Oops we screwed up and posted this episode a hour early. Hope you enjoy it & make sure to add Aftco Breakwater Gloves to your comment to try and win a pair of these amazing gloves.
I think we'll forgive you Dave!!!! 😂😂. One the best pods out there. Nobody will ever be mad for getting content earlier than the usual routine. So Thanks! Stay safe out there💪✌️
I am an Aftco fan of all Aftco apparel. Great product. I do need some aftco waterproof gloves to add to my attire. I think it's great the anglers are coming together to discuss. The one thing is that they know how much money there is to divide so I hope everyone can come to some common ground. Also, like any rookie, i believe if you haven't paid your dues in the sport as an elite series angler. You can ride but you are sitting in the middle if you know what I'm saying. ✌️🎣
I believe that Davy Hite truly spoke from his heart in trying to advocate for the anglers. I learned early in life. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Keep swinging Davy! Another good one WednesDave 👊🏻
Two weeks in a row with Greg Hackney can’t be beat! Always enjoy listening to Davy. Aftco Breakwater Gloves will be great for winter steelhead fishing.
Great show once again, I feel the cure is the anglers and BASS join forces and and get more or larger sponsors for tournament sponsorship; instead of individual sponsors. Both Bass and the anglers as individual sponsors. I think it awesome to fish for 100k without a entry fee.
I had a phone conversation with Davy a few years back, probably 2016 or so. I wasn't in the greatest mindset and I always thought I kind of blew that opportunity. He was gracious and gave me advice and encouragement. I have the upmost respect for him. It would be a dream come true to get in a boat with him.
I enjoy listening to your podcast each and every week! Keep up the hard work and dedication to the sport of bass fishing! Your knowledge and insight is very much appreciated. Aftco Breakwater Glove
Great Podcast, it’s great to see that everyone is working to make it better for the anglers. I know how hard it is to spend what it takes in order to have the opportunity to compete.
Great monologue Dave - Well said. You are a “great facilitator. The reason I like this podcast is the openness to opinions,personalities, & perspectives. Great job to all guests.AFTCO BREAKWATER GLOVES. Look awesome.
Lee made a good point about the cost of each tournament day. No entry fees, 1-day practice, three-day tournaments with full field Day 1 and 2, Top 25 on Day 3.
Hello Sir , how are you? I am a regular viewer of your TH-cam channel. I came here to say that- "I always learn something new from your channel-so valuable!" Good Luck to You
Hackney is always a positive dude. Defenitly my favorite pro angler. Livesay probably has the most popular opinion. Hite seemed a little bit defensive about it. I could use a pair of those Aftco Breakwater gloves. I could also use a Rus Snyders and Dwayne Walley podcast Dave
Dave, I love the show, I look forward to it every week. It would be nice to win a pair of AFTCO Breakwater Gloves for chasing these winter bass here in Utah. Thanks for everything you do for the fishing community.
AFTCO BREAKWATER gloves seem amazing but I have big ole cockles and I can’t order the XL.. out of stock. Amazing pod tonight Mercer. I was craving these angles. Loved it
Winner winner chicken dinner….well actually no chicken dinner but you do win the Aftco Breakwater Gloves. Please send me your mailing address & we will get them sent out to you. If you don’t feel like posting your address here you can always DM me on Instagram. Congratulations
I have my own opinion on the no entry fees thing…I LOVE IT!!! I truly feel like this is just the beginning and if they all stick around it will progressively get better. Love ya bro!!! AFTCO Breakwater gloves!!!!
Spent the last few days being pushed around the Pungo River and Pamlico Sound by a Yamaha 450, what an engine! Those AFTCO breakwater gloves look legit!
Well done! These views needed to be aired. Too many one-sided totally negative ideas being bashed around. Your questions give even more credibility to your show.
It's all free but people buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. That's not counting sponsorship dollars. We went to the elite at Murray in 2024 and probably 15000 fans went through. Bringing money to the economy and yes BASS
Aftco Breakwater Gloves sound amazing, i have tried many pairs of gloves especially being a winter steel head fisherman, cant wait to try them , love the show and look forward to every hump day, my wife even knows not to bother me from 6-8 on Wednesdays 😅
Do the math, it’s worst for anglers as the field is currently set… unless the plan is to reduce the field size sooner than later and possibly increasing payouts up the ladder.
Dave. Usually I only get to watch in parts on lunch but this one from start to finish. At first I was in shock with the payouts but after looking deeper into it I get it. Ps those Aftco breakwater gloves would really help out in northern Illinois #chainrats.
Aftco Breakwater gloves look killer. As a kayak tournament guy, keeping a fish from slipping off the measuring board is a huge deal. Those look like they'd help. Thanks for the conversation.
Aftco breakwater gloves would be awesome! I fish year round and it gets pretty cold in the middle of the winter here. Thanks for everything you do Dave!!!
This change will create a more cutthroat atmosphere and on the water confrontations for sure - entertainment = more viewers. Wish BASS could have found sponsors to cover what the anglers paid in entries so the payouts stayed the same
As an open angler. I like it. It means if i make it to the elites ive got a chance without worrying about losing everything. Ive got a chance to go fishing without the added stress. Like hack said some people gotta find something about everything to be negative about. Doesnt matter what it is.
💋 beautiful shade of lipstick for this Dave😂😜just kidding. If I had that pair of AFTCO breakwater gloves I could point out the perfect solution to this! I think if you would have continued wearing the @AFTCO breakwater gloves you wouldn’t have any problem grasping the perfect solution. Do wish you would’ve had Logan Parks on to explain his spreadsheets and had others on to debate solutions but maybe that’s another podcast where you are moderator with your @AFTCO breakwater gloves ready to slap the @factsoffishing on whoever brings up irrelevant points!! Absolutely feel like no entry fees in the @Bassmaster’s Elite series is a great step in the right direction! Great podcast Dave! Can’t wait to get my hands in those AFTCO breakwater gloves and feel the quality material and workmanship while fishing and commenting on your podcast simultaneously cause I don’t have take them awesome AFTCO breakwater fishing gloves off!!
Great show like always 👏 👌 👍 but BASS is doing the right move. Like Hack said, the top performers make the money! And those aftco breakwater gloves would be amazing
From what I hear is the majority of Elite anglers have their entry fees paid for by sponsors. So when they finished in 50 th place and pocketed 10 grand now the get 500 bucks for 40th to me that’s a huge difference !!
Afco Breakwater gloves. Sound like they have it figured out. Would love a chance to get these. Dave keep going with these shows. Truly entertaining and enjoy watching them.
My Wednesday night IS Mercer podcast. Never miss one! Need those AFTCO Breakwater gloves. I was planning on ordering a pair but I would be glad to let you hook me up.
I have a lot of faith that the organization I love in the sport I love will get this figured out for the anglers I love. And I’d love a pair of those AFTCO Breakwater Gloves.
Thanks for giving us 3 different opinions, well 4 with yours. I think it’s a positive direction. Definitely needs some adjusting but a good step. Looking forward to the new season! AFTCO BREAKWATER GLOVES
This new rule will bring in those who are truly competitive but can’t afford entry fees, and push out some of those who are only around because they’re independently wealthy or have a bunch of social media followers. Instead of a 100 angler field, drop that down to 40. Everyone will get paid, and make it a true elite series.
Aftco Breakwater gloves also says the payouts must be higher. With these current payouts to me makes BASS Elite Fishing tourney less professional. No professional in any sport has such ridiculously low payouts.
Oops we screwed up and posted this episode a hour early. Hope you enjoy it & make sure to add Aftco Breakwater Gloves to your comment to try and win a pair of these amazing gloves.

I'm sure nobody's going to be mad at you Dave but, this is TH-cam after all. I need some Aftco Breakwater Gloves.
Aftco Breakwater Gloves!! I am a big fan, Mercer.

Fish for FIRST every time and enjoy not paying entry fees.
You are starting out $5000.00 ahead!
Another great show Dave! I appreciate you and love listening every week. Take care man.

Aftco Breakwater Gloves looks like they could really make fishing a lot more enjoyable
Aftco breakwater gloves love you dave! Thank you foe EVERYTHING you do for bass!
Lee made a good point about the cost of each tournament day. No entry fees, 1-day practice, three-day tournaments with full field Day 1 and 2, Top 25 on Day 3.
Awesome idea, but if the payouts stay roughly the same, I think year by year, it will shrink the field. Guys won't be able to survive.
Love the show Dave! Hopping over from the podcast for my shot at some Aftco Breakwater Gloves!
Aftco Breakwater Gloves ... I love your show Dave and look forward to listening every week!
Dave my husband and I love you we have watched/listened to every episode!! I would love these Aftco breakwater gloves!

I too have tried every glove out there, excited for the opportunity. Thank you for all you do Dave, I watch every week 🎣
I have a question. How many people come through the Classic Expo every year? And isn't it free to get in?
It's all free but people buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. That's not counting sponsorship dollars. We went to the elite at Murray in 2024 and probably 15000 fans went through. Bringing money to the economy and yes BASS
Been excited to see your take on this news. Thos Aftco breakwater gloves do look nice!

Great video! I instantly
Ordered 2 pair of gloves for Xmas presents to fam but would love a pair for me. 😂
From what I hear is the majority of Elite anglers have their entry fees paid for by sponsors. So when they finished in 50 th place and pocketed 10 grand now the get 500 bucks for 40th to me that’s a huge difference !!

Aftco breakwater gloves! I love how Davy talks about himself in 3rd person like Elmo haha

Thanks for giving us 3 different opinions, well 4 with yours. I think it’s a positive direction. Definitely needs some adjusting but a good step. Looking forward to the new season! AFTCO BREAKWATER GLOVES
Those Aftco Breakwater gloves sound like something I can use in these frigid Washington State waters! Thanks Dave
This new rule will bring in those who are truly competitive but can’t afford entry fees, and push out some of those who are only around because they’re independently wealthy or have a bunch of social media followers.
Instead of a 100 angler field, drop that down to 40. Everyone will get paid, and make it a true elite series.
You still have to pay to play to get to that level
love some cold weather Bassin. Sure could use those Aftco Breakwater Gloves.
Aftco Breakwater gloves also says the payouts must be higher. With these current payouts to me makes BASS Elite Fishing tourney less professional. No professional in any sport has such ridiculously low payouts.
I could sure use a pair of these Aftco Breakwater Gloves for the upcoming winter time fishing
AFTCO breakwater gloves. Great show as usual.
