That calendar is so stupid that it is funny.

However, it would make a great gag gift for the right person.

Heeeeey Champ, we got you something.

 I like wall calendars but I'll pass on that one .

what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends

I don't get the joke and I'm proud that I don't. 

His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

The way Ike shows his butt sometimes makes me cringe. However, I ran into him several years ago in the small pocket right above Hardman Hollow. It was about 1:30 in the afternoon and I was fishing the fall Central Pro-Am event. He was already in there but was out in the middle dropshotting so I waved and asked if he minded if I buzzed thru there with my spinnerbait. He asked if I was fishing the CPA tourney and when I said yes, he reached for his trolling motor and said, "Dude, I'm just practicing for next week. (There was a PAA derby that upcoming week). I can practice here tomorrow. Good luck in your derby." I tried to tell him he was not in my way but he insisted on leaving and did.

Best part was just as he was cranking his motor, I caught one about 3 pounds. He gave me a big thumbs-up and took off. As I said, I don't agree with a lot of what he does, but I thought he showed a lot of class that day.

I have no doubt it will catch fish but it is designed to catch fishermen . Way way back in the day we used to pinpoint crappie beds  with nothing more than a small treble hook in back of a weight. Have caught bass to over three lbs  casting that thing around. Only bet  I would make on lures is a bass will bite anything.

Ike is a very good fisherman. I just prefer him when he is not in WWF mode.

While Ike does a lot of childish and bizarre things, from what I've read with people that have had direct contact with him said he is a super nice guy and genuine. He is just passionate about fishing and obviously very competitive. He just isn't very good reeling in his emotions on the water (see what I did there). I've read from guys on Bass Boat Central who marshaled an Elite event and drew Ike and in each case have said he was an awesome guy. Did Alex (Heitman) draw him when the Elite's were here last on TR? I thought I remember Alex saying he was a good guy but that could have been another Elite he was with not sure. While I don't condone snapping rods in half, throwing gear in the water (mostly because I have to pay for mine) or cussing out dogs, B.A.S.S has enough of the "good ol' boys" who are humble and polite like Mark Davis, Denny Brauer, Shaw Grigsby, Greg Hackney, etc. A little "bad boy" attitude brings a little life and flair to the events that is otherwise pretty tame on the verge of boring (to most people). A "Happy Gilmore" of fishing if you will. Not knocking the previously mentioned guys AT ALL for their humble behavior but just pointing out the fact that Ike does boost ratings or attention when he does some of his stuff. His sponsors love it when he does something stupid/attention attracting to their product, as long as it's not TOO stupid and he hasn't crossed that line.....yet.
