This is my first time watching this dude's videos and all I can think is "If Chael Sonnen did fishing videos". MMA fans will know what I mean. Great video!

[@beckman6017]

Little late, but that’s 100% accurate 😂

[@tytar1037]

August used to be the hottest in Missouri. But we’ve actually had cooler weather in August the past few years. July is the brutal month!

[@davidbrown-55]

Ike’s still the man

[@demise138]

Well your comment is 11 months old and here I am wondering if Ikes still the man

[@jonathanstewart9838]

Yeah he is

[@demise138]

@@jonathanstewart9838 thank you for taking the time to respond That makes you the man Therefor Ike is no longer the man and you sir took “the man” title so in the end Ike is not “still the man” 🧐

[@BamaBassSlayer]

This man has forced Abu to keep making quality reels 💕 thanks Ike

[@natea4828]

That's crazy! I've never seen or heard anyone talk about a tail spinner and I got one at the store before I knew how good it was right now and just started smashing them on it about a week, week and a half ago! And it is blasting them right now on my Lake in Missouri! It's just crazy to see someone talk about it right after I started using it for the very first time and it is working amazingly and I'm just burning it through the fish and it stays close to the bottom because it's basically a weight with hooks on it and a spinner

[@leroyusa935]

His and a very few others actually help the anglers learn something about fishing strategies that can improve one's skills. So glad he's got these videos that never gets old or irrelevant. Thanks!

[@miguelsantiago5443]

When Ike says, “listen to me”, you tell everybody in the room to shut up!

[@rshock]

Thanks Mike

[@Nate_Higgins]

Fish are sweatin' down here in the Ozarks, but we'll get em. It's funny, Blaukat did his worst baits for August video yesterday. He had a spin tail on there😂. That's fishing for ya.

[@riccochet704]

Blaukat is a tool.

[@granthibberd6069]

Yea cos the fish are down there with their calendars like: it ain’t September yet, I ain’t eating no tail spin this week 😂

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Ike, these are the best vids on social media!! You are a born teacher!

[@phillyman5000]

Hi Mike, Sherry Bertino says hello!! I'm good friends with her!!! Sister of Barry the Bassman!! :) Recently started watching your videos!! Great information!! I moved to Florida a year ago and started fishing again!! :)

[@j.christopherhickman2060]

Man for sure . Can’t wait to go punching . I did that a lot at a little lake in hazelhurst miss . Caught several 6 and seven lbs bass . I miss that kind of fishing .

[@greggardner1548]

Tried fishing a football jig and a drop shot last week and I all caught was a bunch of weeds and muck off of the bottom. Been trying to learn these techniques.

[@tavaris8466]

Thanks Ike awesome video I’ll definitely try all of these at my next derby in two weeks

[@white-hobo]

your my dang ol hero mr mike

[@nic_harden09]

You’re the most informative fisherman and a great teacher. I don’t see how you don’t have millions of followers.

[@mikefellman8139]

Mike, that swing jig is what caught most of my bass this summer. I never used that technique until June. I use a 9" fat max and caught the 2 biggest fish i ever caught, mind you, I'm in southeast Pennsy, so 3 - 3 1/2 lb are big to me.

[@Jhelfer]

Ike gets me hyped . Is it just me?

[@MrTapout619]

Man that third method for the punch section is gold. I never though about that tic method. Gonna try that tomorrow!thx

IKE Great selection 👌 however your not old till you get my age. In the 70's haven't thrown a little George since I was a kid. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍

[@muskiesteve]

[@Rutledge_midwest]

Never heard of ticking the roof before. Thanks!!

[@jcataldo1988]

Team Italia bro, keep the content coming!

[@jdubya3498]

Some pros are excellent anglers and yet can't talk to their families, some anglers are great anglers and semi-informative when it comes to translating their intricacies, experience on the water to teach others.....annnnnnnnd then there's Ike! Still the man after 127 years, the staying power of an old rusty nail, and easily the most passionate word artist when it comes to teaching and passing on his years of experience on and off the water.

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

You really know your stuff IKEMASTER. Another impressive video here

[@matthewcarneyfishing11]

August is a tough month but you can catch some Bigguns!

[@HanzSolo1]

[@enriquetorres1014]

Hey Mike was wondering what top4 baits for Southern California San Diego please let me know

[@FishingwithOleDad]

You should have left Little George out of this. He is a Killer here in Central Fl. We use him in the winter also. Slow rollin.... Tattle tale! LOL!

[@danielduran5276]

Hi mike from SPAIN!!!! How deep is deep water??? Finally i don't know how but always finish fishing shallow getting small fish. Tk

[@shane10]

This video would have been way better if you zoomed in for some detail but thanks for the tips much appreciated

[@stephenrobertson2397]

All food except the thermocline

[@DrinkWetPoopFishing]

Mike, while you are ticking the roof, is it hard to distinguish a bite from the ticking? I've never caught a punch fish. Are the bites from ticking generally more subtle or more aggressive like top water hits?

[@mannysingh8062]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@elromanicobaby]

How to make showing 4 lures take 25min

[@unknownlord123]

Bro it doesn’t rain in texas in the summer. The lake is 4 ft down lol. It hasn’t rained in weeks what are you talking about “summer rains”.

[@jcataldo1988]

I'm still laughing about the fuckin Kensington fleshlight 😅😅
