Let me first say I support the troops 100%.But I think the flag waving and hype around the Armed Sevice boat of Mike Renolds was a little over the top. Glad to see him do well but I grew weary of the flag waving spectater boat we had to see every time he caught a fish.

I agree, Go ahead and mention it once or twice, but it was every 2 seconds! It was alot like those that self promote their own products on this site–every where you look-there it is. Just gets tiring.

I thought it was great to see some people with respect and support for our country.BomberAPosts: 649March 20, 2006 at 5:12 pm #431593It does seem repetitive, like a person who constantly complains about a website and it’s content yet comes back everyday to remind everyone how much he doesn’t like it.
Isn’t that right Ben?
March 20, 2006 at 5:18 pm #431595Joe? guess again. everyday? guess again. whatever. The site is there toshare opinions, tips, and techniques, right? That’s what I did. holy cow, that only took two weeks!
March 20, 2006 at 5:25 pm #431597Bomber-
I don’t understand why everything has to get heated anymore
March 20, 2006 at 5:34 pm #431599Seems like every post I read on here lately has turned into a brawl I think we all just need to go out fishing for a couple days to take the edge off
As for the flag waving I think it was ridiculous how he over dramatized his support for the troops. I think its a sad attempt to get air time.
And no this doesn’t mean I dont support our country.
March 20, 2006 at 5:41 pm #431596I wasn’t saying anybody on here doesn’t support or respect our country..I want to believe that everybody on this site does..But, there are a lot of people that don’t and its nice to see a person that loves his country. He didn’t get anymore air time than ish monroe did he? I didn’t think so. Oh, and about covering up Ike’s behavior…I think people need to get over this! I watched KVD throw a quantum energy spinning reel into the water after loosing a big fish at the boat..nobody demanded a disqualification for him Greg Hackney used profanity, nobody jumped on his back and i watched Ish Monroe do a number on a couple rods and jumped on his motor, but nobody said anything about this either.
March 20, 2006 at 6:05 pm #431601Thats a good point Cade, I think Ike got the raw end of that deal, but thats just one mans opinion.
As far as recieving to much air time for the flag waving goes, I think that they could have focused more on his fishing techniques than his fan club.
March 20, 2006 at 6:23 pm #431607I agree with that..I just don’t that waving a flag could possibly be “sickning” or “tiring” as it was stated before.you are right they should have covered his fishing more but i still think it was a nice tribute to our troops.
March 20, 2006 at 6:54 pm #431611WOW!!!!!!!!!!!Congrats Cade, don’t take offense with this, it’s just a saying, but….. OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES
March 20, 2006 at 7:53 pm #431623I think it was a little over board. But. Without the support for our country and the people protecting it, there would be no IDA or freedom!!! KVD showed a very poor display of emotion when throwing his rod in the water and Hack using poor judgement of works. Hack did appologize for his mouth. I liked seeing the support though.
March 20, 2006 at 9:08 pm #431644Maybe everyone just needs to have a jag bomb tonight at around 750 or so. I know Bomber is in!
brovarneyPosts: 662shimanonutPosts: 39March 20, 2006 at 10:30 pm #431677I had a little different take, I felt it was an attempt to NOT show the other wraps. I am not really sure, what does Ish’s wrap look like? How about Roumbanis (spelling?)? The only ones I saw were Hackney, Oh by the way Toyota sponsors the tour, and KVD, OH that is right Bass Pro is a major sponsor as well. I felt the Flag wrap was really cool but was over done in an attempt to not show other wraps that go against the main sponsors. What was the point to making them wrap the boats if you aren’t going to let me see them?
March 20, 2006 at 10:35 pm #431678I agree Shimanonut…good points….
If you go back to the classic, Clausen was only on their homepage a week b4 taking him down. Why? b/c he’s not a BASS posterboy like KVD. FLW had him up on the classic win for almost 3 weeks.
It continues today with the things you just mentioned…What will it take to end?
March 20, 2006 at 11:30 pm #431701Not many of you can beat me to the Right, and that was not the point of my post.I didnt really think of other events like Ike. I just thought it was overplayed.I do compliment the guys on this board for conservative beliefs that have been displayed in these forums. Of course there are a few black sheep amoung us but it is not too late to repent and come to the light(or Right).
March 21, 2006 at 12:37 am #431733it seems all this place is a bunch of posts complaining about something…man… i think everyone needs to just go fishing….it will relieve a lot of stress.
March 21, 2006 at 11:10 pm #432005I am not complaining if you were directing that at me eWalter. I think we all have a right to voice ones opinion. I am not the kind of guy to be rude so I will leave it as is.
March 21, 2006 at 11:42 pm #432010dont take that the wrong way….i am not pointing fingers at anyone! i have just pointed it out, i have complained myself, i just think we need to stick to fishing.
