MikeyBalzz caught like a 50 pound bag, all on like a 8 or 10xd. Went viral when he did it to. According to him in a later video, SK basically told him to kick rocks. That was years ago...i think more sponsors have woken up to the youtubes. you still really have to have the following for the bigger money to come around.....or at least I would think.

Thank you sir I was thinking about that idea an thought it was very cool I'll see what I can do thank you so much for your impute.

Meh, watched for 5 mins, nothing exciting. Get yourself a hot chick in a bikini and I’ll tune back in.

My tips:

Don't film yourself breaking the law.
Don't film yourself in restricted areas or in private property without authorization.
Don't fall for the click-bait trap.
Don't do the over-the-top "It's a GIANT" junk.

Do film the fishing.
Do understand the concept of "less is more" when it comes to voice-over.
Do understand the over-production is a BIG PROBLEM for many of the you-tubers.

Also, no damned music!!!!!!!

If you need people to give you ideas about videos then you have no business making videos.

🤣🤣🤣

I was carrying on a YouTube channel for a while. Didn't get anywhere crazy with it... last time I looked I had 1.1k subs, biggest video with 350,000 views... And then there's a handful with at least 10,000 views.. and then about 85% of them have under 500 views!

The one thing I learned throughout doing it is to post/make videos that people want to watch. I'm sure that's obvious, and it's easier said than done.

ALSO. Quality over quanity. Perfect example above.... That one video with 350,000 views, and then 50 other videos with less 500. You'd rather make a few GOOD, solid, eye catching videos with good video editing, rather than 100 thrown together videos of just reeling in a fish.

Get you some social media going too. Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok. Social media IS EVERYTHING when it comes to growing any kind of project these days.

If I kept going with it then I could probably continue to grow it pretty well. These days on the not so common occasion I do go fish, I don't want to be messing with 4 GoPros all day and thinking of what to say. I'm just there to enjoy my time in the outdoors. Plus all the video editing I used to do. Hours and hours of it.

I subbed by the way. Good luck! Lot of folks on this forum don't know their head from their [censored] when it comes to video production. Ignore them and just keep doing your thing. All the big fishing Youtube guys (Jon B, Peric, Lunkers, etc...) started off the same way you are. Now, they're making a bunch of grown men on here [censored] hurt because they can't make millions by videoing their fishing excursions and posting it on YouTube

Kris you’ve always been king troll

Thank you sir this made my day.

^^^^This

Yeah. You can borrow my Skeeter for the video. If you can’t drive, it will bounce with the best(worst) on them.

Do videos like Tactical Bassin.

yes
