Brandon Palaniuk 'LIV 2 FSH' on MERCER-163

Спорт

Brandon Palaniuk is a former Bass Nation National Champion, he has qualified for 13 Bassmaster Classics, won 6 Bassmaster Tournaments and 2 Bassmaster Angler of the Year titles. But none of these incredible accomplishments were achieved without a lot of work. This week we get a unique look inside the marvellous mind of “The Prodigy” and how the words 'Liv 2 Fsh' started on his hard hat but have driven him to achieve his childhood dreams.

    If u want my opinion we should do a survey of what the bass fans want as rules. And if u wanna allow people to keep bass u need to regulate size and numbers that are allowed to be kept

    Great intro and show today! Dave you are 100% correct! I teach school which is a high stress job in this day and age. My way to destress is fishing. I went to Lake Fork to my first ever Elite Series event and it was so much fun! You were kind enough to do an interview for my students. It was great for my first ever BASS event. The anglers were really cool too! So that whole thing gave this old teacher a nice weekend to destress and relax! A huge thank you! For sure we need to spread kindness and check on each other! 🏆🎣

Concerning BP’s underwater UFO you both know the perfect person to thoroughly check it out- Jake! And I’ll bet when you ask him to go on this UFO mission his response will be… “oh yes I’ve been IN an UFO! Back in 2018 while hunting in Tennessee one landed near me and…. “. That’ll be a great Jake’s Take!

    Dave, I watch your podcasts every week and thoroughly enjoy them. Thank you for your words about the tragic loss of pro golfer Grayson Murray. Fishing IS a great coping device to help battle depression. I've battled depression and experienced the dark side of it too as my dad took his own life as did my best fishing buddy. We all need to hear positive things, encouragement to keep going to the next day. Dave, thanks for your positivity! I took my experiences and wrote a fiction book, "Miracle Boat", with the purpose of helping people to hang on to the next day, seek their life's purpose and live life to the fullest. Don't take yourself out too soon as it leaves a hole that cannot be filled easily. Hey, I live in North Alabama and hope to see you in Decatur. Maybe I'll get a chance to see you at Ingalls Harbor and give you a copy of "Miracle Boat." In the meantime, keep on being the best Dave Mercer that you can be - a great cheerleader for those that fish and love the sport!

    The FFS issue isn’t as easy as if you don’t like it . Don’t use it. I’ve tournament fished for almost 30 years. Because of ffs. The sport barely resembles the sport I use to love. I could work harder to learn it. But I’m not sure I want to . Again that’s not what I loved about tournament fishing. Lastly I don’t enjoy watching pro fishing as much as I use to .

    I'm proof that fishing is a great crutch for some people me myself personally I was on meds for years for anxiety, adhd,depression the whole 9 and for me fishing works it' helps me better than any meds I've been on it gives me a line to relax chill not think about anything but those little brown and green little buggers lol so thank u bass fishing tournaments and bass fishing family for everything u do for me and if yall no someone dealing in depression or any other issues takes them out to tge outdoors fishing hunting etc... u never know it may do them wonders
