I have a guide friend that told me if one wants to be a fishing guide, a good concrete start is a couple of felony convictions on your record

I hit the highlights. All I heard were excuses and him talking chit about some of the biggest names in fishing while playing the vet card over and over. I couldn’t believe the trash he was talking about Lee. Better than I could do! I’m not giving the guy 53 minutes of my own time

I was one of the ones who dog-piled the guy on the first thread. Yes, he has done more than his fair share to deserve criticism. Do I like the guy, no, not at all. But the fact is we have all done things we regret. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. As others have said, just let it go and move on. I opened the video, and then after a few seconds realized it was 53 minutes long and said "nope!" and shut it down. Can't listen to that dude for 53 minutes, much less 3. Just move on, he just wants attention.

it all comes down to DRINKING IN EXCESS!
Some people think they can handle it. Obviously, he cannot..

Everyone is guilty of making a bad decision some time in their life. I certainly wouldn’t have made that video. I know him personally, but it’s many years since we have spoke. That said, he pi$$ed a lot of folks off lately and I am sure his lawyer loved him doing this. I wish him the best & thank him for his service. I just would have handled way differently.

What I was thinking when I saw it is I bet his lawyer was thrilled and I be the DA was even more thrilled. Its just all about the clicks and to be honest it got mine soooooo

Shut it down everybody makes mistakes Do you not like people expressing their opinion? You don't have to read it. There are opinions and then there is libel, the last thread had such.

My opinion & $3 will buy you a cuppa coffee (used to be .99 cents) but IMO the best way to make this go away is to shut up and stop talking about it. Making a video and naming folks will only exacerbate the problem and add fuel to the fire.  You are clearly smarter than he is

Adding fuel to the fire means more clicks which equals more $$$$. I won’t click on the video or go to the guys page…appreciate some of y’all summarizing! I needed a good laugh this morning.

I’ve only seen a few of his videos and he admitted “that controversy followed him”, well there’s a pretty apparent reason why that is. The ol’ I’m the victim card is weak and he deserves what he gets.

Where can I go to find out what all this is about? Watching the video now and he talks about being refused service at a country club and handling it correctly.
Jumped around some, saw where he talked about the baits but he was still throwing love @ 6th sense talking about how good their baits still are.

Someone I spoke with who was actually there said someone in his party was wasted after playing golf, they went in to drink more and were refused service because they were obviously drunk as heck. He said if they wouldn't serve a vet they didn't deserve to hang a picture of a vet (Kris Kyle) on their wall, so he ripped it off the wall and walked off with it. I appreciate all who served but the ones I know personally don't act like that and throw it around and ask for special treatment. A few guys I know who served and know him and cant stand him and they hate that his behavior gives them a bad name. Guy is DB, plain and simple.
