I mean it's the same replies over and over and over haha

You complain about everyone making the same reply but you keep bumping these post to the top. On purpose!
You are the kids in the hall screaming fight.
You are a troll.
Matter of fact you are the troll champion.

You seem to be a pretty good ole boy, almost certain it was you that won a boat on Hubbard Creek a few years back, let me ask you a hypothetical, say that boat certificate you won was not able to be redeemed, so you call the tournament director and ask what the deal is, the tournament director tells you " well the boat company is supposed to give you the boat, maybe in 2 or 3 months they will make good on the deal " how would you feel about that or what would you do ? Who would you hold responsible ? The tournament trail or the boat manufacturer ? I am sure Gordon is a good guy, I have fished many of their tournies, never had a problem ( well there was a plaque deal that was messed up ). There has been some piling on here, but the bottom line is Gordon could have and should have nipped this in the bud the very day he learned about it, that is what 90 % of the posters are saying. To let 3000 dollars possibly wreck a business is asinine. This will not keep me from fishing a Media event, I just hope there are still some to fish.

I guess no one can answer the question.

Funny you should go there. I fished a tourney at PK in 1984 I think that had a new Skeeter boat and trailer as 1st place. I won. After weigh in the guy putting on the tournament pulled me to the side and quietly told me that he messed up and didn�t put that the boat was based on 200 entry�s on the tournament flyer. I got 2k . I was really mad. I also worked in the biggest tackle shop and boat dealer in the state so I had a pretty good platform to talk from. After some thought I figured that the only thing I would accomplish would be to possibly ruin a mans business and I still wouldn�t have a boat. So I just sulked around for a few days and went on.
As far as this deal, yes it sucks but Gordon has told the guys he is working on it and will eventually get them taken care of. What has happened to giving the guy the benifit is the doubt? Gordon doesn�t have any type of reputation of ripping people off and he has been running Media for 20 years. The very few guys in the past that had a problem all got taken care of.
Gordon doesn�t want this to happen and from what I know of him he is not a liar. If his lawyer told him he had to wait that is case I�m am sure. I�ll bet just about anyone that hires a lawyer on something listens to him. Why else hire a lawyer. Don�t forget he got ripped off also.
I am a small business owner and I know a lot of other members are. Most of us would be lying if we said we never have gotten into a business situation that forced us to make someone hang on until we got a problem worked out. I am thankful that when that has happened to me my customers gave me the benifit of the doubt and bore with me as long as I stayed in touch. I can�t imagine one going into the internet or writing all of my other customers and bashing me before I could make good. If I said I would make good on the deal like Gordon has. It is easy for all of us to say � if it was my business I would have paid as soon as the guy called� but this is t happening to you guys so it is just talk. Give the guy a chance.
The internet is a powerful tool that can hurt a business or product. Like many other threads I read everyone on here is piling on in a matter that doesn�t have any effect on them. You aren�t helping the OP out any he is going to get paid either way. But you might run a guy that has had a 20 year business out by piling on. Again over 3000.00 that has zero effect on you. A guy that has been around longer than any Trail I can think of and hundreds of us have enjoyed the competition and his tournaments. I guess it makes some people proud that they might have the power via the keyboard to hurt someone.
Your right happy camper, I am a good old boy that always gives a guy the time to make his word good.
I know Gordon will make good on this and I hope the people that have enjoyed fishing his events in the past keep it up. He has always offered the weekend guy an affordable opportunity to fish competitively.
I�m out on this thread and I know Imwont change many minds but I hope for all your sake if you ever find yourself in these shoes you fare better than Gordon has. Peace out

Thought I would toss this out there for everyone to read. This is a class guy it seems.
