@Bassmaster, ty for sharing the entirety of this. If you’ve ever been close to this man’s shoes ….. you know how magnificent this entire moment was. Every word. Biggest bass of the tournament & of this man’s life…on the biggest stage to date. This was an epic clip. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats Garmin, nice fish

[@MichaelJones-rn2pq]

I thought maybe he caught it while fishing but I see he has a live scope.

[@inaslump]

That comment shows your IQ..He took a cast,he worked the bait,the fish bit,he reeled it in & had to hand land it...Sounds like fishing to me..

[@LukePitney1991]

Lifelong bass angler here. Tourney angler as well. Live sonar really killed it for me. Just not enjoyable fishing with or against guys using it. I even sold my boat. I’ve never missed a classic either but no plan on tuning in this year. Sorry @bassmaster but you’ve got to come up with a limit to these electronics or I think you’re going to start seeing a decline in viewers/readers.

The "Lord" is only thanked, never cursed. When things go well it's obvious that the "Lord" had everything to do with it, but when things don't go well, the "Lord" isn't anywhere to be found. That selfish, shady son of a bitch. Wants all the glory and none of the blame. Shifty character. Can't trust him.

How many fish over 5 lbs where weighted in during the tournament?

[@jawjerker26]

They showed the lake map on live, it had marks for every fish caught over 6lbs and there were too many for me to count. Lets just say its alot lol

[@sliderman6899]

That fish was foul hooked.

[@txhuntsman]

It was hooked on the bottom corner of the mouth. Not foul hooked.

[@jrpadgett7441]

Even if it was found hooked, most states and tournaments allow it unless he was bed fishing.

There is only one fish brought to weigh in by any single angler per day. BASS follows the rules put in place by the state. By the looks of it, this lake is pretty healthy and managed well lol

Newest way to let the world know you are an ignorant clown, post what you just said.

[@dannyyork1142]

Was that bass hooked in mouth??????? It looked foul hooked, on bottom behind her bottom lipp. Is that legal???? I like Justin think he's great young fishermen. But just saying.

[@BassmasterOfficial]

At the 1:05 mark you can pause it and see one of the jerkbait hooks in the corner of the mouth. Most jerkbait fish in general will get a hook or two elsewhere even when a fish bites it.

[@dannyyork1142]

Well just skeptical, because numerous bass where not hooked in mouth. Tyler Rivert hooked big one I'm forehead. He even said it on video. You all going have address foul hooked bass using spot lighting technique known as ffs.

[@bassfischer4273]

Great fish but with ffs it's little more than an arcade game today.

[@Stingray-we7kk]

I thought an 11 pounder would fight a little more, pretty boring catch, I thought it was dead when it came up to the boat.

[@STONERCREEK1]

Go-ahead and let me have it....but its not a sport that interests me anymore thanks to interactive video games on board and pulling fish off of the nest. And no I'm not jealous, and, yes I can afford one. I guess I'd just rather spend the money on upgrades for my ZO6 or 458.

Spot lighting fish, ain't fishing, period. It's video gaming, just is. I can garentee, if they let them use it in pratice, and not during torney days, maybe 1 or 2, would broke centry mark. Look at points standings.... wheres hackney, cherry, ike, cox, Christie, etc. Down at bottom. Your gonna tell me, all these young kids are better fishermen, if you do yiur drinking to much! 19 year okd kid catches 34 pounds each day for 134 and change????? Done canceled my subscription to bassmaster, and not watching no more, just a joke, IT'S NOT FISHING ITS VIDEO GAMMING. And bassmaster is ruining a great sport, cause money involved. These older guys need stand up bassmaster, and say stop the spot liggting on torney days, or where done!!!!

[@muthafukajones1513]

The ignorant brokeys love to show themselves.

[@jameszeman4652]

If you're a pro you shouldn't need live scope. To me it takes away from the talent of knowing what to throw and when to throw it. These guys stare at a screen an watch these bass react to a lure to see if it gets excited or not. In my opinion that's not talent. Take live scope away from professionals. The sport is dying
