The Truth About Lake St. Clair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Lake St. Clair is a Smallmouth FACTORY and I highly recommend visiting. Stop #7 didn't go as planned but we still have two more events up north to prove ourselves. I don't know how a man from Oklahoma wins a Smallmouth derby but we are going to give it one hell of a shot!

Good outing at Champlain, tough breaks and still made the cut, keep grinding buddy
Love hearing you say those 4 words, " I'm not a quitter".
Good luck !!

I enjoy watching your videos and keeping up with you on basstrakk during tournaments and at the end of day leaderboard. Remember to take a setback (2023) and turn it into a comeback (2024). Good luck!
Go get em Hallman
You the man 🤙
Chin up my friend, keep on grinding!!
hang in there! you are a hell of a angler
Hey Bradley, better days are coming and that’s a fact. I’ve watched a lot of your videos about what to, where to, when to and what to do when things are not going right and I know that you have great knowledge and experience about BASS fishing
and I know you will get things going your way very soon!!! Pulling for you very hard and intense!!!
Go out and find enjoyment in the grind and in the process of figuring it out. Remember to have fun working hard, you seem to be in a good place mentally even if you haven't had the year you wanted. Your day will come!
YOU JUST HAD A GREAT EVENT AT CHAMPLAIN, SO THINGS ARE ON THE UP AND UP. NO DOUBT FISHING IS THE MOST HUMBLING SPORT OUT THERE. JUST KEEP GRINDING MAN
Bradley "My Man" Hallman!!!!
Aye you pick yourself up and move on to the next one! Keep focused on the goal everything is peaches and cream! Things will start clicking here soon!
Appreciate your Bradley!! I’ve been checking the standing for you bro and I will do the same for next year just waiting for you to freak show them bad boys!!
The good is coming! I love the honesty, usually it’s excuses from most. I’ll keep watching and supporting. Tight lines.
I can hear and FEEL in your voice how tough that was to sit in front of that camera and do that report. They say that strength comes through adversity. Be strong, try to keep your head up and I pray you find success in your efforts.
You shared that you liked it dearly.
Sorry it has been so tough!. Appreciate your honesty but as you know, it is all about the attitude. Best of luck on the St. Lawrence, nice comeback on Champaign. That live well snafu pretty much sums up your season. I am pulling for you!😊
Love ya man! ... keep on kicking it!
Top 50 this week bro! Keep scratching and clawing. It’s life sometimes.
Chin up...we're pulling for ya.
With the bad comes the good. Kept you on my fantasy all year. Your a great example for these young kids coming up. Got a feeling it will all turn around next year.
Man I just want to thank you for bringing us along on your journey. I look forward to every video
I was one of your biggest supporters during the opens and that hasn’t changed, it will happen for you in the elites …I know it
You just keep going we support you no matter what 💪😊
I will echo your comments. Me, my dad, and my son made our first ever destination smallmouth trip to St. Clair the week before the BASS event. This was our first ever smallmouth trip and drove all the way from Houston, TX to do it. Worth every dollar spent for the memories. It's an amazing place and we will be back sooner than later. Incredible fishing. Watching the event go down let me know just how close we were to the juice and yet so far away. I learned a lot about smallmouth and forward facing sonar and anytime you can get three generations in the boat together on a place like this for 5 days is priceless.
Keep your head high...
Good to hear the absolute honesty. Good vibes going your way. Have fun damn it.
Definitely improvement at 2 ND to last one 50% improvement..now head to the st Lawrence and finish strong
Keep fighting
You’re all class brother. These are times when the old, cheesy advice takes on new meaning… “Just go out there and have fun.”
I love hearing about it, good or bad. I appreciate you making the videos. I’m always looking to see where you’re at. Keep fighting buddy.
Like MDJ said this week after what he went through this season to barely making redcrest. “All popcorn pops at different times” stay in the heat and you will soon pop on some good luck as well. I spoke to you in the stumphole swamp back in spring when you were practicing. I was sitting on a bed of slab shellcracker wearing em out.
Much respect for you. You are a very talented fisherman. If not you would not be setting where your at. There are a lot of people that believe in you. Thanks for being so real.
Alot respect for you Brad,I know ots hard to face the camera on a really tough year,but we all know just as well as you do just how good you are,put it behind you and just worry about the next 1,good luck brother
been rooting for you all year. Stay positive, it will turn around, and it looks like next event treated you better, 43, made the cut.
Can't wait to see you smack them next year
Brad, thanks for your efforts and honesty. I know it’s been rough, but character is built through adversity! Your character is strengthening and showing itself. Let these next two be the start of a new attitude of the positivity and drive that got you here! Time to focus HARD on your expertise with forward facing sonar! Blessing and good luck!
Stay up. There are millions of bass fisherman that wish they could be where you are at. You got this and deserve to be there! Head high and shoulders back. We are proud of what you have done.
It is going to turn around because you won’t quit. Old men make mistakes but like you said you never stop learning. You have been so honest so thank you for sharing Hallman. Your fans… and there are lots more than you can probably imagine this fishing fandom thing is real. We hurt when you hurt brother. We also believe in your abilities or we wouldn’t be here. It will come. Trust YOUR process! It got you there through a freaking gauntlet. Don’t forget that.
There’s a reason the windshield is so big and the rearview mirror is small! Pow pow and on to the next one.
It's not an accident that you got paid at Champlain, considering the attitude you displayed in this video. I'm always rooting for you, and maybe Panger picking you in his fantasy was good luck.
What song is your out-tro? Gotta love it!
Hoss I know it can be a grind but keep your head up and keep looking forward and keep on living the dream. And if you do happen to look into the rear view remember how you fought your way in the opens and that you belong in the elites.
Keep grinding man. I know you don’t need to hear that but people got your back and are rooting for you.
You and I spoke on Gibson a month and half ago. I told you we are behind you and know this thing is gonna turn around. Well I’m glad to see you find some success / momentum this week and make the day 2 cut on Champlain. Now go get a finals cut on St. Lawrence. Keep swinging on em. Okies are rooting for ya! Good luck brother!
Love watching your vids with honest comments. Tough year for sure. Me thinks you're going to need to re-sharpen those smallie skills to gain crucial points. Especially knowing 3 of 9 events were going to be smallies to win. There's always next year!
I have heard a lot of good fishermen saying the same thing; "It's been a grind !" Pray things will get better.
They say you see the true character of someone in times of adversity, not during times of success. You've been the same. Never hid. Never made excuses. That's a tribute to you and your character. I'm a coach who basically subscribes to the belief that if you're not getting the results you want, you just have to go back to work and keep grinding. Nothing gets better with complaining. Everybody can learn and grow from failure. Keep keeping on.
Head High! Chaumont Bay awaits you.
You are a great fisherman don’t loose your mind. You will bounce back before you know it. Relax and do what you know 🎣
It's really hard to stay consistent all year when it seems like you're in a hole. You know you are a great angler, just need to turn that corner and get things going in a positive direction. You know and we know you can do it.
Head up Bradley !
What you go thru next, cannot be compared, to what you have already overcome.
Stop tripping over what’s behind you.
Yesterday is a canceled check.
Tomorrow is a promissory note.
Today is cash in your hand.
Use what GOD has given you today, so when you look back over your life, you can testify.
“If it had not been!”
A man from any walk of life or any geographical area can win a tournament in unfamiliar territory . You got this . If it was easy everyone would be a pro . Just remember win or not there is thousands to millions that would love to be in your position just to loose and be happy loosing . And your having a steady year . Keep looking forward. What happened yesterday can’t help you with what you need to do today.
I got to working with some stainless steel pipework of late (compared to copper, synthetic Uponor, galv steel heating pipework etc or anything plumbers deal with, it's a lot different). The welders in that field though are the best, high purity argon and such. I've a lot to learn on it. I've not managed these kinds of jobs before. Getting to learn to adapt a bit too.
The Essential Craftsman undertook a significant metalwork project, a new steel gate post and entrance. Fabricated his own base plates, and every piece of the construction. Re-using some old wide flanged I-beam lengths, that were cleaned up. Very educational to follow this fabrication process.
A colleauge of Kevin Feenstra in the northern part of country, an angler of seven decades who is named Jac Ford. Jac provided a decent informal seminar on baitfish and forage species for fish in north America (multiple species and multiple States). I was added to the Anchored Outdoors library in recent weeks I noticed, and it's a good compliment to Kevin's take on the subject (Jac also recommended Kevin's book on the bait fish as being an excellent reference to understand the subject). In some sense, I believe what you're witnessing with FFS now in gear tackle angling for bass. Is what we've seen in the non-competition based 'fly fishing' part of the sport now for some decades. Or where anglers have tried to iimitate the forage with appropriate types of baits, and make casts that target directly to where the fish are located. I never looked at it this way before. What the technology of the sonar instruments seem to do though. Is to turn what is a flat stillwater lake, into something that resembles much more like river wade fishing with fly rods. Generally in rivers we tend to know where to cast and what casts to make (and that's the problem for the river angler, because we never developed what is known as a pattern approach to fishing). Our kind of fishing was imitative of the forage base, and target-oriented kind of fishing from the start (that's why we use strange things called 'fly lines' and 'fly rods'). It's not stubborness. It's a means to gain much more control over presentation of baits, than it is possible to get with gear tackle. Simply put.
The biggest concern on the fly fishing side, was that the fly fishing was becoming corrupted with ideas from gear tackle angling. In particular, ideas that came from crankbait and square bill types of fishing. When I look at gear tackle angling though, and the politics around Forward Facing instruments and gadgets. The more clear it becomes to me. That in fact what has happened is that gear tackle angling, has become corrupted by ideas. That have been present in fly fishing for a lot longer.
Been a tough year for you. You will bounce back you did make it cause your not good at what your doing. Tks for what your doing and hope to run into on dirty bird sometime.
Bowfishing is heard but it can get you as today as the season moves experience
St. Clair is overrated IMO. Just a bunch of screen watchers and lucky spots. 1 lb separates 10th place and 50th. Doesn’t really test the skill set of an angler. Shouldn’t even be on the tournament trail.
I somewhat agree that it might not be the best lake for tournaments (just due to the vast numbers of fish) but as far as a bass catching lake it is FAR from over-rated. They don’t call it Smallmouth Disneyland for nothing.
