Failed Polygraphs, LEGENDS Leaving, And Fishing For Peace In SEC Craziness W/ Dayne Davis!

[@wingort9]

Unexpected but turned out to be a cool guest. Enjoyed it. Thanks Luke.

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Glad you enjoyed it! Was glad we got him on.

[@Kylewatchesstuff]

Props to you for shouting out Foutz’s year. What a turnaround for him. A lot of people think tournament fishing is gone down hill, to be honest there has always been drama, this is just a new kind of drama. We needed an Ike v KVD moment and could use an Ish v Poche moment LOL. Full contact fishing, bring it on LOL. With all the cliques we need some battle royales about now…😂

[@paulthornton9859]

How did Johnston know what Gee “chirped” on live?

[@FlemDawgFishin]

Also awesome to hear him talk about Brad burkhart and the youth trail. My son fishes in their tourneys. Him and sunny Defoe and many others put in a lot of work for the youth and I hope they know it’s very much appreciated! Enjoyed this one. Hits close to home even though we’re in va we spend a lot of time in east tn

[@treylee7623]

ROLL TIDE ROLL!! 😂 great show! I love the fishing part but also enjoy football as well! Btw lets not forget #fbd!

[@FlemDawgFishin]

I’ve done a lot of fishing and golfing at Steele creek park! Awesome to hear that on low budget live after listening to every episode that’s ever been lol.

Amen. When they pass a poly it’s a defense, and when they fail it’s flawed

[@ronaldbryant8457]

Yeah, lost every bit of respect for the Johnson Brothers over this river situation....and I respected them alot, but this is going to come back around one day......I can't wait to see it!!....Punks....

[@stevenbates5921]

The problem with going to the same places every season is that spots get exposed and folks get mad. I've had it happen to me on the lakes I fish. Mix it up and put them on new lakes where everyone doesn't already have 1000 waypoints.

[@CBGRTR]

And BASS LIIVE will ruin spots notvjust tornaments going there all the locals as many times the Johnston Brothers have been there im shocked that spot is worth a damn anymore

[@NeilJernigan-kh7mt]

if bass is going to allow the Johnstons to do what they did Sunday, then you can expect all anglers to start playing defense when their buddy is in 2nd. If moving in on, surrounding and blocking the day 2 leader is now part of the game, it will be part of the game. BASS needs to nip this in the ass fast, or it’s going to drastically change this sport. I’m not kidding. Surrounding and blocking the tournament leader is going to become the norm is they don’t step in and do something. Watch and see

[@bamadondon0495]

The Jason Lambert and Randy Haynes days were the best days EVER IMO.. I miss FLW!!! Still watch that tournament Lambert pulled 100+lb's out the depths of Kentucky lake... Those days are gone n THATS a tragedy. Strictly talking about FLW days .

[@jimbaumgardner1436]

Pretty cool having Dayne on. As a Buckeye at heart but love me some SEC football. What a weekend of fishing drama. For the first time ever it’s turning me away from BASS. I hope they right the ship. I could say so much😮. Come on BASS…..do better!

[@mtayloroutdoors]

It’s weird to me guys can give each other spots and baits in the tourney but you can’t go on social media and see what other guys are throwing. I’m not a tournament angler but seems odd that some info is ok but others is not. Would love to have you get Zona on your show Luke!

What did they say? I missed it

[@justinmarbut4331]

What the Johnstons did claiming a hole then trying to push him out and publicly threatening him was a bitch move!! He needs to bring that kinda attitude down here in the south and he will be humbled guickly! To think you have secrets now is just dumb!

[@lfcskater]

@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus weird timing lol. Go gators tho 😂

[@JoeGerossie]

I enjoyed the spot battle, kinda brought some excitement into a kinda predictable event. I think if Gee just acknowledged hey ya I did find this spot seeing you win on it, I’d be glad to share the area but I ain’t leaving. Chris probably cost him the win, but they’re playing chess out there and all within the rules, for now!

[@ericahlstrom9506]

Wish i was around to see how Denny Brauer or Tommy Biffle would react to a rookie fishing a spot they had fished for 10 years, 80 miles from the boat ramp and a VERY long way from the rookie's house 😂😂😂 Not saying what Chris did was right or wrong but I will say we still idolize Denny and Tommy's behavior. They are legends for their attitude, but now someone does it and they are the devil

[@chundle09]

All I have to say is.. everyone says Chris is the BEST fisherman on the entire Lake Ontario/ Saint Lawrence River but he only had that one spot to fish on day 3 and 4 lol? 🤨🤣

[@butchmontgomery3595]

The difference is the rookies back then respected the veterans and these young punks don't have respect for the veterans or the integrity of the sport.

[@CBGRTR]

So let me ask ya I'm not defending anybody just saying so gee knew about that spot from years past seeing other guys fish it is he not pose to go ther and say well thats Cory and Chris spot ? How many places has other anglers went to cause of this?

[@ericahlstrom9506]

@CBGRTR I would expect Gee to chirp back at Chris about how after being on live on the spot so many times it's fair game. A little back and forth setting boundaries is fine. I wouldn't expect Gee to leave. But he shouldn't pretend he found the spot all on his own (give credit) and definitely don't tell someone to move in on Chris. That was where Gee really made a mistake and lost respect from guys I think. He had the moral high ground for the most part until then. It's definitely not Chris's spot after being on live so many times but I have no problem with a little back and forth on the water. Made for great TV and if it was Biffle it would have made even better TV 😆

[@jeffpyeatt1208]

Neither one of those guys would have rolled up on the leader being in 31st but would have expected the same in return.

[@horbie5039]

I wonder what would have come out about some of our sports legends 20,30,40 years ago if they were under the same scrutiny and social media exposure as the rookie class we have this year.

[@stevenbates5921]

Denny and Biffle are notorious for being Hole Bullies.... just a lot of it was before shock media and it never got exposed.

[@zachcottrill9418]

I think my bait of choice would have been carolina rig and deep dive crankbait with extra large trebles.

[@waterdog3978]

Melton hill is in Clinton/oak ridge and ends close to lenoir city

[@DLPfishing]

Great run for Rick Clunn outstanding individual, he will be missed. This legend spot will open the door for Casey Ashley to move in!! looking forward for him to return back. The debacle.between Gee and Johnson in which I was pulling for Gee as a rookie but after the USA comment was unnecessary and BS that’s why he got handed an ass spanking just my opinion he’s an young guy and I hope he learns from this

[@tonygreen4356]

The questions on a polygraph, almost always vary on if you want them to fail or pass....

[@TonyThompson-io9fu]

What happens if Gee decides to go to Corey’s spot on Saturday or Sunday? Bs 1st and 31st shouldn’t see 31st at all on Sat or Sunday PERIOD

[@789Derek]

I appreciate the way Gee handled it. He was pissed as anyone would have been under the circumstances and he fought back the only way he could think of by inviting Trey over to help pound on them. I lost any little bit of respect I may have ever had for the Johnston bullies. Tough guy Cory will have his day. Trust me, they all do. Calling Gee names and acting like he might take care of it before the blast off. I wonder if he would have been popping off at his suck if Ish Monroe had been sitting there or one of the lane brothers….i’m guessing not! And Mercer , going boat to boat asking anglers to sniff rock salt? Really Dave? How old are you? B.A.S.S. doesn’t need Dave’s help looking any worse than they have managed to look this year. You can’t make this shit up !

[@glennblanchard7354]

Bad part about Gee leaving to go get trey is he let Chris line up on the juice for sure. And when they cross paths and Chris said i th8nk im just burning fish now cause i can't cull was mental warfare at it finest!!!! Wonder if trey passed his polygraph.. heard his mom screaming!!! Crazy stuff

[@adamliechty9354]

That's Tray's problem is his mom he is a pretty good kid away from her.

[@ronswinford4952]

I can see it now, at the next Classic show, Rick Clunn and Denny Brauer, the stories they could tell.

[@tonygreen4356]

Would like to know in BASS, the last angler DQ for failing polygraph? And when was the last time we know someone failed a Polygraph?

[@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus]

Been a minute since it was published that somebody failed one that’s for sure

[@brandonackersonfishing5738]

So JTs dad put out a video talking about JT passed the question about receiving waypoints from the MLF camera man. So you may have pulled the trigger a little early on that show before the event. So he failed but it wasn’t that.

[@areddfishing7473]

Isn’t there literally a boat distance rule and pushing people out of an area? Legit question

[@MaineBassmaster]

Gee was sharing epic water with a dude that marks that spot every time he shows up. You bet he went there once a day. That being said… Gee was awesome and even thought he had the win… I wished he did but Cory has been beat there by ounces too. A lot has come out since then and you know they talked about it. Gee did the right thing sticking up for himself but at the end of the day…. It’s water. Often community water. The top 5 ALL KILLED IT. The JT business isn’t a good look,

[@MaineBassmaster]

Oh shit… How can I forget… The Zona sign off… Lump in the throat. Same one I had when Clunn said goodbye.

[@Bbestfishing]

It does change things a little When Gee basically admitted he knew about the spot because he saw it on Live in years past. If he would’ve found it on his own and Chris did that I might’ve felt a little bad for him. Then pulling the “America” comment and going to get Trey was just silly. All he ended up doing is burning his fish and eventually losing…. 🤦🏻

[@Theburningseason]

I would donate money to bass if they gave everyone at every tourney a poly

[@brianstraubmusic3994]

😂😂😂 I’m ready when she is.

[@HydrillaFlipper]

Let’s not pretend CJ is rolling up on Christie, Hackney or a few others like he did Gee. He saw a baby face rookie who he knew he could bully on that spot. I didn’t have such a problem with it on Saturday since he stopped there on Friday briefly. I can kinda justify CJ fighting tooth and nail on Saturday to secure the AOY title and not going down without a fight. However, I think the bigger problem is on Sunday when he showed up again when he had little chance to win but could hinder Gee from winning. Just a bad look and this is coming from a fan of the Johnstons. To be honest, I am so sick of Thompkins and McKinney. Both super slimy. It’s sad when you’ve got class acts like Carl falling short of the classic (44th and first guy out) and you have people like JT who don’t do it the right way and take up those spots.

[@bobbycolson1957]
