    Dude you were already growing steadily, but fishing and winning this open and I would say more this year is going to blow up your channel. There are very few pros that fish the way you do and I believe you are gonna have a very successful year. Good luck and congrats on the win. Look forward to seeing just how well you do. O and thanks for the insight on your videos-keep em coming.

  • @bassmastermatt
    @bassmastermatt Год назад

    Love the videos and how you share your approach. I kind of wonder if there shouldn't be a couple tournaments where no practice is allowed within a month of the actual tournament. This would show how good of an approach, intuition etc anglers have. Plus, not beat up lakes even more with huge boating fields.

  • @joemitchell2948
    @joemitchell2948 Год назад +3

    That guy that said you can’t have the camera is the biggest D bag I’ve ever met, the whole Merc team that works the trailer sucks. I hope I never ever have to deal with them again, I had to borrow a boat From BASS for the team championship and sucked some mud and sand into it causing it to over heat, and they treated me like I was special needs. I feel bad for him honestly, if I had to share a hotel room with 4 other guys and sit in a enclosed trailer for minimum wage the entire duration of a Bass event I’d hate my life too

  • @mikeschneider8574

    Dude is a absolute hammer. I knew he would do well at Eufaula, toledo prolly gonna do well at the Harris chain and wheeler. I'm interested to see how he will do on watts bar and buggs island them are the derbys that can be tough. Also can't wait to see how he does with the smallmouth at the st. Lawrence River. I think he will definitely win the points deal. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he wins 1 or 2 more of the opens he's a bad mfer when it comes to finding big bass. He will be the next big thing in the elite series.
