If that was the case they wouldn't have it all the way up in that skinny water where I can jump out of the boat and my feet can touch both sides of the bank. Heyyooooo. dtrs5kprs 1

Heyyooooo. Abkeenan, I think you are getting closer to organizing a fall OAF around the dam area. that way it works for everyone. Spring up the river and fall around the dam. Mike

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. Ike knows how to get publicity for sure. And he is a very good fisherman. He did the right thing by moving out, but as a result he found out all he needed to know about that pocket. There were fish there. Thanks to Champ.

I normally try to conceal any fish I catch from boats around me but it had been a slow weekend for everyone and I was proud to see that one. I ended up around fifth place in that 2-day derby with less than 20 pounds. You know yourself how stingy October can be.
crazy4fishin Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I sat and talked with him Ish and Mike M. when I Marshaled a couple of years ago - he is a very different person off camera, nice, talkative etc. I did get the feeling that while he is passionate about fishing he is a show man and knew what it took to keep the cameras on him. He also has a web show which i have never watched......all that being said that calendar would not hang in my house....who knows maybe TW will throw on in with each order under $50!!

C4F This is what I have always heard about Ike as well. Not a lot different than Jimmy Houston, or any of the others who turned catching a couple into a popularity thing. Same for Ish. He stayed at Schooner in 2011 during the flood, had some time to talk since they couldn't fish. Maybe it is the "I" in the name.

My biggest problem with Ike and Ish both is their foul mouths when they know they're on camera. There's just no sense in it. crazy4fishin and Fish24/7 2

I would be afraid to give it to someone, they might get so mad, they'd roll it up and start beating me with it. I don't want to be the next day headline: "Man beaten to death with rolled up Ike calendar." Fish24/7 1
