Chris and Trait sit down with the king of kayaks, Rus Snyders, to discuss the differences in kayak fishing and bass boats from a guy who has won on both sides. As well as talk about his past as a Clearlake Bass Guide & an OG Big Bait film guy (before RU-vid took off), and why he left California to move to Tennessee and eventually sold his Ranger bass boat for a kayak.

Love it when us Kayak guys get some love. Fastest growth in bass fishing currently.

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

Is kayak fishing growing fast than the RU-vid pond guys these days? Honest question

@Tackletuesdayfishing Год назад

@@Zaldaingerous if it was 10 years ago i would say ponds. But personally I’ve experienced more and more ponds become private property or prohibited while the bass fishing grows. Kayaks allow someone to go to any public body of water that has a small public access. And the cost of entry is very low.

@anglersnkayaks9880 Год назад

One of the best podcast interviews and Rus is the GOAT in kayak fishing. Thanks for bringing the recognition to the sport of Kayak Fishing!

Trait & Chris - Out West we 100% know it. Bryant Smith just qualified for the Elites and has one interview to about 30 that Bradley Hallman or John Soukup have had. The guys out here who fish well entirely get that there is not a financial gain to be had strictly from tournaments, there are a few guys trying to get the ball rolling on circuits to help but quite frankly it seems there is never really a unified support. Hope it changes one day! Thanks for bringing it up on the show!

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

Hopefully it does change one day. Maybe we can do a small part in helping and shine some light on the West Coast.

Kayak fishing has been huge in Florida for a couple of decades now. I've been kayak fishing for 18 years now and love getting into spots that people with larger boats can't get into. Also fishing ponds people can't get into.

Thanks for throwin some respect to the kayak anglers. Love the fact that Trait pulls ZERO punches. Florida does have a bit more than shallow grass, though. We also have shallow reeds, pads, mats...lol jk. i was seriously catching fish suspended at about 8' in 18' of water the other day, though. i guess shallow is subjective...but that's deep for here.

If you are ever out west and happened to be connected to Kelly Puppo it would be awesome to see him on here as a guest. I met him once when I was in high school at a tackle shop out there about 15 or 16 years ago. Im in Kansas City and that was my first introduction to California fishing culture. Then I see him pop up on Oliver’s channel. That guy is a wealth of stories and information. Kind of guy you’d like to sit around a campfire with sipping on a good whiskey. Just get him talking and listen.

@rogerdudra178 Год назад

I fish the Musselshell River in Montana for smallmouth. Back 10 years I really started looking at kayaks to do a 3 day float on that river. I looked at everything, and then I realized that I was too old to do it. I was only 63 then, but a kayak was the way to float that unfished river.

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

Who we interview is dictated by our location (we travel 10 months out of the year) and who (guest wise) is in the same vicinity as our RV. Most fishing podcasts have guests Skype in which make the logistics & guest list much easier to build out.

@andrewtremper8453 Год назад

@glenndaugherity6187 Год назад

Check out The Little Stuff channel where he follows Russ for a couple tournament days when he wins 45 grand ! It really shows how this guy is a true professional !!

@edwardcowan7012 Год назад

The CPR App format of scoring is really cool. A group of friends and I do a monthly on line tournament. Most of us fish from bass boats. The one guy that fished from a Kayak usually wins. He fishes more than the rest of us and doesn’t spend any time working on his boat. He’s fishing out of a paddle sit on top basic kayak. The nobody that knows how to fish ever fished it places he fishes is a big factor.

@illinoispublicland4680 Год назад

If Chris goes another year without fishing out of the the autopilot I challenge him to a fish off in it next year out of my old town predator for it. Boat for boat lol. Love the podcast have been binge watching the last couple days. Great interview with Rus.

Trait how long did you live in California, I get a sense you where wronged by the state in your current and past comments

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

I lived out there when I first started college. My my Mom was born in Southern California and her father’s side is all on the West Coast. My grandfather lived in San Francisco. Me saying Cali is jacked up isn’t because I took something personal, it’s really heart breaking because anglers trying to make it in fishing out there have no clue that they are only spinning their wheels. Moreover, what the state’s government has done to hamper bass fishing is mind blowing and in my opinion, straight robbery of its anglers. Hence why so many trying to make it in fishing have moved to Texas. - Trait
