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. He also gets a lot of camera time because Toyota is a major sponsor of a lot of events.

It's not nearly as annoying watching Ike when you just finished watching FLW and seeing boaters yelling "net, net,.....get the NET" and the co has to drop everything and run to the front to see him net a solid 1 pounder.
After about two of those, I'd start to get a hearing impairment.

As much as I dislike the antics of Ike , the announcer and his drama laden approach to announcing would make a billy goat puke !! Also , did it seem like nobody wanted to say "what " happened to all the boat malfunctions and the name of those companies?
Lastly , Zona ---please go back to whatever you did before they put you on camera !!

Love him or hate him, Ike is a personality of the sport. He gets attention regardless of the tournament because of his antics. That attention puts his sponsors in the light, which is one of the pros biggest jobs. If you attended the classic, you saw it first hand at the weigh in. "Mercer, I tell you what, Conroe gets so rough, I was glad I run a (insert boat name here). And if my (insert boat name here) wasn't powered by (insert motor here), I wouldn't have made it back to the weigh in on time." Said by almost every pro in the classic. It's their job, and Ike does a good job at it.

I still get way excited when I catch any fish, and that is after 40 plus years of fishing. If you can only get excited when you catch big fish I feel bad for you. For once Ike did catch a giant but I think it is cool that he still gets excited when he catches fish even though he exaggerates. I do too! Heck perch fishing with red wigglers is a blast. Take a kid sometime and watch them, you might remember why you started fishing in the first place.
See you on the lake and have a great day!

Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

Too many get caught up in the "I'm a tournament Bass fisherman, I don't have time to have fun".

After about two of those, I'd start to get a hearing impairment. I actually like the BASS no net rule. Adds something to the catch. +1. A lot of the time they are struggling to get the net when fishing solo or yelling at the co-angler when they should be focused on landing the fish, it seems like a hindrance to me, especially on anything less than 4 pounds.

IKE is the best....At the weighin he always received loudest cheers brings alot of youth to the sport...If I'm in his position I'm screaming too better than alot of the boring pros...Some are just sleeper boring
