The Most Relaxing Way to Fish (Rainbow River Kayak Fishing)

Me and the old man finally made it back out on the water — this time hitting the Rainbow River in Dunnellon, Florida. We got a late start (Popeye's drive-thru stop didn't help), grabbed a Walmart bass fishing kit on the way, and spent the evening paddling upstream, testing lures, and seeing what was biting.Spoiler: nothing monster-sized, but we didn't skunk. And Dad dropped the GoPro door in the river within 10 minutes. So, classic BfishN. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Late start & Popeye's drive-thru 1:05 — Mystery Tackle Box unboxing (Walmart bass kit) 1:35 — What's inside: EWG hooks, Cliff Pace jig, BioSpawn Exostick, topwater 3:00 — Launching the kayaks 4:44 — Finally on the Rainbow River 5:32 — First bait: Whopper Plopper topwater 6:12 — Dad drops the GoPro door in the water 💀 7:18 — Switching to Texas-rigged blue sparkle worm 7:47 — PSA: Keep your river clean 8:55 — Fishing tip: casting upstream in fast current 9:40 — Vibe Sheerwater 125 kayak — honest review 11:27 — Dad misses a solid bass 13:22 — First catch of the day (little guy) 14:38 — How to tell crappie bites from bass bites 17:18 — Why you should always reset your soft plastic 18:13 — Second bass on the worm 20:00 — Cooling off in the spring water 21:18 — Dad's catches 21:53 — Chili dog tournament results 🏆 23:00 — Packing up & final thoughts 🎣 GEAR MENTIONED Texas-rigged blue sparkle worm / 3/0 EWG hook / Whopper Plopper / Mystery Tackle Box bass kit / Vibe Sheerwater 125 kayak 📍 LOCATION Rainbow River — Dunnellon, Florida.
