I would love to attend but I'm all the way on the West Coast Washington State
The first 10 minutes of your video is one of the best things about fishing for me, a way to remember memories and people in the best of light. It inspired me to share a bit of my story.
As a younger child, I had a great relationship with my father, he taught me how to fish and everything outdoors. We even went on a yearly trip from Georgia to Canada for the best smallmouth fishing you've ever seen. In my teen years and on, our relationship became a bit rough and we lost that connection that we shared the strongest while we were fishing. As life goes on, I get away from fishing, with rarely a thought of it, careers and what not. Well, fast forward and my father passes away a bit too early of cancer. As he got into his 50's, we talked more and more about getting back to some fishing trips, our best way of connecting, but it never happened... The sadness and regret had a grip on me for a while, but eventually I got myself a Skeeter and got back on the water. I'm not sure if its my minds way of coping with loss or something else, but whenever I fire up that SHO and start idling out, I feel the best version of my dad next to me, the one who taught me how to fish and love everything outdoors.
Cheers BLat, thank you for sharing your passion with us.
P.S. Your Excitebite hoodie gets compliments everywhere I go.
I lost my father to cancer last year so I know the feeling all too well. Sorry for your loss brother! God bless!
@@TheEricInman Thanks, same to you my friend.
I'm grateful for my Uncle Bob. When he passed away he willed my Dad his bass boat. He's been gone nearly 20 years and that boat has built so many memories for our family. Thanks Uncle Bob we are taking good care of her for ya. It will always be in the family.
I loved that he acknowledged that his daughter and son did something cool with their bike and scooter.
I’m grateful for my dad and mom introducing me to hunting and fishing, my dad would load my mom my sister and myself up on the weekend and go fishing all day and half the night then get up the next day we would do it again! Great memories
Love the fact you let the kiddos get involved…..keep up the great content bro!
My wife and I just had our first baby 2 days ago. Never been so grateful for anything in my life. Lil guy is awesome. This video was so fitting. Last couple days I’ve been thinking about all the times my dad would take me to the neighbors pond and cast a bait caster and hand It to me to reel in. 24 years later him and I are still fishing team tournaments together. Thanking God for all the memories and giving my dad the patience to teach me the ropes of fishing.
I’m thankful for my wife’s family for entrusting her and I and her brothers with taking care of the family cabin. Being right on a lake, this place has become a fishing and family sanctuary. I’ll always be grateful for the memories that are made there and the peace that it gives me
On my 13th Birthday, in August, happened to land on Friday 13th. We were on vacation in Gulf Shores, Alabama. My Dad and I had a 16ft Mercruiser ski boat that we had rigged out for salt water deep sea fishing and i didn't want to go out that day for fear that it would be the worst day of my life, but Dad convinced me it was only superstitions, and we caught over 200 Spanish Mackerel, before lunch. We were trolling 4 rods at the same time and when we went through a school of those Spanish, all 4 rods would bend down and id reel one after the other and ended up being one of the best days of my life.
Thank you, and "Holdem Hook!"
I am grateful for the opportunity to go fishing with Brian Latimer earlier this year. I learned a lot and increased my confidence as a bass angler. Thank You, I appreciate the opportunity! I am also grateful for all the memories I was able to make of being in the outdoors with my late dad.
You're awesome Brian!
I'm grateful for channels like yours that have inspired me to get out there and go fishing, with a better knowledge base.
I'm also grateful for my amazing family, that always has my back no matter what.
I'm grateful for my nephew surviving after being born WAY too early and had a 50/50 shot at survival. I feel like I jinxed him by joking with my sister that he'd be born on my birthday. Then it happened and his life was in jeopardy. So now I have a birthday to share with my nephew, who turns 4 next week!!! 🤞🏾💪🏾✌🏾
That means a lot. Thanks for the kind words
My first big bass that got away right there in Lake Sinclair that you were just at. Just had gotten a 5'6" Shimano Bass Stick med action with a pistol grip and a Zebco Omega 191 (late 1970's from picking up hay for 10¢ a bale) I was throwing a Bomber Speed Shad in clear in Rocky Creek before all the houses, fishing from the bank about 3/4ths towards the back of the creek. As soon as the lure hit the water it exploded at first I could not even budge it, then finally got it moving gain 15 to 20 feet then loose 5 to 10 feet. That happened 4 or 5 times then my line just went slack, I was broken hearted only bass fishing for 4 years had not caught anything over 4lbs yet. When the line went slack I just quit reeling I didn't realize the the fish was swimming toward me(that had not ever happened to me before) then I just started reeling the line in slow upset I had lost the biggest bass I ever hooked. When about 30 feet from the bank he exploded again out of the water on his tail shaking his head and you know what happened next, the speed shad come flying out over the top of my head and got hung what looked 10 to 15 feet up stuck in a pine tree. Learned a valuable lesson that day never give up and just like big bucks the big ones don't get big by being dumb. They will wrapp you around stumps logs and anything they can find also "SWIM TOWARDS YOU" . I have been hooked ever since have over the years have landed a couple over 8 from Sinclair and a farm pond have landed a 10 and 12. Still have the Zebco Omega 191 & Shimano rod still have the Speed Shad tied to it. Reminder of the 1st big bass I hooked. I was in the 7th or 8th grade fished with my Uncle most of the time dad not a fisherman just hunting.🎣🎣🎣
Love your stories!! Keep going big guy!
Every fall I would take a week off school and stay with my grandparents at the county fair grounds. They were superintendents and ran the small stock barn which is now named after them. I was there to help care for the animals while the 4H kids competed in their other events. I always had some science entries for 4H on exhibit which didn't require my attention during the fair. Some of the other kids and I would stalk the carnival while the carnies were still asleep and try to find ride tickets that weren't ripped up that we could steal to ride free for the rest of the week. We would ride the zipper a bunch of times and see how long we could keep the cage flipping after the ride had ended. One night when the ride was stopping to change direction, we were all the way at the top and had the cage SPINNING we got a crowd making noise and the guy running the ride left us up there for a pretty long time. When the ride actually ended he told us that was awesome but please don't do it again.
Man, kids grow up so fast. I can't believe Brooks is that big now. I remember watching your vids when he was the little baby. Now baby girl is popping wheelies, crazy. Another great one. Thanks for sharing B. Lat.
Bro, I'm really proud of your success with fishing and more importantly, family. And you're right on! I just told my brother to get his kids off the "baby easy" spincast and onto a spinner. They catch on way faster than people think. His kids weren't progressing with spincast and I suspected it was because it's so baby easy that it doesn't spark any interest foe growth. They were casting on their own as far as most adults within the first hour we gave them to them!
May Allah guide and increase your family. Ameen
I'm grateful that you have a channel that me and my best friend and tournament partner, my dad, can sit and watch and relate because you fish how we fish. Crankbaits and spinnerbait fishing is what we do and it's so refreshing to see you throwing it. I'm just grateful for that and every breath we get. We lost my mom Thanksgiving last year and fishing has really been a release for us, we didn't get to go much last year with her being sick, not saying we really wanted to, but this year we full on in it.
I appreciate that!
Great video ! That’s what it’s all about !
Love the story at the beginning idea
im grateful for me mom and uncle for showing me fishing. My mom would drive me down to the river to fish from the docks on weekends. As i grew older my uncle would take me out on the boat. those moments made me fall in love with fishing and once i have kids i will pass it on.
Awesome video!
I started watching John of creek fishing adventure and really got me wanting to get back out and fish and I am still trying to lose weight so I can get around better so that I can learn how to bass fishing great video
Walking about fishing and looking for good fishing spots will help ya brother. I started back about 10 years ago and it's been a life changer. My mental space is much better
John D from CFA is an awesome humble fella, met him last year when he came to fish the Cahaba Lilly Bloom with Larry M.
Your kids are adorable! Congrats on your blessings, brother! That goes along with what I'm grateful for. I have two of my own, and teaching them to appreciate fishing, how to use gear, all the stuff that I learned from my Dad and Grandpa when I was growing up, that's what does it for me. Just spending that time that I won't get back when they are older and have moved out of the house.
just recently took my 4-5 year old boys fishing for the 1st time last week end thanks so much bro for giving me motivation as a black angeler thanks man i really appreciate every video you do thanks man
I am thankful to my Grandfather and Dad for teaching me work ethic. My grandfather has also constantly challenged me to think bigger than I could ever believe. I wouldn't be the person/man I am today without them!
That’s awesome to hear
He’s a natural 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
He’s better than he realizes
Man it's got to be the best memories riding dirt roads fishing creeks and ponds. Some of the best parts of my childhood. Also picking wild plumbs and Blackberrys.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Trout fishing with my g-pa when i was little. As an adult it would be the first time i took my daughters to see the red woods
I am grateful for my co worker who recommended I take my kiddos fishing last July 4th. He let me borrow his fishing gear and it was the first time I fished in almost 20 years. I’m now a fishing addict but I took a little push from someone to start it.
Your a great dad and your family is beautiful!
Brooks is headed for Nitrocircus.. lol.. Great Angler AND Great Father..! Makin Memories..!
Good video
I did the same with my children. I wanted them to know it's more out there than the small town we live in !
The best way to show them that is traveling and spending time together too
That little dude is gonna be a bass slayer! B.Lat 2 !
Dude he loves fishing so much
I Know that Brian Latimer is WAY to young , to Remember S&H Green Stamps ! But there used to Be a Grocery Store Chain That was called A&P Grocery ! And they had this thing , That depending on How much your Groceries were , They would give you , Green stamps ( the size of a normal stamp) to fill your "books " up with , like Bonus points ! But anyway , The only Green stamps Store , was in Asheville N.C. , about 45minutes away ! And to me , as a Little kid , Asheville was like going to Atlanta ! My Grandmaw and Grandpaw saved green stamps ! And one day we went to the Green Stamp store in Asheville !Me and my Pappaw always fished the Catawba River , Watersheds, Lake James , but just bank fished ! His yard was full of Big Ole Nightcrawlers and I'd pull a plastic Bread wrapper over my flashlight , so the light wouldn't scare em and we had a big tub with rich dirt we kept em in ! But anyway, were at the Green Stamp store , I'm thinking something for my Mam-maw , and she's looking and shopping ! Me and my pap-paw walked over to the sports department and looking at fishing stuff ! There up on the rack was a " Eagle Claw 6' Fiberglass rod , with real Cork Handles and chrome Eye's , with the Eagle Claw logo on it catching a fish with his Claws , and it had a Brand new Gen 1 first out , Stainless steel polished Zebco 33 ! My Pap-paw got it down for me and the first thing I did was shake it back and forth the see how stiff it was ! My Pap-paw got me that rod that day with 30 books of Green stamps they had been saving ! That same Rod is hanging in my Garage attic , Oiled and in a rod sock with nothing else around it , to harm it ! That rod has caught 100's of Shell cracker Bream , Catfish , Wall eye's , Bass , Trout ! It's Pushing somewhere around 50 yrs. old !
thankful everyday for the gift of LIFE
One of the things I'm most grateful for was the day the kid next door, who was a new neighbor since we'd just moved in a few months earlier and we didn't really know one another, but he saw that although I was on crutches, he noticed my uncle would take me fishing on weekends, so he said hey, do you like fishing? And I replied yes I do, and he then asked do you know how to bass fish? I said I think so, but I used to fish a lot with my uncle in upstate New York but we used Soda Cans instead of rods, but IDK if what we were catching were bass.
He said that's OK I have a couple of rods if you want to join me fishing down at Amelia Earhart Park (which was 7 looooong blocks away on crutches) down the street. I said let me ask my mom and she said yes, and we talked the whole way there and he taught me how to set up a Texas rig using a good ole Culprit Worm (THE ORIGINAL - STILL USE THEM TODAY) in Silver Shad and taught me how to work it on the retrieve, and on my first cast I hooked into a nice little 2 pounder. I knew immediately I'd be bass fishing for the rest of my life.
Although I was really already feeling it after the long crutching there, I didn't let it show and we fished for several hours that day, and to this day I am grateful for TONY TRIANA. One of the best fisherman on the planet and one hell of a friend. He didn't care that for the next 3 years I had to lug around my crutches everywhere we went.
He and I fished religiously together for several years and I have nothing be fond memories of our adventures, one of which was the day we left the headlights on in his Mom's truck while we fished the everglades, when we weren't supposed to even be driving because we were underaged! He was 15 and I was 14!!! That Miccosukee Cowboy was a total douche and we were lucky he accepted the 5 bucks we had to pay him for a jump start! 😂
I don't think there's a day that I fish that he doesn't pass through my mind at least once.
To a kid who would cry every day because he could only watch his siblings playing outside through a large plate glass window, because he couldn't partake, that day changed my life and I am forever grateful to you Tony, so THANK YOU.
4:25 he launched it! Caught on quick! 💪🏾
You’re a lucky man Brian. Those kids are adorable and clearly idolize their daddy.
You are so kind. Thanks for the love
@@BrianLatimerFishing of course brother. You’re impossible not to root for. God bless you and your family, stay safe out there.
I am grateful that my dad taught me how to fish at an early age. He was no professional fisherman, but man waking up at 4-5 am as a kid, grabbing worms and snacks......No better feeling man. We had lots of fun on the little Jon boats he had.
I still have 4 of those David fritz cranking rods. 3 are 6 6 and 1 7.0 ft
Brian where can I get the cover you have on your trolling motor cable? I have been looking but cant seem to find one I like and the one you have looks great.
The guy that rigs my boat did it. It’s called tactical sonar
Hit up Liberty Hill area. They stack up really good there
I'm grateful for the chance to Fish with my son and Grandson
My dad fished bass tournaments growing up and shared his passion with me and my brother. Growing up in Louisiana, there were always opportunities to catch a variety of fish , and boy did we ever! Those moments taught me patience, endurance, goodness and helped me find faith, joy, and peace in a world when so much is the complete opposite. I can’t help but think that Jesus knew what he was doing choosing fishermen as His disciples -so many parallels! You’re living the dream B. Lat. . . My dream!
It's crazy to see you fishing my home lake but that lake can be difficult and them fish never do what your expecting half the time. But there's also big bass in there so I wouldn't mind seeing you go back just for fun and trying to catch some or there big hybrids to that are fun to catch. If you read this hope you have a better time next time and thanks for the video man.
I actually really liked West Point! It was just a tactical error on me the first day. It’s a good lake
It’s crazy he is that little riding like that 😮 Awesome 👏🏽
He’s fearless!!!
Remember the other one riding the dirt bike. Born sportsmen.
Omg….this is awesome
Love all my Kast King products!! What are you up to these days Sir? Sure miss watching your tournament Blogs.
You miss them? I’ve documented every single tournament I’ve fished for 8 years!
@@BrianLatimerFishing gotcha.. I just haven’t noticed as much tournament activity this season as the past couple of seasons. I do stop by your page and catch up on the things that don’t pop up on my favorites. Keep up the good life buddy and keep that youngster on 2 wheels, he might become Pro one day.
My kids saw this and now they both want that bike :-D that is awesome! the kids got some skills! I know this is a fishing vid but what kind of bike is that 🙂
My favorite memory of my childhood, we were living in Philly at the time, we had a creek (Frenches Creek) which was about 20 yards from our house, I learned that using ultralight rods was really fun and never looked back. FF a year and we went to Upper PA and registered for the Order of the Jungle Cock. Great little fishing retreat for all ages that really got me into fishing. I still have the rod and reel and the tackle box I won in the raffles. I dont know who had more fun me or my Dad. I will never forget those weekends.
It’s called a stacyc
Yes I love the spirit of gratitude, I'm so grateful for my family and church family....
I got the DF browning rod, it's the 7 ft and it's still a great rod.
I still have mine!!! If it wasn’t so short I’d still use it
My story is actually from today. I just bought a used 1996 starcraft boat for a great deal so I can start taking my grandkids out fishing. I know it's not really a fishing boat but it will hold the smaller kids alot better for me so I'm very grateful for the guy who sold me a good boat for a good price so I can make those memories with the kids.
proud pappa days are always nice
What's up with the kast king reels, tryin them out?
All good so far!!!
I still have a Browning Silaflex that I bought in 1984. 😊
That rod is legit
New baitcaster tech has made them almost idiot proof. The reason older fishermen think baitcasters are harder is because even with the brakes rhe older ones were rough to learn 😂 if you wanted to cast far you had to thumb the spool right. nowadays the brake settings and tensioners are so good and so smoothe you can get away with barely feathering it. Really you can set it to not need to thumb the spool at all and still get great casts
Moto Academy always here you!
No way! You’re in the MA?
Man what on earth were those hooks you were flipping with your Texas rig?
Can't lie I'm jealous because my dad taught me how to bass fish but never fished a bass tournament with me your dad cool as heck and he had a bass boat
What is the name of the rod and real that you used during the rain out tournament and were could I purchase them? If you don't mind sharing this with me i would real appreciate it. I like the way it cast and the presentation of the real speed and line pick up. God Bless you and your family brother and Jesus loves you and I do too and there's nothing you can do about it. Thank you
I remember that bubble soap your daughter was blowing. Non toxic i believe so we didn't get sick eating the flying bubbles. Great video B. Great Dad too. ✌️
i am greatefull that i got to fish with my grand pop when i was younger.
Helment!!
Call the police
❤
Brooks already casts better than my 50 yr old fishing partner!
Little man closing the bail by hand is amazing. I see 50 year olds that don’t understand the importance of manually closing the bail on their spinning reels.
It’s a default because his little hands aren’t strong enough to turn it with the handle. THAT IS A POSITIVE. You’re not supposed to close it with the handle anyways
Sorry about so many comments but I kept thinking of stuff as I watched the video but that water was pretty muddy wasn’t it?
Oh yeah! We had lots of rain! I love it muddy like that though
up doot for dad!
Yo! I see a whole mess of new KastKing gear on deck! 👀💪🔥 You joining Brent, Skeet, James, Cliff, and Kyle on team KK!?
Maybe!
If Omnia is not paying you 1 Million dollars for that advertisement you just gave dropem!!😂😅😅 Made me download it
😂 he don’t want the Zebo 33 anymore
They are so lame to be honest. Work you to death how slow they are
Dude you got a team of riders 😅😅
I know!!!! Brooks has really taken to riding lately. Even more so since I shot this video
Get that boy a BMX BIKE he has the skill let him grip it an rip it
Which one is gonna be the motocross champion and which one is gonna be the bass master classic winner?
That’s up to them!!! Who knows
K.I.S.S. Watch out Kentucky
I'm grateful for being blessed with 6 beautiful grandkids. The Lord blessed me with the means to buy my first ever bass boat. I'm grateful for health to be able to take my grandkids out on the boat and teach them to fish. Grateful to have a mind and memory to remember the memories that I will have.
A mature Christian brother once told me "Children spell love (T I M E)." So thankful for that brother pouring into me as a new Christian.
Im grateful for making it out of the hospital back in 2018 after getting hit by a car on my four wheeler and had bad brain trauma
Retired Army guy here. I can remember my dad waking me up on Saturdays, while it was still dark, to go fishing. He'd pull the covers off my feet and thump my toes and whisper, lets go. He is also a vet, Vietnam Airforce guy. We'd only go out for for a few hours, standing under the highway bridge with my "Cane Pole" in hand 🤣 (pause). Later he'd bring my younger brother and sister, but the fact that he took the time and gave us memories of a great child hood with him. He used spinning rods but wasn't necessarily bass fishing, we'd catch more white perch and catfish than anything else ( okatibbee reservoir Meridian Miss). I am thankful for those times, fishing became a way for me to deal with being away and to deal with PTSD from IRAQ, and AFGHANISTAN Wars and being stationed all over the world. Now that I am retired, I have a bass boat and live on a lake I don't fish as much these days but plan to get back out there a bit more.

Time flies I remember when ur daughter was born
Dude, put some helmets on those kids!!!
Call the police Jimmy 🤣
@@BrianLatimerFishing weak
You’ve got great parents, Big Daddy. I’d venture a guess your children have great grand parents. 👍
Dayumm she look Just like Yo Azz Bruh!❤😂
my greatest fishing fear is all the fish die from lack of regulations.
I exprienced my greatest fear in a tournament last weekend. I lost what would have easily been big fish of the tournament and might have won me the tournament, I would have won anywhere from 900-2800 dollars. but nope. the hook simply popped out. I almost quit fishing for the day and I wanted to throw up
I'm grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. 2000 years ago God gave His son for us and we do not deserve it. I'm thankful that by God's strength and mercy we can thrive even when our circumstances fail us. Praise God and His abundant grace.
🙏🏾
Amen!
Amen
Yeah that’s great, but this is a fishing video.
Bro, get back with those guys when u first started bro. Ive watched you 2 years with only one win. Maybe 3 years now. No big win. U literally sit on stuff or dnt analyze ur areas enough, with different baits. I dnt know if u need a better arsenal of skills. Like 1lbs and 3lbs aren't gna get these things won. Ur too good of an angler to fall by guys with basic knowledge of bass fishing. Wheeler, mark, dustin, go with them again.
I think you got me confused with someone else. Thanks for watching though
You do realize 45lbs won. That’s a 3lb average. So I think you’re a bit off on your review😭
@@BrianLatimerFishingalways ab armchair qb that knows better. That of course isn't a known name un fishing. Keep being you b lat. You got this.
My Grandmother got me my first rod I live in FL and I love in shore red fishing since I was 12 or 13 every Sunday morning after church I would go home and watch these fishing shows like gone fishing with hank parker and Bill dance outdoors well in FL they would play fresh water shows like that on Sat. Morning and Sunday they would play salt water shows like fishing the flats and I remember it like it was yesterday. So I asked my grandmother if I could get an Ugly Stik Rod and a salt water Quantum Reel because I fell in love with fishing...and I remember all those great times going fishing with my grandmother and grandfather. Anywho I just wanted to say God bless you and your family b.lat and don't be to hard on yourself K.V.D said west point lake is the worst fishing hole in America lol
I was getting worried it’s been almost about a month since you posted. I need these videos man. 🫡
are you subscribed to my school? I post videos daily there.
