Brandon Palaniuk 'LIV 2 FSH' on MERCER-163 

Thanks for watching, Please check out Brandon’s RU-vid channel and tell him I sent ya - youtube.com/@bmpfishing?si=buj0qKmavnRJy4FI

BP is the realest representation of professional fishing in my opinion. Always great to see him on the show.

a real angler, real pro and a gentleman... i had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him... super nice young man....

Brandon and Rick Clunn, two similar and brilliant and thoughtful minds. Good luck the last 4 tourneys this year. The best for you

Another awesome pod mercer. Brandon was always a favorite of mine. Just the way he came in and done sooooo well immediately was great to watch. Good pod once again

Thanks for having my favorite true professional on this week!

I'm at the long podcast part, they are the best because all the ramblings and topics that get touched on in the moment, result in the best and most real conversations

Been a fan of that dude since he stood on classic stage in his first one you could tell he’s was gonna be awesome

Integrity, talent, passionate, hard working…the list goes on. Saw him go from angler to dad after the weigh in on day 2 at Murray, so great husband and father can be added. Thanks for a great show guys. And Dave thank you for not caving into adding click bait titles.

Awesome episode, two of my favorites! And thanks for the shout man. I’m just glad the picture and bracket got to ya. Huge shoutout to RJ, Rob, their whole family are awesome folks! 🙏🏼

Two stand-up dudes right there. Thank you both for the positivity and inspiration. Dave, you never fail to hit my heart. Your opening was beyond words. This world needs more Mercers.

My son worked on a right-of-way crew cutting timber for a year there were two fatalities while he was there. That is definitely dangerous work

Brandon definitely needs more subscribers! He’s got the best quality content for sure.

RJ is my Godson! Rob (RJ's dad) and I were listening to the pod on the water this morning and both did a double take when we heard his name! We immediately came here to watch! Everything you said about him is spot on, that kid is amazing and it made our morning hearing you talk about him💚

Only toxic because every individual fisherman is stirring the pot for clicks. It’s a shame. I can tell you that as a 55 year old fan, and someone that bass fishes almost daily, I am fed up with all the BS. Yourself and Brandon are unicorns with all this positivity. Thanks Dave. We need more smiles !! Thanks for mental health mentions. You’re a good dude Dave.

I'm just barely starting to show and what an entry Dave. Honestly II struggled before with depression, anxiety and fishing did save my life up to certain point. Enjoying life time on the water is all that matters to me but also enjoying life, as it is also. The good. The bad. The ugly it all forges what you are. But thanks for another awesome show. Can't wait to see you in the rest of it.

Palaniuk's mental game is unbelievable, something for people to pay attention to!

The intro was absolutely the best intro you have ever done Mr. Mercer! Everyone needs more positivity! Keep it up bud!!

👍 bmp one of a kind, you could have a conversation with him every week and it would always be fresh!

Been a subscriber of BPs from jump. Love all of his content and the message he puts out

Dave stop listening to podcast is exactly what I have done. I'm now down to yours and 2 others, and if they turn into the Jerry Springer show, I will stop watching them. Thanks for keeping your podcast positive.

Lovin’ the positivity angle Dave, keep it coming! We will all join in, right y’all!?!

Brandon, I just subscribed to your RU-vid channel. Thank you for all you guys do love across-the-board from Georgia.

Your intro. All words to truly live by.

Dave for POTUS !!! Loved it dave you make life better and roll tide roll !!🐘

Seriously, y'all need to get ahold of the guys at Dive Talk on RU-vid. We gotta get someone to dive on this thing. It would make a great video. Maybe get Graham Hancock involved. You'll be on Rogan before you know it. It could be the biggest thing to happen to bass fishing.

Serious question, is Palaniuk the next Clunn? His mentality and the way he thinks of questions with his intuitive answers....The man is on another level. Appreciate the content you always provided to is Dave ✌️.

@Brandon Palaniuk is an absolute class act professional angler!! Dave your a class act podcast host! Keep up the great work!🎣

Great intro and show today! Dave you are 100% correct! I teach school which is a high stress job in this day and age. My way to destress is fishing. I went to Lake Fork to my first ever Elite Series event and it was so much fun! You were kind enough to do an interview for my students. It was great for my first ever BASS event. The anglers were really cool too! So that whole thing gave this old teacher a nice weekend to destress and relax! A huge thank you! For sure we need to spread kindness and check on each other! 🏆🎣

Great show, y’all got out there. lol I think y’all need to dive & video the underwater unidentified object! Always like the way Brandon takes care of his business.

Take the time to make a call check in on your friends and brothers! Ain’t nothing worth ending it!

😮 Can never go wrong with Brandon as your guest ! Great man < Dave the 70's were the best and most of the 80's

Finally a voice of reason!

Brandon is my spirit animal.

Great show

Dave, I can't agree more with your opening comments. Thanks for sharing such a crucial paradigm in this worlds time of need. Your comment regarding " sliding off the bunks" made me chuckle...I think the exact same thought 🤔!

Dave, had to watch the first half last night and just finished the rest. BP is one of my favorite anglers. Can’t wait to see y’all next week at Wheeler. Going to be epic. Great show buddy. Love these long ones by the way.

Great podcast as always!

One of my all time favorites

This really hits home!

Best podcast out there!! Thank you!!🎣🎣

Amen Dave!!

Brandon is an awesome guy and friend!!

What a great positive podcast from Brandon and yourself.Tight lines

Dave spreading awareness Is amazing !

It really is wild that BP doesn’t have more subscribers. His and vandy’s quality is fantastic.

An awesome podcast! Brandon is a true leader within the Elites. More fellow fishermen need to follow his lead. Concerning BP’s underwater UFO you both know the perfect person to thoroughly check it out- Jake! And I’ll bet when you ask him to go on this UFO mission his response will be… “oh yes I’ve been IN an UFO! Back in 2018 while hunting in Tennessee one landed near me and…. “. That’ll be a great Jake’s Take!

Good show Dave . You gotta dive on that UFO .Maybe do a contest if anyone guesses right gets a Berkley prize pack.😀😀Brandon one of my favorites .👍👍👍👍👍

Dave, I watch your podcasts every week and thoroughly enjoy them. Thank you for your words about the tragic loss of pro golfer Grayson Murray. Fishing IS a great coping device to help battle depression. I've battled depression and experienced the dark side of it too as my dad took his own life as did my best fishing buddy. We all need to hear positive things, encouragement to keep going to the next day. Dave, thanks for your positivity! I took my experiences and wrote a fiction book, "Miracle Boat", with the purpose of helping people to hang on to the next day, seek their life's purpose and live life to the fullest. Don't take yourself out too soon as it leaves a hole that cannot be filled easily. Hey, I live in North Alabama and hope to see you in Decatur. Maybe I'll get a chance to see you at Ingalls Harbor and give you a copy of "Miracle Boat." In the meantime, keep on being the best Dave Mercer that you can be - a great cheerleader for those that fish and love the sport!

My granddaddy always used to say, always leave someone just a little bit better than how you found them!

we need Brandon to follow up with the aqua vu footage/pics of this unidentified sunken object (USO). I have so many questions now and want to see it. I might have missed him say what lake this is in, guessing either the saint lawrence or champlain. Maybe it's the vessel that Champy came here in after dropping Nessie off at Loch ness!

We need more BPs in the world 🤙

Here's my first of episode comment. I'll probably throw another one after I listen. Just don't want to forget. One of my wife's best friends committed suicide last week. It's such a devastating thing. You ate right, we need more kindness. It doesn't fix every problem, but it sure helps make the world more pleasant. Yes, Takle Talk is a great podcast. Andrew seems like a genuine dude.

Wow you do read comments lol this was long it's 1:35am here, started after church when I got home was 9:30 pm, now I do pause when I need to get up for reasons an old man has too every 10 to 30 mins lol but anyway always Injoy Brandon talks, it was deep and funny at times but you let it go many different topics, and thats why I always like your shows Dave, thnxs not only letting it run as long at it was, better long then short podcast n thnxs for letting me know it was still lil over hour show last week could have said hey dude it was over a hr. Shut up bout being too short. But hey it was positive reply on your response not negative reply that you for that and you brought that up on this podcast so Thanxs for that, gotta say before church I got on to see if this weeks show was on yet my time but hadn't yet the Cory n Chris when Chris was hacking a lung up was on. Seen it that week when posted watched of course but watched most of it while hair was drying and I laughed again so much was so fun the two of them and you running with it, remember you on your new mini podcast you do with all the the guys and Cory got back on his hockey team for 3rd. Time now, lol laughed when I saw that too, it's why I watch you no matter what podcast it is I luv all your posts and yes I do watch Brandon's podcast on n off the water that's he's good for doing fun n clean podcasts ty Dave n your Wife for making it all work on same hump day.

Also Dave, of all the awesome bobble heads of the greats, you’re missing one. Dale Earnhardt Sr. If I can find one, I’ll ship it to ya.

👍

I bet you were a great bartender, Dave. 👍

Could you imagine Aaron Martins using FFS?

It’s a little harder to do the right thing . when your a guy that doesn’t even have the cash to get back home after the tournament.

The FFS issue isn’t as easy as if you don’t like it . Don’t use it. I’ve tournament fished for almost 30 years. Because of ffs. The sport barely resembles the sport I use to love. I could work harder to learn it. But I’m not sure I want to . Again that’s not what I loved about tournament fishing. Lastly I don’t enjoy watching pro fishing as much as I use to .

I'm proof that fishing is a great crutch for some people me myself personally I was on meds for years for anxiety, adhd,depression the whole 9 and for me fishing works it' helps me better than any meds I've been on it gives me a line to relax chill not think about anything but those little brown and green little buggers lol so thank u bass fishing tournaments and bass fishing family for everything u do for me and if yall no someone dealing in depression or any other issues takes them out to tge outdoors fishing hunting etc... u never know it may do them wonders

It's so funny people are pissed at being pissed

👍
