Gerald Swindle Pours His Heart Out In A TINY BOAT | Boats and Pros

[@trapper02]

It’s like a bass version of “comedians in cars getting coffee” I love it!

[@scottseggermann7346]

I totally agree. This is awesome and this should be done with every pro.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Glad you caught the inspiration. Loved that for a long tim!

[@JB-ne3wp]

Man this brings back memories. Especially him talking about Jerry Rhine and lake keowee. In the 90s my dad was a semi pro and had a 15 1/2 glassport bass boat. He won many of tournaments in that old 4K dollar boat and a Carolina rig with a green pumpkin zoom. We loved that boat for many years. Unfortunately in 2007 he had a boating accident and passed away in that boat. But he went out doing what he loved. Thank you for taking me back with this video.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad that you enjoyed this.

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

Absolutely love this video Luke! G-Man has to be one of my favorite fisherman, and his saying of PMA, (positive mental attitude) is exactly what they told us in the Marine Corps! Love seeing you and G-Man out on the water together! Can’t wait for the next in this series! This is the Best One though!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you for watching! G is the real deal. Get what you see! Great guy.

[@jameswood1250]

Rent free LD,by far this is your best episode of anything you have put out.Real life stuff.I came home from lacrosse practice and told my daddy I wanted to fish high school tournaments, daddy told me great,we have one issue,no boat.My daddy picked me up from practice next day and I told him I had boat issue figured out we can sell our travel trailer and get a bass boat,mama and daddy said ok ,sold it next day and daddy bought me a 16 foot skeeter with a 90 hp Yamaha, it was a fish catching machine.I graduated last year and they bought me a new Triton trx 189. I'm fishing college now and I'm forever grateful for the sacrifices they make for me to live my dream. Keep up the great work and thanks to TH marine for the help they offer us college anglers.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Go catch them.

[@troyd5436]

Gerald, you beat me out for 5th place on the 3rd day at Beaver in 1978 by 2 oz, and went on to win the FLW event. Glad you made something of it.

[@FreetoProwlOutdoors]

Love G, not just because you'll never know what will come out of his mouth but for the humility!

[@brettlanglois8769]

This was great! I got to meet Gerald last year on Guntersville. Very down to earth and I can see he’s a compassionate fellow. I’d love to spend a day on the water with him! I so enjoyed the serious side of him too. I lost my only brother 8 years ago, and I could feel his pain. Tight lines my friends, and keep em coming!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

G is a great man. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeramypeoples8828]

Gman ... what can you say .... The humblest man ive ever seen and love to follow evey year !!! Turned this 48 yr old mans train of thought with one phrase ... ( IF YOU AINT HAVEN FUN CHANGE WHAT YOUR DOIN ) !!!! THANKS GAMN ... AWESOME VIDEO LUKE KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK !!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

[@morrisonoutdoors8477]

[@michaeledens1271]

Best video I've seen in a long time. Pretty much a rerun of my life. From baseball to fishing...thank you.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

I swear I could watch anything with gman in it over and over again and it not get old. Such a funny and humble fella!

[@thelakecommander7632]

Greatest video ever. I love how Gerald gives a peak over his shoulder every once a while to check to make sure that 70 has fallen off

[@jaredkemperfishing]

Loving this new series Luke...KEEP EM COMING!!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thanks dude!!!

[@joshuaclements4514]

Gerald is by far my favorite fisherman bc he is down to earth and went from rags to riches doing it by putting in the long hours and hard work. Love hearing these stories.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. He’s the best.

[@myYOLOtek]

Oh, my ... we couldn't stop wachin or stop laughin... awesome stuff!

[@jkelbe]

That was really good. I hope the next installment ties into the angler as much as this one did.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

I think you'll enjoy it! Thank you!

[@Tom_Monahan]

Absolutely amazing show! Thanks Luke and G Man!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you for watching!

[@jeffreyperryman3148]

Man talk about bringing some good memories back! Great interview with G Man and look forward to more of these.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you Jeffrey!

[@ufishmore]

My dad that passed recently had this same boat, we caught lots of crappie and rockfish out of that rig in the Tullahoma tri-lakes region, all small water lol. Back in '97 when my Bumble Bee 200 ProVee went down I borrowed my Dad's little boat and won a derby on Woods Reservoir with 19#+ , was lucky they all stayed alive until weigh-in. Thanks for the video and recalling all the items like a 12V trolling motor and other luxuries we didn't have back then! Love the Waller family that started Bumble Bee years ago in Tullahoma and it's crazy how Stephen Waller has been a big part of the development of Falcon Boats. Appreciate how Luke pointed out the history of how Phoenix Boats started in the old Bumble Bee plant and when Phoenix started up they continued a Bee Line offering for customers until they got traction.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing!

[@rodneykimberlyhenry5056]

Thanks for the good old days flashback. Those were the days when you ran what you had and hope for the best LOL. Nice looking Phoenix boat you have good luck this year.

[@modemagic1]

This was absolutely fantastic!

[@howardbenson1173]

I am 74 yrs old and have a 17ft. Triton and you made me feel good about it.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

That thing is a battleship compared to this feller haha

[@dustingrant2062]

[@BroncoOtis4X4]

That was freakin great! Not what I expected and am stoked for this series to continue!!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zachshott7833]

They are plenty of anglers that I enjoy to watch, but G Man is on a whole nother level. Buy far my favorite guy in the industry, and I always try to remember the PMA philosophy

[@neoklahomawhitetaildonnyha9176]

Mad Respect for the GMan !! Love ya Brother!!

[@zrulz]

I remember pulling the battery out of the truck and using it to start and run the boat and getting off the water hoping the battery would start the truck to get the family home or taking the truck battery along as a backup with jumper cables.

[@cheyennejankowski79]

Man there is so much to Learn from the G-man. He will always be honest and never forget where he came from.

[@jimmiecampbell4357]

HAHAHA! Brings back memories. I bet Gerald can relate. As young kid of 25, went to Guerrero the year it opened. Drove nonstop from Texarkana, tx to Lake Guerrero, in a Ford Maverick pulling a 15 ft stick steering VIP w/a 50 ho Jonson. Pitched a tent at the old church site of Padilla. Was fishing south along the Ocho River (sp). 3rd day heard a train whistle. Wasn't a train, but wind. Came out of the trees into 5/6 ft waves. Never been so scared if my life. But caught fish till my fingers were raw. Great memories.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Great story!! So cool.

[@jameswatsonfx2148]

This was perfect lunch break viewing. Luke I laughed the whole time. Keep up the great work. See you at the classic.

[@jaredkemperfishing]

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you! See you there!

[@corys9898]

Watson your the king of bass comedy !! You definently need to be part of this series!!

[@alexdeneau5866]

How in the heck are you going to top this. Heck of a way to start a series. Absolutely loved it. My first boat was a 1989 Ranger fisherman. This brings back memories. Keep it up brother.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

He's a great guy!

[@johnnymassengale6275]

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you Vince! Covid slowed our filming down but more to come in 2021

[@chrisvmartinez]

Well damn, one episode and I'm subscribing. This episode had it all, made me tear up a bit, made me reflect, inspired me, and made me envy Swindles' drive in life. Thank you guys.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thanks for that brother!!

[@upstateangler9575]

Thisbwas a great vid . I am newer into the fishing scene . I have just recently started learning some of the pro circuits . This was a great vid to get to know Mr. Swindel . He seens to be a down to earth great great guy who truly loves fishing . I am at that point where I am obsessed with fishing and will do anything to just get out there and be on the water

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you so much. Gerald is a great guy. Glad you watched it!

[@shaynes21]

G man is an awesome guy, I’ve met him at the Classic in Birmingham and at the elite series last year at Neely and both times he was just as cool and down to earth as he could be. Went out of his way to take pictures and sign autographs and just talked to like he’s known you for years. Also met Lu Lu too and she’s the sweetest lady. Love her sandwich bag notes!!!

[@randyreynolds8826]

Love the video. Reminded me when my buddies and me would hold our three john boats together and one trolling motor pushing us up to the head of the lake and we would fish back to the ramp when were kids.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

That’s so cool! Took me wayyyy back too. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@bassawhile8848]

Going back and watching some of the best videos definitely enjoy this one!

[@scottseggermann7346]

[@zachadcox3956]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus It's great to hear the true story of bass fishing! The struggles the sacrifice the balance between everyday life and family and the passion that's in us to be great fisherman! I loved this because it is the truth, it's not about the money it's about the love of the sport! I lost my daddy in 2018 and he was my partner from the first time I learned to tie a knot and make a cast. This was great guys I have always been a fan of you both especially ole gman. Keowee is my home lake so it was also great to hear that story!

Awesome video those stories sounded like my life now lol. Building fences and tournament fishing every weekend trying to make it where Gman is.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Heck yes Justin! Keep after it!

[@pvpope03]

I fished many days on the G in a 1988 Stratos 256v (15’6”) 70HP Rude. That run from Browns Creek to Spring Creek rippin’ at 38mph…what a ride!

I love this. Favorite new series!!! Dude, would love to see Hackney or Clunn on here. Gman for president!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you!!

[@johnhipp7817]

Love it. G man seems just real and down to earth. Great boat. I fish a 1979 Astroglass 15 footer. No motor just 2- 12v trollers. But i love it.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

G is the best. Glad you enjoyed it. That boat sounds so cool!

[@atthebrink74]

Good Job Luke! Awesome video with the G-Man!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you Mike! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@hunterbigwood4556]

Luke, this is a jam up idea. I’ll be honest I solely created a channel to follow the traveling circus and have not been disappointed. Keep up the good work.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you for that Hunter!!

[@Cornuts1000]

Great video!! Nothing wrong with an older boat as long as she floats. Mine is a 1998 196sc Hydra Sports.(garage kept) Same as Menendez used to run. Will never get rid of her.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Thank you! Nothing wrong with an older boat at ALL! Whatever gets you fishing.

[@Cornuts1000]

Earl Benz designed the 196 and Hydra Sports dropped their bass boast line shortly after. Not many were built Ive heard. Maybe that's why it resembles the early Tritons. Fairly fast hull and handles rough water pretty good. Lake Erie! Good to see Gerald back in the Elites. That's real tournament fishing! Best of luck to him.

[@BassandFurious]

Love this!! Could watch luke and gman cutting up all day!

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]
