For all of us that are catching this today, none of the links are working. Did anyone screen shot the write ups? I just read the article. The link works. Slowly.

Will Dobyns Rods exchange my 784 and 795 that have Mike Long's signature on it, for a few without? Or, at least have John Kerr sign them instead? Dobyns is a TX company now right?
If this is all true, what a messy situation.
I've obviously never caught any fish close to 20 pound mark, but I have caught some nice fish, and I am proud to say they were all caught offshore in the winter, but I caught them all on Mike Long's signature jig rod!
Can someone chime in on what Mike Long's relationship with Dobyn's rods has been like?
From what I read on his FB page (before he took it down) he is now (or was, by now who knows?) repping Airrus Rods, apparently for some time

I thought I read years ago that he somehow had gotten special access to public waters that others couldn't get (not sure if I remember that correctly or not... edit...got to that point in the article after posting), so I've always out an asterisks next to his accomplishments in my mind. That said if this is all true then he is the Lance Armstrong of Bass Fishing....

On one lake he had full access, then used bass he caught there on live illegal bait in a tournament on a different lake.

I feel like I'm pretty plugged into bass fishing and I've never heard anything like this. How has he been banned from tournaments for 10 years and that news never hit this forum?

Who had the time, desire and obvious hatred to spend the hours of investigative reporting to do all this videoing and what is their motive? Regardless though they uncovered a lier, cheat and a thief because thats what someone is who deceives for artificial fame and whatever personal profit came from selling your name for rods, lures...

My guess being the moderator of said blog past supporter of his and fan he want clear his name and disassociate himself. I sure he felt betrayed. He actually did what reporters/writers should do investigate for the truth
