Mike, Huge respect for you. I can tell that was a tough decision and that kind of deal is tailor made for single guys. It took a lot of guts to pull out of it. It's also easy to tell that you love Emily a lot. Mad respect. Keep blowing it up.

[@outfishingwithhugo270]

Flukemaster you the men

[@Gotdurt]

I agree. Honestly, I think the house might spell the end for the Googan squad; what makes collaborations interesting is one person leaving their element to go experience someone else's element, but now they are all in the same element. Cool that they are here in Texas and all, but I have my concerns... especially for Peric's life and Rob and John's sanity; I would never sign a contract to live with Peric, haha

[@II_JP_II]

MattHD and business deals... it changes the dynamics ...

[@MattHD85]

Jason Pittman you never truly know some one until you live with them

[@sinki19841984]

And until you make money with them.

[@II_JP_II]

Making money with them is fine. It's when you add in the business dynamic and decision making related to making money. It's like you can be a coworker with a friend, but when you have to have to go from friend/coworker to supervisor of that person then the dynamic will change. It's similar in business partnerships when decision have to be made. Compromise is not always an option in the context of those relationships and the result is that feelings can get hurt. It's the "I thought u were my friend" or "thought you had my back" complex lol... it sucks.

[@HunterLo25]

MattHD exactly what happened to me and my group of friends. I'm still friends with all of them but, a few of them no longer can be in the same room. Good for you Mike.. I would've done the same thing. Family first!

[@001fishman]

1Rod has more subscribers than any member of the googan squad. Sounds like they are butthurt because they didn't get 1robs sub base, so MTB downsized the contract. I bet this whole thing backfires and they lose subs lol.

[@joshualopez4148]

If you listened to anything he said, He said they were upset he backed out of the contract at the last minute. It was Mike's decision to not be part of the group because he felt that he could not fully commit. They are all still friends and will still collab in the near future.

[@001fishman]

Joshua Lopez And that in backing out, the deal wouldn't be as good for the other 4.

[@joshualopez4148]

The other members did their own video explaining the situation. That one and this one explains it. Both groups said the same thing. There's no hard feelings (as far as what both parties are presenting" and do have plans to collab together again.

[@lightbulb1033]

001fishman u can tell he held back at some points of he's conversation and if he felt like he work hard to get to where he is now to maybe lose or risk he's future for jonb,flair, apbassin no way.

[@otpfishing968]

Honestly Mike, I think you kinda-sorta dodged the bullet on that one. KZbin is the most successful media venture in modern history not because it follows the traditional formula of legacy media (wherein consumer and creator interact with one another through a commercial intermediary) but because it has created an entirely new dynamic. Creators, for the most part, interact directly with their audience, and are therefore not beholden to agendas, constraints, or financial obligations. So, whilst the rest of the guys are most likely making a sound financial decision short-term, they might (and I stress this, might) be sacrificing the very thing that allowed their channels to prosper in the first place; unabridged creative freedom.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Mike, with the fire you have to create unique fishing content, I have no doubts that you will continue to be the most successful fisherman out there! Don't worry about the negativity bud, I've still got your back. Any time you wanna come down to Austin or College Station, just let me know. Always happy to put you on some fish 👍

[@sbleezy]

The Googan Squad is now "the SELLOUT squad". No Googan's without Mike.

[@codyodom6114]

Honestly the FAZE and OG house collabs lost their appeal very quickly to me and everyone's content got watered down because of it. I know the remaining Googan's have tried assuring us that all of their vids aren't going to be the same as each other's but I highly doubt they'll be able to keep that promise. Their vids have been basically the same recently already and they haven't even been living together yet. I feel like going solo will be better in the long run. Having the independence to do what you want, when you want, how you want, instead of being tied down due to contractual obligations actually gives you more opportunity for unique content than the Googan sQuad.

[@dabeev]

10 minutes summed up into a sentence, Mike had a life set up in Maryland with a long time girlfriend, and house, and couldn't take years of his life to move to Texas and live like a bachelor. Pretty simple and reasonable. Unlike Rob who already lives in Texas with a wife and kid, it wasn't a big deal to commute to and from the "googan" house.

[@frankheck2854]

exactly, he has a house, not sure how he got it but he has one, don't work a 9-5, travels to fish and get paid for KZbin, what else do you need until this KZbin fishing shenanigans fade

[@SuaSponte75]

He got his house by being a former part owner of a gaming company. Not to mention veteran's pay and other sources of legal income that made him legimate money like part ownership in a coffee company as well. His own apparel line that sells out like crazy... So yeah those are just a couple reasons as to why he already had a house in a state he grew up in and met his high school sweetheart in and is about to move into a brand new house as well. Stop hating on people when you have no knowledge of the person and what they have done or been through to get to where they are today. Dunskie.

[@InfinitePlush]

States my statement is untrue based on assumption. However, you supply assumptions and opinions in an effort to validate your beleifs. I will believe it's not about money when they make their videos non monitized.

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Dont Worry , your comment was based on assumption. Did they say all they wanted was money...no. Did Mike say all he wanted was quality of life...no. Those are your assumptions, and apparently reading and assimilation are difficult for you. I said, "Rob has a family" which is true. Then I said, "Rob is perfectly sound with the move", move meaning contract...which is also true. Then I said, "Mike wanted something different, does not make any of these guys bad", which is also true. These are not attempts to validate my "beleifs" (seriously, that's how you spell it), those are called observations. Despite your hatred or side picking, I hope they all make money and have a good quality of life. They are not on You Tube to go broke. Geez, just a little common sense...please.

[@InfinitePlush]

Dave Phillips I am still failing to see your evidence proving my statements false other than your assumptions based on the way you interpret ones statements. I never claimed my statements weren't assumtions, you are the one creating an argument on the Internet over your beliefs. Rather you feel your feelings and view are correct is irrelevant. They are still based on your opinions and assumptions of some facts and articulations. I have spread no hatred towards anyone. I have a really crazy suggestion for you. If you don't like something you read, Ignore it and move on instead of creating an argument because you beleive you are right in every aspect on the subject matter.

I'm 27 with a serious gf that I plan to marry and she has a great job. It would be unfair for me to ask her to up and move or just leave her to go make collaboration videos. Also, Jon, flair and ap are kids. They are able to make this move and good for them. I'm glad they are taking opportunities and running with them. But I feel if you asked rob to move across the country things might be a bit different. Maybe it's just a coincidence that the googan house is close to rob. Keep doing your thing mike.

[@tedmccarthy1401]

Dustin Jennette when you really brake it down and look at it. I think that it is all about Rob, he is the business part of the squad. I really think that the others pretty much do whatever he says and you can see that all their videos have changed to what he wanted to do. They are just rich and youtube famous

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Ted, not true at all, but those are mere assumptions you're making with no factual bases. KZbinrs can not be famous without subs. These guys have worked hard to get what they have and probably deserve it, but your jealousy is quite apparent.

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Leon Koppeschaar my support is with my family. KZbin is just entertainment, and not to be take to the state of mind you're in drama queen. I watch all of them an enjoy watching all of them...no sides...nobodies picking teams here. They are old enough to make their own decisions and don't need mine or your approvals. They have all said what happened and no one has any resentment towards anyone. Just enjoy the vidja's and shut up.

[@jthigdon432]

Leading off of your point about Jon, ap, and flair being kids, in my opinion and my thought is they moved to Texas because yes they're kids and lunkers can be a part of it while still being around his wife and kids. I think it was just a loss for one of the members. If they would've gone to where mike lives, I think rob would not be able to make it. That's just my opinion. I think mike made a smart move

[@randomlyweirdjeff4638]

its all good ive heard both sides and no judgement yall are still great anglers keep fishing my friend, you gotta do what is best for you.

[@thwompalot5000]

Thank you Mike for being a class act. That's the kind of guy I always thought you were and you didn't let me down. Stay focused on your own content because we all love it and many of us never would have even heard of the others without seeing your recommended list. Good on ya!!

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

You can be part of my salty squad

[@gulp_man1026]

[@jasonm6540]

Don't worry Mike's got something the googans don't.... two smoken hot sisters 😉👊🏼

[@wickedbassn]

[@kentcthahauler5354]

I only watch Relatable KZbin FisherMen 1.DallmyD 2. 1Rod 3. LakeforkGuy and 4. TylersReelFishing.....Who are these Googan people!??

[@soevasive]

RunningALL 48 watch bamabass. I really don't watch any of these googans anymore. Content started to drift off after a while

[@derekmason7778]

RunningALL 48 sbfishing is a good one hes starting to get more subs to. good fisgerman with alot of good fishing vids

[@wanderingdruid6349]

Mike, I am a middle-aged man who had given up on fishing, thinking that the local places were all fished out. I watched a video of you fishing in Columbia and Ellicott City where I spent my college years and man I was hooked! I watched all your videos and still do,. I bought new equipment, a float tube, and kayaks for my wife and I because of the spark you started! I have watched the videos of the rest of the Googan Squad and have not found them as interesting and exciting as your channel. Thank you for your time and effort putting out your vids, I look forward to each one!

[@JDeaver51]

You're truly a stand-up dude. I hope your future is bright. Can't wait to watch more of your vids. New Sub for sure!

[@MoreThanFishing]

Googan Squad is like Walking Dead series without Glenn! Lol

[@cjopper4581]

[@Andrew-gh7qt]

I click on the ads for you mike

[@Handleneeds3ormorecharacters84]

This is very good, the ending reminded me of like the end of a tv series, very well done but very sad too. To be honest I've always like you more on other people's channels as I felt your real character came out more, like you were more you when you weren't behind the camera, or you are just able to put on one hell of a show when in front of other people's cameras. I hope you all realize its all love and collab a lot this coming year and so on.

[@JTW1451]

You were the first person I started watching when I got into fishing seriously, and all of your videos are great and I will continue to follow all of your great fishing vids keep it up!!!

[@ps3Rambo21]

well seeing the same content on multiple channels is really repetitive and over-saturated. i will probably view alot more of your videos compared to theirs.

[@jholl7339]

+1. Not planning to sub the squad, anyway. Can't stand AP and Flair.

[@ps3Rambo21]

def. fuck being tied down to a contract. when u have 500,000 subs like onerod, that is freedom. that itself is worth it.

[@SuperDave44Mag]

Rambo21, Mike is tied down to several sponsored contracts. All any of these guys are doing is trying to make a good living doing what they love to do. You can be jealous or stupid, but don't be both.

[@jholl7339]

Aw, did I just piss on Dave's man-crush? hehe!

[@cnl93]

Mike is the G.O.A.T!! 🐑

[@jackhemphill8395]

Goat meaning Going Outside And Tackling

[@DaBarbs]

It's all about your personal priorities, i admire you for that. cant wait to see your 2017 vids amd what your biggest bass will be.

[@magnatracker]

Great way to explain the situation. You are the only one handling this in a respectable way. Too bad it couldn't work out for all of you. Best of luck for 2017 man.

[@HuntDawg146]

Watching 1rod not in his happy voice while explaining why he wasn't in the Googan Squad anymore, definitely mad me feel pretty sad. I hope there isn't to much beef and yall at least do collaborations in the future.

[@ChrisBaseball19]

I get it Mike, I really do. You're an 26(?) year old man who's been in a relationship for a long time. To jeopardize something like that for the sake of moving 1,000 miles to live with your buddies seems irresponsible and down right immature. If you were in the same situation as the other Googans (young and single) it would make sense to be with them, from both a personal and business perspective. At the end of the day, I'll watch everyone's content and I'm just glad, on the surface at least, there seems to be no bad blood.

[@TheVincent98]

Chris Joseph yes exactly! People are bashing the others for leaving but they had nothing really to tie them down so why not? I love all them and their videos and this is a way for them to move forward and perhaps do better for themselves and so can 1Rod! I wish them all the best and hope they all do well!

[@peytonleaptrot9855]

Chris Joseph wrong, lunkerstv has a wife and kid

[@ChrisBaseball19]

peyton leaptrot This is true, but Rob isn't living in the house obviously. They purposely moved to the DFW area so Rob didn't have to move. Mike's choice, from the way he described it, came after he realized that being with his girlfriend and maybe future wife was more important than living with the Googan Squad a 1,000 miles away. A mature and responsible move on his part. Family > pleasing a bunch of 13 year olds on the internet.

[@KyleMx4]

Been subbed since under 10k now almost 500k. Always been my fav fishing channel

[@andrew_dudinetz7608]

Great vid man. Glad to see an explanation on the squad

[@TTGOz]

Wait, so if Rob isn't living in the crib beacuse he has his own house and wife/kid, why couldn't they let you be part of it and still collab at least?

[@ryanfeehan4304]

Braden Nielsen robs house is like 5-10 minutes away from there new house

[@tegisogreen4665]

Braden Nielsen he lives in Texas pretty close to the Googan house

[@simonhenhoeffer8934]

Braden Nielsen rob lives near the googan house so it doesnt affect him

[@wallstar2319]

so why didnt they do it in Maryland? Will rob still be in the googan squad? 0.o....tune in for the next episode of Dragon ball z to find out.

[@DurealzForReal]

because everythings bigger in texas

[@AmmarShaik7]

This is like one of those "why I left FaZe videos"

[@coryklein84]

Mike, im so glad you took the high road on this. good for you!!! You did what was best for you and your family. Good things happen to good people.

[@EBspeciesfishing]

We're behind you more than ever Mike! I was always a casual observer to your vids, but after hearing everything your subs are saying about you I just sub'd & plan to watch more of your videos! Tough decision, but at the end of the day the most important thing in life are your relationships & family.

[@toshow237]

Mikes channel is unique from the googans his content is far better and more exciting he was the first fishing channel I found and by far the best

[@visualkeirockstar]

The others guys are boring anyways. I only like watching Peric break expensive drone.

[@2high2die]

I'm glad you made a well-sorted decision. It's your life after all. And you were replaced by the Mighty LFG!!!!!!

[@brte728]

Cant be replaced if you were never part of something

[@blindman_outdoors6707]

hey man, it's a hard choice, they don't blame you for it. I still like watching your videos. keep it up man.

[@bigfishcb]

Mad respect for you bro. As much as I would love to have a KZbin fishing channel I would be afraid of it taking away what I love most about fishing. Their is business and then their is fishing, I go fishing to get away from business and all the other things in life that wear you out. Once you mix business with fishing it no longer would be fun in my opinion. God speed!

[@vaypr1446]

Robs hair was still the best lol

[@undergroundchuckeytennesse2526]

1.2 million subs ... miss you on the squad but glad all worked out for you and boy do we enjoy your videos.

[@Thedarcyboys]

The rest of the squad don't realise how down to earth and friendly you are, even though you are annoying at times you are a good and honest friend. I'd fish with you anyday Mike, keep fishing

[@mrpleezy5275]

Ciarand123 yeah for real I think his super chill out

[@hunters.7317]

Mike, I never comment on videos, and I doubt you'll even see this, but I want you to know that I think this video is pure class on your part. Your videos brighten my day every time you upload. Do your thing, man! Much love and respect to you.

[@marshallh8215]

@Sun Cease youre a loser

[@dieseldong4781]

@Zachary Walter yeah he was respectful in the video but if you read comments he hears every comment bashing the googan squad cuz hes a two-faced punk

[@ekim-us3917]

good job mike. all business decisions with friends is tough. always go with your gut and heart. keep up the awesome videos...my son and I enjoy watching them!! if ever in Southern California, hit me up. we ll some some pier fishing like you've never seen before haha trust 👍🏻

[@ScottyRusher8-3]

I went back to watch to video again because of how the team split, but it was truly great to see get accepted back in recently. Get your bag bro, you deserve it.

[@krejcithegreat562]

you're cooler anyway

[@tyleryaakub4657]

You can tell how hard it was to make this vid

[@kansasbassfishing7404]

Tyler Yaakub yes This one hurt a little for him I think to

[@davidyang5746]

hey mike, big fan. i never knew who the rest of the googan squad was until i started watching your channel. i still check your channel everyday for new video, your doing great keep it up!

[@brandonlowe6817]

dude, i have some questions about setups for filming yourself. What would be a good start?

[@SpicyRamenNow]

7 years is a long time without a ring on that finger bro. *wink wink

[@Studio2770]

Gotta land that.

[@Michigan_pK]

yep. Ring her up before she finishes school otherwise she may drop ya. Great videos man and keep fishing.

[@austendeguara1485]

I was gonna say something, then i scrolled down.

[@davidmann9467]

So true, give her a little line but make sure you land her before she's tired out.
