Buzz, what's with all the anger? You sure are quick to tantrums when you're opinion is not in the majority. It's okay to have a different opinion than others without losing your temper and going on the "another whining thread" or "useless flameout" rant. I didn't see a single person pigeon hole you as an ESPN undercover agent or label you in any way. You obviously care deeply for the sport and it's future, but it's going to be hard to sway people's opinion by force. Lighten up, you don't have to choke slam someone for joking or disagreeing.
On the BASS/ESPN subject. Bassmaster ragazine and B.A.S.S. has been about little else but selling boats and products for a long time. That's just the way it is.
I don't dislike Ike, Swindle or any of the brash youngsters, in fact they're pretty entertaining. My concern is if they're the future, where does it go from here? When the loud antics get old what do they do next? What does the next young guy coming up figure he's going to have to do to stand out and get attention? Now it could be, and hopefully will pan out that there's plenty of room for the more quiet Aaron Martens types and the Ikes of the fishing world too. I'm not real tore up about it either way, because all the pros and most of us wannabes across the spectrum support youth and conservation efforts.
