""One must choose in life between boredom and suffering." - Madame de Stael
"How many of us know our grandfather's father?"
I do, as well as many other long departed relatives, but I'm a genealogist, so I'm cheating.
While it took me 59 years to get one, I actually got 2 in 15 minutes. That was a great day.
Wasn't this go round at Fork for Livesay.
Based on the comments, it would appear Milliken is getting done exactly what he wants to. Get people talking about him and build his brand. As the old saying goes, "No such thing as bad publicity"....
True. Same I've heard with every technology innovation that has come along since the green box. It's just with the others there wasn't as much social media.
And this was Rick Clunn's response to this post.
Rick Clunn Professional AnglerI completely agree.
Success breeds resentment.  Strong men build people up, weak men tear others down.
Yep. Like the guy or not, he is a hammer. Before he moved down here, I would occasionally watch him, but it wasn't till then that I followed him regularly. One of my guides (the capn'Ron mentioned in...
I'd pick Hershel walker, but those are in the same arena.
Nothing against Fork, and I have fished it many times, but if I was going to Texas to catch bass, Fork wouldn't be my pick.......unless you just want to say you fished it. Plenty of easier lakes with...
Definitely. Of all the Elite pros reactions I've seen so far who got stomped, I've seen exactly ONE point the finger where it belongs. At himself. So, I give Crew props on that one.
I've used probably half of them that guide regularly. When people ask who, I always ask what your expectations are, what you want to accomplish, what is your fishing style, etc, etc. IMO, the is no...
I'm a year younger, but do it the same way. I thought we were the ones that are supposed to piss and moan about technology?
True.
I'm an old guy. When I was a kid there was still a debate about the "green box". The old timers said it was cheating and ruining fishing. Same with the paper burners, GPS, electronic mapping, DI, SI,...
Can't remember the guys name, but he only had one sponsor. His family were part of the gang from Gulf Oil. I could be wrong, but I don't remember his ever cashing a check.
Again, I agree.
It's just the nature of South and West Texas lakes. 5 years ago, Ivie was a river channel. Then after the Milliken video, it got hammered. I'm sure its not as easy now as it was then. Water level...
Agreed. The first guide that had FFS on Fork, as far as I know, is Jack York. He's a hammer and known for bigs and knows LS and knows Fork. York is fishing the opens trying to qualify for the elites,...
Every time there is a big tournament on Fork, it gives the false impression of its easily done. Fork is a hard lake to fish. It's extremely heavily pressured and a significant number of the people...
He is shy and may have schizoid personality. In any case, his video a while back, while true in many respectsm I think where he says the advice of all the old pros was to take care of fishing and the...
Well, that 2 degrees makes a much bigger difference the farther out you are. At 30-40 feet its not as noticeable as when you get out to 80-199 feet.
Well, I was never a fan of the jumpsuit days eithers.
I'll second that/ Bob Lusk (the Pond Boss) knows his ponds. He also has a YT channel of the same name. Tons of videos and he also does live stuff.
No, none that I know of. Milliken did a video on this a few weeks back in response to Blaukhead's assertion and he added a couple of ACTUAL studies in the video. The upshot being that it didn't seem...
