Is it just me, or does Dave Mercer look like Captain Spaulding from "House of 1000 Corpses"?

Never heard of either one of them

Dave Mercer is the emcee of Bassmaster Elite events.

Yep ! Same guy.

and both appear to be equally annoying

Isn't that dude from the movie "Devil's Rejects"?

He can�t be as bad as the the guy that screams WOW and 5 fish limit on the FLW

He's worse, he nicknames all the anglers and you can see them cringe every time they walk on stage.

These guys have a very difficult job doing their best to make a weigh in entertaining. I�d last about 30 minutes
You�ve seen how rough the crowd is in some of the subforums here
Getting some of these guys to laugh or get excited about something is near impossible

Mercer, Zona, Fish Fishburn, etc. they are all annoying.

But then again I"m old and since I"m not a Millennial, I don't have to be entertained. Just weigh the fish and move on and I would be happy.

Yea that dude is a beating, I usually have to turn it off after about 5 guys come across the stage.

ZONA, is the man...I laugh my butt off every time I see his show with Greg Hackney on...

But yes he does look like Captain Spauldin...

Yep, toughest job in show business, weigh ins.

Maybe he needs to go back to wearing the makeup. Might lighten the mood a bit.

"Let's see your two best bass!"

If any of you guys knew Dave personally you'd have a completely different opinion of him. He's a very good friend of mine and he's one of THE kindest, hardest working people I've ever met. And there's a reason he's the youngest man ever inducted into the Canadian Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. Dude can flat out fish. Maybe y'all would be happy if B.A.S.S. brought back greasy Elvis. Nope, because you'll never be happy with anyone other than Ray Scott. And guess what, Dave doesn't give many of those pros their nicknames. The other pros do.
