  • The 2nd event for the Yak-a-bass Gambler series at Pardee Reservoir at a renowned fishery known for holding giant smallmouth. These tournaments are 2 day events with no pre fish 30 days prior so it’s truly a Gamble. This video includes tournament day 1 and all the ridiculousness that occurs prior.

    It took me too many fish lost to realize I had to compensate for my body weight tipping the kayak TOWARDS the damn fish as I reached for it, creating more slack than I realized in that instant. You can actually see it here ...from two angles!!! The yak tips with a slap, slack lie, pop! .... Great editing on this, btw....I've been following forever. These are great stories, and your friends are great. (I wrote that before I watched the second lost fish ...and it's the same moment)

It’s why people are so drawn to your channel content and you, on a side note I almost threw my breakfast at the wall when you lost that last fish lol. You have a subscriber for life thank you so much❤❤❤❤!

    I felt your pain when those fish came unbuttoned! Of course, the dogs were terrified when I jumped off the sofa screaming at the TV! However, since it's a two-day event, I have faith in you to make up the loss.
    Talking about grinds, Camp Far West on March 23 was definitely an exercise in patience. The lures had to be worked so slowly that I was nearly dozing my way out of the seat. Not only was there intermittent rain and 17 mph winds, but the threat of lightning was overhead no matter where we were on the lake. Fortunately, the weather calmed down by the weigh in, plus we scraped up a small limit.
    Happily you still placed in the top 10 - it will get better 😊🎣😊

You were out with the bass hookup the day I was supposed to be on the delta and ended up sick…the day you filmed this, I was on Pardee. I saw all you guys but didn’t realize it was a tournament. No wonder it was so tough…I was focused on that area you were…around the island and the coves at the south end of the lake. But…you had already beat it up. I was at salt springs valley reservoir earlier but it was horrible so I went to pardee and got there at 2pm. Your losses were heartbreaking. Hope to catch you in the water sometime.
