    Welp… this is interesting. As someone who grew up reading articles about Long catching monster bass and dreaming of going to California bass fishing… its pretty disappointing to read this. Its long but worthwhile.

    Read the main article about it a couple days ago. Very interesting. Tried to be open minded about it, but the video is hard to ignore. The amount of allegations add up, even if there’s some axe grinding going on. Put yourself in the public eye like that, you darn sure better have your crap ironed out and together. Seems like there’s definitely a pattern there and a lot of cabbage was at stake, combined with a big ego is a recipe for some shady behavior. He’s not the only one doing that kind of stuff, and it’s sad to see no matter who it is.

    Guys like him can’t resist the temptations of
    Greed and self promotion.

    Very sad.

    I read an article, not sure if it is the one posted. I thought it was funny when someone said he wasn’t even a good caster.
