Jordan Lee wins the Bassmaster Classic with monster bag

Jordan Lee jumped from 15th to 1st at the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S when he weighed in 27 pounds and 4 ounces of bass. The former college angler fished one spot on Lake Conroe on the final day because of a motor malfunction. Read more about his victory here: www.bassmaster...

"I just love catchin fish" Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@DannyBFishing]

Fished against him in college and knew then he was ready to compete with the top pros! Now he is the bassmaster classic champion! Couldn't be happier!

[@castorhetfield6664]

[@OrilliaFishing]

[@GabooNx]

I was rooting for Brent and Mike. I wanted Jordan to be in the top 5 day one but didn't think that would happen after day one weigh in!! What an amazing classic!! Congratulations, Jordan!

[@bluve0303]

The best Classic finish I've seen yet. It was an awesome Expo too.

[@edwardchavis5503]

Great job lee

[@st.claireric4587]

B a s s live didn't even show Jordan at all on the final day they really dropped the ball would of been epic footage.. They didn't show Kennedy either.. lol.. 1st and 2nd didn't show them at all...

[@WisconsinFishingandOutdoors]

St.Clair Eric to be fair they were 20+ pounds back. stfu. ignorance.

[@st.claireric4587]

Wisconsin Fishing and Outdoors Excuse me No you Stfu.. Ignorance really what I said is Fact this isn't the Tuesday nite jackpot on Belly Button buyou. This is the BassMaster classic I'm pretty sure the Camera on Evers or Elam or whoever could of left in search of a contender. or have an extra camera for such a situation.Conroe is known for all or nothing days they knew this going into the last day that's why Ehler said he didn't want to be in the lead. it's tournament fishing expect the unexpected.. What's there to argue it was one of the greatest comebacks in our sport and no one seen it.. And your gonna argue that.I guess If you know nothing about tournaments and fishing you can get confused easily..

[@WisconsinFishingandOutdoors]

St.Clair Eric you have any idea of the cost of broadcasting a fishing tournament? obviously not. you can't just move cameras. It's also incredibly insulting to the angler being recorded if the camera leaves. These guys also fish miles apart. It takes time to move cameras and boats. Even Jordan himself thought he didn't have a chance. They followed the contenders to start the day. 10 guys had a shot at the win an hour before check in. Hell, some guys only caught two fish. Two 5 pounders and all of a sudden they're back in the lead.

[@st.claireric4587]

Wisconsin Fishing and Outdoors your an idiot ✌..Congratulations Jordan Lee Bassmaster Champ

[@WisconsinFishingandOutdoors]

St.Clair Eric I'm an idiot for making a valid point? With all due respect (none) fuck off.

[@ReelMissouriFishing]

Absolute hammer

[@UnderPaah72]

Really wish I could have found this on tv to watch live. There needs to be a fishing channel.....24/7 fishing programs and live tournaments

[@BassmasterOfficial]

We had live streaming coverage on our site and WatchESPN app, and you can watch archives here: video.bassmaster.com/#category/videos/geico-bassmaster-classic - Sara

[@StFidjnr]

hey Bassmaster can you please upload more bassmaster classic films on youtube

[@NorthernMike]

Peter Hayes Yes sir, live TV would have been great.

[@ljthebarbertv4369]

Two Alabama pros Lee and Kennedy

[@Jeff-is4wg]

I bet he's going to do some push-ups after this one!!! He couldn't hold that thing up!! 😂

[@BassmasterOfficial]

The trophy's pretty heavy 💪 - Sara

[@John_D2]

I'd be surprised if they ever go back to conroe.

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

No joke, I thought how stupid can you be when they announced that the classic was going there.

[@John_D2]

kinda like Pittsburgh , one and done...

[@williambannister1127]

Who else thinks he's going to win today?! Two in a row?!

[@AnthonyGarcia-dy2gl]

he loves his mama

[@ryanmcgarry2058]

DOUBLE GUN LOAD. BOOMSHACKALAKA. GGGGGGGGGGGGIANT BAG

[@bannor216]

do they play rap at all the bass master classics?

[@stevebenson3024]

Mercer has gogogogot to go. You have a million dollar operation with a two bit carnival barker. Get Zona anything.

[@Atheos119]

Dude that kid from Alex Peric videos won the fucking classic? Thats absolutely incredible.

[@risotti3]

Charles Barton he's been on the elite tour for 2-3 years I think. Not really a surprise, very very good fisherman and close to winning a handle full of times already, but the manner in which this was done has me remembering about that 3-28 lead.....remarkable

[@BassmasterOfficial]

Yes, he's been an Elite series angler since 2015, and he was a college series champion as well. - Sara

[@person4211]

friggin rights boys moment of silence for those 5, 6 pounders that all died this day.

[@Atheos119]

What are you talking about?

[@BassmasterOfficial]

We had a 98.6% live release rate at the Classic this year. - Sara

[@joelaveritt6077]

Dave mercer is the man
