After Mike won the Classic there was a special on with, I believe it was Bo Jackson and they talked about how to handle the press and longevity.
It is very hard to stay on top in any highly competitive world and in B.A.S.S. your here one day and gone the next.

I can not find anything on the net about this "Interview".

What I took away from this interview special was that Mike was told to do what ever it takes to get camera time. If you are not in front of the camera people will forget you and the sponsors will not continue to provide support.

Mike knows that screaming (translated= HEY LOOK AT ME) will keep his footage from ending up on the editing room floor.

And that's the bottom line.

Kevin VanDam , KVD, on the other hand lets his fishing do the talking.

When Mike is not in front of the camera, I believe he is a sincere guy and happy to be living his dream.
