Regardless of what you think of how mike reacted, that's kinda a lame way to do a tie breaker. Give them both two hours or something and whoever brings back the most weight wins
wesjanz You're right, bad reaction...BUT, give them a weight to hit...6-8-10 lbs, and the 1st one to hit it that weight wins (even if it only takes 1 fish).
Zachary Mark Like he said lol you’ve never lost 150k. I’m gonna go steal all your money from your bank account. Alllllll 27 dollars and see how you react
Phill Helmuth of fishing!!!. John McEnroe of fishing.All big cry babies and guys you love to hate.These kind of people are successful, because they know how to market themselves.
@@joehawk9839you’ve never had that level of pressure in your life. I guarantee that with 100% certainty. You’ve never had those sort of stakes on the line, which is part of their livelihoods. You can’t understand.
@Tiddyliterature this is the biggest bunch of BS I've ever read. Every day men get up and go to work trying to earn a living for their family. Many of them work for companies that struggling to make profits. Companies that could shut down or be sold with little to no notice at all. The only thing these men can do is try and do their jobs to the best of their capabilities and hope everyone else is to. That's pressure. Many of these men have no other options but to work where they do. These fishermen made the choice to fish for a living. Sure there is pressure but it's self inflicted pressure. No different than a rodeo cowboy or a PGA golfer. It's really hard for me to think they are under more pressure than a man that gets up and goes to work for his family every day.
@@toddhatten354 or for those that serve their country and risk their lives..so I agree with you, though I do like Mike...but there are times he does take it too far!
He is that kid who grew up to fish tournaments for lots of cash. It's easy to be virtuous behind a keyboard with nothing to prove. If you lost $150k you would act worse in all likelihood.
You cannot lose what was not yours to begin with! He lost the $2k to compete and his expenses (plus the destruction of his rod). I sold a business that did a half a million a year, got $440k for it to invest in a family startup business. They closed its doors a year later due to several factors, mainly the Economy tanking. I lost $440k that was mine; he lost a few grand. I took it in stride, shed a few tears but no hissy-fit, and moved on in life like a grown man is supposed to act; he acted like a spoiled little 5 year old that didn't get the toy he wanted for Christmas...
@@TheBiggerDavo I see many other anglers that hold their composure just fine without throwing a temper tantrum when they lose. My comment got you butt hurt because you know I’m right.
whatever the rod and reel company is they should drop him as a sponsor. because he'll just destroy it and it's nothing to him because gets the stuff for free.
Anyone who'd throw gear in the water doesn't have enough respect for the fish to be a weekend bluegill angler, let alone to make a living off the sport. That's a shameful display by someone who's supposed to be a professional angler, and it's a perfect example of why lots of serious anglers are starting to lose interest in bass fishing as a sport. Iaconelli isn't a bass fishing professional, he's just a high-priced googan. Very sad.
To all the ppl saying he’s a whiner ... he truly loves the sport y’all guys have no idea how much money they invested into that sport .. and to lose 150 grand
@@chrisbrown5336 its because of the situation he was put in, not because he lost. This should have been a monday 1v1. It was a bullshit rule and its never been done since.
Apparently some rod and reel company is one of his sponsors. They will just hand him another. Me and you will cough up another $400-$500 bucks for a new rod and reel like the one he threw in the lake. Pretty sure it didn’t come from Walmart.
It's not like they don't know the rules. They didn't just make up the sudden death rule. Everyone in the tournament knows what the rules are when they enter. He got out fished, and then proceeded to act like a little bitch when he lost.
True professional, could have signed the pole for a young kid to learn the sport, naw, f it, litter the lake so everything can get wrapped up in your line. Great job bud!
@@TrippyWheelz you'd think they'd take his position away as a pro acting like this, saw another one where he drove thru a bed, then started recording when he wanted to talk to the guy who was rightly pissed. Caught my first fish of the year tonight. Pretty happy.
@@puvlea83 hell I think he’s with MLF now and they don’t care as long as people watch. I personally will always watch bass masters. I prefer the 5 fish format. Seems MLF has a lot the guys like Ike.
that should be a saying...like my buddy went complete ike!...i work with a guy like that...its usually not even anything real bad but he totally flips out...gotta be some kind of man karen thing
Come on...this guy gets to fish for a living! Most of have to commute to a sucky stressful job and he’s having a breakdown losing a fishing tournament? I’d like to have his problems....unreal
This guy is out of control. He should be banned from the sport at a professional level. Our youth follow and inspire to be like these fortunate men, who make a living doing what most of us barely can afford to do on a recreational level. An embarrassment to our sport. Take a hike ike!
It just seems that being a "professional angler" would eventually suck all the fun out of fishing. I am glad I can still simply go the lake/river with my kids and have fun all day long with zero pressure.
I like ike, but what kind of example does that show the millions of kids watching him you know that's poor Sportsmanship you know you lose or you don't get your way you break all your stuff on national TV com'on
That way they did the tie breaker sucks , Mr.Mike Ike won that tournament hands down , think of all the fish he worked for those days , there is no way he should have lost that tournament , I would be pissed too
Ike is a passionate Fisherman. He show everyone how bad he want it and fish hard. Don't see anything wrong with his action. No one got hurt other than a Hard Tuff Lost.....Go Ike
A "passionate fisherman" wouldn't break his rod and dump it in the lake like he did, he doesn't even care about what all that line could do to the fish. Smh
Eddie Hurtado agreed brotha, no need for that, plenty of ways to let out anger without littering..almost seems like a camera move, real classy *eye roll*
BostonTerrierLover he acted more like a spoiled child that dont get his way. Unless a screaming crying child being dragged through walmart is the definition of passionate.
Dude is just passionate about competing and people hate him for it. It’d be different if he broke it over someone’s head. I’d say he’s way out of line then.
Bert236 it was only a 10k difference between 1st and 2nd, he shows up for 10k every week because that’s what a top 50 gets and you get a lot more of those than 1st
no he shows up every week for the top prize but takes what he gets. do you seriously think he shows up thinking "im just gonna go for top 50 and maybe not fish final day"? na he doesnt. i see you clearly didnt understand i was talking about top prize not what each angler gets.

wesjanz for sure
I agree. Whoever catches the first fish is the winner is just right in my opinion.
I meant to say it is just NOT right to end a tournament that way.
wesjanz You're right, bad reaction...BUT, give them a weight to hit...6-8-10 lbs, and the 1st one to hit it that weight wins (even if it only takes 1 fish).
Facts. I could’ve caught a 15 inch bass 20 feet from the boat landing😆
did you set a Waypoint where you threw that reel? I'll go grab it lol
Now that's funny! I can't stop laughing.
Same here I was cracking up.
Lmao hahaha it would suck to lose like that but...you sir need an award for that comment
Better hurry. With his luck, it'll be found as additional evidence for a littering charge against him.
Right, those aren't cheap,I miss Mike in tournaments
All of you talking crap never lost 150000 dollars
Throwing a tantrum is for 5 year olds. Period. But I now know how you'd react... like a 5 year old.
Zachary Mark Like he said lol you’ve never lost 150k. I’m gonna go steal all your money from your bank account. Alllllll 27 dollars and see how you react
D Ray Gamez Steal? What was stolen from him? At least make a proper analogy if you’re gonna talk. I have no doubt you’d act like a 5 yr old as well.
Zachary Mark Your an idiot, you attack my intellect because you know you made yourself look like the precise thing you are. An idiot.
D Ray Gamez great point. You sound very intelligent.
One of my favorite clips ever. By the way he went and got the rod and reel. He talked about it on ike live.
Good because if that were me I would have gotten a citation by the DNR for that
That's good, I thought he crashed out, and just littered on the water.

He needs to grow up.
So did he get a ticket for littering?
I see a lot of "hes a bad sport" comments. He just lost 150k on that one fish. No lie to tell, id have done the same thing probably.
For $1 or $1 Milllion, it is still poor sportsmanship. Damned immature, too.
Not what I would call good sportsmanship.
I can only afford a 50 dollar rod. That really hurt my eyes when he broke it. Im no pro fisherman. Just like fishing.
Yeah me too not to mention on the side of a 60k boat….
Somebody needs his binky and a nap.👶👶👶
Mike’s caught more pounds than you made last year. Womp womp.
How calm he is after when they’re doing the interview

"👁fear the strain was more than he could🐻"
He needs a different job.

I'm sure it wasn't even looked at back then . Was there maybe weights in the fish ? 😆😆😆
Next time just give me the rod and reel
@Beards And Bows Outdoors yay that rod and reel was probably $200-$500 not cheap
Should be fined for littering.

Hope that's not a habit: throwing stuff in the water
here comes the putter throw!!

Breaking his rod and throwing it in the water. Thats littering. Classy guy we have here.
have u ever lost 10k just like that
