Brandon Palaniuk Gardening Your GOALS on MERCER-145

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for watching. Hope you guys dig this episode. If you have any goals both on and off the water, listening to Brandon Palaniuk’s mind set will get you closer to making it happen. Please remember to 👍 this video & help me thank Brandon by following his KZbin channel youtube.com/@BmpFishing?si=rNlwJNY81_WN4d7Z

[@jasonreddick6828]

His garden quote reminds me of "Don't waste your time chasing butterflies. Mend your garden and the butterflies will come."

[@factsoffishing]

AMEN that’s a great quote

[@rickmoore2854]

Brandon has always been a favorite…many good time with him in his boat. His support of the other guys as they win and compete…is solid!! Says so much about him.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Rick, You are 100% correct the way he supports the rest of the anglers is incredible & it definitely teaches you a lot about the kind of person he is

[@BmpFishing]

We’ve had some great days in the boat! Hopefully we get a few more.

[@CodeEli1]

Thanks Dave & Brandon…excellent interview…👏👏👏 And the story Jesus is telling with your lives…is one I believe has and will continue to change many lives for the good…👏👏👏 Les…Edgewater, FL Edgewater, FL

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks so much. It’s great to hear this episode spoke to you. We are both very lucky to live the lives we do.

[@d-rocky615]

Good job Dave and Brandon! I’m glad that the “negative talk” in the fishing world was addressed. I got sucked into it on social media, but I now refuse to watch (click) their crap anymore. I always enjoy listening to Brandon.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks very much, We all get pulled into the negative crap from time to time myself included. I guess those are the times we all have to weed the garden. 👍

[@ronchambers2085]

Gordonville,Texas….2 of my favorite guys Dave & Brandon

[@factsoffishing]

Ahhh thanks so much Ron, I truly do appreciate your support

[@chrisroerdink4911]

Listening from Hingham, Wisconsin. Loved this episode, Brandon is a great guy, I got to meet him at LaCrosse in 2018, hoping to get to another event soon! Today's episode came at a good time for me; it was a rough morning of work and put this on after my lunch break and going to work on getting rid of those weeds I may have started to let grow this morning! Look forward to next week's!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for watching Chris, Glad you got out to an Elite Series event & hope to see you at another one in the future. It’s awesome to hear that this show got to you at the right time. We all can learn from some of the topics Brandon talked about. Life is too short to live surrounded by weeds

[@davidcahan2978]

From East Palatka, FL…Your podcasts are awesome probably because can tell you really enjoy your time with the guests & they too enjoy you! The Prodigy has an unlimited future with BASS & fishing industry. He has an immaculate kept garden!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks David, You are 100% correct I do love these conversations

[@patricksharp6292]

Started in my SUV - Elizabethtown , KY finished at my desk in Chickamauga TN. Great conversation Dave thanks for doing this weekly.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for taking the time to watch every week Patrick.

[@TheGlenngodfrey]

Always a great show Dave. BP was a great guest and the conversation took some good turns!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks very much. I appreciate you watching and I am glad you enjoyed this episode. It was definitely one of my favourites

[@tomruth3258]

So many great minds, great anglers and great people. Drives the fire to fish!!!

[@factsoffishing]

You got that right!

[@SebastianSiebiedzinski]

Dave , you said there is many podcasts around. There is but yours is the best. Nobody is going to beat your show. Good job sir , can’t wait to next one .

[@factsoffishing]

Thank you so much. I truly love doing this show. It’s awesome to hear you enjoy it so much

[@edwardcowan7012]

I’ve been a big fan of Brandon since the day he blew his Bryan Kerchal Fish Whistle at the Classic he qualified for through the Federation. He honored my friend and every club member in every BASS club.

[@factsoffishing]

Hey Ed, That was a very cool moment in Bassmaster classic history. One of many of BPs incredible moments. The world needs more folks like him. Thanks for watching every week Ed 👊🏻

[@edwardcowan7012]

@@factsoffishingI had the honer to meet him and thank him once.

[@tomruth3258]

Dave, you are such a relatable mc. You enjoy the competition, the competitor's, the stories, the people, and its so relatable. You are a true driver of this sport. The conversations, the comraderie (spelling) and the passion for the sport are truly invigorating!!

[@factsoffishing]

Thank you so much Tom, I truly love my job

[@chrismalas8747]

I was a fan of that dude at his first classic and still am he’s awesome watching from Cincinnati Ohio great podcast

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Chris, It’s tough to not cheer for Brandon. I have been a fan of his from the first day I met him. Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment

[@petebrandt7432]

Awesome show as always. BP is who I tell my son to watch and study his ways. BP is a good dude.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for watching Pete, that is very good advice.

[@kimsannes9029]

Great show l live in Seattle and have followed Brandon fishing success. I got to see you live at florida St. Johns elite tournament. You are a top best at what you do.

[@factsoffishing]

Thank you very much Kim, Brandon is truly a wonderful person and a great angler to follow. Thanks for watching & thanks for your overly kind words

[@MattRichardson-u9u]

Brandon is definitely one of the top 5 guys in the sport on and off the water. Thank you for being yourself all the time. Also, thank you Dave for bringing us these great podcasts

[@donnabonning5587]

brandon is pure class and i love the garden deal it is truly the truth.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Donna, He is so wise beyond his years

[@markthomson8075]

Great show again Dave , Brandon’s videos show how intense he is and what a risk taker he is . I have watched specifically his tournament breakdown of st. Clair and the st Lawrence. Risk vs reward is unwavering!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Mark, You got that right Brandon truly has the mind of a champion

[@jacobhoevel4914]

Wisconsin here! OTR DRIVER, so I watch it all over the country every week. Thank you filling part of my week with good conversation.

[@factsoffishing]

Awesome! Thank you! Glad our show helps you pass the time

[@wernernellcopywriter]

I listen in every week from South Africa. Work from home, so I always have some or other podcast playing in the background.

[@factsoffishing]

Holy 💩, That’s incredible to know someone is listening in South Africa. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment

[@Cbartlettbo]

Wise beyond his years. Great show and perspective on the industry. Love BP

[@factsoffishing]

I could not agree more. Very wise dude

[@timfitzgerald1652]

I love that in the zone momentum piece, no explanation for confidence and positive momentum. Not just bass fishing, life general. Good stuff fellas. You’ll need a challenge show where you both show up for $10k on a locals body of water, Florida panhandle tidal water is the first show. Come on!!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Tim, Glad you enjoyed this episode & there is no way I am putting 10 k up against Brandon. He would whoop me and that would be bad momentum for me 😂

[@pjb.customflies]

Listening from Massachusetts Dave! Awesome episode

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for watching. I always enjoy my time in Mass, some great people from that part of the world

[@jasonwhite9946]

Great podcast Dave and Brandon. Both have a great year and be watching and listening from Maryville, Tennessee.

Thanks Jason, we appreciate you following along

[@tymfortoys]

Brandon sure seems like a real stand up guy... Really good attitude. Mr Mercer you sure bring out the good in guys.. Always great conversations...

Thanks very much David, Every episode is different but every guest brings it and I am thankful that they do. Thanks for watching and sharing your kind words.

[@ericshedrock6052]

Well , Im really starting to just expect this quality of a podcast from the King of bass fishing podcasts. I commented on G mans episode about my struggles to stay positive . listening to guys like Brandon talk about staying positive and then making the decision to actually do it , has given me one of the biggest improvements for me tournament fisherman . Its easy to say this but years of not controlling my emotions ( I dont outburst , its all internal voice) ( mostly internal voice well add least 90%-10% )have made it hard to fix lol . Thanks you to you and your team . 🎣💪🏆

[@factsoffishing]

Wow thank you so much Eric, Your kind words truly mean the world to me. I love doing this show but comments like this truly make it so rewarding. Keep making the choice to be happy & positive. I hope we get to meet at some point. If you come to a tournament please introduce yourself to me.

[@BmpFishing]

What you repeatedly tell yourself can easily become your reality. When this negative thoughts creep in stop them, analyze why, and then change perspective. Glad to hear that you’ve been able to recognize it and start to make those thought changes! Keep up the good work.

[@BANFISHINGOKIE]

Enid,Oklahoma 🎣👊 another great show and thank Brandon Palaniuk for your time and also for be a great mindset person that you are between you and Gerald Swindle it helped me out alot these pass few years can't wait for the Classic 😁

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Jim, I agree it’s time for another run at AOY

[@markeustice618]

Brandon never lets me down. The garden analogy was awesome and so true. I’m in the mountains of East Tennessee. Ready for more snow.

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks Mark, I could now agree more he is incredible

[@F.Ronnie]

No way you could have Brandon and Clunn on the same show!!! It would be 4 hours long. Lol. Great guest. Thanks Dave!!

[@factsoffishing]

But it would be 4 hours of awesomeness

[@timkelly633]

London, England. Great show. BP is always worth listening to.

[@factsoffishing]

Wow that’s incredible Tim! Glad to hear you are watching in England

Since you mentioned it Dave. You can never have only one Johnston brother on your show. Always both of them from last week forward. Another great episode with BP. I hear he was a pretty good wrestler back in the day, and wrestlers are just built different...

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks for watching Peter, I agree on the Johnston Bros. BP is a 2 time state champion wrestler. I planned to talk to him about it but we ran out of time.

[@joelarn]

When it comes to positivity or negativity, Brandon said you have the ability to choose how you are going to respond. Reminds me of this quote from Herm Edwards, “Life is a series of inconveniences. The measure of a man is how you respond to those inconveniences.” Probably something that Brandon lives by!

[@FlatbottomFeverFishing]

Great stuff Dave! Always good to hear some positivity and motivation. Also tuning in from northern Alabama.

[@shaneellwein445]

Ok, from Innisfil on Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, and I know you know that body of water. I believe Brandon is a quiet leader, not out spoken but able to back up his words with results in the industry.
