Realtree Fishing's Pond Wars | Ultimate Bass Fishing Competition | Pros and Joes of Bass Fishing

Realtree Fishing's Pond Wars bass fishing competition is back for 2023! The event, which was held in March at Live Oak Plantation in Adel, Georgia, paired the world’s best bass anglers with outdoor personalities and influencers in a wild competition of outdoor fun.
Pond Wars takes place each spring on managed trophy bass lakes in the South, where competitors are sure to find incredible fishing action. This year’s event was expanded to include a two-day fishing format coupled with surprise, off-the-water challenges like golf and archery. Pond Wars II was hosted by country music star Jon Langston, and included names recognizable to any outdoor fan. Top professional anglers including Dustin Connell, Casey Ashely, Mark Daniels Jr., Mark Rose, Jacob Wheeler, and Justin Atkins were paired with hunting personalities like Seek One’s Lee Ellis and Drew Carroll, Head Hunters TV’s Nate Hosie, Black Cloud’s Dennis Loosier and Billy Campbell, and Realtree’s Michael Pitts.
Pitts, who scored zero catches in last year’s event, was paired with Wheeler, who is rated as the top professional angler in the world. Tune in to see if they stood a chance against teams like Justin Atkins and Drew Carroll, who were defending their title after being crowned last year’s Pond Wars champions.
Rules for Pond Wars competitors are simple: follow all DNR laws and be back to the dock on time. The team with the heaviest five-fish limits, combined after the two fishing periods, is crowned champion. Pond Wars is a serious competition, with lots of laughs thrown in the mix. Production crews capture each catch, and all the missed opportunities, in real time.
All competitors can be seen sporting the latest Realtree Fishing hats and apparel, which is available directly at the all-new Realtree.com (fishing shirts will be 30% off July 14-16!).

[@jordanpohutsky9033]

[@angelnegron6798]

You need to do a Le Mans start. They swim to their boat to start the contest. 😂😂

[@JasonSullivanBigBass]

MDJ biggen my man

[@hunterbooth8578]

This shows how bad some folks are with no electronics @Dustin Connell

[@flyhog8574]

Lee seems like the kind of guy that would be a great friend that you get into at least one knock down drag out fight with each year over a competition he dreamt up for y’all to do. Lol.

[@justinatkinsfishing1097]

If you only knew 😂

[@bigmikebassin]

Man I'm just trying to find out where they find the average Joe's. I feel like a couple of them just knew the right person. 😆 🤣 😂.

[@ahfishing2299]

Jacob scared him when he called that weight

[@15trucklt83]

Okay. Let’s be honest. You guys are on 100k bass boats in small lakes. These aren’t ponds.
Do this competition while bank fishing smaller bodies of water.

[@CajunCountryOutdoors]

What the heck happened to Billy's beard? LOL

[@bennettetheridge7430]

Where is this?

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

Oh hell no I wouldn't have agreed to leave the body of water after the tournament has started. That's some baby back b s*** there. I fish tournaments on the regular and if they came up to me and I was the only boat with a five-fish limit and they said the other boats want to go to a different lake I would have told him to take a flying leap too!

[@kortlanhammons4158]

Great video but Justin yelling at Drew about the net. Coming in first probably is rare occurrence for Justin. Glad Drew won tho having to fish with that kind of a guy he deserves it.

[@Hatcheeproductions]

Pitts more than made up for last year haha

[@realtree]

Thanks for watching!

[@Saps_bigbaits]

Something tells me it wasn't a dream that happened with the clown

[@BadersBassin]

[@fadethenoise9704]

Jesus Justin. I know your not used to competing for first. Relax. Yelling at your co-angler during basically a charity derby? 🤡

[@justinatkinsfishing1097]

He is my buddy and it’s just part of the show. Chill

[@toozwraps]

[@winterwolf13]

[@CHASIN_A_BASS]

[@justinatkinsfishing1097]

[@CHASIN_A_BASS]

@@justinatkinsfishing1097 kool but if its pond wars, it should only be Jon boats ,kayak or bank fishing. This is basically regular tournament fishing with added events

[@scottfrost8956]

[@YippeeKyyay]

[@tcross1915]

[@dangerose9210]

Watching a 5 hour bass master replay is easier because it's actually fishing this shows goofy

[@scrollnreel2851]
