I don't care who you are if you want to talk fishing he will talk until the cows come home.

As far as the "Model" he has the attention of the kids and if he can get them interested in fishing and the outdoors GREAT. I have seen him sit in the airport and sign autographs and talk to kids he stayed there until they had to go.

I don't think he cares who likes him. He is being himself.


Many peoples opinion would change if they talked to him.

You know Jerry you make a good point, you hung out with him and others haven't, I'll give you that respect. If you talk to him again ask him to treat and handle the fish better. In tournys I've seen him in he tosses them around like bags of sand. This teaches newby's or wannabe's to do the same. Looks like he is extremely rough on the fish at times. I guess I will never, and really don't want to understand this Hip Hop generation crap. I think it promotes hate, drugs, and all that's bad for society and glorifies it. Everytime I hear that vulger sh!t it makes me want to kill a midgit I get so mad, just kiddin. But really can someone tell me one solotary good thing that's ever came form listening to that hate music. Grab a Ho and pop a cap in that Five O, I mean think about it. And the other poster is right, there is nobody in pro bass fishing that's a bigger Gangster than Skeet Reese and Gerald Swindle, it's not just Ike. All this being said I don't get the Gangsta stuff especially in fishing I guess that's why I never liked the guy, but tell him to quit breaking down fish and slinging them around, I'm done, soap box removed.
