  • so inspiring. check out my channel for more inspirational videos!

  • I see by the dislikes-there are 10 people online who have no heart or soul! This man is trully an inspiration to all!! I am so moved-I am speechless-rare for me.(smile)

  • Nice

  • I do want what he has...motivation beyond belief. Clay Dyer, I will always remember your name.

  • The best video I ever saw in my life!....if that does'nt bring a tear to your eye I don't know what will!

  • I dont care wat people say he going after his dreams hes not letting the fact that he only has one arm and not even his legs bit hes going after his dreams that tells me hes a strong man stronger than most and hhas a brave heart to endure it all..... HES MY HERO and hes the bassmaster

  • I dont care what anyone says he may have not won the bassmasters but to me he is the BASSMASTER

  • I would be HONORED to have this man on my boat catfishing with me.

  • He might not catch the biggest or numerous number of fish! But he fished the heart of a lot of people including me! Salute to you Clay!

  • I was really touched... He's amazing! :)

  • hi everybody my name is darren i live in england on the banks of the river trent im a big pike angler or shud i say was , 2 yr ago i was diag with a very rare bone cancer had all my sturnam and nearly all my rib cage out , i cant fish anymore , broke my heart, this guys a insparation to me, gave me the will to fish through the pain and get a pb many thanks clay

  • Jose Carlos - Curitiba-Parana-Brasil- Obrigado por existir, parabens, Deus abençoe, um exemplo.

    Good,good,good,good ,,,

  • hands down the most moving video i have ever seen. Clay is truely and amazing person and i hope one day i cant meet him. To see someone who was dealt the hand that he was and absolutely thrive is amazing. and the fact that he's a fisherman makes it that much more awsome. thanks for your inspiration clay

  • the audio is too low, pls fix it, I cant hear it at all.

  • full zise! You are The realy big boss!

  • Being from Hamilton, AL myself, I see Clay quite often. Mostly on Friday nights when he's helping coach our high school's football team, sometimes even in the classroom when he subs in for another teacher. It's pretty amazing to see someone you know so well, be such an inspiration to others. What they said is true though. Clay's limitless, and refuses to back down to everyday challenges that people like us wouldn't think twice about. Right behind you Coach Dyer...

    Rep them Hamilton Aggies well!

  • I feel honored that I've met and talked with this man. He is truly amazing.

  • 7 people who voted down either reform or get hit by lightning

  • i know this inspired feeling will only last like 10 minutes it will all go back to, what i had is different from his, he is born with it that why he can accept it, my life was never like this, GOD must have punished me... :( will there be a light at the end of the tunnel? am i on the right track? did i really stumble so i would know that i can get up or did i fall on a dark deep endless hole, i really don't think hope would still go this deep..

  • until know i still cant accept this disability, it seems my world is getting smaller and smaller everyday... and this is one of the reason why i found this video, well this is inspiring, but just like what your caption says, "this maybe the most important 10 minutes of your life " ,

  • Just when I gave up one God I hear Clay Dyer say "Thank You Lord"; just for a measly fish!

  • anyone who thumbs downed this is a serial killer ...

    I have had this video off espn for years and showed it to my teams and camps, and brings kids to tears and admiration every time!

    Clay is one of my true heroes!

  • Respect,

  • 7 people don't have head to think.. when they are born...lol =)

  • Wow that guys got balls

  • Wow i lost the use of my left hand due to a brain injury i has been paralyzed since 04 for that reason i have not fished since 04

    I been making excuses why i cannot fish anymore after seeing Clay am going to clean my tackle& gear tomorrow I plan to be crappie fishing  on West Point Lake next month Thanks to seeing you Clay am about to reclaim the fun of my life

  • @spiceroots ... gosh, I have shows clay's video to kids 50xs, and your post

    just made my day, congrats to you ... clay is an inspiration of all time to me!

  • Hi Clay...I am sure you have a biiiiiiiiiiig heart that none of us have :-) that is besides the other countless things... may GOD always protect you...have a wonderful day ... if you ever wish to visit Egypt...you are more than welcome...just email me to arrange it... info @ exposeegypt . com

  • Clay's Mom shouldn't have taken all those narcotics when she was pregnant

  • The effort alone is worth "Hero" status. Go for the trophy for yourself. For the rest of us... You're already a Winner. Thanks Clay.

  • Hi Clay , Thank you for inspiring me !

  • Comment removed

  • All around great person. I wish I had half the determination he has. Top 3 people I would like to fish with goes: Jesus, Clay Dyer, and KVD.

  • whats your excuss?

  • Come on, there has to be a company out there that can make him some prosthetic limbs!! Do it!!!!!!!

  • What a winner. Such an inspiration..

  • thanks Clay you made my day today

  • think if he had all his appendages... he'd be the fishing king! very inspirational and sad. fight on clay! and make that cut!

  • Hey clay my friend made a post on facebook to look at a video of you.... im inspired by you just by looking at this video i hope you make the cut i have fished since i could hold a pole. there is no one that can do what you can do. have fun with your life and glad you picked fishing as a sport you love!!!!

  • Saw you speak tonight Clay, and enjoyed every minute of it, you are a true Inspiration to all of us, God Bless you Clay.....Keep sharing your story's.

  • Very inspiring.

    Smiles,

    S & E

  • Your awesome Clay!!! You truely are such an amazing person!!!

  • Kind of makes all your problems look like nothing. Keep doing your thing Clay. You are an inspiration to me personally.

  • I've met Clay. My mother even dated him and as far as people go, Clay has a heart of gold and determination so strong that you feel stronger just being near him. To Clay, just as you told me, "Bass Wishes" and you'll make the cut someday soon if you haven't already

  • I'm sure everyone's thought this, but what else can Clay do with his tongue if he can tie knots that quickly?...^_~

  • puts things into comparison

  • You'er are Fantastic and inspirational Man. Keep it up. You 'er marvelous !

  • Funniest thing I ever saw.

  • You go clay!!!! Your a winner!

  • He's a winner all right. God bless him.

  • Can't wait to hear when you make that cut, Clay!

  • Damn, I'm an athletic 6'4" guy. I don't think I'd want to keep living if I lost just one limb. Pretty sure I couldn't live his life. Good for him pursuing his dreams though... I wonder how often he accidentally eats the worm.

  • @Hrel88 i needed that it was funny

  • ur my new hero, thank you Clay

  • Thank You Clay!!!

  • amazing and truely touching!! A hero there is no other word.....

  • A heart ,soul, and mind ! What most people will never figure out Clay already mastered !!

  • Clay, you're already a champion in life.

  • How dare the rest of us complain about our problems! He's a very special person. :)

  • Good video.. great job clay.... this gives me hope that i also may go into public without caring if people stare at me.. and it lets me know that no matter what i want to do, there's is absolutely no excuse for not doing what you love to do. If you fail then it makes you evaluate what you can improve on. So not making the cut probably better , since you can end up being the best, not just capable.

  • why are the family members crying? disrespecting clay like that. it's been 27 years already.

  • @mrzack888 ya i agree.. when i broke my back it was worse for everyone else emotionally. And family wants to help so badly because emotionally they cant handle it. Yet all most handicap people need is to left alone to work on doing stuff, for me i could not get anyone to leave me alone.. i couldn't do anything without being harassed. Able body people cant stand seeing someone who is handicap doing something for themselves society, empathy can seem crazy sometimes.

  • @mrzack888 They aren't disrespecting him. They worried about their little boy and his future in this world. Maybe only a parent of a child who isn't considered normal

    can understand.

  • I wonder who the 5 dislikes are? maybe it was an error It must be, no

    human being could click thumbs down on this video 

  • Thank you Clay! You are a great inspiration. You're the real winner!

    You've been blessed to be a blessing to others! Power!!!

  • I'd like to meet you one day and maybe get to fish with you. I live Fairly close to the big G and coming up there this weekend to stay the weekend. If i see you out there I'ma stop and say hey and say how much of an inspiration you are too me. And i would really like to see you out there on the FLW final weigh in one day in the BJCC arena winning first place.

  • It is souls like you Clay that have decided to come into the world with "perceived limitations" that encourage, uplift, strengthen and inspire the rest of us. With all my being I thank you for deciding to come the way you did. You have helped me to see the world full of possibilities instead of focusing on some of its limitations. Money can't buy what you have achieved, what a success story you are...much love and gratitude xx

  • you are better than many people in the world in many things. nice video

    O2 = Oprah/Obama thinking would have told Clay here's your check to enjoy a pity-party filled life.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  • Awesome Video!

    I pray all get courage and determination like him.

    God Bless

  • what an awesome guy. Definitely an inspiration.

  • Thanks Clay, thanks for making me feel like the most inferior, self absorbed, sh*t talking 4 limbed person you will ever meet in your life. You sir, are an inspiration to even the hardest of hearts and God bless you, and I'm a f'ing atheist!

  • this guys mind power and will makes him an insperation. he makes me want to be greatfull for everything i have good or bad.

  • Everytime when i think things are going tough for me i remember this video and then suddenly i wonder what the heck is hard about my life when this guy has no arms or legs?

    Thanks to Clay, i realised how fortunate i am.

  • Is is possible scientifically to get fake arms and legs ? He could do a sponsor and get donation from few huge companies and do surgery if its possible.

  • but he has so much pride in being able to do what he does with out having, as he said it, "special treatment" He probably wouldn't want it anyways.

  • Clay you'll be in my prayers and hopefully you'll make the cut...you've already made the cut in life my friend .

  • I first read about you in a magazine, I loved how you always knew your outcome. The choices to push on and not take giving up as an option, produces the drive, ambition and desire to go all out. You are the real deal and I thank you for doing all you can do, and sharing with the world.

  • Heart,soul and mind is all you need. you are so right clay.

  • I want what that Guy's got!

    He is a Winner For Sure!!

    Peace be with you bro! Keep livin' the dream!

  • Wow

  • he came to our school today

  • Thank you for sharing this. Clay, you are an Awesome man. I know you will make the cut. Looking forward to hearing about it.

  • I'm alot luckier than I think.

  • Inspirational. Feel like walking straight up to Clay and just say "thank you".

  • Thank you for this video.

  • Clay,

    Watching that video has made me a better person.

    Thank you.

    Please let us know when you make the cut!

  • Thanks man

  • Such an inspiration. Thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • that was really inspirational... he has just made it obvious that you can do anythin you just have to believe you can

  • ...my heart goes to this man. Not that I pity him but I think there's no room for that...BUT BECAUSE I admire him for his strength and faith. I salute you, Clay!

  • Great story. Clay is truly inspirational.

  • hehe i like it when he jumped into the water. but its amazing what he does

  • at the end of this they asked what he might want....... nothing, he has what he needs. It's the rest of us that need things from HIM.... hope, faith and courage.....he has more than most of us put together...

  • He's my new hero :)

    God Bless you

  • God Bless him

  • June 6, 2009 - I fell in love again. Not with Clay :), but with his undying spirit. I love what you do. God Bless

  • You are truly incredible man. You are so cool!

  • This video made me shed tears. I can't believe a man named Clay with no arms and legs has the ability to fish like he does and the willingness to keep doing it even when he doesn't succeed. It brings great joy and inspiration to my eyes to know that this man is a symbol of humanity and the struggles that we all have to live by. Keep fishing Clay, don't give up hope.

  • I am completely floored. Most of all, I am humbled and thankful for watching this video. I do not however, see this as a handicap, but as a blessing. Clay is a true inspiration for me after watching this. Does anyone know how to get a hold of him?
