Gary Yamamoto is the most humble guy I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am glad he invited me out to his ranch and thought yall might enjoy watching him. Glad to see the fishing industry is starting to take notice of the guys on youtube. Should help with some growth of the industry as a whole.

In 8 short months you have gone from basically posting an instructional guide on how to break a fishing rod to fishing with celebrities. The internet is a funny thing. Congrats.

Just had to try and grind it out I guess. YouTube has opened up a few doors and of course I had to stop fishing like an idiot.

I find it intriguing how haters flock to this guy. I've seen him on Rayburn and Athens multiple times and have never seen anything out of line.

There have been several other "this guy did such and such on the water" threads and most people reserve judgement because there's always two sides to every story right?...
Someone mentions this guy's on the water manners and everyone assumes him guilty immediatly. I don't know the guy, just curious why he brings out the haters so.

How could anyone hate on this guy? He puts out the best and most detailed videos on youtube. I enjoy the vids, keep it up!

$85 a day to fish his ponds and $150 a night rooms….seems pretty fair to me…he even provides you a Legend boat at no charge. clap

Good video too!

I admire the work you put into your videos. You're doing well. I wasn't trying to be critical, I just thought it was interesting how quickly this took off for you.

You do good a boat wrap will get you noticed, you do bad stuff a boat wrap will get you noticed. But really I have a question. What makes a guy think he is good enough to start posting videos? Won lots of major tournaments? A local fishing hero that doesn't fish tournaments? Or just want to be a hero? Like they named the go pro camera. Its a look at me world now!!

Exactly! I do think his videos are top notch. But he he has zero skins on the wall so to speak. I won't get into his past which I have witnessed first hand. But someone who is going to post on how to do anything should have some experience. He clearly wants and at least gets some attention. I just hope that all takes it for what it's worth.

His videos usually are of underwater movement of a senko, etc. How much experience do you really need? I sub to his video channel and have never heard him claim to be a good fisherman or that he can make you a better one.. to each their own.

As i stated before, i dont know thr guy but I have seen him take st judes kids fishing in one of his videos, I saw him offer his boat to the UT angler who was here looking for help and most importantly he served our country. In my book that deserves, NO scratch that, EARNS respect. If he enjoys film and video, let him do his thing..

Very nice post, Chris. I don't know the gentleman and have never watched any of his videos. I might at some point, just don't have the time to sit around and watch a lot of YouTube stuff. But I'm reminded of my days years ago when I coon hunted. Most liked to think that they had the best dog. But the wise men who hunted always told me that they suspected that the best coon hound probably belonged to a gentleman who hunted alone for the enjoyment of the sport, not to compare his dog to others. It is entirely possible, very likely in fact, that if not THE best bass fisherman then certainly some of the best don't fish tournaments and rarely fish with others. Instead, content to enjoy the peacefulness and solitude of that comes with fishing alone. I laughed this last Winter reading on the THF where a guy said that he could look at a man's set-up (hunting blind/stand & his feeder, suggesting that they had to have an expensive set-up) and his rifle to tell how GOOD of a hunter he was. Really? Is that where we are at today? Even though I might never take the time to watch this gentleman's videos, it is nothing personal. I just don't watch anyone's. But, I for one do not think that a person has to have trophies on his wall to be not only a good fisherman, but a great one. Is he? Don't know. But it is unfair IMO to say he isn't based on the fact he might not fish tournaments or won any.

Man always some morons on here bashing someone for being successful. Robert has put allot of work and money into making quality YouTube videos and his hard work has paid off. I'm very proud to call him a friend and to him serving his country go watch his video regarding that and then try and post some garbage on here about him.

I have won lots of money of golf courses from guys with this mentality. Up until about 5 years ago I was still using clubs I got from my dad in 98. My dad always used to tell me it is not the bow and arrow it is the Indian, I now see that as I am older.

The people bashing seem to be the ones with the "ego" and searching for the attention... Not the man giving back to the fishing community and teaching the beginners how to fish. Kind of sad to see the so called "Adults" of this sport react in such a childish way. I know how much work and effort go into his posts considering I've been doing it for quite some time too, much respect for Robert. flag

Well said.. This guy is drawing kids into fishing, and recognizing the ones that send in their catches. Anyone can talk on here about all their experience and judge, but I'm sure there are a few who are on here doing much less for the future of fishing. He has a platform and is doing great things with it. Just because you may have tournament wins or more experience doesn't give you the right to detriment the success of someone doing good things for the fishing community. Keep up the good work brother. cheers
