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.
