[@brianedgeman7549]

I always enjoy your videos can’t wait for next season. And I hope AA is doing okay since his appendix surgery

[@WheelerFishing]

He’s been doing great! Talked to him just the other day. It’s hard for him to stay still, lol he’s been working on his shop with his down time.

[@emptytombprod]

[@Everydayfishing]

Wow, comparing this to the videos from the guys largemouth fishing in the grass... just nuts. Way more smallmouth out there - SM was definitely the right choice but you made it look easy! I know for sure it wasn't. Nice work!

KVD the GOAT but Jacob got a lot of time ahead of him. When it's all said and done...D!NG.

Look at those guys flocking to you

[@daleb2786]

toss challenge is fun to watch

[@WheelerFishing]

We have a good time with those

[@jonathancarter3999]

Title should be “ROBBED FOR $100,000 DOLLARS!”

[@tannerplumlee2473]

Sucks you lost AOY to a guy that should’ve been DQ’d from a previous event.

[@WheelerFishing]

Man it’s tough to lose by a fish being caught twice for sure. I will say per the rule if he didn’t see it both times he did not break the rule and shouldn’t be disqualified. It was just a really badly written rule and those anglers played a game that 90%+ of us wouldn’t allow our self to go.

[@daleb2786]

would love the house to do a video with Adrian and y'all salt water fishing

[@WheelerFishing]

We need to soon for sure!

[@pubmaster1117]

What app is that at 18:00

[@WheelerFishing]

Windfinder

[@willvanderhoeven8119]

Matt is a great angler but it just feels like the AOY title has a cloud over it. I personally feel like it is JW. Regardless appreciate the content and the effort you put into the fishing industry.

[@daleb2786]

they shouldn't have cut off the fishing zone

[@WheelerFishing]

I agree

[@jasonphillips1803]

Nothing like watching a spoiled man playing a video game on the front of his boat. Wow. M.L.F. is so great😊

[@markdaigle5736]

Stfu you just hatin, just mad you can’t perform like him on the water. He’s truly one of the greatest to ever do it

[@1080760]

😂😂😂😂, love when jealousy comes out. Just remember all this technology just got good in last 3yrs. Wonder what jacob did for the 15yrs prior he was winning everything 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ keep hating bud👍

[@jasonphillips1803]

@@1080760 I'm a fan just stating the obvious. Ask him about his lie detector tests

[@WheelerFishing]

@@jasonphillips1803 You can comment all you want about not liking me but don’t spread lies man. When you start to question some one’s integrity you better be dang sure you know what you’re talking about.
