Great video! Pet peeve for fans of Flukemaster. I wish there was a tournament series for "Real" kayak fishing... which means carrying your boat and all your gear 100 yards through the woods to the water's edge. In addition to my kayak I also frequently fish from my Crestliner 22ft sportfish equipped with a 200hp Verado. I love doing both but they are worlds apart when it comes to the experience.

It was great meeting you at the dock that was a nice smallmouth

Congrats Brotha !!! You deserve it!

Gene Gene Gene, we want number 1, congrats and great job !

It's cool watching you in tourney mode.

Right around the 5:00 mark, I had one flop that would have won me big bass in my last tournament over the weekend. It hurts but all you can do is keep fishing! Nice work flukemaster!

My home lake! Just started the vid, It can be a tough lake so I’m anxious to see how it goes lol

Congrats on 2nd, good luck for the next day

Great job getting her done buddy God bless be safe keep fishing

I know this can’t be easy to focus on the task at hand and film. That being said it was super enjoyable to have a front row seat to one of your tourney days. Great job!

Those are pretty cool tournament rules, as long as people follow the honor system.

Awesome! This is my home lake! Lots of big fish in there but the water levels rise and fall so quickly it can be hard to locate them.lake is 250ft deep in some places.

Way to go man, you’re on a little hot streak, keep the momentum. Are you still considering the P127? Or will you stay with the SS?

Man it's so dang hard to catch bass this time of year with all the pressure and post spawn blues, bite is starting to get better in June....

2nd place in the tourney 1st place in our hearts!

Anyone know where I can pick up one of those rod tubes on Flukes trailer?

My man's equipped quick draw, and finessed that landing 4:20

gr3eat job

Just maybe a video on casting accuracy . Best Regards Johnnie M.

Its really cool to see someone in my home state catching big bass. I just recently got a kayak, not a great one haha but it's something to get on the water with. Do you have any lake/Creek/River recommendations for central Kentucky? Mainly, for a beginner kayaker in a really crappy kayak? Congratulations on a great first day and your podium!

@Flukemaster

Honestly that's the first lake in KY that I've fished other than Kentucky Lake.

hey gene, where can we find the old videos with RYAN??

Just curious. Why exactly did you have to bank fish for that fish ? Why could you not actually fish from your kayak for that fish ?

How many hundred hours did it take to be able to skip that fluke on a BAITCASTER? Very nice!!

How warm was it that day sir?

Let’s go

I am confused by the last fish. I thought you had to be tethered to your kayak to make it a legal fish catch? That looked like quite a distance away from the kayak.. Just a question is all.

You should make a trip out to Southern California and fish the KBF pro series out here.

That whole getting out your kayak rule sounds dumb. If it's a kayak fishing tournament why is there a rule for you to catch a fish out of the kayak just to get back in it and take a photo? Theoretically someone could win the tournament just bank fishing.

I prefer not to utilize it, but in a tournament last fall, my pedal drive broke in some very windy and treacherous conditions. I was able to beach my kayak off a wind blown point and catch 3 more fish from the bank to fill out a limit for a top ten finish. I think if you blatantly bank fish the entire day it would be legal but you’d get bashed. In this case and mine, Gene took advantage of a situational opportunity and capitalized.

When I say I'm good a breaking things I'm being honest. I break rods and gear a lot. Product testing and development is one of my favorite things about working with my sponsors.

So the female you caught on her bed and had to take it back to your kayak for the measurement, I seen you let her go at your kayak; will she swim back to her bed from that distance or find a new place to make a bed?
