I don't know about the athletic requirements of fishing when using FFS, definitely not for guys who have steps on their trailer to get in their boat.
    If I could only keep one out of the two I'd do away with my FFS but no one is going to take my trailer steps away from me!

    Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Just smile and walk away.

Our bad man...sorry for being hard working good people.

    Who ever asked who shyt in my breakfast...people like this did. And let me tell you ALOT of us and the kids who bust their ass to earn a spot are sick of it. 50-60%% of the posters on this subject have never paid a dam entry fee...and thats fact.

    Yeah Rick the subject is charged....because the lack of respect for the work put in is shyt on by those who have never tried to do it...and even worse shyt on by those who currently do. And they know what it takes which is even more bullshyt.

    I hope they ban it just so I can watch these kids continue to do what they do and then WHAT WILL BE THE EXCUSE for getting out worked?

    Just smile and wave at those comments that's who they are don't let it get to you.. don't know why people can't understand that most parents if they can will do all they can for their kids and teach them the right ways

    Thank the Lord I don’t waste my time on fishing tournaments any more. More drama than a good soap opera.

    You will not get to the next level working full time anymore. That's sadly the fact and the game now. If your not on the water 5 days a week you simply wont.

    Look guys…i am simply and yes a little bit of being an ass giving you real life insight here. Im not sugar coating it or feeding u internet rethoric…i think whats wrong is many parents dont speak up or even fish like I do. But what I post is real. Like it or not..its first hand. I hate hearing the uniformed pass judgement on the work I see these guys do. Ive been around many of these kids since they were 15…there is a large group of us who have traveled the country for years together. And its brutal to hear a bunch of them get trashed by people who dont know.

    The draft is on tonight. Got to live a sport dad. So many will be so upset cause Junior didn’t get picked and will have to find eork instead of making it to the next level.

    Funny you resorted to name calling to Tigercat. Kinda like gripping the chain link backstop cussing at the ump. Post back when Junior adds a win to that bio.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    I can’t catch ‘em. But then my dad did not parade me across the country for 9 years. I never had potential.

    You need to seek some anger management. I merely stated a fact that competitive bass fishing has become a sport that takes a good deal of money. Am I mad at anyone who makes good money? Nope. I was not kidding however....about the youngsters pulling up at the launch with rigs over 80 grand and trucks almost that cost. I would have loved to have those deals at 17, 18, 19 years old. But hey, it's your money and it is a free country. You get to spend it the way you prefer. My surprise at this is not aimed at parents or the youngster, it is just my surprise. And, I merely pointed out the fact that the early Pros, many came into competitive fishing as bricklayers, mechanics in the National Guard, and working in tackle shops. Those days are gone. Calm down.
