Taku is sooooo nice. He was askin people if they wanted to hold the trophy after he won...and of course I said yes! Great tournament!
He is a great human. Thanks for watching Randy
😂😂 wow this interview w/ Taku is great!!
I have never laughed so much during a podcast!!
The fishing industry definitely needs more Taku personality’s and less negativity!
The longer the better!! Don’t ever cut them short.
Agreed!
Thanks Mark, Unfortunately the numbers don’t always support the long show but it’s not all about numbers
I absolutely LOVE listening to takumi talk about fishing and anything, really. His happiness is contagious. I smiled the whole time he was talking..lol
It’s hard not to smile when you are talking to him
I watched the entire interview that Dave Mercer had with Trey Mc Kinney. I have been impressed with Trey McKinney but never more than I am now. What an inspiration he is to so many! I know this setback will not hold him back and pray he can get the much needed rest and that he can enjoy this next month of just fishing before his next big tournament! He always gives God all the glory and has never blamed anyone but himself for the short comings he has had this season which I admire even more and to be only 19 years old. Wishing you the very best, Trey!
That’s great to hear. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
I dont care about Trey McKinney's duck ups! He's 19, he's gonna make alot of mistakes! Trey is a 1% er!!! Trey McKinney could be the greatest angler of all time! Give it time!
I could only imagine how bad I would have screwed up if I was in Treys shoes at 19. Heck i screwed up a lot and I was not doing anything 😂
Damn Dave, had to stop what I was doing to tell you I appreciate you letting us know about Taku's chair
Thanks Nancy, I appreciate your support every week
Man having Taku on the podcast is awesome! Can you please have him on every week. I have watched it 3 times now. He is the best. Keep up the good work Dave.
I don’t mind the long podcasts because I watch them or listen to segments when I am chilling in the man cave or on my morning walk . Always enjoy Taku and Jake’s take ! I’ve been a fan of Taku since he won on the St. Lawrence . Gotta have more “Taku time” in the tournament world these days . His sense of humor is infectious !
I also enjoyed Trey’s honest interview of his mistake at Smith Lake . I think it’s a learning experience for him as a young angler to pay attention to the details .
Thanks Scott, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your feedback
Haven't even watched yet but with this lineup of guests I know it's gonna be a banger! You da man dave! Thanks again for bringing us this show
Thanks for being such a great weekly supporter NC 👊🏻
@@factsoffishing thank you for the great content buddy
The Kid also showed some pretty good class in owning up to his mistake. Hopefully he goes on to have a long and good career
I totally agree Ed, I am sure Trey has a very long as successful career ahead of himself. Just needs to learn from everything
Best show ever.. Absolutely loved this one! Happy 4th Dave..
Thanks Trey, Hope you have a great weekend with your family
Funny thing the young man that’s been riding with in the club just got a boat. He’s been doing very well but ate a 4 lb penalty in our last event for being 4 minutes late. He just underestimated the run. Jakes take is always the best segment of the show! Good thing my delivery was a long drive today, lol.
Dave, the emotion Taku showed on stage and when he caught that big one, is just pure awesomeness. And what better camera man than Jake to be with him when he caught it. To hear how excited Jake was from behind the camera when Taku caught that toad, made it that much better. Absolutely loved it. I have watched that clip 12 times lol.
I could not agree more. That kind of energy is contagious
Trey one hell of a competitor, complete raw emotions. I think as Dave said in interview we see grown supposedly men run and hide after a dumb decision.(superbowl, bad decisions that cost people there careers, etc.) Trey, you got this head north put your blinders on catch big bags, stay focused, and would be the comeback of the year.) I'm your number one fan make it happen. Wish all the best Lunker
Thanks Lunker, everyone makes mistakes it’s how you act after you make them
Wish Taku hadn't told you that powder is a decoy. Now i feel we all just got decoyed with those baits..😀Congrats to Walker and Takumi! Hang in there Trey it aint over you still got a chance. See you next week.👍👍👍👍👍
You never know. I will have him on again in the future. I will get the real powder 😂
Dave you just keep making these shows and reel me in.
Glad you dig em
Thanks Trey for being so honest! We appreciate you so much! Hope the rest of the season is good for you. Good luck in AOY and ROY!
Thanks for watching. It sure was a tough way for Trey to learn but I think he has definitely grown from it
Why didn’t we talk about wheeler?
@@LaurenBaker-yh8dw because I was talking to him about the events at smith. Unfortunately it sounds like you are looking for an attack on him. You will have to watch other podcasts for that, i simply have conversations with anglers.
@@factsoffishing thanks Dave! You are a class act! It is so appreciated. I am so tired of people attacking anglers with misinformation that they pick up on other podcasts. It Is very appreciated and I am sure that Trey appreciates it too.
Can't wait to listen to this, what an absolute all star Jake was last weekend......thanks for filming Ito's epic winning catch on your cell phone. Your excitement really sealed the deal on that footage. In Mercer we trust!
Thanks, the cell phone clip was great. A clutch move.
Thank you, sir!!
@@JakeLatendresse My pleasure Jake, and like every other fan of the sport.....thank you for delivering true goosebump footage! You're a true pro!
Great show once again! Always enjoy Jake's Take and who couldn't love watching Takumi. I could watch him everyday. What a great guy. As for Trey, I think we are still learning who he is, but people forget that this young man is 19 and still learning who he is. He is gonna make mistakes. I am just glad nobody was following me with a camera and microphone at 19. I am impressed he was willing to talk a day after this happened.
I’ve never laughed at a fishing podcast until now 😂Taku is great. They better give him that seat and orange box and carry that trophy for him. He’s a great character.
Thanks for watching, he will get his stuff. If not I will badger them until he does
@@factsoffishingTaku’s not fishing anymore Bassmaster events until he gets his $20 chair and orange box!
$20? That’s a Yeti. Probably $2000!
Trey seems down to earth. Keep your head up and go get em next tournament
I totally agree
@@factsoffishing in my opinion, which doesn’t mean much of nothing to anyone, he needs to do more interviews. If you stay quiet, everything is left to a court of public opinion. And when your paycheck depends on sponsors who depend on your image, it’s good to put good PR out.
Edit: watched him on Tin Horse Monty a few months ago and he did great on it too.
Another great show! Jake is awesome. The passion he has for being a cameraman and a father never gets old.
Taku is one of my favorites. He's so good for the sport. It's got to be tough being away from his family for months at a time. I'll never know that sacrifice. I'm sorry but I find it hilarious he gave you a decoy powder. What a sneaky dude.
Trey, I've a fan of him since the Lake Fork tournament. I was 19 once, and was irresponsible . No excuses but the mistakes he's made are learning moments. Young and dumb is what my dad always said. Don't misunderstand, I don't think Trey is dumb in any sense. He's got a shot at AOY. It's a fight now, but that should give him motivation to be as good as he can be! Thanks Dave for a great show!
Thanks so much for watching. I agree with you on all accounts. Have a great day
Taku is awesome! For trey to admit what he done on here show why he was leading. He will pull it out. Thanks Dave
Thanks for watching Mark, I am sure Trey will get stronger from this.
Smith Lake was an incredible event!! I love it when they are that close with the remaining field having a shot at the win! Glad I got to be at Friday's weigh-in where I stood next to a 9 year old girl who I asked who her favorite angler is and she said, "I like Takumi! He's my favorite." Way to go Jake! Doing what it takes as always. Dave, keep doing what you do - I agree that longer is better! We'll watch it!
Thanks very much Dean, I am glad you made it to a weigh in. I almost never made that weight in. Glad I got there just on time
Great show again Dave! Jakes Take is one of the best segments on any podcast. Taku is an absolute hammer and it is refreshing to hear his stories. His English has come such a long way since he first showed up here on the Elites and the adversity he deals with being away from his home 8 months out of the year is crazy. I have a new found respect for Trey. His only excuse is that he just got confused and admitted it. Sounds pretty stand up to me. He said he's not a northern fishery guy, but rest assured, he will figure them out and probably wins AOY. I think he's that good of a fisherman. Dave, thanks for another week of a fantastic show!!
How can people be down on Trey? When you were 19, what were you doing? Making mistakes is part of growing up. You learn from your mistakes. Hope Trey still wins the AOY!
Thanks for watching. Sadly I think many people forget what its like to be 19
Longer the better !! 🎉
Thank then you should enjoy this one
Love listening to Jake’s Take! Always my favorite segment
Just got started on this one. Will probably have to comment again later. Just want to say to Jake, High Five!! ✋️ to you and Walker. Also, no words needed at all. The emotions say it all.
Trey, I’m a God fearing man myself. This happened to humble you a little bit. I appreciate you sharing your faith and I admire your passion, just let it humble you, learn from it. You’ve got the fishing part down, now just focus a little bit more on becoming a more well rounded champion
Jake I know how proud you are of your son. It is great to see the emotion. I just had the same experience. Watching my son finish 2nd in the ACA college bass fishing national championship on Pickwick. He loves bass fishing. It is a great feeling seeing your children succeed at what they want to do in life.
That is awesome! Congrats to your son. Hope to see him on the bassmaster stage one day in the future
that’s so awesome for your son and you!! Watching your child succeed reaches deep into us because all we really want for our kids is to be successful and fulfilled to their potential. 👊🏼
Trey is the most impressive young man I’ve ever met and I’ve lived a lot of life. He’s not just a great angler, he’s a great human being. I’d never bet against him.
I got to watch Walker box as well and was super impressed! I love seeing the emotion from Jake, shows how much he cares and proud of his son.
Ya it was very cool to watch
Thank you so much for supporting Walker!!! It all meant so much to him each day in preparation and his confidence!! 👊🏼
Jake enjoys his job which makes his shows the best
Ya gotta love what you do
This one tho, Jake's not even done talking and this episode like the last, just tops it. Love this show! Dave keep em coming and happy 4th!! Murica
Edit: Walker you're the man!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoy it! I will keep trying to bring a good show every week
Damn Dave, that’s probably the greatest show you have ever put together, totally awesome, thank you buddy
Thanks Marty, That says a lot, especially coming from you. I am pretty sure you have watched every episode
Another gem of a podcast Dave! Loving the long format for sure. Gives me a chance to watch a segment, then watch the next guest when I have a chance. Oh yeah...Taku is the #1 guest of all time in my opinion. That man had me laughing to tears this episode!
Keep up the great work as always sir! 🍻
Thanks very much Roger, glad you enjoyed, I have a feeling Taku is going to become a show regular.
Takumi is super funny! Good for him on the win💪
Taku is a great dude. Thanks for watching
Very honest response from Trey. It's not over till it's over. Keep on fishing . Next tournament will be a whole new game!
He was very mature for a 19 year old. Thanks for watching !
Great show Dave!! Jake as always so entertaining and hearing about the behind the scenes is awesome!! Takumi is a first class champ!! Thanks for helping through another hump day!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support Jeffrey
I love trey but I will say when you have your parents help you though life where you don’t have to deal with true issue on your own and stress because mom and dad are there to take over, those people seem to wanna give up a whole lot sooner, where as when your 19 or 17 and life slaps you in the face and you have to grow up earlier you deal with life a lot differently and have experienced a lot more and dealt with issues more differently. This has gotta drive you to prove people wrong even tho you shouldn’t have to it’s part of it, you can just give up when it gets hard. This is some of the biggest adversity he’s dealt with since he started I bet. This should do nothing but make trey stronger and I pray that it does.
I think people gotta remember how young he is. I am sure he will grow from this. I think him sitting down with me less than 24hrs after it all happened proves that
Another great one Mr. Mercer! Don't care how long the shows are! U bring the good stuff! Luv the positivity! It was awesome listening to Jake cheering Takumi on while he was filming! Keep em coming bud!
Thanks so much Grant, I appreciate you watching and commenting. Life is too short to waste it being negative
That was a great episode Dave
@@jamesmims5850 thanks James, I appreciate the support
Another great one! No issue with length…just listen in segments. See you at Champlain!
Thanks Rick, I look forward to seeing you there. One day I gotta get you to tell some of your Marshal stories on the pod
Taku was the best with the fake sushi and the special powder he gave you Dave. I laughed so hard. This was the best show ever. Thank you Dave
Great show, Jake had some better info on this one.😂 great to see his son do so well in boxing. Taku is a beast. Still crazy for wanting to chase killer bees. Those baits were crazy. Trey is getting it figured out. He is to good not to be able to overcome this small setback. Can’t wait to watch the northern swing. Tight lines Dave.
I have gained a lot of respect for you trey. Keep up the work
Thanks, I hope many others do also
Great show Dave. Seeing Jake so proud of his son was emotional to watch. Taku’s so cool to listen to. I want video of you and him chugging beers! 😎🍻
Thanks Jim, Not sure there will be video of that 😂
Love the super sized episode! Amazing stories from Jake and Taku! Trey was surprisingly open on honest about the whole situation. Which is one thing that she has now done twice this season, first time doing a quick interview owning up to his first violation. Great to see!
What exactly are the rules if the somehow happens to be a tie after Day 4?
I think Trey's the Real deal and it's sad the way the Elite Veterans have acted whining a
and complaining. Dave Thanks for letting Him talk and not talking over Him..
Taku is the best. Cant wait to hear more Japan secrets
He sure is a lot of fun. More secrets will be revealed in the future
Love the mega episodes!
Another great show, thank you. Jake is legit, it's so awesome to see someone so passionate and thoughtful about his job. Great dad too! And I am loving the Taku / Kyoya soap opera develop before our eyes, lol. I wonder if Kyoya thought Taku was just a youtuber and not a hardcore fisherman... To be continued 😎
Normally a Spotify listener but had to check out the RUclips when taku started showing baits lol!!
Well welcome to RUclips. Feel free to watch on both, we can use all the help we can get 😂
Very happy for Walker getting the bronze ! Hardest sport in the world ! And then Taku has become my favourite angler ! If you dont like him ? You dont like yourself! Great show as always dave its 325am and im heading out fishing on the july 4th
Thanks John, I hope you catch em
Thanks for supporting Walker!!! Taku is so infectious!!
more Taku time after last week's show!
Got all the time to listen long
I hope to have him on a bunch. He is great
Thanks Leland
It might be a 3 episode show but it was great. Just going to talk about the Trey McKinney part though. People should have a different view of Trey if they had a dislike or jealous view of him before this interview. Should explain basically most everything about him, and I’m so glad you got him to agree to the interview. I think he needed it as much as anyone. Why do I think it explains most everything…dude, he spilled his guts to you. All you had to do was start the conversation and he unloaded all of the pent up emotions he had tearing his insides apart. I guess he’s having to learn some hard lessons early in life partly because he hasn’t experienced much outside of his core group of people. Sounds like his only focus was fishing and that was basically it besides his love for the Lord. He never had to worry about taking care of “the small things” because others did that for him. Now all of the sudden he’s leading the elite series and everyone is wanting him to do some sponsorship obligations, interviews, and other things besides fishing and he had too much going on and made mistakes. It’s a good and bad thing when you’re leading the points in the Elite series. With more success comes more commitments and I’m sure tough to deal with when all he wants to do is fish and probably had no clue how to manage the rest of the job. I think he’s a great kid who will have a lot of life lessons to learn, but that’s what molds us. You were the perfect guy for that interview. 👊
Had tp stay up past my bedume to finish listening to this podcast. What a great show!
Dave, your podcast is getting to be like Rogan's....3 hrs. And it was great.
Thanks so much Scott, Rogan is the podcast king. To be compared to him in any way is a absolute privilege. For the most part all we have in common is we are both bald and we both have long podcasts 😂
@@factsoffishing You both let your guests speak without interupting them and look to genuinelly seem interested in what they say. I really like Rogan's podcast and yours.....you are both great at interviewing.
It's really going to be something when Trey wins AOY!
It definitely could happen. Only time will tell
Mega show dave 👊 congratlations taku
Thanks Slab
😂❤I love this show and I love Taku!!! Thanks Dave!!
That was awesome!!!
Absolutely love both jake and taku. Dont want to bring straight negativity because both of them are so awesome. However, I cant help but think karma just finally caught up with Trey because of how much he has pushed the limits of the grey area all year.
@@davidhawkins6776 I just think he is a 19 year old kid making a few dumb choices like all 19 year olds do. I’m sure he will learn from this.
Taku is a Japanese Googan... 💯
I'm a 1962, 62 year old Googan fan boy... 🍺🎣
#supportingthenextgenerarion
Taku is the best
Perfect! My road trip track! Thanks Dave…. I gotta run, my mom just called and I’m late 😂…. Bassin Fun, Out 👊
Thanks hope you enjoy. That’s funny but not funny 😂
@@factsoffishing I know, but who wouldn’t? As an outsider I have plugged the young man for sitting with you.… He’ll get it all figured out.
Great pod cast again Dave! Fish On!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks George
Taku and Jake are the dream team! Thanks for the great show Dave
Also great with Jake and BIG shout out to Walker and dad Jake for his Bronze medal performance. Onward and upward dude.
Thanks for watching Ed. Walker is just getting started, I can’t wait to watch him progress. Go Walker
Thank you!! Outside support is a huge asset in competition!! He was so much more confident with everyone’s attention.
Once again, awesome show Dave! Jake's take great as always. Taku IS the best. My daughter is a fan of his and took the time after a day at the Fork tourney to video chat with her on my phone because she was on a trip in the UK and could not be there. Been a fan of Trey since the season started. Just wondering if he made things right with G Man. If anything was put out about it, i missed it.
Thanks Jeff, That’s a great story about Taku. Thanks for sharing it. Not sure about G & Trey making up. I think that may take some time. I wish I could get them both to sit down and talk it out. They both are incredible people. I’m sure in time all will be ok. People get heated in a competitive environment. Thanks for watching and commenting
A very humbling experience I hope it is learned from and the lord will. Bless in many ways may not be fishing but will last a life time. Keep your head up and kick butt!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Byron, A tough way to learn but as long as he learns it’s worth it. He had a long career ahead of him
This is pure gold!
I’d love to see BassTrakk stop updating with 1 hour left in the day. I’d also like to see anglers prevented from viewing BassTrakk until after they weigh in.
You and I both 😂
Agreed, Would make the Final Weigh in Wayyy Better..90 % of the Time we already know who Won.
On tournament days I listen to 7 hours of live and a weigh in don't cut these we want more!
That’s a good way of looking at it 😂. Thanks for the support.
I have a little shop that sells almost everything that he showed and I can say they worked really well this spring on northern smallmouth
Great Show this week Dave 👏
@@codyhooser3333 thanks Cody, I appreciate the support
I enjoy the long shows, keep up the good work! And get Taku his seat 😂
Another great show!
Great show Dave all three was great keep up the good work
I watch in segments sometimes and sometimes I can watch all at once. I watch um though. Awesome stuff!
Thanks Lance, as long as you are watching I am happy
We love you Taku! Keep throwing Dave off your trail with the fake powder 😂 Trey gets way too much hate, mistakes happen, keep grinding and go win it all!
I will get the real powder 😂. Thanks for watching
Love the Show, every episode. As for Trey he is a straight up kid. I have an 18 year old son and they don’t think things all the way through. Hell I didn’t either. He will just have to man up head down and go fishing!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I totally agree, I think a lot of people forget what it is like to be 19 years old
Hope the kid stays safe on the big water.
That’s the truth. I hope they all stay safe on the big water
Jake you’re awesome!
Taku is hilarious. His energy is contagious and that is AWESOME! I love Trey, I think he has a lot to learn but as someone in il there are no doubts he is a great fisherman. Has the right attitude as well! Praying for great things to come for him! Much love Trey! Haters gonna hate. We just call em fans, A lot of bitter people out there that hate their own life so they are always upset. It'll all work out. Just keep on doing you man.
Fully loaded!
You got that right
The length of the show doesn't matter Dave. It's always a great podcast.
Jake has such a unique voice. I wonder if he is a singer because it would make you think that. He would sing like that whiskey rasp type voice. LMAO on the decoy/ fake magic power. Great podcast as usual!
😮 The DANCING BUZZERDS ! 😮😮😮
Those things are a problem
Cheering for you Trey! Go crush the northern swing
He is already up there catching smallmouth. I have a feeling he is going to learn and grow from this. Thanks for watching and commenting
Okay, second comment. Took a while to watch. (That’s not a complaint. Promise.). Taku has to be the nicest, funniest dude out there. Would love to be his marshal, become friends and tell him where I live and invite him to come visit. Trey is maturing more and more and 👍👍to him for sharing his thoughts on his misfortune. Kid has a bright future.
To self-report knowing the astronomical implications on angler of the Year says a lot of someone's character.. I've gained a new amount of respect for trey, I've always appreciated his work ethic and how he approaches the sport and always being on the right side of anything and any drama.. I really hated that it had to happen this way and he lost his grip on angler of the year because that says more about an angler than a bassmaster classic win if you ask me... My own opinion I guess!! I couldn't wait to watch the little dude except that award and hold it high. And if I told you that I wasn't a little upset on the inside that he lost it over something so simple and small I would be lying.. but to take the initiative and self-report knowing the implications and knowing what's on the line, I don't think some people will be able to wrap their mind around with a big deal that is!!
He dealt with it like a man. You have to self report if you respect the sport at all. It’s not over yet he is only 24 points back. It got a lot tougher but it’s far from over. Thanks for watching and commenting
He did not self report. He lied on stage and also should’ve been DQd at wheeler. Might should’ve waited a day before you posted the feel sorry for Trey pod.
@@LaurenBaker-yh8dw he did self report, I checked with the tournament director. How it works is you sign the back of your weigh in slip and talk to the tournament director after weigh in.
This was also far from a feel sorry for Trey podcast. It was a simple conversation asking him how he saw things. Sounds like your mind was made up already.
@@factsoffishing he was told he needed to self report. So guess that’s true. But he was not going to. I’m not attacking the kid as much as I am you and BASS trying to hide everything he does. Turning into MLF
He lied on stage. All this is out there on video. And the guy who told him he better self report has already put it out there. The veterans are calling this stuff out and you and bass just spit in their face. Plenty of badass rookies this year that need more coverage instead of a couple that bring up questions every event.
I’ve been trying to find the video of taku catching the 6 pounder and havent been able to find it. Is it out there somewhere on the internet?
Hey Joel, Thanks for watching. I went and found that video for you. It’s at the tale end of this highlight video. Around 10 min www.bassmaster.com/highlights/video/highlights-day-4-action-at-smith-lake/
Thank you!
I just watched it, that’s so awesome. I’m not gonna lie, it made me tear up a little 😂
Love the long episodes, Jake's Take and Taku were top notch as always. Trey kept saying over and over it was the 7 minutes. It wasn't him being late, he could've missed weigh in and it not been a big deal. It was him answering the call. And then him calling out people calling him out. He ran the bridge, admitted to not watching the videos, and then breaks a rule. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's how you handle them and react to them.
I think he clearly owned up to all of that. Not sure when he called out people for calling him out? However thank you for watching
@@factsoffishing"he's cheating, he's doing this, he's getting an edge... the imagination of some of these people... that's crazy" He was leading the AOY and got a penalty for running a no wake, a penalty for not watching the video, and DQ'd for breaking a rule, and fined and warned for cutting live trees at Wheeler. No imagination, just people critical of his action
I was hoping Trey would explain when he realized he broke a rule and when he self reported. I believe when he weighed his fish on stage, he knew he broke a rule. On stage he said, "something don't feel right" when he realized he was late. Yeah, something didn't feel right...someone told you you're late.
It seems the reality of the situation is that he had his check in time mixed up, that's an understandable (but stupid) mistake. When you have your check in time mixed up, usually you don't just show up only 6 minutes late.
He may be a great kid, but he's got some growing up to do.
I think he clearly explained that. He got a call from a family member asking if he was ok. Then realized he was late, so he got in 7 minutes late. When he weighed in he signed the back of his weight slip which means he has a rules infraction to talk to Lisa (the Tournament Director) about. Lisa called him after weigh in and him getting the call was revealed. Thats why he had a 7lb penalty originally then it was changed to him losing his full weight from day 2. Hope this helps ya
@factsoffishing I understand that. In a case like this, is the DQ immediately known, or does it take a while for the TD to make sure the correct call is made?
What I'm saying is I have my doubts that he'd self report something if he knew he wouldn't get caught. What he said on stage almost seemed like he wasn't revealing what actually happened. Go back and watch what he told you if you haven't yet.
Could it be intentional, maybe? Is it immaturity, possibly? He's learning the hard way for sure.
Great start to the show Dave, LONG or SHORT lol
Glad you liked that part Ed
Jake, when the man upstairs had you come down he broke the mold, Dave that was a nice piece off moderation, your the best. 👍 nice to tray M.😮
thank you so much!! I always have fun with Mercer
Jake is a good human. I appreciate you watching and commenting. The Trey stuff was easy he was very open
Had a four hour dribe for parts your show sure made it easy that tray sounds like a grown man talking not a young man great show
Thanks William, That’s a great compliment. Glad the show could help
Pokémon 🔥🔥🔥🔥Taku is the best winner of the season so far! That 6 lb spot is gonna be the stuff of legends forever!
I agree, what a fish catch and what a cell phone video by Jake
I love the long ones 😂
Gee thanks 😂
