Your day will come to win the bass master classic. I hope some day to shake your hand and tell you did it

[@fredt9034]

How can you not like this guy? How can you not respect this guy? And his energy, talent, and positive attitude!!!!

[@bmannichols4157]

I Love to hear Greg Hackney talk about anything, you can learn so much from Outdoorsman like him, I hope he keeps fishing with BASS for a Long time

[@kurtrindgen4708]

That was good, really good.

[@michaeldalby8463]

[@stevefisher2121]

One of the greats for sure!!!!

[@mikeree7375]

Best of the best. Always enjoy watch you fish.

[@gethiggywitit7338]

One of my favorite fishermen. From my home state and loves fishing shallow. Dude is a beast.

[@tulsabassprofessor5009]

Met him at the open in Muskogee Oklahoma on the Arkansas River event and he is awesome!

[@BmpFishing]

Great Stuff!!! Always been a Hack Fan!

[@danielmckeen2465]

Living the dream!!!you can't beat it🤓and Bass fishing ain't easy😞

[@wolfspiritoutdoors158]

Been following hack for several years now and will continue as long as he's fishing. Managed to meet him at Okeechobee during an elite a few years back. Hell of a fisherman and a hell of a great guy. Thanks bass Master.

[@hle3740]

Great story about the king of Star City Arkansas. The kind of man we need in bass fishing today. I was at that Classic in 84 as well

[@thebasswicker6294]

Definitely one of my all time favorites

[@MiguelRodriguez-zv1gz]

I was fortunate to be his Marshall on a tournament. He’s the real deal, a heck of a fisherman with tremendous common sense approach to fishing. He answered every question I asked him. He’s an asset to the sport. I respect him, he’s a class act.

[@jx-gy3od]

You have been my idol in fishing for years brother, especially you growing up on the Arkansas river fishing and being a legend on lake dardanelle which is my home waters. You gave me the confidence of going to my instincts in shallow water and forgetting the electronics. You still give the best of bass fishermen the confidence that tournaments can be won off shallow cover and banks instead of livescope and sonar.

[@dylanlandry6956]

Kinda looks like the guy in my profile picture lol , Louisiana’s finest !!

[@BassmasterOfficial]

Lookie there!

[@BenC-77]

Greg Hackney is a legend and he is a valuable resource for anglers both young and old.

[@brockblack8765]

Love Greg Hackney. Down to earth country boy. Great personality. Probably my first pick to go fishing with out of all anglers. Hack attack is class act.

[@bwspacity]

The man. The most serious comedian I've ever seen. And whacks em

[@Jay-xt2nz]

Always loved Greg!! Learned a lot from him… best jig fisherman in the game!

[@timlawrence7246]

Absolutely a hammer. Always smiling and a great representative of the sport.

[@shanestacy6744]

We could not have a finer fellow with a big heart ♥ of gold too represent our beautiful poor state of Louisiana keep us on our toes fishing your heart and we can't even find one good reason to trade you in for Gerald swindle is my second favorite I watched you Gerald and Skeet battle yalls way into the elite series and to see yall have to go up against KVD and live through the entire event it made yall who yall are today keep up with your passion and I hope to see you hold up the classic trophy soon it would be a awesome opportunity and if you would win it in Louisiana on that jig it would definitely put the icing on the cake I love flipping the biggest cypress trees I can find and you can catch a limit off the same tree looking forward to seeing you next year. 💙

[@thejamnasium6447]

always good to see Hackney. he looks super healthy too. good for him. he's one of the all time greats.

[@carldupre9865]

about 10 years ago I won a contest with LA sportsman mag. it was a chance to fish with Greg for the day... we could never get the dates down because of his road schedule.. but I'm still a fan of his..

[@steventhomas524]

Love stories like these, to give a background on the anglers and what inspired them to be here.

[@zacklee3899]

Y’all should do more of these. Also Hack is the man

[@BassmasterOfficial]

We are. We’ve done Luke Palmer and Brock Mosley. Drew Benton and Gerald Swindle are up next.

[@johnlantz7278]

The love of the outdoors has always been a pleasure watching all the content is great but the feeling when that animal reveals to us that is a great day to live ❤

[@collector_effectors]

Hack is the man. One of the coolest dudes ever to fish. 🎣🎣🎣🙌🙌🙌

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

Your the man Greg.

[@Natureboy1607]

Excellent video Greg ! When you and Rick Clun talk I always stop to list . Thanks for all you do for the sport !

[@jimbones2327]

No cap uncle Hack everything you said was 💯 one of the realist in the game you and uncle Gerald real deal legends

[@rodcashman4793]

Really enjoyed your sharing your life story. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@marchaggar5578]

That’s a bad man right there. Mega Hammer.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video great to hear the stories

[@KarenReed-y8s]

That Bassmaster that Clunn won I believe was in Pine Bluff, Ark. IDK if Hackney was from PB or Rison.

[@BassmasterOfficial]

Star City

[@KarenReed-y8s]

Close !@@BassmasterOfficial

[@lawbrewer]

My all time favorite fisherman . Your the man.

[@MichaelStDare]

My favorite bar none

[@jamesmurphy1040]

Hackney is the all around outdoorsman!

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@jones1394]

Best advice I have ever Heard. You want to catch or fish??? Because if you what to catch fish you got to put the time in to learn the behavior of a fish on the water not a video.

[@acme9538]

Best

[@barrydeacon3551]

The Legend!

[@brandonsmith606]

True words

[@colt110987]

He’s spent more than he has won in the last 10 years. Like every other pro

[@BassmasterOfficial]

[@captainchaos4082]

[@travislovelace44]

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

The Hack Attack!

[@Redbird5280]

Glad to see bam margera doing good

[@jakeblaha9233]

Might as well just call him the hammer.

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

i been countryboy my whole life i wanted to show the world how to catch record bass then my mom had accident she was more important to me.I was littleboy i catch 8lber i use to say Bill Dance not got a chance against me cause records to me is out of most pressure water in country.Just like deer hunting i could kill any breeder bulk out of anyone property the first day i hunt.but i always told people me searching to see if GOD is real very young in life cause i just wanted to know for myself changed my life its makes all animals calm around me

[@Opiemus]

I'm a huge Greg Hackney fan and I really like this style. They really got me when they had that fishing commercial and he said " it's awesome man"! I think it was a commercial for Abu Garcia or Quantum reels I can't remember which. 🤔

[@freemyself8223]

I’m also a Greg Fan if you never met him you are missing out he’s my go 2 guy. Let me tell you one of my Greg stories. I met him a few years ago in Shreveport Louisiana I was just told my nephew was killed 😔 I was in a dark place at the time so I headed home and when I turned the corner I saw him and a few pros at the gas station. I was happy because when I saw the boats I knew the bass pros was in town. Make a king story short Greg let me hang with home for 3 days I had a blast 💥 believe it or not I needed that to help me get over my pain

[@jimbones2327]

Don't txt that number it's a scam yall

[@andrewboyce7268]

Why do I feel like the bassmaster classic was can't miss TV in the 80s, but now its a total after thought and hard to find on TV? Absolute shame, if you have kids teach them how to rip lips. Haven't really met to many shitty people who like to fish.

[@JustJigit]

Hi

[@vandos11]

HACK ATTACK IS A BAD MAN

[@vandos11]

I miss Ray Scott

[@anthonytanachion9781]

Come to California Greg we'll fish some of these Mountain Lakes and the Delta region and if you can do it like you do in Oklahoma Texas Missouri. Any fish the right Seasons when they're eating when they're not eating then you can say you're fisherman you got to be able to catch them all Year bro. Like I said my last post I love you I followed you for years but you Scott Martin Roland Martin and the in fisherman guys come to California let me show you a few tricks when it's super f****** hot excuse my French or when it's super cold. These Lakes you fish that the deep water is 20 ft that ain't nothing we got Lakes out here that are 3400 ft deep when they're on a low pool and if they're full we got water as deep as a thousand feet and in 900 ft there be a bridge or a channel swing that then fish will be sitting on and you got to reel them up real slow so you don't blow out their eyes and their bladder so when you guys talk about deep water 15 20 ft Denny we sight fish that deep out here

[@GSUbassdad]

@Anthony Tanachion Mud slides, forest fires, fruits and nuts… I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to move to California. If you can convince Hackney to move there, I’ll move there too. 😆

[@anthonytanachion9781]

Okay I get it you're not in California so you get to feed all these deers you get to give them all these minerals and protein. And I appreciate all that but why don't you go to a state either California Wyoming Idaho or wherever well you're not allowed to bait them and kill those big deers on public land instead of feeding them and giving them the minerals they need. It's like if you never caught a bass over 10 lb but you're fishing a private pond that you're putting crawdads in you're putting shed and you're putting all these minerals you're doing all this stuff I'm still a 10 lb bass I get it but do it on public land or public water and then brag. I love you Greg I follow you everywhere you go on your Bassmasters and Elite and all that but all you people are talking about hunting these ranches and your your you got food plots and you're giving them knees and you're getting it's not hunting you know they're going to be there you know what time they're going to be there hell you even know what color is poop is I mean come on man hunt public land no feeders no ground blinds you do it from scratch brother and then when you get something big brag to the public about it

[@BassmasterOfficial]

He’s taking hundreds of acres of land he’s purchased and building it from the ground up. He’s hunted private before, but thoroughly enjoys hunting public land. You didn’t get to see the full day of shooting with Hackney, but he explains his whole passion and vision. Not something you can assume from this video, so unless you know everything about his situation, don’t assume negatively.

[@andrewboyce7268]

Man. Leave California, its a different world compared to states in the east. Also its his land, dudes made some real cash, thousands of acres of land. He's doing a great service

[@GSUbassdad]

Anthony my man, drugs kill dude! It’s time to seek professional help. I’m pulling for ya bro!

[@dan776]

Anyone that calls deer "deers" is definitely a credible source of deer hunting information
