Mike Long Exposed Cheater!! Catfish Poacher??? (Follow Up!) 

Anybody defending Mike Long, is probably Mike Long.

I own his ranger, it has A strange hole in one of the compartments. Maybe used to circulate water? What POS

im 33 n im proud of catching 5 pounders the legit way (which is my PB) and i know so many others caught bigger but im still proud of my 5 pounder 😎

Threatened someone’s kids? Why isn’t he taking a dirt nap

That was the best 9 pages of fishing content I’ve ever read.

Read. The. Article people. It goes way beyond the snagging vid.

If he would threaten my kid let’s just say,,, it would of been bad for him

They should name an Asian carp tournament after him.. btw snagging Asian carp is legal...

Any time money is involved, people will cheat. Where I live, a guy was caught cheating in local ice fishing tournaments where first place was only $500. He was caught using live minnows in tournaments where live bait wasn't allowed. He won 2 or 3 of them before he got caught.

Loosening lug nuts on peoples tire. LMAO

I read it twice. I even showed my wife who goes “how can you cheat at fishing?” . It was shocking and disturbing to say the least as a fisherman it pains me to see someone grab fame off of harming the fish and the fishing community . It’s just bonkers bro I appreciate your info and vids as well . Subbed .

Mike long now snagging marlin

We don’t SNAG EM ! We HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH !

The article was very good and very informative. Take the time to read it.

Dudes a fcn nutjob......should be jailed for stealing all that money over the years. Have a feeling he may see some street justice in the near future

I have never gone fishing, and don't care for fishing. But ever since I watched Jacob Runyan and chase cheating vid, and now watching this, I can't stop watching these stories. Also, you tell the story well

I saw Mike Long snagging Bass at 99 Ranch market.

There wasn’t really anything we could do when he threatened me and tried to spy at our house. Even if we did a police report they wouldn’t have done anything. He was crazy and knew he was going down. So everyone just cut ties. He was a psycho. Even with the amazing article there was way more stuff. Like my dad finding the 20 pounder and showing him where she was. The next day my dad was gonna go fish for her and he called making up an excuse saying he needs a favore then two hours later has the fish🤷‍♂️

I read that whole article and was shocked. I'm not really into following big Bass anglers, but it was disturbingly fascinating. Watching him pose in lots of different "action shots" with the same fish and posting them as multiple fish on social media was particularly fascinating. A psychologist would have a field day figuring this guy out. (I get cheating for money, but fame stuff and claiming records is just weird)

Freaking crazy brother started cheating with my catfish and than moved to your Largemouths . This dude should be jailed what he has done is illegal.

Not only did he threaten Kerrs son, he asked him what room his son slept in, then proceeded to come over at night and flash a light in his window trying to intimidate this man's son at their own house in Ramona. That's how you get shot!

That article was an awesome read. Pretty accurate summary of the article. A lot the stuff is circumstantial but there is a pattern of behavior. That snow bass video was hilarious lol.

It would be a shame to have to pay back all the tournament money at once♿😂

By far the best explanation of what the article was about and not just clickbait like others I've watched !! Thank you!

A few stand outs ( of many ) events: 1. Mike Long calling out other anglers cheating ( who were legitimately cheating also ). The hypocracy almost gave me an aneurysm. 2 Mike Long taking pics with another angler's fish and submitting it as proof of a larger lake record not once, but TWICE!!

I feel cheated after all these years of me looking up to this guy... I met him when I was 12yrs old and since then I would buy all the magazines he was in and I would get my Xmas money to buy swimbaits and try to catch giants here in San Diego .... It’s almost like looking up to your fav fitness person and then buy all his products/ proteins and later find out he doesn’t even uses the products and he’s actually just on steroids SMH He’s gone MIA .. I hope he comes out and actually faces the public like a man ... I hope no harm for this guy despite all this but I’ve heard of limelight Junkies who lose it all and end up committing suicide because they can’t handle losing it all... hope he mans up and apologizes to everyone, especially the kids now who actually followed what he would preach like I did when I was younger

I fished a lot of tournaments in San Diego at the same time Mike Long was there. And I can remember we used to wonder how does he always manage to fish by himself?

Kinda really don't know what to say.......I fish with Mickey that is the owner of the 3.16 swimbait company here on lake fork and he said from the first time Mike Long weighed a fish people knew he was a list. You don't just go out and catch fish in the weight class this chump was claiming in a daily........I've been a fisherman my entire life and I will say with confidence that the 3 fish I've caught that are over 10lbs were completely luck........Guys like Mike Long give real fisherman a bad look

Really like your take and follow up to your other vid. Mike long...what a joke.

Dude needs to go to jail for theft. There are laws against cheating in tournaments. Only loosers need to cheat, the rest of us compete for fun and to show our talents.

There are cheaters everywhere from the local level to pro level tournaments and on everything on earth and not just in fishing. Most will never be exposed. Ben Milliken will be exposed one day 😂mark my words

That article was an awesome read. Strange how so many people were so afraid of this guy they wouldn't come forward. That one part in the article where his tournament partner talked about him pretending to fight an obviously dead fish was funny but sad. Why can't people just be happy with what they have. Thanks for passing this info on.

Tie him up and each fisherman gets 3 licks with any rod you want. I’ll use a cane pole 😆

Please go read the 9 pages.....unbelievable piece of great investigative journalism ON OUR SPORT! Mike Long you should really be locked up.....shameful.

It's a great article would highly recommend reading it

This shit is unbelievable so I have an idea I looking for work I think the tournament fishing should have a watcher on every freaking boat I know it should've be this way but do this for a living and this shit has to stop what you guys think

Guys a joke !!! He needs to be exposed !!! How can anyone defend him !!! It’s really sad!!! My son looked up to him !! So sad!!! Throw his ass in jail!!

All this cheating bullshit can be solved pretty easy, cut out the prize money and you so called pros fish like normal people for fun on your own dime. All these fishing outfits are as greedy as the cheaters, they have created the cheaters as a matter of fact, so cry me a river, greed and jealousy run rampant these days. Just cut out the money and it all goes away........

He must be a sad man with s lot of issues. He will never know the true gratification of putting the work in to accomplish somthing

Every time I hear Mike long I think of that prank call “Mike Ox Long” from the Simpsons

YEP DIAMOND VALLEY LAKE IN HEMET CALIFORNIA TOOK HIS PICTURE OFF THE WALL HE HAD A 16 LB LARGEMOUTH FOR THE LAKE RECORD WORD GOT AROUND BACK IN EARLY 2000 HE CHEATED WITH THAT FISH

He used to work at this Company in San Diego cheated his way to be the superintendent the time he was my boss i learned what kind of person he was anybody defending him doesn’t have any idea how he really is…

I feel sorry for his family, they are going to have to deal with this mess he has created.

What is this reading you speak of? A new fishing technique?

Watch that video...they zoom him he is legit using a weighted treble hook with like a white curly tail on it smfh

This is crazy I wonder how much this happens ?

Unbelievable!!! BTW I subscribed to keep up with your Channel!!

I'm here because of the walleye cheaters

The video's show what he is, any one who has seen these video's of his snagging bass he can't run away from those tapes;;;;;;;;

Wow make sure you guys read the article in his description. It’s amazing how this guy got away with that for so long. Nice video bro

I want a record but not like that bro. It's called pride mike

It’s amazing what people will do for some screen time and the almighty $$

Snagging a fish is catching a fish 100% of the time

Yeah i dunno who he is or anything about any of all of this.. but in that last video you can tell he is OBVIOUSLY trying to hide what he is doing.. he was looking over his shoulder way too much...

I was raised to really enjoy fishing. My grandfather Harvat showed me fishing on Armstrong's Spring Creek on the Yellowstone River in 1957, the 1st time. From that day to this day fishing, like hunting, has been a guide to nature for me. Both have always been a bit deceitfull by nature, among men competing. That fun is a sacred trust to be shared. Friendship and respect are gained through trust. That trust is based on truth. The data I've so far seen leads me to the conclusion that this respect, so sorely desired, was obtained by lying to all of us. If true, this dooms this man to a lifetime of distrust by all of us that try to excell, fall short, and look to others for informed guidance. I'd be harsh in my treatment of this kind of deciet. By the way, I still can't throw a bait caster rod either. Not that I haven't tried.

you are right about legal action fursures, but id like to see him sumtime, and snag his his right check w my quad hook

But just let him be bro... don't be a Karen

there is no W in tournament but there is in wtf.

It Is WRONG WRONG WRONG To Snag Any Fish But To Me What Is Really BAD This Mike Long Guy Dose Not Care About The Bass If He Snagged The Fish in A Vital Place Like The Throat Of Gill Rakes The Fish Is Done These Bass Are 10 12 15 Yers Old They Deserve There Lives and Respect i Am Sure Some Of The Fish He Has Snagged Have Died Hopefully He Is Dun i am From California and We Have Some Strict Fish and Game Laws are Fish and Game Officers Don't Play i am Thankful For Them i Live Buy The Ca Delta They Catch Ass Holes Here Snagging Bass Salmon and Sturgeon

A fisherman a liar !!? Say it ain't so !

Where theres smoke......fishing is such a great pastime but it only take one dick to ruin things for us all.

call out cheaters. and stomp em out

Read the whole thing twice how sad what a scammer ......hurt bass fishing for awhile

If you've ever read "in pursuit of giant bass". By bill Murphy you get an insight on what it takes to be a true California giant bass hunter. Give it a read, it's a lesson on dedication and passion as much as a big bass book. This guy disgraces what it means to be an outdoorsman and fisherman.

This guy was bad news.wow...

His middle name is Ox?

1:00 I thought there was a bird in my room 😂😂

Sad stuff

Sounds kinda fishy! 🙁

He’s a fraud and a coward...

what a psycho, biggest scandal in fishing for sure! that article was an amazing read and very shocking. great video

Karma!!!

Lmao

Didn't he move out of San Diego after this?

I hope he is guilty.. Cause that is the worst thing to get accused of... But every social media fisherman seems to agree. I havent seen or checked out the proof yet, but let me tel you that is the worst thing to e accused of, from the hype i hope it is true.. Came here after watching Mikey Ballz 👍 .edit... That was mike long in the may 2017 cheater video. If so he needs to be bitch slap if he gets close to our boat ramps

I read it a few days ago, really crazy stuff

You are now my favorite Kindle app for fishing cheaters. My eyes aren't the greatest and with my small screen Android phone I have to explode the print big enough to see it and then slide it back and forth to read it so thank you for the information deciphering that 9 page article so that I can understand fully what this guy did. You know it's disgusting that when you really do catch a nice fish in a tournament that might beat the next guy by a couple of pounds that you get looked at sideways because of guys like this.

Said that people are still hung up on the dirt

ThAt guy should’ve been ban for life

What is really amazing to me is how he was able to do what he did,,for soooo long..What a tangled web we weave,, when first we practice to decieve...

I hate reading but fuck!!!! I read the whole nine pages of this article and some times I went back reread some of the paragraphs just further understand cause I suck at reading!! But that article was absolutely incredibly detailed story of how fucked up long is!!!!!

Thieves and cheaters....grrrrrrrrrr

The first photo was a record-breaking blue catfish that Greg Bernal caught. Not Mike. For anyone wondering

I remember reading a bassmaster magazine article like 20 years ago on how he caught a 20lb bass on Lake Shasta or somewhere like that.

I wish I would have caught him! But him cheating has been obvious for 20 some years! It's the reason he always took pictures with fish but not videos!😂🤣😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️... Man why couldn't I bump into him!

Sometimes It’s like they say, “It’s harder to convince some people they got conned than it was to scam them in the first place.”

Mike Long was know as a cheater in bass tournaments back in 2000. Being a tournament fisherman in Southern California I fished a lot of tournaments and when fishing tournaments in San Diego lakes I would wait until the last minute to pay my entrance fees. I left 3 tournaments after seeing Mike Long show up by himself to fish the tournament. Would you like to guess who won those tournaments?

I don't fish bass tournaments but I do catfish and crappie. Its disgraceful

Mike fishes a spinning Rod upside down while reeling backwards because he prefers right hand retrieve reels

anyone here from canada and remember the fishing canada show in the 90's fishing illegally for views but this mike long is like 100 x worse .

Take the time and read the article. It is very compelling, and equally disgusting.

youre right this stuff sounds crazy..everybody in san diego had heard about it...but because this shit was so crazy it was unbelievable....glad kellen hopped in the ghillie suit and caught this dude..

he looked into that basses mouth and said,ya know little lady my wife aint been to friendly lately,thats why they call me a bass fucker!

Sounds like Mitch Rompala the bow hunter from Michigan

I don’t think we’ll ever see an apology from him, he did quite a few illegal things. If he has any lawyers they’re telling him to not say shit. Anything he could say could self incriminate him pretty badly

Dang... that's way too much trouble to cheat. I'd rather fish my best and catch nothing, but I tell you what at least I could walk in the house and look my family in the eye. Sad. 🏕🐟

I read some guys commented from now on whenever he snagged fish by accident he would call it “I mike long it” 👊🏽

we need to get the most updated photo of him and his truck and boat..post it within a 20 mile radius of any lake throughout the country...he wouldn't make it out of the ozarks for sure

Wow man this dude is freaking terrible! Who does this kind of stuff?

Everyone gets hard up for money or a taste of attention but some stoop to lower levels....keep it on the level folks! Good things come to good people!
