WINNING the 2024 Bassmaster CLASSIC | An Original Film

[@jtreacy86]

This guy used to mow my lawn! It's awesome to see him living his dreams now.

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Coolest comment. Humbled, thank you!

[@scottfrost8956]

Bad ass!!! Dreams do come true!!!

[@MyChaoticFishing]

@@scottfrost8956 it only works if you work it 💪💪

[@ItzSpacr]

So sick. Thank Jesus!!

[@waynerain2372]

He is good people. Mowing lawns is an honest way to make a living.

[@H2Oman_fishing]

Congratulations brother! I mow lawns for a living and I think about you everyday at work...

[@rogerthompson4771]

All I can say is WOW! I put this unbelievable production up on the big screen tv and watched it like a movie. It was truly remarkable! Someone in the comments said you should market this to Netflix. I wholeheartedly agree 110%! Amazing camera/editing work and amazing fishing Justin. Thank you for sharing this journey. Congrats CHAMP and hope you secure the AOY next.

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Thanks so much, wow that’s awesome and I appreciate it! (So does my camera man) haha!

[@rogerthompson4771]

@justinhamnerfishing I consume a bunch of KZbin fishing content and this was amazing. Just like watching a movie. Your camera man did a fantastic job! I live in Massachusetts and have fished Champlain numerous times. Hoping I can make the trip up there to watch some weigh ins and shake your hand in person, but if not, good luck up North and get that AOY! 👊

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Really appreciate that!

[@deline8ed619]

That’s actually an excellent idea. The average joe doesn’t want to necessarily just watch a sport in action, or even a highlight reel. Never mind when that sport is bass fishing. They want to see the process and the story behind it. They want someone they can relate to and root for. Videos like this are a great way to “market” the sport outside the fishing industry. Trust me, i don’t love the idea of monetizing a dream, but there’s a win-win in there somewhere. And , as we all know, the reality is that it’s the non endemic dollars that could truly grow tournament bass fishing and its longevity for those anglers.

[@justinperkins4469]

Seriously the best classic video I have ever seen. The way you conduct yourself, how down to earth you are. I was getting emotional watching. Thank the Good Lord you recorded everything. Start your KZbin channel. We will all learn and follow you. Congratulations man! Winning the Classic. Your a beast with a jerk bait

[@justinhamnerfishing]

This is humbling, thank you so much. I really appreciate the support!

[@MyChaoticFishing]

My 6 y/o watching this and says, “that man is following his dreams and even when it got tough, he didn’t give up” 👏👏

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Wow, that’s truly humbling thank you!

[@MyChaoticFishing]

@@justinhamnerfishing we’ve preached it to him from day 1 and it was a proud dad moment when he identified it in someone else. 22.1 is still in striking distance #NeverGiveUp 🤘🤘

[@hytekrednekbama4400]

I am a Northport man myself. I too love bass fishing ever since I was 7 or 8. Its a huge part of my life. Congratulations brother! You deserve it, and you earned it! I enjoyed this video tremendously. I would love more youtube vids from you on fishing and whatever else you like, but I do understand if you are not in to that as it would take away from your true love, Bas Fishing. Also, I met your brother not too long ago, and his little dogs. Both of yall seem so humble and friendly. Never change.

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Roll Tide! Thanks so so much, means a lot! New video coming out this week!

[@HOOKD-UP]

Incredible Justin! I just casted a reel again for the first time since i was 7 and now im 25. I didnt know id love it so much. Im so grateful to have a beautiful caring woman by my aide who loves fishing too and pushes me to be better at everything i do. Maybe one day ill see you on a lake somewhere. Congratulations from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 👏

[@justinhamnerfishing]

That’s amazing! Thanks so much! Best of luck on the water!

[@Level.up.fishing]

This is what it’s all about! The raw emotion, the hard work, the non stop grind to get where you are standing. Hearing you on Rudd and Serious Angler pre classic calling your shot, to watching you win on bass live, to rewatching this at 2 am, it’s an incredible journey and anyone who has a passion for the sport needs to watch this. Only one other time have I been so moved emotionally by a classic win, and that was Jordan Lee’s first classic win on my home lake of Conroe. Can’t wait to see ya in ‘25

[@justinhamnerfishing]

Wow the kind words and support sure means a lot, thank you so much. All the best!

[@scottmeyerfishing]

Man talk about the feels all over. What a fisherman, what a winner and what a human being!! When your wife helped you onto your boat it made my wife very emotional, they worry for us when we are out on that water. Couldn’t be more proud of someone I don’t know personally!

[@justinhamnerfishing]

They really do! They sacrifice a ton. Thanks so much for the kind words! Appreciate ya!

[@CadenReelsPNW]

from drop shot tips to winning the bass master classic. insane work!

So happy to see you win the Classic ! Well deserved victory for sure ! The video is a well done , cinematic quality video ! Probably one of the best tournament videos I’ve seen on KZbin ! Keep up the great work on the Elite Series and with the behind the scenes videos . I see a Blue trophy coming real soon in your future , possibly on Smith Lake ? In contention for AOY as well . Might as well get a trifecta , with Classic , Elite Series and Angler of the Year trophies !
