I was young once but Jacob is tireless. Fans are great but they need to remember these guys are putting it all out there. Sometimes you need to give them a break. Thanks for the video.
This is where I noticed the change in the way broll edits your videos, in rewatching them in order. OUTSTANDING JOB on this one gents! The music, transitions, ect were all on point and made for excellent viewing. Only thing I would have liked to see, but understand it was already a longer video, was more footage of the final days. Still a gem though, great work!
Absolutely love the length of these vids..keeps me entertained from start to finish. Editing on point as always. B-rolls for days! Loved the ski goggles the first marshal had on! Lol. Jacob and DC are the two most entertaining pros to watch!
Awesome stuff... great job with the editing and the behind the scenes footage. Again, you’re a great ambassador for the sport. All we need now is a Jacob Wheeler TV show.
I'm sure it takes a lot of time and effort to create videos like this, but I loved it. Great seeing how you go about fishing a tourney and the little details of your day. Keep on working Jacob, I see you going a long way in this sport.
Awesome tournament man it sure was a nail biter when I was watching on livestream and I pulling for you so hard to win every time you caught one I was screaming and jumping up and down just like when I’m watching am Alabama football game lol love the videos bro especially these long ones hands down you are my favorite angler on tour and now on UA-cam and next time you’re in Alabama hit me up I’ll take you out on my private lake and we’ll catch some giants. 👍🏼👊🏼
Great job! Love watching and learning from you. Second is a lot better than last. I also had you on my fantasy team.. Keep up the hard work and love for bass fishing.
at this level of competition you do your best and finish 2nd a well done is in order not a "if you aint first your last". I know a hundred guys would trade their finish for yours. well done Jacob.
Top 3 if not the best tournament recap ive seen... great content to learn from. Longer video is definitely better in my opinion. See ya at Hartwell in April
I have been following Bill Dance since i was a kid! You're the next generation from Tennessee of great bass fisher!!! Good job jacob👍🎣finished watching vid congrats on 2nd place🎉🍻
awesome video, great cuts, great angles, combo of vlogging and fishing. Touched on everything. really kept me entertained. Thanks for the quality.. Love the Yolotek on the back.. I just picked up their BOOM to go into my back seat base while fishing alone.
Great video, and also a great finish! By far my favorite angler on the elite series! If you’re ever down in Kentucky i would love to meet/ fish with you one day!
Between 27 and 29 mins into this video, you were fishing a spoon like lure with a treble hook on it. Were you sitting on top of a school? How deep were you fishing and what's that lure called big dog? It looked epic.
Jacob what is the smaller spoon you were using? It looks like a saltwater lure we use here in the North East called a hopkins no=Eql, is that it? Thanks for the TCS martin rod recommendation as well, that APC martin rod is really amazing especially at the price!
On a serious note, do you have any opinions on the advantages/things you liked about this format vs the regular series formats for the remaining events?
Your videos are sick man! Would love to get out with you and do some filming with a couple of guys from the Penn State Bass team if you ever have time and want to slay some smallies up north. Good luck in the rest of the trail this year!
Well hopefully next year I qualify with the southern opens to fish with you guys the following year. You and mark seem like a cool bunch to hang out with. We would all be the young bucks lol taking them all down. I’ll see you on St. John’s river. I’m down here living in Harris chain.
hey Jacob, me and my father have tried so many different fluorocarbons and none of them seem to be any good. most of them would break within 100 casts. we use pline fluoroclear and it seems to work great whats ur suggestion on fluorocarbon
Stren icefishing fluoro blue is my favorite for any time of the year. Super sturdy in hot and cold temps. I use 8 lb and have pulled in 5lb bass after bass and tons of catfish. Did i mention the spool is nearly 10 yrs old and still is strong as hell?
the down imaging screen is showing the rear of my boat and the 2d is a cone directly down from the trolling motor, the stronger their signal the closer they are directly to under the trolling motor on the 2d screen. If i can see a bunch on both screens then they are all over beneath the boat
Does the 2d sonar only show what's under you typically or where ever the cone is facing? Because I have a helix 5 base model and I see them, some red, some blue and i can never get on them because i dont know how to find them and I've spent hours fishing a hole with activity and haven't gotten any luck haha
IA there any particular reason why on all the pros boats they don't fill their wells until after they catch a keeper. Just curious if it's a weight thing or having fresh water.
Jacob maybe you can break it down into multiple parts. There are times when I don't have the time to watch all in one sitting. Beside I like the suspense waiting for the next part. Just my opinion.
My brother lives up there and has a boat house..he baits it once in a while and I called him a cheater. He says what? I can't talk the fish into biting. Every year I go up there and hang out in the boat house and every time I catch a Large Mouth Lunker, Hawg..whatever the term is 5-6 lbs. I turn it loose. It can only get bigger. I earned my golden hook. Nice job coming in second. That's not an easy thing to do. Fish on brother.
Did you hear that VA Game and Inland Fisheries "there is a thousand fish in there." Get on board with Texas Park and Recreation. Don't make a few avid fisherman have to get YOUR permission to stock F1 with their OWN money. You are reading correctly, Virginia commission is "letting" (permission) private anglers pay to stock Smith Mountain Lake which is on the ropes. We are talking thousands of dollars. VAGIF needs to step into the 21st century. It's a no brainer. TPR has figured it out--funding--transporting--stocking.
Was a special format for the Texas Bass Fest, the history behind it is that it originally was on Lake Fork (i believe) with a slot limit and it's always been ran that way since, weighing each fish and then keeping biggest. It was still based off of limit size.
You can fit Virginia into Texas (6) times. Virginia has 2800 square miles of inland water. Texas has 5600 square miles of inland water. Geographically Texas has (6) times the ground to cover and twice the amount of inland waters. Texas stocked over 40 Million fish (some salt water) and capped large fisheries with 500,00 finger lengths. In summary TPW is ROCKIN' Texas with super stockings and 6 times the size of VA with twice as much inland waters. Virginia Game and inland fisheries YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. People are traveling long distances to catch / compete in TEXAS while we got few VA good ole boys digging in their own pockets to stock bass to SAVE Smith Mountain Lake. How can you be proud of that?
I was young once but Jacob is tireless. Fans are great but they need to remember these guys are putting it all out there. Sometimes you need to give them a break. Thanks for the video.
This is why your one of the best and most approachable pros out there!!!!
This guy is the best ive ever seen love watching him fish and his attitude towards other people is great
One of the best guys on the tour right now. Great job and video Jacob. Pulling for you dude.
This is where I noticed the change in the way broll edits your videos, in rewatching them in order. OUTSTANDING JOB on this one gents!

Awesome vid man!! One of the best fisherman on the Elite Series for sure.
Absolutely love the length of these vids..keeps me entertained from start to finish. Editing on point as always. B-rolls for days! Loved the ski goggles the first marshal had on! Lol. Jacob and DC are the two most entertaining pros to watch!
Awesome stuff... great job with the editing and the behind the scenes footage.
Again, you’re a great ambassador for the sport. All we need now is a Jacob Wheeler TV show.
Thanks man! May have to work on that :P
Wheeler your channel is great man. Thank you! Can’t wait until you come back to Champlain!
me neither!
I'm sure it takes a lot of time and effort to create videos like this, but I loved it. Great seeing how you go about fishing a tourney and the little details of your day. Keep on working Jacob, I see you going a long way in this sport.
Appreciate it man! Just glad it's worth it!
Great video !! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite anglers..
Appreciate it!
You killed me with that random Mario sound. My toddler is asleep on me and I laughed so hard I about woke her up. Thanks for that hahaha
Awesome tournament man it sure was a nail biter when I was watching on livestream and I pulling for you so hard to win every time you caught one I was screaming and jumping up and down just like when I’m watching am Alabama football game lol love the videos bro especially these long ones hands down you are my favorite angler on tour and now on UA-cam and next time you’re in Alabama hit me up I’ll take you out on my private lake and we’ll catch some giants. 👍🏼👊🏼

Thank you! I hope you enjoy
The best one hour lunch I’ve had in a long time thanks for the video Keep them coming catching them Biggans
Glad we could help! Did you like the longer video or would you prefer more consistently uploaded shorter episodes?
I enjoyed the hour video but from what I see on UA-cam there’s not very many people doing it but keep the videos coming Catching Biggins
at this level of competition you do your best and finish 2nd a well done is in order not a "if you aint first your last". I know a hundred guys would trade their finish for yours. well done Jacob.
Enjoyed the video as usual u can tell how much u have fun fishing
Thanks! I love it!
Great video and excellent editing. I dig the transitions. I liked the longer vid as well. Great content.
Thanks!
Sick editing, B-Roll. Love your channel Jacob! 👊🏼 I'd love to hang out and fish with you one day.
Appreciate it! Where are you out of?
Jacob Wheeler Fishing Las Vegas

awesome video, great cuts, great angles, combo of vlogging and fishing. Touched on everything. really kept me entertained. Thanks for the quality.. Love the Yolotek on the back.. I just picked up their BOOM to go into my back seat base while fishing alone.
Thanks man! They’re pretty neat! I keep breaking my anchor light on the power pole so I didn’t get that angle the last half of the season
Video of very Success Congratulations *Fisherman!* 👍
Have a great week and good fishing.
HUG!

Thanks Jimmy!
Great job Jacob, thought you had it, keep up the good fishing, see ya at the chick!
Thanks Jeff!
Between 27 and 29 mins into this video, you were fishing a spoon like lure with a treble hook on it. Were you sitting on top of a school? How deep were you fishing and what's that lure called big dog? It looked epic.
Man I was over here watching older videos man Jacob
haha sorry!
Love that ending quote!
classic
Jacob what is the smaller spoon you were using? It looks like a saltwater lure we use here in the North East called a hopkins no=Eql, is that it? Thanks for the TCS martin rod recommendation as well, that APC martin rod is really amazing especially at the price!
war eagle
Bass fisherman living the dream😃 For the life of me, no dang way I could sit in a boat and watch someone fish all day with out fishing myself.
Keep up the good work Jacob fro your friends in kokomo Indiana
On a serious note, do you have any opinions on the advantages/things you liked about this format vs the regular series formats for the remaining events?
Your videos are sick man! Would love to get out with you and do some filming with a couple of guys from the Penn State Bass team if you ever have time and want to slay some smallies up north. Good luck in the rest of the trail this year!
Good job bro! It was fun hanging out with you.
Appreciate it man
Love your Paul Ellias impression at the 31 min mark. And it got you a 3 pounder
it works!
Jacob Wheeler Fishing Yes it does.
Awesome video Jacob! Grats on 2nd man!!
Thank you!
You got it man! You are one of the few people I would watch an hour long video for, lol!!
Music at 24 min and 30min? Love Brodys edit skills!
No ads 😎. Thank you.
Love watching your videos Jacob!!You are my favorite fisherman to follow!!Headed to the MLF?
Middle of the day, blue bird skies, no wind and you’re catching them on a whopper plopper topwater. WTH? Please explain?
For small mouth, them the best conditions for whopper plopper.
another great video jacob
Thanks!
Question when your running your graph is still picking up bottom. Do you have a thru Hull ducer?
Boostedassasins yeah
Well hopefully next year I qualify with the southern opens to fish with you guys the following year. You and mark seem like a cool bunch to hang out with. We would all be the young bucks lol taking them all down. I’ll see you on St. John’s river. I’m down here living in Harris chain.
hey Jacob, me and my father have tried so many different fluorocarbons and none of them seem to be any good. most of them would break within 100 casts. we use pline fluoroclear and it seems to work great whats ur suggestion on fluorocarbon
Suffix!
That’s what I use you can’t go wrong with it for sure.
Stren icefishing fluoro blue is my favorite for any time of the year. Super sturdy in hot and cold temps. I use 8 lb and have pulled in 5lb bass after bass and tons of catfish. Did i mention the spool is nearly 10 yrs old and still is strong as hell?
Yessssssssss l was the one mudding at 1:10:02
The goggles are killing me I love them things
What was the top water prop bait you were using? Really enjoy your videos
used a rapala prop bait and a plopper styled prototype bait
You are awesome, the best ever seen, good job.
how did you know the school was directly under your boat from your graph, and not out in front? is it the color that shows up on the graph?
the down imaging screen is showing the rear of my boat and the 2d is a cone directly down from the trolling motor, the stronger their signal the closer they are directly to under the trolling motor on the 2d screen. If i can see a bunch on both screens then they are all over beneath the boat
Does the 2d sonar only show what's under you typically or where ever the cone is facing? Because I have a helix 5 base model and I see them, some red, some blue and i can never get on them because i dont know how to find them and I've spent hours fishing a hole with activity and haven't gotten any luck haha
IA there any particular reason why on all the pros boats they don't fill their wells until after they catch a keeper. Just curious if it's a weight thing or having fresh water.
I think it's just routine for most people. I would imagine if anyone purposely doesn't fill it, would be because of weight
Long vlog but a good one indeed! keep up the great work
Any tips or suggestions?! Seriously, still new to this vlogging thing and appreciate the input
Jacob maybe you can break it down into multiple parts. There are times when I don't have the time to watch all in one sitting. Beside I like the suspense waiting for the next part. Just my opinion.
Awesome video again!
Daniel Thomas thanks!
What kind of spoon were u using I’m new to that style of fishing
Cotton Cotton Cordell C.C. Spoon Chrome 3/8 Oz
Awesome stuff Jacob very cool ,,,,
thanks!
Awesome as usual !
Thanks Craig!
Miss seeing you on Geist. You need to get back up here.
I will soon!
I feel like I started this video a year ago😂 Awesome video Jacob👍🏻 Keep it up!
haha! hope you liked it!
Jacob Wheeler Fishing most definitely I talked to u at Sabine at the tanks good job man!
In the days of 25 dollar crankbaits, wheeler wacks em and stacks em with a $1.50 piece of lead, classic! Nice job!
:P thanks!
Awesome, dude!!!
great videos JW!
appreciate it!
Most versatile Angler on the planet sheesh
18:43 I see you sneaking those rods back in the box before you hit the dock. Very sneaky
observant :P
Why would he leave them all over the deck...?
Did they weigh this fish right after you caught them?
Yeah you can see them weighing them throughout a lot of this video, they weighed each one and we could bring in one over 18"
Jacob Wheeler Fishing your right I could see it that was my mistake. Just different then most tournaments. Think they should always do it this way.
Why do some tournaments they release immediately and others they bring 5 in?
Guess Who rules of that state most likely? Not 100 percent sure.
Would love to have one of his blue and white fishing rods im form Toronto Canada and have no idea how to get one
Thought that rod was going over for sure at 15:36 😂
Zach Bowen 😂
When you caught the biggen you dropped you rod and I was like ahhhh there it goes I dont know how it stayed on
My brother lives up there and has a boat house..he baits it once in a while and I called him a cheater. He says what? I can't talk the fish into biting.
Every year I go up there and hang out in the boat house and every time I catch a Large Mouth Lunker, Hawg..whatever the term is 5-6 lbs. I turn it loose. It can only get bigger. I earned my golden hook.
Nice job coming in second. That's not an easy thing to do. Fish on brother.
I believe I caught sight of my old buddy James Overstreet about 20 minutes in .
Also won't they let you use a net?
Jacob is the real life version of the cop that says "party man" on cabin fever.
Bell Mobility should sponsor you because I’m 100$ over my data because of you
11:25 the marshall looks so done with everything
In need of that sound track good stuff tho guy
where do i get his spoons>?!!
i think an external mic would help with the audio and commentary
We got one just need to get it set up!
Jacob Wheeler Fishing your videos are still awesome brother
that judge is sooo confused she thinks hes talking to him self hahahahahahah 2:40 mark
If your ever in South Carolina I’d love to go fishing man, learn some stuff from you and fish off a boat never done that before
Where at in South Carolina?
Jacob Wheeler Fishing upstate in fort mill. Closer to Charlotte
What’s sup how’s it going
Going good man, how about you?
Burts bees ftw step your game up! lol
That super mario! Awesomeness!
thought that was a nice little touch :P
Jacob Wheeler Fishing yes it was! Great job out there. You're killing it. Learn a lot by watching you work out there
My apologies to TEXAS PARK AND WILDLIFE for incorrect commentary.
You have got to get that audio fixed can't hear ya most times
This is ridiculous how many fish you caught lol😂
This wasn't even all of them too! Place is incredible!
Dude, where's the imodium? No fisherman should leave home without it......
Every time I go to lake fork I stop at the same station for imodium, because I NEED it. Theres a curse on me fishing that lake...
Cool kinda
kinda ? :/
Wheeler, your passenger does not look very happy. At least you could do is keep her smiling throughout the day!

I also won on this lake like a week before bass came (for proof go check me out at the_basser2025 on Instagram)
Dang! BASS is going MLF now eh?
Was a special format for the Texas Bass Fest, the history behind it is that it originally was on Lake Fork (i believe) with a slot limit and it's always been ran that way since, weighing each fish and then keeping biggest. It was still based off of limit size.
Awesome!
The wife just wants to go home... seems like a real drag
Your video is great but sections have a roaring sound. Too much to handle.
5.4lb on the whopper plopper
