I just jumped back into the Iaconelli thread & since it's kinda buried from
before Christmas I thought I'd add my 2 cents here... I'm really surprised at some of you guys for disliking the guy just because he expresses himself differently than you would. This guy was a mere Federation boy not half a decade ago fellas, he's lived the dream. I admire what he's done, and without actually knowing him personally I feel I'm in no position to judge him characterwise. I think you guys should reconsider your opinions... Warren |

Mike's cool in my book. I love his high energy attitude and personality.

I didn't see the footage, so I should probably keep my mouth shut. But
(lol) much like going out on the town on New Years Eve, you can do it (celebrate) in such a manner that doesn't make you look like a jackass. Unless, of course, you don't care what people think of you |
More Iaconelli
Let me ask you, do you really care what others think of you?
I think Mike, like all of us, has an ego that helps him strive to be the best. But I also believe that the past few years on the tour has toughen and tested him. I believe Mike emotions were a combination of his shear joy, and a bit of "in your face" for those who doubted him or played with him over the past few years (mental games of psyche). Mike has made it over one of the biggest hurtles in his life. Watch for him to mellow a little. Oh, he will still get pumped up when he wins, but you will notice more joy and less anger (like when he won his first B.A.S.S. tournament). Do you remember his smiles and his joy? I believe that is the Mike you will see next year. -- Craig Baugher |

My opinion is that his outburst was unprofessional and over the top. It has nothing to do with personal dislike or diminishing his accomplishments or failing to recognize that he was in the federation a few years ago. I don't have to know him to have an opinion on how he acts on TV. |

At that point, he did not know that he had won, just that he had put himself in good position to do so.

Of course it wasn't JUST Mike. There was a lot of excess celebration every time one of them caught a fish. I've ridden in the boat with many of these guys in the Classic for a lot of years. NONE has put on an ahole celebration every time they caught a fish. In fact, none has gone as nuts onstage after winning, as Mike did every time he caught a fish. I blame ESPN. I think the contenders have been coached by ESPN to show as much excitement as possible, to make "good TV", and ensure themselves on camera facetime. That they didn't act that way when there was only one outdoor writer in the boat with them, and the over-the-top celebrations started with the inclusion of the ESPN cameras in their boats suggests that the behavior is more linked to ESPN than to their real emotions.

Not sure how that's an excuse, much less a reason. If it was, then Bryan Kerchal should have been Mike to the power of 10, since he was still a Federation guy when he won the Classic.

So, I just watched Charlie Moore's new show (Beat Charlie Moore) on ESPN2.
What a waste of TV bandwidth that is! Charlie had been doing the whole over-excited act forever. I'm sure that he fits right in with ESPN's vision of outdoors programming. But even he seems a step down from Mike on the feigned enthusiam scale. For what it's worth, Ted Ancher, who appeared with Charlie on today's show, is a classy guy -- and usually a very quiet and serious dude -- who's got to be embarrased by this show.

I wouldn't judge him personally, but break dancing as poorly as he did
on national TV is embarrassing. And I don't even have a problem with the screaming reactions after landing a fish, just the awful dancing. I never thought break dancing was cool, but now it's officially un-cool. Stick to fishing white boy. Rich P |

I haven't seen the footage so I'm just going on what I've read here, but
I'm wondering. If I was told I had to look more excited for the cameras, and after complaining I had someone leaning on me about it, I'm the kind of guy that might do something like that on purpose. Looking back at it they couldn't say I didn't do what they told me to, but they would think twice about telling such a 'bad actor' to do that again. Henry "I installed a skylight in my apartment...

Rich, if you watch the scene again you'll hear Mike say "This is the winning
fish!" as he's bringing it to the boat. I believe he knew that 3 3/4 pound bass put him over the top. Only seconds before encountering the bass he was saying how he fished hard but didn't think he had enough weight on his limit to win. He then missed the fish initially with one lure, instinctively reacted by cranking in the first bait, picked up a second rod with another bait on it & followed up the first encounter perfectly, instantly getting bit on the follow-up lure. He then got the bass out of the weeds & into the boat like a seasoned veteran. He freaked out the instant he got the lip-lock on the bass, sure enough. Yea, I had to turn down my volume, but I thought the whole scene above was awesome. Mike screamed things like "Never give up!" & "Bass fishing is great!", but I never heard a single "I'm the greatest!" or "Take that Gary Klein!". Mike is brash, confident & a little different than most. I'd be the first the criticize him if I ever saw him intentionally bring down our sport. But, frankly, I haven't ever seen him do that. And I've been beaten by him many times.

I'm reading this wondering what's going on. It says Goneangling at the top,
but there are complete sent4ences that make sense and read as if they were written by someone with a functional brain. Holy Cow, there's even punctuation! Good thing I read the reply under your own name before I started my own reply. Regardless of him saying "this is the winning fish", he had absolutely no way of knowing that it was. I heard other competitors say similar things without laying on the floor and rolling around screaming or otherwise making complete Aholes of themselves. If it wasn't for a bit of misfortune befalling Klien and Allen, it very well could have been a non-winning fish. So I still contend that fish only told him that he was in a good position to win.

I agree....anyone from the NE area remember Don Sarney's fishing show? He used
to pretty much tell you what lure he was using, weather, water temp, why he wsa using them...exact location, and then explain retrieves and evertying. He went out with a good charter captain every week, and they always had some neat little tricks. Charlie Moore, on the other hand...will say hes on a lake in the "Northeast" and then it takes you 15 minutes to figure out what lure hes using....and then you notice hes using a different lure on almost every fish he catches.... and while its amusing, I really dont want to see adam vinateri kicking feildgoals off a boat.

I'm sure that he fits right in with ESPN's vision of outdoors programming. But even he seems a step down from Mike on the feigned enthusiam scale. For what it's worth, Ted Ancher, who appeared with Charlie on today's show, is a classy guy -- and usually a very quiet and serious dude -- who's got to be embarrased by this show.

And I don't even have a problem with the screaming reactions after landing a fish, just the awful dancing. I never thought break dancing was cool, but now it's officially un-cool. Stick to fishing white boy. Rich P He actually nailed the windmill quite nicely. The limited footwork left a bit to be desired, but I was otherwise (for lack of a better word) impressed. It has been a number of year since I took the floor myself...18-19 years maybe, and almost that long since last I taught break dancing at a local dance studio. Not to bad for an NJ 30-something IMO.

Warren makes a mistake thinking screennames are reserved globally. Calls me an
idiot and then causes Richz, SteveH and few others to join the fracas. |
