I'm going to be at work tommrow thinking about where I'm going to fish on days off and what awaits me. I would do anything to fish for a living I make my way to water every chance I get it never gets old what is waiting under those weeds or what's hanging out by that sunken tree may be a dink may be a toad may be a OMFG GREAT FISH ON HE'S BURNING LINE!!! Only thing that seconds my passion for bass fishing is my love of guns.

Mean Bass Baits - 5 years ago

That is an awesome explanation of how I believe most fisherman feel. We just leave it all on the bank and feel at home and peace with a fishing rod in our hand. That is exactly why I do what I do as well and why I love fishing, capturing video footage, updating my own channel, and even building some of my own baits. It gives me such satisfaction and peace.

SmokinNate - 6 years ago

This video makes me want to get out on the lake and pop a mondo right in the kisser. Love the video. I’ve see you before in other videos subscribed because of this one. I’m getting a kayak soon. Bank fishing just isn’t doing it for me anymore.

Fish Finder - 6 years ago

Anyone know if you can fish a Kayak tournament with a canoe. Duno' just thinking out loud. BTW amazing video thx!

Gino Quizon - 6 years ago

John James - 6 years ago

I couldn't explain the feeling and passion any better brother. This is true inspiration. Thank you.

Chad Hoover - 6 years ago

+LipRippinKayakFishin thanks brother!

Bruce Glassford - 6 years ago

Best explanation ever

FLORIDA BACKYARD FISHING - 6 years ago

Very cinematic piece...

Kenny Gabriel - 6 years ago

I haven't been a lifelong fisherman but since my teens (now 38) I've been hooked (see what I did there :))
I live in Toronto, Canada and we head up to Hartley Bay, French River Ontario 2-3 times a year to do some back country camping and fishing with my old man. I highly recommend it great bass fishing and monster pike/muskie.

Waking up on an island and seeing the fog lifting from the water and that amazing morning smell. Then the first cast... you break the water and a set of ripples around your lure, then the anticipation of that strike… nothing can compare.

KBF keep up the great work and excellent video's you get me through the day at work, I bought my first fishing Kayak this winter (Catch 120 NXT… working my way up to one of your Kayaks) all because of your videos now I need to pick up a KBF sticker!

OC Outdoors - 6 years ago

Whats the name of the song that is being played at the end? Thank you.

Jon Morgan - 7 years ago

I'm Sorry,but I just have to say Something.. If You don't get Sentimental,Pumped Up,or Simply just put in a Good Mood just about being on the Water or Jacking the Jaws on a Big Fat Bass than I'm Very Sorry if I Offend You,but in My Humble Opinion there's Something Seriously Wrong with You & You need to be put Somewhere... I Agree,I couldn't Imagine a Life without Fishing.. Fishing from a Kayak has Opened My Eyes to so Many Things.. I Own a Boat & STILL would rather Fish from a Kayak. Keep Up the Great Work Chad

Joe Marshall - 7 years ago

Steelhead Ranger - 7 years ago

Great video. From now on, when a non-kayak anger or non-fisher asks me why, I'll send a link to this to them. Ignore the haters, there are a few in any large group and you have a large following which shows you are doing it right.
Question: what mp-hour battery do you use to power that "ginormous" sonar?

Go Fish - 5 years ago

Great promo, man. Production and overall quality of the video is top notch. You've got some more complicated shots going on in my opinion. You got a small team to help? Can't get over the quality. Music was spot on in the beginning with your story. Gripped with emotion.

Chad Williams - 7 years ago

great video!!!!!hey brother,I just watched Ike Live,man I was super pysched to see you on there man!!I hope Ike fishes with you.people.will never really know until they see you pull up in that Tackle Box on 4 wheels,and see you look at the water.and pull out some lure I WOULD NEVER GUESS TO USE ON MY OWN WATER and start slamming them,I imagine you and ol Ike could empty out any small lake in 8 hours together.but,with all that said,with Ike in the Roto-Molded poly,lets get KVD or A Mart on board,I mean really on board like Ike.if anyone can do it you can.

Josh Eloe - 7 years ago

You pretty much just summed up my life. GREAT vid man. Love your vids. YOU are the reason I fish from a kayak.
