I watch his youtube stuff. Seems pretty well spoken to me. He wont be a Zona but Zona has also been doing that sort of thing a really long time.

He is currently in great physical condition, better than in years. He is managing his diabetes through medication and diet. He is still full go on the BPT. This is completely an assumption, but I think he is looking for what is next for him and he realizes that social media is as big as actually tournament fishing right now in the industry.
Show us your winnings big boy, I doubt anyone will be impressed.Originally Posted by ttranger
THIS !!! God bless him .
Well they could have chose someone like the guy that MLF has on there. Polished announcer yes, but doesn’t know a bass from a tarpon. Lol.
He has a big chunk of land, a nice family, makes a living fishing but some expert on bbc wants to tell him he did it all wrong? Cmon man.
If I remember correctly, when he won the M1 years ago, he gave a lot of money to his church. I'm a fan.
Valid point sir! I watched the little skit on DD’s Facebook channel, pretty funny stuff. He just might be a better fit than I originally thought.

Nobody is going to satisfy everybody and never will. Never been one that would satisfy even half the people who watch or follow the sport. As far as what David has done in his career, only a handful can be mentioned in the same sentence and anybody who knows or has followed professional bass fishing will acknowledge that.
Where are you reading his story?
Wasn’t this at one of his last AOY acceptance speeches?? I remember some people talking about it.
Has his own rods in Walmart now. That is kinda a major deal isn't it?
Semper Fi
I would say it is. It's pretty safe to predict that none of us commenting in this thread will ever have our rods being sold at Walmart.
So does another angler on the opens that hasn't won much money in 5 years...you can speculate who.
Fish have fins, they swim
If I remember correctly, he built his own church. By doing so, he avoided taxes on those winnings.
Sounds like a win for the community, we need god more than ever.
Bad spellers of the world untie!
They're pink rod and reel combo's, I've seen them and laugh every time I do for the reason you mentioned.
I've had the pleasure of fishing with Dudley a couple of times, he is a great fisherman and competitor. I wish him the best in all his future and current endeavor's.

Hey Come On....Everybody knows how generous Wal Mart is to their Vendors and they are lucky those individuals selected them to market their Signature Rods.
You can rest assured that Wal Mart had to offer them Big Bucks up front to get them in their stores plus the endorsers are most likely getting well over a $100 per rod sold and Wally World is taking a loss but using them just to get customers into the store so they'll buy some high profit items when they come shopping for a fishing rod and or a Pink rod and reel combination.
It's just like the Grocery Store Chains putting Turkeys and Beef on sales as lost leaders to draw customers they lose a little on the Turkey or the Beef but more than make it up for it with what else they purchase.
The Wal Mart Customers buying them are also loading their carts with hooks, lures, coolers, sunglasses, Mountain Dew, Little Debbie Snacks, Jerky, Everstart Batteries, Sun Screen, Tylenol, Aleve, Dude Products and numerous other essential Bass Fishing Goodies.
