Hey Steve Basinger...

Just wanted to let you know that I've been monitoring your YT channel closely. I was already subscribed under my "Hickbilly Outdoors" moniker, but have been waiting patiently to sub under my "Hickbilly Bass Fishin'" channel. Which I just did, to put you over the top. Congratulations brother.

How much time can a guy have on his hands, and how lucky did I have to be to time that just right? It may be a sad story, actually. Carry on sir.

Dale, I just so happened to log on there and see the 1000 subscriber mark was hit. Honestly never thought that would ever happen. And the fact that it was you is just the icing on the cake!

Now I'm still a long ways off from meeting the 4000 watch hours to reach the monetized status but I have never cared about that part. I just want to be able to teach folks. The more, the merrier.

And now that I've decided to quit fishing Illinois tournaments, that gives me more opportunities to go record fun fishing trips and create more content.

Congrats on the benchmark Steve.

Steve, congrats on the bench mark. I really enjoy watching your videos. Good luck with the upcoming Summer months there in Illinois. I've never ever had the opportunity to fish in Illinois.

I wouldn't call it a missed opportunity as far fishing in Illinois goes...

Kas-kas-ki-a... VaROOOOM!

Glad to be the one Steve. I started watching close a few weeks ago and it worked out. You know, I'm at 974 on the Hickbilly channel...

Congrats, Steve. A long time since we met on Oscar's site and you were at Offutt AFB. Living in St. Louis, I use the PX at Scott from time to time. Shoot me a number and we can meet at the Officer's Club for lunch.
