That intro is truly what we all dream of. I'm working on a great career once I graduate college, and then I'm going to save so much money that one would barely be able to believe. Then comes that dream of owning a bass boat and then comes the grind that I can't wait to endure. I know this means nothing to anyone, but this intro got me emotional thinking about the hopeful prize if I can play my cards right. See you on the big stage. I just want to be the best in the world.
Yep I’m not the biggest fan of the Bass Pro Tour. I’m just old school and like the 5 fish limit and not every fish over a pound and a half counts. They need to go back to the elites
Best introduction so far !!! Tommy Sanders your enthusiasm is still great after all these years...you deserve a great deal of respect...thank you my freind...I can't imagine the bass masters without you.. ps. God bless you my dear friend
Wheeler is going to go down with the likes of KVD, Rick Clunn, and others as being one of the greats, ever. This year alone his finish here at the Classic, nearly winning it, the General Tires World Champion, and won an MLF event and nearly won others, losing narrowly. What a machine.
He is a hammer no doubt! But the Tennessee boy that lives about an hour from me is right there to! Ott very easily could have a couple other classic wins.
All these guys biggest mistakes is leaving BASS for MLF? I just ask why? Why leave the real deal for a generic league like MLF? Which is gona go down in history and never be forgotten a Bassmaster classic win or a redcrest win? I just dont understand it
@@kyleadams1215 follow the money. In bass, they were just competing for each other’s entry fees, money was leaving that’s why it use to pay 500k for the win and went to 300. I read they are paying less for entries and getting more bonus for big fish.
Deefoo in de house!!! Congrats to a hell of a fisherman and what looks like an all around good man and father. When u have faith, anything is possible .🙏🏻😊
@FishinWithFritz not really cause you have to fish em all for win and in. ike would have qualified again for classic with his recent win should just be win and in .
After this last season of live i think B. A.S.S. is better. I dont miss the egos that left. Its the sport of the 5 biggest fish that the average angler like myself can do. Keep it up B.A.S.S.! The current anglers have more class and genuine passion than any group of anglers ive seen.
Ott daid it best yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery ..these river syatems hard to figure out day to day beceise they change daiily cause the current changes daily ..but if u beeb fishing itball your life u can pretty much tell where they go
I was thinking same thing..here In east tn that can really produce in these rivers..fluke will catch all year long in our rivers ..but spring time it can be deadly!! As well as a jersey bait ..ott Defoe knows the deal ..as soon as I seen him throwing thejerk bait I thought he's onto something there ..!!
We love b.a.s.s an the classic it's the dream an bass put us where we are today but we gonna drop them an go do MLF lol makes no sense if this the dream why leave it
I just don't understand how these guys could walk away from the classic. it is the ultimate win they all said it but decided to go fish for a meaningless trophy
It's not at all meaningless. It's the next stage and chapter in Bass fishing. What's the difference in Ray Scott's dream to better the sport and Boyd Ducketts dream to better the sport??????? Absolutely nothing at all. Anybody that has anything negative to say about mlf is not a true fan of the sport in my honest opinion. They made it better for the anglers and the fish. I can't fault them for any of that. Can't see how you can either
No disrespect to wheeler but he cries on camera saying "its taken him soooooo long to get to fish professionally " dudes like 23 yrs old. Really??? Has he ever had a day job? I mean what bout these guys thats 40-50 yrs old and never won a classic or even an elite event....been doing it longer than wheeler been alive...they ain't crying on their 2nd year as a pro....suck it up buttercup n quit poutin...thousands of hard working blue collar guys wud love to be where ur at but someone's gotta make this world turn so u can "fish" for a living...be thankful for where ur at instead of doing wat I do for a living.
Watching this as someone who fishes inshore and offshore, I never got the hype of freshwater fishing. Everyone says this intro is amazing and what not but I honestly just feel like someone is trying to hype up youth league sports. Like where's the challenge of the seas? The tides, currents and waves, being miles from help and land. The skill to navigate dangers and still get a fish thats much more difficult to catch.
It’s about unlocking the puzzle of the lake and competing against the rest of the best. Bass fishing isn’t easy at all. Fishing for 5-8 bites in a day is grueling and the reward for doing it consistently and winning is unmatched. I love offshore fishing, but bass fishing is where my heart is. There are guys that feel the same way about chasing redfish. I don’t get it, but they love it and I can’t fault them one but for it.
Best classic I’ve ever watched!

Man we need these guys back in the elites/Classic. Along with a lot of the guys already in Elites
Yep I’m not the biggest fan of the Bass Pro Tour. I’m just old school and like the 5 fish limit and not every fish over a pound and a half counts. They need to go back to the elites
I could watch that intro a hundred times over

You go the route of chasing your DREAMS !!😁 because in the mid 70 $ I gave it to you all , but I’ve loved to watch you ever Spence Thanks
That intro!!! Chills!!!
hunter oubre right 🙂🙂🙂
This was awesome. Its sad though since it was the last true/ real bassmaster classic. Nice job with the video.
Lord this brought some tear to my eyes. Because I started to dream several years ago. AND this year im competing for the kayak bass tourney.
Awesome!
Wow !! All of the interviews get me emotional this was a special occasion
That intro makes me want to jump through walls and tear the whole house down! 💪🏼🔥
🤣🤣🤣 now that is what you call inspiration
Makes me wanna rip some fuk n lips👍👊

@@kyleadams1215 another thing is bass pro thru a lot of money at mlf. They have been backing ott and a lot others for a long time
Ott well deserved great dude, great father, enjoy that trophy
Omg this gave me goosebumps like I’m so inspired by this intro
I watch this intro before every trip now for extra motivation
Deefoo in de house!!! Congrats to a hell of a fisherman and what looks like an all around good man and father. When u have faith, anything is possible .🙏🏻😊
Please do more elite series full shows🙏🙏
Sitting at my home lake just wondering what it would be like...maybe one day.
The intros to the recent classics will give you chills if your a basshead.
The 90s bassmaster theme still gives me chills lol
Good for ott!!! And his family!!
What a great champion.
So much fun to watch!!!
Plz post the 2020 Bassmaster classic
I've been dreaming since my first bite
, Thanks for Dave Mercer to take time out to talk to the small guy who loves this sport also!
Hopefully bassmaster will put fort-loudoun/Tellico on the schedule as a regular stop in the future. East TN fans will show up I guarantee that!
Why did it take bassmaster so long to post? Please reply
Because you can watch the entire event live online at Bassmaster.com or on ESPN3. They can't post these online until months after, its in the TV Deal.
jacob wheeler and ODVooooooo most enjoyable people to watch fish. ahh DING
who is the announcer
Who's it going to be, well who knows... all the bass masters are now MLF masters

@FishinWithFritz not really cause you have to fish em all for win and in. ike would have qualified again for classic with his recent win should just be win and in .

Looking for 🅺🆅🅳
But i didn't find him
so when was this because in Aug ppl are not wearing coats
March
Come back Ott
Mark daniels I am pulling for you
J-Dub ya got Hoosier Nation behind ya
Shoulda been Jacobs win
Hunter Thrasher it would have if he would've caught more than Ott lmao but he didn't
Shoulda woulda coulda but wasn't.
I agree ott had help
Ott paid his dues,it is well deserved,case closed
Ott daid it best yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery ..these river syatems hard to figure out day to day beceise they change daiily cause the current changes daily ..but if u beeb fishing itball your life u can pretty much tell where they go
Too much interviews
Money on the intro!
I can't believe nobody was throwing a weightless fluke 🤔
lots of guys power fishing, very common to power fish in these situations.
I was thinking same thing..here In east tn that can really produce in these rivers..fluke will catch all year long in our rivers ..but spring time it can be deadly!! As well as a jersey bait ..ott Defoe knows the deal ..as soon as I seen him throwing thejerk bait I thought he's onto something there ..!!
We love b.a.s.s an the classic it's the dream an bass put us where we are today but we gonna drop them an go do MLF lol makes no sense if this the dream why leave it
$MONEY
@@raidersc9066 pay outs the same only diff is the tournament fees
Mlf sucks!
why do they all need to cry
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!
was out with the ENDLESS intro........ C'mon now
I just don't understand how these guys could walk away from the classic. it is the ultimate win they all said it but decided to go fish for a meaningless trophy
@timwins31 well said.
It's not at all meaningless. It's the next stage and chapter in Bass fishing. What's the difference in Ray Scott's dream to better the sport and Boyd Ducketts dream to better the sport???????

Trey Ferguson can you name the championship they are striving every year to win? And what is prestigious about it?
@@mmmkay7729 redcrest
Trey Ferguson did they even have a red crest this year?
No disrespect to wheeler but he cries on camera saying "its taken him soooooo long to get to fish professionally " dudes like 23 yrs old. Really??? Has he ever had a day job?

That intro gave me goosebumps. Pro bass fishing belongs in BASS, not MLF.
IKE
Haha ....it's funny how they thank Jesus all the time after catching a fish.
It's called their alligence to their maker, atheist

But the fact that you can easily drop down a chunk of meat and then wait for 5 seconds and catch a 500 pound fish.
It’s about unlocking the puzzle of the lake and competing against the rest of the best. Bass fishing isn’t easy at all. Fishing for 5-8 bites in a day is grueling and the reward for doing it consistently and winning is unmatched. I love offshore fishing, but bass fishing is where my heart is.
