Now is the 5 year anniversary of being obsessed with trophy bass hunting. I don’t mean to come off as arrogant, but I want to share some numbers of these last 5, epic years. I want to thank 6th Sense Fishing, Dobyns Rods, and Russell Marine Products for being there from the start.
▫️Two 15 pound largemouth
▫️6 largemouth over 14 pounds
▫️Set the record for most “Legacy” Sharelunkers. Nobody in the programs 40 year history has more
▫️13 bass over 13 pounds. 9 on official scales. Most on video
▫️Almost 200 DD’s
▫️1500+ over 8lbs. (Stopped counting at 900)
▫️20+ 50lb stringers. One in Oklahoma
▫️Double digits on 11 different lakes in 3 states
▫️5 smallmouth over 8lbs
▫️PB largemouth. 15.40
▫️PB smallmouth. 9.07

RIP Kobe Bryant 1-26-20 "We all say s--- that we shouldn't say, we all do things we shouldn't do. We all are angels, we are all devils."

The word we are looking for here is "envy".

Only thing left is to walk on water.

True “Idols” in an industry don’t have to brag about what they’ve done or pat themselves on their back……I’ll just leave it at that.

Irrelevance = Desperation

Dude can sure catch them.
Good for him

Didn’t he catch some of these ion bluegills or something?

Live bait, live scope= LIVE ACTION!

Agree - he’s the LeBron James of bass fishing. When you have to tell everyone constantly that you’re the GOAT….. you ain’t the GOAT.

If he would just box somebody on Netflix it would be awesome.

If his numbers are accurate, which he’s given us reason to believe they aren’t.

But if they were, his numbers are well above and beyond anyone else’s, nobody else has caught that many big fish.

Ha he was a cable guy in his previous life, not a tae kwon do sensei.

You should look up Doug Hannon if you're thinking that...

JJ is well on his way to eclipsing the bass professors dd count

Butch Brown’s numbers are insane. Over 1500 DD’s


Butch Brown’s numbers are insane. Over 1500 DD’s

There are a half dozen guys out of CA that have far more impressive numbers... Including fish over 15lbs. Most of those fish were caught on much smaller lakes though.

What makes Josh special in my opinion is he's done it in Texas, and he's done it quickly. Plus, the smallmouth over 9lbs. I'd be willing to bet he's the only guy in the world with a largemouth over 15lbs and a smallmouth over 9lbs.

I'd say that smallmouth is roughly equivalent in rarity to a 18lb class largemouth.

He's also landed musky in the mid 50-inch range.

The fish he turns into the Sharelunker program are easy to take credit for. And yes, he gets props for that. But a lot of his other “numbers” have been proved false by old pictures reposted, scales not on when weighing fish, etc.

But like I said above. Good fishermen don’t have to toot their own horns. He does it a lot. And it’s normally when he hasn’t been in the lime light for a long period of time.

Brady Stanford is still the best on Ivie and comes with no drama

And hasn’t been kicked out of a couple of tournament trails

1500 bass over 8 lbs but he stopped counting at 900.

That’s an odd statement.

Not saying who is best ,but I spend about 1/2 my time there and when it has got hot and fishing has got tough, Dalton Smith fished just about every day out of Elm creek for the last few yrs. I don't know about Concho. JMO

This is like Biden trying to tell us all the great [censored] he did during his presidency.

Brady has been turning in the Sherrys, that’s fo sho.

JJ is right where he wants to be, he’s got some of you all coming him to Doug Hannon and Butch Brown, haha

This is correct.

Josh just needs to go fish some opens and try to make it to the elites. Like Milliken did!!

+1. Dude has little credibility

I can’t believe him and Millikin don’t have a hair care sponsor yet!! Where you at Pantene! Golden locks for days on them heads!

Wonder if Josh will fish the bracket showdown in his boat with the active target of fish JRays boat he hates to fish in with the Garmin!! I bet they’re in JRays rig

Easy now. Most people don’t know that back story

“Hair Care?” Are ya kiddin’ me?!?!? The rats nests on those 2 hippies need to be cut off. Do they really look in the mirror of a morning and say to themselves, “Dannnnng, I look good. Like a real man.”

Just Sayin’. . .

As many fish photos he recycles I wish he's recycle the missing bow roller pics. Who know, maybe it will happen again and we'll get a round of fresh pics..

The mirror yells back “DEF LEPPARD SUCKS MAN!”

Steez, just because you're the fan club president of "The Village People," there is no good reason to bash Def Leppard. Def Leppard rocks! Saw them in 1994 at Reunion Arena in Dallas with my hot girlfriend. Great light show in the round stage that slowly revolved in the middle of the arena, so everyone could see them better. Great band still playing today. True story, in the early years of the band, the drummer got in a motorcycle accident and lost his arm. All of these guys are mates and instead of getting a new drummer and continuing with their tour, they cancelled the rest of the dates and took a year off and the drummer practiced and practiced until he could play with one arm. Most people at their concerts would never know that the drummer has one arm, he's that good.

By the way, that was some funny stuff about JJ, Netflix and boxing.

Both are great at what they do. I agree that some are humble, some can't keep from pointing it out.

I’m more of a Ratt-N-Roll dude.

JJ even said it on his stupid FB other day I ran across. His job isn’t fishing it’s social media and fishing is for fun. He’s a moron that can really fish. He does nothing but stir pots and create controversy as it gets him more clicks. Guy can catch them but he’s a flat out db!

Ok, I didn't have to update the current "Hurt Feelings report" which is at version 5. It is still relevant, and will cover the BM and JJ threads from the last week. This might help some of those that are struggling with these colder days. It's hard being cooped up, but It's time to get out and wet a line. Next two months is when the magic happens.
