@@Irishfishingtours thank you!!! 💪
So true I absolutely love the series!!
@@cbrewis thank your Chris!
The true test of a champion, more so of a man, is the choices one makes in the face of adversity. You are a testament to this and you make the world a better place for it. Still loving this series and I know it is an elite group, but I may have become your biggest fan. Cannot wait for the next episode.
Wow thank you Tony!!!
Mike, you are such a strong human being. A huge respect to you. Never Give Up!
💪 thank you Alex! Never Give Up!!
Ike thanks for signing my brothers hat at Santee. He was the guy with the bad leg. You’re a class act!
Yo Max! Anytime man!!
Having that spouse that isn't on board. That hits home real hard right now.
Try to bring her into fishing... maybe connect with her or at least have a conversation about why fishing is important to you and see if you can find an understanding
It’s so amazing now when I watch your videos and also reading your book and see I’m not alone with the crazy thing in life when You trying to achieve something and There is so many doors closing in the way to that achievement but everything falls in place at the end!! Thank you Mike for sharing the ups and downs and never given up 🙏🏻

😏
Man, gotta wait a whole week for the next one!? Awesome story, Mike. I've been a fan as long as I can remember and this is very enlightening to see how it all started and progressed to today.
Hey Les Thank you! New episodes come out every Tuesday at noon
Hey Mike as a pass member of bass fever Excaliburs we all new you were going to go and do big things regarding the sport of bass fishing at that time the sport kinda was not moving as it should have I’ll call it growing pains and when you decide to be your self and scream and fist bomb with every fish you were a breath of fresh air to the sport I hope the sport acknowledges you for pushing the bass fishing industry ahead and you were responsible for a whole new group of younger people to view fishing as a sport that had a lot of skill involved and tactical thinking and not being viewed as just a southern sport “aw shucks it shook me hook “ also you were to kind regarding the competition that planned ahead of time to sabotage your finish especially the last tournament on the big D and pulled the rug out from you for the Mr Bass title that year but you were gracious and took it better than most men would have no one has the rite too take anyones key and deliberately make you late I know you wouldn’t ever say anything to disparage anyone else so I said it for you the whole time we fished as team members someone somewhere tried to under mine your fishing they couldn’t get over the the fact that you started fishing the Federation and out fishing them but what they didn’t see your work ethic and determination to fish at the higher level you being on the water in sun freezing temperatures etc and I remember the lake Champlain tournament you edge out Rick Clunn you were using a clown colored bait and fishing around a lot of tires !! LoL ok my friend hope one of these days to see you and catch up on old times just had to set the record straight on I couple of misdeeds of a few only a few !
So cool, I remember it all like it was yesterday.
Thank you Ed!! So true!
Love your story of your life mr.Mike , thank you too
Thank you Spooky!!!!

Mike , I’m really enjoying this series! Long time fan from eastern Pa, I have to know though, do you still feel your were wronged in the disqualification of that day? Do you still believe you were in the right ? Good luck this year ! Hammer them !!
It has to be viewed as a right of passage I had to be put to the test in many ways to realize the next step. All part of the journey
Cuzzzie you the best !
Giorgio!!! 💪
This series is so good! I have always loved the "Never give up" part of your message - but your videos really bring that whole thing to a new light. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next one!

There has been a lot of changes to this sport from then till now but one thing that has changed in the professional level is sportsmen ship compared to what it use to be
#truth
Damn!! This series is sick
Thank you Trigger!!!!
A DEAD giveaway you are from Jersey is how you say wutter. God bless man!!!!

To sum it up pretty much you were the Happy Gilmore of fishing. Hopefully you've seen that movie
Hahaha!!!

Loving it. Now I’m gonna go catch my pb on a jig👊🏻
Heck yeah!!!! Never Give Up!!!!!!
Dang you are an inspiration man, another great video!
Yo Paul!!! Thank you Sir!!
Your road certainly wasn’t easy and neither was staying at the highest level. Makes you wonder if getting there was the toughest part or maintaining your success at the top.
#truth wouldn't have it any other way
Thanks for sharing the struggles in your personal life. Sure gave me a new perspective on who you are. Haven’t always been a big fan but I am now.
Thank You Rusty!! Truly appreciate that!!

Ant Beale - Never Give Up 🤟🎶👌
Heck yeah!!
@@mikeiaconellifishing thank you! The documentary is very good and the soundtrack totally matches!!! 💪 Never give up
Just woke up to the sound of the alarm since I'm on 2nd shift. Jumped on UA-cam and the first thing I see is my (Jersey Boy) the new episode. Great way to start the day, and Ike the stripers are showing up here in the Delaware already so Lets Goooooooo. Little striper fishing in the dirty delaware then we'll hit DOD lakes for some buckets. Hey can't say I never invited you lol, and just maybe one of these days my lil boy and I will run into you. Never Give Up.😉👍
Yo Daniel! 💪
@@mikeiaconellifishing it's so damn hard I have to say. All day long as an aircraft technician building military chinook helicopters where my view from the back of our facility is looking across the flight pad through a huge back wall of glass staring at the Delaware River. Watching boats go up and down and in and out just knowing what they're targeting and doing, and I'm here just saying damn boys you're killing me. I'm sure you know where I'm working at as the name is in the roof. Lol
Your the reason I started tournament fishing . Thanks for the inspiration. And all the tips and tricks. And where can I find the song on your series. It's bangin lol
Hey Nate!! The song is Ant Beale Never Give Up it's everywhere iTunes, Spotify, etc
nice
Thanks Ethan !!
Another sick video I am so hyped for our bass fishing season starting in 3 weeks here in 🇨🇦 we still have ice over our water eh can’t wait for the trout and bass season eh tabernac. We will be up to our tits in bass this season eh!!!
Thanks!! Iceout soon!!
What a true inspiration you are Ike. Keep doing what you do.
P.S. where can I buy an Ike Live hat? They look great and would wear with pride.
Thank you Paul!! Truly appreciate it!!
mikeiaconelli.com/shop.php?id=100
@@mikeiaconellifishing just ordered my hat and will be looking for it soon. Hopefully I can snap a pic of a big ol Oklahoma bass while wearing it.
@@paulbighorse7498 heck yeah!!!!!!!! Thank you Paul!!
We want to see you fish a tourney again mike...
Fishing the elites this season!
Was that the Champlain event when you cut holes in your net and that fish fell out of it? I remember watching that when I was like 14.
🤦♂️
Once the full series is out do you think you’d be able to put them together so it’s like a single documentary?
a single doc might be too long considering how many episodes however it is certainly a possibility.
I have so many questions on how you got to that level
Start at episode 1
IKE! I love you! You have to stop with the “YouKnows” I’m a huge fan but it don’t sound good!
Such a horrible feeling when you find out the chemo isn't working anymore
Some people do not have a clue about your sacrifices neither
We all sacrifice for what we love
I lost my uncle as well to stage 4 cancer, absolutely horrible disgusting disease and experience.
💖👍
Thanks Elizabeth
