    Ive been working for Walmart in AP for years. I've worked at multiple stores and never once have we stopped anyone from recording like you are doing in this video. We've never had a discussion about it or anything of that nature. The only time I would have a problem is if you were causing a disturbance of some kind. I would absolutely hammer an employee for saying a word to someone for filming if there were no issues while they were doing so.
    And as a longtime Walmart employee....get the Walmart app on your phone and scan stuff like crazy in the sporting goods and outdoors areas! You will likely find some incredible deals.

    We were just looking at some of our Walmart's selection this past weekend. They have an exclusive Lew's Rod & Reel combo I didn't know about that is actually pretty sharp looking in blaze orange colors! Middle of the pack is where it's at! I know some people have the means and freedom to indulge, but I'd prefer more in the gas tank when towing the 14ft ;)
    AND I'm editing this because I opened my mouth before watching and there you are with exactly what I saw.

    All your information is spot on. The only other thing i would add is the Eagle claw 172 piece bass kit. Comes with all the weights, hooks and bobber stops youll need at $15 dollars. I buy several in the winter and maybe use 1 per summer broken down into 2 kits, Bank fishing and kayak.

    Dooood. I just found that lews combo at Walmart and they messed up. It sales for 79.99 it was supposed to be on Sale for 40.00. But they labeled it for 18.99.
    I bought 2 and they didn’t care so I went back and got 3 more.
    5 rods at 18.99 a piece with a 2 year warranty for another 5 bucks a piece .
    Gonna be a great birthday gift for the fishin buddies . Lol

    Got caught without a license about 15 years ago in PA. I had always had a fishing license every year before that and didn't go much. Ended up going camping and had a pole so why not try fishing. Well ended up 2 wardens came up and in the end costed me about $400. Will never ever not spend the $20 some bucks again! Even if I don't go at all that year.

    Only thing you missed was a surface lure. Either a top water frog (a JR size) or my pick for beginners, the classic silver sided floating Rapala. Been using (the double and triple treble hook size) floating Rapalas for over 40 years, they are just amazing when twitched like a dying minnow!

    Went backpacking last year up to weaver lake in CA. I did not have my fishing license and figured no game warden would hike 3 miles to a lake to check for fishing licenses. The only thing I caught that trip was a ticket. Ended up having to go to court instead of just being able to pay the ticket. There was no fine written out on the ticket. Game warden said you will need to show up in court to take care of this.
    The notice to appear on the sitation was set for 3 months after I got the ticket. Ended up going to court… ticket was $468.00.

      Bait casters have a time and a place if your a bank angler I would recommend you get a decent spinning reel baitcasters are super accurate and are great for flipping and pitching when your on a boat but you can do the same thing with a spinning reel with practice spinning reels are easier to cast far I suggest using 15lb power pro

    Haven't fished in 40 years. Retiring in a year and need a video on how to rig those wacky worms. Also any other really good videos you've done on kayak fishing. Just bought the sun dolphin boss 12' and will need to work on that a bit. Oh, and I have some 3D printers. I plan on designing one of those seat risers you showed in another video. Do you still recommend those?

      Hey 3D Bob! Here's a video on how to rig the Wacky Worm: ua-cam.com/video/5HpOib1sWI4/v-deo.html when it comes to seat risers, I definitely still recommend those for 3 reason, allows me to get in and out of my seat easier, 2: raises the seat so I can put my underseat storage under it: geni.us/Dewalt and I can see a whole lot more when it comes to sighting fish and what's under the water at a distance.
