Thanks for bringing this to us Mercer. Don’t always comment but always love your program!! Lee is a TX treasure and ya gotta love Jake’s take. You have one of the very best podcasts going my friend:-) Thanks Jake and Lee for sharing.

Thanks John, I am very thankful for the kind words. It’s awesome to see the incredible community of people that enjoy this show. It would not be possible without the awesome friends (guests) I get to record with every week. We will keep trying to bring the heat. Please be a pal and tell a pal about our show and channel.
Honest truth he’s guided my Dad Joe and Mom Laura down in Texas on Fork and my Dad said that’s best fisherman I’ve been in boat with my Dad couldn’t even fish the whole Day because Lee wore him out with 50 plus bass..I remember my Dad as always traveling we having guides told Lee pick ur rod up and cast but my parents never had more fun the times with Lee. They show horses down there every year! Been my favorite since his first tourney..I met Lee at oak ridge I asked everyone there who to get for a good guide just happy to see a good man doin well early!!and he remembered me meeting from year before getting his number for my dad and me but last time we called I understood he’s made the big show couldn’t be prouder..I know he’s a great person..I know the blue collar and see it loved seeing last years footage by far best footage of year and the minow bucket goin nuts to me cheering and friends like Lee in ky like Tommy Williams u keep it up Lee.. my dad is tough and he smiled caught nice ones and really thinks world of u as well
Thanks for watching William, Also thank you for sharing your family’s awesome story about Lee. He truly is an incredible angler but an even better human being 👊🏻
Jake must have a master in psychology..watching the live archives you can tell when Jake is behind the camera just in how the angler acts..outstanding job..a genuine dude
Thanks for bringing the heat again Mercer. “Jakes take” is definitely the best segment on this channel and ol Jake is a national treasure. The emotion that comes with him and the sport/anglers really brings it close to home because I get the same way watching all of these guys have their moments in the sport. Also nobody can say enough about lee being the people’s champ. I grew up watching the intimidator on Sunday’s , and jake hit the nail on the head comparing lee to that figure. Awesome episode, congratulations to Lee, to Jake, and to you, For all of yall’s success👊🏻👍🏻
Great show Dave. Lee had a lot of momentum coming into Fork after winning Ross Barnett. A home win is definitely the hardest to get and Lee has done it two years in a row. Btw, coming up blue collar will teach someone things they won't learn anywhere else. Whiskey Myers even wrote a song about that.
Another fun show! I hate it when you guys talk about crying and all the fellowship business because you know what. It makes me cry too lol. I’m a cry or to and I hate it. I do love the camaraderie…fellowship that comes between the anglers!!!! And the announcers and cameramen!
Enjoyed the show fellows, Last year at Champlain, my Grandson and I met Lee and we took our photo with him, he was very gracious and we talked like we knew each other for ever. Very happy for Lee's sucess, well deserved.
Love Livesay! I asked my brother “Is it bad I am rooting for the Lee over our locale guy BP!” I wish BP had an opportunity to fish his home Lake CDA. BASS would love CDA and I think Idaho would love BASS.
Boy Dave how can you not like the Big Guy. Congratulations Lee. Back to back. Love his style. His stock is rising at a meteoric rise. Seems like a genuinely good dude. Can’t get enough of the hottest field producer on the planet. Jake hits it out of the park every time. I swear I think he had Lee wiping tears a couple of time during that show. Not gonna lie Dave, always watched facts about fishing. In sought of that giggly laugh. You need to thank whoever told you to lose that. LOL. Probably Ray Scott if I were a betting man. However I endured and kept watching still do when I see it. You should plug it. On the show. I know that’s not your style. What am I thinking. Great show dude. Keep Jake on Lock ,at all cost.
Awesome show Dave! Made me feel like I was right there with them on the water. Lee is a class act that is great for the sport. And, as always, Jake is such a pleasure to watch.
Ik y’all remember me. Mercer I was asking you to put me on the show bc we talked about MDJ and Ish winning Oahe. Literally had me in tears 🤣 but I got to agree with Jake on Pickwick. Definitely got Lee on the next 2. Honestly we’ll pick him every event, and don’t count him out on Tennessee River Classic next year.
Oh I remember ya. I had a good time hanging with you and all of Lee’s boys. You guys are a great group. Look forward to seeing you guys all again in the future
Silent auction, closed bidding or auctioneer? Decisions! Jake I'd say you're in the drivers seat on starting bid. Both fellas have put some coin in there pockets this year.
Great show, Dave! But I'm curious...you've been vocal about your dislike of BASSTRAKK and when people know the tournament outcome prior to the weigh-in. Yet, you said this weigh-in was one of the "coolest one's ever" even though the outcome was known prior to the weigh-in. It seemed to me that the angler's had more fun with it, too, given that they were released from the stressful suspense of a typical weigh-in. Does this tournament change your views at all on knowing the outcome prior to the weigh-in? Also, every time I hear Bob Cobb do the introduction, I think why hasn't he been a guest? I'm sure he has lots of great stories to tell about B.A.S.S. I recently heard one about him and Ray Scott having Forrest Wood arrested so he wouldn't disclose the location for that year's Classic. Not sure if there's any truth there, but, if there is, Bob Cobb would be one of the best ones to tell the story! Keep up the great work, Dave!
It's not easy winning on your home water. Especially two years in a row and his spot on the final day was a place he'd never fished before. These are the best guys in the world and the guy who has a home field advantage hardly wins
@@jessecooper9795 any normal person has better odds of doing well on a lake that is their guiding lake. Common sense. All the violins about poor lee and it’s so hard…. Fake news
@@vrt1032 ain't nobody saying poor Lee. As far as locals go, you can actually hurt yourself by falling into places that worked in the past and relying on them too much. Any person that has tournament experience will tell you that. How come guys from up north win southern tournaments that has local pros fishing them? They find the fish and respond to what they're doing. Nice try though
