Just like this website-----start off complaining about the boat show and it turns into picking on some good guy who fishes for a living! Mark Menendez is one super good dude! He's a great seminar speaker, **** good fisherman and an all around cool guy. Don't know him real well, but have met and talked several times over the years and he has always been nice!
As far as being a sell out-----who isn't when it comes to professional sports----that's how most of them get paid. It's called making a living! Times are tough and they have to find a way to make a living too.
Just think before you post stupid crap!
