Hole Buzzards or Not?

Are these anglers what one would consider "Hole Buzzards" ?

Without context? Yes. With context? Possibly no.

Something tells me the second boat might not of known there was any tournaments this weekend.

the pro craft fish and ski with the same shorts Frank Talley was wearing?

IMO, a hole buzzard comes in after the angler leaves. These have rods out while the angler is fishing. These are a-holes.

Well I didn't know they were Frank the Tank fans. That may change my vote.

Looks like he lost his lower unit

Walmart Swim Trunks, $9.99

Lower than hole buzzards in my books!

Wait now, how the heck did you know what Frank Talley was wearing?

Now there’s 3 “Frank the tanks”?

Yeah Matt Arrey should have found his own fish instead of trying to steal the procraft's fish.

Is that fork?

It could be they were out on a day to enjoy family time and have no idea what bassmaster even is. I don't think they were too close.

If you have a bait caster, a Bro-Craft, those shorts and are under 50 years old, you 100% knew the BMC was happening on Ray Roberts.

If it was 2 boomers in a 15 foot lone star with a 18 HP tiller steer, sporting dickies coveralls, doodle socking the bushes with stink bait and drinking out of mason jar, I would say they possibly would not know...

If they trolled in after, then yes, and too close—trolling motor and pinging the area is disruptive.

The guy is a class act, he and his family stay at my house at Fork for Bass Fest and leave the place cleaner than when they got there.

This!

I wonder how many used the "Bent Pole" fish finder instead of the electronic versions?

No matter what you believe most people don’t follow bass . More than likely they were just fishing.
There are so many people on the water these days it’s a job just trying to stay away from other anglers.
The world don’t stop for bass tournaments just saying .

100% agree. If it wasn’t for forums, I would have no idea the classic was in DFW.

that and I find it sort of funny that when ole joe blow seems to get too close to someone the person complaining gets ragged on with "you don't own the lake", they have as much right as anyone as long as they maintain proper distance.

few yrs. ago I volunteered for the toyota classic on fork, when they were long lining in front of little caney. the pros were so close they were talking to ea. other in normal voices and there were probably 5-6 of them working it.
I doubt it matters much to them unless you are just a complete douche about it.

Did the Ranger not have any TX numbers ?

Douglas did you take this pic ?

Negative, it's been reported Dale Gribble might have taken it

The Ronan Farrow of Bass Fishing.

Not everyone follows the tournaments and could care less who fishes what or where. With the second pic you have no idea who was there first so now who is the hole buzzard or bent rod whatever.
