Bone heads following the pros on KY

[rbcrawdaddy]

I agree about letting the pro`s have thier space. Some pro`s however do the exact same thing. I do not no how many followed and gps the spots we were fishing before the Stren Series. Jimmy Mize cut in on us today and started fishing. To bad all he caught was dinks. Did not know how to fish the ledge.

I KNOW FOR A FACT that the BASS ELITE SERIES PROs WHERE following the FLW guys and gps ing them 3 weeks agao when the FLW tour was on Ky Lake . Not saying it is right BUT it happens. ..

I was thinking the same thing...there has been a lot of this going on with the FLW, Stren Series and now the two BASS tournaments. Lots of folks moving in on you while fishing and doing the gps thing. Most of the ones I have experienced doing this are the people getting ready to fish their tournament...not locals. I am not sure which boards on the internet are whining about this but they need to get their stories straight.

"When leaving the spot he expressed his disgust in that situation"

I would think a pro such as Swindle could handle that a little better. Not all folks follow these things as we do and these folks could've just been fishing.

Billy...I was there and I saw the guys move in on Swindle and they were just fishing but they pulled up on him and started fishing the same ledge right next to him and stayed in front of him. I would have been pissed if I was fishing for blue gill with my daughter and they did that to me much less trying to make a check to pay my bills. It was so bad that I wanted to say something to the idiots. I think Swindle handled it perfectly. He did not say anything to the wannabe's and just left. He vocalized his disgust to another boat who was watching AFTER the guys left. Was not the only time we saw it happen and it was pitiful.

Same thing happened to the winner and some other pros who did not make the cut had to go out to the spectators and ask them to respect the guy's water since he could not speak english.

Velvick to the Rescue!!!

On the Bassmaster website, it said the exact above sentence. They said Byron went from spectator boat to spectator boat asking each to move away from morizo (spelling??). He explained that morizo did not speack english.

Now I would never make this complaint myself because I too don't like folks moving in on me, but wouldn't that be grounds for DQ? Doesn't BASS forbid a competitor from getting help from a non-competitior? Byron had already been eliminated, so he was no longer a competitior, and by offering help to morizo, he exposed him to a possible DQ, and Wirth could be declared the winner and awarded the 100 grand.

What do you guys think?

Make no mistake about it, I would have been following these guys and GPSing spots for the future had my boat been able to be trailered down there. I however, would never GPS a spot while the guy is still fishing it.

This is one Pro Sport where there are no barriers between contestant and spectator.

It wouldn't be cheap or any fun to try and come up with one. But interesting to say the least....no "Hey batter,batter,batter,,,,brick,,,brick,,,brick...
