[@mjmfishingg545]

Man he is quick witted! He answered those questions almost instantaneously pretty well too!

[@Gman11149]

mike is the boss hes one of my favorite anglers i naturaly do the things he says were just alike and he has a boss personality

[@56Axis]

great interview..love his honesty. He's my favorite pro fisherman. :)

[@thracianx]

A big thank you to Mike for his time. Honorable.

[@tg1740]

This interview made me a new fan of Mike. Humble honest professional.

[@bigaproduxions117x6]

Ike is just great, he’s got a deep passion for fishing. I bought two revo ikes just because they have his name on them and they look great. Very nice reels too

[@jamesc6137]

same age and have kept an eye on his entire career here and there. Gen x’er through and through. has made me keep picking the rods up… even after long periods of lay offs. always love his fishing

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@erichoffman2014]

Thanks Mike! Go get 'em!

[@4pples]

Thanks to the interviewer for all the deep diverse questions! Great info!

[@Hatchetman6971]

Mike is my fav angler because of attitude, and if he's in your tournament you better be catching fish, cause he's gonna load the live well. Mike, bring back your "City Limits" TV show.

[@nflisrigged1395]

I have his rod in the power series and delay series 6'8 delay and 7'2 power Love em !!!!!!

[@jimmin9802]

Thanks for the question answer! Enjoyed it.

[@aldomarch3s3]

Great job Ike . Miss watching city limits. Screw fishing it's windy cold .

[@nsim33.]

REALIST INTERVIEW EVER. Good stuff bro. Ive seen this vid like 10x

[@thegooch7206]

I met mike a few years ago at a lake fishing and I talked to him for a few, Really kool dude. I also thought by now he would've had that reality show he talked about.

[@bassresource]

Thank you!!

[@bassresource]

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!

[@zootedsuit]

8:26 after the question he notes that it was key he had his life vest on. Wear them!!! When you are fully clothed, and drop into cold water on a windy/wavy day it's extremely difficult to keep your head above water.

[@22grg]

Very informative interview,thank you

[@arends698]

If you watch this a 2nd time, you can learn some things. For some reason I could never quite pitch right until watching Ike for a while. Great video

[@leonardowellingtonramosram4752]

Good video. Thanks for tips Mike!

[@brandoncollins6639]

That fish broke his line and he grabbed the line.... Still an amazing catch tho!!

[@MadSmokerBBQ]

Great video!

[@maschi821]

awesome video. thank you so much

[@usaoutdoors]

Yep, that's a duck blind for sure. Good fishing structure! They can be used year around :)

[@TopPredatorFishing]

Thumbs up for mike

[@ProMainMan]

Watching you here in Tulsa/Grand Lake. Looking good man!!! Win the whole damn thing man.

[@smallies7834]

I AM WITH YOU ON THE LONG A!!!!! I dont know how many fish in march i have caught at kerr lake or any other lake

[@VisualAFMedia]

People wont like this but Ike is the future of bass fishing. I appreciate his emotion and his youthfulness. I think the sport needs a transcendent figure to bridge the gap between old and youth. The good ole boy past hurts/haunts the sport's image and culture. I hope we watch Ike in 20 years like we watch Dance and Martin now.

[@msw812]

Red River - Shreveport and Bossier City, La. Great angler on a great fishery!

[@tetherctrl]

Its hard to portray sarcasm in a text. I meant nothing by it and happen to like Mike. He is a great fisherman with a ton of knowledge on bass fishing. My second favorite soft plastic is berkly havoc, devil spear (Iaconelli design). I noticed a few things he would normally not do this time of year, but I'm sure it was because of the interview. Sorry bud if you were offended, I was just pickin with him.

[@eggshaker]

You da man Ike!

[@TheCheaterFilms]

thanks im new to the whole video making thing.

[@Thesamonwar]

Great tips!

[@Brian-fz1xj]

A really great video. Thanks alot

[@yt_life1610]

That was a cool video. I enjoyed it

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[@michiganbassin22]

IKE IS THE MAN

[@osteenjoseph]

He is right about the old baggily, bait they don't make them like that anymore.

[@AndrewMcGhie]

8:30-8:37 LOL... Lake Eries my home lake, he's not kidding.

[@rnnrivero]

The "Ripping" technique Mike was talking about would be something I would like to try, but knowing myself, I would lose the first crankbait I throw into the grass.

[@12danette]

Lake marion, lake murray im not lookin to get in some now just some in the winter

[@bassresource]

Near Shreveport.

[@ThaBassWhisperer]

they mark smaller details, sure you can find that stuff on a paper map, but you can find more with electronics

[@godzilla633]

when his lure was snag, how did ike get his lure out the way he did it?

[@MWA78]

I really like Mike when he is NOT screaming!!!

[@MWA78]

Dude I didnt know you had your own stuff! were can you buy it?

[@JohnnyJenkins]

@TeamGlades haha hes practice fishing for a major event.. At most points in the day hes not actually fishing to get a strike. He's covering water to piece things together. Then when the moneys on the line he'll fish slower. You watch good fisherman on the lake and you'll notice that each day they will slow down generally more and more, atleast in the amount of water they cover. Thats Big League!

[@prokhk]

One I saw someone catch a huge umbrella!

[@tetherctrl]

What do i win? JK Great videos man. BTW, where about on the Red?

[@strikeking14]

This is from a pretty long time ago. This was back when Tru tungsten was still around and when he was still sponsored by Diawa.

[@tetherctrl]

Is this the red river Louisiana?

[@frankdrebin9707]

i caught a bicycle tire one day. my mistake was throwing it back. hooked it the very next day

[@kalaivaninathan5954]

He is best fisherman

[@fishthedayaway97]

i was thinkin the same thing, uhh cold weather = slower fishing???? lol

[@ChivasUsaFan16]

was that a duck blind at 3:13?

[@johnunderwood3132]

That looks like Jersey water. Where did you shoot this video

[@realbigdawg91]

best vid

[@nickb4302]

What happened to the boat after he got ejected? Did he ever tell you? How did it stop?

[@jr1398]

iv caught a old trot line with a 20 pound blue cat on it. thats one of the weirdest thing iv caught fishing

[@ADcates26]

He's caught fishing rods with fish on em. That's pretty dang funny.

[@tristinbailey7565]

Was he using a swim jig? Someone please reply thanks!!

[@getthislegit2050]

*whats the weirdest thing you ever caught?* Mike-“That I can say on tape?” Lol

[@bassresource]

He was wearing a killswitch lanyard, so the boat came to a stop on its own.

[@jyankeesrock]

@nickthoj this was from a while ago when he was with diawa.

[@OhioRiverBassin]

what baits did he fish

[@Jeffwalleye]

Nice

[@bassresource]

Glad you liked it Jeff!

[@brooxmahr6179]

fishing in december must be tough

[@Samuelelias18]

ya i think so!

[@crazysarcasm211]

he reels fast as hell

[@vegasvato55]

I would give almost anything i have to see some slow motion close up spool control videos.

[@HobbyKing1000]

Whats the closest big lake to you?

[@Blackpanther_risen]

Mike, you're a pro.....how come you're not catching any fish during this video?

[@punk12314]

Hlubkoj1011 Because he isn't like other pros where as soon as they catch a fish they start filming.

[@COCOMELKABLE]

i just fun fished in my last tournament and won

[@12danette]

how do i get in a turnoment

[@TheCheaterFilms]

This video is to show what professionals do when theyre NOT catching fish. Which is just as importnat if not MORE important than what theyre doing when they're catching fish. What are they doing when they're not catching fish? What did they change to make them catch fish? i find this more informative than watching some knob try to sell me his "revolutionary" soft plastic.

[@XTheBassAssassinX]

theres a drawing online, for a day with ike go enter!

[@dturcott27]

Bagleys? What is that?

[@HobbyKing1000]

where do you live?

[@36drifterboy]

@itsmysublime lol yeah but probably just for fun and not competatively

[@12danette]

Conway, SC

[@tetherctrl]

Ike they were in the shallow murky water because as every great fisherman knows, murky water warms up faster than clear and shallow water warms up faster than deep. Most likely the shad were in there using the wood as cover. Come on man!! You know this!! :)

[@meejlis7]

Haha "I've caught rods with fish still on em"

[@edvartsvingen1607]

JNASTY brought me here!

[@chrisd9551]

When he started to lose his balance at about 3 minute mark, I would have asked him if he has ever fallen outta the boat

[@nickthoj]

funny he has all daiwa stuff still

[@thisisntbobby]

watch the end

[@ChivasUsaFan16]

HEY HEY I LIVE IN ALABAMA WERE NOT LIKE THAT

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

shoot if I'd known that he was answering fans questions I would've submitted this: Why do you think most anglers including yourself cast with your right hand then switch it over to your left to reel? When clearly you can retrieve with your left hand!

[@TheFinja]

I think I can answer that. Back when baitcasters first came out, they were right handed retrieve only, up until recently the manufactures were getting more requests from anglers to develop left handed retrieves. It makes sense considering a majority of the population is right handed. Thats why a lot of these seasoned pro anglers use right handed, they're just used it. There isnt an advantage to either, just whatever your comfortable with!

[@bookmaster240]

good question. I'm right handed but I'm comfortable casting with my left hand so I don't have to switch hands. I prefer cranking with my right hand, otherwise I'd get an LH reel. baitcasting reels have traditionally been RH crank, so that's why most people use them. there are still more RH reels on the market than LH. I'm not really sure why, but at this point it's tradition.

[@ChivasUsaFan16]

i know we aint even like that down here

[@tannercleveland3423]

I think this video inparticular is not so much about the fish, its just focuses on Mike's life and fishing techniques.

[@steveking8548]

I thought I would learn something here. I'm not interested in being his best friend or knowing his life history, I'm interested in fishing information!

[@bassresource]

Then watch the whole video. Thanks!

[@swburton316]

...??? actually that's false lol. the reel has a lot to do with it. if he's cranking with a 5.0 or 5.4:1, he's gonna have to reel a lot faster to bring in as much line. lots of guys use the lower gear ratios for crankbaits, big spinnerbaits, etc because there's less torque while pulling the bait through the water. but, then you have to crank a little faster.

[@jordanowens8781]

That was a chatterbait he was fishing not a creature bait.

[@AcousticBlip]

I think he needs to size down on the croakies lol

[@CircaEmerge]

because he's using a baitcasting reel

[@csxdjxmax]

i thought he doesnt use daiwa anymore seems he sponsored by abu garcia,but in this video hes was using daiwa steez combo....

[@skhylerbowell9569]

look at all of the ducks

[@matta6991]

i know right

[@travis1874]

research=paying for local knowledge LOL

[@joel5673ify]

Mike seems to fish ALOT of jigs

[@bassresource]

Apparently you didn't watch the whole video then.
