Skeet Reese

And, um, All the top 12 boats would go there and they'd rig their rods.

And the only boat that was back was Skeet.

He was the first one back and he had it hanging off of his rod while he was rigging.

And we're talking to him and I go to take a picture of it.

I've interviewed the Kevin Van Dams.

I've interviewed Skeet Reese.

I've interviewed Mike Iaconelli.

I even interviewed Mike Iaconelli's mother, which was pretty wild.

But if I went, because the way that the rules are set up, it'd be like Carl Jacobs in that one year.

It's kind of like, okay, say I had my bad year from back in the day where I donated and put Van Damme's kids through college and Skeet Reese was the absolute animal at the time and the dominators back then.

And I was sitting there struggling and trying to learn the ropes and everything else.

I'm a lot better angler now, but I would have to carry those bad years over into if I made the elites for another year.

This will be the first one.

The last year's got blown out due to weather, but at the very bottom there you see Skeet Reese and Octafo.

And that'll be February 5th through the 7th in Fayetteville.

We are doing the top two shows, so I'm looking forward to that.

Uh, great to see everybody.

Reese Fishing, Skeet made it down to hang out with everybody at Bass Pro Shops and, uh, show his full line of rods.

We put over, over, uh, over 400 folks in the Bass Pro Shops.

There was a lot of shopping going on and, uh, but they, uh, they were great hosts.

And, uh, we figured with his, uh, top finish at the US Open being a third, we would give the, the Flipping Stick on to second place.

The runner-up is gonna get the, uh, the, uh, Beat D. Thomas award this time.

Uh, it will be a Reese Fishing Flipping Stick, and it was a pretty cool, uh, event for Skeet as well to be involved in, and, uh, D, very special to, uh, Skeet as well throughout his career.

So it was, uh, it was pretty cool.

But, I mean, to get a course on branding from frigging most likely the greatest brand specialist in the history of this sport.

Like, I would say it's an argument between Ike KVD and Skeet.

maybe throw G in there.

Like there's other names, but I mean, arguably like Kevin, I'll almost remove because he won so much.
