"This isn't a numbers game" - Tommy Sanders, in reference to Wheeler Little did he know it was about to be for a ton of these guys going to MLF. Lol Too soon? Probably. But I'll still love you, BASS.

I would have been pissed falling in the lake over that guppy!

[@josh.whitehead]

Love the Share Lunker Program

[@stevep5408]

I wish they would have filmed the guy who caught the 10 pounder because every guy who catches a 2 1/2 pounder acts like they caught a bus!

[@elevatedmind1897]

[@bradwessling7709]

[@TimVincent222]

[@ttmbassin4958]

the great all mighty G no

[@jbake5022]

haha 10:12 drew benton hits the dock and falls out of the boat with a fish on.

[@maibhawj]

How come they’re not keeping the fish in the livewell

[@michaelshoffner6584]

i believe that they can only keep one for the actual weigh in activities all others are weighed at the time of catch and released, it is a rule of texas fish and wildlife i believe

[@benploch8540]

@@michaelshoffner6584 they keep fish they think could win big bass, it has nothing to do with Texas Parks and Wildlife

[@StFidjnr]

@@benploch8540 and it's a big prize at that a brand new tundra truck from Toyota

[@BayJoua]

Cliff Pace seem like the type whose over himself.

[@alehax27]

they crank the fish by the bottom jaw way too hard

[@FondelMikeRotch]

AleRicoSuave think some of these guys should be lifted by their own jaw

[@Davo2233]

timwins31 but I’ve never seen a bass’s jaw break. It would be obvious. I think we’ve come a ways since the days of seeing stringers of 100 2 lb bass all dying and being eaten. Although why do bass have more right to life than crappie? I NEVER EVER throw a keeper crappie back if I’m under limit. They all hit grease and my fat ass stomach. We act like a bass is royalty. Why don’t deer hunters hunt with cameras? Let’s start a share a stud program where we let 10 points walk and we just take a pic so they can be eaten by a coyote. Im sure taxidermist could make replica deer mounts. Because deer taste good and by god We wanna shoot something hammer ass DEAD! Bass taste like shit! If they tasted like crappie I’d keep a limit of 2 lb bass every time I caught one as would everyone

[@billyb9067]

Post spawn bass.. they all look skinny..

[@stevenwellman9253]

Hitting peoples docks and getting onto private property, wow what an example to other recreational fishermen. Fishermen have absolutely no respect for others private property, can't count how many lures I've had left on and around my dock and snageed on my boat cover, absolutely bullshit.

[@cobra99ization]

Steven Wellman I missed all the damage it done to that dock where he BARELY bump it!! I mean, where he put his one foot on that dock was just totally destroyed!!! If I had to go through life with your attitude I would go play out in the road and hope I got hit!! Thank you #bassmasters for the great show!!! #blueandgoldisthebest
