Thanks Dave an jlee I'm super excited to see jordan back Congratulations jlee P.s kevin were still waiting on you an then we'll have the biggest classic winners back under b.a.s.s were everyone should be.. lol good luck everyone this coming year
Glad JLee is back. That guy acts so easy going but he is a killer. Can’t wait for the season. Thanks again Dave you hit another homer. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
This FFS debate going on and the real question is will Dave ready to be drawing on a live scope screen on tv like Madden calling football plays. Jordan, welcome back Buddy.
Dave. I’m enjoying your show more and more. Glad to see Jordan on he’s a good dude. He Will find some great success this year. When Randy bandascope comes on should be a good one 😂😂😂😂
Jlee is a great angler, and glad he is coming back to BASS!! Great questions and interview Dave! Makes me wonder how many guys have put their name on the list....as I can name a few past classic winners that might be holding that chip for later on down the line. Folks like Ott Defoe, Cliff Pace, Randy Howell, Luke Clausen, Casey Ashley, Edwin Evers, Alton Jones, Takahiro Amori, Skeet Reese, Mark Davis, KVD, and Chris Lane. Take Care Dave, and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Dave, thanks for another great interview. Glad to see Jordan back in BASS. I hope he wins multiple events in 2024. My take on your question to him about MLF is other anglers are going to try to return to BASS. I noticed you mentioned Blaukat in the interview. In the past 6 or 8 months, Blaukat has been the topic of discussion for his views. Apparently Milliken and possibly Swindle have issues with him. I heard him state he will be on you show very soon. I hope you discuss this with him. Dave your good work is not going un-noticed. Thank you!
Agree there is massive talent on Elite series but disagree JLee will be running into a buzzsaw. In the history of BPT Jacob Wheeler is the only person to have earned more total AOY points. He has a AOY title for BPT. If MLF was giving legends points he would have 1 in MLF. At 32 years old he has 1 MLF/BPT AOY and 2 Bassmaster Classic wins with 7 of 9 seasons in top 10 AOY between both organizations. He will be the buzzsaw others run into.
The main thing all legends have in common is their desire to compete. As for KVD he is arguably one of the most competitive anglers to play the game. Him fishing Redcrest in 24 and a couple other events he mentioned will not be enough to feed his desire to compete. His 24 season will be like Michael Jordan playing baseball. Its just going to be a side deal until he soon realizes how bad he misses the rigors of full time competition doing what he was meant to do. I think he will be fishing at a high level of competition full time in 25 or at the latest 26. My only question is will it be on the Elite series or somewhere else.
@@TheVoidNoob I’m already aware. It doesn’t mean it wouldn’t still be fun to see. I can see why a guy his age doesn’t want to dip into his savings to do it. I guess he doesn’t move the needle the way he used to when it comes to sponsors wanting to invest the money. Who’d have thought there’d come a day where Roland Martin, the king of product pitching, couldn’t find ten sponsors to each pay 10 grand.
@fishingthe262 yeah man it is sad he's done so much for the industry it wouldn't be where it is without Roland, I hope his son can win the classic for him
I like the bpt from the start but didn't like that Jordan left cuz I thought he was on a roll and could've won more classic, for me the older guys leaving was ok, but Jordan leaving hurt, but all elites are put on notice, Jordan a STICK,!!!!
@factsoffishing , true, I bet knowing now what they know, I bet, 67 guys from the elites left I think that number would been under 25 if they knew what the do now, I think it made bass stronger and now anglers will have this to look back on and remember to make decisions that are thought out and smart, not out of spite
Hey Michael, I do but with all the bots on here lately I don’t think it’s wise to post it on here. Can you DM me on instagram & I will send it to you there. Sorry I have to do this but it’s been a non stop bot attack the last few months. I hope you understand.
Just tell the truth..... you were safe but unsure of the future so when bass called and said we actually have a spot for you. You jumped back on the ship that made you..... I hope these guys that come back understand now the grass isn't always greener on the other side
As I told him at the end of the show. I think he was nuts for leaving in the first place. But it’s great to have him back. Trust me there will be many more.
@@mitchbennett6019 I hear he is trying to make it back from the opens. There are 5 or 6 guys trying to do that. Should be another fun year to watch the opens.
No Bass was aware Fritts was retiring for a while. He had used up all of his legend exemption points. Clunn was in first but it was not announced to the public in that order.
I made no comments, I just asked Jordan what he thought of the video Randy made. Stop searching and relax. I said nothing that I would not say to Randy’s face. He is actually on next weeks show 😂
You know, I have viewed all your videos and have enjoyed everyone of them and look forward to seeing them every Wednesday. I have never searched for controversy and I am always relaxed. You just surprised me with that topic.
@@fishingmusician well I appreciate you watching but my comment was not disrespectful at all. Randy made a video that was clearly talking about Jordan I just asked his opinion on it. To be honest it helped promote Randy’s channel
I’m not sure why everyone saying ffs is a young man deal. Old dogs can’t learn is basically what they’re saying. Lol. I represent that remark. I have fished with it. Loved it. But really didn’t see it being something I couldn’t learn to use. Turn em off during the tournaments like big money salt water is. Or turn em off half the time. If older guys can’t compete.
I dont believe that there being only 2 legends spots is true. Ronnie moore said in an interview that there is no rule limiting them to 2. Which in my opinion seems odd and leaves a little too much grey area and favoritism on who gets the exception. Should definitely be a set number of spots.
@factsoffishing lol. I wasn't being serious. But you gotta admit it was a little bit of a cheeky burn on Randy just to ask the question and point out that he put out a video saying legends exemption shouldn't be a thing.
@factsoffishing tbh I watch Randy's videos. He puts out some really good learning things and I love megabass jerkbaits. Who is more of an expert on megabas jerkbaits then Randy? No one. But he has a ffs problem, 2 videos a week about it. Probably 200 total. He has a bad attitude at times, just being honest. He has no shame to bash things. So he's kinda earned everyone picking on things he does.
@@banned4life857 it’s nothing I would not ask Randy directly to his face. He is supposed to be on the show next week & just to prove it I will ask him 😂
@@factsoffishing should be a good show. You should ask him about the video he made about getting kicked out of the car wash in the rain. The entitlement he seemed to give off in that video was insane lol.
Seen all 137. Can always count on making me smile. Hope these continue for many years! Happy Thanksgiving from Soddy Daisy, Tn
Thanks very much Leland, I appreciate you watching and I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving
This one was great to listen to /watch. Two friends catching up with each other… what’s been happening & possible future goals.
Thanks David
Thanks Dave an jlee I'm super excited to see jordan back
Congratulations jlee
P.s kevin were still waiting on you an then we'll have the biggest classic winners back under b.a.s.s were everyone should be.. lol good luck everyone this coming year
Glad you enjoyed this episode. It will be fun to have Jordan back on the Elite Series stage
Im a humper dave here every week love the show ...im glad jo lee is back and happy turkey day to you and yours 🦃
Thanks Slab, I appreciate the amazing support from Humper’s like you. This show would be nothing without you guys. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music! 🎉
👍
We loved watching Jordan win back to back at BASS
Glad JLee is back. That guy acts so easy going but he is a killer. Can’t wait for the season. Thanks again Dave you hit another homer. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Thanks Stephen, you are right about JoLee.
This FFS debate going on and the real question is will Dave ready to be drawing on a live scope screen on tv like Madden calling football plays. Jordan, welcome back Buddy.
You see he is going to split this cover “circles” brush pile on the screen Boom! 😮 There he is…..Sets the hook…….Large Mouth jumps….
I have actually been asking for the ability to do that for the last year. Hopefully soon. It would be a incredible teaching tool
Love it
Dave. I’m enjoying your show more and more. Glad to see Jordan on he’s a good dude. He Will find some great success this year. When Randy bandascope comes on should be a good one 😂😂😂😂
Thanks that’s great to hear. You won’t have to wait long for Randy. He is on next weeks show 👍
Been waiting for this one! Happy Thanksgiving Dave and Jordan! 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks I hope you enjoyed
Good show, good questions I am a fan of both the Lee brothers.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it. 👍

So cool to see Jordan back! Hope that trend keeps going. Awesome discussion with him Dave. Enjoy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thanks Jim, Trust me the trend will keep going. There was a line up for the spot Jordan got. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Jim

Me too. Thanks for watching
JLee will do great. Again!! Welcome back!!
Happy to have him back
You do you Jordan all will be fine. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
He always is. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Joe
Yup, Jo Lee, time to turn those 2 extra storage compartments back into livewells! 😊
That’s funny Peter. I am sure he will figure it out 😂
Great show Dave, can’t wait to see how Jordan does this year. Happy Thanksgiving from SE Oklahoma
Thanks Bryan, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am thankful for all the great Humpers like yourself
Good to see Lee back at BASS. Dave you think BASS will ever come back to Conroe?
Hey Ken, I sure hope so. I love Conroe.
World s a better place w Mr. Jordan back home
Home sweet home
Jordan will run into a buzzsaw because there is massive talent on BASS ELITE
He was just lucky to win back to back Classics ????
@@garylukas3476 these current anglers were not fishing then

I think it will be fun to watch.
Jordan just comeback and do your thing bro , try to dominate
Mercer is goated
Ay Dave! You are the Man.
But, Panger is that guy!
I’m good with that. Panger is my guy too

Bro I would bet the house kvd will be back with bass in 25, if I'm wrong don't tell the wife our house is gone
You have got that right about there competitive drive. Those dudes don’t want to lose at anything. I would love to see Kevin back. Only time will tell
I hope you are right Bill
Happy Thanksgiving x2👍👍👍👍👍
Right back at ya. I hope you & yours have a very happy thanksgiving
There will be more anglers to come
That’s for sure. There was a line up to try get the spot Jordan got
Love Rick Clunn and KVD
Fritts was downright dominant!
I think it would be fun to see a Roland spend a season on tour with Scott…..I hope KVD does what’s best for him.
Roland tried but his sponsor wouldn't pay his fees he made a video on it check it out

Its surprising G-man didn't get mentioned when anglers who came back home to B.A.S.S were listed.
It was not a official list it was just a conversation. I would never purposely leave out G. Gerald is one of my favourite people on 🌎
Let's go team Berkley
You know I love that Nancy!
I heard that LT was a hammer back in her fishing days!
LT still is a hammer 🔨
Hell Dave a burp, you could have farted. No one here would have cared. Lol. Great show. Thanks Dave.
Well that’s good to know. Next episode I will let ‘em rip 😂
2 Thanksgivings?! That's it, I'm going to Dave's house
Come on 😂
I like the bpt from the start but didn't like that Jordan left cuz I thought he was on a roll and could've won more classic, for me the older guys leaving was ok, but Jordan leaving hurt, but all elites are put on notice, Jordan a STICK,!!!!
As it turns out leaving was foolish for all of them. But it’s great to have Jordan back & it’s awesome to hear all the others that wanna come back.

KVD will be back !
Only time will tell
Yes we are Kevin
What?
You are excused mr Dave always
Dave, you got an email I can send something to you on?
Hey Michael, I do but with all the bots on here lately I don’t think it’s wise to post it on here. Can you DM me on instagram & I will send it to you there. Sorry I have to do this but it’s been a non stop bot attack the last few months. I hope you understand.
Not a problem buddy. I completely understand. Sending it to ya now.

Did Larry Nixon voluntarily retire?
Yes he did. Sad to see Larry go but thankful I got to spend some time with him on the Elites
I marshaled with him at Seminole so glad I got to meet him
👍
👊🏻
Shame he didn't have to pay a steeper price for disloyalty towards BASS.
Ridiculous he took another job he decided to come back
I heard Jordan is to competitive to be in a fantasy football league...
Really ? Thanks for watching
Blah. Talk about on the fence. He is corporate bs. 👎🏼
Sorry you feel that way. Not sure what you were expecting but Jordan answered pretty much every question I asked him.
I’m not sure why everyone saying ffs is a young man deal. Old dogs can’t learn is basically what they’re saying. Lol. I represent that remark. I have fished with it. Loved it. But really didn’t see it being something I couldn’t learn to use. Turn em off during the tournaments like big money salt water is. Or turn em off half the time. If older guys can’t compete.

When is KVD gonna cash in all those legends chips !!
That would be awesome
wish he would actually tell the real truth, lol no way it was just cause of the format, we can all see what boyds done and continues to do
Na we’ll just watch yall stare at the screen. Lol
😂😂😂
It's bad when when Mercer talks shit about you @randyblauket
