[@mccolloutdoors4605]

@BmpFishing I am currently working 60 hour weeks at a factory so I can live my dream of becoming a musky guide on LSC. Gotta work towards that dream. Amazing speech my friend. God bless

[@adamkinnear5462]

I am 16 and I fish every tournament I can including Bass Northern Opens, FLW High School Tournaments, FLW BFLS as a co angler and I just fell in love with fishing at the age of 3 you are my inspiration.

[@richiecook2305]

Congrats on being a two time AOY!!

[@basslayer6933]

I’m a 13 year old from north idaho and met Jeremy I while back. It’s so cool knowing that this is the man that helped Brandon. I fish alpha angler and have made it my goal to put the stupid phone up and fish instead. Fernan, Cda, Hayden lake I don t care as long as I’m fishing. I am good friends with the Piazza’s son and we and like two peas in a pod. I have looked up to you for the longest time, I guess your my idol. Great job this year dude so awesome seeing someone from where i live succeeding in such a huge way. One day I hope to meet you, in a friendly way or in a competition 😂. your are a great example of where hard work gets you in life. WATCH OUT ANGLERS, BRANDON IS COMING FOR AOY AGAIN!!!

[@BmpFishing]

Brady 2017 thanks buddy! No better place than North Idaho!!

[@CBonesey]

Chills.. incredible story and well articulated Brandon. Best of luck in your life and career my man.

[@aaronrowan4884]

Brandon, just wanted to share how much I enjoyed watching your video when you called Bryan Kershal's father about the induction into the Hall of Fame. The fact that you kept his whistle all these years, that cool. I have have a similar situation, my best friend/bass fishing partner died and to say we were very close is a huge understatement. I keep some of his ashes in my boat and eveytime I go fishing a part of him is with me. He died 15 years ago and still today when I hear stories like this it always makes me think of my story. Just wanted to share this with you......

[@mogippa414]

Watched this in 2020. What an inspirational, motivational speech!

[@nukekidd137]

Once again bro you inspire me in so many ways because I came from about the same situation you did and this speech was amazing from you man I have watched it numerous times already. , love to see ya win some more tourneys and get up in the top 12 after cumberland, i still got my fingers crossed to maybe win the sweepstakes you had going I been filling out daily until the 31st. Would love to meet with you one day and be able to shake your hand and remind you that u are inspiring many others as myself to be a better fisher as well ad a person and to have faith and go with your instinct. Keep it up man im supporting you fully, #TeamPauliniuk

Wow, What a great speach. I feel the same when I go out and fish perch or pike in Sweden some times you just know when you will catch them. I have never fished bass but when the world is better I will go to US and fish bass. Thank's for all films.🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@skeeterboy77]

Great speech man...

[@kaydent.3339]

So motivational!

[@hunterk6625]

Great speech!! 😎

[@TackleJunky81]

Well said bro!

[@garylukas3476]

Amazing

[@AShoresfishing]

Honestly the bad thing about Idaho is that some of the best lakes have dirt roads with towns of population of less then 1,000. Anderson Ranch, Brownlee, CJ Strike, Walcott, Milner. The only lakes that get attention are Coeur d’Alene, Pend Oreille, Dworshak. Because they have big cities and a few 10 pounders.

[@BmpFishing]

Those are great fisheries as well but I think day in and day out CDA and PDO are better overall.

[@jameswalker9604]

CONGRATS!! But you didn't mention the pup 🐕LOL

[@BobbyLongFishing]

Brandon, I see you listening to music before blast off every morning. What music do you listen to and do you have a playlist? I like a little “pick me upper” on tournament days.

[@BmpFishing]

Bobby Long Fishing I listen to everything! Just depends on the day. I’ve actually built three different playlists on Spotify that you can follow. Search bmp_fishing on Spotify and scroll down to the playlists.

[@jacoblambert1228]

5 4 3 2 1 I'm going to make the Elites one day. Thanks for mak

[@mariodepiero]

[@anthonyvela6289]
