I think y'all are hiding the fact that you are brothers. I have so much respect for your friendship and faith. You both are so skilled at your profession. Your faith and love for your families is the bigger picture in life. God bless you.
Love these 2 guys. Great to finally hear Otts story of success. Being men of faith makes it better. I noticed there are some thumbs down for this video. How could anyone in their right mind not enjoy stories of rags to riches??? Love you guys as brother in CHRIST and cant wait to get autograph and picture with both of ya. God Bless
My goodness what a story heart goes out to you ott. Keep doing you. Your the best for sure. God bless you and miss Jenny. Hope the best for sure. Good luck for the rest of the season.
Man this little series of Ott and MDJ are incredible. Love to hear the stories and sticking through the rough patches til they find what they set out for from the beginning. I really really hope to see more of these with even more anglers. Incredible stuff EE
I'm the same age as ott and started the same time fishing tournaments around 8. Use to put the boat on the trailer after the tournament. Dad had a new truck and the boat wasn't anything to write home about. Guys floating around in loaded new boats waiting on their trailer... Look over and here's this little kid driving this boat and slipping it on the trailer. I just got a good paying job after college and was scared to take that chance. My father and grandfather fished flw and BASS all my life and I knew how much everyone sacrificed. Hats off to ya. Glad it worked and you are such a great spokesperson on that stage for the sport and Christianity ....
Man so refreshing 😌to see you guys talk and laugh together about your career start and fishing. The passion you can feel it as you guys talk🙂. Make me smile the whole conversation ☺. Thanks for sharing this story ❤.
Great video. Love listening to you two. E, as long as you hit your ball first it doesn't matter what happens after that....Love listening to men of faith!!!!
What an awesome video, I love hearing how you got started. All the sacrifices you and Jennie made over the years when you were just chasing your dream to be a "professional" angler. My fondest memory of your career was when you won the classic and I'm not sure if it was Abby or Lizzy but her little speech was so sweet, made tears in my eyes!! Your one of the best to play the game with awesome support from your family. Keep up the great work 👍
Just got through watching this and all I can say is awesome. That was so cool and would definitely love to see more vids like it. Great to hear the stories of the trials, tribulations, and successes of what it takes to be a professional fisher person. There are ladies out there trying to make it as well. Thank you for the videos and all the work you do in getting them out. Tight Lines.
Wonderful, wonderful video.... I hope you intend to make this a series. I'm really interested to hear your story Edwin. I have several favorites but I can sincerely say you and Ott are my most favorite and couldn't represent this sport any better. Hats off to you both! 👍
Wow im not gonna lie i think I have a new favorite fisherman after hearing that story. I can't imagine how amazing it is for you and your wife to look back knowing what u started with and went through to get to this incredible position you guys are in now, started with nothing but love and a dream and now you have sponsors knocking down your door new boats and trucks every year and not stressing on money week to week... Wow... I wish you and your family nothing but the best Ott!!
Phenomenal story! For Jenni to FULLY support Ott's dream from day one & thru those early low to no extra money year's is both a testament to their relationship with each other and their relationship with Christ. Even more impressed with him after this video! Edwin, thank YOU, for being such a good, supportive friend, that you would offer to share his story on your TH-cam Channel. Equally impressed by your Sportsmanship. I always look forward to your E2 episodes. Keep'em Coming...Keep catching those bass!
Wow guys. That’s a great video. Best of luck for both of y’all. Story of OTT DEFOE. loved it. Glad to see y’all doing well. Could only wish for myself. Absolutely love catching green scales. It’s an adventure for sure good days and tough ones for sure.
It is all these struggles along the way that make you guys as driven and determined to win, that most people don't know about and it's great to get to see everything isn't as easy as it may appear.
Two of my favorite anglers. Both are not only great fishermen just good people. Great story Ott and thanks Edwin for the vid. Best of luck to both of you in the heavy hitters event coming up
Fishing as a coangler is an experience. My 2nd everstart was on table rock lake drew out with a kid in a new ranger he was on em . His small mouth were schooling white bass . He thought they were small mouth .
This is Awesome. I love hearing these kind of stories. We as Fans appreciate these stories. I am a Huge Ott DeFoe Fan, and of course a Fan of yours Mr. Evers, this video has made up my mind, to Purchase a Johnny Morris Bass Pro Shops Carbonlite Combo. Thank you so much for this video. I Love you guys, and God Bless you both.
E2 I enjoyed this video brother. I'm an Edwin Evers fan to the core. That guy right there with no shoes is a very close second. The two of you are so much alike. Awesome people to the core. Keep professing the faith. Thanks for sharing. God bless, safe travels and best of luck always.
You guys are my favorite love to watch MLF because of you guys. Took class taught by double e in Tulsa hope ott comes to Tulsa to teach fishing better yet I volunteer to set in boat and watch youall fish
I can remember back in 2013 or 2014 I fished the ott defoe worm burner classic on douglas lake came in third and won a bass pro cranking stick straight out of otts boat .. Very cherished memory .
This is great hearing Otts story. You do a great job of interviewing him! This is awesome, thanks Edwin! Yall make sure to keep your day jobs fishing cause billiards 🎱won't be paying the bills 🤣

Wow what an eye opener this video has been, cant thank you enough on how far Iv strayed from our dear lord and bountiful water bodies he provides to catch his bounty.... thank you thank you, getting home exhausted from work watching this video was so remarkable to my spirit, thank you Edwin and Ott...
Ott: I know where you fished on April 7. Best kept secret on the East coast. Keep it to yourself. Beautiful lake! I am sure you did better than I did. Nothing but dinks for me! I could not find them today; they were not in the back like I thought they would be.
Very admirable of the woman who Supported you getting started! Very selfless.. Wondering who helped you get your first boat since you had it at such a young age?
What a great story! I love that your doing these interviews with Christian guys! There are so many stories out there of how God pulls us through rough times, and as the Bible says, "gives us the desires of our heart"! He put those desires there, and he can fulfill them if we have the faith to let him! Keep these going, I love heartwarming stories where God does his thing!
Edwin, great interview with ott. I new some of this listening to his JOJ videos. Edwin, do you have any you- tube videos where you give the history of your own fishing career? 🎣🐟
Love how you two guys unashamedly share your faith!

Awesome video. Great story. I noticed Ott Defoe still doesn’t believe in shoes.

Hard to say enough about Ott's dad and Edwin's dad (parents) for supporting dreams even thought they weren't the mainstream way of making a living.
