Happy New Year All! Hope you enjoy this show. Please remember to LIKE this video & thank G for being on the show by following his You Tube channel - youtube.com/@GeraldGMANSwindle
Always love the shows! 110 % agree, Randy Blaukut is a IDIOT! Not sure about all the likers?
Man….. this whole positive / negative stuff…. Man that got me, I wear the PMA bracelet every day….. and G doesn’t know me from Adam, but this dude saved my life years ago!!!!!
G man is truly GENUINE this is great. Had opportunity to visit with G media day at the classic, inspiring. Thank you Dave great interview
He is truly one of the best
Gerald Swindle is truly inspiring, his passion for all he believes in is quite contagious! I’ve taken his PMA to heart and try to remember it and live by first the Word of God and second a positive mental attitude! Thanks for the vid and your great guests!
I totally agree. I get inspired every time we talk. Thank you for watching
@@factsoffishing you bet!
Proud that GMAN is from our favorite town in Alabama. He’s real. And I love his jig fishing advice. Keep it simple. Just a gentle reminder. No need to crack on Randy. His message on Conservation and habitat protection needs to be adopted by all of us.
Thanks for watching Keith, It’s a very real and honest show. We can all learn from each other
Gerald is the best down to Earth honest to your face this is how I am fisherman and person 😎This is why I love to hear him speak 😊🤝Awesome
Swindle is real and that is what makes him a fan favorite. Hope he wins the classic this year. I will be there with my son and it is our first.
Thanks for watching. You are correct being real is everything. As far as the Classic, it’s awesome to hear you & your son are attending your first classic this year. It is truly one of those events that if you attend one you don’t want to miss another. Hope you enjoy it. If possible please track me down at the Classic to say hello, I would love to meet you guys.
U want him to win one bad we gonna party like its 1999 🤔...... oh wait....but u catch my drift
This one was great, being a native Alabamian, Gerald has always been great and one of the guys I wish I could meet for sure!
Gerald has saved my mental life. He has brought me back to ground. I had been a subscriber to Randy Blaukat channel and it was so negative about everything. I don’t own FFS and I feel impacted by his channel. I’m sure he has a great amount of knowledge and I’m sure he is a great conservationist but the sport just doesn’t need negativity. I just come back to Gerald when I need uplifted. Awesome interview Dave.
Thanks Kevin, G is a great influence on so many of us. Myself included
Best podcast I’ve seen in a long time 2 real humble hard workin guys ! World needs more of this!
Thank you so much. We are both so thankful to be able to do what we get to do.
Great Show! Love the Content! Thanks!! G-MAN is a great person on and off the water!
I genuinely love listening to Gerald whenever I get the chance. He's incredibly humble and respectful to everybody regardless of their accolades, from top tier anglers to beginners. Would love to fish with him one day!
G is truly one of a kind. He is a great dude to spend time with. Thanks for watching Evan
Pure gold. The attitude, the mental psychological mindset all the way to your body language means so much . The smallest detail can make you or break you.
Attitude is everything
I wish I would have heard of G Man sooner!! I love hearing his speech, he sales the brand, putting motivational speech into his fishing experiences and talking real life!!! God Bless y'all and Thank You!!
G is incredible. I really enjoyed this conversation
Agreed w G-man on Blauket!
Dave you have the BEST interviewing skills! Too many people ask questions and then step on the guest when they answer. Your ability to sit back and let the guest talk delivers! Great work. Subscribed.
Thank you so much Chet, I learned a long time ago you learn with your ears not your mouth. I truly appreciate you noticing.
Great show! G is real as it gets.
That’s the truth. G is incredible
Love the honesty and agree with all of it. Keep on keeping on
UNBELIEVABLE...THIS GUY IS AWESOME! HE IS A SUPERSTAR! I AM PULLING FOR A WIN FOR HIM THIS YEAR!
You and I both
Swindle’s the best. Him and Andy Morgan are my favorites. 2 of the absolute best casters
2 of the very best
I was able to watch Andy Morgan in person last year tackle a 1/4 mile stretch of docks with a jig, it was pure perfection, he went through that stretch in about 1/10th of the time it would take us mere mortals to do it that effectively :)
Dave the fact that you take the time to read all your comments and reply is something I will always respect about you keep up the incredible work 👊.
Thank you very much. At times it takes me a while but I always try to read and respond to every one. If you guys are willing to take the time to comment, then I should be willing to respond. With out you guys this show & this channel is nothing. Thank you
@@factsoffishing solidarity to your peeps! It’s one of the reasons why I’m here every week, too! Thanks Dave and guests (love ya G)!
Thanks again Dave for another awesome podcast. As a bass angler in Australia who has followed the scene for a very long time I love that you bring these amazing anglers into our lounge rooms and give us a very REAL unmarketed introduction to who they really are and what it takes to be at that level. Thank god got people like Gerald !!
Thanks so much Mike, I truly appreciate your kind words. The whole goal with this show is to really show the amazing people in this sport.
Lots of wisdom in that conversation, could listen to Gerald all day. Thanks for a great show, Dave. Hope I get a chance to talk to you both at the Classic.
Thanks Kevin, I totally agree, I loved this conversation. Please make sure to track me down and say hello at the classic. I will be at take off every morning.
Every content creator out there needs to hear what was just said...this is gold.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed this conversation myself. I’m curious what parts stood out for you?
@@factsoffishing When G was talking about content creators and other social media influencers being themselves.
@@SimplyFishingI figured so but I always like to ask.
And this is why I love Gerald Swindle and have mad respect for this guy! The world needs more people like him. Listening to this podcast interview has made me really step back and think about life. A lot of real points in this one. Great interview Dave! Keep up the good work sir!
What a great podcast! All anglers wanting to get to this level of fishing should watch this episode. Swindle puts it like it is, there isn't anything fake about G; and what he says should hit hime with everyone. Thank you for putting this together!
Just finished the full video . Dave you have definitely outdone yourself with this podcast ! Best video that I have watched on TH-cam ! G man love ya brother ! You represent the sport 2nd to none ! Dave keep this guy coming back !
Thanks Very much, I love having conversations with G and he is ALWAYS welcome on this show. I am sure we will do another one soon.
My dear Grandmother taught me early and often that "life is too short not to laugh every day"! I try to live that lesson every day. Many days that comes from catching up with one of my favorite humans.... GMan! You are so much more than a pro fisherman; you are a great encourage'r and inspire'r. Your truth is what is right in this world and it makes me challenge myself to follow your example.
Your Grandmother taught you well. Thanks for watching
Just got a chance to listen...this is the stuff I love to listen to. 2 greats speaking the truth.
Thank you so much. It was a really fun conversation
this was pure gold!!!
G always is
Great show I can listen too swindle day in and day out a true ambassador and real man of the sport thanks from Grand Lake in Oklahoma
You and I both. Swindle is always amazing to listen too
Thanks for lifting up Matt and Om Em he’s a hometown boy who hopefully will teach people different is ok!!!
Matt get no shortage of love on this show
@@factsoffishing I love the show and wish you the best!!!
Could listen to Gman teach all day! Thanks for sharing.
Me too obviously by the length of the show 😂
Really, really appreciate hearing from two dudes that gets life and to hear men talking from the heart and I loved it. thanks to both of you for making a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s hard to make a successful podcast without being negative but thanks to people like you I think we are doing it!
Enjoyed that so much.A lot of truth spoken.
Glad you enjoyed it. It’s always a good chat with G
What a fantastic episode. Love it every time swindle is on. Thanks dave
Thanks Michael, I could talk to G for days
@factsoffishing I think we'd all be eager to hear that one
Like G man you know where he comes from could listen to him all day
You and I both Todd. G is incredible
@@factsoffishing yes he is
It’s about time!!! Missed you last week!!
YES!! GMan is back!!!
Thanks Frank, I missed all you guys too. Glad to be back.
Great interview. Love G man!
Thank you sir. What a great podcast so motivating and inspiring. Makes you think about being yourself. Love it.
Thanks so much Pat, Life is too short not to be real #enjoybeing
Always great to see GMAN. Great guest, great angler, and a great human being.
He is one of a kind
This is the most enjoyable post I’ve seen. I was a 13 fishing rod fan when fate black first came out. And when they picked up up I payed attention to what you did and what you said about 13 fishing rods. All the rods I use now are 13 fishing and I appreciate the time and effort you put into making a better product.
Thanks so much for watching Bill, Gerald truly is an incredible guest and person
Awesome conversation with the G-Man! Very fun, interesting & educational to hear him discuss his business dealings including social media & being consistent. Not a coincidence that Carl is in the Classic after being “schooled “ by G-Man.
Thanks David, I truly enjoy this whole conversation. Can’t wait to see Carl in the Classic
Have been following G for over 20 years now. Had the opportunity to meet him at Okeechobee this year. What a truly good human being. He gave me tips on following my dreams. About to be at our 3rd straight classic and hope to one day be on that stage. See yah there Dave. Feel like it's the year of G.
Gman is such an inspiration. I wish I could have an hr long conversation with him just to be able to soak up everything. Man is just so wise and an idle.
Thank you Dave and G Man for the time you put in to our sport, I hope one day to meet you both in person
Thank you so much Danny, We both love what we do. Hope to shake your hand one day in the future
My New Year’s resolution? To be a better human being than I was last year. Also, to be as real as G man is. Respect to the both of you. Two of my favourite’s in the game. Love y’all, all the best in 2023.
Thank you so much. Happy New Year to you and yours
Great show Gerald is a smart down to earth guy and tells it like it is!! Thanks Dave
Thanks John, G sure is and it’s the way we should all try to be. Life is much easier when you are real
Fantastic interview from GMAN. Thank you for sharing 📹 👍 It was 83 here today which was great 👍
Thanks Rod, G is great. However it hurt me to read 83 😫
The social media portion of the podcast is pure GOLD! It needs to be it's own clip.
Thanks Matt, It was a great conversation. Who knows, it may be it’s own clip soon.
GREAT INTERVIEW....
It’s so much fun with G
INCOMPARABLE!!!!!!!!!!💓
Amen
You are the stern of bass fishing! Awesome interview! I think 2023 is G's year!!
Wow that’s a huge compliment. I love Howard! I can’t wait to party with G when he wins
Sorry Dave but I couldn’t find the comment section on Gerald’s TH-cam channel so I’ll say THANK YOU GERALD you are very good with the way you think you sound like you come from my country Lake Oahe you and your wife are great folks
G deserves to hear it because he made this conversation what it was. I tagged him so he should see your comment @GeraldGMANSwindle
Great way to start the year. G-man is one of a kind and he is real.
Thanks Mark, I appreciate the support as always. G truly is as real as they get
Gman I love watching you fish and talk! I came into the sport within the last few years. Anything I find with you in it I love watching and learn from it!
He is a great person to learn from. Happy to have you as part of this sport.
G for a Classic win!
I would so love that
Best interview yet. As someone who has spent nearly 4 years in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine and retiried after nearly 25 years wearing the uniform the state of the country is not as bad as the media paints it and the BASS industry is doing well. The haters are going to hate no matter what, PMA Positive Mental Attitude God Bless you and Gerald Swindle for your amazing attitudes about life. We get one shot at this game called Life and I want to leave this world tired and hopefully I was able to make a difference in someones life in a positive way.
Thanks very much James, First off thank you for your service.
You are correct about attitude being everything. Life is too short to waste a day being pissed. #EnjoyBeing
I really enjoyed this podcast very much. I watch every tournament on Bass Live especially the weigh in just to see what G-Man is going to say. He has a very positive impact on so many people's lives including mine.
Glad you enjoyed it Bill, thanks for watching Live as much as you do. The world sure needs more people like G.
Absolutely awesome interview!!!
Great job to both of you!!!
This is a must watch for anybody!!!
Thanks very much Cowboy, G is incredible
Everything Gman said was absolutely on point. I'm 28 years old. I come grew up on a small lake with both parents and 3 other brokes in a small 3 bedroom 1 bath house. We had the worst rusty water, and our restroom hardly worked most of the time. I couldn't wear certain color clothes because our water would ruin them. Often times we needed to heat our house with an electric stove. We didn't have air conditioning. We used food banks to get by or dad and i would go catch dinner, either in the summer or on the ice here in Indiana. As I got older, I started to see what the other kids had that I didn't. I felt like I could never fit in. I didnt want the other kids to know where I came from or where I lived because in a way I was embarrassed. I didn't invite any friends over and often times they would ask why I never had anyone over not knowing I was embarrassed. As I grew up, I realized that it was up to me to accept it, or change it. Thankfully, I changed it. But in a sense I feel as if where I came from made me who I am. If I wanted new clothes, new shoes, new fishing gear, I had to work on it. I had to help the farmer who's property we hunted. Aunts, uncles. And in a sense, that's helped me as I'm getting older. Now being 28, I have a nice truck, I have a newer nitro, and a house I recently built. Most importantly I'm a father to a healthy 6 year old son. Hearing G man talk about how more people just need to he themselves, and not shy away from who they are or who they come from. It touched me. And still to this day only a select few know where I come from. In March, I'm going to spectate the 2023 bassmaster classic and my goal is to meet Mr. Swindle. I've got one question for him that I've always wanted to ask that I think all viewers would want to know. If I get the chance, I'm going to ask it. To this day my dream will never change. And that's to make a living fishing just like Gman has. Thanks again sir for being you, and allowing people like me to accept who they are and where they come from. I'm very blessed in many ways.
Thanks for sharing your incredible story Jordan, I really appreciate you listening. Please try find me at this years Classic and introduce yourself to me. I would love to say hi 👋
@Dave Mercer Thank you Mr. Mercer. You are certainly on my list of idols to meet! Safe travels this March.
Loved every second of this, but had to pause it for Mr. Ken Block. Thanks for the shoutout to him, nice recognition🙏🙏🙏🏁🏁🏁🤘
🙏🙏🙏
That's funny cliff pace came up * cuz I thought he kinda looked grumpy ! Dont know him ! Now the G man ** Needs to run for President!! Everyone loves G ! He slept in his truck in the day also ! Came along way ! 🙏🙏 Another Gem dave ! Happy new year ****
It’s funny I had a very similar conversation with Cliff. Wish he had have been a lot more real but it’s all good. Everyone’s life is there life to live the way you want. I just think it would have done amazing things for his career but then again he is a classic champion and I am just the dude that holds the mic 😂
Wow what a podcast no one better to have on. Love G that was so good. Thanks Sir. Totally enjoyed.
Thanks James, G is always one of my favourites
Dave, my resolution is to get my 1986 skeeter with a 150 mercury black max back on the lake after 20 years in my garage. My wife of 30 years passed away after battling cancer for four years in 2004. She wanted to go out in the boat and because it had not been used since we found out she had cancer I didn't get it ready in time. So it has set in the garage all these years. I live on a lake but just go out back and fish from shore. I'm on a fixed budget but hope it won't cost to much. Thank you and Gerald for this awesome video. 🎣❤
Hey Mike, That sounds like a great resolution. Getting back out on the water sounds like just the kind of therapy you could use. I am Sorry to hear about your loss but excited to hear about your future adventures in your boat
@@factsoffishing Thanks Dave I will give you a update when I get back on the water.
This man is what everyone should model themselves as! People like Gerald, make the world a better place. Have a safe and healthy fishing season. Dave Mercer, you are a terrific guy as well. Love the content, please keep it coming. I'd love to see some Canadian guys on your show. Bob Izumi, Fishing Canada guys, Mike Miller etc
Totally agree G is one of a kind, the world needs more like him. As far as guests you never know who is going to show up on this show.
Dave, are you still running a Phoenix Bass Boat? If so, what are your unbiased thoughts?
Now THAT’S a way to start a New Year!! Kudos Dave on another banger for this humper…(wait..what) Great show my friend!! See ya in Knoxville!!
Thanks Tim, that’s a lot of humping and banging 😂. See ya in Knoxville!
Always watch the G Man. His outlook on life is so refreshing.
It really is. I truly enjoy this conversation.
Absolute legend on and off the water. Still one of the highlights of my short tournament fishing career was being able to meet and compete against G in a bass master open. Can't wait on the new season hope you and Sarah are doing well brother. Great video as always Dave
Thanks Wolf, G is incredible and I can’t wait for the elites to kick off in a couple of weeks
God bless you 2 for being so honest and down to earth hope I can meet y’all next time you come to pickwick
Thanks Shannon, You should come to the Classic in Knoxville. We will both be there.
He’s 100% correct on Randy. His channel is like watching the news…he just rants about what he doesn’t like constantly and people eat it up
Randy has always been good to me but I understand he is not for everyone. However there is most likely people that feel the same about me or any of the anglers.
Dave I have to tell you I’m sorry for not watching your podcast , today I watched the one with Gerald I just got done watching 2022 Redcrest sorry and then I turned the channel and watched the half hour of the Classic and an hour of watching interviews of others on the water all in 2021 or 22 and at the same time I picked up my phone and your show came up and I watched it now I’m going to watch it every darn time I can it’s very good THANK YOU
No need to apologize for not watching in the past. I am glad you finally watched and enjoyed. Hope you enjoy future show just as much.
One question out of curiosity. Why did you not watch until now? What kept you away?
Simplicity and Honesty
G is great
Thank you, Dave and Gerald! Great interview Dave! Gerald is one of my favorites.
I would love someone to have a tournament where all the anglers have to fish the same five baits. All they can change is the color and size of those five baits. That would certainly help determine who was the best angler on that day. Then, on the final day, everyone uses the same five baits, color, and size.
Thank you for watching. That’s a unique idea for sure.
And I totally agree that people are way more compelling when they can just be real. Great stuff and be real!
Awesome podcast! 😊. You are not allowed a break. Lol. Welcome back 😊
Thanks Dave it's always a great podcast when you have G-Man on I always leave with a more positive attitude thanks
Thanks Paul, I agree, I left this show feeling the same way
Thank you, Dave and GMan I stopped fishing Tournaments 3 years Ago in Oz because of the way things were run, and Covid hit at the same time but listening to what G went through and coming back to bass, Has given me a spark and a fire to give it another go. Or do the Hobie events in OZ. I think I will be watching this interview more than once. PS.the advice G has given Carl J is gold he needed you around him a lot earlier. Thank you both for The most Amazing 1.54.21 minutes of a Thursday Night in Sydney Australia ....That was better than the fireworks on New Year's eve. Hands down.
Thanks very much Chris, it makes me so happy to know our simple conversation lit the spark in you again. It’s going to be incredible to see Carl in this years Classic.
I just realized I sat here for 2 hours watching this!
Thanks for watching. I think that’s a compliment 😂
Another great interview....How can ya not like G. Still waiting for someone to interview you Dave.....G maybe...hmmm
Thanks very much. I agree G is incredible. Not sure anyone wants to listen to me being interviewed 😂
Happy New Year. Mine is Im grateful when I wake up every morn.
That’s a wonderful way to live live. We all should think like that
You guys nailed it on the head. It doesn’t matter who it is. Always a negative person and/or hatter.
I have what I thought ‘was’ friends that don’t say shit when I post a pig. But as soon as I post a two 2 pounder they run their mouth. Then turn around and ask me to help them setup media on their rig.
I am a firm believer in being the change I want to see in the world
Hear it in my work as well. People complain about the job in front of them and I tell them having work to do is better than not having work to do. We spend a good portion of our lives working, so I make work enjoyable because I am not going to spend my life pretending that I am unfortunate because I can find someone better off than me. I can more easily find someone worse off.
Thanks Moonpies, Those are some great words to live by
Love GMAN. He is the man. Dave Mercer is the GOAT of the emcee world. One day I will get to meet MERCER. I need your autograph Dave, to hang next to GMAN's in my garage.
Thanks for watching and supporting. I hope to meet you also. If you want an autograph sooner just send me your address and I will send ya one
G is a legend! Simply the greatest personality in the sport!
I love me some G
Gotta love the G-Man
Dave your adding what is needed in the fish head sport, showing the personality of the athlete's. You always ask the guest what the fans want to know. Even when gman has the wheel.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words. Showing off the great personality’s of the pros has always been the goal of this show
Love it
It’s hard not to love G
Dave I met you at Santee last year. Impressed by your professionalism on the mic at home or the road. Love the conversations with these guys. Great work
Thanks very much Kevin, I truly love my job & I appreciate your support
This was absolutely the best interview I’ve heard. Not so much the fishing part, but the rules for life. Be honest, be proud of yourself, GMan and Dave Mercer have an amazing connection to make for such a great interview
Thanks very much. I truly enjoyed this conversation. I can’t thank G enough for his openness and honesty.
I knew who Gerald swindle was before this but now I'm a big fan, he's speaking the truth!
Very cool, I love to hear that
Man what a great pod cast Dave. Gman is one of a kind and I’m in the baitroom this morning building baits and really enjoyed this while I’m getting some orders put together. Thank you and happy new year
Thanks for watching Shawn, Glad you enjoyed, G is incredible. It’s always a good conversation with Swindle. Hope those baits you made are fish catchers 👍
Great podcast! I have an enormous amount of respect for both of you guys.
Thank you so much Andrew, I truly appreciate your support
Over the last 3 years Kyle has taken me under his wing and it has been truly a blessing to build a friendship with Welcher and he is incredibly humble. I was sitting next to Hunter when they came to get her right before weighing in on the final day of the Classic because Scott was already done so I was off. And talking to him in backstage after he truly was Stone Cold Kyle Welcher. But in talks he has said 13 came calling after G and Wheeler said they needed him.
The dude is a hammer but still humble enough to say it wasn’t all me. I had help and also holds G and Lulu in high regards. Because not only has G took him under his wing but Lulu has as well with Hunter.
Sounds like you are hanging with some great people. One of the keys to life is surrounding yourself with good folks.
@@factsoffishing dad always told me not what you know but who. I’ve been truly blessed to get in with the likes of greatness
I love Forward facing Sonar. I don't have it on my boat, but it has made more room for us shallow water bank beaters!!
There ya go Barry. That’s a positive spin on FFS
Gman is a great guy and very down to earth
For sure G is one of the best
Great show! I will be attending my First ever Classic this year and can’t wait! Been on my bucket list since I was a youngster.
Thanks very much. It’s great to hear you will be at the Classic. Please try track me down and introduce yourself to me. Even if it’s just for a quick hand shake it would be great to see ya.
@@factsoffishing That Sir I will try and do for sure. Hope to meet you in person.
Tell it boys!!! Tell it on!!! 😆💪
G is the best
Great way to start the new year! So much can be learned listening to Mr. Swindle. Such a class act and great human being. You gentlemen had my full attention tonight.
Thanks Jim, I could listen to G talk for Days
Always a great guest
That’s the truth Bobby
I never heard of dude wipes until I heard Gerald talking about them. I have some since then,he is one of a kind dude
G introduced me to Dude Wipes also 😂
