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 :)

[@1Rod1ReelFishing]

[@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

[@seanmccloskey7873]

23 and married? Damn, homie. I've been with the same woman for 20 years, met at 18 and we didn't get married until 28. Communication is really important and do not forget this: Your pride means nothing in the long term. Good luck in life and wishing you the best.

I turned 20 last week, and I’ve followed your channel ever since I was literally in the 4th grade. You inspired me to create a KZbin channel, and become a better angler. Thank you for all the entertaining videos and content over the years man. Mike you’re truly a fisherman worthy of his title. Take care of yourself 🫵🏾🖤

[@806Anglers]

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. Good luck on your new journey! 🙏🏼

[@barradacuda1671]

During the pandemic, me and my buddy fished so much, that was the time when i really started my giant fishing obsession and hobby. You were one of the top main fishing KZbinrs i watched in my free time that really made fishing my favorite activity, love you man and thank you. Go wherever life takes you 1rod!

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.

Much love and best of luck to you.

you’ll prolly never see this man but i just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. if it wasn’t for you i would’ve never been such a addicted angler. i was about 7 when i stumbled across your channel and watched you religiously until now( i will continue watching btw). i’m now 16 years old and it was a blessing to have you as a role model. thank you Michael
