The guy caught catching fish out a submersed tote was doing it with DRAW partners on the back of his boat and won tournaments..

He was putting 4-5 fish in a big tote with a lid and slit in the lid and fishing in it until one bit or was snagged....

The grub needs to be a twin tail and hooks bigger....

His life is over. Might as well hang it up

I always wondered why he didn't come East and fish BASS or FLW or something. I guess we know now

And good gosh- he was hard on those big, fragile fish. I wonder how many big fish he killed unnecessarily

Remember the guy who tied a bass between two stumps with something like mono, then came back during the tournament with his draw partner in the boat, threw a rattletrap or crankbait rigged on braid between the stumps and ran it down the mono line until it got to the fish, set the hook, broke the mono, and reeled the bass into the boat? He was caught because someone saw the fish tied up the day before, alerted tournament officials, and they somehow marked the fish to see who brought it to the weigh-in.

The Mike Long story is incredible. What an absolute fraud and thief.

Here's the statement from the Airrus Rods website:

"Airrus Rods believed in Mike Long's legendary big bass catching ability, to the extent of creating a Signature Series of rods for him. We are utterly disappointed by Long's behavior, as showed on the SDFish.com video and article. We decided to cut ties with him and to donate all the remaining stock of his signature series rods to Samantha Gay's Fishers of Kids Anglers Academy, in her hands these rods will be used for the proper purposes"

They have already started stripping his lake records as of today per another site I�ve read

I remember hearing about that.

I hope they strip every record/mention of this chump from every thing ever affiliated with fishing ever.

Gonna be tricky with the lake records though. Is the lake now not going to have a record or are they going to have to remember back to that one time Bubba caught a biggin back in 96? Call him up....hey Bubba....member that biggin you caught back in 96?

You know to keep this kind of [censored] from happening again all us fisherman should donate to a fund to sue this scumbag for all the competitors he stole money from in each one of those tournaments. All the fisherman across the US could easily form a fund that would have this guy hiding under a rock.

Most Epic FB Post Ever

I commend your response and action and respect that. I will be more than willing to pay to donate a rod to said cause

Here's a blast from the past here in TX. Casey Allison asked me to take pictures at a JC Outdoors weigh in at Ray Hubbard. He was the TD that day. This is from March 2009. Here is the winning team. Robby Rose fished with his brother that day I believe. One and only time I set eyes on him in person. Sorry it's a little blurry. My camera was [censored].

You're welcome. Lol
