Dude Perfect is one of the most successful YouTubers in the world. They have over 66 million subscribers and have a huge fan following on several social media platforms. They are renowned for their Trick-Shot videos and comedy skits. A five-minute video of Bubba Wallace and co-taking on the challenge was uploaded and Columbia Sportswear’s official channel.

The fishing expedition was definitely something outside his comfort zone, the No:23 Toyota Camry driver. In his interview with the Forbs after the video’s shooting, Wallace shared his thoughts on his failed fishing trips of the past. He said, “For me, I’ve been able to fish, I’d say, once or twice. And I’ve never really caught anything. And so, to me I was like, man, you know, this isn’t really worth my time,”.

Wallace recollected his challenge-winning experience with the Youtubers as a thrilling experience. He went from catching no fish n the first day to reeling in big ones on the second. The 2022 Kansas Playoff race winner was so excited he texted his boss and NBA legend Michael Jordan, who is known for his love for fishing, to a trip together.

I had so much fun; I had a blast. Like, it totally changed my mind about fishing so much that I actually texted my boss MJ (Michael Jordan), who’s a big fisher, and I was like, ‘Hey, you know, next time you do a fishing tournament or something or just go fishing when you’re in town for a race, let me know,’” said Bubba Wallace.

Bubba Wallace is yet to impress his boss on track this season. He and his new teammate Tyler Reddick is yet to finish a race after the first two rounds. The drivers were unlucky in Daytona and Fontana as they were collected on big wrecks. Both drivers are expected to score multiple race wins and playoff entries this year. It will be a big step up for Wallace, who is yet to score a win during the regular Cup season.
