Dave, you weren’t kidding when you said that Rick Clunn had something golden to say!! He’s so invested in the young anglers and the sport itself. Lots of wisdom right there! These guys that are shaming these young anglers should be ashamed of themselves, give credit where it’s due. This was a great show, thanks Dave.
Thanks very much, Whet 👑 Clunn speaks I listen
I agree! Those people who say all the negative things aren’t your hardcore bass fisherman. The hardcore anglers know the truth.
KVD is against Ffs and so is Hank Parker. Are they not hardcore.
@@timheath4241 I am talking about being great anglers even without ffs. They all are hardcore anglers at pro level. The hardcore fans that know bass fishing history know this.
Mr Clunn is an amazing mind and ambassador of the sport!
The discussion with Rick Clunn was super well done, by Dave too.
Thanks Aaron, Let me know when you are ready to come on to have a real conversation ??
One of my favorite Mercers of all time! I loved Hamners part of the podcast.
Fantastic interview!!! Rick always has words of wisdom when he speaks.
Great insight and perspective from Rick Clunn
Great show! How cool is it that you had Justin on just before he won the classic for the first time? Then to have Rick Clunn and KVD on in the same show? Rick is always great to listen to, and for sure one of the top 3 tournament anglers of all time, and KVD is just the GOAT plain and simple, we've learned more about bass fishing from him than anyone else, he sets the standard both on and off the water! So much wisdom from those two! Keep up the good work Dave!
Clun just showed why he is the Godfather of the sport.. his attitude towards the young anglers is second to none.
Wow what a show Dave. 👏 bravo
How about that truckload of wisdom from Rick!! Geez!!
Love listening to Mr. Clunn
You and I both. I love having him on here once a month all this year
Man what an awesome show to watch . I loved Clunn take on things.
The great Rick Clunn, just telling everyone the hard truth in the most pleasantly casual manner possible. There’s a reason he is one of the best to ever do it folks. If you have any sense, you’d be listening and hanging on every word.
2 GOATs in one show? THE 2 GOATs?!?! Clunn is the man I want to be if I ever get that old. (I say old with the utmost respect). KVDs work ethic could be divided among the young men of America and cause a whole new industrial revolution.
Thanks Zach, You are correct. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment
Man this was a great episode! Enjoyed everything about it. Awesome work Dave!
Mr Clunn has spoken!
Love ricks mentality, he isn’t making excuses. Guy is a legend. He’s a great role model for everyone
Yep he ain't crying he's trying adapt and get better it's not 1985 anymore that's the bottom line
Thanks for watching, Rick is a gift to us all
🎯
Great show Dave. Clunn is full of earned wisdom! Don't get bitter, get better, that's what I hear when I listen to him.
Thanks for watching Matt, I love that line 😂
Amazing show! Not at all surprised that Rick Clunn has such interesting insight - he’s been a teacher and mentor for decades. But Justin Hamner was pure podcast gold!
Thanks for watching. Rick is great and you are right about Justin. Trust me he will be on here a bunch more in the future
Dave,
Really appreciate you bringing on Hamner……love this guy! I love meeting these guys on the show!
Bring on Tyler “Happy” Williams!!!
What the What did Rick say!!?? Wow!
Rick is like wow!!
Thanks Frank, Glad you enjoyed it! You will see a lot more of Justin on here in the future. Definitely a Tyler Williams show coming up
You talking to the GOAT! first I saw stand up for his sponsors. FLW, Pickwick. He invented what was called the Rick Clunn rule. Wound up at weigh in with people putting duct tape on our shirts. Thank you Rick for solving my cold feet problem. Sandles
Yes sir! Mega show it was! Clunn gave the most well thought out, introspective, in-depth description of where fishing is and should be going on a global view! Brilliant!
Thanks Rick, Clunn’s mind is a truly wonderful thing. The way he thinks is always so interesting. Will I see you at the classic?
Yes!
The haircut is called the SEC SWOOP 😂
Rick Clunn nailed it !
He usually does. Thanks for watching
I finally met u at fork u sign my shirt an made a little kids day ur awesome man
Fire
Awesome Dave Hamner was a fun interview. Clunn is alway great. Thanks!
Thanks Mark, Glad you enjoyed it. I plan on having Justin on the show a lot more in the future
Mr Clunn is so philosophical and genuine, I could listen to him for months! 78 yrs old and still doing what he has to too stay relevant . What an amazing mindset, all these young anglers need to talk with Rick as much as possible. He would be a hell of a life coach! Thanks Dave
Thanks Gary,
You got that right, I love our conversations. Thankful to have Rick on the show once a month for this whole season
Another great one Mr. Mercer! 2 legends! They speak i listen. What Clunn has done will never be done again, iron man!!!!
Long live 👑 Clunn
Just had to pause the podcast because I am in shock!
Mr. Rick Clunn dropping bombs!!! 💣 💣
I sure hope some of the "old crybabies" listen to what he has to say.
Incredible thoughts as always from 👑 Clunn
Damn Dave !!!just when I think it can't get any better u got the Alabama hammer and 2 legends on at the same time keep it rolling man love it !! 👊
Thanks Slab, Always trying to bring something good week after week. Glad you enjoyed it
GO DAWGS HAMNER!!!
Seriously stacked show tonight Dave!!! Awesome mid week break. I hope KVD kicks some butt in Redcrest
Thanks Jeffrey, Glad you enjoyed this episode. We have another crazy show coming next week
Great podcast as always. I love how Rick Clunn in his 50 years is adapting to newer technology and improving himself to it. This is a great role model for anyone who’s passionate about fishing. Don’t ban it. But learn to sharpen your skill for more success.
Bravo Mr. Clunn. This was the most inspiring episode. Thank you for this
Justin is the man! Dude is funny as hell and a great angler. Definitely 1 of my favorites.
Thanks John, Justin is one of my favourites too. He will be back on again soon
👍
👍👍
I have always heard the Hair style to be called "Bama Bangs" Roll Tide
That’s the name, I could not think of it during my conversation with Justin. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing the name 😂
So glad Mr. Clunn said it! There’s no room in the elites for crybabies - it’s what I think every time I hear someone complain about “IT”
Thanks for watching. Rick always tells it like he sees it.
Great show Justin is a funny sounding guy. Always good to hear Rick’s take on BASS. KVD’s show will be a good one.
Thanks Bryan, I appreciate your support always. Trust me Justin will be back on here in the future.
Man Rick Clunn you’re one of the greatest.
Thanks for watching Brian, Rick is truly amazing
Rick's rational take on current events is so refreshing.
I love having Rick on here every month. Thanks for watching
Great show Rick gives a positive outlook that's great to hear keep up the good work
Thanks Karl, Rick truly is incredible
I look forward to your podcast every week! Thanks Dave.
Awesome, thank you so much for the support
Wow. All of the Blauketeers need to listen to this interview with the master Rick Clunn. "The old guys have become cry babies"
Well said Clunn!!! What an absolute legend! Hamner we will watch you any day brother you are hilarious! Great show as always Mercer!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the episode. You will be seeing more of Hamner on here in the future.
Clunn dropping bombs. Refreshing hearing his perspective on so many things, the scope controversy included. Btw love it when you have individuals on the show and a mixed bunch. A little mix up here and there is great
Thanks glad you enjoyed this episode. I will keep mixing it up, it’s good to keep people guessing 😂
Good show Clunn told it like it is. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍. 👑 Clunn is awesome
Wow. Great show. Awesome content. Thanks Dave!!
Glad you enjoyed it Ronnie
Great show Dave. Rick is always surprising in a good way. Keep it up
Thanks for watching. Rick is incredible, love having him on here every month
RC is spot on ... love that dude.
Me too, thanks for watching & commenting
Hamner is a great guest. Enjoyed listening to him. As always, Clunn gets my attention. And KVD….nothing needs said 😎
Thanks for listening Jim. Another crazy show coming up next week
This is a masterpiece.
Thank you
Thanks again Dave, such a great show, I also loved your underwater videos and your television shows, thanks buddy
Thanks Glad you like them! I appreciate all your support
I'm up for seeing a tractor pull through the classic damn right. 💪. Clunn is not holding back old school 🔨 awesome podcast.
How awesome would that be
I bet some of the answers Rick had wasn’t what certain cronies thought.
Great show mercer! Hello from NJ!!
Thanks very much, I appreciate the support
Rick clunn…..his words are just different! Great as always dave!
I agree! Thanks for watching
Mercer never fails to deliver. The look on your face when clunn said 2044 was priceless. Although Mercer my gf brought up an interesting point. YOU NEVER BLINK! I Google it and the average person blinks 14 to 17 per minute and you maybe 3 during KVD call alone! Pretty amazing sir. Seriously though God bless and keep em coming
Thanks James, Never noticed my lack of blinking 😂. Maybe that’s how I get when I am very focused 😂
Just aggravating you all time greatest MC. Flippity flop what's he got.
One day for the first time in my 44 years there will be no Rick Clunn in fishing. Over all the things we all have learned fishing wise, I believe his mind is what will be most missed. It’s nice to see a bridge from the past to the present intact and not fractured like most of the things in todays world are💪
He has a truly wonderful mind. Thanks for watching Danny
Great interviews! Thanks for putting this together!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
HAMNER TIME! Great guy! ❤😁 Best part of the podcast for sure....
He was awesome. Justin will be back on again in the future
Dave do not get it twisted if there was anyone near as awesome as you are…dude that just sounds silly!
Long live Dave Mercer!
Mr. Clunn your analogy of the new telescope and forward facing sonar revealing more to us is amazing.
People with the mental capacity to consider the other individuals that have supported them to where they are today are the real heroes. Thank you guys.
Thanks so much Willy, I am lucky to be living this crazy life.
Great show Dave!!!
Thanks very much
Hamner the Hammer is gonna go down as a legend before this is all said and done. He and Kyle Welcher are my 2 favorite on tour to watch cause they flat catch them.
Thanks for watching Red, They are both 2 of my favourites also
What a lineup
Thanks Bobby we have another big one next week.
Clunn spittin facts ! 👏👏
He always does. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
Longer Podcast
2 Legandary Anglers, PLUS Hamner Time!!!??? Yes sir!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this episode. We have another crazy one coming next week
@@factsoffishing cannot wait!! Keep it up!!🤙🏻👊🏻
Rick definitely hurt the feelings of the live scope crybaby community with that 1… man I love Rick clunn!
Rick always tells it like he sees it
Hamner is awesome! Funny as shit! Already a favorite!!
Thanks for watching Toby, He is great you will be seeing a lot more of him on this show in the future
Love Rick clunn
Hard not too
Self preclaimed power pole replay of the day, the Tungsten ball pein, I mean Alabama Hamner
Justin is great! He is going to be on here a bunch in the future
Dave I was thinking maybe Cooper also. I see how much you think of him and if you do then I do to. And he actually had personality. Keep Coop in the rotation.
Well, that was epic. Clunn seems weird to some people. He makes total sense to me.
Thanks for watching Nate, I totally agree
Another Great show Mercer!
Glad you enjoy it Jak, thanks for watching
Wow what a lineup for this week! Clear my schedule!
Thanks, Hope you enjoyed it
This is what I think about F.F.S. In Pro Tournaments. It’s no different than an Aluminum bat in the MLB
Prohibited
Aluminum bats have a trampoline effect, which increases the speed and distance of hits '
・
However, in major league baseball, aluminum bats are prohibited because MLB wants the game to be based on ability, not technology'
• In small college
leagues, aluminum bats are favored because they dominate the baseball game at the lower levels
• In
the Major Baseball League, teams use wooden bats.
Thanks for watching John. I appreciate you taking the time to share you’re thoughts in the comments
@@factsoffishing You have a great show. I look forward to it every week.
@@johnterry2040thanks John that’s great to hear. We have another cool show coming up next week
I’ve hoisted a bunch of classic trophies. 🏆
I think if we are being honest, we all have Willy 😂
That flower looks like Hamner has a war bonnet on....Chief Big Bass!
I can see that 😂
@ 36min I grew up in Bham, watched Dalton Bobo lose it on a dead fish as a boy......literally looked up his phone number in the white pages and called him to say he's still my hero. Long story short he took me fishing on Lay Lake within a few weeks of that phone call, and I proceeded to have one of the best days fishing ever. Dalton Bobo is truly an amazing human being, I'd love to reconnect with him, but can't find contact info for him.
I too would love to catch up with Dalton Bobo. He would be a great guest on the show
@@factsoffishing Man that would be amazing if you could get him on the show! Keep pumping out the amazing content brother!
Wow wow wow nice three great shows into one great time, laffs in all three,funny Dave thnxs o by the way Patrick who? Just wondering who he bunks n trades spots n tackle with? Lya dude. Bman.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and the Patrick is Patrick Walters
Big news would be a legends exemption!
As much as that would be cool, I still think a KVD TV show is big news.
There are equipment restrictions in every sport. Not saying FFS is the point, but will there ever be a line drawn in the sand?
That’s the truth. Thanks for watching Russel
Well, what another great one Dave Mercer, And Mr. Hamner which Milo's tea do you drink? I like the zero calories sweet tea myself and Milo's let's talk business for Mr. Hamner and myself I drink a lot of the tea in a single week 😆 best tea hands down.... and some💥 were dropped and can't blame him for telling it like it and KVD another great opportunity to learn from you still after an amazing career you had
Thanks for watching, it was a cool episode. I will try find out the Milos info for you when I talk to Justin next
Wildest the oldest pro isn’t against FFS like some of the middle aged guys. More turnover in the sports needed, guys getting to comfortable thinking they’ve earned the right to be a pro forever. The billionaire electronic company’s need to pull some sponsors ship money and you’ll see this conversation end.
Rick Clunn. Wow.
👑 Clunn us awesome
Justin is going to love this, look at him at 31:41 😂
???
Still not a fan of livescope tho...!
Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion on it. Clearly folks are all over the board with it. Some love it & some hate it. Thanks again for watching
Rick said it best it isnt hard to scope but he is wromg ab pi ut 2 yrs more lole 2 days of starring at it its easy
Justin are you aware that Takahiro Omuri asked Rick Clun if he could hold the classic trophy over his head while he was visiting at Rick's house and just look at the results 👍
Yes he did but most guys won’t touch em before they win em. But you are correct, it sure worked for Tak. Thanks for watching
As someone brand new to the sport of bass fishing, I think scoping is boring and not relatable to watch.
This is my opinion on scoping...Are these guys still fishing just lead, or are they fishing tungsten now?
Thanks for watching Matthew👍
Every sport has limits on tech, even Golf, why is it so hard for Tournament Bass Fishermen to understand it.Two setup max.
I don’t think it’s hard to understand. That’s why they are studying it this season so they can make educated changes if needed
When is the ROCK going to be on?
I agree it’s gotta happen
Rick clunn is the true GOAT 🐐
100%
Nonsense, as tech increases legends like clunn can’t compete.
Did you listen to what Rick had to say about the technology?
@@factsoffishing listen to the facts not the words, I really like Rick doesn’t change the fact he can’t compete with the young tech guys
Justin “big ole” Hamner
Love that dude
Rick is horrible at fishing his life time stats are dog water, hasnt won aoy since 88 or a classoc sonce 90 the dude is horrible he was good in 75 when 50 ppl werefisning
I'm a Rick clunn fun but if hose stats are correct that is pretty bad for as long as he has been in the pros. 34 yrs with out a classic win and 36 yrs with out an aoy title. That Is pretty bad
❤👊🎣👏
👊🏻
Ps Earth is flat😅
😂
