I've bank fished all of my life and have had great success. I got a kayak for father's Day and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Last year my dad got a 14ft aluminum boat and that's opening up another world of possibilities on the water. Even with all that said there is nothing better than hitting the lake after work for a few casts and hooking into some nice fish. Thanks for sharing. As a father this video was dope bro. Love seeing you spend time on the water with your son 👏🏾 👏🏾
Same here, but i got a fly fishing float tube. Absolutely a game changer. I love being able to get to the shelves and drop offs I couldn't get to before.
My late Dad taught me to fish when I was four. It's nice to be able to look back to those memories, priceless really. This video is a gift to that Kiddo. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
It’s cool to see a professional fisherman get so excited to catch a fish and just having fun. Even better to see your son’s smile when he catches fish.
I've got my first kid on the way and watching you with your son got me so excited for the future with mine. Can't wait to take my little one fishing. 😍
Wading the local river was the most influential factor in helping me finally somewhat get over a very long spell of depression last year. It made me want to get up in the morning at a time when nothing else did. I've actually decided to go back to school for Fish and Wildlife Management. Finally found something I can be passionate about. I'm really glad I decided to pick a rod back up last summer.
I just started taking my boy fishing and it really is something special. I realized now how special those moments really were with my dad when I was a boy learning to fish.
Fishing with your kid… priceless. 30 yrs ago and I still remember my boys catching their first trout and bluegills from shore. Regarding the small lakes and ponds, I think we underestimate the potential for Bass even near urban areas. Great way to test lures and improve technique too. Nice video!
Awesome video, Brian! Always cool to see the big man reel in a few, and he's holding the fish now?! 🤯💪🎣 Appreciate you showin' some love to us pond hoppers!
Man. I teared up watching that. Memories to last a lifetime. Fishing with Dad. Now I'm the Dad fishing with my kid. I've seen the video of BLat fishing with his Dad too. ✌🏻🎣
Most of the ponds I fish are farm. Not all are cattle ponds, but they aren't as well kept as the one you were fishing. Lots of small bass competing for bluegill. No cover to speak of. They leak. But, as you say, the bass love top waters. The thrill of the hit is what keeps me coming back.
Yes, Yes and Yes Sir! I 2nd all of that J. Johnson!! It took me 40 years to think about picking up a little Jon Boat and it IS like a whole new world opened up in the reservoir I have been fishing for 25 years. But there is nothing better than a few minutes after work to throw a few while the sun goes down. FISHING THERAPY! B. Lat, Thanks for sharing all the good stuff and dropping the knowledge on us up in here! Lol.
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. Just fishin' with the real emotions we alll go through. How do you get the kids past the "this is boring" thought process? I took my boy once before I was really into it and we got a few bites but no fish. 3 years later and I feel like if I could get him to go again now that I can always get on small mouths he'd feel it, but he doesn't wanna go.
I needed to watch this vid :D ... my Pops passed last year so this really got me to remember lots of great times !! Those times you never forget at all.
Man, I really appreciated this video. I have a boat but I live in NY and fish mostly in NJ and it's just so expensive with tolls, ramp fees and gas, not to mention all the electric only and horsepower restricted lakes that I can't use. I'm getting back into beating the banks, it gives me a lot of access, it's cheaper, and it gets me back to my roots. Getting your kid out there, making memories is awesome. You're a good man, and a great dad. Great video bro.
Yes, right now I’m watching you fish at a pond. I enjoy the peace and quiet when I’m fishing I don’t do as well as you do but I still enjoy pond fishing.
Man I love my kayak but ain't nothing like beating them banks. I just ordered 5 packs of SMH worms and 3 packs of SMH jig heads I found me a new little pond full of grass on the bottom and they killing the worm. Great content brother as always keep the bangers coming 🇺🇸 👊🏻 👍🏻 💯 🎣
I bank fish, and it's an adventure, trekking through the terrain, casting around trees, watching for snakes, and trying to cover as much water as possible.
Good Evening Mr. Brian Latimer, I am a New Subscriber to your channel and I Think It's "DA BOMB!" LOL! 🙂I am a Bank and River Fisherman for over 25 Years and every time I go out I Learn something NEW! I can't afford a boat but I truely Enjoy your ENTHUSAMIUM for Our Sport. You are a Inspiration to us ALL my Friend. KEEP A TIGHT LINE and NEVER STOP FISH'n MY BROTHER! Sincerely Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala aka "DESPERADO." "GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILIY!"🙂Keep making these informative Video's they are TOTALLY EPIC!
Hey Carl. You don’t need a lot of money to get on the water. I started with an inexpensive kayak and caught tons of bass out of it before I upgraded to a used bass boat. There are still times I prefer to leave the boat at home and take the yak to out of the way spots for peace and quiet and a few hook sets. I love bank fishing too, but being on the water expands your possibilities 100 fold. Think about picking up a used kayak and always wear your PFD.
01/ 11/2024hey Brain two questions 1 is i was just on your site to buy your frogs you designed and see them on there. did you stop making them? 2nd question are you still doing your bank tournaments for us bank fisherman this year or no!?
It pains me to admit this but.... I've never had a topwater bite before 😓🤫. I've been trying for 2 years now and nothing. It's like the bass know what I'm up to. Lol. ✌🏾
@@BrianLatimerFishing Thanks SO much B Lat. Nothing like getting a pep talk from a freaking legend!!! I'm still trying though. Tomorrow morning, as a matter of fact. Wish me luck!! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I've had 1 or 2 in my whole life, but they were with buzz baits so it's kinda half top half under but man when I finally got one it was a different kinda adrenaline, oddly I've never caught anything on a wacky rig which is what most ppl say is the easiest to catch on
@@GalactiCadet another painful admission... I've never caught one on a wacky rig either. I've caught bass on a glide bait, jig, soft swimbaits & drop shots. No spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwater, wacky, neko, ned (lost one on a ned), crankbait or lipless crankbait 🤫. But that gives me SO many reasons (not excuses, wife 😉) to go fishing as often as possible!!

I have 3 year old now jus gives me motivation to keep going

I remember last time you guys were at this pond, brooks didn’t even want to hold the bass, now look at em! “I wanna hold it” that’s growth people!!
It’s cool to see a professional fisherman get so excited to catch a fish and just having fun. Even better to see your son’s smile when he catches fish.

Congratulations on becoming a father. It’s the best 💪🏾

Absolutely my favorite vid of yours so far. Your little boy is adorable. Surely will touch the hearts of many fathers.
Thanks B Lat watching that little guy smile made my morning

That smile your son had when he hooked that first fish was awesome.
The Popper is my favorite Lure!!! I caught my PB from the bank on one! A 4’4 pounder!
The production value and wholesomeness of this video deserves way more than 24k likes..
First video of I've seen of yours. Man I love the style bro, great work!!
Best bank fish video ever hands down!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome video, Brian! Always cool to see the big man reel in a few, and he's holding the fish now?! 🤯💪🎣 Appreciate you showin' some love to us pond hoppers!
Ditto.
That’s me I fish at ponds here in Ft.Wayne In.,hope your SUF was a success,enjoy watching you in your clips especially with your son and Dad
Bank fishing when you’ve figured out which lure can’t be beat. Great video
Thoroughly enjoyed this. One of the best bass fishing videos I’ve watched in a long time. Much love and respect.
Man. I teared up watching that. Memories to last a lifetime. Fishing with Dad. Now I'm the Dad fishing with my kid. I've seen the video of BLat fishing with his Dad too. ✌🏻🎣
the thing i enjoy most about your channel is watching you be such a good dad.
Brilliant video. I still fish with my 28 year old son as much as possible. Awesome time to bond and just enjoy each others company.
The look on his face when he caught that crappie. That's the best part of fishing with little buddies.
Most of the ponds I fish are farm. Not all are cattle ponds, but they aren't as well kept as the one you were fishing. Lots of small bass competing for bluegill. No cover to speak of. They leak. But, as you say, the bass love top waters. The thrill of the hit is what keeps me coming back.

You are so blessed to be able to Fish the Ponds and teach Little Man all you know. Keep it my friend Semper Fidelis
Yes, right now I’m watching you fish at a pond. I enjoy the peace and quiet when I’m fishing I don’t do as well as you do but I still enjoy pond fishing.
Love your channel and bank fishing. Just ordered some swagger. Keep posting great content B Lat.
Watched this video because I’m too poor for a boat but want to fish and I love the style this is quality
“Can you throw towards this dock?” “no😂” as he catches a fish 😂😂
That smile on Brooks face with the first fish was priceless.....
He said nope!!! 😂😂😂😂
This is why I love your channel the positivity and great information and sense I been watching iv cought more fish so thank you
Love that bond y'all have man. Great Cinematic videos man. I wanna ask if you are related to Lewis Howard Latimer by any chance?
Man I love my kayak but ain't nothing like beating them banks. I just ordered 5 packs of SMH worms and 3 packs of SMH jig heads I found me a new little pond full of grass on the bottom and they killing the worm. Great content brother as always keep the bangers coming 🇺🇸 👊🏻 👍🏻 💯 🎣
Bro....that was an awesome video. Well rounded.
Great video. Keep em coming. What kinda shorts are those
I bank fish, and it's an adventure, trekking through the terrain, casting around trees, watching for snakes, and trying to cover as much water as possible.
Man that was a awesome pond! I love catching them on top water.
Brooks!!! the next B. Lat Pro Fisherman of the family. maybe the rain killed his joy. Great vid as always
Awesome video, thanks sir 💯
Great video bro!! It’s good to see little man wanting to hold the fish now.. GOD bless you and the family!!

Blat always get ya pumped to get out there and get at it... Man I need a teacher like Blat to teach me how to read water....
Wow! Brooks is holding the fish now! So cool!
We saw it move too. 😂 5 lbs. That was pretty cool. We also saw it jump baby. I enjoyed the video. Thumbs up. 👨👩👦👦🙌
man i just love the daddy son bonding
Howdy partner. I'm slowly becoming a "bank" master. Thanks to your vids! Gracias homie !
Majority of fishing is from the bank. 🎣
How do you like that little combo your boy has? Got for my daughter but we haven't used it yet. Was worried cause the line runs on the inside.
YESSIIRRR LOOK AT LIL MAN HOLD THAT FISH💪🏽💪🏽 no more lil boy status, hes a man now😂💯
Thank you!
Thank you.
Loyal to the soil brings a lot of excitement for the unknown when walking lol.
If I come to your side of the town where are some good bank fishing spots?? I’m coming from California..
also do you do any fly fishing?
Them kicks though!!! Are those actual “fishing” shoes/boots???
01/ 11/2024hey Brain two questions 1 is i was just on your site to buy your frogs you designed and see them on there. did you stop making them? 2nd question are you still doing your bank tournaments for us bank fisherman this year or no!?
I really enjoyed this video....thank you
Damn from seeing Brooks shy of holding a fish to asking to hold it ❤ man I love fishin
Still Bank fish when I'm lazy and I don't want to take the the kayak but it's a lot harder bank at least to me God bless be safe keep fishing
Thank you so much!!!!!! The best video
What pole is his son using? I need to upgrade my daughters setup.
@Brian Latimer what's your top lures for bank fishing honestly
@Brian Latimer you should put together a Bank Fishing kit for all of us guys to get off your website
With a title like that it's an instant like for me.
The bank is where it all started so much fun
“You don’t need a boat to catch fish Cuz!”
B. Lat, I see you and your son out in shorts. Is this a winter day or a fall day at the pond.
Would you fish a topwater popper in January?
My man said put your own fish in the box!😂
Nice video ..only wish lil buddy had a hat ..rainproof and maybe a lil rain jacket 💯
That little dude is priceless ***
Brother, you are awesome! I can't wait to have kids and teach them to fish haha
This makes me wanna take my son fishing but it’s like 20 degrees here so I’m thinking going to have to wait a month or two before he is willing
He was proud of that 2lbs crappie
I've never seen a fish caught that wasn't hooked lol. That was crazy
Awesome
Farm pond fishing is my favorite they usually got some donkeys
Bank is just about all I do…..but…HAVE an inflatable pontoon now! Hey what rod is that?
I'm sitting up here in Chicagoland in Jan and this dude is down in SC in SHORTS?!?!?! 😭
Do not get on my boat if you’re emotionally unstable 😂😂
Dont Hook Me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my son walks with his pole with no remorse i am surprised he hasn't snapped it yet.
"Never feels good to loose one" no... it just hurts more from the bank... 😔💀
It pains me to admit this but.... I've never had a topwater bite before 😓🤫. I've been trying for 2 years now and nothing. It's like the bass know what I'm up to. Lol. ✌🏾
Of all the lures in bass fishing it’s the least versatile. It has the smallest window of opportunity so don’t feel like you’re missing something
@@BrianLatimerFishing Thanks SO much B Lat. Nothing like getting a pep talk from a freaking legend!!! I'm still trying though. Tomorrow morning, as a matter of fact. Wish me luck!! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

I've caught bass on a glide bait, jig, soft swimbaits & drop shots. No spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwater, wacky, neko, ned (lost one on a ned), crankbait or lipless crankbait 🤫.
But that gives me SO many reasons (not excuses, wife 😉) to go fishing as often as possible!!
I’m from Louisiana baby. It’s sac-a-lait!
Blat that shirt is FIRE
❤️
Great vid!
Seems like you have more fun Bank fishing than when you’re on a boat
Aren’t crappies and bass in a pond together a no go
Mr lat let's go out on Lanier I'm a artist in Georgia and would love to get on some big spots with you
Poppy McPopface caught Toady McToadface :D
Epic video 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Father and son nothing better
Epic slow motion miss😂
I caught my first top water on exactly that poppy mc popface
I bank fish almost every day
