[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-06 AT 03:19PM (EST)[/font][p]the sport of bass fishing has not been ruined,IMO it is the strongest and most popular than ive ever seen it.ike is not the end of anything or the beggining just an angler that gets alot of cameras on him so you can see more behavior.popularity of this sport has brought bigger winnings and more sponsors than ever before,no one can complain about that...being a guy who is not hip hop,cool or DOWN wit it in any shape or form or nor to i care to be, i was reluctant to ike and the other new breed of fishing at first but hey entertainment is well..entertaining.i still like to see and respect the older more serious fisherman who like to keep to there selves but all in all where would tournament fishing be right now if it was always like that?back with low winnings and no popurlarity,maybe thats what some people want is to keep the fishing phenomeneom to there selfs,well its too late.dont be mad or sad just be glad someone cares enough to even be talking about this.go kentucky boys.
