You have got to be kidding. Did they learn anything about targeting big bass?

It's hard to keep the fish you find in the scope for very long. Most of the giants are constantly on the move. Realistically you get one shot. The fish bites or it doesn't. On the second cast (if you get one) the odds go down 95%. Guys could follow him around all they want, the fish he finds are transient. It's not like there is a big pile of them that doesn't move. You'd probably not see what he sees and even if you did you'd be casting at a fish he already casted at. One point of clarity, these giants are always on the move, but I don't think they move far, said differently, I think they have a fairly small home range.

Josh Jones is in a league of his own.

I'd pay $1250 just to be in the boat when a 15 was caught.......NOT! If he casted over me I'd whoop that long haired hippy's azz.....

His latest rant on Fb about tpwd game wardens is very ironic. He’s mad he got a ticket but wouldn’t even admit it when called out. He’s literally pissed about the very people he talks so highly about that created the fishery. He responded a few times to me but wouldn’t even admit about the ticket after all of his followers glorified his game warden rant. He even went to say one gw was pissed because he prob ruined the gws fishing spot. I wish the guy the best but bashing Gamewarden’s doesn’t look very good for him on a professional note. I think if he keeps it up his career will be short lived.

Game wardens are like people, there are good and bad ones. His rant may or may not be justified but I say this from a county that has one bad egg that has been here for a long time.

I got a kick out of him saying he and miliken provided opportunities for so many local families and boosted the economy. That is funny. Because I do not remember any of those fools out here when the lake was low and the stores were struggling. It was those of us that lived out here buying rooms and hamburgers to help them stay in business. Now he wants to act like some savior to the people around Ivie. Ivie has always been a big fish factory, before these fools, and after.

Actually fishing will be tied for last with most everything else ....always happens when you lose the only living creature on this earth that truly loved you unconditionally and without fail no matter what kind of day, week, month...whatever you were having

For that price fly to Mexico and catch giants in warm weather. One of my co anglers showed me a pic of a bass from down there yall wouldn't even believe me if I told you the weight. Pic was ridiculous haha

He's a good friend of my cousin and we ate with him the other day.....he wouldn't leave me alone, kept asking for my secrets on how to catch fish under 10 lbs haha

You can’t deny that a TON more money has been dumped into the area that otherwise would not have been. So in a way they have been responsible. I’m not saying that it’s anything less than extreme arrogance to run around boasting about it, but it’s the truth.
I have to say though, the guy knows how to keep his haters triggered and keep his name in peoples mouths whether he’s catching giants or not.

I am not trying to start anything just looking for answers. Is this guy for sure using live scope. Does he use live bait? I just can’t understand how one person if they are using artificial bait and just a normal depth finder could possibly do this. Am I wrong. Is this guy just that good?

I find it funny (and sad) how if you bring attention to Ivie, that in turn brings business to this lake, you are exploiting their lake and you are a YouTube douche. If you don’t come to ivie and bring attention then you are a loser, and the locals are forced to carry the weight of all the local businesses unfairly and solely on their shoulders, to make sure they survive. Haha, pick a single main complaint and try to stay with it. By the way, a lot of these guys were too young to drive while you were keeping the entire Ivie community afloat by yourself, not just jumping on the bandwagon as of recent.

until someone see him use live bait most are just haters that wish they could catch big fish an pay him big money to do it.
