Rick is a true BASS professional. He has always been about the fish and not about selling gear.

It took him a bit and then it set in that he caught the fish that won it. Then the second one was where it cemented the win. How could you beat 18 pounds in two fish....

I imagine he's straight business, this aint his first rodeo. Big money tournament, land it as fast as possible, get it in the live well, and get a line back in the water. Save celebrating for the end.

I’ve watched Rich catchem the same way 30 years ago. Still have his signature series Pole’s RC 3 & RC 4 from 25 years ago. Love bass fishing, time really has stopped when your a kid having fun.....
I never get sick of this clip. I was watching it live when it happened and kept holding my breath. What a sequence.
The man, the myth, the legend.
I'd love to share the boat with Rick for a day. I've been followed his BASS career since he started. I'm a spinnerbait guy myself. Caught one this year on a spinnerbait that was flirting with 11 lbs. Amazing that hes still competing. I'd guess hes been fishing the Elites longer than anybody as far as I know.

Da da daaaaaaaaamn!!!! 11 pounder??? Ive got to start using spinnerbaits more often. I just caught a 7 pounder on a senko and thought i was the shit. Lol. What kind of spinner did u use? Im not up on what colors work best on spinners for bass. But im awesome on spinners for big 3-5 pound brown trout. Lol

Rick Clunn: LEGEND FOREVER
Always like to see Rick Clunn do good! Prolly my favorite thru the years!
He stays so cool under pressure. Gotta love Rick Clunn!
The Zen Master of Bassmaster! Oh my gosh, freakin AWESOME! 🏆👍
Living legend! He was super stoked, it’s awesome to see someone with so much experience shake the same as I would after catching a Giant! True sign that he loves the sport
Clunn, one graph on the console and one on the bow…knowledge!
One of the greatest of all time!!! Keep catching them Rick 👍
Now that's how a man sets the hook boys.
Yes sir !! Your the man!! Live how calm you are catching those giants !! Awesome!!
Grandmaster of fishing!!!Merry Christmas To you and your family Rick!
Good stuff Rick! 💯
And that’s why he’s the man! Great job.
Always cool 👍. Nice work Rick.
How did he land them without yelling "GIANT GIANT GIANT GIANT!!!!" Like the other pros?

Cause he's caught so many of those things it's nothing new to that guy. He's probably the most consistent tournament angler ever.

The master was kicking ass and taking names that day!
One of the Best Ever!
Wow!!! I'm blown away!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I caught a 10.65 and a 9.06 on Toledo Bend in one day. It is mind blowing to this day that it happened, and something I’ll never forget! Definitely wasn’t as calm as Rick 😂

He's a living legend!!
One of the best to ever do it!
Simply the best!
An Elite in every sense of the word.
Unbelievable Rick... Still making it look easy 👍
That makes me want to load up and head to Fla. right now. On another note Rick Clunn moving around that boat like a young fellow. Exercise and a clean diet works.
Incredible!!

When it’s betting time, my money is always on Rick Clunn!!! He has knack for finding the big fish when it’s crunch time. And it seems he usually finds piles of big fish stacked up. Rick is the man!!!
So calm when he catches them
Double whammy Rick !!
Beast!

A true American Icon! Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr. Rick Clunn! The G.O.A.T. 2 - 9 pounders. Cool! Calm! Collected! Amazing to WATCH. He a winner. Not a loser! Shawn
Rick Clunn reminds me of ancient aliens. I've heard he's more machine than man. Also he can shape shift.

He is a legend and bass know thats pretty much
You know its a good day when you have to cull fish...and the smallest is a 4 pounder
That moment 2:46 when you look around not sure what the hell just happened but you know you just done good Rick is the man
wish i was their!
Where was he on the St. Johns?
I love it when the old man kicks them young pros ass
Respectable
How long ago did this happen?
He's a legend, a true bass fisherman...not a forward facing electronic age spotlighter....Bass fishing tournaments are becoming despicable now.
That 2nd catch on the spinnerbait, did that have a trebble hook on it? What bait was that?

What he catch the first one on? Second was a spinnerbait.. I'm new to Bass fishing but is it normal to just slowly retrieve a spinnerbait like that? No bouncing etc? Looked like he was just steadily reeling it in...

Yes. Slow rolling a spinnerbait. Try it at night with a big single colarado blade.
I grew up eating large and small mouth bass. Good eating fish in most lakes. Tell me fellow anglers are bass that big good eating? Would it be muddy? Would brining and smoking work well on a bass that big? Thoughts.....

If That Don't Get Your Heart & Blood Rushing, I Don't Know what Will!
Cool as the other side of the pillow 👊🏻
In a tournament, you get a fish on that size and if the line breaks or it shakes off....that's when I'd go right over the side after it. 😂.
million bucks worth of fishing stuff and an awesome bass location.....go figure
No theatrics, just hooking up the tanks like they were dinks.
His cull fish is bigger than my PB!!! Hahahaha
Imagine being this nonchalant about a 9 pounder! Or two!
He didnt look at them long he unhooked and threw them in the box, how it should be, guys now and days hold em out of water for like 5-10mins lol, amazing catches🤙
calmer then you are
