BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 13, 2008 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 13, 2008 As most of you know, I spent the day with Mike Iaconelli during prefishing for the Classic. Of course, I asked questions and shot a lot of pictures. I put everything together into a video for your viewing pleasure.... Here is the video. Enjoy!

Bob Kavanaugh Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Great interview. I like Mike, his intensity gets me fired up to go fishing. Thanks for documenting your experience with him so well, and sharing it with us. "Ow my nose!" ;D ;D ;D Quote

Guest muddy Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 WOW Thank you Glenn, took a while to download. i don't follow the pro thing too much but when he said Listen to the fish, DO NOT FISH YOUR HISTORY< FISH THE MOMENT, that really got me thinking Thanks Glenn and Ike good stuff 8-) Quote
nboucher Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 That was great, Glenn! The key to a good interview is having the interviewer ask a good question and then get out of the way. Too many interviewers feel as if they have to keep talking, not realizing it's not about them. Your restraint was masterful, Glenn. I agree that not fishing your history was Mike's great lesson. As a northeasterner, I found his comments about starting off in New Jersey really interesting as well. And thanks to reelnmn for putting it into a wmv file that us non-geeks could handle. Quote
moloch16 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Mike is certainly a very interesting bass pro. Everyone should read his book "Fishing on the Edge". Quote
MaxDal Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Very good interview indeed. Thank you Glenn. You know, it's a good interview when you don't hear that many product names...... I even heard, "we don't have magic baits, or magic rods...". That's a good honnest reply. Thanks again Glenn. The pictures are really good too. 8-) Quote
Super User flechero Posted March 13, 2008 Super User Posted March 13, 2008 Very well done, Glenn! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together for us. Great info! He sounds like a fun guy to fish with... I liked how excited he got and wanted you to feel the bites... while practicing for a T, he still saw the value in sharing the moment. Classy, Mike, very classy! Quote
sodaksker Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Glenn, Great job on the interview. I never used to be an Ike fan, but that guy has true passion for the sport. Over the past 18 months, my attitude towards him has completley changed. That had to be one great memory for you as well. Thanks again for the great story and your efforts to bass resource. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Tremendous. Great interview Glenn. Very informative and it provided good insight into Ike and what type of guy he is. Quote
