[@davidcahan2978]

Great podcast. Enjoyed how Clunn ran with your question, the perfect bass fisherman. He takes your questions and totally different answers but awesome answers! I laughed out loud when he said ‘gets run over by buffaloes!’ Tyler is a big ball of fun! Today watched as he poured water on his boat’s deck to keep his feet from burning! Then promptly sat on it!! Obviously made another top 20 today (top 10). He’s going to be a lot of fun to follow.

[@kennyc84-3]

Man…..that “No” from Clunn sent chills through me. He is so calculated and straightforward. Awesome show as always Dave!

[@andywilliamson7846]

I think what he said, at 37:51 rather quickly, was "I don't know".

[@scottrobbins2120]

Dave - forget KVD and Rick, you need to get John Cox and Tyler together on the podcast. Set it up like a Jerry Springer (RIP) show and reveal that Cox is Tyler's father. Great show!

[@basscat2107]

Rick has not gotten over the fact of 2019. I respect the shit out of that. Which means absolutely nothing. True legend. Wish more of them were in this world.

[@Markisuncfan]

Tyler was camping behind me at the Kerr Lake Open. He was the nicest, most humble young man I have met in a long time. I hope he goes very far.

[@Scrub_Zero]

Rick speaks in pure poetry. Love this guy.

[@factsoffishing]

Totally agree 👍

[@RealMitchRapp]

Another banger, David! In short, I think what Rick was trying to say about a collaboration was… It just wouldn’t be genuine enough to fit his personality and station in life. I really like how you just let him talk and get it out the way he wanted to and for the most part, he did

[@davidhawkins6776]

Man, you cant help but cheer for tyler. Such a genuine and down to earth young man.

[@shaneellwein445]

Dave, been eagerly awaiting the main event all year. This guy is definetly living his best life!!!!! I hope he is on the elites a long time cuz I wanna see how it plays out with this guy,,,, pure gold!

[@grantschimek6506]

Another great one Mr. Mercer! The great Clunn speaks everyone should listen! Keep em comin bud!

[@andypawlik7441]

U have to get Cox and Tyler on together!! Great show as always.

[@joshwollman7327]

Tyler was such a breath of fresh air. His true love of fishing and simple outlook on it and tournaments is a much needed attitude these days .

[@phigamko]

I love Clunn’s perspective on livescope. He wouldn’t feel right fishing a tour without it knowing a high schooler with it could beat him. It’s like an athlete who wants to beat the best when their opponent is at full strength.

[@rickmoore2854]

“Mr. Mercer”…your podcast never fails to amaze…both guests were great again! Your interviews have allowed us to get to know Clunn better than a lot that has been published before.

[@jordanwooldridge7784]

Tyler is such a good kid, he was a member of my small Maine club for years, and been a hammer for years not the guy you wanted to see rolling up to any local tourney.

[@chapppy3782]

I'd like to see RC go slap some sense into some of the Elite series FFS hating crybabies, I hope he wins one on FFS!

[@williamknight5142]

Me too!

[@christiecoopersellshouses5738]

Rick Clunn is just amazing for our sport! Thank you Mercer for another great episode!

[@andywilliamson7846]

Great show again, Dave. Don't worry, there is another total solar eclipse coming in 2 years, though not viewable in North America. However, the next one for North America is only about 9 years from now....we'll still be around. Take care!

[@joshwollman7327]

Unbelievable ❤Man the world 🌎 needed Ricks knowledge and out look on life and nature sooner . Just a blessing to listen to him. Rockies are the future , this young angler is a future 🏆 champion. Cheers from B.C Mercer

[@markeustice618]

Always awesome Dave. Tyler is a weird but supper nice guy and talented. Clunn never lets us down. Blew me away when he said he would have to think about cohosting on the show. Thanks Dave

[@SuperToehead]

Rick Clunn bringing the heat!!!

[@F.Ronnie]

Tyler is a good kid with a great work ethic. Thanks Dave. Another great episode!!

[@bryanfranks6327]

Great show Dave, always great to get a few bits from the mind of Rick Clunn. From watching the show I think you are right about Tyler being the John Cox/ Kenny Powers of the bass world. I hope he keeps catching them on his jig.

[@jimbaumgardner1436]

Good one Dave. Rick is always great to listen to. Also it was nice getting to know Tyler. Best of luck to him

[@wiscocoaltrain1955]

Let's get this party started!👏

[@donkswampey3874]

Love seeing some New England anglers finally! We can fish too! Dude canoes are so useless. Every person I know who fishes has sunk or flipped a Canoe. I flipped one with my dad when I was 10 years old and lost my brand new rod and an old school tacklebox full of random baits. Never been in one since lol.

[@bassinRN]

The Northeast is rooting hard for top ten Tyler, “The Maine Event”🔨🔨

[@factsoffishing]

Tyler is having a great rookie season

[@jeffreyyoung8605]

Great show as always Dave!!

[@jeffers0420]

I'm calling it now, Rick Clunn wins St Johns.............scoping

[@HawgWyldFishing]

20:16 Thank you Rick Clunn!!

[@rickmorgan6514]

Tyler is definitely John Cox long lost son! What a great kid.

[@everythingoutdoors-vl9bl]

Wow I really wasn’t expecting Rick’s answer about doing an episode with kevin van damn … very interesting

[@badzr2]

Throwing that Jig brings people together

[@caskdrumcraft]

There's less and less places for one to get a bit of wisdom these days. This show helps full that void. Thanks you two.

[@daniel_fogle_fishing]

What happened to asking the new guest question of the last guest?

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Gary and Wyatt 😁 yes loved weird science Kelly lebrock 😍 anyway lol loved listening to the legend MR clunn every month did randy know he was in the boat with greatness ?? Keep it rolling Dave 👊

[@kevingonyea]

Tyler is a very nice young man and an outstanding young angler. I had the pleasure of being his co angler at Kerr lake last year, he is a dangerous man with a jig.

[@michaellamb1342]

My local radio station (which we were right in totality) played the Beatles “here comes the sun” during that 4 minutes. I thought that was funny.

[@NickStone-bx8jo]

Another good one 👍

[@muskybites505]

Dave, your positive note at the end was noted! The way out of the bad crap happening all over is to just be kinder and a little more empathetic.

[@user-vl2kf2ex9n]

Let me tell ya something Rick is always cool to have on the show but Tyler IS the real deal. The way he fished Watts Bar one of my home lakes was textbook. I wouldn't wanna compete against him cause he'll hand you your ass with a smile I'll guarantee you that. MAINE EVENT- RESPECT👍

[@bobbycolson1957]

Main event and the main man

[@edwardcowan7012]

Tyler you should go 84 to 81 until you get south of DC any time you go south.

[@williamknight5142]

Good show 👍👍👍👍👍

[@chapppy3782]

@factsoffishing B.A.S.S. Cribs edition needs to happen, show us how these guys live on the road! Minus Tylers ghosts...

[@grantloiler4571]

👍

[@briane.mcguire197]

Wow not only did it go LEFT, it dropped bigtime, and your face was so lost for words your mind didn't know what to say,were you having any thoughts that you coulnt say ? Rick is amazing like you say but that was wierd reply too any thong you have ever asked him or anybody else lol. Tyler is my pick to win in fl. This week injoyed him live on cam. Last yrs opens bass did. He is fun too watch and hear him talking on live. Need to mike the marshall and camera guys too they ask the fisherman something to get them to talk and keep talking while its live but you cant tell sometimes what was daid, make it more interesting BASS. Lol

[@williamdeel377]

Far from luck there been many good anglers over the years but they have only been a few great ones!!!

[@williamdeel377]

A men tournaments are good and bad. They are way more benefits to having tournaments especially when u can get everyone around involved

[@JoeGerossie]

Definitely put the awkward in the awkwardly honest podcast!

[@davidrobrobbins7816]

RICO.

[@markedwards6106]

Tyler is great if zjohn Cox and Steve Kennedy had a baby😳😳🤷‍♂️

[@factsoffishing]

He is a good kid with a great future

[@jakeyjakey4018]

This Rick Clunn guy is ridiculous😂 whats up with sunglasses inside? and that hat? dude looks ridiculous

[@factsoffishing]

You have yet to post 1 positive comment on my channel. Why so bitter ?

[@andywilliamson7846]

Rick recently had cataract surgery and is just protecting his eyes.

[@natcoman]

Dave, will you buy Clunn a microphone and hire a real audio engineer? Also, a little push back would be more awkwardly honest. For instance, Clunn says it's elitist to poo poo ffs? An "isn't it elitist to promote ffs?" would have been awesome.

[@lfcskater]

What an awkward guy

[@AaronSmith-wx6hq]

Rick Clunn is full of crap.

[@factsoffishing]

That’s a foolish comment. I understand if you done agree with him but to say that is just silly

[@AaronSmith-wx6hq]

@@factsoffishing silly, but not foolish.

[@oldguyrulesweyerman6955]

I gopebyou read this and pass it on to #RickClunn , or take it to the source. If you want to find a sunken boat contact Adventures With A Purpose. Great group of guy's on utube that find missing persons in any body of water be it a lake or a river. Good luck finding it.

[@oldguyrulesweyerman6955]

Hope you read 😢 😂😅😂

[@factsoffishing]

I will definitely pass it along. Thanks for watching
