Why don’t you ask the anglers? It’s their business decision. You’re crying about it because they haven’t made the decision you want them to or that you think makes sense. Your hatred of MLF - for whatever reason, but it clearly is personal - is blinding you.

But what provokes you to come on here and tell me, or anyone for that matter that they don’t belong here and what I or they may write is prohibitive speech? You seem to be offended that I take a position about a certain group of what I firmly believe are shysters, and point out all of their contradictions, hypocrisy, and shadiness; and challenge those who seem to blindly come running to that organizations defense, like they are entitled to be shady without others pointing it out or be criticized.

So what makes you (and others) the keeper and protector of MLF’s public image? It seems there is a concerted effort here to keep information that does not reflect well on MLF or those who are part of that organization, limited or obscured so others may not be informed or be able to think for themselves. The recent post that highlighted some of the recent going on regarding the majority owner of MLF, which was entirely removed is a perfect example. It’s almost as if there is a group of people around here that do not want that type of information being widely distributed or discussed. It’s not like the info I posted about Kroenke isn’t widely available in other sources, so the purpose of suppressing it here is confusing, but revealing to say the least.

As several have pointed out, it’s really simple to just not read or participate in any thread I might start, but for some reason people just can’t control their impulses and have to start barking about what the message is about or says without being able to refute or provide something that dispels something I have written or opined on. Instead they just complain.

Lol, you talking about impulse control... that's rich.

I’ve asked this before, but will repeat it. Just what would that change? Would it make anything I say or write less true or more true? I see you as duck_hunter... other than being able to identify the origin of a posting it means nothing to me. I base and respond to a post or message on it’s merits and relevance, and it matters not who is really behind the duck_hunter persona. You could be B. Duckett himself, and I would say the same thing, it matters not... so again, your hang up seem to be I don’t use a real name or something as if that is what you use to determine validity or credibility of any given statement. Is that the standard that should be applied to your postings too?

What makes you think some haven’t already spoken about it, privately? But glad you seemingly now acknowledge it is the business decision of the angler, and not MLF. If that’s the case, then why did MLF ignore the anglers when they voted against the idea 2x? Isn’t them doing do and putting out a press release saying 50 of the BPT anglers would be joining? That’s almost as if that was intended to intimidate the anglers into joining those tournaments, despite what they voted against.

I’ve asked this before, but will repeat it. Just what would that change? Would it make anything I say or write less true or more true?


It would not make anything more or less true but it would give some validation especially to the unsubstantiated or opinionated posts. You clearly speak as if you’re an insider. I don’t care if you do or you don’t reveal but my question would be “what have you got to lose if you did?” The next one would be “are you willing to risk that loss?” If the answer is no to the second question you should probably just stop because without validation you will never change people’s opinions on this whole subject. The status quo will never change. There is a clear set of lines drawn with your posts in regards to the other posters. You have not changed anybody’s minds one way or the other. Don’t try saying you are getting the info out for people to form their own opinions. You clearly have an agenda of trying to expose something real or not to your way of thinking.
Don’t quit posting though. There is entertainment in them and maybe that’s your goal here. At least until you get banned which is almost inevitable it would seem but that would be a shame also.

It’s both. It’s a business decision for both the angler and MLF. How is this not clear to you? Again, because you want MLF to fail so badly, you continue to pick and choose whatever argument you think supports your opinion that MLF (and sometimes the MLF anglers) are liars, cheaters, thieves and whatever other disparaging remarks you can think of.

What makes me think they haven’t spoken about it privately? I don't think that. I don’t have an opinion on it or any waY of knowing that. I don’t even care about that.

It would change everything. If you’re a professional angler in the BASS or FLW ecosystems, it would change the way you’re perceived in those organizations, due to the disparaging remarks you’ve made about others in the bass fishing world. It would (or maybe not) lend credence to your postings about this topic (the only topic you spend time posting about). It may or may not validate some of the things you say here, which otherwise have no validity and appear to be you throwing mud against a wall to see what sticks.

Using me as an example is ridiculous. I’m not on this forum for the sole purpose of trash talking an organization that I clearly have some sort of affiliation with (whether I or someone close to me was spurned by it).. I joined the forum to learn and talk about fishing. You joined it to talk trash about MLF and stir the pot anonymously.

If it wouldn’t change anything, in your opinion, then there is no reason to stay anonymous. In fact, it would validate some of the information you claim is true but unverifiable. But, like I said, you’re in too deep to come out now, because I suspect it would impact your career. And if you really are just a fan and not somehow connected to one of the tours, then you’re just a troll. Either way, you lack integrity, which is how we started down this ridiculous rabbit hole.

He doesn't contribute to the forum, it just became his soapbox to spread his hate. I don't think that I have ever seen anyone get suspended so fast on this site. When he gets suspended the forum goes back to normal and we get actual fishing discussions. I am looking forward to the next ban so it will last longer and we can get rid of the troll or move this to another section of the forum. It's a waste of ban width

Hey so are you going to get busy with your new promotion, and we won’t get to see any more posts from you, or you going to keep rolling on? Your pretty much solidified in the industry now, going the non fishing route so who cares. I’ll
miss talking to you in the weigh in lines. ❤️

Seriously man, how does anything that he post keep you or anyone else from discussing fishing. You guys are about the biggest fricking titty babies that I have ever seen.

Ya that makes zero sense. If you hate his post or discussions why do you even click on them or read them?? Just read the ones about fishing that interest you. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Normal like. Are the ramps open ?, Braid or mono ? , What’s the best boat ?..... etc...
