Who ?

@@factsoffishing yeah, no shiat!!😂😂😂😂😂

@@xlrationmarine we just over hear try to make a good show.

Thanks Droptine, Wheeler is an incredible angler. Thankfully this was a few months ago. My back is much better

Miracles do happen 😂

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the well wishes and support.

Thanks Mark, he is definitely just getting started. I hope we see him back at BASS some time in the future

Thanks David, I really appreciate the kind words and the cabinet has been visited often 😂

@@factsoffishing ohhhh "cabinet" works very well too! 🍻🍻

@@davidcahan2978 too well sometimes 😂

Hey Dean, No thanks needed. I’m thankful Jacob came on the show. He was a great guest and I can’t wait to have him back on when I am not squirming in pain lol. Thanks for the well wishes

He would dominate the elite series. Have you forgotten he won his first 2 elite series events before he made the move to fish MLF. I swear some of you guys have no idea what your talking about. Love you Mercer but some of your fans are ignorant

Thats your opinion. And that’s why I capitalized AS. I don’t know what I’m taking about because I have a differing opinion? Why do you have to be condescending? If you want to see ignorance look in the mirror.

@@deanlyons703 because your opinion is so off base. Name one person on the elite series that would give Jacob wheeler a problem. Zero. Almost every top 50 fisherman fishes in MLF. Explain that one Touro

Well he won 2 elite trophies and came out 2nd in a bass classic already. so I think he could compete. Just facts.

I ask him just that question near the end of the interview. Only time will tell 🤞

Thanks, as long as we have our hardcore audience I am good with that. But I agree more people should be all over this

Thanks for watching Steve, I hear this podcast is breaking down walls and even helping my old buddy finally book Wheeler 😂. Let’s all get along

@@factsoffishing I like yours and Luke's podcasts and wish you both well. As for mlf, nope. A couple of the powers that be over there have zero integrity or honor. B.A.S.S. is the real Major League of Bass Fishing.

@@TN-Vols-Fan I appreciate your support and every single viewer.

Thanks Ross, it’s a problem I have dealt with my whole life. I hope it gets better soon. I gotta go fishing

Thanks so much Tyler. I appreciate the tip, unfortunately I have tried that and got little success but I am getting other treatments that are starting to slowly work 🤞. I am thankful to have such caring and supportive people watch the channel. 👊🏻

I would love too. Just gotta convince Pat

Thanks Musky Bites, I appreciate the kind thoughts. I will whoop this. Pain is just a reminder that you are still alive.

😂

I hope he does but either way he has the right to do what he thinks is best for him and his family.

@@factsoffishing yeah but damn it would be nice to see him fishing against the Elite fishermen

@@Mjones8383 I hear ya

Maybe you both just blink at the same time! Ha

Focus 👀

@@aaronrobinson6161 ok this just blew my mind lol

I’ll expect my check in the mail Dave! Ha

I don’t think that’s happening soon but I do in my heart believe he will be back at some point. There is only 1 Bassmaster Classic

@@factsoffishing With the way the Bass fishing world has changed, I would like to see BASS evolve as well and make the Classic a true SuperBowl of bass fishing and include all the different trails top 15 anglers, rather than anglers fishing the Opens. The Opens are a path to the one of the top tiers in professional bass fishing. There is room for all of these pro tours. I believe we've seen that this year. They have all done really well and been very entertaining. The sport needs a true world championship and i believe that should be the Classic. I believe all the organizations should be able to come together and make this happen. Come one Dave...make this happen!!

@@michaelfrisko9614 thanks for watching & thanks for your comments. Your idea has been done already. The TTBC used to be the top 15 from Bass, FLW & the PAA at the time. They did that for over a decade. It sounds like a great idea but it’s highly unlikely now. In today’s current pro fishing world, to ask bass to host anglers from other circuits at the Bassmaster Classic is like cheating on you wife, leaving her to marrying someone else but still expecting to get invited to Christmas. I don’t see it happening but you never know. Thanks again for watching

@@factsoffishing I don't know that I agree with that. The TTBC was never looked at as World Championship, it was more of a all-star event. Out of all the pro tours, BASS SHOULD be the organization to host such and event...it's been around the longest and is the face of the sport and it's history. But times have changed. MLF does have the biggest names, both young and old. Notice I didn't say the best anglers. And that group that left BASS to form MLF didn't do it because they disliked BASS or what it represents, they did it because they had to take care of themselves, not the organization they competed in. It's hard to say which tour has the best because they all have great anglers. But having the variety the sport has today and the live coverage it has today, BASS sort of owes the sport and fans to make the Classic the biggest and best championship out there and that should include the top anglers from all the top tours, for that particular season. All the tours would benefit from it (BASS, BPT, Pro Circuit, NPFL). With all the tours cutting the bottom group of anglers to keep things fair and fresh, all the tours are going to start looking the same. Which in my opinion is ok as long as they can sustain their season and individuality. This would be a smart move on BASS's part...they would show that they don't hold a grudge, that they are more concerned for what's best for the sport and its' fans rather than which organization is best, and it would show that they can grow with and\for the sport. Not to mention that it would be a fantastic event! Probably the biggest Classic EVER (from a money making standpoint)! Look at The Masters. Thats the type of event The Classic could and should be! If BASS doesn't do it, someone else probably will try and who knows...maybe the Classic becomes the next Forrest Wood Cup (RIP). Sorry for ranting about this. I feel strongly about it and our sport. I think the sport still has some evolving to do in order for it to be where it wants to be. But, in my opinion, since the split, it is moving in the right direction. If you are a fan of competitive bass fishing, has it EVER been as good as it is right now??

@@michaelfrisko9614 to make the super bowl you gotta play in the NFL.

Priceless

They were red shorts but I will let you fantasize about what ever you want 😂😂😂. Thanks for the well wishes

Well hopefully you enjoy the podcast

Well thanks for watching. But if you did not click on it you would never know about the “dumb dumb opening” 😂.

@@factsoffishing LMAO!

@@DROPTINE I think I made a very valid point😂

@@factsoffishing I Agree!

Hey Kevin, I appreciate your support and I also appreciate your right to not watch. Hope you like the next show better 👊🏻

@@factsoffishing Hope your back feels better soon, Looking forward to next weeks show.

@@kevingonyea The people that listen this this show are the coolest & you just proved it again. Have a great week

No I’m sorry to tell you it’s not that easy. Why do pros still have bad days then if they got all the good stuff? Wheeler was a beast before all of this madness in electronics and he’s still a beast with them

They ALL come back with full live wells, the only question is who’s $25000 360 thermal radiation homing device pulled in the biggest fish. The sport is dead, now wipe your mouth, I’m pretty sure Wheeler has finished.

WeStIsThEbEsT 78 don’t take your bad day fishing out on me and Wheeler. Get yourself some electronics and find those fish

I appreciate your feedback and you watching. I think the best thing about fishing is you can do it at whatever level you choose. From as simple as a cane pole to a fully rigged out bass boat with all the electronics. But trust me coming from a guy lucky enough to own one of those tricked out boats. It takes more than the boat to catch em 😂. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

@@factsoffishing Got a reply from the man himself, great stuff. Big fan of your show going back years, very entertaining . Also love how he respects the fish and always handles /releases them properly . I'm sticking to my guns about the issue but leaving it alone to show Dave some well earned respect. All the best.
