Wheeler

[TnRiver46]

Looks like wheeler just ran away with the FLW on his home lake. He had a 9.9 lb yesterday and just got a 7.89 on a DT20. His unofficial 4 day weight is hovering around 94 lbs

Yeah, that guy is gonna win a bunch more money.

He just keeps getting better and better.

Wheeler is a fishing machine. He can find em anywhere

[12poundbass]

Not only can he find them, he can adapt to any format he’s fishing. Bottom line, Jacob Wheeler will be the greatest angler of all time! He may not have all the accolades of a KVD or a Rick Clunn because of the format changes (maybe this will be the new normal) but he will have won more money and more trophies than any out there. The guy is a strait up fishing machine and loves ever minute of it!

What Wheeler and JLee have accomplished before their 30th birthday is pretty amazing. DeFoe is under 35. Those 3 still have many years of fishing in their tank and will go on to win many trophies. 
 

But make no mistakes there will be younger anglers coming up that challenge and beat them. Resources and electronics are so advanced today that these kids turning pro at 21 are way ahead of the game

Watching Wheeler fish was one of the main things that motivated me to want to go buy a bass boat. The dude is simply an amazing fisherman and an awesome entertainer. And no doubt that he is out there grinding his butt off every single day for every oen of those fish he catches.

Jordan Lee and Wheeler are on great runs the last few years.  Both are incredible.

I think it's way too early to declare Wheeler in the same breath as KVD and all the other giants of the sport this early in their respective careers, however he has had a tremendous start. It would be comparable to saying Tiger Woods was as good as Jack Nicholas after winning 4 or 5 tournaments. 

 

The field is very talented and could easily keep him from winning for long stretches at a time. But I  will say he is fun to watch and it is amazing how much he has achieved already for his age.

This is what sets Wheelers apart from everyone else, he thinks about every aspect, every detail of his fishing, including the wrap on his boat! Chalk another win up for this guy.

I watched that last night -

Wasn't hard to guess why he did it.

Makes me think about the "flotillas" that used to follow KVD, Ike and a few others

 all around the lake during the big derbies back in the day.

Going Stealth was really a Good Idea, but may be a one & done kind of thing now.

At least he got the most out of it - to the tune of $125K

also - nice 'Trophy Room' my word.

Reminds me a lot of when KVD had his decade...although Wheeler hasn't had a decade yet, I don't see him slowing down at all.  Very fun to watch and love his candid remarks on film.

Wheeler has it going on! Great bit of strategy in removing that wrap.

Stealth mode.

He is at it again. Leading FLW Super Tourney at Lacrosse.  Incredible.  

[GReb]

If he wins today that would be $520k in 3 FLW events this year I think

Was glad to see Monsoor win.  He was great to listen to. Seems like a great guy.

Monsoor gives some hope for middle age guys looking to compete into their later years.

He has had a long successful career!!
