- Back to share my expenses from the 3rd and 4th Elite series events of the season. I also let you all in my sponsor help this year as well as share my YTD Earnings and YTD Expenses!
This is great content young upcoming anglers that want to be a professional needs to hear the financial breakdown of what it really cost per tournament. 👍
I for one appreciate your unprecedented transparency & candor. Nobody has ever done this. As a long time fan of pro bass fishing, I can tell you have a special talent, superior skills on the water. I know you are finding your way around all the off water crap. There's probably people you trust telling you this is not the best idea, and they might be right. You will settle in & don't forget to just be yourself. Don't respond to trolls. Keep a tight circle & keep crackin em! 🔨
Dittoz Thanks
Tournament fishing ebbs and flows for sure. As long as your making checks and having a good year things are decent. BUT all it takes is a few bad tournaments to be in the hole. You're a brave man in my eyes, buddy. I see this sport as high-end gambling nowadays. Keep this momentum going the rest of the season!!!
Thanks for being so transparent. Your only half way through your journey this year. Your doing great in my opinion. Great job!
Great video! Congrats on the year so far
Very glad to see that things are turning around for you since the end of last season. Congrats, and fantastic work, good sir!
Great start to the season Jacob. Keep it rolling. Murray is going to be a fun one.
Dude, you’re killing it on the finishes. Keep going
Great job. Keep it going. Cheering on all the NBT MARINE Anglers.
Nice job and thanks for the transparency!
AWESOME MAN, you’re on a roll keep it up and keep grinding
Great start, keep it going
Man , I’m glad things are starting to turn around for you , I really think you are going to Win very soon again , Great News Jacob , we will be rooting for you too
Keep the momentum, stay confident in yourself, and your fishing!
Keep the momentum going mate! 💪🏻🎣
Great job- keep it up!
Keep your chin up and see nothing but positive . It will work out! Good job on making the cuts
I am so happy for you!!!!!
You are having a great season.
Congrats on your season rebirth !!!!! $80K already towards your expenses and more. And u did it all your way. Sweet !!!
You are fishing and finishing well so far, keep those money cuts coming. I look at how some of these guys your fishing with even get a sponsor, because they maybe lucky enough to get in the money cut once a year. What you have done so far this year, it would take some of these guys 5 or 6 years to accomplish. Keep that run going, don't slack off, and try to get that AOY title.
Great job !
Keep up the good work. Your efforts will pay dividends.
Thanks for being so open with your expenses! If you don’t mind sharing, but what do you do for health , life , accident type of insurance?
This is great content with no hate and just facts!
You have been fishing well, keep it up.
Keep putting fish in the tank and making those cuts! 🏆 🏆 🏆 #AOY #CLASSIC #BLUE TROPHY
Nice to see this
4th in aoy, heck of a year. Time to start posting again,
regarding tackle expenses i assume that you get multi uses from each piece of tackle? how much tackle can you get courtesy of sponsors?
Super interesting! Tight lines!
Can you do a video on your culling system for smallmouth? i remember seeing that you put weight on the cull balls to keep the fish down. I find that the cull balls stress the smallmouth, but then it's hard to cull. what's the best solution?
I know you didn't think it was fair to include your boat and truck payments last time, but now you have made 5 payments, and I would have put that $5500 on there. Also, you did good on Chris' podcast. I live just off Ray Roberts, so I hope to see you at the Classic in a year.
Keep on making cuts ! This has lit a fire on your ass keep it going! Would love to see you win one!
Seems to me a good job would be better and fish larger regional to you tournaments. Probably make more money because you definitely can catch fish with the best. Chasing a dream can turn into a nightmare
Don’t forget Uncle Sam will want his cut at the end of the year.
I wrote an article on this subject many years ago. Prices have changed. Winnings were a lot less.
Article title:- “So You Want To Turn Pro?” Enjoy….
Good stuff! Since you were home you might as well come out and fish Monday night and put it to tank!
Income taxes?
sad
to see when u are in the top 10 in AOY and only made
50+
sad really sad
that's why to be a pro bass guy number one thing is FIRST START A BUSINESS OR EARN MAIL BOX MONEY
THANKS TO MY UNCLE WHO TOLD YEARS AGO
FISH FOR FUN AND NOT DEPEND ON IT FOR BILLS...
CRAZY RIGHT
BUT I BUILT A SYSTEM FOR A COMPANY IN 2009 AND I HAVENT TALK SEEN THAT COMPANY ARE OWNERS IN 15 YRARS BUT EVERY MONTH I GET A CHECK IN THE MAIL...
It’s the same old thing everyone makes videos on this topic we all know it sucks I’m tired of theses type of videos
Boo hoo :(
Well stop watching fool!
Then why do it ??? Seems like most of the fishing videos are bitching about this and that . Just stop fishing tournaments and get a job and fun fish. Just like in real life and you can’t afford it u shouldn’t be doing it . All the videos seems like are like this poor me this and that . U have a 100 thousand dollar 50 thousand dollar truck u fish all day or chase turkeys all week ya hard life bud plenty of people out here busting are ass every day to make the country go around that don’t have either. So stop crying and be thankful for what you’re doing pretty much off someone else’s dime ..
@timtucker8989 he's not complaining at all. He is putting out real numbers for young anglers considering getting into professional angling. What is wrong with that?
@@garyphillips2650 Iam sorry I don’t belive it’s about young anglers all you here it’s about them bull. It’s about views these guys don’t want these young kids coming in there and taking their jobs . Sorry don’t buy that just my opinion. Would you want to give someone all the tools to take your job away no I wouldn’t. If it wasn’t for live they would show you half of what your seeing now . Did they show that stuff before no they didn’t not . I happen to live not to far from two of the top bass guys going fish against them just local tournaments belive me they aren’t showing or telling anyone anything lol … like I said just my opinion…
You seem fun. Please tell me how I’m complaining?
@@timtucker8989 you must not know much about the elite series, because he was one of the youngest in the series until this years group of rookies. So he's not an old guy trying to protect his job. Try getting to know someone before trash talking. Bless your heart, you live by 2 "pro" anglers big deal. I have atleast 5 Elite anglers in a 20 miles radious from my house and can't even tell you how many Toyota Series guys are in the area. I can tell you that they all will shoot straight with you if you ask questions! Your 2 "Pro's " must be real dandies!
@@garyphillips2650agreed!
