I Wasn't Expecting This (I'm Back FISHING)

I've been going through some tough times in my life recently that were not expected. It's kept me off the water and prevented me from putting any new catfishing videos out. I'm back on the water for some fishing therapy and trying to get my head on straight and doing some scouting for some fall catfish. The fishing has been tough and my life has been a hot mess. I'll explain what's going on and do a little catfishing in the process.

Thanks for bearing with me. It;'s been a tough time. Hopefully, I can get back on schedule now!

[@garrettrobinson3429]

Absolutely, we’re still here for it! Keep doing your thing, great channel with no BS and great tips

[@mikeroberts3868]

Hey brother. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I lost my father in May and being a preacher he had asked me to do his service. I still have a hard time with emotions. I have spent many hours on the boat alone drifting lines and as you say it helps with our mental health. If you ever just need to talk 2546241217. Tightlines and good memories brother.

[@rcagle123]

Thank You so much for uploading this video. I wouldn't have blamed you if hadn't uploaded anything for awhile. My mother passed in May of this year from lung cancer, now I'm dealing with my own cancer treatments. I am hoping I can return to fishing in the spring do to my intolerance to cold. God bless you, your Dad and the rest of your family.
