I was living in gville at the time.....they launched from Val Monte which is no longer there. If u notice this was before the huge crowds started following the launches

[@jasonmay9387]

Yeah I was there for the launch that day.

[@PatrickWalker_theBassAngler]

I wish we could morph the sport back to this time!!

Man code says, officially…
You’re allowed to wreck your own shit as long as no one is hurt.
If that upsets you, watch golf

Around 13:2 did Alton say one of his kid's name is Jimmy Sue?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

That’s his wife’s name

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine could win that tournament for sure.

[@zduke5979]

I wish he would, I think he would do really well in MLF and bassmaster

[@michaelshoffner6584]

Someone needs to tell IKE that there are meds for his condition

[@scottodonahoe4208]

Do they have pills for not being a dick ?

[@BlockchainToTheFace]

Nothing can fix stupid

[@StevenPlaysGolf]

After that last fish he looked like a crackhead that dropped his last rock in some shag carpet at 4am.

[@tayloremerson6140]

Still to this day that comment remains true

[@milanradojkovic3818]
