For a detailed, exclusive history of Long’s deceitful, fraudulent career, make sure to check out “The dark secret of America’s big bass guru.” (https://sdfish.com/general/dark-secret-americas-big-bass-guru-mike-long)
Mike Long claims to have caught hundreds of bass over 10 pounds, 75 over 15, and one over 20, the ninth largest bass ever caught!
He has been heralded as one of the pioneers of big bait (swimbait) fishing, attributing most of the aforementioned catches to big rainbow trout-imitating baits. His big bass photos have been circulated all over the world, across the covers of over 40 magazines — even gracing billboards along the highways of America’s heartland.
He uses a large treble hook on a drop shot rig, seeks out big female bass that are in their spawning cycle in the clear-water reservoirs of San Diego County and sets the hook into their side as they swim between him and his snagging rig.
This video catches Long red-handed, deliberately attempting to snag bass over the course of two Springs in San Diego.
But snagging bass is just one of the dirty tricks he’s used to fool everyone into thinking he’s one of the best big bass anglers that ever lived.
What’d he do to cheat idk what snagging a fish is
Deserves to have his fishing license revoked for life. You are not a gentlemen of the sport.
I caught a huge bass before❤️
Its tail stuck way the fuck out of the bucket and my whole fist fit in its mouth(I've got some big ass paws). I'm reliving it even now just writing this. I let him go, and my friend took pictures. Still one of the best days ever… truly genuine… i wonder if Mike feels great or like a pos when he thinks back to all his big basses….
Where is the sport in snagging 😂
When he was snagging these there's a difference I saw no joy or any excitement when he was really them in. I know when I catch a large mouth I'm excited and there's joy !
Another case of keeping up with the jones…you have these douche bags with no skill like Luke wilson from VA that snag and brag
Seems about white.
This guy thought he was slick 😂😂😂got 25 min of his ass 😂😂😂😂 BIG BASS KING MY ASS
BIG ASS CHEATING SORE LOSER
Competition fishing brings out the dick in most men …that's why I fish for myself…I enjoy the hunt, but make no mistake if I don't catch …I don't catch….and fowl hooking em is just wrong….I pride myself on my fishing abilities…but if anyone comes near me and starts talking , banging on about how they won this and I should do this….trust me I've f**king chinned people….stay away from me whilst I am fishing or drinking my beer ..sometimes I doing my drinking whilst I'm. fishing….you don't won't be bumping into me on the river bank if I ain't catching Ha Ha ..tight lines yer all…love from the UK
I'm not reading paragraphs on a YouTube video.
This is years late but man that footage is not a good look for Airrus rods. Mike's using two of what is still their flagship Stargate model. Fantastic rods, arguably the best I've used, but HiStar makes an eerily similar rod at a 3rd of the price, The ArchAngel, sold through AliExpress that I've been favoring lately due to Airrus's questionable customer service/attitude. Seeing this association with Mike sours me further on the brand.
I bet you were smiling from ear to ear when you finally caught him red-handed. You are the real legend to the bass fishing community. Thank you sir 🙏
Idk anything about fishing but i love scams and scandals… This should have commentary some a noob like me knows what's happening…
What a dirt bag
they say that large mouth bass are so aggresive that if they did not stop eating during bedding season the females would eat all of thier young.
He’s on a boat with a fishing pole. Who the hell cares how you hook it. So by the government he’s cheating . Get out of here with that crap.
I’m so confused , cause to me it look like he just fishing , but hey that’s coming from a Novice
I mike longed the fuk out that big ole bass
If you had the ghillie suit , you should've had the sniper with you too . Make the boat sink than snag em to save his life or not , nobody would've known
Where is he doin whatever theyre sayin hes doin?
Kellen what the fuggg happened man ? You fall off or what?
I snag and then I finger down weighted marbles in the fish mouths before weigh ins then I win the boat or truck or whatever is being given away, then I take young college boys fishing with me and force them to do things they don't want or else I'll push em in and hold em under the water I punched the tires of anyone that points at me with an ice pick.. because I'm bad I'm bad really really bad just like Michael Jackson
Get ‘em Mike. SNATCH AWAY OL SON, I’m right there with you, except I’m using that good old #3 treble hook. C ya on the Withlacoochee😢
I saw a different video that said dude followed him for 2 years in a ghillie suit to get this footage.
I’ve never fished a day in my life yet YouTube brought me here. I have no idea what’s going on but I can tell from the comments that it’s something despicable. Completely lost but I keep watching trying to figure out what’s going on.
I bet it took every ounce of restraint for the cameraman not to jump out of his Ghillie suit and say “AH HAH I caught you cheatin MF”…🫵🏽🤦🏽♂️
Cheater,cheater $^#@ eater.
what exactly did he do that was wrong im confused i don’t know anything about sportfishing so to me it just seems like he’s fishing
He had that fish out of water forever…scumbag P O S
Why do they all look pregnant?
He’d make for a good politician, he’s got no morals!
Imagine wasting 2 years of your life just to out somebody lmao pass
