My PB was 14.5 lbs. Almost 40 years ago. I'm still lookin for my next PB. NOTHING compares to a lunker in the teens! I can't imagine one over 17. Wow!!!
Haters will hate. We true anglers know that feeling. It cannot be duplicated. Those who choose to comment negatively are they themselves truly unhappy. I have been fishing for over 40 years and I congratulate you and your crew for letting those of us who can only dream of such incredible catches, the opportunity to share in your unique experiences. Thank you all for what you do, the hard work and dedication it takes to bring these memorable experiences to us, the true fanatics. Thanks...
anyone who fishes for bass needs to know what the feeling of catching a teener or double digi is! best feeling in the world you literally jump outta your skin! sweet vid cousin!
I just lost a double digit two weeks ago watched him turn broadside and headshake just under the surface and watch my live target shiner fly out his mouth
Little dave look at the minute where it's in the net.its not in th he boat but it's in the net.the net isn't being held down by his hand or knee.its just there and the biggest fish of his like is in the net and he let's go.no fear of anything. What keeps that net from going in the water with a giant bass in it.come on little dave open your eyes
@@randyjohnson6845 Not real sure what you are suggesting...that it was really only 13 pounds and therefore he wasn't worried about losing the fish? Watch it from the other angle. The net is so close to the boat that there isn't enough leverage for the weight of the fish to pull it down ruclips.net/video/awjcXHUcXCI/видео.html
@@sgib199 I'm not doubting its 17 I'm not doubting he caught it.it just looks so suspicious. His original first release was LAME.it never showed no fish until he brings it out of the net.theres sounds and voices that seem to be a second person on the boat.no video shows a second guy.it says that his friends and other guys knows what happened.what the hell do they know if they wasn't in the boat? They know hes got a 17 pounder in his boat and they know the story he's pimping.thats all they.was there a second guy in the boat and was he ghost?and is it just a coincidence he starts pimping his bait and new scent seconds before he catches the big one? What are the chances he starts pimping and says this bait has not been released. And today is its first time in the water.it dont even has a name yet. it a coincidence?the second video is better. Why didnt he release that first.i think he caught it and its 17 pounds. But theres a slight chance he just reconstructed the scene.
Great Vedio, thanks 😊 was with my buddy Scott when he nailed a 17 at wohlford back in the day. Was on cloud nine for years after my 15. I still look at that mount each day in my loft and smile. Long time ago, but congrats.
Bro, I'm a little older and see the haters on you! Success is the best way to quiet them, and you're doing a great job homie. This was so sick and would love to see different angles. One of my goals is to fish and have a convo with you young man. Keep slaying.
WOW! that’s awesome to watch. Great video, man. Congrats on such an achievement and thanks for being so open about it and showing everyone else how to do it.
I know the feeling of being in a no catch drought . It's almost depressing. So wired because if I got in a drought and take a week off. When I hit that water again I'm braking my PB! Great vid!!!!!
That was the best c2c video I’ve ever watched, from the narration to the excitement and hype at the end, I audibly said holy shit when you lifted her from the net. What a fish man. And that’s why I grind 🤙🏽
Bro the mix between hip hop and bass fishing. Literaly the dopest shit ever. I'm a big head man and an even bigger bass fishing addict, It's another element living in harmony boiiii! Respect kid.
Ever since I was a little kid when I seen the world record large mouth in the Guinness book of world records, I've had that little voice in the back of my head that the next one could be the one. Keep your dream going dude.
I've been waiting to see this catch for awhile, the talk of the good year and struggle that happened before this fish was a nice touch. Hell of a fish my man 🔥
I feel you bro! So stoked to watch that. I’ve caught three 8lbers and that freaked me out with adrenaline, so I can only imagine what a 17 feels like. I really enjoy the channel. Keep going!
I don't understand why people hate because you are catching DD fish...to hell with them!! Nice fish and video bro, would love to see the other camera angle.
Great video Oliver! You used the keyword multiple times, "goals"!!!!! I am so far behind where you are but setting big goals and intermediate goals is what it's all about. I did get my 23rd state after the Classic, video is up on my RUclips channel. Thanks for coming by the Wraptor booth. Might be a good way to store those big swimbaits
awesome job, PB for me is an 11.46 and I felt like it was a world record because I had never seen a bass that big. Ya what an incredible feeling you mist have had. Although my fish was much smaller my biggest to that point you was about a 6! I was just as stoked as you. were after you caught that fish! Thank you for vid
Wow, outstanding Billy. The winter of 2014-15 is a winter to remember for you. I've sold it now but I had a BT ProTeam 185 for about 15 yrs. Looks like you were fishing out of a ProTeam 185 or 175 that day you caught the 17 lb'er.
Excellent video and commentary. Put no thought into the haters, they got a job to do, which is to hate on you. Celebrate with the champagne fountain of tears pouring out their eyes
I couldnt imagine. My PB was 7lbs 12oz. Thats a rare catch of a lifetime. You are a persistent awesome fisherman. Maybe one day soon you will catch the next world record, over 30lbs. Can you imagine!
California lake catching lake Okeechobee FL bass..way way back in the 70s and 80s CA and FL did some research on what large mouth bass strain grew the fastest and bigger with all things being equal. Lake Okeechobee bass were the best and St John's river bass was second. They were fed the same in the same tanks and small ponds with the same temperatures and food.CA then purchased the majority of Okeechobee yearlings and some St John's yearlings.And this is what you come up with. Maybe the best big bass lakes on the planet
I got a few things I need to do over the next 2 years. Buy a boat being one. Than I'm going to Mexico once a year until I get that teener. My pb is 5lb 11oz but got 6 fish over 5lb . All in Massachusetts. That was all from 05 -2012. Just got back into it heavy 6 months ago & coming across Oliver's videos got me hooked on big glide,wake & swimbaits. I love throwing a big rat. 17lber sheesh
Absolutely love this video! The commentary was golden. It's amazing what you accomplished in those 7 weeks. I very likely won't even catch 2-300 5 lbers in my lifetime haha! Keep slaying and paving new roads!
My PB was 14.5 lbs. Almost 40 years ago. I'm still lookin for my next PB. NOTHING compares to a lunker in the teens! I can't imagine one over 17. Wow!!!
14.5er is a monster. I hope to even get a double digit one day. Tough as I live in Massachusetts but I plan on getting a Mexico trip in this year

Another angle you ask? Yes please! Freaking amazing and awe inspiring!

What an adjustment, that's experience right there. You can't teach that. Awesome Oliver 👊🏼
That's a TRUE BIG BASS DREAM! GREAT CATCH!

Haters going to do their thing homie, u do urs and keep on ur journey homie 🙏🏼
Sweet beyond sweet. I'm so happy for you. Incredible fish!!!

@bigbassdreams u are the TRUE bug bass king !
I wonder if any fish like these are still around today, I can relate to sticking around pyramid lake and being unaware of potential spots
big bass at 9:11
Thierry Joubert u meant 9:15 your welcome
Gloria Eagletail 9:13.5 exactly... Your welcome
I do not see how anyone can hate on that? Great job bradda!
Congrats man! I don't know what I'd do if I caught a bass over 10lbs. Damn 17.4!!!!!
WOW! that’s awesome to watch. Great video, man. Congrats on such an achievement and thanks for being so open about it and showing everyone else how to do it.
I watched this agin agin ! Even 4yrs later I’m still watching this !
I never get tired of watching this.
I know the feeling of being in a no catch drought . It's almost depressing. So wired because if I got in a drought and take a week off. When I hit that water again I'm braking my PB! Great vid!!!!!
That never gets old Oliver!!! Once again congrats man what an awesome fish
FAKE NEWS!! J/k you're the best Oliver, inspiration to me down here in FL chasing bass over 15lb +. Keep up the great work with BBD!
The best part of the video is the YES! At the end you can just feel your excitement! Nice catch man
That was the best c2c video I’ve ever watched, from the narration to the excitement and hype at the end, I audibly said holy shit when you lifted her from the net. What a fish man. And that’s why I grind 🤙🏽
She will be back in the same spot maybe a world record in a couple years. Well done.
That is the definition of EPIC. I'd totally gobble up the other camera angles as well.
Bro the mix between hip hop and bass fishing. Literaly the dopest shit ever. I'm a big head man and an even bigger bass fishing addict, It's another element living in harmony boiiii! Respect kid.

My pb is7.2 and the feeling from that was awesome wonder what a 17lbfeels like
Good stuff brother. Caught my PB this year at a whopping 12.5lb. My next goal is to break that 15lb mark too. 👊
Wow what a catch awsome.
California lake catching lake Okeechobee FL bass..way way back in the 70s and 80s CA and FL did some research on what large mouth bass strain grew the fastest and bigger with all things being equal.

howd you get that camera angle tho?! lol

That was sick dude, I wish I had a buddy as good as you to teach me how to fish.
Definitely liked the intro. I'd watch another angle. Huge catch. I didn't even know they came that big.
Right on man... Congrats
Was the lake named? Watched the entire vid and missed it.
Awesome footage Bro ! Let’s see some more angles.
Amazing truly amazing! I can only imagine the feeling! Congratulations
What a monster! Silly big fish. Good on ya.
I don't understand why people get mad.. Great catch man, congratulations. Hope you catch many more.
Hoping you catch them as well!!! #PositiveVibes
Legit question: are there other angles? I don't understand why the camera is so far and why the setup would be from the shoreline like that.
Well deserved Brother. Love the footage and commentary.
so sweet man! great story and bass!!! i was the 420 comment btw ()
wow 17lbs... thats a chunk!! probably felt surreal!! helluva catch man!!
And then, Ollie wishes a 17 pounder ON HIS HATERS! "Maybe if y'all got to experience this you wouldn't be so salty." Love it.
😎🤗😂🤷♂️
@@BigBassDreams still laugh when I see this 😂
This video is awesome!
Wonder what lake this is
Clear lake?
Absolutely love this video! The commentary was golden. It's amazing what you accomplished in those 7 weeks. I very likely won't even catch 2-300 5 lbers in my lifetime haha! Keep slaying and paving new roads!
Dang!! That is a true Giant!! I really got to get started throwing these oversized swim baits! Very inspirational! 👊🏻👊🏻🎣🎣🔨🔨
🔥🔥 bad ass, congratulations brotha, well done! 🤘🏾🎣
