Do you feel like TFF members voted you the winner Sethmac?

Don't cry foul over a successful campaign. If Sethmac had the support because of who he is and his friends voted for his video for him then so be it. Happy Fishing and tight lines to all! I have no dog in this fight but Contest closes today. We will add the poll tomorrow or the next day. DO NOT solicit votes please.

Do you feel like TFF members voted you the winner Sethmac? Hi J.P, I've been completely forthcoming as soon as I saw the negative message. As far as I know, you have to join the forum to vote...past that I don't know how to determine what member's vote should count, and what member's vote shouldn't. I was obviously helped by publicizing my video as I didn't know it was a rule. I don't know if anyone else had friends vote for them or if they were just people who stumbled across the thread. Wasn't my place to scrutinize. I had no intent to mess up your contest and will gladly do without the rod.

It's up to you Sethmac. If you feel you won the rod fairly and within the stated rules, then it's yours. We can't get in your head and you are the only one who knows whether or not you were soliciting votes.
If you won the rod, PM Stan Browning and he will send it to you.

This was never a video contest. Anyone with half a brain knew this would be a popularity contest. You really think most of the people who voted watched every video before voting? I didn't watch most of them all the way through but only the first part unless it kept my interest. Sometimes watching somebody fish is like watching paint dry.. It might have been better if you could not vote for your own video.. but then I would have gotten 0 votes and had my feelings hurt too  quick somebody call the whaabulance

Man, I'm just disappointed that sub 2 minute video didn't even get one vote from anybody else. What do I need to change? The production quality wasn't any worse than the guy that won. I hoped that at least one other person enjoyed the highlights.

I'm guessing a majority of my votes came from my wife's desire to help me win a rod. She is due any day now with our first child (and the 1st grandchild), so you can imagine people are stopping by and watching online for updates constantly. We just linked to the contest since I don't think Ill be buying a rod anytime soon. Am I missing something? The rod is not important enough to watch someone debate this thing like the "hanging chads" of 2000. Its not worth the headache to me, especially with the other things going on right now...
So if that's where the majority of the votes came from... Did the minority of them come from here?? http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=174432I wasn't going to post this link here but I don't believe you are being honest about not knowing the rules. You bumped your own thread on TKF several times all the way up to Jan 29th. I'll admit I asked one person to vote for me before the pole/no soliciting rules were posted, once they were posted I didn't promote it any further.
