@@secretbassrigsI mean technically speaking this kind of did happen with Cifuentes this year at the small mouth event he fished up north that he won. If you go back and look at the live footage an actual 5 pound smallie jumped into his boat while he was trying to land him.
@@secure152 interesting. What if it was hooked outside of the mouth? But I'm digressing. My point is: even if it was never hooked, it was attracted to the bait and presentation so much it jumped after the bait as it left the water. It likely would have inhaled the bait, given the chance. But, likely, does not mean it was ever technically ever caught.
This is honestly one of your best interviews Mercer. Folks can say what they want about Trait, but she is willing to discuss the "inside baseball" topics that nobody wants to discuss publicly. And you, Mercer, are will go let to folks speak their minds too. Great job again! ps: My perception about Chris is that he is genuine. THAT and Trait's brutal honesty is why they are successful in social media.
Thanks Rex, I appreciate your kind words. It was a very fun conversation. It’s not often I finish a show and say to myself I can’t wait to have them back on.
You guys were spot on with the entertainment value. Thinking back to my childhood, my favorite episodes of Bill Dance were the “bloopers”. There is true enjoyment in seeing the professionals being human. Loved the conversation.
This was a really fun, interesting & informative podcast. Could easily been another hour! Chris & Trait I enjoy & appreciate their honesty & being open with their thoughts & experience with the pro bass fishing industry.
I’m out here slinging boxes for UPS til 930pm or so. This is the only good thing about my day so far 😂 I was NOT a Trait fan for a long time, but hearing her cut loose on the podcast is amazing. She will go down as a legend in the industry for asking the hard questions and always outing the elephant in the room and I love it.
Thanks for watching Mike, Glad this podcast can help the time pass a little easier. Trait is awesome, she always tells it like she see’s it. I am hoping this podcast will help a lot of people see how fun a person she is.
Dave, I love seeing you once a week. When you mention the things you will do in front of a camera it reminds me of all the things I used to do in front of my brothers and their older friends… Anything to make a laugh, make someone notice me, And make someone do something equally as impressive or dumb. Thanks for being you, thanks for being here for our enjoyment.
Really enjoyed the show Dave. Chris and Trait are great because they realize as the sport evolves, and we as fans have 24/7 access to the anglers as well as the league management via social media, we want the truth behind the scenes and they are not afraid to take us there.
I read a magazine article when I was in high school about being a fishing guide. The punch line of the article was that, at the end of the day you have to be able to nod and grin. I've been a guide now for a year and the entertainment piece is part of the "experience" that will pay more in the long run. We're all human and love to have a good laugh or grow in some emotional/ informational manner. If your taking $$$ to fish you have to bring the value because that's what the customer/ fan is paying for, my $0.02. Godspeed!
Love Zaldain! Was fortunate enough to camp a few spots down from him at the Classic this year. Got to talk with him, take pics with him and got some swimbaits from him. Hope he has a great year in 2024!
Thanks Rick, You got that right, love there dynamic together. I also love how you support us all Rick. I can’t thank you enough for your support from the start. The world is a better place because of folks like you.
Dave. I enjoy to long podcasts. I listen to you when I’m driving or working outside. I can listen and not have to try and find something else. The ones with Jake aren’t long enough. He is a good dude. Keep it up man! Thank you!
Will say I wasn’t a Trait fan only for the reason of giving BASS crap but now feel like she is a true person and says the truth. You always get the real out of people another awesome show. Thanks keep it rolling
Thanks so much Stephen, That’s the total goal of this show to show how amazing the folks in the fishing industry are. You comment makes me very happy. Thank you
Another great episode! Thanks as always for putting out quality entertainment! Oh yeah...I'm an MFer that turned Humper (after you had Ben on a few times), that is also a Bilger. Truly love everything you all do. Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Trait has definitely found her spot in the sport. I think she is doing great things. I really enjoyed my conversation with Chris & Trait. I am sure they will be back on again.
Love the niche they have created with their podcast! The bass fishing industry does feel obligated to sweep things under the rug all the time and I’m glad they are willing to speak for the community.
Ole Jon Cox laughing there at the end, God speed Jon, keep fighting the machine, you're a hero to us jon boaters 🤣 Mercer you were dynamite and your guests were great as well!
Trait sounded like a maniac on that bilge podcast with panger… just probing him over the most bizarre crap. This was a good show though glad to see she put the wine glass down.
Thanks for watching John, I think what you saw was just Trait & Matt’s relationship. Like Chris said they are like siblings always arguing about stuff. I think that episode of the Bilge was a great one.
@@factsoffishing she’s was prodding panger trying to force him to agree with her personal agenda. There was no argument she was just trying to get panger to agree with her. Big difference Dave!
I love podcast and like you Dave I have to deal with snow 30 plus years of plowing roads sometimes upwards of 30 hrs straight in truck so I stack a bunch of podcast up and listen. Makes time go by better anything from cooking and woodworking to fishing. It’s too bad your other situation went south but defiantly better shows separately just too bad u couldn’t bury the hatchet. One of my favorite podcast is tackle talk with Andrew Hayes. His delivery,demeanor and honesty about products is awesome and sometimes nice to have no drama podcast. Defiantly subbing to the bilge Thanks for another good one!
This was made for me . The only two Podcast shows I watch weekly were both on your show, So this means your going to be on there Show now ?. Great information and funny,except the end. I want to hear the after show comments. !!! Thnxs Dave.
So at the start of the season, I had a chip on my shoulder with Chris and Trait. However, after watching The Bilge, keeping up with Chris all season, I have become one of the biggest Chris and Trait fans on the planet!!! I freakin LOVE those two!!! I wish I could hang out, shoot some guns, drink some beer, and spend a day swimbaiting with them.
@@ZaldaingerousI should invite you up to southern Indiana and show you just how tough the fishing is here. The Sabine ain’t got nothin on us brother!!!🤣🤣🤣
Hey All, Thanks for watching. Please help me thank Chris & Trait for being this week’s guests by following their channel youtube.com/@Zaldaingerous?si=GVevaLjvmX-xRxjA
Zaldangerusss Is very good bass fisherman this year he does like me , trying sometimes trying too hard or picking the wrong school of fish or the wrong part of the lake to fish that day!!! ?
Thanks for watching Danny, Chris has a lot of great seasons. That’s the thing about competitive fishing. Everyone has an off year sooner or later. I’m sure he will be back to his normal self in the future
Thanks Pete, At one time or another Trait has been accused of being all those meme accounts 😂. I don’t think she is or she would just admit it. The girl clearly proved she ain’t scared. Thanks for being a humper your support has been great
Trait got it so right. As a fan, listening to your podcasts and watching your videos, we actually do get a sense of friendship from it. I never thought about it that way but it’s 100%
I love the transparency and I love chris and trait we all know each other well.. Chris is hands down the best fisherman I’ve ever been in the boat with. Fuck forward facing sonar!!!!
I think Trait is a perfectionist and Chris is opposite that😂. Reminds me of my marriage and is awesome to relate to them like that. Guys like us would be lost without them.
Loved this episode. I like Trait. She is a straight shooter and has a low tolerance for BS. Does that get you a lot of friends? Nah. But that’s ok. Gotta respect when someone is willing to stand up and say what they believe.
Dave I'm in pa ! It gets cold and snowy also ! I like 3 seasons also ? Summer summer & summer ! Boat is wrapped and winterized ! Sucks ! Take care buddy ! Great show as always ! Like chris ! Trait I could take or leave her ! Seems miserable alot??😮😮😮😮😮
One of my favorites dave i agree i think guys are afaid to lose sponsors because of how small the pie is an all the hands in it.. Thanks Dave chris an trait
Trait has become one of my favorite humans on the planet! No filter, says what she thinks…. That’s how it should be!!!!!! And she puts names with her criticism! NOBODY else in the industry will!!!!! They just piss and moan but won’t call names!
Thanks for watching Brian, Trait is truly herself. She has a very unique outlook on things and I really enjoyed this conversation. I have a feeling it’s the first of many we will have on this show. Thanks for watching and commenting
A lot of times while listening through head phones while working I have to get off the video because I struggle to hear you vs most podcasts I listen to daily. Love to listen but I can't while around production.
Sorry to hear that. I have not heard that from anyone else. Sorry you are having issues. Have you ever tried to listen to it on any of the podcast streaming platforms? Maybe it’s better there. We are on all podcast platforms
That’s funny. Back in the day when I was fishing tournaments there was a bunch of kids that used to cheer me on and they were referred too as the mercenaries.
@@factsoffishingno Dave. Thank you for your service and excitement. Your genuine honesty and curiosity. You have a pretty sweet gig. And you don't very well.
If bass pro is willing to give your "wishlist". Dont feel the need to explain why they do. As a fan you bring more value than 85% of the field. You. Should do 6 12" screens 🤔
I would bet if certain sponsors know a angler is truly needing their sponsorship money. That is probably the ones they attempt to push around. If that same sponsor knows that particular angler is financial sound, I’d bet they don’t try to push that particular angler around. Unfortunately there are people like that. You are right about Kyle Welcher being a great angler. The few conversations I have had with Kyle along with following his content long before him being pro. He is so impressive with his knowledge of the sport. That isn’t counting his physical angling abilities! As far as MLF it made me sad when the split happened. Now it not only makes me sad but pisses me off how a certain individual screwed up a good thing and is still screwing over his “PALS”! It’s okay because he is doing it for the greater good of bass fishing! Yeah Right!!!!!😤🤬😡
@@factsoffishing It's probably just the drama in the industry is getting old. Don't change a thing the way you conduct interviews. Really great thanks. Can you get Kenta on I think that would be a good show? Thanks Dave ✌️😎
I think Trait is a firestorm of opinions but think she will be a boat anchor of liability for Chris if he’s not already marked. Great podcast but a bit uncomfortable. I do wish them well. Marriage is not easy especially working together in a public setting. There are some things best unsaid.

Thanks Jim, I am happy to hear you enjoyed this weeks show. It was a very fun conversation between 3 great friends
serious question: what if a bass jumps in your boat because it was following your lure? does it count? @@factsoffishing

Great show Dave, I love the Bilge also. Trait needs to get you booked ASAP. Keeping it real makes for the best show!
