Well Kyle and Hunter I'm little bit older than you two . In the beginning of B.A.S.S. there was magic . Make no mistake it is not the same now . In those days it was about us . These days it's about corporate America . You weren't around then so you don't know . Even you have changed from your earlier videos . Tight lines and always pulling for T.W. !
River fishing is Amazing! I will also include sloughs. On an unrelated note. Now that 13 Fishing is no longer retailing the Envy 3 nor the Fuse, as your rods need replacing are you considering the Muse? What are your thoughts overall on that change in [Rapala's] business strategy? 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Your personality is why folks come up to at the boat ramp u dont know cause your humble and not a jackass ...keep grinding kyle pulling for ya this year hope ya get the classic to go with that AOY.👍
Been looking and looking, found you and Ms Hunter and baby W in the background. We don't care about the subject, just keep talking and we will tune in. Your favorite 82 year old fan.
Omg I want one those hats Broham 😀 I called your AOY . I told Ken Duke on his channel that you were my pick ! Ken is a Walters guy , but you and Wheeler are my favorite Anglers ! Loved the video you did with Wheeler ! I see another AOY or a Classic win this year . I’m an old man , but I enjoy how you speak as a young man ! I watched you all day on The NPFL stream ! Good luck this year 😀
My grandfather used to love fishing west point lake and lake harding after a big rain. He would take me when it rained he would always say they would bite good during a rain.
I had a fishing guide Bob Troupe hired for a spring outing on the Potomac River May late 80s. It had rained for a week and the river was BROWN and swollen. I expected him to cancel but he was confident. He said the fish have adjusted to the conditions and if I wanted to cancel that was ok but he was going fishing! Im glad I went, He taught me that the fish hold tight to cover and we caught Quality fish all day! Thank you Bob Troupe!
Bass and Mlf are no longer selling a dream. Now it has become a sport that only a wealthy person can pursue. Boat 100k, truck 80k, opens for one year 35k, Federation Anglers now paying for divisionals and nationals, scoping is expensive and boring for the viewer, etc.
The title should be, Bassmaster - Fishing without FFS and I know it sounds WILD n CRAZY, but....what if...they didn't use FFS and scopes for the whole tourney. From what I understand, the reason they stopped doing the surprise lake thing was because it got so big that there were fans that wanted to come and they needed to be able to buy plane tickets and hotels and that ahead of time and lack of knowledge ahead of time made some of the later years of it especially kinda difficult to catch fish and good ones and at that if everyone is just catching lil guys that fan base would dry up.....now they have dried up the fans from coming with all the scoping and sonar. I still go back and watch the old 70s, 80s and 90s Bassmaster classic's, they were the best, before the digital takeover and when the people really used to show up and show out for it, back in the days of the GOAT Rick Clunn, Lary Nixon, Hank Parker, even the prodigy who was taken too soon Bryan Kerchal, those guys would wipe the floor of almost anyone now if there was no scopes or sonar, I'd love to see them do some throwback stuff or a Netflix type of thing like F1 racing. If they wanna go digital they should go FULL SEND into it then or get rid of it.
Man I remember when I was one of the ONLY people that went looking for the clear water. I've fished tournaments and It would be me and maybe 3 boats in the clean water. Now EVERYONE looks for the clear water I go looking for the dirty. LOL
Last thing…. I watched several of those Bassmaster classic archives or whatever they’re called. Where they didn’t know the lake and it just seem like a good fun exciting time for everyone involved. I agree. Bring that back. I think the fans would eat that up. That’s all I got to say.
I love dirty water! Why would you not? Call me crazy, but I like cold and dirty. Makes it super tough, but once you figure out what trips their trigger, it's on!
As to your statement, its just about who buys the best quality boat/electronics it seems anymore. Ive fished with Legends who I was just happy to be in the back of their boat. Been on stage with Ray Scott. (he was bigger then life). Fisherman from that era had more intuition from using their brains as they didnt have the electronics available today. WE were all surprised when we found out were the winning fish where caught. Now, you just look it up on the internet..
It’s fun when you don’t deep dive into the corporate side of the fishing industry. Local tournaments and fruit jar tournaments are fun. It’s always nice to go out on the lake on Saturdays as well. Stay away from the corporate side and problem solved.
I've been around awhile started fishing in 90 and I've been eaten up with it ever since then.. Fishing has saved my life quite literally. I can honestly say if something doesn't change with FFS competitive Bass Fishing is gonna change across the board and not just on your level. What is happening with FFS is only bad for the sport and it is that serious. When anglers with no foundation of skills are beating tour level anglers on a regular basis it's a negative thing. Not to mention what is happening with pressure and bass that otherwise would not be getting caught, period. When you can stare at a screen and watch bass react to everything you throw at them in real time nothing good fir the sport is gonna come from that. Many will disagree because FFS makes fishing exponentially easier for them but it's fact.
Can I get one of those hats please Kyle, You might not remember me, i met you on hartwell lake when you was practicing you were near brown road, and I asked you about jigs and you gave me one, and it changed the way I fished I’m grateful for the time that morning
Nice finish in the NPFL. You really showin off the crush city hat while wearing a KW fishing hat and not one word about it. Hunter the hammer was feelin it. Great job Hunter keepin track of lincoln and KDub. I would love to see a elite series charity Husband and Wife trnmt. Know what else I would like to see. The link to those dadgum KW FISHING HATS. #teamwelcher #Nannarocks
It would not take millions to shoot a show like that hell I know RUclips channels that could produce it and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference and cost a tenth of the price!
Hahahahaha I'm waiting for the 6th season to drop this month. And I agree Netflix is great on the DocuSeries. We somehow become invested and attached to the the Athletes. BASS should do docuseries on anglers.
Talking about. Having every one on elites. Go somewhere one tournament. 2 rods. Only certain amount of tackle. In the summer drop all you guys off. In the middle. L. K. Of the woods. 😄😄. There’s small an large mouth there. But it’s a. Walleye. Muskie destination
I think they should invest more in marketing. For instance a major circuit came to my home lake and unless you were into professional bass fishing you would have never known they were here. Other than the pimp boats driving around. They should pay radio host and TV commercials about it being in town.
The problem with professional bass fishing is it's heading in a direction that isn't relatable to the average fishermen. All these boat walkthroughs of these 300k truck/boat rigs is unobtainable to 90% of fisherman. It's like all the big names in the industry are oblivious to this. (Not saying you are) I just think the average tournament angler or just everyday angler are having trouble finding someone to get behind or see a real chance at doing this because of this.
Welcher you are the freaking man!! Straight up man!! A guy like me can really appreciate the I don't know realness maybe. Anyways thanks for the truth bombs and just keeping it real brother!!
And crush em’ even better this year…. I understand with the angler of the year trophy that is a tall order. But I would assume that is the goal nonetheless. Good luck to you and God bless.
Damn, I love y’all’s video, I live on Pickwick, do you live on the Tennessee River too?? It’s been rolling, yeah ledge fishing on Pickwick is just up and down, I fished on it for 40 years
Count me in! Anything having to do with bass fishing I am watching. That would be super cool if they did another mystery lake and fly all the anglers to destination. I am pretty good with the history of BASS. I am sure it is kinda weird because I can not only remember the pros names but where they are from. I think I would rule on a BASS trivia game!😂I am definitely digging the Cast TV show. It really brings back a lot of great memories.
Great video!!! Like the idea Hunter & you had about Bassmasters getting all the same boats so that all anglers have same equipment and go fish. I think it would be a great idea!! Also thanks for the tips on dirty water fishing. Something new I've learned and will remember. 🤠👍 Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
This is the first video I've seen of yours but really liked it. You have a new subscriber now. I really miss the old days of fishing. Today is way more technical but the old days had mystery to it. It was way more fun.
Well Kyle and Hunter I'm little bit older than you two . In the beginning of B.A.S.S. there was magic . Make no mistake it is not the same now . In those days it was about us . These days it's about corporate America . You weren't around then so you don't know . Even you have changed from your earlier videos . Tight lines and always pulling for T.W. !
Yes, I miss the Truth Series. Now. It's selling this product and that.
100% ! Everything today is about corporate America.
Congrats on your 7th place finish on Logan Martin NPFL !!!
Always enjoy TEAM WELCHER video productions...keep up the great work & BEST WISHES !!!
River fishing is Amazing! I will also include sloughs. On an unrelated note. Now that 13 Fishing is no longer retailing the Envy 3 nor the Fuse, as your rods need replacing are you considering the Muse? What are your thoughts overall on that change in [Rapala's] business strategy? 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Man when you find a hat that fits right you wear it till it falls apart 😂😂
Your personality is why folks come up to at the boat ramp u dont know cause your humble and not a jackass ...keep grinding kyle pulling for ya this year hope ya get the classic to go with that AOY.👍
Why is bass fishing no longer fun? Well it is obvious. Forward facing sonar is the clear answer.
Been looking and looking, found you and Ms Hunter and baby W in the background. We don't care about the subject, just keep talking and we will tune in. Your favorite 82 year old fan.
Omg I want one those hats Broham 😀 I called your AOY . I told Ken Duke on his channel that you were my pick ! Ken is a Walters guy , but you and Wheeler are my favorite Anglers !

My grandfather used to love fishing west point lake and lake harding after a big rain. He would take me when it rained he would always say they would bite good during a rain.
that camera woman's voice, some time you gotta interview her. So we can put a face to the voice.
She’s been on a ton of videos
You guy's are right. The only tounaments I watch are the old Basmaster shows from te 80's and 90's. That was cool.
Nice video and I think you should do some give away to some of your subs on the crushcity hats.

Saltwater flats fishing is where it’s at. No livescope just your eyes.
Kinda off topic but why has many major whole sellers not selling 13 products in 24?

Please consider me for a crush city hat!!! Rooting for you brother!!
Can I get one of those hats please Kyle,
You might not remember me, i met you on hartwell lake when you was practicing you were near brown road, and I asked you about jigs and you gave me one, and it changed the way I fished I’m grateful for the time that morning
Im a fan of the way RS used to do things............not a fan of where this game is sitting this very second......we ll see in time where it settles
Love watching the channel and your right it makes you guys personable
Keep it up the great videos
Tight lines this year!
Kyle you should give away autographed hats to the subscribers, I know i would personaly love to have one.
How about one of them hats signed to add to my collection?????????
Fishing small lakes and ponds with a dmall boat is so much funner. Nothing like wading a creek!
Fuji hat is your lucky hat. You made money moves wearing that hat.
No longer FUN because it's your job now..work work work.
Weather and water clarity are paramount. Always make this top in your mind and decision making.
I beg for dirty water as soon as the water temperature is consistently over 50.
Nice finish in the NPFL. You really showin off the crush city hat while wearing a KW fishing hat and not one word about it. Hunter the hammer was feelin it. Great job Hunter keepin track of lincoln and KDub. I would love to see a elite series charity Husband and Wife trnmt. Know what else I would like to see.

Put out the schedule and no practices would be the fire, figuring it out on the fly
So when did y’all have a baby? Didn’t know n hadn’t heard about it.. Congrats i
🔥Shit!!! But on a serious note I
digress you said DT20 tell me? 😅 I need it in TX! As well as ledges ⛽️
It would not take millions to shoot a show like that hell I know RUclips channels that could produce it and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference and cost a tenth of the price!
Fishing is longer fun anymore when it becomes work.
Mead isn't far from vegas. That should be your go to 🎉
I love dirty water. They want clean water so they can live scope
Your girlfriend is a good one she knows how a video supposed to work!
This was a great video ! Bass fishing will never be as cool as it was in the old days
Can’t believe you watch Opra …
I need one of those hats Kyle . I just bought a lot of the crush city baits
Hope you get your first win and back up AOY this year. Always rooting for you bud.

121 labutte street plattenville La.

free loader toledo
I think they should do away with the practices
Can I please have some unwanted hats bro?
We need a KW PODCAST in fishing 🤌🏻
HUNTER: make kyle do a video about his run in the opens when he got through.
That’s a good idea! I’ll get right on it
Go to chick and practice ledges
I would take a coupe of Hats for sure!😅
Where can we get the hat your wearing?
Women have shoes, men have hats lol
I don't mind dirty water all.
Jason Christie says home court advantage is gone with live scope now. What’s your take on it
Didn't Scott Martin just win big on his home water? He and his father have been guiding down there for decades I believe
Sign one of them hats and send it to me lol
Bass, the Final Cut
Love those baits. Throw one this way!
There he is. Been waiting on a new video 💪🏽🎣
I want a hat!! Lol. I ordered your line from sunline from your AOY. Love the content as always. My dad loves you by the way. Good luck this year bro.
😡 P r o m o S M
Reserve one of those crush city hats for me. I'll pick it up at Toledo from you 😂
I will gladly take whatever hats you need to get rid of 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha I'm waiting for the 6th season to drop this month. And I agree Netflix is great on the DocuSeries. We somehow become invested and attached to the the Athletes. BASS should do docuseries on anglers.

Get together with Jason Lambert on Kentucky Lake for a couple of days, I think you’ll get along really well 🤷🏻♂️❤️🔥🎣

I am in
Welcher you are the freaking man!! Straight up man!! A guy like me can really appreciate the I don't know realness maybe. Anyways thanks for the truth bombs and just keeping it real brother!!
Keowee Bfl 2020 the week of your first elite had 6” on my deck in 20 min. It dumped lol but they were chewing
And crush em’ even better this year…. I understand with the angler of the year trophy that is a tall order. But I would assume that is the goal nonetheless. Good luck to you and God bless.
Damn, I love y’all’s video, I live on Pickwick, do you live on the Tennessee River too?? It’s been rolling, yeah ledge fishing on Pickwick is just up and down, I fished on it for 40 years

Living the life with a sweet supportive woman. Thats the key to a successful life
I love dirty water and a Crush City Hat🙏👍❤️🔥👍
Kyle man let me try out one of your point blank rods since they are collecting dust. I live in Collierville so at times we're both close to herbs.🤞
Hardest part of ledge fishing is getting em to bite once they're beat up. U can find em but making em bite is another deal
You're going to love Toledo its on fire and is dirty... Great video as always keepem coming guys!!!
Hat variance is such a true thing! Especially Richardsons. Hate when one doesn’t fit me right
Our money is not based on the gold standard anymore. We have a fiat currency system now.
This is the first video I've seen of yours but really liked it. You have a new subscriber now. I really miss the old days of fishing. Today is way more technical but the old days had mystery to it. It was way more fun.
Did you get to pre practice for Toledo Bend? I think it's going to set up perfectly for your strength.
Hey give one of them hats to sonya so she can give it to Jennifer so she can give it to me.
Some people don't like dirty water or the cold around here hahaha.
Ya'll are craazzzyyyy! Some good ideas for the future of bass fishing. Good luck again this year Kyle and Hunter and little man
These are my favorite videos you guys do...keep it up!
Did yall have a baby and not tell anyone? Lol
😂 yes kinda
I would love to have a autographed aoy kyle welcher hat!!!
The old school style classic would be awesome to watch but it needs to be its own thing you can’t get rid of the classic the way it is now is great.
Dang! I want a hat. I don’t even know where you drive the truck you throw them out of.
Kentucky lake is a ledge fishing hole!
Can you explain ledge fishing. Define a ledge
Hat Variance is a Thing! Agreed 100%
Totally agree with the hat comment!! They aren't all the same!
Let me get a hat. Awesome fishing vids.
I agree not knowing the lake one or 2 tournaments a year would be cool
