#podcast #bassfishing
It takes a “very good man to prioritize his family over the ego of “chasing the dream” and not bringing the family down with him when he knew it was a bad track. He’s a class act
100%!
Good stuff, much respect for him showing the tough and emotional side of things. He will come out of this better at the end of the day.
Amen!
Wow......he is really a class act. I don't think he will have a problem finding something in the fishing industry. Seems like a very well respected and likeable guy.
He is so real for this! Big respect!
This was so PURE. Hats off to Derek.
Much respect for Derek
Great show !!!! Hate to see you retire Derek.
As someone who tried to go broke as a BFL co-angler😂 & was too proud to say it, I have the utmost respect for how he has handled this. Great pod!! LL4L!
Economically tournament fishing wasn't for me either
One of the best you've done and major cudos to Derek what a class act shame to see someone like him leave the sport. We are definitely losing something with him leaving
Great interview. Much respect and best of luck to Derek. I hope to see him out doing stuff. That's gotta be tough.
Thank you for checking it. Enjoyed this conversation big time.
You’re a great dude Derek and and I hate that you had to cut the dream short, but the level of respect I have for you went way up because you had the guts and the strength to make such a hard decision.
The Hook The Hook!!!
Wow!! Amazing show!! High School & College anglers need to hear this one. My utmost respect to Derek knowing when to put his family 1st over his ego!! I was already a fan, and that will never change.
Luke, you need to make an LOB flipping hair jig and call it the "FLIP CHICKEN"!!
Best to ya Derek... wish I could help you out..... I was in your position 35 years ago
Class guy, hope things work out for him
I hated to hear Derek called it off, but he did the right, and logical thing to do. I respect that. I do feel that BASS rakes in enough sponsor money to help the anglers out. When they had the split, they offered to pay half the entry fees several anglers, so yes, they have the money. I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does.
I'll be using the "flip chicken" term when necessary.
Good show Luke!!!I hate that he had to retire cause he is one of the good ones
Great show from host and guest. Thanks Luke.
Nothing but respect for Derek. It sucks seeing this happen to the most genuine guys on tour. Glad you let him tell his story LD.
I just got thru doing his podcast with him and I was star struck a little for sure
Derek’s a good man and he’ll be just fine. Us folks in Louisiana like a good string of outside lights for any occasion not just Christmas! Another great podcast!!
Great interview again! Much respect for Derek. #flipchickens
Keep pushing Derek!
Great show! It is very refreshing to see the great character exhibited by Derek .
Thanks for checking it out! I’m a huge Hudnall fan.
Making a living as a pro Bass Fisherman is a pipe dream at best. You have a better chance at winning the lottery That’s the harsh real world reality.
This is only the start for you. Use what you learned from the past to grow the future. You alone is priceless.
Luke, I have a 2020 Xpress 19 Pro, I just fought the same Grimlin. It was a short in the ground wire running to the panel. I replaced too many wires, but the one that fixed the problem was replacing the power and ground wires that runs from the live well and bilge pumps to the power panel. In my case, I would either loose power at the panel or the motor would not start.
Thank you! That’s what I’m thinking that it’s got to be something along those lines. Has to be
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus Oh, and there is a little circuit breaker on the battery. The short ended up causing the breaker to fail. So, when I put a volt meter to check power I would get 14 volts, but as soon as I put any load on, it dropped to 1.6 volts.
Good show, I feel it is a terrible thing when the industry can't support an angler like Derek, one of the good guys. Thank You for the show Luke and best of luck in the future Derek.
Hate to see the people who.play by the rules and do it the right way have to give it up
@@mattowens719 The reason I have lost interest in Professional bass fishing
Derek is a truly great guy! Nothing but respect for him as a person and friend. Just hate seeing it happen. Sadly, it has truly gotten tougher to be a professional and the money it takes to survive year after year. If the trend continues, it is only going to tougher. Just the equipment itself to be competitive is mind blowing. Derek is a class act and whatever the next chapter holds he will be a winner! But as he said, it sucks!!
Great interview!
Hate to see someone like Hudnall go, it will be a loss to B.A.S.S. for sure. You are gonna see a lot more of this to come, especially shallow water guys. I dont care how good you are, and when I say this, it applies to the GOATS as well, you cannot compete with FFS fishing that way anymore. That includes the world beaters and the greatest to do it. The way they spent their entire lives learning to fish will not compete with that technology. It is absolute BS that 19 yr olds can dominate watching a screen making 100% of their casts to a bass they see on the screen. Its not their fault it is absolutely the tournament organization to blame for allowing it to happen.
Just hope this young generation of new professionals understands and appreciates how well they have it made. They do not have a wife, kids, mortgage to keep paid while living a dream we’d all love to live.
These young guys have grew up with the “older pros” laying the blueprint to be successful in fishing and what we are seeing are results of them committing to something at a very young age and by the time they are 18-19 years old they have the tournament experience that rivals the veterans with the way high school and college fishing has come along they know how to manage fish over multiple days put time on the water and fish huge boat number derbies
Speak for yourself. I love fishing, including tournament fishing, and I have tremendous respect for their skill on the water, but I’d never want to live that life. Away from your kids too much and for all but a very few pros, not much long-term economic security.
Look at the cannon plug under your cowl where your motor harness connects with the boat (key/dash) harness. One of my pins was bent (actually ran thru the plastic instead of into the hole) and making intermittent contact. Same symptoms as yours. Some days it worked, other days it didn't.
Luke, I look forward to your podcast because stories like Honey Buns & and Flip Chickens. 😅😂
Great interview. Sad for Derek, but I think he will do well and stay in the industry.
Always been a Derek Hudnall fan, but I can understand how hard it has to be out there financially, crap it’s tough enough for us locals just to be able to get out a little bit.
I remember Ronnie Moore giving me shit on Twitter for saying the Bassmaster Elites was going to become a rich mans/nepo baby game when they enforced fishing all 9 opens to qualify. It was already expensive enough before but that move solidified the future of where the sport was heading in my mind. IMO, Derek will not be the only one having to make this decision going forward unfortunately.
Edit: Also the $5k entry fees relative to the payout structure leaves guys almost entirely relying on sponsors and social media to even exist, let alone make a living.
Mark my word guys, things are going to get much worse starting no in July. Mr Hudnall, you will be glad you made this decision as soon as the middle of July. May God bless you and your family.
Who knew flip chickens were territorial?
Great show ! The industry sure could use more like Derek ! And hey Luke, I’ve got a great idea on what to call your next bait, The LOB chicken Flippin jig in a glazed honeybun color !🤣🤣
Thank you and 😂😂😂😂 I’m making a new Flipchicken jig for sure
Love his honesty. Integrity is so important. Sadly, it’s a thing of the past.
I loved that he was so open about everything. Only way to fly.
Sounds like sharing and teaching is where the passion is - I’m sure a lot of young anglers out there could use some mentoring from a guy like Derek -
As the philosopher Rick Clunn said : Never accept that your greatest moments are in the past.
i now know to avoid the flip chickens.
Welp I a got a new nick name for my buddies at work. “What up yah damn flip chickens”
Flip Chicken sounds like a new color for the LOB jig Luke
Working on it 😂
I had the same problem on my boat 2 years ago come to find out it was the main ground going to the motor. James Watson will probably have a new hat out with a flip chicken on it
FBD
Luke, that map behind you of Pickwick is nice. Where did you find that or who makes those? Thanks!
Hate to see Derek go. Get him on the NPFL
Luke< i have the same Gremlion lol. On my 2023 Proxs. just no key no trim everthing else works lol. Its been to service 3 times in 14 months. HAAAAAAA i feel ya
It’s a damn gremlin/ghost that’s for sure 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus Mercury had my dealer replace the clean power. Guess Ill find out this weekend at BFL on Lake Truman lol. Love the show !!!
I was gonna try LBL10 too when I ordered my shirt the other day! That’s alright put my 10% back in the biz.
Thank you brother! I appreciate you
Three flat tires and a good spare😂😂😂😂
“Flip Chicken” baits coming soon!! lol
Hahahaha
Man if I ever win the PowerBar, and Derek wants to try it again I promise you I'll make sure he has the money. Unfortunately most likely never will I win but if I do....
Hudnall and Dunkin... 2 Class acts... B.A.S.S. is on the losing end of this deal..
Thank you sir!
That sucks he seems like a great guy he will be fine
People think awww you just fish for a living they have ZERO clue how much work that is let alone you gotta have your mind right if you wanna do good I tournament crappie a little fish.m couldn't imagine doing it for a living all that traveling and you gotta live it and breath it to be successful 24/ 365 and folks dont think about how hard it's is on your family being gone all the time it ain't easy I understand 100%
Here is a guy ! That if i had alot of $ * Or Hit the lottery! I would send him back out their ! Remember when ya got alot of shit going on in your life
If any podcast in bass fishing would have a flip chicken in the audience, it would be LBL 🤣🤣
All i want is some of that money 💰 Mercer is using to buy all his subs on TH-cam 😂😂 Id be Ballin!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Blocking comments is a great way to lose potential fans. Derek should let people speak their mind. There is a recipe to winning social media and blocking aint it
There’s also a recipe to being a decent human, and commenting something that’s insulting enough to someone that they feel the need to block you, ain’t it. That’s not a potential fan. That’s someone wanting attention
@LukeDunkinsTravelingCircus its the internet. People say things they would never say in person every day. Thick skin is a necessity to win some people over. Some of the people who dislike someone the most have the ability to also become that person's biggest supporter. Internet is fickle like that. Either way I'm not here to fight with anyone. Ill save my arguments for randys comment section. Great episode
Flip Chicken 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Are highschool fishing coaches a thing?! Retired elite pros teaching the children could be a win, win for the future of the sport. Also I heard that fishtips has the flip-chicken waypoints… 😉
Rachal is Joe's sister.
I'm sure Mercer can hook you up with backstage passes 😂😂😂😂
