River Fishing 101 on the Susky with Alex!

It's River Fishing 101 with Alex to get him ready for the Bassmaster Kayak Series on the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania.

This was Alex's FIRST national kayak tournament. He was pretty pumped to be there, even if we had to drive 22+ hours from Texas.

He has never fished from a kayak in a river with a current. So, I took one whole day of practice to get him up to speed with a crash course in kayak river fishing for smallies.

We have a sense of humor, and it really comes out in this video. Don't take us too seriously.

Lastly! I also apologize in advance for the following:

1. Not updating my GoPro Max firmware to make sure it records in 360 mode.
2. All clips from the waist down (see item 1)
3. Not wearing pants (see item 1)
