After 12 Years Creating Fishing Videos... This is the End.

It's been an INCREDIBLE journey on KZbin, I am beyond grateful for each and every one of you who've supported me and my videos :)

[@SaMannequiN2]

You can tell how many people commented based on the title alone 😂. My husband and I have loved your channel since we found you in 2016. 8 years now and you've remained our favorite fishing channel. You got me into fishing and I'll forever be grateful for that. We'll continue to watch you no matter what content you decide to make!

[@chase_savage2150]

I can't wait and i appreciate all that you have done and you helped me become a better angler and i am forever grateful for it

I've been watching your videos for close to 11 years or so, you where the first fishing youtuber I started watching. I learned so much from your videos about bass fishing, and you inspired me to start a KZbin channel about 7 or 8 years ago I may not be as consistent as I'd or have as many subs but I'm still gonna continue to put out content! All I have to say is thanks 1Rod for inspiring me to create my channel and for putting out videos that taught me so much about bass fishing! I'll definitely tune into the new stuff you got coming.

Hi Mike, big fan. About 10 years ago when I was in college I came upon your channel during a time where I had "put down my rods" for school and what not. I just remember getting hooked and super excited watching your videos. You truly are one of the OGs of the chesty go-pro. You inspired me to get back out there and freaking fish man. Much love and best of luck to you.
