Being in the top ten going in to the last day he commits to a Ned Rig and strikes out till last 15 min. An obvious giant jumps off at the boat, his head explodes, breaks every rod in the boat and talks bad about your momma.

Last time Combs beat him in the fish off at Conroe Ike wouldn't even come in until after dark. Broke some rods and pouted like a sore loser.

As he grew up in S. Philly; he learned all about BAD sportsmanship, and how to truly throw a fit that would make any four year old proud.....oh, and he also learned that if you call every fish you hook a giant, it makes folks like you even more than they already do...lol

4" Black trick worm on a shakey head.

Just so we can watch heads explode !!!!! And I hope he does it use a spinning reel.
What technique do you think he will win it with?

I hope he is in contention up to the last hour , then he hooks a " giant " , at least 8 lbs , exactly what he needs to win , just as he is pulling hard to get it in the boat , the line breaks . The 8 lber flops back into the water and swims off , magically the jig flies up to his face , the 3/0 Trokar penetrates his lower lip and his upper lip at the same time . With his lips magically sealed , Ike can't speak clearly at all .
The tournament director tries to interview Ike --- and all we hear is " sajfnfhwycdc , cnbvbxnbauehgfnbsn , sajdshfhwuenxns !!!!

Don�t think he has any chance down here but as for techniques he should be really good with chatterbaits and jerkbaits.

I could be wrong, but I think Ike has been in contention for most of the TTBCs held on Conroe.

If he keeps making fun of the googan squad I will keep liking him more and more

I would rather see just about anyone else win. Not a fan of the teenage antics.

The act is contrived.....all part of the game, that he apparently figured out to his own financial benefit.....I can tolerate him in small doses.......sometimes extremely small doses

I don't think it's a act at all. He's figured out that he can be the way he is and not have to act another way and it sells.

I agree after hearing some of the same things he's done when no cameras were around. He's passionate and I think most bass fisherman can appreciate that, me included. It's the tantrums, excessive cussing and rudeness that rubs me wrong.

I think Ike considers himself an entertainer as well as a professional angler. He's an entertainer when the cameras are running and an angler when they're off. He needs to work on his acting career and change the script cause he's acting in a G rated movie. The kids parents are getting annoyed at his profanity while on stage. Learning to express yourself without using profanity is a talent in itself and most professional anglers have mastered it. Learn from them Ike, your sponsors will approve.

^^^^^^^^ This. In life it's all about the money. His behavior will cost him one way or the other.

I would rather be around someone that is unfiltered at times, and is real in the moment; than someone who takes time to think about it and be calculating in their words to speak ill of others

Luckily there are more options than the two extremes you show here. I prefer the unfiltered and real while still being classy. The one that does not have to take time to think and calculate their words but still say the right things.

The boys are in town!

rumor has it , he went to ask Gary Klein for advice

Conroe Crutch. There is no telling how many have been caught on a black trick worm there

Thanks for posting this. I hope he gets the help he's seeking.
