    Missed opportunity for sure by the broadcast… They didn’t share if he landed that fish. If it was close (it wasn’t 5lb but looked 3+) and his overall reaction. That was a missed opportunity. But - sorta similar to losing a game in any other sport and looking for an instant reaction and comment - can be a tough spot and doesn’t usually go well.

    Well, thank goodness for YouTube lol we will see it soon. What a rollercoaster of emotion. Lawrence’s fish didn’t get weighed until after the time was up so Wheeler had to assume he won

    Really would have loved to see that reaction as he figured out what went down… seriously MLF missed that chance to capture the moment in the broadcast. Was sitting on pins and needles to see that moment. Nothing against Wheeler… dudes a monster, but that needed to be shown. Could happen on his own YouTube video of it? I’m sure the folks behind the desk at MLF were probably too jacked to be thinking clearly… that was seriously crazy stuff. Proud for Jake… dudes taken a good bit of my money here.. and he’s a great kid. was really pulling for him.

    Huh? They've done it before when anglers have lost at the last second.

    I don’t know I’ve been on social media and seen his interviews since it finished chill and normal as could be. It’s not like it’s the first time he’s lost as the last second? I mean… Happened not to long ago with Bobby Lane as I can recall. Why they didn’t show it? To protect Jacob Wheeler? That is insane. Protect a guy who is constantly around the lead - haha you can’t be less successful if you think that guy needs protection.
