2018 Elite Series: Mississippi River

The Bassmaster Elite Series visited the Mississippi River at La Crosse, Wisc. on June 21-24, 2018

[@BobbyOfEarth]

This entire area along the Minn. and Wisconsin state lines, is an awesome fishery. I'm a Californian but during a business trip, a friend and I managed to sneak in the 1998 Indy 500 race and a canoe trio on the upper Eau Clair river ...it was about as beautiful of a river as I've ever been on and the small mouth kept us plenty busy. A guy could spend a lifetime here and never fish the same water twice.

[@318dmoore]

Sounds awesome! Hope to go to Cali and catch some monsters one day.

Top water is the most famous of all fishing nothing gets that fishing fever like top water action

[@yuriiextreme9919]

Мрія хворого на голову. Мрія мого життя ловити баса, мати такого човна, таке екіпіювання та жити в США. Я з України і теж рибалка-спортсмен. Спостерігаю за вашими турнірами та захоплююсь! Дуже гарно! Молодці. Dream of a patient with a head. The dream of my life is to catch bass, to have such a boat, such equipment and to live in the USA. I am from Ukraine and also a fishing athlete. I watch your tournaments and admire you! Very nice! Well done.

[@kyleUT]

Tharp is more violent with his fish than any other angler I've watched.

[@darrylwilliams7508]

MLF has it right.

Well made episode, +1

[@ForrestOutdoors]

Love it......

[@davidslater6789]

Damn, I miss watching A-mart fish. Dude was a wizard with a spinning rod.

[@dakotatucker7155]

So weird seeing pros fish bodies of water that I fish all the time.

[@AndrewBuss]

Did they win from the spots you thought they would?

[@flikdurbean349]

These guys beat the fuck out of the fish slamming them in the boat and then tossing them around in the livewell until weigh-in. Glad MLF is taking over as they're much more conservation orientated.

[@manifestgtr]

Tharp in particular, man…watching him line drive his fish into the boat every time is just brutal…

[@corndogfishing451]

Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@VanGuard1020]

Nice!!! 👍🏽😎🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@dadaiwaman66]

At 41:22 Did you hear that crack on the Powroznik hookset??? My Goodness!!!

[@Probie4life]

Sounded Like a tree snapped in half!!!

[@manifestgtr]

Oof, I’m not crazy about those line drive boat flips from Tharp, man. Every time he gets a fish, it’s like 😣

[@johorvath42]

Do loud fishing reels bother anyone else? I cant stand that noise when they set the hook and start reeling

[@frossicker]

It’s not the reel. It’s the braided line going through the guides under tension when there’s a fish on the end of the line. Fluorocarbon does the same, just a different sound.

[@johorvath42]

@@frossicker never used braid only fluro and mono. But that makes sense.. so... does it bother you lol

[@scottwolf175]

Yall deleting then reposting ?

[@BassmasterOfficial]

@@scottwolf175 Oh. Sometimes we upload them early (unlisted) before we publicize them. You probably found it in the playlist. No editing here, just spacing out when we let people know about videos so we don't have like 10 go out in a day.

How can I get that hat? Anyone know...

[@aarongauger5594]

Fbyrm

[@CommodeToad]

I don't understand how a guy can get enough time on the water to go pro unless he is living off of someone else.

[@calebb521]

Clay Pollock a lot of em live in they’re trucks and eat damn near nothing when starting off, once they make it then they can live and get sponsers and such

[@TheLichking404]

24:10 is tasty.

[@Twangtown7]

Powrozik needs to learn how to hold a bass. You damage their jaws by holding them horizontally without supporting their body.

[@JayWallenFishing]

[@jett70710]

Nope. Only hurts a big bass thats kicking. Why only Powrozik? Because as long as I can remember, every single bass pro has held bass by the jaw. Since 1968.

[@mikewest712]

These guys don't care, Bass tourneys kill a lot of fish. i don't understand why they dont use nets either, boat flipping fish is a douche thing to do, much like power loading.

[@MLCAgaming]

He needs to learn how to lay down the burgers, dude was out of breath just by getting a fish in the boat

[@calebb521]

JustFishing the fact that you have the audacity to make fun of a guy because he’s big is sad, the guy is a pro and should be respected just like everyone else

[@Twangtown7]

All those youtube advertisements . GTFO

[@bassslayer1186]

Do you really need to be that dramatic Ish?

[@thisfishing6552]

This is stupid i fish the spillway n caught 17lb average for 3 hours. What they need to do it throw swimbait. All day 3,4 n 5 lber

[@Camaroman0710]

Bullshit. It's already on speed dial.
