The Champions of the 10th annual Ike Foundation Pro-Am drove home with a brand new Bass Cat Bobcat bass boat. Learn how they did it (and how you might be able to do it next year!) Join us for an insightful Ike Live episode "At The Bar" as we dive into a busy and eventful week. This show, brought to you by Abu Garcia and Tackle Warehouse, covers everything from fishing tournament victories to the behind-the-scenes world of bass fishing. In this Ike Live (from the bar) episode, Mike & Becky Iaconelli discuss: * The Ike Foundation ProAm: Relive the excitement of the 10th annual Ike Foundation ProAm fishing tournament on the Upper Chesapeake Bay. Discover how the event brought together competitors, volunteers, and sponsors for a great cause: getting new kids fishing. Despite the heat, over 100 kids learned how to fish, some for the very first time, experiencing the "fun fest" atmosphere with activities, hot dogs, and free rods and reels. * Tidal Water Fishing Strategy: Hear from this year's Pro-Am winner, JT Lang, about his unique tournament strategy on the challenging Chesapeake Bay tidal fishery. JT, who often finds success with "no practice" or "minimal practice", explains how adapting to minute-by-minute tidal changes and fishing the moment led to their victory. Learn how they strategically fished close to the bank during high water and successfully upgraded their catch using a frog fishing technique in "worst looking grass with chunky mud". It was the closest win in the Pro-Am's history, decided by just four ounces. * Vegas's Junior Bass Fishing Championship: Celebrate with us as Vegas "The Hammer", Mike's son, shares his experience winning the New Jersey Youth and High School BASS States tournament on Manasquan Reservoir. This critical win qualified him for the national championship on Clarks Hill Reservoir. Vegas discusses his decision-making process, including moving to deeper water (23-25 feet) to find fish when the shallow bite shut off. He also recounts a thrilling moment of catching a six-pounder and the "scariest signs of lightning" experienced on the water, including a "buzzing rod tip" and "floating line". * Overcoming Challenges & Future Plans: Mike opens up about his tough decision to miss the Tenkiller event due to injury, a rare occurrence in his 30-year career. The goal is to return to fishing by the St. Clair event. The episode also teases future developments, including Vegas's custom dice lure coming soon, and major bass fishing industry rumors, such as BASS being up for sale and MLF's plans for "new breakthrough specialty events" possibly "partnering with LIV Golf". Don't miss the humorous discussion about the potential "Golden Guys" senior fishing tour!
