there are worse guys out there, by that I mean real stuck up guys, real dirtbags who act as though they are better than anybody and this guy doesn't do that. Yes he is over the top but I remember Hackney screamin "Godzilla couldn't beat me", Or Ish Monroe screamin when he caught that big one at Amistad, I think it's funny, amusing I don't look at it negatively Iaconelli is high strung, but how many times can you listen to "dats big momma" without cringing? I agree the breakdancing on deck is a bit much but I believe if you read his book Bassmasters asked him to do it, but they also asked Skeet to dance also. He's competitive and I take it that when he does catch a fish it actually means something to him, I know the fit he threw on camera was wrong but if you want to learn some new curse words fish with me when I break one off in a tourney. Really "meet" the guy he's not the character on TV because you only see glimpses of his fishing day due to the coverage. I don't know.... I get pumped when other guys get pumped up, have you ever fished with a partner who's having a bad day? the day that started wrong before getting into the boat? makes for a real cruddy day, but if he's pumped up LOOK OUT we gonna rock the world.
