    Another Nebraska boy here that grew up fishing like you did. College and kids put me off fishing for years but your channel has lit the fire in me and I love getting out now, especially with my son who is now 7. Love the content and your perspective, talent, tips, and knowledge of the sport. Could not be more happy for your success this year and can't wait to see you go higher. Trying to convince the wife we need to come to the Classic! Congratulations!

The haters call you a RUclips fisherman. This year, proves that you are a true student of bass fishing that also happens to make videos. Can’t wait to see you to study for your doctorate. I bet your Masters thesis will be awesome next year. P.HD. BOUND !!
