Not sure how many of you guys saw this but it appears Jon B. (Fishing the Midwest) sold one of his reels for $9,500 on ebay.

Seems fishy (pun intended) to me. Looking at the bidding history a lot of bidders have little to no feedback scores.

Proceeds went to charity but I wonder if this one really sold.

What do you guys think?

YouTube video: 

 

Just my opinion its BS. But probably could have got $100K if it hadn't had the "minor scratches".  

Ever hear of the internet? Well don't believe everything you see, read, or hear on it.

 

 

 

I saw that and thought great..then saw all the bids by guys with no history..shill bids.

I could care less. still has awesome videos.

The proceeds were going to be donated to charity. Sucks if his "fans" jacked up the bidding and bailed. I saw his other reels all went for ~$300-500.

 

Must be switching to Daiwa

Thats what i thought lol, he probably got a sponsor now

just notice this thread but he has ZPI custom reel parts on that reel and ZPI are Japanese and very very expensive just one piece of the handle is a little over 500

LOL, have you ever actually bought ZPI parts? (Yes, I have)

This auction was a farce, it was bid up by his buddies, then never paid for...

So you'd rather watch bill dance fish a private ranch? Lol 

 

I don't know who these kids are you speak of.. or whom John b is... But if it gets the younger generation into fishing I don't see it as all that bad ? Alot of grown men are screaming for attention with their videos not just the youth ! 

 

Is their no beneficial gain to watching their videos (whomever "they" are) ? I mean obviously not for you... You seem pretty annoyed.. but  say someone in their youth without a mentor ? 

 

These kids could be doin drugs and other crimes ! And although being an attention ***** may be annoying...   Could be worse... Right . ? 

 

 

I don't watch any of it.  Shows I watch about fishing are Lunkerville, MLF, and Hunt for Big Fish.  Far more interesting.

Jon B is one of the more entertaining members of the Googan Squad. He is talented when it comes to camera work, video editing and back round music. He has traveled to some interesting places to fish.

 

Is he juvenile sometimes, sure. He reminds me of myself when I was that age traveling with my buddies to fish.

 

Some of his early videos were actual educational types about baits and techniques.

 

If I can't fish I like to watch fishing vids, any fishing vids. I think I need help.

Googan squad sounds corny... Lol but I can get along with most  bass fisherman 

I stopped watching fishing videos when they went from being entertaining to self promotional. Been a while, now that I think about it.
