I hadn't seen this before and as a fellow Delaware River rat I enjoyed it. Ike is a character for sure and interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff. I strongly considered being a marshal or whatever BASS calls it now for the Pasquatank River and am so glad that I did not.

Yeah I feel like a lot of people from professional sports to pro bass fishermen get a bad name bad rap but when you get to see Ike in his "actual life" footage he's a lot more likableOriginally Posted by tcesni
I thought about being a Marshall, thanks to the boys on the NC page, they talked me out of it.
Ike also said out of his entire career the Albemarle Sound was top 3 worst water conditions he's ever witnessed and was legit scared.
Not to worry, I've heard from multiple northerners on BBC that those conditions are just a Tuesday evening for the great lakes and there's no such thing as big water outside of the great lakes!

Can't believe a pro fishing veteran of 30 years in the sport was worried about all those 1 foot waves. Just boggles my mind.

Hi Mike.
Probably a lot rougher than you think. I’ll take someone’s opinion that was there bs someone that watched a couple minutes on tv
That was posted for another member that was saying the waves in those live videos were only 1 foot high. I know all too well they were a lot higher than one foot.
I guess I should have put theat the end.

Ike is famous for beating up his rigs.

I have fished with my share of tour pros in pro-ams and I would never buy any of their used boats. I was fishing with John Murray during his heyday on Mead and we were approaching the weigh-in marina from the south when he pointed out Aaron Martens in his 20 foot Champion hauling butt jumping waves coming in from the north. He said that guy is tough on boats. It was crazy to see Aaron break the bolts on his motor in the one Elite event. Lake Mead gets really ugly. Being a marshall or am on any big and windy lake is a crap shoot.
yep i remember that at the sabine.. he talks about it in the video says he had been fishing back there practicing coming in and out and there was a log that must of somehow gotten pushed across and submerged and he hit it and it launched him onto the bank. The videos one of the better ones ive seen in a while
The waves were big enough to separate the top cap from the hull on his boat and break the bracket on his trolling motor.
I think the top cap separation, given that Bass Cat does not have a top cap that is removeable per some comments on a guys rebuild from a few years ago
would be a warranty issue?

Hi Mike.
I watched that whole video. I thought it was great. Great stories!
Never cared for Ike at all, But I watched the whole video. Seems like he's mellowed out quite a bit in his old age. I was quite surprised.
Old age??? What does that make a good portion of us?
It's not the size of the waves, but the interval between them that pounds the crap out of you. I know. I go out on Lake Ontario often at 70 years old.
Maple syrup... I put that sh*t on everything!

I couldn’t imagine being his co angler during that open. I remember reading about that in his book
I can’t imagine Ike running that hard in those waves. He’s going to be a crippled old man getting beat up like that.
