You can't have a boat race without two boats. He could have just decided to cruise over there and if Lambert was there went to another spot. Evidently he would have stayed there if he wn the boat race or why race? Or he could have went in another direction. He let it get to him. If he does it for the love of fishing he could have just went fishing. With his knowledge he might have sacked 25+ elsewhere.

At this point he evidently decide it wasn't for him anymore. So he would take his toys and go home.

You have to lay a lot of wood flooring to make $125,000.

Yep

You can't have a race with two Rangers. Lol.

....and since this webisite welcomes opinions .....

I agree with the guy who said he acted childish (like a baby). If someone gets to a spot before you....simply move on. Don't sit there whining like a 4 yr old. Looks to me, that Lambert or whoever, was bigger and Haynes or whoever was acting like a jerk and realized that the bigger dude would kick his butt on the water and at the weigh in.

Haynes don't care about the money if you know the kinda guy he is.

Apparently it was a community hole as well. Can�t get upset at anything when you fish a community hole. I�m curious how he would�ve reacted if a couple locals were out there before him. Would he tell them to move because he is a tournament angler?

Regardless of situation, respect the event you registered for or don�t fish. I hate it when something like that happens to me because I won�t fish in crowds but I suck it up and find something else. Then I b*tch about it after like you�re supposed to. Lol

They will have a beer together Monday night.

He gone

X2

I woulda boatramped him!

Reminds me of Rojas getting beat to "his spot" a few years ago on the Sabine.

I really, really like both these guys. But, come on! Haynes looks bad; he acted poorly. And, don't try to excuse it as "old school." I am as old school as they get. This was fair and square. Lambert had as much right to that spot as Haynes. I regret that Haynes chose this hill to die on. I hope he reconsiders. I'd hate to see this be his ride into the sunset.

Big lake and guys bumper to bumper, I don't blame Haynes or Lambert. i have never fished for 100,000 dollars, I can tell you I have always been uncomfortable fishing around people. i have also felt like bass are doing different things on different parts of lakes that big

yep someone who never fished that creek the whole tournament some how fishes the leaders spot the final day...

So does Haynes walk away from a 100k flooring job cause another contractor is placing s bid or working next door!? That�s just bad business and no competitor or business man would do that. IMO it�s something bigger than he has a regular job and is old school. Old school guys dont give up. That�s for these gen x kids these days. Most of us fish tourney because we love to fish and we are competitive. Seems a little chicken [censored] to me. No way in hell im walking away from 100k if I�m in contention for the win. If he�s the �best� ledge guy then he should have more than 1 spot on Kentucky lake. Oh well I guess. Congrats to lambert for staying focused and not letting his head get in the way!!

That is never upheld. I was in the Open at Red River when Biffle didn't like the fishery so he pulled out just before the rules meeting and went to fish a Costa on his home lake instead. Nothing happened.
