You guys give every guest a platform to voice their individual perspectives on the industry without any judgement. This is what the world needs more of. We need to be able to have constructive conversations whether we agree on things or not. Love what yall do for the sport and the world! Keep it up.

Why dont you have Trey Mckinney as a hot topic guest??

Gotta give him credit he is catching them

Bass is not your mother it's casino you pay to play why would they call you after you make a video about your struggles . Do they need a therapist on payroll..

It is shocking in this day and age that professionals are still paying 50k for entry fees on any level. Bass or mlf. It just makes these look like glorified Tuesday nighters. At this level, the tour should have sponsors covering everything. But I just don’t know that the fishing industry has the audience to sustain sponsors paying out that much money. It’s a weird dilemma.

Since I’m not a competitor, I’ll give my opinion. I think BASS uses the anglers to make money for themselves. Y’all are pros and the very best on the planet. Charging people entry fees is like charging a pro football team players to play the game. It’s mind blowing to me. And then they televise it put yawls names everywhere. It’s a business for them not for y’all. Y’all are the pawns and the people they use to make them money.

Got a question that has nothing to do with this pod cast . Why do pro fishermen that don’t think ffs has no place in pro bass fishing not come out and just say it , is it because they are worried they might lose their electronics sponsor or what?

Good fisherman but I don’t understand why he is afraid or doesn’t want to market himself to get some sponsors. Seems like a good guy but seems lost now to navigate the industry.

In addition to my comment. Nothing will make an employee feel more bummed out than to feel unappreciated and used.

Late to the party but food for thought, you can discredit the bass for their brain size dare say you both called them stupid but the fish have humbled you more than the other way around and the fish are just using that "small brain" while you have all the technology bells and whistles, just saying maybe give them some credit since they've existed longer than humans

Freaking Trait is a hammer, She is awesome, Trait for Bass President

Took balls for what he put out there in November. I'm sure the bilge appreciated what needed to be said.

Yes. Thank you Chris,Trait, and Jacob. This is what needs to be told. The reality of this sport we all love is truly harsh. Jacob you be you and great things will come your way.

These videos are getting better and better. Keep up the grind guys!

Happy you got this guy, can't wait.

Great show yall, thank you

This is another good one! Trait is firing on all cylinders on this one! Keep it up yall!

I think this is/was one of the top podcast. Loved Traits approach with the questions. I love the honest answers Jacob gave.I love the fact that y’all gave Jacob genuine, helpful advice. I’m a live vicariously thru the elite fisherman guy ! But my opinion sees that the jealousy and elitist attitudes from a lot of the older and from some of the younger qualifiers needs to be addressed man to man and worked out.! United we stand divided we fall.

I’m not a bass fisherman but I follow Jacob I hope he does well and hats off to you and your wife for giving him a platform and now I follow you good luck to all of you

Trait’s facade comment is spot on.
