Hmmmm. I will agree with portions of this thread. This whitesnoop guy says some questionable things, almost brash at times. And the handle whitesnoop is suspect at best. That being said, the guy makes some valid points. It appears he has ruffled the feathers of the smallmouth message board elitists. He's been called inferior, unable to eclipse the pinnacle of a 20" just because he produces no photos.
Seems odd that some are so open and willing to accept all viewpoints until someone has an angle that doesn't gel with there own . Could he possibly ill with all the boasting? Maybe. Does it effect his fishing? I don't know. Does he feel inferior because he doesn't post every 18" he catches, where he caught it, on what bait it was caught on and his location? Possibly....
I am a nobody. What would I know? Just food for thought. Just because he doesn't subscribe to the smallmouth mafia mindset doesn't mean he should "go away...". Thats far from the friendly thing to say. Doesn't make me want to spend my hard earned buck buying the the high definition dances crawfish...
