The term "MY SPOT" sure was used alot in this video, NO SUCH PLACE EXISTS!!! First come, first serve. 😢 Time for the big boy pants. Camp out on that SPOT if you thinks it's yours. Once you leave the, "SPOT" other anglers have the same right as you! ENTITLEMENT 😢😢

[@oldfishermanandhisdog]

Karma took care of Wheeler today, missed the Championship Round by 4lbs.

[@slayerstacker2074]

He still gained points on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place in the AOY points. This was still not Wheelers finest hour. No one is perfect in this world. Wheeler is very competitive, and he is just trying to win. He was just trying to protect his fish for the next round. He still should have let Matt go on and fish.

[@Dolphins-are-Stinkyfish]

Yea, a top 11 of 80 anglers is "karma" 🤣 He pulled further away in AOY points, too.

[@oldfishermanandhisdog]

@slayerstacker2074 Wheeler showed who he is! Whether you think it's good, bad, or indifferent your choice to make. IMO, this, along with the Zaldain incident, is just another blow against Tournament Fishing!

Pro Bass fishing has gone to Hell

[@scottbrewer2221]

I have fished a lot of years and I'm just learning that if a pro or a local tournament fisherman has a spot on the lake it's theirs for eternity and no one else can fish it if the pro or tournament fisherman is on the lake and wants to fish there. Baloney it's first come first fish. I will not cut you and you should not cut me. Pro do not have special situation but if they ask I might move out of kindness, but understand just because you are fishing for money doesn't make the spot yours.

Randy what gives you the idea that a pro has more right to fish a point over a local who was already fishing it.

It was quite clear that he pulled up on Becker who was already fishing. There’s a whole river to fish. Give another guy space, especially if you don’t even need the fish. It just seems like Wheeler was purposely being a jerk.

[@drumking388]

I am a crappie fisherman and I usually call out to a boat that is bass fishing up the bank toward me and invite them to fish on through as I move a short way out. Most will thank me and go around me without fishing the spot. Some do fish the spot and are most grateful and thank me. Either way, I have a great feeling because I did not let selfishness rule my spirit.

All this bullshit and drama just solidifies my decision to stop tournament fishing 22 years ago and just enjoy Gods' creation and hunt for big bass, then release them where caught. That being said, if you roll up on me and you are in a tournament, the ball is in your court. If you act like an entitled asshole who thinks he owns every spot on the water, I will not yield... If you treat me with respect and demonstrate sportsmanship and etiquette, your chances just increased on me yielding to you. In other words: Don't be an asshole.

[@noswad75]

A tournament angler doesn't own the lake and they don't have the right of way whether they are winning a tourney or not.

[@anthonycecil7070]

In the mid 80’s, I had a guide with clients, brazenly pull up on me on Lake Fork telling me I was in his spot. It was about to get ugly when he finally decided to go elsewhere. Public water is “first come, first serve”. The old unwritten rule regarding distance to another boat used to be, never get so close that casts can overlap. Courtesy is gone today. I’ve actually had boats go between me and the bank I’m fishing.

Randy I don't think it was determined that weekend anglers generally think they simply "shouldn't move for Tournament anglers". I've seen more people say consistently just be considerate, ask, and communicate. Not just roll in blasting hot on a guys spot he's fishing. Nobody on the lake is high and mighty over another. Period. But it seems that's the aspect long forgotten. People generally just really need to check themselves and their manners. You want to see a guy who conducts themselves properly, look no further than Cooper Galant. There's an angler that has his head on right, always respectful and courteous. There's many more too!

[@Dolphins-are-Stinkyfish]

Randy, come on, man. Wheeler was a good 120-180 yards away when he pulled in. Also, you either purposefully left out details or just don't know what happened. JW found that spot in practice, and on day one was BEHIND Becker on that stretch. Becker caught ZERO fish and moved out. JW pulls in and catches 12-15 scorable fish. Becker knew where Wheeler was when he was getting updated on the scoretracker. He saw him catch those fish. When you said he pulled up right on Becker, I laughed. How do you defend Zaldain and lay 100% blame on JW? I guess you approve of Becker catching the same bed fish over and over at Cayuga last year, which pulled him into the top 10 and ultimately beating JW out of AOY by the skin of his teeth. I guess you would be okay losing AOY in that fashion.

[@thomasberny5775]

[@phil2470]

You hit a sore spot Randy and I am not going to agree with you on this one. "Nobody calls dibs on the tour guide." The Journey To The Center Of The Earth movie nails the phrase here. Calling dibs on a spot is a really, really bad idea. I don't know who came up with the idea that they own part of the water because they caught fish there before but that is just beyond juvenile. I would never think I owned a spot if I caught fish on it and it shouldn't be an unwritten rule either. If somebody is fishing a spot, it is their spot no matter who shows up to fish it later. If they don't want to move, they don't have to. If they want to spend their day fishing one little area, that is their choice, so move on. If I were a tournament director, that would be something I would make clear from day one and if anyone complained they can fish another trail. I don't want to hear about this any more please. It is childish to think a person gets to call a spot their own. "If you snooze, you lose" comes to mind also.

I'm sick and tired of cry baby professional fishermen thinking they are special and everyone else should bow down to them.

If you're a professional fishermen or a tournament fishermen what you're doing is irrelevant to society and contrary to what you think you ain't shit.

If they pull up on a spot I’m fishing and start cussing and getting pissed because a weekend warrior is fishing their so called spot, then forgot it..I ain’t moving..now if they pull up with some common courtesy and go about the deal politely then I will gladly move and give them the spot…first impressions go along ways…I don’t care if that pro is fishing for 80k, 100k, or 20k…

Randy - I have a different POV on this one. I ride in the boats with the MLF BPT guys. First point is the most MLF anglers out each day is 40 so on these 50,000+ acre lakes you rarely see another boat. In the 5% of time you see one - the pros are very considerate. Jacob is highly respected by his peers on this and any of the ethical areas. As the number 1 pro in the world for the last 5+ years, Jacob does get more road noise. But if you talk to any of the MLF pros - nothing but respect.

I would NOT interfere with a pro. With enough tournaments under my belt I know what he needs. But, the pro should be courteous because some fishermen have no idea when they might effect a pros plan ! On my lake most guys let the pros make their living ,which is a very hard and stressful job.

[@americanagothic7851]

I’m not telling anyone what to do. If I know a tourney is going on then I can absolutely go somewhere else. If I’m already fishing, I’m not cutting anyone off and I don’t expect it to happen to me no matter what. I’m not going to hog a spot if I’m not making anything happen either. Whoever was there first gets the spot. It’s expected that if another wants to fish it, they ask and talk it over. Does this always happen? No. I’ve seen plenty of fires up fishermen not want to give up a spot when they don’t have it at the moment. People have just got to remember to keep their cool and just be respectful. A few fish really isn’t worth burning bridges. Maybe a tourney win is, but thats all in the eye of the beholder. Not for me.

I feel that it's common courtesy no one is a mind reader and common courtesy and sportsmanship and Etiquette should always prevail just my opinion for someone to act like a dick just shows poor sportsmanship and that's when the bass gods give that bad sport a wake up call and they miss the top 10 by a very small amount just saying

I think your wrong on this, wheeler actually watched Becker the day before catch 0 fish on this spot where he caught a boat load, then he played a little defense and guarded the same spot so Becker didn’t screw up his best shot at winning! Also Becker was pretty much poaching so to speak!

[@wciii3591]

A recreational fisherman doesn't give up a spot to a pro, not because they "can't stand, pro's as RB insists on telling us. Rather it is common curtesy, that who ever is there first has the right of way. Not sure why RB insists that recreational anglers are bad guys. Seems self serving to me.

I kayak fish and I don't think anybody owns a spot. I am however courteous and let bank fishers fish the main spots they can access if someone is there. If not I cast around there. Now if money is on the line then all bets are off. Oh well. 😂

Becker was hole jumping in my opinion he could not find his own fish just another Ike He should not be fishing after his fiscal last year anyway
