Brian Latimer, good fisherman, entertaining youtuber.

honestly given how some of the Scott Martin crew acted on some of the youtube content I saw.... I would not want to be hanging around them. They looked like a bunch of azz-clowns at various times.

Even if it were, does that make him pick up and move to another place? But really isn't everything racist now, but i regress on that.
Has a word ever cut you, bruised you, broken any bones? Think about this, words only have power when you allow them to, other than that its just a word. It's either an opinion, an observation or a statement which can be either factual of false but non the less, words are just a vapor of wind that disperses as it goes further from your mouth, then it becomes nothing.
I like B-Lat but I really hope he did not give up on BASS and being an Elite angler over words. Maybe he just wanted to go back to where he did have his winning that $100,000 tournament a few years back. Nothing wrong in that. I was just curious as to why he was not fishing in any Bass Opens this year and trying to qualify for the Elite Series.

Scott has his moments as I'm sure most of those guys do. I can name off a bunch of guys just in and around me that think they are the next KVD and are as arrogant as any one in the world. Some how good local anglers do have an air about them. ( I'll never be that way, I can't for the life of me figure out where the fish are in a goldfish bowl)
Scott was born into fishing, had a dad that some consider the best BASS angler ever. I'm sure he has never had to scrap and beg for sponsors or money to participate in fishing. I do think he is a pretty good angler. He did go into the BASS Opens last year and qualify first year out. I think I know which You Tube video you are talking about when he called his non boater partner for the next day. You can take it either way.

Rumors, speculation, innuendo, WAGS, outrage, drama and faux outrage. This thread has it all.

Yea it does. Crazy. I guess we should speculate why Hallman and them arent hanging out this year? It cant be as simple as Scott is on the elites and they are on the opens.

Used to be a lot of if not all the Googan crew. Not sure if it's that way anymore.

Hallman, Upshaw, Pangrac and Castledine are all still hanging out trying to make the Elites. I think the only one that is not fishing all the Opens is Castledine. He said he only skipped this last Open because he had a chance to win his 4th AOY in the Toyota Series if he fished the event on Rayburn.

Rackley, Terkla, Barzacchini and Flair?

Castlerock going the MLF route? He will get pro circuit invite with that AOY, either remaining central open isn't until october and you miss one and you can't qualify so I would say he is out of the running for the elites next year.

Oh man did I fall in the WAG category....

Reach out to him on his social media stuff and ask him.

There was a racist accusation made on one of his social media platforms. I can't remember which one and it never mentioned any names. I don't think it is still up. It was very vague. Given the times we live in that's all I have to say about that topic.

These vague posts are a real bummer for a few reasons. 1. Just creates drama and speculation 2. without directly calling someone out you are possibly painting a whole bunch of people in a negative light for one or a few peoples actions 2. there can be some people unfairly caught in the crossfire.

This thread is kinda making it seem like scott martin and his crew/friends might be a racist bunch. Bummer thats the route it went. I know no one directly said that...but in a round about way thats what Im getting from this thread. I almost hope scott martin is racist because itd be very unfortunate to get labeled that if he wasnt....and labeling people as racist seems like the cool thing to do nowadays 🤷‍♂️

EDIT:
Im not condoning racism...my point is i hope there is fire for this smoke, because itd be very unfortunate if there wasnt.
