Thanks Mike! Very glad that you were a part of my story and was extremely honored to be your partner for the team tournament! It was absolutely epic for us to have caught PB's on back to back days 😵💫😂🤣👍. That big bass definitely decided to make his grand entrance on camera! Until he jumped like that, I really had no idea it was that big since he was running right at me lol. Then when he Bull dogged several times at the boat I was a bit concerned that the line might not hold but fortunately the Omniflex Monofilament held up just fine 👍. Thanks again for everything Mike, I really enjoyed the tournament and caught a bunch of bigs I likely wouldn't have caught otherwise!
🤣😂👍 Thanks bro! I know my heart skipped a beat as soon as that giant came out of the water for it's grand entrance lol. I already knew at that point it was close to a PB... then when it bull dogged several times there was absolutely no doubt that it was. Definitely reaffirmed my confidence in Omniflex Monofilament lol. Really a shame though that the camera didn't do it the justice it really deserved! Thanks for watching my story Joe 👍
Sounds likek you guys had a blast and very interesting concept for a tournament. Congrats to you both on the PB's and thanks for sharing this terrific adventure! Merry Chritmas from 'Down Under', hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday!
Thanks Larry! We absolutely had a blast fishing in the Shane Flint tournament. I was really honored that Mike invited me to be his Teammate. I think we definitely helped eachother to become better overall anglers and caught quality bass we probably otherwise wouldn't have. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well and a Happy New Year!!!
Beautifully edited video, from start to finish. Loved the narration, BZ. So many clips from so many trips to make it happen. Your work didn't go unnoticed by me. That's an absolute UNIT! Camera didn't do it justice because it weighed much more than it looked at first, well, until I saw the belly. Then it made sense. Great one, buddy! And on your own lure, that makes it extra special. I'm going to be throwing that one more next year now that I know it works.
Thank you kindly bro! It definitely required alot of editing work on this one... in the software my timeline was insane lol. You made a slight appearance in one of the clips but you were there with me in a few clips. We have had some epic fishing adventures haven't we? You also saw some of my epic fails in person... like the ice slide intro gone wrong lol! You are absolutely right, the camera didn't do it the justice of seeing it in person! That thing was a beast! It's tail was sooo thick it was unreal lol. It was definitely special to have caught it on a Lure I made myself. Those Do-It Mold Beaver Bugs are fire and have caught me a bunch of giant bass this year. Many I haven't shown on my channel yet... I still have about 6 or 7 potential episodes backlogged. The best part of the lure was that it was a true custom job... not only was it in the color shifting Midnight gill color but I added an internal rattle for an extra touch the bass don't usually see in soft plastics! Thanks for watching and commenting bro 👍 Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
That was awesome! It's always a goal to get a new PB, and telling the story behind it really puts into perspective the factors of being in the right place, at the right time, with the right bait, then you get that tug that lets you know this one is special, and at what better time could it happen than during a tournament, Haha. Congratulations!
Thank you kindly bro!!! I don't know of many bass anglers who intentionally set out to catch dinks... other than me for tournament strategy 😂🤣👍. It was definitely a case of right place, right time, right bait and perfect cast lol. The really funny part is that I was going to quit fishing due to the weather. Literally minutes from heading around the corner to the boat launch. It took me a few minutes to convince myself it was worth the paddle back across the lake to fish my target area. The reason that sealed the deal was because I had told Mike that hopefully I would have a PB alert for him that day 🤣😂... I just can't believe I pulled it off on that specific day lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Great video and congrats on that giant! Great job! Appreciate you sharing this with us. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Thank you! It was absolutely incredible to catch a New PB for 2023... especially on back to back days with my tournament partner 🤣😂👍! As always, thank you for watching and for your support! Happy holidays to you and your family!!!
Awesome Tank, congrats on the PB, and a really great episode. I hope you are able to join in the 2024 tournaments (Schedule coming in the next few weeks). That fish would have won the Southern Big Bass Tournament.
Thank you Shane! I had a really great time fishing in your tournament! You did an outstanding job putting the whole thing together, thanks for all your effort into making something awesome for the community 👍. I will definitely be interested in making a return to a tournament of yours! Thanks for watching and commenting bro 👍
Thanks Sean! Absolutely an exciting time when you catch a PB... really hard to hide it too lol. It couldn't have come at a better time too, especially since Mike had caught his the day before! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 👍
The kayak primarily used in this video is the Pelican Catch Classic 100. Definitely a very decent budget kayak that is generally readily available at most retailers. My tip if you are interested in getting one is to check at Walmart between now and March, they often go on sale during this time. When I have done price comparisons, Walmart is usually about $50 cheaper than any other retailer. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching and commenting 👍
@@beardzerofishing l asked because I have a Pelican Basscreek XP and it makes me feel better about fishing off it now that I've seen your video featuring you sitting and fishing off a Pelican kayak. Thanks and I subscribed and when I can I could point to your channel on to redditors looking to buy a under $900 fishing kayak.
@drjekelmrhyde the Pelican Basscreek XP seems to be a combination of attributes from the Pelican Angler and the Catch Classic 100. I also have a Pelican Angler that was my first kayak. I like that it is small and very light but it is definitely lacking in comfort with the seat unraised. Absolutely a day and night difference in comfort and stability when I switched to the Catch 100. Although still not a kayak I would stand up in, the comfort and safety I would rate highly! Thank you for your support 👍
Great job on your PB! That was a great fish! Thanks for shairng!
Thank you!!! I was really excited to catch that one... there was no hiding emotions on that day lol. 👍
That is an epic story. Thanks again for teaming up.
That big bass made an epic pair of jumps. What an awesome fish!

Thank you kindly! It was a very exciting moment in my fishing experiences and I'm confident now that I can get an even bigger one 👍
BZ! Great story telling and video, Congrats on that monster!
Thank you kindly! That is the best part about catching a giant bass... being able to tell the story and share it! 👍

Congratulations on the PB bass😊😊😊. There is nothing like a smile on the face of a person who just caught their PB. So happy for you sir.
