Made a mistake by laying it on the deck and continuing to fish? Are you that dense or just a fanboy?

1 more page guys. then a thread where a kid caught and almost immediately released a share lunker

probably one of those two....or hes looking at a single frame of a 10 minute video and doesnt have a lot of context, and knows the propensity for some on the TFF to bitch regardless of the circumstances so gave Miliken the benefit of the doubt because of this. I mean hell....we are almost on page 10 of bitching on a thread about a kid who caught a share lunker and pretty much immediately released it. And people are still losing their [censored] 🤷‍♂️

China Junk in a pretty package?

You are right, I haven't seen the video and should not have jumped to conclusions based off of one screen grab. I should know better.

no youre 100% right!

Just trying to say not to jump on GBS too bad since he just saw the photo and knows how TFF feels about social media types.

he was being real [censored] and I was getting triggered myself watching it. His cameraman did grab it at one point but also just layed it back on the carpet. I was hoping that when the camera man picked it up he wouldve dunked it over the side....but nope. Let me tell you all what I know about Miliken....he really does seem to be abrasive at a minimum and a real prick at worst. I stopped following him because he would talk [censored] about stuff he didnt agree with and seemed to generally be a dick...but started following him again recently (well last winter) due to the haters bringing him the attention. Then I saw he was really on them and it was good fishing content....even if he was still a bit...himself.

Basically what Im trying to say....look at the thumbnail to todays video. Miliken is the type to hear the social media hate....and just troll and do things he know will trigger the haters. I do think he was tunnel visioned on the other bigger fish he saw on the panoptix....but he couldve easily just chucked the fish over the side and thrown at it after and it wouldve been a 3 second difference. But he didnt....i dont think he did it intenionally to troll...but I do know he does do things on purpose to piss people off. He'll even comment as he's doing it. So yea....the threads like this do more harm than good cuz Im of the opinion they kinda fuel him to troll cuz thats in his personality. I dont know him personally....but you do get some insights into personality types watching their videos....you can only fake it so much.

I understand, but I also understand that if it's a legal fish, then it is yours to do with it as you please. That's not my job to judge what others decide to do with their legal catch. I jumped the gun and was just pissed when I saw the pic.

However, if he acts like a douche just to get more likes or views, then I stand by my statement that he needs to be punched in the mouth. Probably by someone much younger than me that wouldn't have a heart attack after a 45 second fight.

Id have to say he likely does. He's not as bad as the regular/non fishing youtubers with their attention seeking....but he will do stuff like mishandle a bass (not terribly bad, but maybe toss a tiny over his shoulder like a douche), and then say something about how people wont like to see that. Then you see stuff like his thumbnail from today. So i dont think he is necessarily doing it for the views, i just think its his personality. you can even tell him and zark start getting tense with each other at the end of long road trips together....and thats why I think its just his personality type, cuz Zark is his boy/his day 1 type of homie. zark once drove like 2 hours in the middle of the night on a day he was working to go fix milikens truck busted on the side of the highway, and this was WAYYYY before he blew up last winter...so zark is really his true friend, and you can even see on some videos things seem tense between them. So I just really think Miliken is just "one of those dudes"

It's sad what this world has come to with likes, views, followers, etc. Trust me, I know. I have a 16 yr old son, a 13 yr old daughter a 12 yr old daughter and a 10 year old daughter. I expect them to act like idiots because they are kids, but for a grown man to act that way, yea, he needs his [censored] kicked.

No more of their product for me! Im done,the guy is a moron

I didn’t watch the video but maybe he was going to let it age a little before making fish taco’s out of it. Because that 8lb bass I made into fish taco’s out of ivie was not very good fish, but on the other hand that 8.5 out of Allen Henry was delicious!!!!!!

You from Louisiana?

No good Louisianan would ever let a fish get close to 8 pounds

I'll take all the deep divers from whoever is boy cotting.

Probably the same guys who claimed to not watch the NFL and not wear Nike.

Not a fan boy- but the guy has been wildly successful. Gets to fish for a living, has a share of 6th sense- looks like he is doing well. I wouldn’t do that to a fish- but if I did it would be well within my right.

I think they’ll be ok without your money.
