Everyone loves jay dub !! Great guy ! Love him !
Just received my Ding hat this week😃🔥👏
Nice 🛎️
Bro, I feel for you! Nothing in the world worse than back problems!
Amazing to listen to Wheeler, and his thought processes. He’s always two steps ahead of the field right now. Met him at the second classic that was on Grand before he blew up. He sat and talked to my 8 year old step-daughter for thirty minutes. Took her around to other booths and introduced her to other anglers, and loaded her up with goodies. Such a cool moment that I will never forget.
That’s an awesome story. Thanks for sharing it Clint. Thanks also for the well wishes. Hopefully it gets better soon.
Love the show!!!🤟🎣 Hope your feeling better Dave
Thanks Randy. I will be working on it. Appreciate the kind words 👊🏻
Great discussion fellas! Way to play thru the pain, Dave! Good luck JW!
Subscribed. Shoulda done it before now. Long time viewer and fan. Thank you for doing this interview - I’m a big Wheeler fan but since the split I’ve been following both series closely!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the sub and the support. We try to deliver a good show every single week
wow great stuff dave!
Thanks John. I appreciate you watching and commenting
Pulled into the gas station down the road a couple years back, looked over and seen the academy truck and boat. Thought theres no way, but there he was. Dudes a class act for sure.
Thanks for sharing. That’s awesome
Confidence with respect and class...DING!!!
100%
Great show. It’s nice to see the personal side of the pros.
Thanks 13. We post a new show every Wednesday at 6pm eastern
🐐 goat
Great Interview!
Thanks for watching. Please subscribe 👍
Great video interview / vidcast (since podcasts are technically audio only 😉)!
Wheeler is a great guy, and you asked some very good questions.
Thanks very much Rex. Jacob is always great to chat with. I hope you watch every week
Good show
Thanks Jim! I hope you have a great week
good interview Dave! now rest that back buddy!
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the well wishes and support.
Great show Dave!!!
Whether you like the organization that he fishes in or not you have to admit he is the
#1 Pro Angler in the world at this moment!!
Hope the back gets better soon Dave!!
#DING 🛎
Thanks Michael, he is definitely a machine. Thanks for the well wishes 👊🏻
Great show Dave! Wheeler is like a snow ball just keeps getting bigger. He ain’t done rolling yet. Hope your back get better.
Thanks Mark, he is definitely just getting started. I hope we see him back at BASS some time in the future
Holyshit !! Wheeler talked to a Bass Employee lol lol Mercer 🍻🥂 Cheers DING DING from B.C
Miracles do happen 😂
Great show! You ask good questions to get Jacob discussing his past, present & even future! I like your Crystal Ball- JW will compete & win a Classic! Get your back well even if takes many trips to your liquor cabinet!
Thanks David, I really appreciate the kind words and the cabinet has been visited often 😂
@@factsoffishing ohhhh "cabinet" works very well too! 🍻🍻
@@davidcahan2978 too well sometimes 😂
Great show Dave! Wonder how long before Jacob starts wanting to add a Bassmaster Classic Trophy to his case……what else is there for him?
I ask him just that question near the end of the interview. Only time will tell 🤞
Cannot believe how few thumbs up this has. Best one yet!
Thanks, as long as we have our hardcore audience I am good with that. But I agree more people should be all over this
Great show Dave! I can't believe that the "powers that be" at Minor League Fishing let JWheels come on your show. Jacob is a good angler, no doubt one of the best. To be one of the greatest, he'll need to return to the Real Major League of Bass Fishing, B.A.S.S. and hopefully get a Classic win and/or a B.A.S.S. A.O.Y. Until then, he's one of the best to have never won a B.A.S.S. Classic or A O.Y. Keep them coming Dave, hope your back is better brother.
Thanks for watching Steve, I hear this podcast is breaking down walls and even helping my old buddy finally book Wheeler 😂. Let’s all get along
@@factsoffishing I like yours and Luke's podcasts and wish you both well. As for mlf, nope. A couple of the powers that be over there have zero integrity or honor. B.A.S.S. is the real Major League of Bass Fishing.
@@TN-Vols-Fan I appreciate your support and every single viewer.
Thanks for having Wheeler on. He’s a stand up dude. I don’t know if he’d be AS dominant if he fished the Elites, but it’s a moot point. He’s working HIS pay plan. My preference in leagues is B.A.S.S., but there is little doubt that he’s the best in the sport right now.
Hope your back gets to feeling better soon. It’s easy to tell that you’re “uncomfortable”. Keep pumping out these awesome p casts. All the best bud! 👊🏻🎣
Hey Dean, No thanks needed. I’m thankful Jacob came on the show. He was a great guest and I can’t wait to have him back on when I am not squirming in pain lol. Thanks for the well wishes
He would dominate the elite series. Have you forgotten he won his first 2 elite series events before he made the move to fish MLF. I swear some of you guys have no idea what your talking about. Love you Mercer but some of your fans are ignorant
Thats your opinion. And that’s why I capitalized AS. I don’t know what I’m taking about because I have a differing opinion? Why do you have to be condescending? If you want to see ignorance look in the mirror.
@@deanlyons703 because your opinion is so off base. Name one person on the elite series that would give Jacob wheeler a problem. Zero. Almost every top 50 fisherman fishes in MLF. Explain that one Touro
Well he won 2 elite trophies and came out 2nd in a bass classic already. so I think he could compete. Just facts.
After this he calls dunkin and says he going to have to give in and do his podcast. 😂😂😂😂
Who ?
@@factsoffishing yeah, no shiat!!😂😂😂😂😂
@@xlrationmarine we just over hear try to make a good show.
Honey pour me a drink!!!😂
Get that back taken care of. You still had a banger of a podcast.
Thanks Ross, it’s a problem I have dealt with my whole life. I hope it gets better soon. I gotta go fishing
Dave, great podcast, again. Find yourself a chiropractor who does electro-acupuncture. I've been dealing with degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my lower back for years. I just found electro-acupuncture and it's a game changer. Get better soon. Keep up the shows.
Thanks so much Tyler. I appreciate the tip, unfortunately I have tried that and got little success but I am getting other treatments that are starting to slowly work 🤞. I am thankful to have such caring and supportive people watch the channel. 👊🏻
WOW Just Awesome Dave! I'm going to say It does NOT MATTER what Organization Wheeler fishes with he would win anywhere he go's He is the best Stick out there right now!!! I've had some back issues I hope yours gets better SOON! Thanks for your time and content !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Droptine, Wheeler is an incredible angler. Thankfully this was a few months ago. My back is much better
Please do a show with Pat 🤣🤣🤣 that would be classic.
I would love too. Just gotta convince Pat
Dave do you know you hardly blink your eyes. Staring down that screen like a wildman. Lol enjoy the show.
Maybe you both just blink at the same time! Ha
Focus 👀
@@aaronrobinson6161 ok this just blew my mind lol
I’ll expect my check in the mail Dave! Ha
I can empathize with back issues…they really suck. “My doctor says I need a Backiotomy”. Feel better Dave!🤞
Thanks Musky Bites, I appreciate the kind thoughts. I will whoop this. Pain is just a reminder that you are still alive.
😂
Do you think KOD wheeler will ever come back to the best, BASS, or will he continue in the D league
I hope he does but either way he has the right to do what he thinks is best for him and his family.
@@factsoffishing yeah but damn it would be nice to see him fishing against the Elite fishermen
@@Mjones8383 I hear ya
How much did this interview cost you per minute Dave? 😂
Priceless
Merce, I sympathize with your back issues…. But Dude, standing up with just your flashy hot red undies on! Did you forget about the pants wearing deal since you usually only show from the waist up or what? Zooming rookie mistake dude!🤣😂🤣
They were red shorts but I will let you fantasize about what ever you want 😂😂😂. Thanks for the well wishes
He belongs in the elite series. Jacob leave MLF. 🤣
I don’t think that’s happening soon but I do in my heart believe he will be back at some point. There is only 1 Bassmaster Classic
@@factsoffishing With the way the Bass fishing world has changed, I would like to see BASS evolve as well and make the Classic a true SuperBowl of bass fishing and include all the different trails top 15 anglers, rather than anglers fishing the Opens. The Opens are a path to the one of the top tiers in professional bass fishing. There is room for all of these pro tours. I believe we've seen that this year. They have all done really well and been very entertaining. The sport needs a true world championship and i believe that should be the Classic. I believe all the organizations should be able to come together and make this happen. Come one Dave...make this happen!!
@@michaelfrisko9614 thanks for watching & thanks for your comments. Your idea has been done already. The TTBC used to be the top 15 from Bass, FLW & the PAA at the time. They did that for over a decade. It sounds like a great idea but it’s highly unlikely now. In today’s current pro fishing world, to ask bass to host anglers from other circuits at the Bassmaster Classic is like cheating on you wife, leaving her to marrying someone else but still expecting to get invited to Christmas. I don’t see it happening but you never know. Thanks again for watching
@@factsoffishing I don't know that I agree with that. The TTBC was never looked at as World Championship, it was more of a all-star event. Out of all the pro tours, BASS SHOULD be the organization to host such and event...it's been around the longest and is the face of the sport and it's history. But times have changed. MLF does have the biggest names, both young and old. Notice I didn't say the best anglers. And that group that left BASS to form MLF didn't do it because they disliked BASS or what it represents, they did it because they had to take care of themselves, not the organization they competed in. It's hard to say which tour has the best because they all have great anglers. But having the variety the sport has today and the live coverage it has today, BASS sort of owes the sport and fans to make the Classic the biggest and best championship out there and that should include the top anglers from all the top tours, for that particular season. All the tours would benefit from it (BASS, BPT, Pro Circuit, NPFL). With all the tours cutting the bottom group of anglers to keep things fair and fresh, all the tours are going to start looking the same. Which in my opinion is ok as long as they can sustain their season and individuality. This would be a smart move on BASS's part...they would show that they don't hold a grudge, that they are more concerned for what's best for the sport and its' fans rather than which organization is best, and it would show that they can grow with and\for the sport. Not to mention that it would be a fantastic event! Probably the biggest Classic EVER (from a money making standpoint)! Look at The Masters. Thats the type of event The Classic could and should be! If BASS doesn't do it, someone else probably will try and who knows...maybe the Classic becomes the next Forrest Wood Cup (RIP).
Sorry for ranting about this. I feel strongly about it and our sport. I think the sport still has some evolving to do in order for it to be where it wants to be. But, in my opinion, since the split, it is moving in the right direction. If you are a fan of competitive bass fishing, has it EVER been as good as it is right now??
@@michaelfrisko9614 to make the super bowl you gotta play in the NFL.
Why do these fishermen always feel the need to hold the fish out so its 6" from the camera and the sense of scale is totally thrown off? I hate that.
Well hopefully you enjoy the podcast
If it hadn't been won't to see mr ding I would have clicked on this show dumb dumb opening
Well thanks for watching. But if you did not click on it you would never know about the “dumb dumb opening” 😂.
@@factsoffishing LMAO!
@@DROPTINE I think I made a very valid point😂
@@factsoffishing I Agree!
While there is no doubt Jacob is a talented angler, unfortunately the way he (and others) left BASS says a lot about the person he is. Sorry, I have little respect for those guys and the way they behaved. Sorry Dave, I can't watch this one.
Hey Kevin, I appreciate your support and I also appreciate your right to not watch. Hope you like the next show better 👊🏻
@@factsoffishing Hope your back feels better soon, Looking forward to next weeks show.
@@kevingonyea The people that listen this this show are the coolest & you just proved it again. Have a great week
I used to watch videos from people like Wheeler but after listening to pros talk about the $50000 worth of electronics these guys use to catch fish I've stopped completely. Fishing was legitimate in the early days of some like Roland Martin, but has now turned into an elitist sport with "pros" relying exclusively these crazy gadgets. I love to fish, have ZERO electronics and rely on visual indicators to get on'em. These guys are BULLSHITTERS, anyone out there could bag a ton of fish on these guys boats.
No I’m sorry to tell you it’s not that easy. Why do pros still have bad days then if they got all the good stuff? Wheeler was a beast before all of this madness in electronics and he’s still a beast with them
They ALL come back with full live wells, the only question is who’s $25000 360 thermal radiation homing device pulled in the biggest fish. The sport is dead, now wipe your mouth, I’m pretty sure Wheeler has finished.
WeStIsThEbEsT 78 don’t take your bad day fishing out on me and Wheeler. Get yourself some electronics and find those fish
I appreciate your feedback and you watching. I think the best thing about fishing is you can do it at whatever level you choose. From as simple as a cane pole to a fully rigged out bass boat with all the electronics. But trust me coming from a guy lucky enough to own one of those tricked out boats. It takes more than the boat to catch em 😂. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
@@factsoffishing Got a reply from the man himself, great stuff. Big fan of your show going back years, very entertaining . Also love how he respects the fish and always handles /releases them properly . I'm sticking to my guns about the issue but leaving it alone to show Dave some well earned respect. All the best.
