We’ve all been in slumps at one time or another. At least you are man enough to document it. We are still fans no matter how you finish. It will be that much sweeter when you bust that slump. Enjoying the journey.
As a small club fisherman I can surely relate, it tough when you struggle, I fish with my son and we’ve struggled this year too. But I’m blessed that he looks at me after the tournament and says” Daddy I still had fun” even though I feel it’s up to me to put us on fish, it’s still a team event, father and son. So I have someone who’s there with me, who understands the struggle and the events of the day that transpired. I enjoy your channel and appreciate your honesty, May God Bless You, watch over You, and protect You on Your many journeys, 👍👍
Keep your head up brother! Everyone goes through stretches like this. But you’ve shown you can do this, you just need a few breaks to go your way to get the momentum back and get that confidence back up. No doubt it’s going to happen this next derby at Sabine. You got this 👊🏽
I could only fish two ways in competition, happy and confident or pissed off and angry. Both worked on their day. It's going to come good,what you did last year is all i needed to see to know you got what it takes.
As a tournament angler and new RUclipsr I totally get the frustrations and the stress this career path causes. But, what I can say is that it makes the victories so much sweeter when you know you’ve continued to grind and never given up. Sometimes you get a stick in the eye, sometimes you zig when you should’ve zagged, but the day it all comes together and you get to see all your hard work pay off is the most priceless moment that a man can ever experience. Keep grinding man!
Bradley it's not YOU driving the struggle bus it's fear, frustration. self doubt ,and our tendency to give too much time to the past. That is extremely hard to walk away from but we gotta shake it. Get back to just being in the moment (sounds corny and too simple) but it does help clear the mind. The path you're on ain't easy for sure, but it is one you can walk and walk well. You know how to do this bud, and we are all pullin' for you! You are too good of a guy to fail!
No looking back, turn that bus around, one fish at a time. You can do this, you have the tools and the knowledge. Trust your instincts and just go fishing ! Good luck the rest of the year !
Been here, reflected in the same mirror. I just started on the Toyota series after being in billiards for over 26 years. I didn't look forward to waking up and hitting balls anymore, writing, or working on cues. New adventure, new lake, and a ton of people i get to meet for the first time. Man, i felt it in my soul when you said, we need those checks. Keep grindin,
Thank you for bringing us along even when it doesn’t work out like you wanted. Remember there was a time when you weren’t in the big show. Enjoy being at the top level and Keep grinding
You're not alone brother. Beena tough year so far for ya boi as well, but I plan on kicking in the ass and getting on that Dominator train! Park that Bus in Okie and finish strong. I know its tough but really enjoy the videos. Yours and John season is coming!! Speaking of season that Uncle Chris' is fire on Brisket if you get sone time!!
I'm not going to be like so many others and feel sorry for you. Instead I will say that I envy you. You are living your dream by fishing the Elites. Things are definitely not going your way but we all have had some sort of bad things happen at some point in our lives, but we find a way to get through it and you will too! Whether you are driving the bus or not you still have the next tournament to concentrate on so dust off the bad vibes and continue to follow your dream. Do what you do best!!!
Keep it up! I've had the opportunity down here in FL to marshal several pro tournaments over the past few years. I've gotten just a taste of the grind that you guys commit yourselves to, then you continue the grind on to the next stop. You have to love what you do. Keep doing it as long as you love it, and be ready to hang it up when the grind takes over. The time away from your family isn't worth the grind if you don't love it.... I guess that goes for any job.
Feeling bad for you. Been following you since your days at the opens with Scott and Todd. It is easy to say, put the last challenging tournaments behind you and figure out a way to fish to your strengths. You can do this, shake that negative and fish your strengths and try to have fun out there. You are one of the great fisherman amongst other greats, do not forget that. All the best!
Bradley… you got real fans. Who like you and have seen what you can do. Let us know what we CAN do to help out. Like other than tell you we got your back…
Man Bradley, I feel you bro, I’m not on the same level but I’m right next to you giving you directions on the suck buss! Been that kind of year! Best advice I’ve gotten from other anglers is to be you and ignore noise! You belong there or you wouldn’t be there 👍
Brad, you are a man’s man straight up. You will release the daemons and find your stride. As Winston Churchill said “when u are in a fire, keep walking thru it to the other side”
Hang in there bro. Things will change been on so Tuff fisheries. I live on santee and it beats all of us up. It has a low population of fish. Not at all like the time you cracked 30. Take the break after Lay and reset. You got what it takes just like a batting slump got to swing your way out of it. Patience it will come back.
Keep fighting the fight hammer....it will turn around when you least expect it. You are a stick and you know it, so don't question yourself, stay out of your own head and keep after it bro. Oh and Amazon has Uncle Chris Seasoning, get you some and tight lines!
Hey Bradley I have a hard time catching bass from feb to april last year and this year. I said in May I am going to throw a chatterbait everytime I go fishing went 3 days in a row caught 2 bass about a pound a piece. Went the fourth day caught 32lbs won the tournament. I was swimming my chatterbait to fast. Next rournament throw a chatterbait nothing else.
hey Bradley, I will tell you same as many others, Hang in the brother!! that’s easy for us to say because we’re not doing it for a living. Just saw Lay lake results and i know know very frustrating. Things Will turn around!
Hate watching a video like this coming from a hammer. You summed it up best for what A LOT of guys have a hard time doing and that’s understanding. No doubt in my mind that you’ll understand them in Alabama. Go crack em bud 👊🏼
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. God wants to hear from us even on the bad days, he has blessed each and everyone of us that love to fish, to except the good days along with the bad days. And still have the right mind set to Thank him for every day. His plan is bigger than our plan, your valleys are to help the next person out of theirs I promise you. Keep digging Bradley Hallman.
Hallman, damn, I don’t know what happened on Lay Lake, I watched you, I don’t know what to tell you, you got to make a turn around on Sabine, I know you are in the dumps buddy, but just go fishing man, you never know at the end of the day, Hang in there buddy…..
Buddy the end of this is super hard to watch already knowing how things went in Alabama. You're too good for shit to go this way. You're gonna shock the world and win a smallmouth derby channeling your inner Pangerac with a ned rig or something.
29, 74, 81, 96, 104. Once you hit rock bottom, only one way to go. The Sabine is the best place to get a top 10 finish. Catch 1 fish per day and you’ll be in the top 10.
Know you heard it before, there is always someone else that has it worse than you right now. Keep grinding Hallman, it will work itself out. Take that suckbus and drive that SOB off a cliff, and then get in that kick ass bus and go take some boys behind that woodshed!!
Never competed in any high level tournaments. I just know yesterday is gone. Cant bring it back. Tomorrow is a new day. Head down and fish today. Not yesterday. New sunrise... means a new world. You will find em. No doubt.
I know your frustrated to struggle at a lake you've done great on in the past. Would like to know when they not biting how long do you give a spot before moving on and do you try changing colors much when they're not biting?
Head up okie. I got my ass handed to me at the Arkansas river last month at the central regional tournament. I get it brother. We know how to catch ‘em let get it done.
i go for a week every year. i hate that place lol i always either go at the wrong time or i fish the wrong trees, its always something. i catch bass everywhere i go , but santee is my worst.
Santee cooper twins, where bass are definitely weather sensitive hating cold water, Marion, full of sticks and cypress , moultrie what happened to all its grass?! 😞It’s not my favorite place to fish , hang in there until the next tourney!
Brad, maybe it is time to switch a change of scene. It seems you are fishing 24 hours a day, no down time. Watching you go through the opens I saw it happen. I know what you can do and YOU can do it as well as anyone. We are all pulling for you, Go make it happen
It can't get worse ol buddy, just do better. It's a man's way of living and you're living it. Fish hard, and let the weights be what they will be. You have a great family and foundation so just geter done
It’s just not you, I am in the front seat of the bus. I am on the struggle bus this year as well, you will get off the buss just like I know I will. This on next one but we will get off the bus.
You your trying to make content , be on time to events , keep sponsors happy , catch fish and place or win . Nothing is fun when you make it a job and your lively hood and bills and family depend on it . But I have faith your goin to catch ‘em and win a elite event this year . Yes The struggles suck . Stick it out sir . Just remember you didn’t get here cause it was easy if it was easy everybody would tournament fish the tops series . And don’t forget I still go crappie in the freezer when you an family or your guys make Rayburn Texas I’ll cook free dinner for yal after practice or a work day
You need to get back in the winners circle. Bottom line. Do what you have to and make the changes necessary and damn it keep your head high and your attitude higher. Your one of the best in the world. Get to work
Fishing as a profession is akin to being a professional gambler...there's way too many variables that you can't control. Neither were ever meant to be a livelihood, just a way to blow off steam. What was once a favorite pastime, has become an ego crushing drudgery. That sucks!
Jeez...if Santee made you sick Lay Lake probably made you rethink what you’ve gotten yourself into. 104th out of 104. When David Fritz, Micah Frazier and Rick Clunn (all recently consistently terrible) placed better you know you did horrible. Get it together. This is the big league. Get your head in the game. You’re better than the results show. We have confidence in you, now it’s time for you to believe you deserve to be there
Watching you toss that fish back behind you made me unsubscribe. I didn't even finish the video. Sorry pal, I just can't support people who don't respect the fish. They're living creatures, too, you know. We're just lucky we get to outsmart them, sometimes, and compete with other humans at their expense. Treat 'em right and let 'em go gently. It would've taken you all of two more seconds to do so, and you'd have kept a subscriber.
Bradley, you are one of the best in OK. Us boys from OK are pulling for you and John every derby. You are one swing away from righting the thing. Keep swinging. You more than belong, dont question that or let that negativity slip in. Go get em!
As a lifelong competitor in everything I have ever done, I can understand and appreciate your frustrations. Pray for the pain it causes. When this slump is over and you get the opportunity to feel the elation of your successes from the hard work and dedication you have put in, it will be epic. Believe in yourself! Your family loves you, and needs for you to continue believing in yourself. Those of us who have watched you get back to the Elites, know you have more than the capabilities, and the drive to succeed at this level of fishing. Unleash the Fury!
I have been lucky enough to be involved with some elite athletes thru baseball. Sometimes athletes loose the edge that got them there. Very easy to see in your body language. Doubt has made its way in to your mind. The process of the rise back requires that You remember You are Bradley freakin Hallman one of the greatest bass anglers in the world. Put a chip on your shoulder. Do You belong here my a#$. Your already there. I dont think anybody that has subscribed or that supports You wants to ever hear You say I suck. I know I dont. Stand up and kick the dang door in and takeover everything from fishing to the control of your thoughts. The fans friends and Family are here now and will be here when You get it done. Sorry if You think this is wrong. I just know what your capable of.
I hear you bro on riding the suck bus it’s a rough road. You are a very good fisherman I know you will get through this rough patch. Push through and you will be rewarded 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍🍻Rock on
I understand the struggle I fished a derby this past Saturday and only had one bite and lost it at the boat. It’s easy to give up hope but keep your head up and push on. Don’t worry about points just know that you are among the best in the world and remember how you got there. Good luck and safe travels in Alabama
Bradley - you are a decent man and a class act out there on the bass fishing circuit. You know how to persevere, and you know how to detour around obstacles. I look up to you because of how you display good virtues - looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. You are a winner in my book, man.
Hallman… probably don’t need to hear these words at all but just remember… tough times don’t last… tough people do! Head down and tail up man! Keep grinding!!!! You can turn it around man!
Can you please make an update video for all your fans that have been with you for years? Just because you left the Elites doesn't mean that you need to ditch your RUclips channel and subscriber's. Hope you're doing well Brad. God bless 🙏
Thinking about you. I hope you’re alright. Huge fan of yours because you are real. Hang in there and just go fishing. Stop being hard on yourself. Cover water and fish your mechanics. That’s your strong point. The way you cast and the way your lure hits the water. Relax and spend some time with the family. Thanks for the content. I love the blue grass on your video ending.
Tuff break man. The best remedy is to load up the family and go kill a 12 pack at the beach with some good BBQ. Hard to think about fishing when your having a great time, good reset! Good luck at the Sabine! 🍀
You would benefit greatly from a Sports Psychologist. You seem to be putting way to much pressure on yourself. There's times that a Professional Athlete simply must say %$ck it and remove any and all goals that they may have set for themselves which brings a huge amount of pressure which in turn prevents one from reaching any goals they may have set for themselves. And Yes you are a Professional Athlete but more importantly a human being a husband and father and friend and roll model!! No disrespect but the worry stress and pressure has aged you 3 years since start of season. You were putting to much weight on having to get that bed fish first thing that morning, to heck with that fish that's not to say she'd be a plus to have no doubt. Your not having any fun or maybe not even enjoying the fruits of all the years of hard work and dedication you put into what you love and supposed to enjoy. Out of the tens of millions of anglers how many make the Elites let alone once but twice? Your not KVD not Davey Hite not Rick Clunn not Ken Cook hell naw your Bradley Hallman and when all is said and done and most importantly ENJOYED Hallman will be a name that any serious angler will have heard and knows of dam Oklahoma stick that ENJoYed the ride more than anyone with less stress and pressure than anyone. Let the rest drag and let it happen ski captain!! #noworrynopressurejust hallmandoinghallam=bluetrophy
Your getting in your own way mentally. Relax. The suck bus doesn’t exist if you don’t allow it to mentally. Stay Hard. Fish Strong. It’s you versus the fish, that’s it! Fish for you and your family only.
We’ve all been in slumps at one time or another. At least you are man enough to document it. We are still fans no matter how you finish. It will be that much sweeter when you bust that slump. Enjoying the journey.
As a small club fisherman I can surely relate, it tough when you struggle, I fish with my son and we’ve struggled this year too.

We are in this for the long haul Mr. Bradley. We are never leaving this channel.
Keep your head up brother! Everyone goes through stretches like this. But you’ve shown you can do this, you just need a few breaks to go your way to get the momentum back and get that confidence back up. No doubt it’s going to happen this next derby at Sabine. You got this 👊🏽
Hang in there Brad! It can only get better. Think like the fish.
I could only fish two ways in competition, happy and confident or pissed off and angry. Both worked on their day. It's going to come good,what you did last year is all i needed to see to know you got what it takes.

Keep your head up B.
Stay the course man. You will succeed! We all have these good and bad tournaments.
Been here, reflected in the same mirror. I just started on the Toyota series after being in billiards for over 26 years. I didn't look forward to waking up and hitting balls anymore, writing, or working on cues. New adventure, new lake, and a ton of people i get to meet for the first time.

Thank you for bringing us along even when it doesn’t work out like you wanted. Remember there was a time when you weren’t in the big show. Enjoy being at the top level and Keep grinding
Hang in there pal we pullin for you. Class Acts like you don't stay down long.
Let’s get it buddy , you got the time, I got the faith ✌🏼
You're not alone brother. Beena tough year so far for ya boi as well, but I plan on kicking in the ass and getting on that Dominator train! Park that Bus in Okie and finish strong. I know its tough but really enjoy the videos. Yours and John season is coming!! Speaking of season that Uncle Chris' is fire on Brisket if you get sone time!!
Brutal way to try and make a living
that's a nice way of putting it
Gosh, that is truly
Bradley I have faith in your fishing knowledge! I know you can do very well. Trust yourself. 😉
You got it! Can’t wait to see how the rest turn out. Something about adversity that gets us all focused on the right things after awhile.
Good video. Thanks for sharing the struggle. You are gonna catch ‘em!
I'm not going to be like so many others and feel sorry for you. Instead I will say that I envy you. You are living your dream by fishing the Elites. Things are definitely not going your way but we all have had some sort of bad things happen at some point in our lives, but we find a way to get through it and you will too! Whether you are driving the bus or not you still have the next tournament to concentrate on so dust off the bad vibes and continue to follow your dream. Do what you do best!!!
Positive mental attitude and fish fearless! You got this!
Good luck in Alabama.
Good music in your videos. Especially your exit! 🐟
Hang in there you figure it out. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. And keep your head up, keep grinding..
We'll be there, brother!
Keep it up! I've had the opportunity down here in FL to marshal several pro tournaments over the past few years. I've gotten just a taste of the grind that you guys commit yourselves to, then you continue the grind on to the next stop. You have to love what you do. Keep doing it as long as you love it, and be ready to hang it up when the grind takes over. The time away from your family isn't worth the grind if you don't love it.... I guess that goes for any job.
But the time away from your family is worth it if you love to FISH.😅😅
Feeling bad for you. Been following you since your days at the opens with Scott and Todd. It is easy to say, put the last challenging tournaments behind you and figure out a way to fish to your strengths. You can do this, shake that negative and fish your strengths and try to have fun out there. You are one of the great fisherman amongst other greats, do not forget that. All the best!
Bradley… you got real fans. Who like you and have seen what you can do. Let us know what we CAN do to help out.
Like other than tell you we got your back…
Pulling for you Bradley! Keep working it will come. Never give up.
Man Bradley, I feel you bro, I’m not on the same level but I’m right next to you giving you directions on the suck buss! Been that kind of year! Best advice I’ve gotten from other anglers is to be you and ignore noise! You belong there or you wouldn’t be there 👍
Hang in there. I been a fan since you won on my home lake Lanier.
Brad, you are a man’s man straight up. You will release the daemons and find your stride. As Winston Churchill said “when u are in a fire, keep walking thru it to the other side”
Stay pumped! Positive mental attitude!!! Do what you do…fish! Love the vids!
Keep the faith! You've got a come back coming!!
It WILL happen for you bro. I have faith in you
Hey Mr hallman sorry you had a not so great tournament. Hope you have a better tournament next time. God bless you and your family.
Go be great Hallman!
Hang in there bro. Things will change been on so Tuff fisheries. I live on santee and it beats all of us up. It has a low population of fish. Not at all like the time you cracked 30.

Keep your nose to the grind stone!

Fiesta seasoning bottled in San Antonio Texas stuffs amazing.

Hate watching a video like this coming from a hammer. You summed it up best for what A LOT of guys have a hard time doing and that’s understanding. No doubt in my mind that you’ll understand them in Alabama. Go crack em bud 👊🏼
You are gonna get right at Sabine Hoss!! You made 2 cuts already in your first year back. Stay positive!!
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Hey bro keep your head up you a great fisherman going through some shit you will be good bro your to good 👍👍👍
Chin up bud.🤟
A lot of other top anglers are going through fairly crappy tournaments as well, you're not alone
Just have yo stay positive
Fish the moment while using your strengths. Every fish that gets off gives you the confidence that they are there
You got this brother 💪
Hallman, damn, I don’t know what happened on Lay Lake, I watched you, I don’t know what to tell you, you got to make a turn around on Sabine, I know you are in the dumps buddy, but just go fishing man, you never know at the end of the day, Hang in there buddy…..
Goodluck man
Buddy the end of this is super hard to watch already knowing how things went in Alabama. You're too good for shit to go this way. You're gonna shock the world and win a smallmouth derby channeling your inner Pangerac with a ned rig or something.
If it was easy everybody would do it. Keep your head down and keep grinding it will happen for you
29, 74, 81, 96, 104. Once you hit rock bottom, only one way to go. The Sabine is the best place to get a top 10 finish. Catch 1 fish per day and you’ll be in the top 10.
Know you heard it before, there is always someone else that has it worse than you right now. Keep grinding Hallman, it will work itself out. Take that suckbus and drive that SOB off a cliff, and then get in that kick ass bus and go take some boys behind that woodshed!!
Never competed in any high level tournaments. I just know yesterday is gone. Cant bring it back. Tomorrow is a new day. Head down and fish today. Not yesterday. New sunrise... means a new world. You will find em. No doubt.
I know your frustrated to struggle at a lake you've done great on in the past. Would like to know when they not biting how long do you give a spot before moving on and do you try changing colors much when they're not biting?
Hang in there
That coosa chain is tough. Bounce back at Sabine
Dude keep your head up - yore day - is coming.
Take my hat off for you it's not a easy job thanks love your videos 😊
Head up okie. I got my ass handed to me at the Arkansas river last month at the central regional tournament. I get it brother. We know how to catch ‘em let get it done.
What part of Oklahoma do you live in? I’m in okc and would love to meet you.
Keep grinding Hallman, them boys are good, find some fish and rip
Keep on trucking Bradley. You'll turn it around. Texas will be the start of the explosion for you!
Love to have told you use glass raddels
i go for a week every year. i hate that place lol i always either go at the wrong time or i fish the wrong trees, its always something. i catch bass everywhere i go , but santee is my worst.
Santee will humble anybody
Cut the wires on the electronic and use the skills that got you there. Just my opinion. Good luck in Alabama.
Santee cooper twins, where bass are definitely weather sensitive hating cold water, Marion, full of sticks and cypress , moultrie what happened to all its grass?! 😞It’s not my favorite place to fish , hang in there until the next tourney!
Brad, maybe it is time to switch a change of scene. It seems you are fishing 24 hours a day, no down time. Watching you go through the opens I saw it happen. I know what you can do and YOU can do it as well as anyone. We are all pulling for you, Go make it happen
"suckville" lmao we have all been there... At a boy
It can't get worse ol buddy, just do better. It's a man's way of living and you're living it. Fish hard, and let the weights be what they will be. You have a great family and foundation so just geter done
It’s a job is what he’s saying… Not an easy job at that!
It’s just not you, I am in the front seat of the bus. I am on the struggle bus this year as well, you will get off the buss just like I know I will. This on next one but we will get off the bus.
You your trying to make content , be on time to events , keep sponsors happy , catch fish and place or win . Nothing is fun when you make it a job and your lively hood and bills and family depend on it . But I have faith your goin to catch ‘em and win a elite event this year . Yes The struggles suck . Stick it out sir . Just remember you didn’t get here cause it was easy if it was easy everybody would tournament fish the tops series . And don’t forget I still go crappie in the freezer when you an family or your guys make Rayburn Texas I’ll cook free dinner for yal after practice or a work day
You need to get back in the winners circle. Bottom line. Do what you have to and make the changes necessary and damn it keep your head high and your attitude higher. Your one of the best in the world. Get to work
Really sucks when it’s a lake (Lay) that sets up for your wheel house and it gives you a big middle finger. 🤪💩
Fishing as a profession is akin to being a professional gambler...there's way too many variables that you can't control. Neither were ever meant to be a livelihood, just a way to blow off steam. What was once a favorite pastime, has become an ego crushing drudgery. That sucks!
Jeez...if Santee made you sick Lay Lake probably made you rethink what you’ve gotten yourself into. 104th out of 104. When David Fritz, Micah Frazier and Rick Clunn (all recently consistently terrible) placed better you know you did horrible. Get it together. This is the big league. Get your head in the game. You’re better than the results show. We have confidence in you, now it’s time for you to believe you deserve to be there
Must have a trust fund or wealthy wife.
Watching you toss that fish back behind you made me unsubscribe. I didn't even finish the video. Sorry pal, I just can't support people who don't respect the fish. They're living creatures, too, you know. We're just lucky we get to outsmart them, sometimes, and compete with other humans at their expense. Treat 'em right and let 'em go gently. It would've taken you all of two more seconds to do so, and you'd have kept a subscriber.
Win, lose or draw I'm enjoying watching this progression. I don't envy your struggle, but I appreciate it and your dedication.
Bradley, you are one of the best in OK. Us boys from OK are pulling for you and John every derby. You are one swing away from righting the thing. Keep swinging. You more than belong, dont question that or let that negativity slip in. Go get em!
As a lifelong competitor in everything I have ever done, I can understand and appreciate your frustrations. Pray for the pain it causes. When this slump is over and you get the opportunity to feel the elation of your successes from the hard work and dedication you have put in, it will be epic. Believe in yourself! Your family loves you, and needs for you to continue believing in yourself. Those of us who have watched you get back to the Elites, know you have more than the capabilities, and the drive to succeed at this level of fishing. Unleash the Fury!
Part of what makes bass fishing fun is sucking real bad then going home and learning new things and then catching a ton after you learn.
I have been lucky enough to be involved with some elite athletes thru baseball. Sometimes athletes loose the edge that got them there. Very easy to see in your body language. Doubt has made its way in to your mind. The process of the rise back requires that You remember You are Bradley freakin Hallman one of the greatest bass anglers in the world. Put a chip on your shoulder. Do You belong here my a#$. Your already there. I dont think anybody that has subscribed or that supports You wants to ever hear You say I suck. I know I dont. Stand up and kick the dang door in and takeover everything from fishing to the control of your thoughts. The fans friends and Family are here now and will be here when You get it done. Sorry if You think this is wrong. I just know what your capable of.
Might need to change up your living/travel arrangements...... misery loves company.
I hear you bro on riding the suck bus it’s a rough road. You are a very good fisherman I know you will get through this rough patch. Push through and you will be rewarded 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍🍻Rock on
I understand the struggle I fished a derby this past Saturday and only had one bite and lost it at the boat. It’s easy to give up hope but keep your head up and push on. Don’t worry about points just know that you are among the best in the world and remember how you got there. Good luck and safe travels in Alabama
Bradley - you are a decent man and a class act out there on the bass fishing circuit. You know how to persevere, and you know how to detour around obstacles. I look up to you because of how you display good virtues - looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you. You are a winner in my book, man.
Hallman… probably don’t need to hear these words at all but just remember… tough times don’t last… tough people do! Head down and tail up man! Keep grinding!!!! You can turn it around man!
Can you please make an update video for all your fans that have been with you for years? Just because you left the Elites doesn't mean that you need to ditch your RUclips channel and subscriber's. Hope you're doing well Brad. God bless 🙏
The struggle bus s real. When your on it it never feels like you'll get off it. When your doing good you don't think about it...
Thinking about you. I hope you’re alright. Huge fan of yours because you are real. Hang in there and just go fishing. Stop being hard on yourself. Cover water and fish your mechanics. That’s your strong point. The way you cast and the way your lure hits the water. Relax and spend some time with the family. Thanks for the content. I love the blue grass on your video ending.
Tuff break man. The best remedy is to load up the family and go kill a 12 pack at the beach with some good BBQ. Hard to think about fishing when your having a great time, good reset! Good luck at the Sabine! 🍀
You would benefit greatly from a Sports Psychologist. You seem to be putting way to much pressure on yourself. There's times that a Professional Athlete simply must say %$ck it and remove any and all goals that they may have set for themselves which brings a huge amount of pressure which in turn prevents one from reaching any goals they may have set for themselves. And Yes you are a Professional Athlete but more importantly a human being a husband and father and friend and roll model!! No disrespect but the worry stress and pressure has aged you 3 years since start of season. You were putting to much weight on having to get that bed fish first thing that morning, to heck with that fish that's not to say she'd be a plus to have no doubt. Your not having any fun or maybe not even enjoying the fruits of all the years of hard work and dedication you put into what you love and supposed to enjoy. Out of the tens of millions of anglers how many make the Elites let alone once but twice? Your not KVD not Davey Hite not Rick Clunn not Ken Cook hell naw your Bradley Hallman and when all is said and done and most importantly ENJOYED Hallman will be a name that any serious angler will have heard and knows of dam Oklahoma stick that ENJoYed the ride more than anyone with less stress and pressure than anyone. Let the rest drag and let it happen ski captain!! #noworrynopressurejust hallmandoinghallam=bluetrophy
Your getting in your own way mentally. Relax. The suck bus doesn’t exist if you don’t allow it to mentally. Stay Hard. Fish Strong. It’s you versus the fish, that’s it! Fish for you and your family only.
