[@ericlugo5346]

You are a super inspirational person, I broke my leg a month ago and I spend every day watching your videos. Learning about the different techniques you use in the tournament. Much success in everything you set your mind to always and God bless you.

[@nickschroeder2930]

Just imagine all the big fish you fly by making the long runs to wherever. Doesn’t seem necessary. But fun. 😊

[@NLBNMavrick-ttv]

Love the vids man keep it up

[@TheMRVR6]

Best of luck this 2023 season!💯

[@WolverineXXXX]

Production is top notch.

[@WheelerFishing]

Thank you sir! Brody tries every now and then

[@Stiksfishingchannel]

[@dennisbrown2740]

I was at the big O same time as you, seen you a couple of times on the water, your right about all the hot spots being crowded. We just fish for fun but caught plenty of Dings.

[@jesustorrez4520]

Man you love the game good luck this year your onit

[@eltondufrane4249]

Good luck pulling for you iam getting back into tournament fish had to take 5 years of medical getting new boat love your new boat

[@tred9951]

Can’t wait till y’all come back to north la a 13.58 was caught the other day on Bussey

[@sargemarine3709]

1986, 4th of July weekend, Dixie Co. Florida. Caught 2, 10 pounders out of the same 4ft, hydrilla hole, in 20 minutes. Only 10's I have ever caught. Was with a fellow Marine Earl Hodge. In that Bass Tracker 1. I also served with a Marine, An artist, as well as an aviation Marine , in Cherry Point, that painted my flightline ears for me, while we were in the corps. He lives somewhere on that lake, and goes by Gator. Wish I could fish with him. We served together in the early 80's, if he sees this. LOL

[@trickytrav88]

If thats all your cursed with , your dpung great brother. Awesome job i hope you get em good this year. God speed and tight lines son

Lets go wheeler! Im ready to watch day 2 qualifying tomorrow

[@WheelerFishing]

Unfortunately not going to be sticking too many man but appreciate you!! Let me know what you think about the cut line drama!! I wish I could watch just to see how that is going to be in this format

[@tomstclair961]

Take notes Gentleman!! Ding Ding Ding. Class is in session!! 😅😅😅 Now that kinda of decision making is what makes you a world champion right there.. To decide to go fish the little off pools from the main spawning areas, being pressured.. That's smart !! It paid off big time. Congratulations on that smooth move. 🎣💪💪💰💰🏦

[@mjones1275]

Nice video. Keep them coming. Rod length, power and action? Been trying to find good frog rod.

[@Dubz_fishing_SA]

Love the videos and the new camera boat perspective! My only criticism is that the camera man needs to find a way to stabilise the shots, there’s lots of shaking 🙈 Watching from South Africa!

[@WheelerFishing]

Oh no doubt! That was on 600mm

[@cmcoleman66]

Really cool video…

[@brianrobinson9979]

I feel like every time I watch Scott Martin's youtube videos when he's fishing Okeechobee he's almost always on the big grass flats and pad fields flipping or swimming something through them. I don't think I've ever seen him flipping the banks

[@jayb8329]

Best of luck this season and the boat looks amazing 👏 👌 no hot foot? Will this he the official tourney boat or another one coming? Thanks and continued blessings 🙌

[@txfish6361]

Bad-luck-Brodie is no more. So glad to hear it. Because I like him.

[@MuahMan]

This is my home lake, (West Palm Beach), and I struggle mightily here. The water is stained so dark I can't see my lure after 4".

[@jesseboyden3119]

That's insane the gator chasing your frog

[@Chatham52]

I have to say, I really miss the score tracker updates and the catch as many as you can format.

[@therealfreekshow]

yea i agree i started watching MLF because it helps with the fishes health now its just bassmaster again sadley

[@WheelerFishing]

@@therealfreekshow the Bass Pro Tour is still Catch, Weigh & Release on the boat

[@mikegiles5162]

@@therealfreekshow y’all realize this isn’t a Bass Pro Tour event right? He fishes more than one circuit.

[@hunterh1033]

Some image stabilization for that camera guy in the other boat might be a good investment...

[@Thechubbypig918]

What did you throw in the net to the guy in the boat?

[@jaidonlovett6185]

Ahahaha you were talking about how they flooded the canal instead of locking 15 boats at one time. They figured out a month prior when the high school series fished just how much of a pain that would be we sat to lock through for a good 2 hours😂😂

[@WheelerFishing]

😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@bradcoco5224]

It seems the new boat is super slow out of the hole. Is that just the video or is it that slow?

[@williamknight5142]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Sprint6677]

Need to get rid of the Tiktok shakey random zooming camera stuff. Other than that, great to see vids of you back on the water.

[@garyderuiter1780]

Do you find it better to use lighter color baits when it’s sunny outside

[@WheelerFishing]

Depends on water clarity

[@Atheos119]

Man, those little mats up the river usually only hold small ones in my experience. They load up with some big ones post spawn it seems but I would have stayed around the west end of the lake.

[@joshdavis7288]

Even though it’s biggest 5 … I thought it was still catch, weigh, release. Hate seeing this format. That’s why I loved MLF.

[@devinwillis7787]

It still is. This is the invitationals not the bpt

[@WheelerFishing]

The bass pro tour is stull catch weigh release

[@jesseboyden3119]

Anyone notice all the hole shot footage 🤔😏 I see what ur doin lol

[@fishncoach8699]

Camera guy with no official in the boat? What tourney was this?

What’s your deal with reels? Testing others products?

Mostly shimano now but still waiting on some

Dang there was a bug flying around in front of Brodys camera and I kept swatting at my phone.

[@davidhidalgo5662]

Just like MDJ you have rust when it comes to this style of fishing since you were so used to MLF the way it has been for years now especially with all your domination. Good luck this season hope to see you again on the podium.

[@gregc2621]

No rust

[@89scarberry]

These jumpy edits and Shakey cameras might be the deal for the young guys but it drives me crazy. I can't finish a video like this. Just some feedback from a nobody subscriber

[@johnkiddle379]

Really not liking the new format. It now seems that luck outweighs skill . As MDJ says, not much going on, then three big ones in a row. I am a great proponent of the every fish over a set weight counts. Not to mention putting all those referees that used to accompany anglers out of work. No fish landing violations when fish are bounced off the deck, as pretty as that deck may be, can't be good for fish welfare, also fish are not returned where they were caught. I miss the score tracker. It added tension to the viewing, I remember willing fish onto your hook when it was close, in the finishing period of the championship round. Nice to see the DINK! again. Knew you would do well no matter how many hurdles you have to traverse. Good job JW.

[@Twangtown7]

I like the old format much better. Not only was it more fun to watch, but better for the fish. MLF must not care about bass conservation anymore. Old format almost no mortality rate. With weigh-ins that goes up. And now guys are allowed to boat flip the fish, letting them smash down on the boat deck (not saying you). And the taking spawning bass off beds is never a good thing.

[@mikegiles5162]

None of that is true. This isn’t a Bass Pro Tour tournament. This is an Invitational tournament which has too many competitors for a Marshall in every boat to weigh fish. The bass pro tour still has catch weigh and release and still has fish landing violations.

[@Twangtown7]

@@mikegiles5162 You have it backwards. MLF always had officials in the boat and it was live scoring with catch and release. BASS had the 5 fish limit/weigh-ins.

[@mikegiles5162]

@@Twangtown7 no sir. MLF is the organization that BPT, the invitationals and the Toyota series operate under. BPT is the top tier catch weigh release that you’re thinking of. This tournament is the invitationals, formerly the pro circuit, and they have never had officials in their boats.

[@Twangtown7]

@@mikegiles5162 Oh gotcha...thanks for the info.

[@tankspank9418]

Absolutely hate that MLF is doing weigh ins again put a Marshall in the boat and weigh them and put em’ back

Than there is the idiots that complain that these pros can only catch fish on livescope. Haha 😁😄 Jacob and a ton of Bass fisherman can catch fish without livescope. People have to stop crying about FFS and grow up!
