Please share this YouTube channel I can’t find lol

Hey, I think he should have a better youtube channel, but he isn't doing it yet.

He isn’t capable of doing a channel like that. His schedule for one doesn’t allow it. Have you ever shot and edited and produced a video? How about a channels worth? It’s a ton of work. That’s why folks like Milliken hire a person to shoot and produce the videos. So they can concentrate on fishing and the direction of the channel. I know a guy that did/does all his own stuff in another genres. His job, his channel, his patreon, etc etc. the dude hardly sleeps. You can’t fish all day with clients and keep a boat prepared and drop content all the time by yourself unless you want to kill yourself. YouTube is a fickle too…you stop or slow down and people wander off from you.

I don't disagree with you on this. But he's making $2000 a day, he can hire a camera guy to be on the boat one day a week to create content. Most of the guys doing these have a friend who starts with them, then they venture out on their own.

Jacob Wheeler, is a good example. Brody was / is his camera guy for years. Brody traveled with JW and captured all their adventures for the channel.

Maybe he wants his $2000 all for himself.. plus you can’t hide where and what you are fishing as well on a video.

JJ used to have a monopoly; he was literally one of the first people in the country to have forward facing sonar through a chance encounter. He capitalized on the luck and mastered it before anyone else.

I'd still argue he's likely the best with the tool, but the gap that was light years has now closed to a few inches. There are a ton of guys now that are extremely capable. (I am not one of them!) It's so much more than just reading the screen.

Same with Youtube, it used to be easy to make a buck, now it's gotten extremely hard. Some of these guys used to be making tens of thousands per month off views, but as others have mentioned it's a fickle beast. Now many have to grind and create content daily to make a fraction of that. There's lots of competition.

Making a living bass fishing is TOUGH. Doing it for the long haul is extremely tough. Wind, weather, sun. Social media hate. Always gone, never home. Kids you barely see. Sky high divorce rates. Self-doubt. Crazy customers. Fish that sometimes just won't bite.

My hats off to them for living their dream. Sometimes I'm jealous, though when I really stop to think about it... I'm fine in this office fishing when I get the chance. Absence makes the fishing heart grow fonder.

Anyway, I hope the stars align and one of these guys catches a fish to give the state record a run. She's out there... Ivie is the place to be.

Well i guess you could count the number of sharelunkers he's put in the program. Is that fake? Or maybe you're so jealous because he's caught more DD in one week than you have in a lifetime.....? lol. Dude just get off his jock. He has
proved with video and pics he can catch them.

No matter what he does he does draw attention and as you no sticks & stones. leave him alone and maybe he will just go away.

Dude I don’t think Barrett is the one hugging his sack!

WOW, are you his dad or boyfriend or something?

He's either the catcher or pitcher

Serious question, this forum is loaded w top notch fisherman. Has anyone else caught as many DD sized fish as he has in that short period of time?
I’ve bass fished for 30 years off and on and only have 1 fish over 10#.
Not everyone posts everything online and I get that. But I am truly curious….

Most the fisherman on here have regular jobs. I'm betting more than a few on here could catch as many if that's what they did for a living.

4 is my DD count, he has caught more than me in one day probably, haha.

I can think of one guy immediately. Not going to name him because he stays out of the mass whinefest and is highly regarded by most on this page. He is an OG for catching big fish.
