I just finished watching it. I agree I'd like to have seen what Jordan Lee's mom had to say, the part they showed she just choked up I guess. There was some overflowing emotion ... even affected me some. I hope to see Lee become a consistent big stick on the Elite circuit. Too often after a classic win there is a huge tail off, understandably due to demands but there anyway. Enjoyable to watch. On Ike ... he makes good TV so he gets a lot of camera time. Not one of my favs though. I believe Lee is just building the foundation of a spectacular career....2 wins already, one of which is a Classic win, and the young man is rarely finishing out of the money (81% check-cashing rate), so he will take down at least one AOY title...Ike, on the other hand, will increase your heart rate at times. He's definitely over the top, but for good reason, it makes him a polarizing figure, which in turn, gets his mug on the TV screen.

Ike is great. He has had you guys talking about him for 2 days now.  Good point! I saw Jack Nicholson win an Academy Award many years ago and he simply walked up on stage in his dark Raybans and accepted the award. He turned to the crowd and said, "In this business it doesn't matter if they're talking good about you or bad about you, as long as they're still talking about you"  As long as we're still talking about Ike I am quite sure he will continue his on screen antics. Everything I have ever heard about him off-screen is very positive. He stays later to talk to the fans and sign autographs than most of the other pros and he loves talking to young kids.  Whether you like him or not, he is entertaining to watch. I love his passion for the sport. Some of those guys are about as exciting on camera as watching paint dry. If that's your cup of tea then so be it. Television shows live & die by ratings. Ike helps ratings.

I like Ike and apparently so do the sponsors. It helps that he can flat out catch em anywhere too. His antics are made for TV and like the poster above said, it keeps folks talking.
Did any of you "locals" notice how far off the mark was for where Kennedy was actually fishing? There are no islands on the eastern shoreline above 1097, yet there they were on the map on TV. They had Kennedy a full 1-2 miles south of the jungle area in what looked like an area just off Johnson's bluffs. Makes me wonder if Kennedy has a "say so" in that?? Yet later in the program, they had him marked up in the jungle again. I saw them do this with Elam a couple of times too in Caney. They also had Ike at the Stowaway bridge running north but never showed any footage of him fishing the Stowaway bridge.
Just some thoughts.
