My hope is that I reach a much bigger audience than just the tff for both marketing purposes as well as helping others catch more and bigger fish. Bottom line about other guides being mad is if we happen to be fishing the same area or techniques which we all do out there, not many secrets on fork anymore, they get mad when I show it and let "their" information out. But really it isn't there's. None of these guides even the ones I call my friends help me catch fish. I've learned everything I know through my own work with very small exceptions to this. The one thing I put on here that somebody else showed me was s color on a bait. That's it! So as far as guides not liking my videos, maybe it's cause I get less than half the time on the water they do because of my other job and still manage to put folks on fish more consistently than some of them. I get one chance to film every week and I put out vids every week, so if you watch them you see my best and worst. How many of these ego centric [censored] holes that run around this lake mad st me for working extremely hard to build s business would have the balls to show their off days?!? Even the guys I like, most wouldn't do it. There are many good guys that guide and are outstanding st it, better than me I'm willing to admit. But less than a handful aren't total ego maniacs and overly paranoid about their fish, and their secrets. Secrets, on fork, lmfao. I kinda hope I get banned at this point, wonder why thrrr is less than s handful of Fork guides that post here with any regularity anymore. Now if you'll excuse me I have editing to do. Yes I'm still working, like I always am.

I'm not gonna read the rest of the comments after reading this one.

End of story. Well said, J.P.

Your plan is working. If I ever get around to hiring a guide, It'll be you or Greg West.

I met Greg on Athens and he put me on a pattern because I had my young son with me and we proceeded to probably catch his PB. He provided that info just to be nice and expected nothing. I'd hire you because of your online presence. After watching your videos it's clear you can fish, and you seem like a cool dude. Let the haters hate. Don't let them drag you down. Lastly, I watch your channel weekly trying to learn something new. Whether you get paid or not, thanks for taking the time to put out quality content.
