I cant stand em! they are ruining this sport!

I learned so much from this video. So informative. Thanks for breaking it down. I'm super pumped and wanna make a video now. Does it matter what kind of drone to use for fly overs?

You forgot that you have to have a cool tagline, "Keep Stopping. Never Fish"...oh, and you have to fist bump the camera every now and then too.

damn I missed that! Catch phrases are key!

I think most of the guys on this forum just have a problem with the people that do nothing but post their own videos. They're treating the bass fishing section like their own personal advertising board. On the other hand, I don't think there's a problem with regular members that actually contribute and post things besides their videos uploading stuff. This was the exact reason lunkerstv was run off, because all he did was spam his videos and acted like an idiot on the water.

That's also why you don't usually get negative feedback on your posts NTX.

Instead of bashing someone for being successful why doesn't this forum or group of pros help one of their fellow fisherman in need?

Those damn youtubers

http://bit.ly/HelpAlisha

i think most of the people here complaining haven't adapted to the social media world/internet. I've taught myself to fish by using the resources available here..... Including videos and youtube

Hahaha. Obviously some youtubers will be more successful than others just a fact of life.

Like your channel but you and Justin should be more transparent about paid promotions.

Lunkers, I like your channel....Like NTX Bank Fishing, just being a little tongue in cheek...hence the twist on Jon B's catch phrase.

Most weekend fishermen go fishing to get away from their jobs and go relax. They are not wanting to go and start a second job of helping other learn to fish, this isn't to say on a given day they won't give out a pointer or two to someone needing help. The video thing on here start by people giving their honest opinion about some of the videos and that they need to be put in the video section and not in the bass section. I guess if you want to spend your life teaching great their is a need and you are more then welcome to do that just please put your videos in the right section its called videos and photos.

Agree! That guy Mark who posts the links to the Honey Hole videos is a major offender of this rule. That's the show with the corny catchphrase "Put me on the cover!"

Of course I'm joking. Posts that don't get responses fall off the first page pretty quickly. They'll fall off even quicker if you start your own thread about bass fishing. The guys who make the good videos should be encouraged.

Some folks need to get a life! It really burns a lot of energy to scroll past a thread I'm not interested in and move on to one I am. It takes more energy to [censored] and moan because someone posted a bass fishing video in what u think is the wrong section. I think it's in the the right section. I love the videos posted for entertainment and to learn. Hats off to Lunkers, Billy Lawson, Lake Fork guy and others for taking the time to film, edit and post their videos. If they're getting paid for their work then I say "Hell ya"! Keep up the great work and I hope to run into y'all someday on the water.

To Texas Rigged Senko..I didn't reply correctly

If I am paid to promote you will see it stated in the video in the first 30 seconds. The FTC is very strict with paid promotion. Also it'll be in the description so if you think I'm promoting something just look in the description and it'll say that this video was paid promotion. If it's not down there it's my honest opinion on something. I don't do much paid promotion so hope that clears it up for you.

Keep doing what you are doing - I've personally enjoyed the videos from you guys. The new Googan Squad house should bring some really cool stuff for 2017.

This will be an interesting thread...

Like Billy's videos. Gives me a little "heads-up" the few times a year I get to fish Fork. Some I don't enjoy, so I just don't click on those. Pretty simple IMO

Idiot on the water? Is this the same LunkersTV in the pink boat that towed in a stranded/broke down bass boat with 2 older guys in it?

I saw numerous boats fly past the stranded boat as they were waving at boats flying by and LunkersTV went out and towed them back to the dock.

People leave because of the negativity. Look in the post that started all this. Someone actually made fun of the fact that the OP has an older trolling motor with some play in it. We can't all be millionaires and win every tournament we fish while rolling in a new ranger z21. People are just hateful and it's sad.

If you are going to post a video with your girlfriend in it, rule #1 is that she MUST be in a bikini!!! It's state law!!

X2

Its hard to appreciate what they do until you have done it yourself. I use to film all my hunts long before You Tube or Go Pros came along. It aint easy getting good footage! Then you have to sit down and review and edit which was very time consuming!!! I am sure with all the new software available its a bit easier now than it was back when I was doing it but I am sure its still not a easy task. The fact that some of these guys can keep me entertained with their fishing videos despite the fact I am probably close to twice their age says a lot for the quality of their work in my opinion.

Eh..if ya like 'em....watch 'em. If ya don't....then don't.

Easy enough.

Seems easy enough..

Completely agree with you! This forum and more importantly videos on youtube have helped me learn so much about fishing. I want to be able to see something that is being explained on rig set up and how to properly rig baits.

Good on you man, everyone I've talked to that knows him has nothing but good stuff to say! I'm glad you are helping him and his wife out! Let me know if I can help in any way.

Let me tell you guys how sorry this lunkerstv is! First he served his country honorably in a very high capacity at a time of war. Then he helped grow a business and made a little money. Now he's doing something he really lives and growing another business at that. He helps a lot of folks along the way, from simple things like giving a tow, to loaning his boat to a college team in need. And now at my families greatest time of need he has used the platform he has created through an immense amount of hard work to help generate funds to help our family! Including donating money himself! I'm very proud to consider him a friend and really look forward to seeing what he can do for the fishing industry in the next few years. He's done all this at the age of 27 btw!

Seriously Lunkers I can't thank y'all enough. The rest of the googans he runs with are pretty good folks too from my experience.

I dunno, it sure seems to take a lot of physical and mental energy to click the mouse and move on.

Good cause, let's fire up the donations, give what you can to help out.

Sad thing is these guys that are bashing him don't want to hear the good only the bad, from what I've seen he's a stand up guy and I hope he continues to be successful.

Glad LunkersTV stepped up to use his platform to help you Billy. Godspeed to you and your family!

I just looked over LunkersTV old posts. 85-90% of the comments are nothing but praise. That's pretty good numbers for a public forum full of ego infused bass anglers. I'm not sure how anyone could say he got a bad wrap here other than one post with some negativity.

Billy and lunkers do vid's together ? Correct.
And on this he served, or didn't serve is a play.. Don't do that, in my opinion it has nothing to do with the subject..

Easy to say don't do that on the did he serve or not serve, I tend to give credit and acknowledgement where it is deserved. If you give your safety and freedom in order for me to have safety and freedom you tend to get more of my appreciation and respect. God bless our veterans.

Yep...they get praise for serving. Can't believe that's getting questioned on this forum. Some people don't realize what it means for these guys to "serve"

As far as the topic goes, there are you tubers that I like and ones I don't. It's not a personal thing, it's not a generational thing, it's not a jealousy thing. I like the informative videos. All of them have some form of decent content, but not all are going to be everyone's cup of tea. Billy is probably the most informative, followed by Justin and Lunkers. There are some I think are funny and some I think are annoying. We don't go around eating BBQ Pringles and bash everyone who like Cool Ranch Doritos. So why do it about an Internet video? Watch what you like and don't watch what you don't. Having a grudge against, judging, or attacking someone you don't know at all because you don't like their 13 minute fishing video is beyond idiotic.

And I agree with Red Skeeter on the service point of view. While I thank him for his service and it's awesome, it has no context or relevance in relation to how people should view his videos.It reflects, as Billy said, his character and the type of person he is without a doubt and that I think is without question. I don't think Red was questioning him getting praise for his service in anyway.

Ryan, I agree wth you in the first part...but HIGHLY disagree on the second. You're a vet....so I understand why you would say that. People not only love, but highly support veterans. A veteran owned business should get the attention it deserves, and I think an overwhelming majority of people would agree.

And I'll add that everything said about Lawson and Lunkers military experience goes to character reference.

There are a lot of veterans on this forum that never go on about their service record. Combat, when it is up front and personal is a terrible thing. There are those that never forget it. Out of respect for the ones that didn't come back, we choose not to go on about it, and try our best to stow it away. We fish because we love it and it clears the mind.
I don't agree with anyone trading on their service record to get ahead in life. Their story becomes about them and not the guys they served with. One of his videos is even about" My first Kill"
My advise to the offender is to forget your service record, don't talk about it anymore. Just put it away and you will do a lot better.
This post may get me banned from the forum. I don't really care.
You guys take care out there

again, these guys were praised by other for their service and praised for character. Nothing else.

Let me take a step back and say this, I do not, for one, think that RedSkeeter was downplaying or discrediting anyone's service. If it was taken that way, that was not my intentions. I don't know him personally, but I know him through others and on this forum and I do not for one second think that he does not support our troops and that he is not a patriot

That's my last comment on this subject. This is WAY off topic.

I know the video you are talking about because I just happened to see it in the last few days. I thought it was a very interesting video of what being in the middle of a fire fight is all about. Never once did I feel like it was just him bragging about killing someone. Im sure he made some money off that video because if I remember correctly it had about 2 million views but as far as I am concerned he more than earned that money by being there and living to tell about it. That video was also part of a special military spot light thing he does every so often too so it really wasn't something that was just thrown out there out of the clear blue.

Some people do better by keeping their bad memories of being in the military to themselves and some do better by talking about it. Everyone is different.

Yes some people will use their service to get ahead as well. I see it all the time on THF when people are looking or hunts or leases and they have to toss in that they are military or law enforcement to try to gain a edge on everyone else looking for the same thing. In those situations I feel its tacky. Of the fishing videos I have seen where the military service is brought up I haven't seen it really used as leverage to get ahead though.

There is a video section

Awesome video man! So dope, so dope!

Has to be one of the best thumbnails ever, haha. Reminds me of a 1rod1reel thumb.

Why is post even in the bass section not one time has any bass fishing information been talked about...... This bass section is going down hill.. come on JP

I guess you never watched a fishing show on TV. The entire show is a paid promotion. Including Honey Hole. I love watching all the shows for entertainment and realize these guys can't do all of this for free. However I have actually learned a lot from watching some of these shows and videos. If you don't like it then don't watch it.

Fair compromise with the video icon. Scroll past if you don't like videos. Works for me as is.

I agree. Can't believe everyone getting butthurt over videos. Well, now there is an icon too. Should be fairly simple. Watch or don't watch. These videos don't hurt this section, imo. In the bigger picture, these videos really only account for a small percentage of traffic.
