Jason Christie-One of the Most Feared Men In Fishing on MERCER-198
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Is Jason Christie really one of the most feared men in bass fishing? Not by fans of the sport but if you have to compete against him that’s a whole different story. Christie has 18 tour level wins, he has fished in 10 Bassmaster Classics and he won the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing in 2022. Not only is that resume scary, it gets even more intimidating when you realize he is going into the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series maybe even more motivated and driven than ever before. But first, he stops by this week’s Mercer Podcast to talk about all that and so much more.

Congrats Dave! Great show as always! Always good to listen to while driving job to job! Seems like it makes my trips so much shorter and better as well so I thank you!
I’m glad you enjoy the show. It’s nice to know it helps make your days go by a little faster. Thanks for the kind words
Congratulations on the HOF nomination ! You definitely deserve it ! Hope you make to the HOF !
I’m going to miss seeing Jason Christie in the Classic this year , but he seems very driven this season to make it in 2026 , just announced in Knoxville this week !
Hope you feel better soon , but a Chiefs 3 peat on Sunday will help ! LFG Chiefs !
@@scottmann61 thanks Scott, a 3 peat will definitely make me feel much better 🤞
Don’t sell yourself short. You deserve a jacket. I learned so much in Jason’s boat day one at Murray last season. Just made my B&B reservations for NC. I can walk to the ramp!! Maybe I can get that behind the behind the scenes story out of ya.
Thanks! I'm glad you learned some new things. You are going to have a blast at the NC event. I know I am really looking forward to it. Make sure you introduce yourself to me and maybe I can give you a hint 😂
Great show Dave, it’s just so deep and y’all are so honest, great conversation with Jason, Thank you buddy
Thanks Marty, I am glad you enjoyed it. I can’t thank Jason enough for being so real and so honest
Awesome show. JC has always been a favorite of mine, his whole demeanor is just my speed. Would love to have him back to Clear Lake, CA to catch some bigs. I could relate to a rattlesnake in their boat and this show reminded me of that trip with my brother. Another topic, the blue jacket is a slam dunk. The voice of BASS is just as important as the guys crossing the stage.
Thanks for watching, I bet Jason would love Clear Lake..I mean who wouldn’t 😂. Thanks for the kind words, I am just happy to be on the list.
You've been the voice of bass fishing as long as I can remember. Facts of fishing is one of the shows that really got me excited about fishing. Well deserved nomination.(even if you are a chiefs fan)
Thanks so much Joe, You have no idea how much your kind words & long time support means to me.
P.S Go CHIEFS GO
P.S Go CHIEFS GO
Great show Dave and Congratulations on being nominated well deserved.
Thanks Karl, I am still in shock. I appreciate you watching
Great show again, Dave. Thanks for the opportunity to "get to know" Jason better. Congrats on your nomination. Very cool.
Congratulations Dave on getting on the ballot!! You deserve all the accolades. Thanks for another great show. Jason just seems so chilled but you can see him intimidating people. Loyal Humper!! Great break for a pretty crappie week!!
@@jeffreyyoung8605 thanks Jeffrey, I truly appreciate the kind words. Jason is as good as they get
Awesome show Dave! Jason is the man. Congratulations on your nomination.
Thanks very much I’m still in shock.
Well, the HOF is just a matter of time for you bud. NW Arkansas Chiefs and Christie fan over here. I have to say, you have the least annoying ad breaks in all of podcasting. It makes me want to buy what you're selling. Well done.
Thanks Nate & I am glad you enjoy the format of the ads. We try to keep em short and simple. Go Chiefs Go
The power of positivity is what will land you there Dave. Congrats and enjoy the accolades.
Thanks so much Chris. I appreciate the support. It’s amazing what a positive mind can make happen
One of my favorite fisherman ever! Absolute hammer! Excited for this episode
..Congrats on the HOF nomination Dave!
@@DannyBFishing thanks very much Danny & you are right about Jason he is one of the best
Jason always represents the honesty and integrity of the sport!
Thanks
🐟🐟🐟🐟
@@jackdixon4530 he sure does! Christie is definitely one of the good guys. Thanks for watching Jack
Great show. The HOF are full of people who have changed for the good of their sport and you have. Well deserved and I hope you get in. #chainrats
Wow thanks so much for the kind words Paul. Chainrats Rule! I have never met one I don’t like
Huge Congrats on the nomination. Hard to beat an interview with Christie. Great.
@@rickmoore2854 thanks Rick, I am still in shock & I could not agree more. I love my chats with Jason so honest and so cool. He is our Clint Eastwood
Congrats, Dave, on the Hall of Fame list . Jason is a stone cold killer. I'm looking forward to the 2025 Elite season
@@rickrobinson7032 thanks very much Rick. I truly appreciate the support. I have a feeling Christie is going to be a machine this season.
You always give guests hell for teasing a good story and you did it to us!!! I bet it’s good.
I hope you get into hall of fame but if it’s not this year it will no doubt be in your future.
I watched the day 3 live Bass Masters Classic lake Hart-Well about 10 times when Christie won that was awesome he’s my favorite elite pro no doubt .
Me to haha I was sooo happy when he won it
One of my all time favourite classics. Thanks for watching Andy
Come on Dave! What a Ga Ga Ga GIANT tease!!
There ya go catching C again! Gonna miss 1st day of 1st elite?😉 Jason might be on to something here😂😂😂JK😁 Seriously Congrats on the BFHOF nomination!! You’re definitely worthy of it!! Best of luck this weekend CHIEF!!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the show. It’s great to hear you enjoyed him chirping me. I was just trying to keep him safe 😂.
Go Chiefs Go
Strokin the rythem. You're the man Dave
Thanks Tim, it all helps bigtime! Appreciate your support
Man this one gets heavy! Will say though I love when Jason shows up to the winter jackpots, when I have beat him that money was so much sweeter! It’s been a few years since it happened though…..
Thanks Dustin, I assume the heavy is a compliment. I can’t thank Jason enough for being so open.
I think it’s cool that he still fishes so many local events. Those are always fun
@@factsoffishingheavy because of the talking about family events missed, love the show and always looking forward to my drive to work on Thursday mornings
Congrats on making the ballot...much deserved Dave.
Thanks very much Matthew, I am still in shock
Congratulations, like hearing about past years of tournaments I didn't get to watch only read about in magazines when I had time to read one lol. So ready for this season.thnxs Dave n Jay.
Thanks very much Briane, Glad you are enjoying the show. More great episodes coming up
Great show with Jason, I was watching the The Tin Horse Monty u tube show this morning, they goi my thru who get pick for the hall of fame for 2025 they pick you and several in their comments they pick you too, they was doing 5 would get in, hope u do
Oh wow that’s cool to hear. It’s so nice & humbling to have so many folks supporting me. I am just happy to make the list
Congratulations Dave on your HOF nomination...very much deserved...best of luck to u....
Thanks very much it’s a true honor to even make that list
This was one of the great interviews. And the Gman is another.
I bet I can imagine what it was. Reminds me of ….
fishing the St. Lawrence river BASS invitational back in the 90’s. Flipping boat docks and came up on an open ended cabin cruiser. Three people were involved. Never did catch any on that particular dock. 😮
3 of em, WOW. That’s a great story. I bet you will never forget 😂. Thanks for watching
@ the channel is a great asset to bass fishing.
3 yup … mfm
Dave you're a hoot I enjoy your interviews but this one is special because you had the Bass master for 2025 champion on, Jason it's second nature to you just go fishing 👍💪
@@samuelschult985 thanks so much glad you enjoyed this show. Christie shows are always some of my favourite shows.
Awesome conversation. Thanks Dave and you should be proud of your nomination as all of us “humpers” are proud of you.
Thanks very much. Trust me I am still beaming with pride and gratitude
This is going to be a great one!!!
Always is with Jason, thanks for watching
Hall of Famer 1st ballot in my opinion ! After all one of the most electrifying voices in B.A.S.S Congrats Dave 💪
Thanks Adam your kind words mean the world to me. I appreciate the support
Wish I could hangout with you guys for just one evening and have a beverage!When you guys come to Knoxville in 2026.
I don’t get a chance for many beers on Classic week. But if we did trust me we would have a good time 😂
You are 100% deserving of being on the HOF ballot Dave! Absolutely!
Thanks so much James. I am still in shock
I met his dad on Tenkiller at some docks as he was crappie fishing while I was in a tournament. I had lost my lighter and asked him if he had a spare. He said he had quit sometime back. I said thank you and fished on. He caught me on my way back out and had a lighter waiting for me. He introduced himself and we had a great conversation as he was leaving the next morning to go see Jason at the classic. This was 2019 and I still have the lighter in a ziplock bag in the console of my skeeter. It’s been through 2 boats and many trips on the water.
What a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it with me. I am sure his dad is super proud of him.
Thanks for watching James
Oh the HOF is in your future 100% good show as always dave glad to listen to JC to !!
Dave, congratulations on being on the ballot for Bass Fishing Hall of Fame!!! You deserve to be in there. There are 3 people that have been the longstanding voice of B.A.S.S. - Bob Cobb for the Bassmasters TV show, Ray Scott (who is everything B.A.S.S. as founder and great showman), and Dave Mercer. Next to Ray, you have called more B.A.S.S. winners than anyone else (by the way, I haven't checked the official stats on this. I'm just taking the info. off the top of my head based on when you started as MC). I just watched The Cast episode on the Bassmaster Classic - listen to that crowd go crazy when you are introduced on stage in Tulsa!!!
I'm very proud of you. Get ready for another note from Johnny Morris. Hey, talking with you at Wheeler and Smith Lake was one of the highlights of 2024 for me.
Now, for dad jokes:
I went to the aquarium last weekend, but I didn't stay long. There's something fishy about that place.
Where does a dad store his dad jokes? In a dada-base.
I went to a silent auction last month. I won a dog whistle and two mimes.
Thanks, that means a lot. Hopefully I've helped you enjoy these events and I’ll continue to do the best I can. You kind words truly mean the world to me. Thank you.
Also thanks for the giggle 😂
If I had a vote, you would definitely get it bro! Another great episode too! Thanks for always bringing the best! 💪🏼
@@PatrickWalker_theBassAngler thanks very much, I am just happy to be on the list. I appreciate you watching
Great show
Thanks John
Congrats on the nomination Dave!!
Thanks very much Jason
Dave, I know you're too humble to take the praise, but you are a legend of B.A.S.S.! I'll be in knoxville next year and hope to meet you!
@@ryancannon9358 thank you so much Ryan, I would love to meet you in Knoxville. Please make sure to track me down. I will be the loud guy with the 🎤
No chiefs no 😂. Congrats on the nomination Dave! You deserve it!!! Can't wait to see you at st.clair again this year.
Thanks for the congrats! I'll be at St. Clair this year, look forward to seeing you there. Oh by the way there was a typo in your post it’s supposed to be Go Chiefs Go 😂
Saw Jason at Tenkiller Saturday. Good luck this year!
I have a feeling Jason is going to go on a tear this season
@@factsoffishingDefinitely
Jason Christie your one hell of a fisherman
100%
Congratulations on the HOF ballot, 100% deserved! 198 shows of greatness!
@@petebrandt8280 thanks so much Pete. I appreciate the support
Don't kid yourself Dave, you 100% deserve to be a part of the hall of fame. Congratulations on the nomination.
Thanks Kevin, I really appreciate your kind words and support. It’s so great to just be on that list.
Good luck this weekend Mercer. Go birds 🦅
And Congratulations on the Hall Of Fame!
Thanks Bill, I appreciate the support. It means a lot. Go Chiefs
You deserve it Dave. Your contribution to BASS is unparalleled.
That means a lot, thanks for the support! I appreciate you watching John
Christie is easily in my top 3 favorites up there with G-Man and a local to my area in Kyle Welcher.
He is an easy dude to cheer for. Thanks for watching Cody
Always a great way to start my shift!!
@@noahledbetter3969 thanks, I hope it made the shift pass a little quicker
@factsoffishing yes sir..I love fishing and your RUclips interviews..wish I had the money to fish with the big dogs!!! Wish I could share pictures on here my 2 year old daughter caught a 3.6 bass yesterday..I love this stuff!
8:09 I call this type of response as Righteous Pettiness. “Oh, you’re upset over something that didn’t warrant that? Let’s give you a reason to be” 🤷♂️
I love that term, that is so great 😂. Thank you.
Congratulations on the nomination. You are definitely deserving.
@@abassschmitt3424 thanks very much I am still in shock but very thankful for your support
Great Show Mercer, for your friend Who's er. Not Hose er, but I'm glad I'm fixing to open the Box you sent me. I appreciate you, for Everything you do for the Sport an you Deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. No Doubt my friend ❤
I'm glad you like the show. Thanks for the support! You will always be a Hoser to me 😂
Congratulations on the Hall of Fame Nomination!!!
Thanks Jerry, I can’t thank you enough. I know you and some others had a lot to do with it. I am truly blessed & grateful to have so many wonderful folks around my life
There’s a house song for that “all you ever do is blah blah blah” should play it next episode
I love that, so funny 😂
Jason so much like flood of info is in everyone's pocket now.
That’s the truth. Thanks for watching Joe
JC is the best!!
Could not agree more he is definitely one of my favourites
Congratulations on your nomination.
Sorry Dave Go Eagles 🦅 still love ya man 😂
No need to be sorry at all, the Eagles are a great team. I just hope the Chiefs are a little bit greater this Sunday 😉. Thanks for watching and commenting
You got my vote for the HOF! Nothing beats a good convo with Jason. Always been one of my all time faves. I’ll have to catch the rest later 😊
Thanks for watching! He truly is one of the best in the business. Thanks for the support Jim
That Rattler just knew he was about to be a hatband...
Heck ya
OKLAHAMMER!
He sure is 💪. Thanks for watching
WAIT What! Gussy is building a house.
Gotta spend that classic cash on something 😂
Love how Christie subtly shits on Ott Defoe, who is rooming with his old roommate Evers, referring to giving out info after they know they didn't make the cut, like Poche did for Ott that led to his Classic win. Looks like the new tang is working out for Christie.
10:36 in if anyone cares
@@basscat2107 I hope the people you run into in your everyday life show you more respect than you choose to show me with this comment. Sorry if me sharing my heart felt feelings was offensive to you. SMH 🤦♂️
@@factsoffishingnormally I skip the intro cause I’m ready to get to the interview and listen to the angler. But I will rewind and start over and listen to the whole thing
@@tylerstrader3384 Hey Tyler I totally understand people wanting to get to the interview. I have no problem with that at all. Feel free to fast forward. But someone complaining that they have to listen to it or acting like it’s a bother to listen to the guy that provides them a weekly podcast for free is kinda of side.
Is it good for the sport…yes. Is it good for the fisheries….no way. Far too many tournaments on our lakes. They held a 200 boat high school tournament on our 7500 acre lake here in Kansas for 2 days. That’s way too much pressure on a body of water that small
Well I don’t disagree, in some situations there is definitely way to much pressure being put on some smaller lakes. Hopefully that gets better. Thanks for watching
Please be Al Linder
Al was my idol growing up.
Bass fishing Teams per school.3 pair fishing per high school.
I like the idea of having fishing teams in high school. It’s incredible how much it’s grown since I was in school
👍
👍
200th show KVD??
KVD shows are always great ones. Love chatting with him. He is one of my best friends!
👍👍👍👍👍
👍
Can we get a video on how all the tournaments are seeing record low attendance! In how money has ruined bass fishing!
Come on man! Sounds like you are listening to one RUclips channel. Come on out to a weigh in and tell me there is no crowd. I get being frustrated with FFS but I will never let anything steal my love for the sport. Thanks for watching
Seems like a awful nice guy to be feared
He is one of the nicest. The fear part comes from him being scary to compete against.
Roland or Jimmy! # 200 ?? Dave im a PA guy
Thanks John, I appreciate the support. Those would both be great guests. Go Chiefs!
The whole scope factor has TOTALLY changed the game OBVIOUSLY! It’s not the best angler anymore! It’s the best spotlighter!
Thanks for watching Chad, Let’s hope this season’s schedule helps make that a lot better.
Just think…it’s the Classic 2026…all the hype and media are done with for the day…you lie down to sleep. A flurry of activities are making your mind race…I’ll be out there every night putting big topwater walleye in the boat. So, try counting walleye instead of sheep. I will. Welcome back to Knoxville Dave.
Sounds like a great way to spend a Classic night. I wish I had time to enjoy it with ya.
That is definitely a bite I wanna experience
@ it ruined me on bass fishing. Im kinda of a misfit. I fish for walleye, out of a bass boat with salt water lures in Tennessee? You know we own the world record and the most walleye over 20 lbs. a total of three? You Northerners have no idea the eyes we have. Look up TWRA walleye. Steven Paul I think. Take his word for it.
Im not even watching bass ... livescope is not fishing
Hate to hear that. Hopefully this season’s schedule helps it be more balanced. Thanks for watching and commenting
I’ve honestly seen more fish get lost on a Trokar hooks that’s not bashing it’s just the truth. To me the way the hook is sharpened. Yes it’s super sharp but i believe with the it being cut like a broad head, it puts to big a of a hole in the fish and comes loose where most hooks wouldn’t do that.
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN who was talking about Trokar ?
@ how he was losing fish, isn’t he Trokar user ?
You are correct gammys are 💯 better
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN ya I guess so. However he has also won a ton of events with them? I learned long ago never to second guess an angler as good as he is. That being said I use BKK stuff
@@factsoffishing that can be true but think about how much more he would of won if he wasn’t losing fish ? I know it’s going to happen from time to time and you get in a funk. I’ve been in the boat with alot of different anglers as well and I see ones that use bkk, gammys even tho there point rolls over easy on some of there hooks, hayabusa, vmc and the new redlines. I don’t see a lot of people lose a lot of fish because of those. Just my take and opinion.
Blah, Blah, Blah all you want, its your show Dave!
Well thank you. It’s crazy how some folks get so pissed about 10 minutes of conversation that they don’t like. But folks like you make it all worth while. Thanks for being you Wing
Ol Dave Mercer on the sheet for a bass fishing hofer……. Other than Andy Morgan on the list, nobody deserves it more!!!!!!!!!
Wow thanks very much Brian, you are dead on about Andy. That is a really incredible list
At one point I'm sure anglers worried about all the old guard,FFS is the equalizer. Christie is just another $ donar to the young hands like the rest of us
Thanks for watching James. Those young anglers are great but trust Christie will NEVER be looked at as a donater
Lol Dave you know why your on there let’s be real here
Why is that ?
@@factsoffishingyou have done a lot in the fishing industry wether you wanna take the credit or not. You have done more for this industry than a lot that has been in the industry way longer and has won classics and did nothing to help.
From tv shows to different things you have had your hands in and accomplished your an amazing dude you deserve it!
How excited are you to be America's 51st state? 😂😂
Honestly, I am proud to live and work in the two greatest countries on earth so as long as everyone gets along I am good. I learned long ago to never get stressed over politics.
@@factsoffishingwonderful answer to a dumbass comment!
Johnston brothers are ruining the Elite Series.....this team BS has too stop.
@@TheTrident1982 I totally understand where you are coming from. However I am sorry to break it to you but if you don’t like team fishing you should be against half the field. The brothers are just the best at it right now.
A herd of 20 yr olds that wanna play video games & dont know how to fish
The best part about fishing is you can do it as you wish. I know FFS can be frustrating but don’t let it rob your love for the sport
@ video game fishing never will never rob my love for the sport.
It certainly changes how I view the sport. It also changes my connection to the sport - gone are the days of me loving watching Bassmaster.
All these “ professional anglers” can tell you how hard FFS is - they do that because they want you to think that it’s super hard so they get their props. But let’s be real - one of the most influential and popular “ bass fisherman” is a crappy fisherman…. So let that sink in. A crappy fisherman is one of the best bass fisherman in the world & did so in about 2 years.
True bass fishing is a shell of what it used to be and the reason why there’s so many people that want to get in it is because it’s easy. Just flip on the TV on the front of the deck and throw your lure at’em.
No Chiefs No!
I think that was a typo 😂 Go Chiefs Go!
Jason Christie your one hell of a fisherman
He sure is. Thanks for watching
