Episode Details

Guys, we are BACK at the bar and we've got a LOT going on. 🍺🎣 Memorial Day weekend is behind us — and Ike and Beck are breaking it all down. How they spent it, what it meant, and why this time of year just hits different heading into the back half of the season.

Speaking of the back half… we've officially crossed the halfway point of Mike's FINAL year on the Bassmaster Elite Series. How's the season going? What's working? What's not? An honest look at where things stand with nine tournaments on the schedule and the clock ticking on one of the most legendary careers in the history of the sport.

And then… the topic EVERYBODY is talking about right now. The Fuzzy Ball. The Coike. The Urchin Bait. Call it whatever you want — this thing is TAKING OVER bass fishing in 2026 and we are diving ALL the way in.

Here's what we're getting into tonight:

➡️What IS this bait and why are fish going absolutely CRAZY for it?

➡️How Mike sees it fitting into competitive bass fishing at the Elite Series level

➡️Why pressured fish are eating this thing when they won't touch anything else

➡️Why it's sold out EVERYWHERE and back-ordered at $20 a bait

➡️Honest Elite Series halfway point check-in — the highs, the lows, and what's ahead This is Ike Live at its best, guys.
