snakem Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Ealy, the ammount of misinformation, they feed us is only equaled by our nieve'tae to believe it. With the sponcerships you can bet that any one thats wins or even finishs in the money is fishing those baits, weather that's what they caught them on or not. A few years ago, one of my tournament partners was sponsored by Lucky Strike. Every time his name came into print related to Lucky Strike, he recieved $500.00. We never fished a Lucky Strike bait all year. We fished 12 derbys and he collected 6 grand, cause we placed or won everyone. He said we fished the baits, so I guess we did. I did not see any of the sponsor money. As far as locations go. These guys are back all the time and they will not broadcast their locations. I just know about Hackney from 2 of the boys that fished with him. As long as this go on, fisherman will lie about baits and locations. Right on Bill ,I hear what your saying. Snakem Out.
Members BoBo Posted March 12, 2009 Members Posted March 12, 2009 Don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but I do know for sure that Hackney caught most of his final day stringer in Spring Br. You see our club was down there that Saturday and one of the guys that I fish with from time to time tells me how his morning went down. It was like this...He pulled into Spring first thing Sat morning fishing a crankbait to no avail and about 10 minutes later Hackney and camera boat come in there right behind him and he proceeds to land several keepers on that shakey head. I know this is true because my friends boat is clearly distiguishable in the background of the picture of Hackney fishing that was posted on the BassMaster web site.

Wow,What some unscrupulous people wont do for money.Is that guy still your friend?.There maybe a few pros that will lie about what there using but when the camera boat is on them what there using is on film for everyone to see...
