Rick has always been one of the most fascinating people to me . His philosophy about fishing and life in general . Met him at a classic and he is such a great guy . He has given more to the sport than any other angler past or present . One of a kind person . He doesn't need anything but a boat and a rod and reel . Natural raw talent . These guys will never compare to him . Thanks Rick for all that you have taught over the years .
Drew Rick on the last day of the Texas Invitational on Toledo Bend in June of 1980. He was very gracious and a perfect gentleman. A day I’ll never forget.
Awesome interview!!! I ran into Rick in the hallway at a Pitman Creek Wholesale show and told him about a RC2.5 bait I had been using. He told me to come to the show early so we could talk squarebill fishing. We talked a good 2 hrs about technics,line diameter and presentations. He then autographed my chewed up RC2.5 and gave me a new one (that bait is now retired) in the trophy case.
He also told me about Cody Huff and Cody was still in High school!!!!
I had just taken notice of B.A.S.S. tournaments in 1976. I was 15 when Rick won the classic that year.
I followed his career through the pages of Bassmaster for years and I was finally fortunate enough to share the back of his boat during one of the earliest B.A.S.S. Pro-am tournaments.
I have always admired him and I was always anxious to listen to him and learn.
The Legend! My first baitcaster was a purple Rick Clunn from Bass Pro years ago. Love to see him still at it!
Trait !! So glad she’s apart of this. I’m here for it. Thanks to Rick for fantastic words of wisdom. Truly an angler to look up to.
Rick has this life thing figured out more than anyone I've seen. His outlook really makes me think of each day being it's own separate life, and to do your best to live each day as it's a new and last one. Great stuff guys
Glad to see Trait building her confidence. Glad to see her making content.
🙏
This was such an awesome interview. You two did a great job. His comments on the split and MLF format were so well said. Thanks for sharing 🙌
THIS WAS GREAT! Love the Content and the Battle Born Studio looks great!
Awesome!!! Can’t wait to see more ❤
Excellent interview. Impressed with Zaldaingerous team too!
Could listen to him for hours! Think the podcast is awesome, keep it up! Hope y’all are doing well, have a good off season!
Awesome episode …! Thanks
Great interview! Thanks.
The best clunn interview I have ever heard...thanks
I've learned so much about Rick Clunn in this interview. Thank you for this great interview. I look at Rick in a completely different way now. He has gone from just a great fisherman to my hero. Love how he is mentally. We need more people like him in this world.
Great interview. Enjoyed it very much.
Absolutely loved the video Chris and Trait....keep up the great work y'all!!!
This is one of the best if not the best interview video? Podcast I have listened to in a while!!! Love the questions and answers given by Rick! I learned quite a few things! Great Job!!!
Was awesome to see all three of you at US Open 2022, and now this podcast. Thanks I was amazed how down to earth Chris is with fans even when Trait yelling at you to get boat out of water lol and how nice Rick was to me. Good Times. Chris you are funny lol
That was awesome, Rick is a bad ass. Very good show
That was awesome. Seeing a different side of anglers is what we need more of. Rick is a deep individual. Changed my day right around. Thank you
Thanks for this, Al! That’s the goal of this podcast 👊🏽
Wow!!! One the greatest interviews in Bass Fishing!! Great Show!!
This is an ultimate all-time one of one presentation. Thank you.
I’m 49 years old and used to beg for Bassmaster magazine at the grocery store checkout. Read many articles with him in it. Thanks for exposing the personal side of Rick.
Man this struck deep and I totally understand and agree with everything Rick said and stands for. Great stuff guy and gals. Loved it.
This is great! I enjoyed watching it. Trait’s questions had me dying 😂🎣
She likes to ask the awkward questions 😅
Awesome show, with a true legend of the sport and mankind.
Y’all killed it with this, so glad I came across it. The Zaldaingerous ones. More please. The west coast misses you.
He goes to US Open, i sacrificed 4 days vacation time to see him, you can too
the legend and why he's the legend. AMAZING podcast episode!!
Wow Rick is Incredibly insightful and current with his thoughts. Awesome
Awesome podcast/video keep it up!!!!
Thanks bro, very inciteful. Love his philosophy of life.
Clunn quoting Einstein is not what I was expecting. 🔥🔥
He’s a true intellect and deep thinker
@@Zaldaingerous Also, great questions from you and Trait. Looking forward to more
What a great podcast! I truly hope you have Rick back on another one. I remember when there was some kind of vote years ago. It was who is the best or greatest bass fisherman ever. I struggled to decide between Clunn and KVD. I finally picked Clunn for multiple reasons but yes it was Clunn! I understand what Rick was saying about the masses moving to MLF and basically the Legacy of anglers having to start over. I think mainly he was referring to KVD but could be wrong. That made a lot of sense to me at that point. Only time will tell but I do understand what was being presented to the anglers willing to make the move. I could go on forever about this subject but one thing I do believe for sure. Mr. Rick Clunn is a smart man and ahead of his time ❤
Glad to be watching 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
👊🏽
Incredible interview. Y’all are doing great things. Really enjoy the show.
Thank you Dave!
Awesome interview…and you are gonna make it happen…hammer them!
Thanks Rick!! 😊
Just needs to be watched multiple times. Respect!
Great show and awesome guest. 👌
What a great pod, Rick's a damn legend. RESPECT.
Great episode, first time I’ve ever heard him speak in that format
Great video!!!
Great podcast Chris, Rick has some good insight on life.
thanks for putting more rick clunn out there.. he is the only other fisherman I've heard quote joseph campbell other than my father (and me)
Living FKN Legend!! Excuse my language but thats what comes to mind when I see Rick Clunn!
Nice show.. Just Subscribed!! Love Chris and Trait Good job guys!!
Thanks for the subscription 🙏
Awesome stuff guys
Love listening to Rick's stories 👏
More JUICE here than most can appreciate! LISTEN & LEARN! GREAT SHOW!😊👍🎣🎣
Always love listening to Clunn.
My all time favorite fisherman.
Epic podcast man!!!
No fear in the heart! Love it!!
Loved this.
good stuff, had me chuckling
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great show listening to Rick say things about MLF and Kevin Vandams "end of his career" that I've been thinking since the split
LETS GOOOO!!! Zaldain’s & The GOAT… Let’s party Ehh
👊🏽
@@Zaldaingerous this is unreal for a proper bass fan to see from home, someone we don’t get to chat and interact with (you Trait & Chris). And you’ve brought us the goat as well. You’ve set a high bar with RC and I can’t wait to see more moving forward.
Fantastic conversation, lots of wisdom really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
probably some of the coolest words iv heard come out of a professional anglers mouth. Always respected him but didn't know he was the person he is. I definitely have a new respect for him
Not enough of the new crop have had a chance to get to know him. I hope to have him on a couple of more times to talk.
What a great pod cast!. Let's go Okeechobee.
Rick is a master in every sense of the word.
When Rick talks listen and learn!
Amazing video. Clunn will forever be 🐐
WOW....I am only 8 minutes into this video, and I am going to save the rest of this video until later when I can focus. Also, this season you went into my top 5
One word
AWESOME!!!!!
Great podcast he still the legend 👏
Legendary!
Trait asks some wild questions. I love it.
Rick is a Mind! A lot of great points! Mindset is so important in all aspects of life!
Great listen will be hard to follow up this one.
I have listened to two videos today touching my heart with physics references. One with a reaction to Alice Cooper and now a fishing video. Great day. Great interview.
Fished with him in the pro am he won at Douglas GOAT
The Goat for sure... 'til we meet again
Godspeed 🍺🎣
🍻
I wouldn't be surprised if RC smoked a dooby every once in a while. But seriously, Rick has always been my favorite growing up. Jimmy Houston is a close second. Both have such PMA powers! God bless em both!
Rick is a freaking gem
hopefully this industry can get its shit together and make a proper league there is a lot of greedy people pushing money around for reasons
Mane I pray I get the opportunity to talk to this man one day… he’s really a blessing to my life with his knowledge and information. I follow all his platforms!! He’s a pure well of wisdom!!!
Everything Mr Clunn said about the 2019 split was spot on correct.
By far Rick Clunn best ever period
Love the intro music
The coolest dude to ever fish. ♥️
Wonderful man anywhere
Thanks, Chris for this great interview with a hero of mine since 1976. A few corrections: 16:18....The next BM Classic after Rick's second Classic win was at Ross Barnett, not Texoma. 44:20.....Rick is incorrect when saying he made more money winning the Red Man All-American than in his 4 Classic wins. The first 3 Classics, yes, but the 1990 Classic win put him at $142,225.
That was real. Thanks girl n guys 😁😂
legend
Rick just mind blew me
Id love some time stamps on these podcasts !!! :)
Great podcast!
Thanks Tony!
@@Zaldaingerous Troy...lol
@@troyrichardson4049 I blame auto correct 🤣
Fish every day like it’s Championship Sunday brother
James Cagnet age 7 from Indiana is tuned in before bed !
👊🏽
NorCal born in the house!
👊🏽
That beat in the intro is so nasty
Could you imagine pro fighters weighing in on different scales? 🤔 Any competition that involves weight has one scale and one person calling the weight.
How rick dont have more wins and tiles is what blows my mind im shocked it not more than KVDs dude has a beauitiful mind
You rock!!! Go win or tie with Jason Christie
👊🏽
You guys are do great interviews and I really like what Trait? adds to the conversation. One thing that's fascinated me about bass fishing for a long time is surely good fisherman love fishing because of some connection with the outdoors and the environment. But the look and presentation of "pro' bass fishing is something where all that is stripped away and the focus is on the baits, the machismo, the gear, rods, sponsors, prize money, electronics. Bass fishing online or tv gives me very little about the environment or ecosystem in which this activity takes place, or even the beauty of the settings, which are fundamental to my own love of fishing. I could understand if it was just the top guys with all the crazy stuff but it seems like just to be in the club you need a boat, trailer, truck, 20 rods and a million baits that the average weekend person will barely use up. I appreciate your show because at least the commercialism is compartmentalized and I can avoid it if I want.
We have a lot of plans that would allow us to get away from the Nascar look while we make films and dig deeper into the side of the outdoors that made all 3 (Me, Johnny Z our cameraman and Trait)of us fall in love with fishing. The biggest hurdle was convincing companies that we don’t need logos everywhere and loads of gear when we tell our stories, that the commercialization actually hinders our stories. If we can do what we have planned this June, it’ll be something you and many of the purists will appreciate.
@@Zaldaingerous Love it. I'm a big fan of the Mill House and Capt. Jeff just because it isn't so commercial and they speak from a place of knowledge and curiosity, You guys are similar.. All the best.
Rick is a great angler and a great guy, top 3 for sure no matter where you put him! But for us, Bill Dance and KVD edge him out on the GOAT list! Great episode though, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see who you guys have on next, maybe those other two guys we mentioned, or some other legends of the sport like Gary Klein, Roland Martin, or Jimmy Houston? Can't wait to see what y'all do!
The best angler that ever lived.
She is getting Rick mixed up with Randy on naked fishing.
Always bumped into Rick here and there, we had a good talk at Bull Shoals where he and Melissa was camping good talk and visit.
