For all of the Rocky Fork anglers who think my brother cheats !!!!!

[FSHN ROD]

He had a observer on this day !
So sick of hearing Ryan Hipsher cheats because he wins constantly.................
I know this has been a rumor for a while and was confirmed by my boater I drew in the weekend series.

Is there anyone he or we have not caught fish in front of ?????
He does not have a magic "bait" , he does not have a magic "spot" what he does have is a ability to pick apart structure and know what a fish should be doing on any givin day.
He paid his dues to the local sticks for years before anyone knew him.
The boy thinks like a fish and can shine in highly pressured lakes !
Why dont he fish the bigger opens ? Easy $$$$$ is the reason
I gurantee if he had some help he could make the Elites .........
Funny how a guy who cant catch a fish can get all sorts of help ( some know who I am talkin about) but a guy who can win in Ohio,Ind,Ky (Ky Lake) regularly cant even get a Local Rod sponsor. All I can say is he has 1 Loomis that has won him over $3,000 this month

What's his name? I've never heard of him... Dan

[FSHN ROD]

Ryan he drives the limo with Triton down the side of it.
You may have heard him on The Rebel if ya listen to country music.
This always happens when a guy does good on a repeat basis seem like.
Just bugs me to know that there is talk of this by jealus anglers .

[TE 863]

Never heard of him before today where does he fish? just rocky ? If he wants exposure fish every lake and river in the tri state but if he,s doing well on rocky get all you can get

Rod I have been fishing tournaments on Rocky for 12 years and I have never heard some one talk down on your brother. I don't know him but there is no doubt he can flat out fish. he puts his time in. Thats what it takes. I am pretty good at making donations . I bet your bro has spent a few of my $ cuzz I sure like giving it to him.... . Way to have your brothers back. By the way it was good talking to ya at the early bird and nice meeting you.

[FSHN ROD]

Nice meeting you as well !!
I had that 4.7 on my third cast and got 2 more bites the rest of the day .
You are the only person I have ever seen hit that particular little hole where you caught that fish.
I sat there one day with a dartin-r and caught 14lbs just off the right of that tree.
Oh Tony , its a cpl of guys who watch on here but rarley or never post.

[Tony Pennington]

Rod, I have caught a few off that spot my self. I was boat 8 this coming weekend up at rocky but one of the boy's I coach lost his mother and the funeral is sat. My buddy will be there in the 882. Tell him to stay off our spot .

[FSHN ROD]

Ill be in my Champion I am boat 12 I will catch and pass him
Well Doug Cavin wont let him fish in the Get Hook'd series because he AND HIS PARTNER brought in a state legal limit for two people and culled at the ramp.
No rule was in place for culling at the ramp and He just dont like to get beat by my brother I think .
There is no legit reason to keep Ryan from fishing this series other than he is scared and knows Ryan will place in about the whole schedule he set.
If I had more time I would fish em and he would hate me at the end of the year as well.
Not very professional for a guy who claims to be
"Over 5 years as Field Staff, Pro-Staff, Sales Representative, Director of Pro-Staff, and Director of Sales for various companies in the fishing industry."
Doug as you read this I challenge you.............Um name the body of water , date, time , etc. We will appoint a observer and fish 8 hrs for nothing except to prove to you that YOU CANT BEAT HIM ANYWHERE , ANYTIME.
And this guys is where these rumors started........I have had enough of it and cant bite my tongue anymore.

[ohioskeeter]

Had a little tourney yesterday at Rocky. We were all excited until Ryan showed up He won! BTW, saw him boat all his fish close to were I was fishing. He is a good fisherman and nice guy. Talks to everybody and doesn't gloat. I think people resent the fact he does well at Rocky and wins. I wish him well. My philosophy is I just try to better my limit/weights each tourney, just like golf which i quit. Hope to be near 5 lbs soon . LOL

[FSHN ROD]

Thanks Eric , means alot to me !
We will be out there Fri. Ryan , I and some buddy's are taking some kids and disabled from a friends church out to enjoy a day on the water. Hope we have descent weather.

[Whitaker201]

1st off. Good job Ryan.

2nd. Rod this is the first time I have heard any rumors about your brother. Your brother always does good in T's and is just a good stick. I know he has put some time in on these lakes around here.

[Z118]

First I have heard of anything. Sounds like a bad case of Envy (definition = is best defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks anothers (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.

[Sboggs]

If someone is saying your brother is cheating,then thats there problem.If he is still doing tournaments then dont worry about what people think or say shut them up by kicking there butt on the water.
As far as someone giving him Rods,Dont count on it ! there are so many people out there that want free stuff its not even funny.I spend all my time fishing Erie with the best on the Lake and they arent getting everything for free,Someone has to flip the bill.Tell him to go out there and kick butt things will take care of them selfs.

[FSHN ROD]

LOL Thank you..............
He is not lookin for a rod sponsor or anyone to give him anything really I was just using that as example.
He is like me we use a number of different rod companiesfor different baits.
My spinnerbait rod for example is a 15 yr old Silstar classic . I love it cant buy em and I aint seen one that compares to it. My Buzzin rod- St-Croix. All the rest of my rods are Houston Tx made All Stars

Hey Ryan has fished my tournaments for 2 years now, and there has never been a time where he looked dishonest. He and Amanda are always offering to help me at my events. Rod and Ryan, you guys are always welcome to fish with us.
