Are you the guy that is the a hole

“That’s 4, better pick it up” nothing better then that right there! 🤣 good job bro. I thought you handled it well.

“Better pick it up”😂

There’s nothing sweeter than catching one right in front of a tool while he’s mid-tool.

Haha mid tool!

The cream always rises to the top. He's not going to beat you at your game. Great video! You handled yourself very well.

I like Nolan's narration. And I LOVE that there are no special effects and no music. It's a fishing video done by a fine angler.

It's a competition. It's not over till it's over.

Your a class act and instinctively great fisherman for your age, unfortunately you’ll have to deal with situations like this off and on over the years. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is how we represent ourselves and other fellow sportsman, best of luck in your future tournaments.

Handled well, great job representing kayak anglers doing things right 👊

I subbed because of your comment to this guy, "That's four! Better catch up!" You're absolutely right about that etiquette.

Brother, I just found your channel a couple days ago. You're a total class act the way you handled that. Better than a lot of us older guys would have probably. Kudos to you and karma is something isn't it?

Friends with your dad, and took you and your brother bird hunting when yall were little. So proud to see you doing well and love your videos. Keep it up and way to serve that tool central va style. 🤣🤟

Great way of handling situation! Thank you for showing us how it’s suppose to be done in that situation!

Thanks for showing this, its a great learning opportunity for new and inexperienced tournament anglers like me. 👍🏽

If that was his best stretch he should've gotten there quickly rather than waiting

You seem to be a pretty good guy. Some people are just not about being kind or understanding others. Don't change who you are and keep the lines tight brother.

I dig this and like how composed you kept yourself. Good stuff bud. Subbed.

You handled that situation right. That dude was just salty because he was out of it.

Enjoying the videos keep it up! Also, you handled the situation in a calm manner

Nice work… hard to keep poachers away sometimes.

Hopefully the Tournament directors see this. So many reasons to have the GoPro running. Glad you turned it on. Welp, it's game on now for the Internet. I've already put the pieces together, and discovered him... I would've told him to swallow it.

Well done, I think in all my years of money fishing and pleasure fishing I could count on one hand the times I had conflict with other fishermen. You gave way and handled it well young man, it’s better to give than receive and giving that guy a guilt complex was called for😎😎💯

Don’t bass fish, but I know where you are coming from. In our catfish tournaments lately I’ve had guys circle my anchored boat and side scan everything that we have set up on. When people know your on fish some can’t help but join in . Really enjoyed your video, good luck in the future.

Nolan first time subscriber loved watching this video, first time ever seeing a situation go on like this, and wow. His defensive attitude towards you was unacceptable telling another fisherman to blank, when we start the tournament with the national anthem and then a prayer. You were never in the wrong with this, but unfortunately it took place. Were suppose to be having fun and there for each other even in heated competition against each other. Thanks for sharing take care God bless!

Don't be telling him it was your best stretch lol

Just seeing this video but regardless, you handled this better than 90% of anglers. You got the finish you deserved. So did Mr. Crabby Pants. Hope be learned something there

Story tells it … the “I hope you blank” guy is still trying to catch his 3rd fish .

Yes Todd is my hero Lol!! Glad you did this video! Everyone should film the bully and post it. Ppl need to be held responsible.

Looks like that guy is using you as his fish finder 😅 what a dork 77th!

I was kayak fishing Piscataway creek one spring and pulled a nice 4.5lber off of a point. A bass boat with in an easy lob of a cast from me shouted at me asking if they could fish the spot. Heck No! was my response. Thankfully I had my GoPro on and posted it on my channel. It's ridiculous what people will do and say for a lousy fish.

It's a shame people have to be like this. You handled it well. Congrats on your Susky win today, it was tough sledding out there...well for me anyway.

Some people cant admit defeat! If you got a chance for $ ! And i dont < Would definitely give you the area

Hey from Lake Monticello. Just found your site thru SB's You Tube. Looks like I have a ton of your vids to catch up on. Go WV!!

My man needed 128” to get a check and 138” to get a Top 10 and he was acting like that

Thanx for your content, you are right!!

Tough situation really, you had a chance to finish strong, with the fields as big as they are points are at a premium, if he’s chasing points 1st to the spot gets it

Welcome to Bass fishing since the pandemic. This is almost a daily occurrence on our legs here there's a lot of new anglers on the water that don't know how to act. And there's a lot of old hats that are getting fed up with it that are starting to act bad to as a defense mechanism

Great content and composurr man!! Sucks when people are jerks about the etiquette

Don’t worry about him. Never let someone who is obviously confused about their chances get to you when they want to claim fishing waters. You did the right thing. If he was enough of a stick to clean that spot out, he would probably be in better standing than 71st anyway. Good job, hammer! Although, even though you were irritated, no need for the comment to him on the fourth fish. That could have easily escalated a cooling situation.

“That’s 4 better pick it up” 😂😂😂

Dude is a BULLY and I love when they try to bully me. They don't expect the small guy to stick up for himself, and in the end everytime the bully has actually been a coward. Im talking about guys just like him, he was agressive from the jump. He should of went somewhere else as soon as he saw you but instead he comes and tries to start conflict, acting like you started throwing a chatterbait bc of what he was throwing the day before. The best part of this is you catch one right in his face while he is trying to be a big balled bully...lol So Great!

Dude was a complete DB!! Love the videos and voice overs. Can you practice in a boat or do you have to use the kayak?

We gotta practice from the kayak for the Hobie BOS events

I'm 62 years old and I am a bank fisherman. Fishing from shore is particularly hard because a lot of lakes have limited shore accessibility. I was taught by my mentor to give your fellow shore angler 40 to 50 yards on a fan cast or half moon from where you are standing. Today that does not exist any longer. People will get right next to you; and I mean right next to you like 10 feet. I'm not talking little kids or people that are unfamiliar with fishing. I'm talking experienced bass anglers. There's no more fishing etiquette any longer.

I’ve been fishing on piers and had people literally run up bumping shoulders with me and cast exactly where I cast, trying to catch fish. They got nada. I left with a 150qt cooler stuffed! That guy was a kid in his early 20’s maybe. The next guy did the same and he had to be in his late 50’s to early 60’s. They had the entire Atlantic Ocean and they weren’t happy unless our shoulders were touching. He didn’t catch anything either but I continued to catch fish. Had the same thing happen multiple times on trout streams.

My logic’s idea would be that since he only caught 1 that he’ll blank the 2nd day and I wouldn’t have zero worries if he fished the entire lake because more than likely he’d struggle to catch even 1

Unfortunately that happened to You. Glad you finished Strong

Reason why the pro have cut days . Should apply to kayak fishing too especially on 2 day’s event. Top 50 advance and anyone who not catch a limit on day one goes home

Your kayak is faster and After he said I hope you skunk I would had pushed as hard as I could to make sure I got there first lol first to the spot gets the spot GGWP

This is why we need day 2 cuts. Catch 3 or go home or cut the bottom 3rd of the field.

Had the exact same situation on Seminole last year but with a respectable angler. I had 4 solid fish and it was late in the day. This guy and I both came up on an island point at the same time. He asked me how I was doing I told him I was 1 away and he told me he only had 1 fish. I didn't even ask, he just told me he hoped I killed it and he turned around and left. It's all about courtesy.

the guy is a piece of work

I would have said "No Comment". He knows the deal,its a tournament. Its you against many other guys.

Better pick it up that’s 4 😂 Good job staying cool, people are going to hate no matter what, just remember your doing what you love and the other shit will fade away

Good Video

That's a sub " that's 4 better pick it up!"

I got into a a debate with a friend who I think he didn't know it was me about fishing a certain stretch. I was closer to getting to the spot and was there for a bit when he came up and basically claimed the whole entire bankline from where he was down another .30 of a mile. I should have called him out by name but I dropped it and let him have it. Then I went over to the left and caught two fish real quick. So it is what it is I guess. But that crap pissese me off as well.

You guy's really get those fish in, huh. Are they dirty fighting fish or just need to be quick and get the next fish?

In a tournament the name of the game is efficiency and putting the odds in your favor. With heavy line and single hooked baits, there is no reason to play a fish out if you can land it quickly. And yes the longer you fight the fish, the better the odds are for the fish to jump or change directions and shake the hook, that's why I always try to be really quick with the net!

Great video of a bad interaction. We have to hold ourselves accountable since there are a lot of noobie anglers and overly competitive tools who either don't care or don't know what the commonly accepted rules of etiquette are for any bass tournament-regardless of it being a kayak or bass boat tournament. The BlueSky guy was clueless if he thought he could overcome a 1 scored fish on day 1 at a tournament that big.

I had a similar experience in a 2 day KBF tournament where I beat the guy to the spot then he rolled right over my line and told me that he was going to let me have the spot uncontested. Some people are just....not quality individuals.

Shew I would not wanna fish a kayak in a lake that had the state record alligator in it

Hey bro real tournament fisherman would not say that he wants you to blank out that's terrible not cool bad bass etiquette but see what happened because he had a bad attitude you caught another one and then another. Good job bud good attitude. That other guy is a jackass someone like that doesn't belong in tournament fishing your supposed to praise and support other angler's when there doing good. Nice job you got a check. Good for you bro I'm happy for you I'm almost 60 years old and you young anglers are so bright and intelligent and your just fantastic fisherman and what that guy said to you. You didn't even let that bother you excellent strong mental attitude someone like you is going to have a successful tournament career. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri.

@@nolanminor6761 good reply Nolan hey Nolan did you ever hear what Kevin van dam says it's all about the attitude you have. And I can see you know that already. Good luck in your tournaments this season keep me posted how your doing I could teach you some stuff you may not know. Hey Nolan hers one one for you. If you go to one of your tournaments and it's a cloudy windy day do not hesitate to have a spinnerbait tied on the wind and a spinnerbait is like peanut butter and jelly your not going to eat peanut butter with out jelly. And don't hesitate to go up in weight size with your tungsten worm weights because alot of times if you're not getting bit it's as simple as a weight change.

Nolan anyone that loves to fish are for the most part good folks IMO so I want to share something with ya and I'm not picking on ya at all. I'm 55 yrs old live on Ky. Lake and fish on average right at 200 days a year and have been fishing ever since big enough to hold a pole and I learned something today when I went and I do most every time or least I try. And it's what hooks most folks the fact that you will continue to learn as long as your living and are fishing. This is about your shad spawn theory ask yourself, in a school of shad or baitfish which ones do the Bass or other fish tend to eat? The weak injured or sick right and I'm sure you knew the answer. So don't leave a school of shad/baitfish wherever there's bait there will be fish. Get bit making em think your bait is the injured sick weak shad/baitfish. I'm sure you got it from here bud and do this. At end of a day of fishing ask yourself what's one thing I learned today? Bet ya can always think of one thing and long as you can do that your doing good and can only get better for it. Lastly let the scales do your talking. IMO that 4th fish maybe not been bad idea to not have said anything just block that stuff out the more you say or talk the more they think they've gotten to ya sorta speak. Besides you got fish to catch!!! Be safe and never give up!! I wonder what would best imitate weak injured shad???? Um.......I'm going to sub because this has something to do with fishing and enjoy watching ya catch em as well as enjoy seeing you win one in near future!!

Defensive fishing actually is a thing on curcuits........if guys know there's a hot spot they will go burn that spot in a heart beat......hell me and my friends use to try and do it to eachother at pot tournaments lol......it definitely is a thing though....

Im not subbing to anyone that doesnt acknoledge a single comment. That tells me the guy has his nose pointed upward . But i would have wanted to know why he kept fishing the same bait in the same spot ,Even after they evidently dropped the water several feet . Most of the time the fish will move into deep structure just by instinct .It usually takes a few days of stable water before they bite again.

yeah bro, that's bullshit.......i will give up a spot to someone even if im in contention for a check if they are taking a run at the win or something. theres very few instances I won't try and work something out with someone if they just talk to me and be decent about it. What I hate is when someone just blows right in front of me or something without even saying anything. anytime im going down a stretch and am coming towards someone boat or kayak, in our tourney or not, I will always ask them if its cool if I go around them, or just talk to them about where I was planning on going, and how can I do that so we are both happy? the people that just cut you off and then mean mug you and shit......that's the stuff that's unacceptable.

That's sad 175 boats and you only got $900 for 14th place. Yikes good job though bro

He deserves one fish for fishing that contraption. Is that considered a kayak

Always has to be that one jackass on the water!

Yeah. He should have left you the spot.

I dunno man just say hey this was my best stretch yesterday do you mind if I share it with you not can you leave it for me....

Its bout we all learn that nobody owns the water or any spot,weekend anglers, bank fishing and so on,NO ONE OWNS THE WATER 🤔

He is just a tool. Karma is real and he will get his. You handled it right.

Damn, I mean if he hung back and fished your footprint that be one thing, but dude cut in front, that's shitty just on a normal day of fun fishing. Took a trip to Lake moomaw last month, on the last day before I packed up camp, I wanted to check the camp fishing area from the back since my kayak was already loaded up. I'm right on the bank fishing the small area I can access when a dude in a big ass pontoon comes and pulls up literally right in front of me and starts casting toward me, beating the bank. I just blank stared in disbelief, and said "by all means sir, help yourself." The shoreline I was on ran up the lake for several miles, but the spot I was standing on must have been the prime real estate that he just couldn't pass by. Basically, use common sense and don't be a dick.

Eufaula?

It is sad that many of the toxic elements of the bass boat crowd are coming into the kayak tournament scene and bringing their 'culture' with them. There is always a risk in 'growing the sport'.

If that was his best stretch he shouldve gotten there quicker

Aholes in everything.

This is why tournament fishing is going down hill. Plus tournament anglers with boats telling co anglers what they can’t throw., and they fish the best spots.

I've only had one bad experience so far that I can recall in a tournament! Even though we have more fishermen than ever nowadays so interactions on the water become more frequent, people are pretty nice. We just see examples like this because no clip of someone saying "Oh you fished this yesterday and you're doing well? I'll try to stay out of your way man I didn't do great yesterday, good luck!" goes viral

This is why I don’t fish bass tournaments bc 99% of guys that bass fish are arrogant jerks.

What a class A tool that guy was? Why go out of your way to be so rude to someone?🤦🏾‍♂️

That dude was ass!

This is why I don't fish in Touraments. To much drama. I have set in my boat talking to guys in other boats and both of us fishing the same bank not 10ft apart from each other. Never had a run in with no one. You don't own any part of that lake it's open to anyone that wants to fish it.

Big yikes haha

Thats 4... lol

I have been fishing for 55 years now, lots of competition, those folks are just dumbarses and miserable jerks, move on and let them mess with the wrong guy or guys.
