. Enjoy and appreciate you Mr.! long time now. Your vids rock . Thanks for allowing us to join you on your ventures. Always looking for the next one. Bless you and your family and friends.
The difference between between you Jacob, and most guys I watch is at around 15:00 . Most guys are worried about making a check, and you are already thinking about how you are going to win. THAT is why you are the best bass angler in the world right now.
Before I get to the tournament let me say how nice it is to see professional fisherman standing for the anthem - thank you!!!! Wow what a tournament - I live about 2 hours from Erie and have never saw it that tough. Great job!!!
I live about a half hour from Sandusky Bay on the west end of the lake, wish I could have made it out to the event. I've fished all over that area and it's so cool to recognize places you're at, we have a great fishery here and the variety of fish you can catch is incredible
Jacob, I for one appreciate you showing good sportsmanship and professional courtesy to your fellow competitors. That just shows you there is more than one way to behave. RTR
Had my first tournament last weekend on table rock and loved it. My buddy and I placed 13 out of 83 boats, but we’re unlucky because we would have had more weight but 3 fish were a quarter inch short which would have put us in top 5. Other than that I had a good time on a lake I had never fished until then and you, mark and those guys are the reason why I started so thanks.
Jacob....Ive followed professional bass fishing since the early 80s. Used to fish small time tournaments in the 80s and 90s......now days Im just a crappie fisherman and do some crappie tournaments. You Sir are a beast !!! Love how humble you are !! Best wishes for ya next season !!!!!!
Love your attitude you've had a great year. And you got a great family you got a lot going for you. I love how you interact with your friends. Especially you and mark. I know you work hard at fishing. Impressed with your knowledge of electronics and mapping
Just watched this whole tournament off the DVR today... totally awesome how you fished this one. You have been on fire the past months! Like KVD or Tiger in the 90s, like Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson in their runs... pure poetry in your fishing. Can't win em all... but you are getting SO close!
J.Wheels....You are a Class Act my man! 1oz I remember when I heard it the evening of the final weight in...I was like OMG You just needed one of those fish to have swallowed an extra crawfish or not spit out one once you got them in the boat...LOL
I was fixing to say tighten the drag just a touch.... then I realized I was fixing to tell Jacob Freaking Wheeler how to fish..... don't worry I have suspended myself from the internet for the rest of the day......
@@michaelgunter3197 really ?? I mean I have several 25 plus year old Ambassadors,Diawas,and Shimanos that have been used weekly since new and none are that loud on the cast !! Some of it might be the mic on his chesty picking up te sound.
Nice... Thanks for putting this up for us man. Water is beautiful there. You are snatching em up like popcorn. and with or without the win, you brought some fun to a lot of people. Thanks.
Wow! So many ups and downs... 1 ounce! Unreal... big ups to Lucas. ur a pros pro j wheel... still the best thats doin it right now... the channel is so sick bro🤙
I am pretty sure that is a Googan Drag n Drop that you are talking about. It is a lot like the Berkeley Flat Worm but has shell-shaped segments along the entire bait
@@rjm830 as in you don't think that's what he was throwing? Drag n Drops have a shell case, he had the Flat Worms loose in there. All pros do it lol I love Jacob to death I just thought it was funny.
Great vid Jacob. I’m going to hit the water for the first time in a month or better. Hurricane Laura totally destroyed our community. I’m a union electrician we have been super busy picking up the pieces so to speak can’t wait to get back on Toledo Bend.
JESUS Loves YOU ALL. JESUS died on the cross for everyones sins, HE went to hell for us ALL and after 3 days HE rose from the dead to give eternal life to ALL who will believe, obey and follow JESUS to the END.(Bible: John 3 :15-17/1st Corinthians 15: 1-4/ Romans 10:1-15 NKJV)
Glad to see that Patriotism and standing for the flag/national anthem is still alive and well in Pro Bass Fishing! I Cannot Stand any other professional sports except maybe PGA but NFL, MLB, NBA are all dead to me like many others based on comments that I've read. Great Job JW that was a tough loss for sure and I'm impressed by your positive attitude that's what makes you a tough competitor. You'll get em just keep doing what your doing.
You got that right,those pigs make me sick,The fans are pathetic for paying to see those piles insult our country,let em go play in china,see how that goes for em.
Still the best guy out there for this sport! Most guys would have blamed this blamed that for why they lost by an ounce. You took it as a sign to work harder and stay hungry. Not too many like you in the sport and life in general. Great job! And best of luck in the future!
My cousins live in Sandusky Ohio, (I live in east Tennessee, kingsport TN) an I remember the first time we went up there to visit them, they took us to the lake, an I thought it was the ocean!! Lol I talked to some of the locals an they told me about the big small jaws!
Nice right in my backyard man. Much respect. Lake Erie is a tough one but you almost had it! Ill try to catch you next time you fish up this way. My dad and I always wanted to meet you lol
That LUCAS comment was hilarious. 😂😂. He surely does need a few medals and a dozen or more of top 10s to be able to say something to wheeler. But for now, it’s a Ding buddy LuLu. 😂😂
Love watching your videos. they have helped me over the last year or so with my presentment and what to look for on new lakes. I am coming to the chic Oct 11-18 how should I prepare for that time of year on that lake? Thanks for any advise.
Bryan Embree hmm it should be a decent frog and topwater bite. Look for mats with life in them in the creeks to throw a frog on and submerged grass on the main lake flats to throw a walking bait.
Were you using all googan baits in this tournament? The reason I’m asking is because, a lot of anglers had said that you have to be crazy if you’re not using berkley baits when up north.
MLF weighs every fish over 2 lbs. They have an official in every boat who weighs all fish and uploads weight. This gives every fisherman in the tournment a real life tracking of where they rank, and how much weight they need to win. It's a catch and release immediately tournment. FLW is run like most other tournments in that it's only 5 fish weighed-in, then the fish are released. I doubt most anglers who left WFL this year will go back. The man who started it died, and the new owners refused to honor previous commitments, one of which was a promised big dollar tournment among the top 10 (I think it was top ten). Hope this helped.
You are the best Jacob. It’s amazing how well you find fish. I’ve been struggling at my little 500 acre home lake here in Michigan. I find myself asking “ what would JW do?”. 😀
Only wheeler can catch a big largie way off shore in erie. It's pretty much unheard of. They are thick in the harbours and near shore. But not in the middle of the lake.
Just wondering if yu weigh them and the scale has em locked what's the need to keep in the live well no hate at all honestly really curious I thought all tourneys stopped that it kills way to many fish.
We had a 3 fish limit tournanent up here in akwesasne (st lawerence river) last weekend and the winning bag was 15.8 lbs. We have some dodo smallies here.
I've eaten drum. It isn't great. Had planned to eat some bass while deer hunting one day and cook on the hill, but couldn't catch em that day and settled for two small bass and a drum between three buddies.
Fishing the Great Lakes a boat with a walk through windshield is the only way to go anything else your going to get wet but if your a bass tournament fishermen you have to have a bass boat
Fresh water drum r very good to eat meat is firm and flakey bout the same as a red fish. You have to cut the blood line or red meat out of them but very tasty.
Keep your head up Wheeler, you've been killing it this year.
Definitely one of my favorite pro bass fisherman to watch.
Yep
What’s some other good ones
@@banks4204 Kevin vandam I know he's doesn't do anymore tournaments but he's my favorite and another is Mike Iaconelli really awesome guy to watch

Not even close 😂😂

If you slow it down when he pulls it out it is clearly a drag n drop with the fat head.
you are a stand up Human we all look up too!! Keep grinding and you will keep providing for your family! Great work!

I stay in Dayton Ohio I hope 🤞 one day I get to run into you or see you on a lake lol also one of my favorite bass fisherman
The title leads me to believe Wheeler pays way too much for his weed

That sux Jacob I bet it was hard to sleep that night. The way your feeling now is the way you make a lot of anglers feel every tournament:)
I would love to go up to Lake Erie and fish with you and learn to fish this Great Lake!!
Great job. Really enjoying your videos
Always a class act.. Good onya Mr. Wheeler
awesome i just wish you would do 8 hrs of of practice and tournament , i cant get enough!

It use to be VanDam as top dog, now the tide has changed to Wheeler. Great video!!
I grew up on lake Eire and it can be a beast at any given moment it will change on you.
Launching in the western basin and running to st Clair is a freaking hull.
I like that view on day one that was sweet. Keep on killing the bass dudeee
If your trying to prolong the word dude. I get it. Lol. U said doody
The camera guys hate the boom stick
Camera guy can get over it for some sick content 😂 haha
@@planenerd24 it's the TV camera guy's that are carrying the bigger camera's so they're directly in front of it the whole time anyways
Wheeler Fishing yeah I gotcha. Do you know when a new video will be coming out on the Chanel? Always looking forward to them
You’re the best fisherman out there right now u can literally fish any way and catch biggins
Nice right in my backyard man. Much respect. Lake Erie is a tough one but you almost had it! Ill try to catch you next time you fish up this way. My dad and I always wanted to meet you lol

can you do more videos about what goes in my boat for whatever month it is
WooHoo on the one after the pitstop.
Keep up the hard work buddy
God bless you a JW. Great work.
WoW man 1 oz. Omg awesome job bro
Anyone know what brand sun gloves he uses? I can’t seem to find a decent pair
Wheeler with the flying smallmouth net job😂
Keeps you humble. But that’s why you do it
Can you explain the difference between mlf and flw? Like how you went from one to the other and if you are going back to mlf? Love the vids keep it ip

Only wheeler can catch a big largie way off shore in erie. It's pretty much unheard of. They are thick in the harbours and near shore. But not in the middle of the lake.
How does he locate these fish out in the middle of nowhere? Electronics and a lot of driving around?
You had the problem with your lock stop problem going off my is doing the same thang want was your answer to fix it
Just wondering if yu weigh them and the scale has em locked what's the need to keep in the live well no hate at all honestly really curious I thought all tourneys stopped that it kills way to many fish.
I notice you are not using the 360 any particular reason?
Hey Jacob what kind of reels do you use??
Duckettt bait casting reels and shimano Stradic spinning reels
What a great video, you are such a great sportsman and mentor. God is working you something fierce my brother.
We had a 3 fish limit tournanent up here in akwesasne (st lawerence river) last weekend and the winning bag was 15.8 lbs. We have some dodo smallies here.
Jacob, Can you go over your drop shot technique? Looks like you have a different hook than an octupus hook. @wheelerfishing
Anyone have a clue where he was on Erie for those smallmouth?
Where i can buy that specific weight scale?
Jacob, Great job Hoosier Heart.
Jacob please make a video of your trophy room.
I've eaten drum. It isn't great. Had planned to eat some bass while deer hunting one day and cook on the hill, but couldn't catch em that day and settled for two small bass and a drum between three buddies.
love the videos
Fishing the Great Lakes a boat with a walk through windshield is the only way to go anything else your going to get wet but if your a bass tournament fishermen you have to have a bass boat
Brother you are going to have a lot of seconds and thirds in your career because you are going to have so many firsts. It's a good thing!
Am I missing something. If he need 18.9 to win and he got 18.8 shouldn't it be a tie. What was the tie breaker?
Probably the biggest fish.
Lake St Clair is a awesome lake but I think you can catch a monster bag o Erie Kelly island bass island holds monster smallies
Great video. But where is the video with you guys staying at a place and playing some golf, and you smash a birdhouse
Adrian and the home owner settled it and he allowed us to show it.. the Florida vlog
How much do you win for second?
Ur my fav fisherman
What bibs are those?
What net is that
Done!! Love the videoan!!!
Love the videos man!! That is
Way to go whealer
My man went home and cuddled with his wife and just pondered his career😂
Fresh water drum r very good to eat meat is firm and flakey bout the same as a red fish. You have to cut the blood line or red meat out of them but very tasty.
Wow 1 oz!!!! A couple of fish probably peed out that much 🤒
