Has anyone fished with him or seen him in action? Does he truly mainly fish the jig, or has anyone seen him use anything other than a jerkbait or a rig? Just curious if that’s genuinely his style—it seems pretty rare if so.

One tournament I watched last year I believe he primarily fished a jig mixed in a jerk bait as well. No different than say drew gill who primarily relies on a neko
.
By hearing anglers talk about him, I’d say it’d be a 75% of the time, at least. I don’t know what he does so special with it, or that is so especially hard to reproduce, but I’ve heard multiple anglers make comments eluding to knowing how he uses it, but not being able to get the same action or results.Quote:

Not the same guyQuote:

his dad told me at the time that this kid was special and I will be seeing him on tv soon,
well guess he was right. I’ve talked to him few times after that and wished him liuck
Goodluck to him, good kid and good head on his shoulders
seems to be working, and i know it works well here
