Mike. After my Father died in 1996. I was going to give up fishing. I sold alot of his fishing equipment. Then gave my Mother the money. I kept what didn't sell. I put what was left in my garage. Wouldn't even look at it! It took a while. But one day I got up the courage to look and grieve his loss. He was the Best fisherman I knew. I as I began combing through what fishing gear and lures were left. Great memories flooded my mind. Slowly, I began to want to get back out there. Fishing was our connection. My love for my Father and fishing were glued together. I could not separate them. I began to rebuild what wasn't sold. Cleaning, Oiling and organizing Rod's, Reel's and lures soft and hard baits. I even moved between to lakes in Southern Indiana. Still no boat. But just wanted to remember him and what he taught me about fishing. He passed at 60 years old. I was 36 then now I am 61. One year older when he passed. I am bigger and better for knowing him for just a little while. I have caught thousands of Bass since then. Even learned the baitcaster reel and how to catch Smallmouths. Thanks to your series. It once again brought even more memories of him and fishing. You are the teacher of Bass fishing and life. Congrats for this great series. Shawn.

@haydenswainoutdoors5688 2 года назад

Hey Mike I just want to say that I have been waiting for this episode, a lot of great memories. The 2003 classic was the first Bassmaster Classic I ever watched. I was 7 years old and thats what got me into competitive bass fishing. I started fishing on my high school team, I was college angler for Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and I've been fishing the BFLs as a co-angler for the last 7 years now. I know you won't remember this, but it was the 2013 National FFA convention you were there and I actually got to meet you. I never got a chance to say this in person but your phrase "never give up" has helped me a lot, not just in fishing but for everything in life. Looking forward to the next episode, keep up the good work Mike.

@oscarchip01 2 года назад

These vids feel like a video/audio telling of your book Fishing on the Edge. I love hearing it from you. You had called that spot the Heart. You had used the Stone Jig to catch them on Day 1. Then you talked about waiting for a tug to pass to create current which generated a bite. Then the last day you figured out the 1-2 punch. Great stuff Mike!

Not gonna lie, when we were teenagers my team partner and I used to have your “never give up” on audio recording. We would play it every time we’d catch a kicker on tournament day. Awesome memories 😂

@ScottinEC 2 года назад

Love this series!!!! Your story of working at at Dick’s and coming up through the federation series reminds me a lot of my friend Pat Schlapper. He won the bass nation and birthed into classic too. He’s now fishing the Elite Series and I couldn’t be happier for him. Keep up with the great videos. I’m not at an awesome time right now myself in life but that “Never Give Up” mentality is powerful stuff and I’ll get through it eventually. Thanks man and God Bless.

@ScottinEC 2 года назад

Will do, Sir! PS. You remember those berkley Ike jigs? It was a compact football jig with silicone skirt with a living rubber tied above it? I put many smallies in the boat on tourney day with those back then. I haven’t seen them in stores for years so I make my own now. Good memories back in the day.

@slimjimmy229 2 года назад

I remember watching this classic wile working my first job after graduating high school. My job was a sales associate in the lodge at Dick's. Being a diehard fishermen myself and seeing your passion in that moment drove me to pursue tournament fishing. Literally seeing that moment when you grasped your chest screaming "NEVER GIVE UP!" changed my life forever. Thanks for everything you have contributed to the sport.

I watched you as you broke into the scene. I thought, “wow, this guy is different. He doesn’t sound the same and he doesn’t act the same. This guy is actually fired up about fishing.” This series has helped me remember a lot about those years. Thank you for sharing your passion! About a year and a half ago, I started river fishing for musky in my kayak. I have caught 16 in that time period. Every one that I caught, I “pulled an Iaconelli.” Thanks again for everything that you have done for the sport and for all of us that have learned from you watching videos.
