As a disabled vet and a avid fisherman, just want to put my two cents in the pot. First of all, he disgraced the sport IMO, there are a lot of guys/gals that wish they could be in the position he was that day, and you can bet your bottom dollar they would have handled it a lot different. I like the post where the gentleman states..he just grabbed the first thing he saw and took his anger out on it...so it just happened to be a American Flag. Thank god there wasnt a child close by. That flag means a lot to a whole bunch of us folks, and if it doesnt mean anything to you and if you think it should be disrepected, in any way, shape or fashion, you need to pack your bags and get out of Dodge. The guy is a punk, a spoled brat, who has been given a lot of coverage because of his actions in the past. Now his true colors have come thru. If you think he means a word of his apology you are sadly mistaken, I would assume that his lawyer drafted the apology for him. It is all about the money, he lost Ranger Boats, and no telling what else he will lose, hopefully all of his sponsors.
