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 think he'll do it on a tube

4" Black trick worm on a shakey head.

I hope he blanks

He is my new favorite

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.

Lol

As Mike grew up in South Philadelphia, you know he has grit, determination and a highly competitive nature. Some of his fellow pros could learn a thing or two from him.

He destroys the field on cranks and wire baits

As a courtesy, I�m providing a link to his website so you can signup for his newsletter

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

He definitely needs to lay off the caffeine. He is a good fisherman but really hard to listen to while he is fishing and the whole its a giant no just a 2lber has gotten way to old!

He has made me almost wear out my "mute" button...! He can fish but ruins it all with his actions...worse than a little kid !

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 !!!!

He's one of the most established professional fishermen in the world. He seems to be doing ok. Ever wonder why MLF invited him? He puts on a show, and has more people talking and thinking about him than all the other 79 combined right now. I don't think I will try to tell him how to go about his business.
