My name is Chuck (a.k.a. Hookset Hawk) and I'm a bass fishing enthusiast with a camera providing real fishing action! I created this channel to share my fishing adventures and maybe some comedy along the way. I'm a student of bass fishing so I sometimes share bait & tackle tips as well. Thanks for watching!!

Man yall need to do less talking sounds like yall are talking out of yalls noses😂😂😂. Shits kind of annoying frfr. Unless yall been sniffing shit the both of ya
@@michaelwilsonbarber , yeah I have over 100 videos. Been doing the fishing videos for several years. Of course, some of the old ones are poor quality but that's because I was just starting out and didn't know what I was doing! lol 😂
Champions are the best! I love my 198! I've had to do a lot of work but it's been worth it. I finally got new electronics installed and currently working on a list of stuff that needs attention but nothing major. I'm completely happy with my Champion! She rocks!! 👍😎 Thanks for watching!!
That's cool! My Dad used to own an early 1990's Champion 187 and that boat was fast for the size. Unfortunately, my 198 is NOT for sale! lol Of course, being a Champion owner I'm sure you understand why. lol Thanks for watching! :)
I think we fish pretty much the same areas on Priest. Ever see us out in the ol Basshole blue Tirton anywhere in Fall Creek, or Spring Creek, or Stewarts Creek, come on by and say Howdy!
Awesome, congrats! What brand graphs did you buy? I'll be installing a 12" Humminbird Solex up front with FFS. I plan on getting this done before fishing season. Thanks for watching! :)
@@HooksetHawk I got a Garmin Echomap Ultra 106sv and a UHD 93sv. One for the front and one for the console. Will either keep or chunk the 5" Lowrance built in the console.
Thanks Daniel! I'm looking forward to some fishing too! I haven't been able to post a video since November. I plan on working hard on videos in 2024!! Thanks for watching!! :)
@@HooksetHawk The 210 is my 3Rd Champion. Never seen any of the Elite series here personally anywhere. Mine is the deep blue anniversary edition Elite, really gets a lot of attention at the docks.
@@MrMynameisozzy , I bet it does! What brand & size motor do you have on the 210? My Dad ran Champions back in the 1980's & 90's. My brother and Uncle also run Champions! It's in our blood! Lol 😂
@@HooksetHawk The previous owner had it powered with a 250 Evinrude ETec that was properly maintained. It’s really smooth, reliable, quite, always starts on 1 turn of key every time. A lot of people put the BRP products down. Any outboard that’s gonna be subject to continuous high strains is gonna give out period especially more prone if one does tournament fishing.
Do you have a topo map or fish finder with mapping? In late August, I like to find where the bass can keep the baitfish corralled, particularily on shallow rock flats with deep drop offs. Any place like that where the bass can keep the baitfish pinned down so they can EAT. :)
Charger now makes Champion Boats but they are badged as Charger Boats. They make the Elite 198 and Elite 210 and have the rights to make all the hulls if they choose.
Yep, that's right! Im glad I bought this one when I had the opportunity. The boat is a 2008 so it was built just a few years before Champion went belly up. And, with just 300 hours on the motor it was a no-brainer!! Lol :)
I recently bought my first ‘fiberglass’ bass boat a Ranger 185VS that Champion is a fine looking boat and the white looks great, Champions have great hulls too. Tight lines!
Thanks! Yeah, I got that tune from the RU-vid audio library. Dan Lebowitz wrote the music. You can check out his channel here: ru-vid.com/show-UC38A5qHrlc_Zgua7vL4b96w Thanks for watching! :)
The guy with the cigarette is NOT the guy who recorded and released this video. Hookset Hawk is a non-smoker. The guy with the cigarette is my brother, a human who makes mistakes just like you. 😎 Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Them pesky dipping dyes aren't easy to store and that stuff gets everywhere! I think this box is the best solution I've found so far! You have to keep the bottles upright to avoid spillage and this box has enough room to do that. The stickers turned out great too! Thanks for watching! :)
A pound on one arm ???? 😂😂. You guys are awesome ! Always love to watch em . Tell Jeff I watch his channel also ! If you boys ever want to come to Dale Hollow we’d try to put you boys on em !
We try to keep things entertaining! lol I haven't fished on Dale Hollow in a while. Gotta have a spinning rod on that lake! We'll keep you in mind if we ever decide to get up there! Thanks for watching! :)
I don't fish much at night, but when I do I'll give it a try! With all of the rock and timber in the Priest, it makes sense why the dropshot is a good choice. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks! I was kinda bummed I didn't catch a keeper, but I felt the video turned out good regardless. I thought the tackle outro would be good for those who haven't thrown a dropshot! Thanks for watching! :)
