I have a signature rod now. Hope you guys will give it a try!

Will do
I'm going to purchase this rod just because of this video. Congrats to you bro
I love you brother but I need you to make that rod in 6’
Thanks, but no thanks. I follow the rule- NO CHINESE MADE RODS! I prefer rod blanks made in USA by hand. Gary Loomis is GOD! Another great rod company is Airrus. I still have a great collection of U.S. made Falcon rods and today all of their rods are made in China and I won't buy another. MudHole makes all their rods in China as well and I won't touch theirs either. The problem with Chinese made rods is American companies cannot get the Chinese to adhere to strict quality controls. So what happens is that the Chinese companies who can't understand a word of English make a bunch of rods and ship the entire production run to USA and the U.S. brand then has to sort through each and every rod they receive and do their own quality control in USA and reject rods that don't measure up. Todd Vivian at MudHole has to do this with every shipment since he does not make the rods stateside. The Chinese simply do not have high quality control standards and we saw it again when St. Croix tried making rods in China and failed miserably because of this very reason and has now moved production of much of their lineup to Mexico where they can have a more direct oversight on quality controls. So, yeah, no thanks on the Chinese rods. I hope next time you get a rod sponsor that you sign up with a company that makes all their rods IN the USA. Call Gary Loomis or Alex Maslov at North Fork Composites! Or call up Airrus rods and get hooked up to the highest quality most advanced rods on the planet made in USA only. Just sayin'... and congratulations on that win! Amazing! Great accomplishment!
I'd like to add, that take Falcon rods as an example- When they made rods in USA and made a high quality product they had a specific price point. Once they moved production to China and began making cheaper lower quality rods, Falcon did not lower the price point to match where their costs now were. So what happened is that now Falcon had lower expenses on each rod, but still wanted to sell them at the same price point as their former quality U.S. made rods. In other words making increased profits now by making each rod now come with an artificially inflated price that was not in line with the product any longer. MudHole and American Tackle do the same thing. And it is costing them business. Fishermen I speak to and rod builders all call American Tackle- China Tackle because ALL of their products are made in China and have no connection to anything USA other than the company selling that stuff. Again, prices are artificially inflated unreasonably. Go to Walmart and look at the prices for cheap chinese rods. This is where MudHole and Falcon pricing should also be at and possibly Favorite brand rods as well. These companies seem to expect me to pay them artificially inflated prices for cheaply made chinese rods with lower quality controls. If I want cheap chinese rods I can go to Walmart and Academy Sports and Dick's and buy a boat load of cheap chinese rods with prices more in line for the product. I remember back when Fishing13 came out with their first Omen Black rods and I wanted one, but the problem is virtually every single one them had tips snapping off. I decided real fast to forget about any Fishing13 rods made in China. It is a shame we have American citizens making all of their products in foreign countries and jacking up the prices artificially and intentionally taking advantage of us all by doing so. And it is for this reason that if I am going to spend the big bucks on fishing rods, then I expect higher quality and more bang for the buck and I expect my rod blanks to be handmade in USA by real Americans. Just my opinion on the subject. Favorite brand rods are not made in USA and they want how much per rod? Yeah not happening. For those prices, I am calling Gary Loomis.
Very rarely do I watch an entire 30 minute video on UA-cam...but I can't stop watching this one, happy for you brother
Lojo fishing fam
LOJO uncle LOJO
Same here!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I've watched the final weigh like back to back! To back to back !
BLKCFII why does it have to be color based?? Why must it be based on race? What can the fish see your skin color? Or was it because B had wonderful parents that showed him about what these beautiful lakes can hold, and showed him how to be a MAN and not beat in his head you can’t do this or that cause of the “White man” will stop you.. like come on! That’s what’s wrong with the world, everything is someone else’s fault.....
Bro this touched me to see a black man have success like that it brings me to tears my brother I'm so happy to see you accomplish your goals fishing it feels good to see people that looks like me doing this I love to fish myself and u make want to go out do things. Keep being a king for your Queen and for your kids. Love you bro stay humble and blessed 🙏🏾
If you don't get chills upon hearing the winning weight announcement after watching the home video at the beginning, you're not human.
His wife's happiness for him is so real. Love some B-Lat.
For real she a blessing. Cuz all women don't do that
This video should be on ESPN's 30/30. Great job, hit right in the feels.
I agree..
Hands down!! He is as real as it gets!!
facts
When I seen you catch that huge one and say "God loves me" brother that made me smile so big. God is Great brother and God bless you and your family. Great videos and keep up the good work. You recently inspired me to fish again. I'm from South Florida but came out to Iowa. I just called my Pop and made a date to go fishing together for the first time in over 15 years. I'll be heading to Florida in 2 weeks to fish with my dad. Thanks B.Lat
bruhhhhh that bass won me the tournament!
@@BrianLatimerFishing I know it did that fish was a monster. When you whipped it out of the bag at the end I know it felt so good. It was pretty funny too when you said "hold on I wanna look cool" while fixing your glasses just before pulling out the tank. Good stuff bro and like I said great content.
Freedom Gun Talk im in iowa lets fish!
How was the trip bro? And how’s ur pops doing?
Brother, I was in tears watching this...the memories of my father taking me out on the lake. I am just getting back into this and I have a 12 year old with autism, but he just caught his first 7 lb catfish. The excitement and joy across his face was priceless. It's been 10 years since Dad passed and just tonight I found his tackle box at his house...I had no idea I would be overwhelmed with emotions and just stand there and cry...I am soooo happy your father was there to see this!! I now need to do what you, your father, and mine did...share this awesome sport with mine. Congrats B.Latimer!!
Unfortunately these days more and more kids are being born with impairments. I don't believe in coincidences so we need to figure out what we are doing to cause this for the future of our children
Glad you can put smiles on his face. Your a hero in my book
I’m an almost 60 year old grown man and this win brought me to tears. Thank You Lord, thank You Jesus! This shows what hard work and faith can get you. Thank you B for sharing.

Hey folks sorry but there's some type of bug on my channel and the premier option didnt work. So I can't do the live chat with you guys like i was looking forward to. I'll try to respond to as many comments as possible for the next hour or so. Maybe we'll do a follow up video with some details on baits and just fun fishing talk. comment below if that's something you'd like to see me do!
Dang lol was really lookin forward to that.. you should still try another live chat sometime if you can figure out the bugs.. much love 👌👌
Hey bro great job on tourney and vid. Thanks for posting with emotion. It's awsome to see. Also maybe do top 10 most memorable fish. And baits that caught them. Anyway bro keep em comin and good luck for the rest.
Please?
A bro your like the Michael Jordan of fishing.
Your going to be a legend.
I can tell your also a fisherman of men. GODISLOVE
Big bro Lat where's the location of the turnpike pond l live here in Orlando.
I still tear up watching this victory B-Latt. Congrats man. Probably the coolest moment I've seen in any sport.
bro I've cried every time I've seen it!
Bro I’m such a titbag.
@@BrianLatimerFishing I love bass fishing but dont have a insane income. Can you tell me a reel and rod combo that's affordable and can bring in some big fish
@@BrianLatimerFishing we love ya brain fr man
The passion this man has is absolutely insane.
We're all crying too buddy. Great job. You're a true inspiration.
That old VHS that you have included in his video is amazing. Truly shows your love and passion that you have for this. Love everything that you been doing. You deserve this.
B Lat this is hands down my favorite video I have seen of a an angler. Sir you are an inspiration, and watching you share that moment with your family was awesome. I'm usually not a emotional person but you had me in tears right along with you. Keep doing what you love. You are such a positive role model for these younger anglers and even if you never meet them I guarantee you are changing lives. Keep it positive and keep the videos coming.
thanks for those words man. surely my most favorite to share!
I don't get teared up over much in this world, but seeing the moment a man realizes his lifelong dream, yeah, that gets me every time.
I’m a new angler and this right here was truly inspiring. You showed true grit, dedication, and emotion. You overcame adversity and that’s what it’s about! You’re A Goat in my book brother!💪🏿🎣
Totally Awesome. God is good! Great job and inspiring. You are inspiring.
right bro. got has nothing better to do so he is playing with fishes...how can anybody be so stupid...
@MIXI 11
I realize your comment is half a year old...but come on, man. 😑
B Lat is such a down to earth and humble gentleman. I’m not a believer either, dude. But some people are; like Mr. Latimer. Learn to respect that. And he goes about his beliefs in a humble and thankful manner whilst not possessing some holier than thou attitude like yourself.
Brian,
Thank you for sharing. Every time I see the look on your wife’s face as they are weighing the fish and her struggle to keep it together is precious - behind every great man is a greater woman. You are blessed in so many ways. When you won you snatched up your son and huddled with your wife and baby, that says a lot about your priorities in life and as a man. I did not know your dad was there. I would have loved to have seen when you got together with him. I’ll bet the emotions flowed then.
Who in the hell did not like this video? BLAT is the real deal. Beautiful moments. Historical. The Time is NOW!!!
10:20: reals in monster fish
10:40: pure emotion.
That’s why we love we sport.
You’re an absolute professional buddy keep up the stellar work!!
"Adversity is dope" what a great message/outlook not just for fishing but life in general. Great stuff B Latt!!
Your mom seems very nice and proud of you when u caught that bass from when u were a kid
Heart, passion and a glory for christ inspires me and thousands of others. The best is yet to come and know in my heart you'll be sharing many many moments like this. Congratulations
I have a new favorite fisherman. Thanks Brian. It's so uncommon for me to be legitimately happy for great sports accomplishments because so many people are entitled and lack gratitude and joy for their sport. You are refreshing. Congrats on every level. Nothing but respect.
The laugh you had holding that bass up as a kid was funny as hell.
That intro was AWESOME!
I know I'm a year late but congrats B Lat!
"They don't wanna talk. Let's weigh!" 😆😆
Man I have watched that winning moment probably 4-5 times now since it happened and You have me all in my feelings every time, it was an amazing moment and I’m grateful that you shared that with us all. What an amazing ride and I can’t wait for the next!
Not too tough of a man to admit the end of this brought tears to my eyes. Knowing how much it meant to you and all the hard work you've put in; no one deserves it more than you brother! You're one of the main reasons I picked up fishing again after 15yrs. Keep doing what you do and remember adversity makes you a stronger man!
Know this was year ago, but started watching your informative fishing videos. You never gave up on your dreams.
2023 Brian I want to see that amazing Enthusiasm on that Stage again my friend I can’t wait..!! Semper Fidelis
Good 1 my boy I like watching you I'm in Gainesville FL congrats on the win 💯💯 💯💯 💯
I want to meet you in person. You are such a good guy. One of my hero’s. One day I will be fishing in the flw.
Praise the Lord Brother I seen you bow down on the front of your boat and ask God I seen you praise him on the front of your boat brother and the Lord heard your prayer and he opened the doors of heaven and he let blessings come upon you it is amazing how I stumbled across your videos and your UA-cam channel today keep moving forward brother you have a wonderful family who supports you and I really enjoy watching your video and I will make sure that I stay tuned to your Channel God bless you
I'm an Army Ranger and I just shed a tear watching a fricking fishing video.....you the man B. Lat!
Watching from Australia, keep up the work, God bless you and your family
wow that's awesome man! I can't wait to fish there one day
Thanks you for the reply, we would love to take you fishing one day. We are lucky to live near some of the best fishing this country has to offer.
To feel your ENERGY is amazing... love what your doing. Keep grindin
thanks for taking the time to stop and watch man!
lmfao when he won he was in his own little world, not the 2nd place guy not the announcer, just pure joy. i love the fact that the first person he does go for is his son, and his wife. youre living my dream brother....not just the fishing, but the family.
I've never commented on any UA-cam video I've ever watched until now. Every little boy or little girl of color needs to see this if they have one iota of curiosity to go fishing! Every fisherman, every sports fan and every American should watch this video -- it's incredible! Wiping away tears now...
Boy you made me cry again. Great job. It's more wins to come for you brother.
One of the best UA-cam videos I've ever seen. Congrats man you deserve all of it. I hope you win 50 more
I don't even care that this is 2 years ago. This is such an excellent documentary. Outstanding.
My favorite moment in bass fishing history.. I could watch it 1000000 times and it will never get old!!! We all love you B.Lat!!!
Class thing to say about your dad! Congratulations!
hes my dad man!
I must have missed when you dropped this. What an incredible job, filming and editing this remarkable 30 minutes. Truly happy for you and your family.
I know this is 2 years later but I love watching you fish Brian. You put all the feels in fishing. I seen the title...knew you won it, but just watching the video and going through your side of the story made me forget all about the title of the video. You missed some and felt defeated but you kept digging. There's more to this than winning a fishing tournament. This is a great example of how to keep digging even if you're behind in life. There's always a chance to win.
I'm no professional angler, I'm just an ordinary fisherman. But it would be awesome to shake your hand someday. You're a real gift to the fishing community.
The best thing I have watched in a very long time. Truly great. Blessed.
Ok I had to comment first because I was waiting all day for this video to drop, so this is my second comment and warning there will be some grown up words, I'm a fan of not many but the things and people I am a fan of I'm die hard better yet never die!!! Hell I'm a Cowboy Fan, but also a Kaepernick supporter so your FLW Victory was my Superbowl BLat!!! Brother you are a Fucking ALLSTAR to me! I have your finesse kit, I have Duke Cannon, my girl says I'm creepy because I follow you everywhere but all I do is work and Fish, and you and Mark Daniels are my idols in Bassin and I'm 10 years older than both y'all lmao, but I don't care!!! I watched the entire weekend shared the videos on FB and became a Top Fan on the FLW Page!!! And I just watched this video and relived the entire week and I'm sitting here crying for you, Chelle, and the Little B Brothers all over again!!! So if I'm creepy for being a fan of you and your family well hell let me be creepy then because you guys are the best in my book, you know I could type on and on about this video quality but I'll leave you with a tight lines and a #AdversityIsDope FORREST WOOD FORREST WOOD FORREST WOOD!!! Thank for being you Bro Much Love!!!👊🏾
thanks man youre my most faithful sub!
Finally!! Now I understand the wait.
I hope my "allergies" don't get me on this one B. Lat!
And that winning this IS for you!
Yep, damn allergies..
man this one was a hard one to edit
@@BrianLatimerFishing It was an amazing video. Well worth the wait sir!
Brother, I gotta thank you. You have completely (almost single-handedly) reinvigorated my passion. I’ve had a passion for bass fishing since I was 5. Got married, and lost the drive. Didn’t go as much as I wanted to. About a year ago, my wife decided she wanted something different. I suddenly had a lot of free time. I started getting that itch back as I was searching for some way to spend my time and keep my mind off of things. I was down near Okeechobee for work two weeks ago, and it didn’t take long to find your “My First Major League Fishing Event” video. Since then I’ve watched dozens of your videos just soaking all the information in and scraping off the rust of my skills.
This video in particular, had me sweating for you, sobbing with you and screaming with you. Man, you don’t even know the impact you have on people. Keep grinding man. Keep doing you. We’re right there with you, cheering you on (and hopefully joining you on the trail one day). God bless
Man.. you made a grown ass man cried. Hard work paids off. Love seeing your family on stage. The look in your son's eyes. One day , he'll look bad and realize what his dad has done.. when he's old enough and start fishing tournaments. Good luck with you in every tourney
I saw that weigh in live and Im not gonna lie brother...I was on my chair edge hoping you nailed the win. When you did, I got a little emotional right there with you. Success is an incredible, sometimes indescribable feeling but the journey...the journey is where we grow and evolve into the person worthy of that success. Enjoy the moment youngblood cause the journey just continues. God bless and well done.
Favorite tournament of the year to watch, probably all time favorite! Still gives me chills lol. Awesome job man!!!
Listening to his celebratory laugh at the end of the "origin story" clip told you that little guy was bit HARD by the bug. Amazing when you find the things you love so young.
LOL at his repeated disobedience of his own instruction to preserve his voice. PASSION to go with talent.
Last edit- OK his wife at the weigh in killing me. That's......just awesome :)
I watched this video like a hundred times and I still get emotional. To have your family by your side watching this was incredible. Just the look on your son's face watching and couldn't imagine what he's thinking. Just absolutely incredible and happy for you bro. You and MDJ are my true favorite anglers. Just the passion you guys share is mind blowing. Awesome job, keep making those vids bro!
Brother,, you are such an inspiration to me.
Thank you .
I love you B-latt what an inspiration, God Bless you and your awesome family
thanks for the kind words bro
I watched this entire tournament from day one... Just like Takahiro Omori in the BMC, Brian had something going on that nobody could stop! He had a simple rhythm add confidence, and he became unstoppable! My wife asked me , as the contest was over, why I was crying.... I informed her that I just witnessed a good man fulfill his dream ... I’ve watched Ike, Kevin, Cox, Evers, and all the old timers win... but, nothing is more special than watching/ seeing the underdog put it all together, and become a champion! Love it!
Way to go BLat!!!!! I have never seen more passion for tournament bass fishing than what you have- Truly an inspiration. The difference between you and most people is you did not quit when you lost all those big fish- You kept going, you kept trying...And it paid off! Way to go- I have insane respect for you!!!!!
Killed the edits keep up the great work man
Dude, what a great video! Congrats, and im so happy for u!
Man I like happy endings. I found it interesting that Brian's emotions for his win transferred thru the video, even two years later. But wait, "they" say that we're all individuals with no real connection to each other except thru family, but then, I see the love and support all around Brian that reinforces my belief that there is a deeper energetic connection between all people.
Look at Bill Lowen's 1st win at Pickwick this year, when the heart of America was pulling for Bill to win, even from the other anglers. Then in the final moments, Bill caught that 9.4 to take his first BASS win and the joy reflected by Bills family was priceless. I see more wins to come for the Latimer family.
Great job B.Lat. I just watched this video, and it brought me to tears. I started when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I’m now 60
years young. I love fishing. I’m just getting back into it. Nothing like that fish fight. Maybe one day I’ll get to meet you , and do some fishing. Good luck my Brother. You deserved that big Win. I’m definitely a subscriber to your channel. It was a blessing for Pops to witness, as well as your wife and kids.🙏🏼💯👏👏
Amazing video!!! Congrats on the big win
B. Lat!!! The emotion is true love for the sport!!
Thanks man it was a great moment for my family
So glad your hard work and God's blessing paid off!
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I enjoy watching B. Lat and his videos. So entertaining and fun to watch. I learn so much from his videos. Congrats B. Lat!
The most POWERFUL THING you said was you had everything growing up. 2 parents. With everything going on in this world the HOME still matters. My heart breaks for the AA community. So many broken homes! It's sad. Loving and supportive parents can start you off right. The rest however is up to You. Your work ethic was the ingredient that kept you going through the tough times. You are a true inspiration to those who say you cant! Great job you can and YOU did!
Great job B Lat. keep making SC proud. Hope to run into you on hartwell one day
OMG! The video at the beginning was so cute! Congrats!! Love your videos!! 🐟❤
there's so much of that stuff that my mom kept from when I was a kid!
Sometimes when I'm down or just need a little inspiration to keep going, I come back and watch this. I've got it saved.
Yup, I cried and I'm not afraid to admit it. 😁 Well done sir, well done
Been waiting for this video. Congrats BLat well deserved!!
thanks for watching tonight
Absolutely. Really enjoy your videos. Your my sons favorite fisherman he watches all your videos. Hope to get the chance to meet you one day. Good luck at Champlain !
This is hands down the best thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I’ve got tears. The passion, desire, and emotion cannot be faked. Thank you for sharing. Nothing says “follow your passion” like the emotion portrayed here. Love it!
God Bless your mom or whoever the nice lady was who grabbed a cam-corder! That is so freaking awesome man!
One of my all time favorite UA-cam videos ever. Real emotion and the good guy won! Thanks B.Lat for sharing and inspiring!
Young B Lat didn’t release that big fish? I was the same way when I was younger. I’d get excited and carry it however far I needed to in order to show my dad lol.
Jon L he also mounted it
I’m so glade I found your channel.Dude you are a stand up guy.i used to bass fish everyday when I was growing up.its been 25 years.you have rekindled a fire in me to purchase a boat and get back out on the water.Thanks for your very positive spirit and being who you truly are on camera.Thats hard to find these days.
Well I can tell u from experience the bass fishing on a pro level even a rookie level is so hard I have been fishing local tournaments for years and smashing them on the local seen in several states and then I decided to go try the bfls as a rookie deal and I kept getting my tail smashed so I quit I gave up after watching this I may just give it another shot next year thanks B.Lat you are awesome bro
Idk how i got here but as a black man i just came down in tears because i know he goes through alot..
I stand with you bro. 💯✊🏾💪🏾
This is by far the best fishing video I ever seen! B-lat,Roland and Scott Martin.not only are y’all my all time favorite Anglers,I admire the 3 of y’all soo freakin much man.!! Don’t ever stop being you Brian!!
This is my favorite video to watch on UA-cam. I can not tell you all how many times I have watched this video. Hard to believe this was almost two years ago.
How have I missed you? All through the video I was reminded of teenage years and I'm 60 now. You would love my brothers Leonard and Aubrey, and some who have passed now. You are a fine example of who a person is that follows his path. That first image of you as very young with a large bass then winning with a large bag for first place...same kid! I'm glad I subscribed just for this video and to meet you. Win some more brother for us!
I can tell yall when im feeling down and out i replay this video . i watched his win live at work on my phone and did not get any work done on that great day . love yall be kind and love everyone . Who Dat!!!!
You seem very genuine and so grateful!! Every time I think of you I promise to speak blessings on you and your family!! Keep loving people like you do. Everyone sees your heart!! Praise the Lord!!
At the beginning I was smiling from ear to ear. At the end I was crying! WTF just happened. All i can say at this very moment is congratulations bro I’m so happy for you and your beautiful family. And Thank You!! For making me feel human again. I’m 42 and haven’t cried since old yeller died . This video opened my eyes to so much more than I can explain so thank you for sharing i only wish I’ve seen it much sooner...
The best video yet ! Like how you incorporated your old videos into this one. Man you had me crying for you buddy !
I don’t care I cried when I saw you won man. Watching someone who putts so much time and purely enjoys what he does deserved this so much! And you know what adversity is dope! Congrats brother!
The BEST video I’ve seen! Congratulations brother. Long over due for a great guy.
I will say this B.Lat.... I've watched a ton of your videos in the past months as I've begun to learn to bass fish. But THIS video made me fall in love with Bass fishing. Thank you for what you do and all you've done. From the heart, thank you!!
I was just a noob looking for a texas rig tutorial and ended up here. Amazing. Subscribed
Welcome to the rabbit hole
I still get tears of joy every time I watch this weight in.
I watch this often and still shed a tear watching it. Crazy thing is I am not one for being emotional. But I feel this as if I were in your shoes.
Still come back to this video from time to time. Love seeing people win
"put em on scales, boy" TALK TO EMMMM
It's official you have been forever immortalized by way of professional bass fishing. I wish to follow in your footsteps one day.
One of my favorite professional anglers. A great ambassador to the sport of bass fishing, but perhaps more importantly a better man!
Well well, first time I have ever cried watching a bass fishing video. Congratulations brother!! May more victories come your way.
Bro you got me emotional for ya. Happy your dad was there to see it, Looks like your wife and kids was happy to. You doing what you love. You blessed man.
