Watchin Aaron Martins WHINE at Guntersville.........

[SlopFishin]

Tough doghnuts, Aaron. It's a 75,000 acre lake. Find another spot. Just because he's fishing for cash does not make him more important than a weekend hack like me. I work hard all week in a stressful job and work many weekends as well. Have not had a day on the lake for 3 weeks due to work. When I DO finally get out there it's "me time". And trust me, my "me time" is worth as much to me as any tournament cash is to a pro. It's how I recharge my batteries. Having said that, I do understand that these guys in the FLW and BASS are trying to make a living. If, for some odd reason, I'm on one of their honey holes and they ask very nicely I'll probably back off and let them have the spot.

One more thing, this does not apply to weekend patch pirates. Stay away. You're annoying when you move up on me acting like you're a pro.

Actually,im pretty tired of hearing all of the same guys on here whine about every stupid thing the tourny guys do.Its freakin stupid,you cant do nothing about it so why get on here and run your mouths about it.

[tracy]

being a tournament fisherman myself he wouldn't have even had to ask. If I were fishing for fun or prefishing for my own tourn. And I saw a Pro or any other person that I thought that was fishing a tournament that day I would step a side and watch maybe learn something to help me out someday.

A lot of these guys were probably following and watching the first 3 days of the tournament then moved in there before Aaron could get there that morning to see if they could out fish the Pro. It happens all the time.

sure it is public water but think how YOU would feel if it were reversed. Take it from me some of my fellow weekend tournament guys and fun fishermen are about as cut throat as they come.

Bottom line everyone on here at some time or another has complained about getting to where you wanted to fish and someone else already being there, or some butthole cut me off.

Most of the guys on here who complain about the pros wish they could be fishing for a living. If he asked nicely why wouln't you give him the spot. You could watch him and learn something. People follow these guys around all the time and then the next day and try to catch there fish. If some of you guys were fishing for that much money it would be a different story.

i under stand both sides but aaron martins is a cry baby any way you look at it. it is pretty bad when my wife who dont ever watch any of my fishin shows with me and the first one she realy ever watched she said who is that jerk he is a cry baby. i thought that was funny becouse me and my buddy dave have always said he wines alot. how come it is always him and no other pro that has this proublem. there are 101 pros that fish and he is the only one who complains about it. it seems to me he trys to find the hot local spots on lakes and then complain when other people are on it. it is almost like he cant ever find his own spots that nobody else is on like the other pros seem to do they either stay and deel with the fishin pressure or they move and find another spot. but what ever they decide they dont cry about it. i mean he did all that complaining and still won just think what he could have done if he would have put that time in fishin instead of crying. he is a good fisherman and i like his robo worms but please quit crying and just fish.

I'm not a pro. Heck, I just fish from the bank. So, what do I know? But, isn't part of fishing having to move and find new spots? When I go to a lake and someone is where I normally like to be, then I have to look for another spot. No asking someone to move, I know that part of fishing is having to find another spot. Sometimes you find one even better than what you had. These guys are in fishing tournaments, so let them fish like anyone else would have to do. Fishing for money seems like a privilege to me, not a right.

[DJD]

My first choice would be to give a Pro the spot because I'm just fishing and wouldn't want to interfere with someone trying to make a living. Now, if the guy was a knucklehead and pushed his way in or tossed some attitude my way then I wouldn't budge and would tell him why. It's simple respect and not everyone shows it or deserves it.
Heck, I have backed off spots for weekend tourny guys and received many thanks but again if the guy was stupid about it I wouldn't budge.

Martins is a WUSSY. He talks a big game in front of the camera then hugs the same guy later when he is face to face with him. Yea the boy can flat out fish but he'e still a big WUSSY. BTW George it was your spot first you don't have to yield to anyone and I mean anyone. These guys are suppose to be the cream of the crop find your own **** spot and shut the crap up about it!

Amen, brother, amen. If its a local doing it out of spite, or following the pro around, its wrong. However, the gentleman he talked to said he had a tournament coming up and had found the spot. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt and move on.

I had this tournament on DVR and I watched it again last night so that I could make sure my arguments in this thread were justified and that I didn't miss anything.

I especially like where Martens calls the guy a liar, and starts to use a little profanity but calls him a piece of work instead. Good job on cleaning it up for the camera, and way to set an example for any aspiring pro, Aaron.

Do you guys that disagree with his complaint even know the whole story? Aaron had fished that spot for 3 straight days and the guy that was watching him sat on that spot on day 4 so he could use it for a little tournament the following weekend. He was hole sitting. So you're darn right Aaron had a reason to complain. This joke of a fisherman is probably fishing for a$200 first place prize and Aaron is fishing for 100K. This is just my opinion. If it were me, I would have definetly moved off the spot and let him fish. For anyone to watch a pro fisherman and use his spots for their own tournament while it's still going on...that's very weak. I hope that guy was proud of himself to use someone else's fish to try and better himself. He must really feel like an accomplished fisherman. What a joke.

I love that term...''Someone elses fish''. NOBODY OWNS THE **** FISH! Pro's do this to weekend anglers all the time, most of them are the biggest cut throats around. It works both ways. First come first serve, PERIOD!
