I’m glad you had a good experience. I don’t know the guy at all…like I mentioned, I don’t have a good reason for not liking him. Something about his demeanor that irks me for some reason. It’s a “get off my lawn” kinda thing I guess.
He’s obviously built a good business…there are a whole lotta YouTube guys vying for views and he’s getting them. I’ll give him credit for that.
The guys filming/producing shows or content that I’ve run into are generally pretty polite. The old IDO crew was nice when I ran into them on Pool 4 years ago too. We ran into Gillespie’s crew with a local down by Wabasha fishing a wingdam. We were calling it a day on a wingdam as they were coming out to fish it. We compared notes for a bit and that crew seemed nice.
More often than not, it’s the guides around here on the river that are the a**holes. Some of them are awesome, but there are a few that rub everyone the wrong way. There are 2 off the top of my head who I wouldn’t fish with for free.
