Thats a good one. I still crack up knowing that people pay money to have a jersey and represent companies that give them 10-15 percent off. YOu want me to wear your logos? How bout ya pay me.

that stuff used to bug me but it doesn't get to me anymore. What does though, is when people put on their jersey, and then want a picture of their one two pound fish that got them third to last place, and then mail it to their sponsor.

What is wrong with a guy wanting to show support for a company that is making things easier for him? Heck, I dont wear a jersey, dont have a wrapped boat, or a power pole!This is only my second year to fish tournaments. You know not everyone is blessed to "do it on his own". So why don't all of the "big shots" worry about themselves? If someone wants to give me a discount to use their product, sure I will express my gratitude and use what i have as a billboard. Just remember, if you were all as good as you think you were, you would be fishing the "ELITE" series and not your club/amature tournaments. I know this is just poking fun, I laughed myself. But come on guys, we are out there to fish and have fun, not make fun of the little guy.

I pro staff for a few companies and wear a jersey and still thought it was hilarious. Now I have a little bit better deal worked out with a few of them but its all good. It was hilarious. and yes I am a faker. the first step is admitting you have a problem.

"fake it until you make it"
