Wes and Gene are great guys. Yes, they are! I miss the crowd that was around when Monte Coon and I first started fishing the Wednesday night tournaments on Grapevine. Great bunch of guys!
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

Wes and Gene are great guys. I have fished against them for the past 4 years in multiple events. Last year while fishing the dam they saw my son and me killing them. They did not run over and start fishing but rather we passed each other as we were working the dam in different directions and they told my son they saw him catch that bigin and it had them worried. That meant allot to him and he still talks about it today. They ultimately won that day and we took second but it was a day for us to remember. I have also had experiences where they have shared information with me to help me become a better fisherman. I dont consider these acts to be rude in any way. People with 19 posts on the forum and don't use there real names, need to be careful making accusations about "sportsman" who have earned that title. Congrats guys on your big win. I couldn't agree more.

Those 2 guys are the most rude fisherman I have ever encountered. The fat one and the one with the white beard. Terrible sportsman! They pulled up on a deepwater spot I was fishing last summer at GV and literally almost threw in my boat. Youre calling them rude?? Wow welcome to the forum it's obvious youre new around here and probably won't last long but this is not the time or place for your 2 cents.... I've fished with and against those guys for years and they are extremely competitive but I have never seen them act in an unsportsmanlike manner. Either one of them would give you the shirt off their back...

wes and gene are some of the nicest tourny fisherman i know. during the grapevine series championship a couple years ago they were in second place on day two or leading. we were both fishing the dam. since they were way ahead of me every time they got close i would try to back out to let them keep going but they would not let me do it and would go around. by the end of the day there was still 30 minutes of fishing left and my cranking batterie was dead and i had no jumper cables. so i headed to katies wood on the power i had left in my trolling bateries. they saw what i was having to do when i was about a quarter of the way to the ramp stoped fishing and came over to me with jumper cables already im hand. they stoped fishing early for me when they were in contintion. i will never forget that! for someone to come on here and bad mouth them and not even know them geez! dont worry about it wes and gene your still tops in my book! congrats on the sack! maybe i will come out there this year and show yall how to really catch em!lol!

Maybe you are just pissed cause they have been whooping your arse on that lake! Maybe instead of trying to put them down, maybe you should just keep practicing and try to beat them. Like old Ric Flair said son, "You wanna be the man, whoooooooo, you gotta beat the man!"
