Yep, 5:1. True story - I taught Wheeler how to deep crank on a local reservoir back when he was about 15 or 16 years old. We crushed them. He was so excited, he called Joe Thomas ( he was friends with Joe and Joe’s son) and convinced him to drive over and film an episode of Joe’s show, Stihl’s Reel in the Outdoors, on the lake about deep cranking. It was his first TV appearance and his comfort with being on camera was obvious and only grew from there.

Can that video be found on line? Would be interesting to see a 15-16 Wheeler.

It used to be years ago, but haven't seen it online for a while.

Every event he’s ever done well in since we started fishing together makes me proud...and that’s been a bunch over the years - lol ?

Well, I like his style and this explains quite a bit.
