Oh my goodness, Hollis. The silence and peacefulness were masterfully done. Plus putting words on the vid. So relaxing and enjoyable. Felt like I was right there with yall fishing! Amazing. Thank you Hollis & Nancy. ❤❤❤
WOW! I’ve had a few friends in the past, but nothing that lasts a lifetime. I love to crappie fish an only wish I had someone that loved the Lord and wouldn’t have to worry about it being a vulgar beerfest. I’m a kid at heart and I thoroughly admire your story! Thank you!
A friend like Tommy is highly valuable for sure Hollis. Always good to go fishing with you and Nancy, but I think Tommy beat you both out this time. Next trip maybe you and Nancy will come out on top. Thanks for the ride along and God bless.
I had a best friend of over 40 yrs. She never liked the things i enjoyed like fishing or gardening but we loved to be together and talked for hours. Unfortunately, she has dementia now. My sister and i hang out now. We talk, shop for hours a few days a week... She also doesn't enjoy fishing, gardening or cooking... but her son suddenly developed an interest in gardening. Your videos will help us get started. Thank you ❤
Thanking God, here in far north California, that you have such a wonderful pleasure. You know, God didn't make us to painful toil and sweat as described in Genesis. My heart yearns and I cried watching you, I want this way of life for my husband. He just has to want it (he loves fishing) more than the painful toil and sweat to just work to pay the bills. Thanks for a great video that points us to Christ.
We understand, we prayed and we worked hard for many years and both retired before we were able to buy the homestead. With God all things are possible. Lord we lift up this family to guide them to the life they dream of. Amen 🙏. My favorite verse Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. We live our life to delight God and love His people and He abundantly blessed us.
Yes that is an awesome friendship! I had a friend like that, Hollis! Sadly he passed just over three years ago! He was an old Army buddy and both of us retired and had other jobs and retired again. He had a long term illness which eventually claimed him about 3 years ago! Cherish that friendship forever, Hollis, as I know you will!
Hi this is Dylan fron BassPro of Gainesville. I helped you get your fish finder setup. How is that hummingbird on the bow working for you? I love yalls videos. You both are the most humble and down to earth people I have ever met. Your buddy is lucky to be able to call you a friend.
Good to hear from you Dylan!! Yes sir, the Hummingbird is fantastic!! A real game changer. Thank you so much for helping us. You were so nice to a couple of old folks. We really appreciate it. We are saving up now to add another unit in the spring for the side scan imaging. We will definitely be coming back to get you to hook it up for us. Thanks for all you do and thank you for watching our videos. Have a blessed day❤️👍
Awesome video! Y’all should try to fish on Lake Yale Leesburg FL, I live here on the lake. Come by and I’ll have coffee ready for you at our boat dock. Blessings
Our Lake Seminole is saturated with those weeds. DNR has brought carp in to eat some of it but they put up a fish gate to keep the carp out of the big lake. We have Flint River, Chattahoochee River and Spring Creek that empties into the lake. Florida gets all that water.
I had one that I lost a few years back who was like a brother. We met in 2nd grade. His name was also Tommy. I am glad for you and am glad all is going well for you and Nancy. May God bless you both greatly.
Awesome video y'all. I was back in Florida last week for a visit. Didn't get to fish but we did have a great dinner at Whitey's. Sending blessings from the mountains of Colorado.
@@HollisNancysHomestead Would love to but FB doesn't like me anymore..lol. Tell "Tall Pines" his friend and old fishing partner has him in his thoughts and prayers.
I live in keystone and fish santa fe lake a lot. I'd love to meet up one of these days to take the boats out and learn to fish orange lake. Im more of a saltwater guy but love me some spec when i can manage to find em lol
Yes Tommy is a great person I've known him and hard with him for 40 plus years and fished mostly he's the kind of person did if you need something you know he'll be there love your videos
We call them Crappie here in Georgia! My dad and I have been tying off under bridges and railroad trusses at night catching them for 32 years since I was 4, as far back as I can remember! We don’t keep anything under 15 inches and have a 30 fish per person limit! We get our 60 keepers every trip though. It’s fun when the Stippers, hybrid, and white bass come through… when you fish for crappie during the day all you get is the size in the video, about 8-10 inches, those fish aren’t even 2 years old so we release them.
@@HollisNancysHomestead I live in Sportsman's cove. great boat ramp, great dock area. I helped built those docks, and the pump house for the water supply in the RV park. come on back later this fall, I hear the fishing is better then.
Thank you both for the super fun and learning fishing trip. Just 4 days ago I finally got myself a fishing rig! Now, I would be obliged if you could send me a hidden message with the approximate GPS area. I'm also going to try out Lochloosa too. As always your Middleburg neighbor. Mac
When I was a youth in the 1950s, my Uncle Horace took me fishing with him. We often went to Lake Kickapoo in north Texas because he fished illegally and sold the fish, illegally. Our fishing was done at night and the work usually took all night. He would sometimes drop me off om am island and I would fish from the bank, build a large fire, make coffee and doze. I created a scene in my book, Michael's Eyes, of those moments.
Northerners catch crop-pee. Floridians catch specs. Most Georgia Boys catch crap-pee. I catch White Perch because that's what Daddy called them. Either way, they're fun to catch and fun to eat. Great friends are the best. Like Gus and Captain Call. Tight Lines and God Bless To the best youtubers out there.
Haven't seen y'all in a while but, I've been searching and can't find an answer... we have banana plants that only grow about 6 inch bananas, they don't get soft any suggestions what I can do with them
My dad had a best friend who he lost contact with for 30 years before reconnecting again and they spoke every day for 10 years before my dad passed in 2018. His best friend passed in 2020. I only had one really good friend whom I moved away from when I was a kid. He passed away last year aged 47. Moral of the story is you need to appreciate relationships while you can.
If a man has a very good friend, he is to be considered greatly blessed!
Nice to have a friend like family, I’m happy Tommy had reached out Holis🙏
Oh my goodness, Hollis. The silence and peacefulness were masterfully done. Plus putting words on the vid.

I totally agree. I love to fish, hunt, and work in the garden since I retired.
A friend like Tommy is highly valuable for sure Hollis. Always good to go fishing with you and Nancy, but I think Tommy beat you both out this time. Next trip maybe you and Nancy will come out on top. Thanks for the ride along and God bless.
Totally agree
For Good Food, Good Friends, Good Family
For All Our Blessings
We Thank Thee O Lord
Amen!
Beautiful day on the water!

Nothing like having a best friend, except maybe a best friend that likes to fish.have a blessed day too.
Awesome Friends are Family too! ❤
Looks like a great day on the lake.
Old friends are always remembered 😊

YEA Nancy! You really got it goin' on girl!
Wonderful to see you all enjoyed your day. Have a great week!
Same to you
My parents used to live on the lake in Citra dad was always on it fishing
You both look like brothers😮
A little temperament with fishing always makes the sport enjoyable.
You got that right!
I see all that moss and think red bugs. They sure do itch. Our trees are covered in the moss on the old live oaks.
Good stuff yall!
Thanks for watching brother !
Yes Tommy is a great person I've known him and hard with him for 40 plus years and fished mostly he's the kind of person did if you need something you know he'll be there love your videos
Thanks for sharing.
I sure wish we could catch em like that here in Ohio. Love the show friends

I love crappies and bluegill. Good eating 😋 thanks for sharing ❤
Great video, as always Nancy is smoking them fish. Nice boat ramp, even though it was busy. Is that the ramp on the East side of the lake?
So nice to reconnect with old friends. 🥰

Very cool!

That lady can net a fish. Your a lucky guy. Great vid. Are you using sinkers or floats. Can’t tell in the vid.
Thanks sinkers

Where did you find the side mounted rod holder. I've been looking for them. Thanks
Great video, always wanted to fish orange lake, but never have. Do you remember the actual date you went fishing?
This was on Monday

I have 3 heart sisters. We've been friends for over 30 years.
What happened to the big center console boat yall used to have? Either way nice fishing video.
We trade it in before we moved from Va to this new one.
My wife out fishes me also.
Hollis got to ask ,were you using ghost shrimp or minnows ? Thanks
Minnows
Hollis, please tell me you didn't have your headlights on while launching?
Fog lights

Crappie definitely dont live up to their name. They're delicious.
There is no better eating in the world than crisp fried crappy.
I thought you guys were going fishing. All you're doing is trolling.
