A couple days late on this vid, my bad :P New fishing vids coming this week!
1Rod1ReelFishing first to like
1Rod1ReelFishing hi mike you the best
1Rod1ReelFishing I know you have to make decisions but this is a big mistake, you had a great potential of going pro with your friends but whatevs
1Rod1ReelFishing where in Florida are you?
1Rod1ReelFishing lol that plane at 2:12.
Mike,
We're still happy to be working with you and we appreciate all you've done with us over the past few years and we know 2017 will continue to be a great year for you, Googan or not. We're happy to be working with all of you guys in whatever way is best for each individual person and we look forward to another amazing year!
Mystery Tackle Box would love to be sponsored by you! lol obviously not on this username. will be starting channel soon once bay area storm is over!
Mystery Tackle Box
Thanks for being positive to mike love u guys at MTB keep up the great boxes and tight lines
Well said MTB.
Thank you for continuing your partnership with 1Rod1ReelFishing.
MTB! You just made me Team Mystery Tackle box! well said!
Mike, Huge respect for you. I can tell that was a tough decision and that kind of deal is tailor made for single guys. It took a lot of guts to pull out of it. It's also easy to tell that you love Emily a lot. Mad respect. Keep blowing it up.
Flukemaster you the men
I agree. Honestly, I think the house might spell the end for the Googan squad; what makes collaborations interesting is one person leaving their element to go experience someone else's element, but now they are all in the same element. Cool that they are here in Texas and all, but I have my concerns... especially for Peric's life and Rob and John's sanity; I would never sign a contract to live with Peric, haha
Flukemaster is one of the classiest guys on UA-cam, sorry I ever doubted you!
Flukemaster one of the greatest guys on UA-cam, as well as Mike. The whole squad is great as well, but what are they going to do in ten years when they want to get married? I'm huge into fishing, but that's a lot of commitment for bit even being pro.
Flukemaster But Lake Fork and Lunker's are both married, how is it for single guys?
Who else is watching this in 2019 when he just rejoined them😂
Yeah, I only started watching Mike a couple months ago. I have no clue about any of this stuff. I’d never heard of the Googan Squad before a few weeks ago.
Just watched the re- join video before this
2021 baby
@@jmanbgg same
I’m watching this in 2022
Mike, life crushed or not, you have a beautiful wife and a son. That’s all you need. Have been with you for 4 years. Keep it up
Mike...just so you know, you will ALWAYS be in the Asian Squad. nothing will ever change that. :)
Extreme Philly Fishing I am a white boy from Illinois but I love bass fishing. Can I be an honorary member of the Asian invasion!?
can i be an honorary member too? Been with you since 10k. (At least on my other account, this is my video account)
ASIAN SQUAAAAAAAD
Pateick JEwSEr Thank you! Tight lines and fish on! :)
Yeah your right over 160 species of fish yeah he definitely sucks
Mike, with the fire you have to create unique fishing content, I have no doubts that you will continue to be the most successful fisherman out there! Don't worry about the negativity bud, I've still got your back. Any time you wanna come down to Austin or College Station, just let me know. Always happy to put you on some fish 👍
TylersReelFishing my boy.
TylersReelFishing This is why TRF is my favorite, just an all around great guy, so much respect for this young man.
TylersReelFishing love your vids man.
TylersReelFishing ur so awesome
Gar you say? Hope you're uploading some vids of it I just subbed.
Who’s watching this after he was voted back in the googan squad??

You know it
I guess me, but I didn’t know lol

Nothing tears friends apart like moving in together.
MattHD and business deals... it changes the dynamics ...
Jason Pittman you never truly know some one until you live with them
And until you make money with them.
Making money with them is fine. It's when you add in the business dynamic and decision making related to making money. It's like you can be a coworker with a friend, but when you have to have to go from friend/coworker to supervisor of that person then the dynamic will change. It's similar in business partnerships when decision have to be made. Compromise is not always an option in the context of those relationships and the result is that feelings can get hurt. It's the "I thought u were my friend" or "thought you had my back" complex lol... it sucks.
MattHD exactly what happened to me and my group of friends. I'm still friends with all of them but, a few of them no longer can be in the same room. Good for you Mike.. I would've done the same thing. Family first!
Who is watching This on 2019

I can’t imagine how stupid he feels looking back at this
@@SgtSlime365 I can't imagine how stupid you sound....... at least he had the sportsmanship,heart, and soul to come clean on film heart to hearts, didn't discredit no one,gave them all full credit (except flair) for how skilled they are
Good Job mike, recently started watching your videos and have really enjoined binge watching them. Takes a real man to put your family first, I can tell you love to fish for the love of it and not necessarily the money and you love your family, to me that puts you leagues above the rest. Keep up the good work!
Honestly Mike, I think you kinda-sorta dodged the bullet on that one.
UA-cam is the most successful media venture in modern history not because it follows the traditional formula of legacy media (wherein consumer and creator interact with one another through a commercial intermediary) but because it has created an entirely new dynamic. Creators, for the most part, interact directly with their audience, and are therefore not beholden to agendas, constraints, or financial obligations.
So, whilst the rest of the guys are most likely making a sound financial decision short-term, they might (and I stress this, might) be sacrificing the very thing that allowed their channels to prosper in the first place; unabridged creative freedom.
1Rod has more subscribers than any member of the googan squad. Sounds like they are butthurt because they didn't get 1robs sub base, so MTB downsized the contract. I bet this whole thing backfires and they lose subs lol.
If you listened to anything he said, He said they were upset he backed out of the contract at the last minute. It was Mike's decision to not be part of the group because he felt that he could not fully commit. They are all still friends and will still collab in the near future.
Joshua Lopez And that in backing out, the deal wouldn't be as good for the other 4.
The other members did their own video explaining the situation. That one and this one explains it. Both groups said the same thing. There's no hard feelings (as far as what both parties are presenting" and do have plans to collab together again.
001fishman u can tell he held back at some points of he's conversation and if he felt like he work hard to get to where he is now to maybe lose or risk he's future for jonb,flair, apbassin no way.
He likely held back because he doesn't want to discuss details of the contracts or spoil future plans for the other guys content.
his lawyer businessman friend is catfish and carp
He has a good one if true
Scott Martin is one of best anglers in the country... that's all he uses on soft plastics is googan baits lol
Lamar Oishi for real
WELCOME BACK TO THE GOOGAN SQUAD 💥💥💥💥
litterly the most gentleman way you could ever do a video like this, respect
alex Thompson are you my brother
#give1rod1morechance
Get this to number one comment to get the googan squad to let him back in
Ethan Lassen he doesn't need them. Besides he made the best decision he could for himself. Why can't you respect that?
They didn't kick him out he left by his own decision. It was fully up to him and he chose to leave due to the circumstances.
Ethan Lassen lets get it
And you just know it was 1rod's girlfriend that ruined it for him.
1 rod ur the man.. mad respect for pulling out of the squad. It isnt easy to just get Up And leave.... always enjoyed watching your videos of u getting loud and excited of hookn toad bass that's the greatest feeling hands down I do the same fresh or salt water fishing and people look at me like I'm crazy haha lol and ya it's rough to just go especially being in a relationship that long ... just know as good as you fish and as much support you have world wide good things are coming your way Bruddah ... keep posting and keep casting my friend good things are coming for ya
Little did we know he would be back on the googan squad this day
Signing that contract is like signing your life away. Glad you made the right choice!
The greed and jealousy is starting to get to their heads.. Im glad you left. Fuck em, fuck em, fuck em
KidProfitz , Yeah , the sale out has began
The Googan Squad is now "the SELLOUT squad". No Googan's without Mike.
I hope the googans will still colab with mike, he's a good guy and I'm gonna miss those vids if they don't
Andrew55 I'm pretty sure he will because they all work with MTB and will definitely be at Icast and the bassmaster classic. There might be a few trips with blacktiph or Scott Martin too
I had to make a similar decision in business. I found out who my real friends were. It wasn’t easy but I found new business partners who resonated with my passion for life.. keep em hooked bro. Love your vids🙏🏽
watching 2019???🤔🤔😂😂
FlickzFN Who’s watching in July 2019??
Me
Ye ye
me
His lisp is so bad here
sometimes the best deal you make is the one you didnt....
Robert Cockey best advice ever!!
glbtf1 whats up!
Honestly the FAZE and OG house collabs lost their appeal very quickly to me and everyone's content got watered down because of it. I know the remaining Googan's have tried assuring us that all of their vids aren't going to be the same as each other's but I highly doubt they'll be able to keep that promise. Their vids have been basically the same recently already and they haven't even been living together yet. I feel like going solo will be better in the long run. Having the independence to do what you want, when you want, how you want, instead of being tied down due to contractual obligations actually gives you more opportunity for unique content than the Googan sQuad.
Cody Odom ya there goose hunting trip was literally the same thing on each channel except 1 rod wasint there
Cody Odom yeah their content is gettin watered down, saw lunkers video on my subscriptions, and was like, fk not interesting no more, i like them doing their own stuff with some colabs
Tough choices mate, wish everyone the best ! and many opportunities for you in the future i'm sure of it.
2019 1m subscribers props to you much deserved brother.
You can be part of my salty squad
Eyy landshark
Landshark Fishing, me too?
Landshark Fishing Mike is in Florida and your in Florida... the plot thickens
That is nice
TJ Rivera and let's be real Florida fishing is better than Texas fishing lol
Let the hate begin
Always supporting you Mike
Rod SV he doesn't give a shit
Jrowe56 ok
QC BASSIN fort okay Hahahaha
I loved watching the vids with you and the googan squad, and it would bring me a lot of joy to see you guys reunite, but family comes first. It was very brave if you to go your separate ways. Best of luck to you and keep cranking those 10 pounders🙂
Dang OneRod. You were the dude who got me into bass fishing and I'ma be subbed and watch every video you ever make as long as your makin content because the FIRE you lit under my butt to go catch bass is unreal.
A contract shouldn't separate them, mike pretty much started the UA-cam fishing trend and helped them grow to the channels they are today, not hating on the other guys though.
Horkatosh Lord of Horkers actually flukemaster blazed the trail for all of these channels
He's also the most boring
Cole McCandless You spelled most informative wrong bro.
Danny Burris Just saying his content gets old real quick. There's a reason everyone passed him in subs
Cole McCandless different audiences I guess. I have a far greater appreciation for fluke's content than anything the googans are putting out. Jon B is the exception of course.
Mike at the end of everyone's life no one says I wish I would have made more money. They wish for more time with the ones they love. You made the right choice man. You don't want what you love to do end up being an unbearable chore. Keep making videos and have fun homie I'll keep watching as always bro!
That's deep
Seth Fishalot deeper than atlantis
Cash rules everything
FUCK PERIC FOR REMOVING MIKE FROM HIS SUGGEST CHANNEL!
There must something going on we never know, Mike didnt wanna say it all
in another two or three years ... that was a million dollar mistake
CHRIS S multimillion dollar mistake already.
What happened, lol i stopped watching all these fishing UA-camrs, and need to be caught up
Flair is taking over the game now
@@kevinnguyen4814 agreed, I'm kind of lost. I thought there were 6 googans in the start. Was Flair not a googan? Rackley, 1rod, Jon B, Peric, Lunkers and Flair makes 6 total.
@@BluntSagginz I thought Rackley was the new one in 1Rod replacement? I could be wrong, like i said i dont remember lol
The Googans don’t even watch your videos anymore and comment on them. I wouldn’t say they were ever your friends.
AP is an actual leech to that group what does he provide in terms of either quality or uniqueness to that group. Without Googan squad peric wouldn't even have half of his subs.
Samuel Chhabra yes true
Samuel Chhabra I agree. Peric's sub count definitely would not be where it's at if it hadn't been for Jon and the squad but he definitely brings stuff the table. Wouldn't be a proper squad vid without peric crashing a drone or just screwing something up in some funny kind of way.
Samuel Chhabra AP is more unique than all the other guys, what are you talking about?
More unique... by unique you must mean special , by special I hope you mean special needs. Only way I can see you connecting unique to Peric.
Samuel Chhabra That's what makes peric interesting. Cuz you never know what stupid thing he might do.
Wait, so if Rob isn't living in the crib beacuse he has his own house and wife/kid, why couldn't they let you be part of it and still collab at least?
Braden Nielsen robs house is like 5-10 minutes away from there new house
Braden Nielsen he lives in Texas pretty close to the Googan house
Braden Nielsen rob lives near the googan house so it doesnt affect him
so why didnt they do it in Maryland? Will rob still be in the googan squad? 0.o....tune in for the next episode of Dragon ball z to find out.
because everythings bigger in texas
Glad you are now back in the sqaud and things are much better for you :D!
you've gained like 250K subs this year, nice man, have always enjoyed the videos, keep it up
7 years? Time to pop the question!
Zach Bartlett marriage is pointless.
Hi Sal
You know once he pops the question, kids will come and fishing will be gone lol
KeatonCatlin007 He was messing around bro
is that question anal?
If one good thing came out of this, it's that there will be less Apbassin on your channel. I'm not one to call out other UA-camrs, but that kid represents everything that can go wrong when "entitled" meets "privileged." I know he's your friend, and that's cool, but I just can't watch him anymore, and I skip any video that features him.
Same
Yeah, I can't bear to watch AP or Flair. Watching AP is like watching a Jerry Lewis movie. If I wanna watch a buffoon fish, I'll record my OWN exploits.
123gamerman someone is jealous
Lol. Rich kids, amiright?
kool bro
I have to say, you used to be the life and energy of the googan squad. I’m just glad you are still doing UA-cam!
We're behind you more than ever Mike! I was always a casual observer to your vids, but after hearing everything your subs are saying about you I just sub'd & plan to watch more of your videos! Tough decision, but at the end of the day the most important thing in life are your relationships & family.
you are one of the originals. the best around. #1rod1reelfishing
l3adabing no, no he really isn't 😂 he's like the latest channel to be popular
+Tanner Scanlan 1rod has more subs than any of the other googans, so it that sense he more popular than the rest
Snagalishus Man doesn't mean he's the original by any means, I've been watching john and Andrew for years before anyone knew 1rod, don't get me wrong I love this channel and will continue to learn from it but this comment was dumb
no need to hate.. damn man haha Just trying to show some love. I support all those guys too... Followed lots of fishing youtubers before 1rod as well but to me he took it to a different level. everyone's got their own opinions. lol
*I will always like Mike, I've been here since the beginning of his channel. He always puts up great videos with variety, and his personality is always interesting and funny. Even since he is out of the Googan squad I will always watch him. Mike will always be the greatest fishing UA-camr ever.*
Yes!
Real mates will support each other not hate.
I have so much respect for you man! Keep making great vids you're doing awesome. And thanks for all the fishing tips, you've made to sport more interesting for me
10 minutes summed up into a sentence,
Mike had a life set up in Maryland with a long time girlfriend, and house, and couldn't take years of his life to move to Texas and live like a bachelor. Pretty simple and reasonable. Unlike Rob who already lives in Texas with a wife and kid, it wasn't a big deal to commute to and from the "googan" house.
exactly, he has a house, not sure how he got it but he has one, don't work a 9-5, travels to fish and get paid for UA-cam, what else do you need until this UA-cam fishing shenanigans fade
He got his house by being a former part owner of a gaming company. Not to mention veteran's pay and other sources of legal income that made him legimate money like part ownership in a coffee company as well. His own apparel line that sells out like crazy... So yeah those are just a couple reasons as to why he already had a house in a state he grew up in and met his high school sweetheart in and is about to move into a brand new house as well. Stop hating on people when you have no knowledge of the person and what they have done or been through to get to where they are today. Dunskie.
So you got in the way of them making more money so they are mad. They want money, you want quality of life. I see no issue, family first.
Not true at all. Rob has a family and is perfectly sound with the move. Just because Mike wanted something different does not make any of these guys bad. Stop jumping to conclusions based on assumptions.
Dave Phillips Rob also lives right next the new house. Would probably be different if they were making Rob move across the country
States my statement is untrue based on assumption. However, you supply assumptions and opinions in an effort to validate your beleifs. I will believe it's not about money when they make their videos non monitized.
Dont Worry , your comment was based on assumption. Did they say all they wanted was money...no. Did Mike say all he wanted was quality of life...no. Those are your assumptions, and apparently reading and assimilation are difficult for you. I said, "Rob has a family" which is true. Then I said, "Rob is perfectly sound with the move", move meaning contract...which is also true. Then I said, "Mike wanted something different, does not make any of these guys bad", which is also true. These are not attempts to validate my "beleifs" (seriously, that's how you spell it), those are called observations. Despite your hatred or side picking, I hope they all make money and have a good quality of life. They are not on You Tube to go broke. Geez, just a little common sense...please.
Dave Phillips I am still failing to see your evidence proving my statements false other than your assumptions based on the way you interpret ones statements. I never claimed my statements weren't assumtions, you are the one creating an argument on the Internet over your beliefs. Rather you feel your feelings and view are correct is irrelevant. They are still based on your opinions and assumptions of some facts and articulations.
I have spread no hatred towards anyone. I have a really crazy suggestion for you. If you don't like something you read, Ignore it and move on instead of creating an argument because you beleive you are right in every aspect on the subject matter.
its all good ive heard both sides and no judgement yall are still great anglers keep fishing my friend, you gotta do what is best for you.
I see all these comments saying he missed out on millions,I guess people still dont realize money aint everything 😒
Family over money, its always more rewarding.

Good for you man for sticking up for yourself and thinking of what's best for you and your loved ones. Hope it works out for everyone involved 👊🏻
the NEW Googan Squad is: 1Rod, Reggie, that big kid with the private pond, and that old dude Kim that pretended he didn't know how to fish
sendtorich Don’t forget guest appearances by Nikki and their Dad!

And jon
sendtorich X force
You're truly a stand-up dude. I hope your future is bright. Can't wait to watch more of your vids. New Sub for sure!
Peric took him out of his UA-cam suggested channel list 😂😂
Peric is a child
I enjoyed all the videos without Peric.
One rod and Jon B are the only ones I'm still subscribed to after last month.

It's all about your personal priorities, i admire you for that. cant wait to see your 2017 vids amd what your biggest bass will be.
Thank you Mike for being a class act. That's the kind of guy I always thought you were and you didn't let me down. Stay focused on your own content because we all love it and many of us never would have even heard of the others without seeing your recommended list. Good on ya!!
Mike, you're very welcome to fish with me here in Chicago. Let's make a new squad. Hit me up if you're ever in the area!
WindyCityBassin I live in Texas I'm down to make a new to
Same here Mike. Come on up to Michigan. We can fish anytime.
WindyCityBassin I'm also from the Chicago area, and just subbed because I've fished 5 times this year and haven't caught squat, maybe I can learn something from you since you're also from here.
WindyCityBassin same here Mike - Tennessee
Ill join!!!!!!! Floyd can join in too lol.
I get it Mike, I really do. You're an 26(?) year old man who's been in a relationship for a long time. To jeopardize something like that for the sake of moving 1,000 miles to live with your buddies seems irresponsible and down right immature. If you were in the same situation as the other Googans (young and single) it would make sense to be with them, from both a personal and business perspective. At the end of the day, I'll watch everyone's content and I'm just glad, on the surface at least, there seems to be no bad blood.
Chris Joseph yes exactly! People are bashing the others for leaving but they had nothing really to tie them down so why not? I love all them and their videos and this is a way for them to move forward and perhaps do better for themselves and so can 1Rod! I wish them all the best and hope they all do well!
Chris Joseph wrong, lunkerstv has a wife and kid
peyton leaptrot This is true, but Rob isn't living in the house obviously. They purposely moved to the DFW area so Rob didn't have to move. Mike's choice, from the way he described it, came after he realized that being with his girlfriend and maybe future wife was more important than living with the Googan Squad a 1,000 miles away. A mature and responsible move on his part. Family > pleasing a bunch of 13 year olds on the internet.
Honestly, I only ever realized that 1Rod1Reel was ever in the Googan Squad recently. I always "knew" about the Googans but I've only ever been subbed to 1Rod & Jon. Jon's editing and charm, 1Rod's genuine nature and attitude and love to encourage and teach other's to fish really have you two tied as my top favorite fishing channels. I'd never hold ill will towards either of them for deciding to take different paths in life. I sincerely hope no one else would either.
Mike, im so glad you took the high road on this. good for you!!! You did what was best for you and your family. Good things happen to good people.
Ive literally never clicked on a video this fast before.
Bucks Bass Fishing same
Kansas Bass Fishing I was waiting for this video him talking about it to come out.
Mike, I never comment on videos, and I doubt you'll even see this, but I want you to know that I think this video is pure class on your part. Your videos brighten my day every time you upload. Do your thing, man! Much love and respect to you.
@Sun Cease youre a loser
@Zachary Walter yeah he was respectful in the video but if you read comments he hears every comment bashing the googan squad cuz hes a two-faced punk
I will say you have a great personality and an amazing energy emitting from you while you guys are together and out on the water
Who's here after the kidnapping video!!!
And we wanna know the truth about why 1Rod1Red is BACK on the Googan Squad!!!
probably because he has a house payment and a child now. gotta get that $$$
I rarely comment on videos, and I could care less about this bullshit UA-cam drama that seems to be common now between the fishing youtubers. However, I can tell mike is sincerely upset about not being able to move into the googan house. I can also understand his reasons. I'm 27 with a serious gf that I plan to marry and she has a great job. It would be unfair for me to ask her to up and move or just leave her to go make collaboration videos. Also, Jon, flair and ap are kids. They are able to make this move and good for them. I'm glad they are taking opportunities and running with them. But I feel if you asked rob to move across the country things might be a bit different. Maybe it's just a coincidence that the googan house is close to rob. Keep doing your thing mike.
Dustin Jennette when you really brake it down and look at it. I think that it is all about Rob, he is the business part of the squad. I really think that the others pretty much do whatever he says and you can see that all their videos have changed to what he wanted to do. They are just rich and youtube famous
Ted, not true at all, but those are mere assumptions you're making with no factual bases. UA-camrs can not be famous without subs. These guys have worked hard to get what they have and probably deserve it, but your jealousy is quite apparent.
Leon Koppeschaar my support is with my family. UA-cam is just entertainment, and not to be take to the state of mind you're in drama queen. I watch all of them an enjoy watching all of them...no sides...nobodies picking teams here. They are old enough to make their own decisions and don't need mine or your approvals. They have all said what happened and no one has any resentment towards anyone. Just enjoy the vidja's and shut up.
Leading off of your point about Jon, ap, and flair being kids, in my opinion and my thought is they moved to Texas because yes they're kids and lunkers can be a part of it while still being around his wife and kids. I think it was just a loss for one of the members. If they would've gone to where mike lives, I think rob would not be able to make it. That's just my opinion. I think mike made a smart move
You can tell how hard it was to make this vid
Tyler Yaakub yes This one hurt a little for him I think to
hey mike, big fan. i never knew who the rest of the googan squad was until i started watching your channel. i still check your channel everyday for new video, your doing great keep it up!
I love your channel, You were the very first fishing youtuber that I started to watch and now I'm "hooked"

Watching 1rod not in his happy voice while explaining why he wasn't in the Googan Squad anymore, definitely mad me feel pretty sad. I hope there isn't to much beef and yall at least do collaborations in the future.
This is like one of those "why I left FaZe videos"
Been subbed since under 10k now almost 500k. Always been my fav fishing channel
Amazing to see the decisions you make in life, how they extrapolate over the years and how they play out
MIKEEEEEE!!!! Stay strong bro I hope that you'll continue to do your best! Also glad you didn't sign the contract! I support you 110%.
Been here since 5,000 subs
Carson Steffens x
Same! I still love Mikes channel no matter what!
Carson Steffens I was here since under 30k can't remember the exact number tho lo
NBbassin i was at 12 k
This is very good, the ending reminded me of like the end of a tv series, very well done but very sad too. To be honest I've always like you more on other people's channels as I felt your real character came out more, like you were more you when you weren't behind the camera, or you are just able to put on one hell of a show when in front of other people's cameras. I hope you all realize its all love and collab a lot this coming year and so on.
mike, family comes first even if emily is your gf. you have gained so much respect from me. if i could sub twice i would :) you will be great still.
challenge: googans vs 1rod
hey man, it's a hard choice, they don't blame you for it. I still like watching your videos. keep it up man.
1.2 million subs ... miss you on the squad but glad all worked out for you and boy do we enjoy your videos.
Dude I have so much respect towards you. Smart thinking on your part. Show what kind of a person you are. You think about what your decision impact has on your family. Smart! I like Ap, Jon and lunkers channels. But yours has always been my favorite. You keep it simple and you don't talk to much about every little thing in your vids. Smart move bro and keep up the vids. Big things will come your way.
I only watch Relatable UA-cam FisherMen 1.DallmyD 2. 1Rod 3. LakeforkGuy and 4. TylersReelFishing.....Who are these Googan people!??
RunningALL 48 watch bamabass. I really don't watch any of these googans anymore. Content started to drift off after a while
RunningALL 48 sbfishing is a good one hes starting to get more subs to. good fisgerman with alot of good fishing vids
Well made video, this may be one of your best and most engaging speeches you've posted on this channel, nice job!
Stars Fan yup
Love the channel and the hilarious RL situations. I laugh alot during your vids. Props bro. :) Life is tough, but you'll survive. Keep on fishing. :)
This is how you do a "drama" video like this,respectfull and clean,well done👏
Big ups man. Relationships, family, and quality of life are just as important as money.
Mad respect for you bro. As much as I would love to have a UA-cam fishing channel I would be afraid of it taking away what I love most about fishing. Their is business and then their is fishing, I go fishing to get away from business and all the other things in life that wear you out. Once you mix business with fishing it no longer would be fun in my opinion. God speed!
Great way to explain the situation. You are the only one handling this in a respectable way. Too bad it couldn't work out for all of you. Best of luck for 2017 man.
Mike, I am a middle-aged man who had given up on fishing, thinking that the local places were all fished out. I watched a video of you fishing in Columbia and Ellicott City where I spent my college years and man I was hooked! I watched all your videos and still do,. I bought new equipment, a float tube, and kayaks for my wife and I because of the spark you started! I have watched the videos of the rest of the Googan Squad and have not found them as interesting and exciting as your channel. Thank you for your time and effort putting out your vids, I look forward to each one!
Solid job, Mike. No trash talk, no drama, just respect and transparency. Look forward to watching your videos as you enter this new part of your journey. Sidenote: You should marry that girl...7 years is a long time bro.
Mike, that's a tough decision man. Business is tough, always respect each other's perspectives, personal and business decisions.... Respect my friend... still a huge fan! 👊
G’day mate.....WOW! Fast forward to June 2019 and I reckon I’m still definitely missing the Googan Squag! I truly miss watching the freaking hilarious videos and content you all uploaded to UA-cam. You all had such great fishing content and made me constantly laugh. It obviously sucked when the group separated. However, you need to do what’s in your best interest. The Googan Squad would’ve easily been the biggest fishing channel and in general, one of the largest sports/ action channels on UA-cam. Oh Well...Best of luck mate. I reckon I hope you already put a ring on Emily’s finger mate. She’s definitely a keeper! Cheers from Western Australia.
He did put a ring ☺ and a baby 😂. Mike shows no regrets, family over money. 100% family.
Homeless Lemon 👍 I am definitely glad to hear he’s happily married with a child. Spot on mate. Thanks for the update. Greatly appreciated. Cheers.......
Much respect buddy. I am a big fan of Googan Squad. You are definitely missed. Keep doing what you do. Chase your dreams. Tight lines buddy.
You're welcome anytime Ninja
