Dave Mercer dons a Santa costume and joins Mike Iaconelli for merriment, fun and fishing anecdotes on the Christmas Edition of Ike Live!, Tuesday, December 22, 7:00 pm ET, live-streaming from www.MikeIaconelli.com. Mercer—Canadian angler, emcee for the Bassmaster Classic and Elite series and host of the Facts of Fishing Tip Series and THE SHOW—is a sought-after seminar speaker because of his comedic presence, infectious energy and passion for fishing. He has eaten worms to see how they taste to the fish and jammed a hook into his hand to show viewers how to remove it, all to promote the great sport of fishing.

About Mike “Ike” Iaconelli
A South Philadelphia native now living in South Jersey, Mike Iaconelli fell in love with fishing at his grandfather’s side in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. He began fishing in tournaments after high school, joined the pro-am circuit in 1992 and turned pro in 2000. In 2003, he won the Bassmaster Classic. He is the only angler to win the Bassmaster Classic, Bassmaster Angler of the Year and B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
He and wife Becky run The Ike Foundation®, which provides fishing equipment to youth fishing clubs to “get kids fishing.” In addition, he and fellow fishing champ Pete Gluszek run The Bass University, which offers intense 2-day fishing classes and on-the-water experiences that bring avid amateurs and professional fishermen together.
