Ike

[DJD]

Who cares if he is hated on...he brings it on himself. This act of kindness was top notch it showed heart and compassion and I applaud him for that!!

Great story!

Just curious on what antics everybody hates him for? The only thing that I see that could be a little annoying is all his screaming, but that just shows that hes into it. Just because the majority of normal people don't act like that does'nt mean he should'nt. Please correct me if there is something I have missed.

I love the guy. He is great with kids and does many seminars and articles and has his own show. He has found a way to sell the sport of bass fishing in a way that most do not agree with but it is working and puting the sport on the map. If I were fishing for a hundred grand and I caught a six pounder I would probably crap myself. All of Ky would hear me scream from California.

Please, please, please, let's not get this ball rollin again.

He is unique, he is different, he is good and he has promoted the sport very well, and the kid's love him, he has been very good for the sport, even though he screams, that gets on my nerves, as there is some show to this as this is a trademark for him,like spikning a football, doing a dance, celebrating after a dunk, Michael Jordans toung hanging out, that is just part of him, his actins might not seem normal to some but what is normal? And is anybody NORMAL? Normal means the same and like patterns etc. NO ONE here is normal.

I think he is a pretty stand-up guy and would go fishing with him. The instant he started acting like a baby (spitting in the boat, kicking electronics, breaking rods) I would start riding him hard though. That is an aweful habit.

Ike is awesome !! I think he has brought much needed attention nationally to pro-fishing. His antics only show me he is human and is passonate about what he does. Name any other pro sport be it baseball, nascar, basketball, football and youll find individuals that loose their cool and do something that gets national attention and creates alot of water cooler chat on Monday mornings. Ike gets camera time, and lots of it , and that, my friends is what the sponsers are looking for.... Also, I have heard far more stories about Ike going above and beyond, working w/ kids and showing he has a bigger heart with more compassion than any other member of the professional angling ranks.

I AGREE........GOOD for him........maybe he is a good guy after all.

AND I must admit, I like his 5 minute blurbs on Saturday morning. Fishing on THE FREAK, or whatever it is called.

Later,
