All I can say is WOW! I put this unbelievable production up on the big screen tv and watched it like a movie. It was truly remarkable! Someone in the comments said you should market this to Netflix. I wholeheartedly agree 110%! Amazing camera/editing work and amazing fishing Justin. Thank you for sharing this journey. Congrats CHAMP and hope you secure the AOY next.
@justinhamnerfishing I consume a bunch of RUclips fishing content and this was amazing. Just like watching a movie. Your camera man did a fantastic job! I live in Massachusetts and have fished Champlain numerous times. Hoping I can make the trip up there to watch some weigh ins and shake your hand in person, but if not, good luck up North and get that AOY! 👊
That’s actually an excellent idea. The average joe doesn’t want to necessarily just watch a sport in action, or even a highlight reel. Never mind when that sport is bass fishing. They want to see the process and the story behind it. They want someone they can relate to and root for. Videos like this are a great way to “market” the sport outside the fishing industry. Trust me, i don’t love the idea of monetizing a dream, but there’s a win-win in there somewhere. And , as we all know, the reality is that it’s the non endemic dollars that could truly grow tournament bass fishing and its longevity for those anglers.
Seriously the best classic video I have ever seen. The way you conduct yourself, how down to earth you are. I was getting emotional watching. Thank the Good Lord you recorded everything. Start your RUclips channel. We will all learn and follow you. Congratulations man! Winning the Classic. Your a beast with a jerk bait
I am a Northport man myself. I too love bass fishing ever since I was 7 or 8. Its a huge part of my life. Congratulations brother! You deserve it, and you earned it! I enjoyed this video tremendously. I would love more youtube vids from you on fishing and whatever else you like, but I do understand if you are not in to that as it would take away from your true love, Bas Fishing. Also, I met your brother not too long ago, and his little dogs. Both of yall seem so humble and friendly. Never change.
Incredible Justin! I just casted a reel again for the first time since i was 7 and now im 25. I didnt know id love it so much. Im so grateful to have a beautiful caring woman by my aide who loves fishing too and pushes me to be better at everything i do. Maybe one day ill see you on a lake somewhere. Congratulations from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 👏
This is what it’s all about! The raw emotion, the hard work, the non stop grind to get where you are standing. Hearing you on Rudd and Serious Angler pre classic calling your shot, to watching you win on bass live, to rewatching this at 2 am, it’s an incredible journey and anyone who has a passion for the sport needs to watch this. Only one other time have I been so moved emotionally by a classic win, and that was Jordan Lee’s first classic win on my home lake of Conroe. Can’t wait to see ya in ‘25
The best video I've ever seen on RUclips. Congratulations to you Justin!! The salt of the earth honesty and hard work attitude....truly shows. Best part of this video. Congratulations again to you, your wife, little girl, and mom and dad. Your hard work, and their dedication to you, shows. Priceless my man.
Man talk about the feels all over. What a fisherman, what a winner and what a human being!! When your wife helped you onto your boat it made my wife very emotional, they worry for us when we are out on that water. Couldn’t be more proud of someone I don’t know personally!
Your story is great!Sounds like it couldn’t have happened to a better person!Kudos to you sir for being a great person and winning the “Bass Masters Classic”!I think it was every kid’s dream who fished to pull off what you have!I follow everything you do now cause of your hard work and faith!
What a beautifully made video. Congratulations to you, Justin! You are most deserving of this and I'm proud of you and proud you represent the great state of Alabama. ROLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIIIDE BABY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow Justin congratulations, you are not only the champion but you are also a amazing person in general so tell you what why don’t you just go and do it again make it a 2x in a row champion BEST Of LUCK to you😊👍😍😄
Well.... I'll say I'm a fan now. I've mowed my entire life as well (many more years !) so I know the struggle ! I wish I had the drive and dedication you have ! Way to show everybody how to do it.... RIGHT. Amen to you and your family !
@@justinhamnerfishing we’ve preached it to him from day 1 and it was a proud dad moment when he identified it in someone else. 22.1 is still in striking distance #NeverGiveUp 🤘🤘
Most raw video I have ever seen. Justin this video will make kids want to be in your shoes. Keep up the good work buddy! See you in 2025 at the classic!
Congratulations Young Man! I’ve watched men cross this stage all my life. And you standing up for God at an early age in life was precious! Love ya Brother now let’s go Whack’em
Finally watched this and it is so good! Had the pleasure of meeting you at Smith Lake and ur awesome! So nice and humble! Pullin for ya to grab AOY! Great year so far man!
So happy to see you win the Classic ! Well deserved victory for sure ! The video is a well done , cinematic quality video ! Probably one of the best tournament videos I’ve seen on RUclips ! Keep up the great work on the Elite Series and with the behind the scenes videos . I see a Blue trophy coming real soon in your future , possibly on Smith Lake ? In contention for AOY as well . Might as well get a trifecta , with Classic , Elite Series and Angler of the Year trophies !
You gained a follower! I teared up when you did, it’s everything I dream of, for my family, for my dad that passed away that wanted me to follow my dreams, moreover my dream of being on that stage… 🔥🎣🙏🏼🤘🏼
I’m not a FFS fan. I have it on my BassCat in order to compete in the tournaments I fish. It’s a tool every tournament angler needs or get beat up. I’m pretty dam good with that tool also.. Just wanted to say congratulations on WIN !! It is hard to win a one day tournament on all levels but to stay committed to a pattern on multiple day tournaments is seriously hard especially when the brain is telling you it’s time to change up every second!! Congratulations young man your in the books forever now !!!!!!
Man this content is Netflix level stuff and how it came together on a whim ... Chase should promote this to that audience because it transcends bass fishing because of a Rudy-iscue narrative but is real life!! Congrats on the Classic and wish you the best on AOY!!! Cheers to doing it the right way!! P.S. C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS!!! 😉
i am 16 I live in Tulsa and grand lake is like my home lake, you have completely inspired me by winning the classic, I even drink Milo’s now cause of you 😂 best elite series pro 💯
Hey Justin I work at the Captain’s Club marina on lake Tuscaloosa so if your ever fishing that point I would recommend going in to the marina cuz there are some big bass I’ve seen in there
Still awesome to think how you went from catching the little Lake Tuscaloosa ketchup draggers to winning the Bassmaster Classic! If you can catch them on Lake T you can catch them anywhere! Looking forward to more man!
Watching all the way from South Africa......what a great vid and what a awesome mindset. You have fans around the world now. Looking forward to more vids.
Your a good dude Hamner. Well deserved. Pleasure hanging with you in Gadsden at Bass U. Need to come fishing with me on Guntersville sometime. Give that jerkbait a work out.
@justinhamnerfishing hell yeah! It's a wonderful cinematic experience that reflects a mindset of gratitude, faith, perseverance, and excellence that is inspiring to those fishing in any setting or even just trying to be good at anything 🇺🇸🦅⚡️
Congratulations brother! I mow lawns for a living and I think about you everyday at work...
This guy used to mow my lawn! It's awesome to see him living his dreams now.
Coolest comment. Humbled, thank you!
Bad ass!!! Dreams do come true!!!

Crappie brakes, they are gone now, got rid of them halfway through the year.
