Ned and "the Ned"- KC Star

[Champ188]

When driving down the road alone to go pick up my jersey at the dry cleaners -- or when Donna is asleep on the way to the lake -- I practice saying, "Big un, big un, big un, big un, big un" over and over so I can be ready next time a porch poodle gecko stub nails my junk. Of course, I always make a smooth modulation into "Well, maybe he's not as big as I thought" and ultimately to, "Dang, I hope he keeps."

This some very funny stuff!! Who would have ever thought to call a dink a "porch poodle gecko stub"

LOL

It is comical watching guys treat a 2lbr like they have a Marlin on.

[Guest]

Not to mention all the running around the boat & squatting like they're constipated when they set the hook on said 2lber.

Hey, it's a fishing show....You either have to SAY something entertaining, or DO something entertaining, otherwise who would wanna watch it ?

Thing is, for anyone who might still believe all those antics aren't as fake as "pro" wrestling, consider MIke McClelland, Mark Davis, Todd Faircloth, Gary Klein, Alton Jones and other low-drama anglers who just go out there to fish and get their jobs done. Those guys have to be in the top 3 going into the final day to get on the TV show. Why? They don't play BASS's bullcrap games and act like fools. Iaconelli can miss the cut and still manage to get air time.

The way I see it, BASS is trying to sell a product to nonfishermen (who only watch for the drama) and is losing the real fishermen in the process.

Hard to believe Jerry McKinnis went from having the first syndicated fishing show -- and a darn good one -- to being head promoter of the circus act that the Elite Series has become.

Its kinda weird to see Ike spitting in the mouth's of fish he catches on camera. What's that all about anyway?

I could not agree more. Same goes for their mag. Parts of it read like an issue of Boy's Life that I used to get when I was a kid.

Bass Blaster has some good info at times, but he is just way too cool to stand most of the time. Maybe if I wore a buff, ran 70+ to throw a $90 swimbait at a point three times before moving, for a limit of slob donkey monkey goat pandas (or whatever the cool kids call them, I think it means "bass" in English), and did it all in a flat billed hat I would appreciate it more. Am sure it plays well with the "I buy my own jerseys" crowd.

I don't have a clue who this Kumar dude is, but dtrs5kprs you sure paint a great word picture of him. Sounds like I'm not missing much. All the whooping and hollerring it reminds me of the old Vince Lombardi quote, 'When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before.'

Gimme Harold Ensley narrating 8mm silent movies from his couch at Channel 5!
