Well, not that I know a lot about Ike or even past anglers who've been DQ'ed for their actions... but how in the heck can anyone who has the opportunity to fish (or play football, basketball, baseball and so on) for a living - doing something you have fun doing - and make money doing it (I'd do it for the gear alone if I were any good!) - make such a lame mistake to lose their sponsor ($$$) I'll never understand. It's not just bass fishing obviously, but how these people could screw up such a good thing that most anyone else would never take for granted blows my mind.
