I'm not a Strader fan. First saw him on MLF and just seems like a clown. He's super negative when he's not catching fish on that show at least and complains and he's made comments about how he doesn't like MLF rules.
After watching this video it completely reinforces my disdain for him.
In general however and not picking solely on him, I'd absolutely like to see a bit more respect paid to lakes that these guys are traveling too, because, in my opinion it's the YEARS of good care of the fish the local fisherman put in, proper treatment and handling, that continue to create good fisheries that these big circuits WANT to come to. If us locals don't take care of our waters, then they won't have healthy fish to MISTREAT. So how about showing some respect to us locals.
