« on: October 30, 2014, 12:33:15 PM »

So this guy has come up in a few conversations on this site an others. Without saying to much outside the topic, take a look at his posts, comments, and general attitude. Tell me what you think?

I don't understand peoples need to saturate the social market with more and more redundant pages.

Narcissism or monetary gain I suspect.

Have a feeling the people in his videos didnt fully understand or were told something different then what he did.

The "stuck up kid" who's pic he has posted looks a lot like one of the (awesome) guys at Pacific Angler. I could see why he would not want to be in these videos.

X2 on seeing why the "stuck up kid" would not want to be in the video. 

If it is M_X from P.A. he's a great young guy who seems nothing but an ethical angler that I have overheard him trying to teach newbies in the shop how to properly fish who for obvious reasons would not want to be associated with the BB guy's video.

Good on you "Stuck up kid", stick to your good ethics

For a big guy like him to pick on a nice young guy half his size just for not wanting to be associated with him it shows the guys true colours

The worst part is, he thinks he is in the right.

Looks like he's edited out the "stuck up kid" part. Anyone have a link?

Also not very good fish handling technique

see 12:20 mark of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hirwKoM1_pY

he holds up a moldy old chinook hooked in the gut by the gills then carries it around while he adjusts the camera.

plus you gotta chuckle at his commentary on his foul-hooked spring :

"this was the biggest fish of the day... Another spring, had lots of fight in it... and it took me a few minutes to bring it in, but it was an enjoyable fight and this is what sportsfishing is all about."

Now that we are all on this topic...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JFKIKFkJ4A

Watch this video, specifically after about 3:40. It is of the guy filming his girlfriend cross the river in her track pants and shirt.

If it was up to her knees, whatever. Waist... yeah, maybe if the flow was about walking speed.

But up to her armpits in swift moving water? Come on!!! She wades across a swift moving section of the river and bails at about 4:22. During the time I spent watching this my jaw hit the floor and stayed there... I would never allow my worst enemy to attempt that.

That is ridiculously dangerous and could have ended terribly. There are always a few fishing-related deaths each year...
