 How's it going guys know if I'm kicking their ass TV here with another video and Pretty much a lot of you guys have been asking how have I got in the fishing like how do I start fishing? How did it all start how long have you been fishing? Guys really I haven't been fishing that long if I could put a number on it. I would say this is starting my fourth year Third year tournament fishing fourth year overall fishing If you guys don't know my dad is allergic to fish. He can't touch him They can't splash on them none of that. I mean if it splashes on him He's gonna break out if it splashes on his face. He's I mean in the emergency room or he's dead It's that deadly. It's just a slime on the fish. He can't touch them. So Um, how did I start fishing guys? Like I said, my dad was allergic to fish. He wasn't ever in the fishing um So We never really fished When I was a little I did fish off the dock when we had a big boat um fishing for Brandon stuff So fish like that and then my grandpa. He was really in the fishing Not like competitive fishing honestly like warm on the bobber throw out there catch a fish Like a catfish like stuff like that. Just just on basic fishing here not like bass fishing or competitive fishing in any way so what happened is The started off is me and him started fishing ponds. Um, or honestly wasn't even before there's before that We started fishing this little catfish like it was like a private lake and you could pay it was like a pay lake and You could pay and catch catfish and stuff like that It's pretty cool. So we would just use like night crawlers and then go catch catfish and we did that for probably about a year So we did that for about a year started fishing for bass, you know, I wanted to catch a bass I told them that so you start going to ponds we start fishing ponds We're fishing with worms still we're fishing away warming a bobber just casting out through bring like five poles Cast out there you catch fish Just have a really good time, you know And then one day like I said always fished off the dock at that time. I was in the bass fishing You know, I was wanting to catch a bass. So we're fishing off the dock at Lakeland You're I was my parents were probably in the boat And then the people next to us that had a big boat their son came pulling Came up to the boat the boat dock and he actually had a bass boat and I saw that thing man I was I was looking into that thing. I mean it was awesome, you know I saw that but I was like man that thing's awesome, you know, I believe I had a rap on it I really can't remember it's been so long In my opinion it's been a long time but I was always I was eyeballing the boat and the guy offered he talked to my daddy was like Do you mind if I take him around the dock here in the marina? my dad was like, yeah, sure and so By that time about 30 minutes later I was already running the trolling motor have a little push button real just casting a little shaky head on the shore I'm never caught a fish. I didn't get some bites. I honestly think it was like now that I think about it I think it was just like right in biting at the end of the worm So we're like fishing by the docks and stuff But after that man, I was hooked so I talked to my dad. I was like, man, I really want fish on the bass fish You know, he probably thought what what the heck's going on, you know, we always had a big boat But what happened is we ended up getting a little bass tracker man a little tiny bass tracker I want to say like 16 17 foot Little little metal, but you know out of no drawing have like 90 horse maybe 50 horse. I really can't remember it's been so long So we got that boat We were in around Lake Lanier and if any of you guys have been on Lake Lanier You guys know it's just not the best place to be on the weekends boat traffic. No, it's just not working So that did not last long that probably lasted about I Would say three months. So that bill last about three months. We ended up selling it and we moved to an 18 foot nitro. So we had a little nitro and Man, we just got our butts kicked. We got our butts kicked hard. We gosh. It was bad. We were Just as big old cruisers and big old house boots and stuff Just knocking waves over the front of the it was ridiculous, you know It was just really bad that that wasn't gonna cut it I believe we got a 150 horse on it and the boat was just so small and then if my mom wanted to come It was just work. Well, my dad's a big guy. It just wasn't working out Really just getting the crappy job. So then we started looking into more boats We probably had that boat for half a year Start looking into more boats and then we finally looked at a ranger, you know We heard a lot of good things about it about Talk to some people got some information. So we're like, yeah, let's go test our ranger. So we test for your ranger and Ended up getting it guys. We got a ranger. It was 2008 Really really great, but we love that boat There was nothing wrong with the boat. It was really great, but only thing only thing I will I will say one thing that was bad about it was the oil just having to put oil in the motor Just horrible. It will burn a hole in your pocket in no time. Not even that just Just putting gas in the boat in general It was a yamaha, but now I have the yamaha show and it doesn't take Oil so it's so much better on price and the gas is amazing on it But man, we love that boat and then I really started getting the fishing guys I really started to push and that's about the time When I started fishing tournaments once we got that boat. So sorry fishing tournaments. This is my third year fishing tournaments So started fishing tournaments starting to get in that type of deal stuff and We really love that boat started to get my name out there Ended up. I believe my first like official big sponsor was St. Croix I've been with them for a while started to get sponsors really started to get my name out there Really started to be good on them on the videos and tournaments really Got a good head start on it guys. I really really bust it off just from the beginning Really really hard man pushing my all Confidence level was through the roof, you know, just really really believing in myself really loving fishing really loving the passion I'm fishing and my dad got to really loving it because we were going on the lake so much So he started loving fishing and just all started to go together, you know And then we ended up getting an offer to be on the ranger pro staff. So If any of you guys ever got the opportunity No, it's a no brainer you you have to do it. It's it's such That's the best thing that can happen be honest one of the best things that can happen beyond ranger pro staff or any boat pro staff in general Because in a couple years, I'll be swapping out boats No cost would be amazing So what happened with that is we ended up having to get a new boat We really like that boat guys. There was nothing wrong with it. We really wanted to keep it to be honest There was nothing wrong with it. We love the boat, but to be on the ranger pro stuff We did have to buy a new boat. So we ended up getting our new ranger that we have now which we love It has a shill in the back of it and it really saved us a lot of money on the Oil and gas and everything and that it's really saved a lot of money. I remember going on a time for nationals Not having that boat and we literally brought like eight Freaking gallons of like eight eight of those tubs of oil is ridiculous. Just money down the drain Like 40 bucks a freaking ball. It's ridiculous. Um But then we moved to this boat guys started fishing a bunch of tournaments and now I'm here where I'm at now And just so just my name's got out there so much guys. I'm so thankful for it It's just really crazy How far I've gotten and how much I've learned it's really ridiculous guys And when I go back to think about it, it's like I only know how it's possible, you know Like how how can I get that far that quick? And I'm not saying that to be like cocky or anything I'm saying that because it's really it just really blows my mind To see how far I've got, you know, I mean if I look back Four years ago, I was just a little chubby fat kid, man. I'm not gonna lie I can't even look at myself in pictures It's ridiculous It's crazy how far I can It's awesome. And now I'm sitting up here Freaking talking to my guy Cannelly and Brandon at tournaments like I'm Good buddies with them and it's freaking awesome Um Rigid industries, man. They've treated me so well synchro rods um Pure fishing Berkeley Abu Garcia Under armor gosh, man. I mean they Got some new shoes on from him right now It's amazing guys. How far I've came I can't I can't thank you guys enough and I can't thank my parents and my family enough And especially my sponsors. It's just everything's everything's finally coming together for me And I just got a truck yesterday um It's crazy Beyond belief of how far I came I'll have to definitely make a video of some like old footage of when I first started fishing And like lead it up to now or kind of like fading like videos of how how much better my videos videos have gotten And I'm finally like full committed onto this guys I've been working really hard on the social media The bait page and the kick of the bass tv gear and everything is finally up and running.
