Is Mike Long a Con-man, cheater or big bass guru in the large mouth bass fishing community? Mike Long was known as the big bass guru for numerous years. He won tournaments, caught hundreds of giant bass, and had the fishing community wondering how one man could catch so many giant large mouth bass. His world came crumbling down when one journalist set out to find out more about him and his style of fishing. This is the Mike Long story 2024.

Mike Long somehow turned his name into a verb: “Don’t be Mike Longing those fish, now!”
Didn’t Mike also have a secret compartment in his livewell that he would keep his kicker bass in until time for weigh in? I’ve heard so much about this guy it’s crazy. This guy was a complete scam on the sport.
All I’m gonna say is those walleye morons were more blatant but mike long managed to hoodwink more people over a longer period of time and was way more sneaky about his scumbagness even psychotic when he threatened a neighbors kid who saw the secret compartment in the front of the boat. Both are examples of how NOT to behave in tournaments.
Long is worse. Absolute fraud. Its just unfathomable what he did with a smile. He reminds me of adam schiff. LOL
Just more negativity from the "National Inquirer of bass fishing".
I have fished many bass tournament against Mike Long here is Southern California. For a long time he was known as "Live Bait Mike" because he was always using live trout to catch his big bass before he started snagging them. It got to a point in the early 2000's that there was a small group of us that would wait to pay our entry fees to a tournament to see if Mike Long showed up alone or with his partner. If he was alone that's when we all would just leave and he usually won those tournament with a ridiculous amount of weight. I'm glad that the MF'er got exposed. We haven't heard a word about him since he got exposed.
He ain’t the first or the last it’s still going on at all levels. Money corrupts
A lot of people look at Washington DC full of corruption and low life’s.
That will commit treason for a buck totally disgusting.
A cheater. Is a cheater . He or she are wrong !!!!!!'!!!!
Steve, I was going to tell you that the googins baits are pennies on the dollar and the fishing 13 baits are pennies on the dollar too, they gone
Glad you posted this after the comments on the most hated thread. This douchebag takes the cake. Tried to BS the LMV record, didn't work out for him
Just amazing how long he had gotten away with it. All the articles, shows, sponsors he had. Just crazy!!!
Long was worse, however I think we still need to have metal detectors at tournaments. LOL
I don't understand why nobody noticed the holes in the fish from the treble hooks. And I don't get how he kept them alive. I guess he did. What a lowlife.
For a second there I thought you were going to talk about Josh Jones.
The very sad thing in every sport/ hobby people have become me first and fast food community I want it now that they don't think they have to work at being the best give it to me now I showed up instead of working hard at being number one and earning the title
Mike Long for me, he duped even Roland Martin….Go Steve!
Sounds like Mike Long may have had a longer span of success and potential cheating… I heard he was selling swim baits or some type of lure that he was crediting a lot of his catches to. The walleye guys are well known because of maybe the peak popularity of short videos and of that famous quote "we got weights in fish"…..
He will go down as the biggest cheater, and the best magician in the world has ever seen because he simply disappeared
What about that guy who had fish in a basket and caught them in tournaments after he planted them?
Think of all the fisherman that he cheated out of prizes &money,
