There are always 2 sides to a story but it looks like the trophy bass master Mike Long may have cheated and lied about some of his angling records, fishing tournament wins, and just flat out behaved unethically while bass fishing – basically he’s a fraud. Long is a famous figure in bass fishing history and marks a point in the timeline putting trophy California fishing on the map as well as playing a huge role in popularizing big swimbait fishing across the U.S. His 20+lbs fish made the cover of Bassmaster back in the early 2000’s and he still plays a role in fishing defining the direction of trophy bass fishing as well as the Cali swimbait and tournament scene.

Fishing lures, fishing rods, fishing reels, I get my gear at Tackle Warehouse https://bit.ly/2Mdwtns
The one person that disliked this is probably mike long
Me and my dad used to go fishing with this dude all the time back in the 90s when i was 9 or 10
As a lifetime bass angler,I never thought my foreman m.l., was thee,m.l. It's all true, kickers sourced from golf course ponds, lake swapping fish,it's all true, putting it all together,yrs.later.
Dude wasnt only cheating at catching fish, but was cashing in on signature series rods..lol…and probably much more that equated money for this turd.
This the guy that lets his dog lick the slime coat off the Bass before releasing em 😆
I grew listening to Doug Hannon and I guarantee he would never do this, and he had 100’s of monster bass to his credit
Anyone here because of the walleye cheats?
5:03 if you’re interested in fish behavior then I suggest you should look up some stuff on “Spoonplugging”
You just admitted to being a liar. Go fish dome pro derbies and let's see how you for. His team partners took their half of the money as well Do not forget that part when many of them were part of the article. Should they give the money back?
You just stated you are a liar as well.
You all better not talk about something you only have one half of the story with most of it heresay. You are a poser.
Back in the day I partnered with a guy , we had an offshore boat and we loved fishing and spearfishing..we would come in with good catches and everybody wanted to know where we went…we would just point out to the gulf…WELL YEAH….WE ARE GONNA TELL YA.
I saw a video of Mike Long snagging a bass on nest! Shame , shame
Seriously don't know what it is about you fisherman, but I can listen to you guys talk for hours
Only here because of the recent walleye tournament cheaters getting caught.
New to your content. Most appreciated. 👍 🎣🧢
Everyone on my lake says “caught em on red spinner bait in 20 foot of water.”
It’s a term of endearment. It really means gtfo!
And here we are again with two of the biggest walleye cheaters Jake Runyan and Chase Cominsky
I assume you’ve all seen the video by now. Snagging is no bueno.
Mikey, only been watching your vids for a few months but feel an affinity with you, and you have a rare commodity oozing out of your pores, and that is wisdom (Wiz-dam: a very precious and costly commodity, that is obtained one microgram at a time only during bouts of horrible suffering). I grew up SO frustrated trying to figure out bass fishing before the internet. My relatives all fished and tried to teach me, but they were all math brains, and to me, a verbal brain, sounded like cavemen grunting out answers in morse code.
Problem I have with Youtubers is most are not honest that they make money doing it, mostly avoid subject, yet once the big money pours in they never or rarely answer questions. Especially a good question. Kinda like too big for britches now. In other words in beginning they begging for views and likes then big money comes and the attitude is i am busy. Another example
Randy Blaukat has a paid version and free. When his dad was ill several posts i made i included a prayers for his dad. He never responded thx. But his paid guys he would respond. And if post something without swearing and he not like it he deletes it. Luke Dunkin the same way. I one time shy away from tackle warehouse to try baitwrx using dunkin code and they ripped me off. He deletes post
He lies about everything. I heard he’s more like Mike Turtlehead.
But he must have big balzz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46EsQ-JnYP4 very good training but im not taking any credit and i dont have a channel but it is good advice for fisherman
Mike long failed a polygraph and confessed to the polygraph examiner that he had used illegal means to catch the record bass at Lake Dixon that allowed him to have the record and win a big bass tournament.
It's sad, and to see people who go to such extreme measure to cheat their way in the sport.
I belonged to the Antelope Valley Bass in the mid 80s and long after leaving So Cal I remember hearing about this guy … I fished some of those same lakes and when I heard he’d caught supposedly 75 over 15 I was like “ not possible”and then when I’d heard he’d won a bunch of team events fishing solo it was “yep, he’s cheating …”. Oh and I was fishing Headwaters today and caught 2 over 18 and a 15.5 on big swim baits. Didn’t have a GoPro running and my cell had died and I was fishing alone like I usually do and there was no one at the boat ramp to take pics but you know how that lake is …. 😂 …
We all have character defects. But bass fishing should make all of us honest and humble. Nothing is more humbling than being out smarted by a Fish!
