some like Bobby Lane flip with left handed reels. I think it’s important to be proficient with both hands not only flipping but all kinds of casting! AKA the spinnerbait.

[@Crankinstien]

Dude where you been?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I been around..... where you been?

[@Leake8]

You been with ole Scott Martin. You can’t hide 😂 love the videos man

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks man! I’ll try harder to hide in the future.

[@Leake8]

Bradley Hallman no way I enjoy the Colabs. Learn a lot from you guys

[@DubH46]

The most important part of this entire event is that you put the smackdown on Castledine, and ol Upshaw too. Haha! Good video.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I can honestly say I did so poorly to my expectations that I haven’t thought about that much! We all need to do well to reach our team goals although we all understand that not everyone will get it done the first year! But we are going keep grinding!!!! You can take that to the Bank!

[@DubH46]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing I like watching all of you, and I definitely want to see you all succeed. You've surrounded yourself with good dudes, and each of you are hammers!

[@darrenadams8579]

Good luck ! Hope you get to the elites soon! I fish the Pendleton pool all the time on the Arkansas River, absolutely love it!

[@FullCircleOutdoors]

👍

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

👊

[@jasonmitchell5555]

After having time to think about the event. Outside of using a tin boat. Would you have done the same thing or went a totally different direction or technique?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Man I don’t know? It’s hard to say but I have come up with a new strategy that I want to try there that is really original and has potential but I have to go try it. Not an idea I will talk about until I’ve tried it a few times if you know what I mean. Probably won’t work but it’s a good idea.

[@jasonmitchell5555]

Bradley Hallman Totally understand. Gotta be some things that you just don’t share. That’s how you make a living. Why appreciate what you do share. Good Luck.

[@jasonmitchell5555]

We appreciate

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Absolutely thank y’all

[@juststatinfactssv4989]

You ever fish Detroit River and does this pertain to that, minus the locks?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

No absolutely not in anyway! That’s Smallmouth 101! Only thing in common is they eat next to the current.

[@juststatinfactssv4989]

Bradley Hallman I do love that the rivers largemouths are often overlooked.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Juststatinfacts SV They don’t play in derbies do they? To small?

[@juststatinfactssv4989]

Bradley Hallman also, looking forward to using the BFE!

[@juststatinfactssv4989]

Bradley Hallman when the lakes ruff they do. Had many 20+ lb bags of green ones. My PB 7.12 out of the River. I live in Trenton mi, so I know it pretty well

[@mattorschell275]

Building a Tin rig for the Ohio River. Also ordered some BFE’s hopefully to show em something different. Love the videos keep em coming.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

You Ohio River Guys know how to Grind! Interested in how the BFE does up on that system! Keep me in the loop please.

[@mattorschell275]

Bradley Hallman will do. Got a BFL in a couple weeks hoping to put them to work.

[@BassAmateur99]

Sweet video Brad . How about your young grass hopper Pangrac ! He didn't do so bad ..

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Panger is doing quite well which I have expected for awhile.

[@mikegardiner3934]

Hey Bradley! New sub, but been fan for few yrs. I live 10 min from Lanier, and I know you know it well. Lol. I sub to Andrew and Todd, but love your content. Great pointers on river fishing my friend! God bless!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thank you very much man! Appreciate the sub and following my boys. We all work hard at this sport and feedback like yours makes it worth it.

[@basspro009]

you talked about the fishing pressure being big on a river system. What is your thought about just the boat pressure with being so much shallow water?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

That’s definitely part of the issue as well. It’s everything combined on that river that just never sees many boats.

[@mikebrowning2431]

Great content, watch all the vids! Are they getting enough co-anglers? Love to try that!

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Mike I was told by the BASS office a week ago that they had openings in all events on the co side except Oneida.

[@mikebrowning2431]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing thanks!

[@bradfarren3049]

Does Phoenix make an aluminum boat? If not what brand and model set up are you looking into? Will it be jet drive? Thanks for the content. -Brad-

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

I will need to look at some of the tournaments rules out there and see what the requirements are. No Pheonix does not make an aluminum so not sure what I will get.

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Glad to see ya back an I love that stained water haha. I pitch around a rage bug Tennessee River bass like it, pretty well. Therefore I figured you would be pitching that jig you made.

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Yep! You should give it a try. They just released from Big Bite yesterday. It’s a good cricket.

[@kktx4058]

Great teaching video! Thanks for you insights! Is that an EWG hook you use with your new bait?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Thanks Keith, yes I use Hyabuasa 959 when flipping with fluorocarbon . It is an EWG style hook! I use straight shank hooks for flipping Braided lines.

[@oupacker]

That’s looks crazy coming out of the lock. 🤪

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

It really is a cool experience for everyone! Maybe that’s where you should ask your fishing buddy to go next time!

[@olebiker]

Were you in the lock with Pangrac? I noticed you use an EWG hook for flipping. Do you see any disadvantage to using the EWG over a straight shank hook?

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Yes Olebiker MattP was in the locks with me both days. I flip both....... strait shank when using braid and EWG with Floro! Hope this helps

[@olebiker]

@@BradleyHallmanFishing Thanks. I loved Matt's story about pulling his kill switch out when leaving the lock. That had to be scary.

[@Hmoob828]

I wanna see 1 V 1, Hallman vs. Panger lol

I think your going to get that coming soon! Maybe a one rod one bait derby!

Just spent 8hrs on a weed choked lake in NJ I put my 18 ft aluminum Ranger in got me 5th couldn't of did it in a fiber glass! Time to buy a bigger aluminum with at least 150 on back! To much pressure this fish ate getting to smart. Lol

Sometimes it's just not your day and seems like this tournament was one of them best of luck at the next one! Keep the videos up and challenge videos coming against a local high schooler?

Tell Phoenix to make and aluminum. I’ve heard rumblings of them making one tell em to make it happen I’d buy one 💯

Someone needs to call Clouse and get the ball rolling! I’m in the market for a 2nd boat.

Good video, though I would have liked to see more footage of practice and the tournament, even raw.

Very fair statement! I’m definitely a work in progress and appreciate all the feedback! Actually learn from you guys a ton! Thanks for your honesty

[@alecbarrett395]

Bird Gang!!!

[@genelemon2698]

I enjoy your videos but I must admit this one left me a little hungry. One thing I've noticed about your tournament fishing is you seem to ignore that little voice in your head during the event. That voice has a name. It's name is EXPERIENCE. You after the fact do a great job breaking down the event. Now you need to take that same breakdown and do it while the event is happening. Your post critique is spot on, just a little to late. Next tournament remember that guy who's always in the boat with you, Past Experience and listen closely to what he has to say and react accordingly. Good luck.

[@gregc2621]

Haha...this guy

[@BradleyHallmanFishing]

Truly believe you are correct with some of my past tournaments that I have shared with KZbin. Experience I have. Listening to your instincts before and during an event is tough! The ones that do it successfully day in and out are the KVD’s of our sport! I appreciate your honesty and support. 🙏

[@crowejr77]

Really enjoyed the breakdown of your tournament, it's very informative and helpful. Get em on the next one, I'll be watching. Thanks
