Old Bernie, he is a cry baby

[bzbrent]

Is that an article? Or an email someone sent to bass master? All the “I” and “me” and he never says who he is…. No author at the top, nothing at the bottom…. Who wrote it?

It’s right up at the top - “written by Bernie Shultz”

Tournament drama.

My observation from my perspective as someone who could care less about professional fishing. I see all of this alleged “drama” injected into the mix as purely staged to stir interest into something that perhaps was lagging … like when The Deadliest Catch first started, it was basically a documentary about crab fishermen. Now it’s a soap opera with crab fishing as a background … I mean how long can you milk that premise and keep the average no attention span American tuning in ???? …. DRAMA !!!! …. They’ve done it to the news, sports and pretty much all other forms of entertainment, why should fishing be any different ?? Someone is laughing all the way to the bank.

Well the old guy was the one who came in on the new guy.

Yep.

[lakebouef5]

Sounds like he apologized! Hang him!

[VA Bass]

he said he was sorry but then went on to blame Caleb for it all. laughable.

SOME DRAMA QUEENS ON THE BBC loves this stuff.

FIFY.

Irrelevant Bernie should chose wisely who he tries to bully. I doubt this situation would have ended the same if he tried his garbage with others like Livesay, Swindle, Herran and some others. DB move on his part!

Can't stand someone who is "I, I, I, me, me, me" it's mostly women that do that but if you look at the way he keeps his hair then that's all you really need to know.

really?

I read the article and did t take it as Bernie whining as much as giving his side.

I tend to agree. As you know there always two sides to the story.

Sounds like he got an article on the Bass website to promote Ike's show. Pro's know Facebook, Podcasts and videos are the way to get attention. Wonder if sponsors are tracking how much screen time good or bad they are getting in these little dust ups.

[JR19]

That's the only argument that Bernie has, is that Caleb should've stopped by on day one to let him know he intended on fishing there day 2. Still no excuse for Bernie to cut in like he did though.

Bernie is siting top 5 after day 1 and someone comes up to him and says hey I found fish in practice and saw you on the spot day 1. I got a early boat draw day 2 and I plan on fishing it...I really wonder what Bernie has to say. It sounds good that Bernie says Caleb should have said something but if Caleb really did say something Bernie never said how he would address the situation.

Good news is there is another Elite Event this week. Will the Drama continue??. Keith is posting on Facebook calling guys Cry Babies. Getting to be a contest to see who can get the most coverage on Social Media.

Surely there will be something happen and until then there will be enough individuals creating a few three- five page threads of Speculative Drama over something trivial to fulfill that need.

Bernie was in the wrong. He can cry all he wants to via a letter to the editor, but Caleb has won a blue trophy, and Bernie never will.

Caleb pulls the same exact crap the Bernie does. Funny that when it happens to him he makes a post on social media, takes it down, and it ends up leading to the Bernie article

If Bernie was not in the wrong then what is he apologizing for? I don't know anything about Caleb, could have been anyone really, but I promise you, if it went down the way Bernie says, he would have been far more upset and there would be no apology.

He admitted his part in the situation that lead to the differences between him and Caleb. He admitted it could have and should have been handled different by both parties. You called him out as a cry baby and thats where some of us disagree.
