- If you're looking for motivation, watch an emotional Gerald Swindle win his second Angler of the Year title. The man with the positive mental attitude dominated the 2016 season. "I just love to fish. I love bass fishing," Swindle says.
Block whoever disliked this video. This is so inspiring to me. Choked me up listening to him talk.
The 11 thumps down are haters always gonna have haters jealous ass people never like to see anybody do good because they are losers
How can anyone not like this guy?
Agreed agreed
I read this wrong. Thought it said how can anyone like this guy.
Easy jealousy
Gerald Swindle has saved lives. He's looked one dead in the eye and given them a reason. He's not just a fisherman, he's also an amazing life coach on how to always grind it out and keep your head up no matter what. I'm beyond proud to call myself a fan of his. He did great and left everything this season on the water. God bless you bud. You didn't have to win this to still be considered among the legends of bass fishing.
Timothy Austin did you see his speech last night opening night of the classic? great stuff
Timothy Austin you got that right.
Man it couldn't have happened to a better guy. If you don't like Gerald swindle then something's seriously wrong
Anyone who says bass fishing isn't a sport show them this video. This guy is an athlete at the top of his game.
No question a sport, but they're not athletes
@@Grannyknockers If you fish a 3 or 4 day tournament and hurt from head to toe after nine hours on the water day after day, these guys are most definitely athletes. I have to disagree with you , no other sports game last nine hours for 3 days.
@@1961fireguy golf
@@Grannyknockers Lol that may be the answer!
@@Grannyknockers wow. They burn 6000 calories a day . you're an idiot
truly a stand up guy would fish with him anytime
Craig B B Get outta here, loser. Just a loser mindset...All the positivity in this video and comment section and you come in with the negative and belittling bullshit.
Nothing but smiles . You know when someone truly deserves it when you choke up. Raw emotion . Congrats dude
This is one of the most emotional videos I have ever watched, I'm crying like a baby
Hearin em talk, only reassures me that i can make it, i just have to keep workin at it every single day. Thank you Gerald Swindle!
So I watched this live 3 years ago and cried like a baby. I haven't watched it since then until now, and guess what I cried like a baby again!! Love ya gman!
he's been busting his ass the last 10 yrs for this. he's been thru some shit....and it finally paid off.
DAM GMAN U MADE ME CRY.
Such a class act, he's a true legend
You deserve it man. Your hard work paid off. Your wife must be proud. You're a lucky man to have a woman that supports you like she does.
Still watching this and makes me tear up every time
This was and is the most emotional event I have had the pleasure to watch. Thank you Gerald, and also to your lovely wife Lulu.
All heart here. Powerful ✊. Love watching this guy.
couldn't have happened to a better guy
He is the most deserving of such a title. He is a very humble fisherman who still knows his roots.
I remember fishing inland and logan martin night tournaments and gman being there thinking this guy is nuts, how does he catch them all he does is fly around. End of the night win or lose he shook our hands talked to us and was a genuine guy.
Yep hes never got his roots from fishing at inland as a kid I think if he won 10 classics he would still be the gman very humble guy
Good to see Gerald back on top!! This man is good for the sport!!!
100% complete class-act, super humble and inspiring guy. Doesn't get much better than this!!
22lbs limit of smallies. That’s crazy! Love this guy.
I watched this over and over you can tell the G-MAN loves the sport its not about the money or fame care that hard work and stress paid off getting it done G- MAN hell yeah
that is awesome. he is truefully one of the best guys in fishing. you know that's true when you almost see Mercer bust out in tears on stage. he's one of my favorite guys and he's one of the few who I loved watching and made me want to fish for bass.
Wow that was intense these guys go through more than anyone could ever imagine. Catching something that doesnt wanna be caught for a living is a hard way to live. Congrats Gman
that's a true dedicated man right there.. love every single one do them but he's one of my favorites
He's definitely next level, truly a high quality human being and as real a man that I've met in 59 years!
Raw emotions and a very humble acceptance speech. GMan is a great fisherman and a great representative of the sport.
My favorite dude out there!!! Nobody cooler than this man right here. Feel like I could be big buddies with him and learn a lot from him. Keep casting G!!
talk about motivation man, after this awful tournament season hearing this made me cry haha. Congratulations G-man you earned it.
*after the awful season for me damn autocorrect
If nothing else Gerald Swindle is real and humble. He will admit when he messes up and on the flip side looks for ways to share the credit. A truly inspirational gentleman with a heart as big as the world.
Man I'm so happy he got AOY! such a great, down to earth guy.
By far my favorite fisher this man is awesome and his speech’s are incredible he keeps me going hard on the water trying to reach my goals! He is truly motivating
Could've been a better person to be the angler of the year...a true American inspirational dream
So glad he got it together and made a great speech. The “friends”,part really got me.
Stand up guy. I wanna shake this mans hand. Epic sport.
packed up several of his trophies!! awesome guy! congrats.
this boy deserves every bit of that trophy. awesome guy... now the next guy I would like to see win is Jason Christie
I love G such a humble dude an lulu is one hell of a woman big props to both
One most humble guys in the league
This never gets old
Hopes this man wins the bassmaster classic as well one day...great guy all the way!
Gerald, you are THE man! And you're dead wrong, because you ARE a legend
He makes a common man feel proud!😊
The first time I cried watching a weigh in. Wouldn't be the last. ❤
Still proud of the G man. still a proud moment
An Extremely Great And Professional Man Not To Mention He's Funny..👍
Way to go Gerald!!! Can't wait to see you again at deer camp with Rook!
An inspiration for all. Well deserved.
Congratulations Swindles!!!
Y’all inspire me. Ily2, ty y’all
I watched this live in 2016 and cried. Now I’m watching it in 2022 and tears fill my eyes. No one deserves this win more than the G-Man.
What a class act! Congrats G Man on the AOY. Very inspiring and a great role model.
Stand up guy! Gotta respect the passion!
G-Man, my favourite! Congratulations.
Way to go GMan...dang hate when I get stuff in my eyes. That's an awesome couple right there. Seeing my two of my favorite anglers on the stage handling the trophy, priceless.
Congrats G-man, well deserved.
G-Man. You are a legend.
congrats g man truly inspirational words...
Highest of highs!Congratulations on your AOY win!💥👊
“You take this shirt off I’m still going fishing”. The guy is an inspiration for everyone.
Man I build concrete foundations an it sucks all I want is to be on that stage everyone looks at me like I’m crazy. I’m gonna be there one day to prove them all wrong. I have a burning in my gut for it I had a drug addiction that got in my way for a long time an now that I’m away from it all I think about is fishing. Congrats on the win man hope to see you up there again
Always hope he gets a classic trophy
