What an awesome speech. He's not only a great bass fisherman but he's also a damn fine human being. You just don't see many guys this humble and modest anymore.The G-man will always be my favorite fisherman!!!!!!!!!!!
passion in this sport is key. i have been bass fishing since i was 5 years old... when i teenager my grandfather taught me how to fish tournaments in the great state of ohio, where i fished with the wooster bassmasters and qualified for the regional championships in the federation at 14 years old. i love this sport more then anything in this world... then my grand father and my whole family moved to Santee Cooper in south carolina where i fished tournaments with my father for years qualified for the 6 man twice when i was 17 ... and won 1 torunament on lake wateree as a non boater and had a top ten finish on lake keowee catching spotted bass all day with randy vaughn my dad finished 5th and i was right behind him tugging on his coat tails in 6th place... i truly love this sport more then anything in this world it has been my entire life and one day... one day i will hoist a. bass trophy above my head... g man always talked about PMA and passion and if we all can do that we can do anything...
G Man, God has blessed you in many ways, bud. That speech was something I definitely needed to hear. I'm sure there are plenty others that feel the same. Keep up the good work. God bless!
One of the best damn speeches I've ever heard in my life G! You deserve that second AOY more than anybody brother! When I'm havin a bad day and the chips are down I always think back to all the things you preached about a Positive Mental Attitude. That's got me through some damn rough times these past few months when I thought all was lost but I never gave up cause of you man. You inspire me so much.
G man... I'm sure you'll never read this comment, however, if you do. Thank you! I'm a 45 year old man, going thru some life struggles and just been wondering who I am, and where to turn. Your speech just hit me to the core...... I've lost confidence in the man that I am, and what you just said rings in my head. It's a better day for me, because of your words. Bless you! And have a blessed day. Time to wipe these tears and "get back on the field and return this punt". You have a new fan!
Brother i know its 2 years later but keep your head up and remember P.M.A (positive mental atitude) I'm in the same boat as you with struggling but i always keep a pma so you can as well head up chin forward and chest out you got this
@@atthebrink74 It's been a while. Things are much better. Time heals a lot of wounds, and finding myself again and who I know I am has helped a ton. PMA does wonders, along with a great support system. Good luck to you and hang in there. Better days ahead!
They talk about KVD, MDJ, Mark Zona, Bill Dance , Hank Parker and a whole lotta other big name star's in the Bass fishing world, But to a million other good ole " Country Boy's " like myself, The G Man is the true " GOAT" of Bass fishing !!!!
Dang G why you gotta cut onions on my laptop? You and Lulu are relationship, as well as life goals. I pray to God that me and my wife can get to that stage. God bless you brother.
I met Mr Hartley. He was pre fishing a place called walkers dam on chickominy river where i was just working on the dam I was telling. Him what locals were doing and he would not use the information because it was against the rules the next morning on a Saturday Charlie was late leaving and I was late to work but I waited for Charlie to come out of the latrine and now I was later to work a asked him to sign my hat and of course he did and I said go getem Charlie I'm rooting for you,. You would. Think I just told the biggest lie to Mr Hartley but I told him well Charlie that's why your going fishing and I'm going to work thank God for people living their dream thank you Mr Hartley

Gman needs to be a motivational speaker when the road ends in bass.
Amen Gerald, you are an inspiration to all of us. Remember it’s either black or brown ( jig). Thank You
Most passionate fisherman out there. Guy is a true champion and an amazing mentor to so many. Thanks Swindle!!

Always liked him but after just hearing this- he may just be my favorite angler.
Got me crying like a little girl..

I am a very hard person to deal with sometimes....but after hearing this ,,,,I had to whipe the tears from my eyes
Great speech G-Man ! Super emotional man I understand you bro
Between G's speech and J Lee's winning speech... dang.. such inspiration!
Amazing speech, if you couldn't feel that then I don't know what to say.
when he choked up i lost it XD
Very inspirational speech! You represent bass fishing with style! Now go get that Classic Win! We believe!!!
He may never win the the titles as others but his heart is bigger than any trophy.
God bless you Gman.
Dang G why you gotta cut onions on my laptop? You and Lulu are relationship, as well as life goals. I pray to God that me and my wife can get to that stage. God bless you brother.
There are many skills you can polish or learn through the years, but you can’t teach heart. You either have it, or you don’t.
Unreal
