In the video, if I am not mistaken Josh said he had called the guy and said he needed to come down as they were biting. He probably called Josh to come in to the Marina. Not sure and I have no skin in the game either way.
Awesome fish though. Congratulations to the angler Right before he caught the fish, Josh said he come into the marina to get a bite to eat and was talking to him on the phone. They ended the call and then the guy caught the fish. Pretty crazy.

The guy probably told Josh he'd be in shortly, he had one on his Garmain the size of his thumb and was gonna try to catch it first. lol

That's bonkers
Maybe I been living under a rock but why does JJ hate live scope? I thought that's what he was using?

That's bonkers
Maybe I been living under a rock but why does JJ hate live scope? I thought that's what he was using? Simple answer...money. He was never sponsored by Garmin, but mentioned that he was a tester or had some of the first versions and even mentioned stuff like "friends at garmin" in posts i remember seeing. BUT...regardless of the relationship it kinda seems like they never cut him checks and he never really did the sponsored guy spiel either in every video. Id figure he got free/discounted product if he was a tester or someone who gave input during R&D or beta portions of the process...but maybe since he wasnt as big he never pushed them to cut him checks. I figure he did eventually ask them for money or to get some checks cut just for all the notoriety and him mentioning livescope often....and garmin probably felt they had a strong enough foothold in the Live market that they didnt want that extra expense. Lowrance swooped in and made him pro team and probably cuts him checks....so now hes all in on ActiveTarget. Ive even kinda called him out on fb when he made the change about not really believing him since it was a night/day flip....but he defended it and said active target had better target separation and no ghost trees. Hard to call a guy whos had a last 2-3 months like he has a liar or say he doesnt know what hes talking about! LOL Id buy an active target....but I do think Garmin is a step ahead of the competition, and they just rolled out the new version. When i purchase itll be a garmin....regardless of what that guy can do with the Lowrance. Unless HB rolls out a miracle update in the next month or 2 so I can save some bucks since i already got a helix.

That’s a big one. Ike would be claiming a new world record, ran around his boat 20 times trying to land it, and fell in the lake twice!  Congrats to the angler.
