You ever hear the joke about 3 Canadians walking into a bar? Us either but it sure makes for a great podcast. Cory Johnston doubled down in 2024 with 2 Elite Series victories. Not to be outdone, little bro Chris Johnston just became the first Canadian to EVER win the Progressive Bassmaster Angler of the Year title.
It was a huge year for both these hockey-playing brothers from north of the border. However it was not all highlights. There were some low lights including World War Gee at the St. Lawrance River. This week the Johnston brothers belly up to the bar to talk about all that and so, so much more on the Mercer podcast.

Love this podcast listen to every one, good luck on the water 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Last time I checked punching someone in the face has repercussions also… Hockeys over bud…
Those were 6-8 footers…. I assure you.
Man I wish the boys came to the Moose capital for their hunt instead. Ive got multiple big bulls located that i would gladly put them on.
The good old days were when social media did not exist !!! Congrats to both of you guys, terrific job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just have to ignore these idiots who talk about things they know nothing about.
Those boys been whipping fisherman waaaaaay before FFS
“Amazing, Enjoyed Every Second of It”! 👊👊👊🎣🎣🎣😊
👍
Hasn’t seen Star Wars!! All respect lost!
You boys made us proud . Keep up the great work and my money is on Corey the BFM champ of bass .
You maple syrup loving fellas from the north are always welcome in Michigan!
The St. Lawrence earnings or bust
Country had zero to do with it. And I guarantee gee wasn't happy Abt the spot squatting. Chris won event sure, but cory 100% shit on gee's fish… On purpose. Without any penalty. Plus the live deal. Bass def showed their ass bewmtween this and trey.
Do not fish on top of the leader man…. If that got done to you or your bro you'd wanna throw hands.
Cory had no dog in it…. Gee was trying to win.
There wasn't a single boat fishing day 1 or 2…. That's what these guys don't admit to. They change the subject to a different body of water. You should've lead gee fish it, point blank. Admit any sort of wrong doing…..
Chris found his fish, hats off…. Cory blocked fished from gee….. That's a fact. Bass live doesn't lie. Cory should've been dq'd.
Mercer, your bar setting is a cool change of pace. the Johnston Bros are the new version of the Lane Bros, IMO. they compete hard with consistency and always seem to be in the game, if not one, the other or both. They’re tough guys who are built for competitive sports…their game is fishing and they’re very good at it…whether it’s finesse power fishing with electronics or beating the banks with power tools. What impresses me the most about their game is how versatile they are. Either one of them could win any tournament on any lake.
What mlf angler talked trash on their podcast? lol that tells you right there I don't keep up with MLF because they're on the verge of folding and all those anglers are jumping in the opens.
Cory…'maybe with another pandemic, they'll grow their man parts back'. 😂 With the way the world is, that's unlikely.
Great one Dave! Like these dudes even more.
Cory must have died when he saw what an Ewok looks like and how it resembles Robert Gee knowing he had no idea what an Ewok actually was. I laughed so hard knowing he didn't know what they were. Then the Star Wars meme. I just died. Fishing and even hunting is all about busting each other's balls. It's all part of the comradery.
Really cool that Bob Izumi went to their party as well.
nice bar great content
Awesome show, keep up the good work!
Let’s just say that if you love fishing you where able to witness something that I am sure will never happen again when it comes to two amazing anglers ( brothers) winning. 🏆
Great podcast!! Congratulation to the J brothers!! Social media sucks !! Not to be negative, but the lakes will become real quiet when the "individual carbon limits" come in from our globalist governments. No more trailering the boat for "fear of endangering the climate further".
Future is going to get interesting!!
👍🏻
Anglers are showing how much money they make, why dont B.A.S.S. open books and show anglers how much they actually make?????
EWOK!!!!!!
Another great one Dave! Great to hear from life of Bassmaster anglers north of the border. I hope you will keep these podcasts going for the rest of the calendar year. There's a reason for your increase in subscribers. Keep being positive, real, fun and understanding us that love fishing! I loved the podcast with Zona and Clunn as well. Great people! Rick Clunn is like the E.F. Hutton of the outdoor world, "When Rick Clunn speaks, we listen."
Good show, thanks for having them back Dave. Ike gave you a shout out on his show this week, I’d like for you to get Mike on next Wednesday and talk about some real noise!! Ike says it like it is. He’s not persuaded by what might be right or wrong.
Thanks fellas, awesome episode
This was great and fun to watch ,way to go guys
I don’t care what Chris said or the reasons he did it. You never pull within 100 feet from the leader. Never. You do that to Tommy Biffle and you would have a Hardhead up side your head. That was a shitty thing to do.
Imagine complaining on social media about people complaining on social media….about you complaining on social media
Nate Diaz used the term Ewok talking about the Rus fighters beards is how it got started in popularity
Great show & location! Very good they are friends with the Ewok! I too hope payouts & BASS overall improves!
Thanks for leaving the leftovers in the fridge. Great show and I love the neon “Enjoy Being!”
